Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts inof assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes.statements. Actual results maycould differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposits with other banks which have an original maturity of three months or less.

Investment Securities

estimates. The Company has no securities classified as trading, or as held to maturity. Securities available-for-sale are acquired as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, current market conditions, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains orallowance for credit losses, being reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of deferred income tax. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized/accreted to the earlier of call or maturity based on expected lives, which lives are adjusted based on prepayment assumptions and call optionality if any. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities belowfinancial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to significant change.

Risks and Uncertainties
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their costability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that are other-than-temporary in nature result in write-downsalmost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the individual securitiesoutbreak has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. While there has been no material adverse impact to their fair value. Factors affecting the determinationCompany’s employees and operations to date, COVID-19 could still potentially create widespread business continuity or credit issues for the Company depending on how much longer the pandemic lasts. Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of whether other-than-temporary impairment has occurred includeMarch 2020 as a downgrading $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the security byCARES Act is to prevent a rating agency,severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and providers. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other follow-up stimulus legislative and regulatory relief efforts have had and are expected to continue to have a significant deterioration inmaterial impact on the Company’s operations.
The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to control and manage COVID-19 escalates further or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full universe or extent that the impact of COVID-19, and resulting measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company’s operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.
Financial position and results of operations
The Company’s fee income has been and could be further reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company is actively working with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the issuer, orexpected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, the Company is unable to project the full extent of the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact its fee income in future periods.
The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company is actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees will still accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed. In such a changescenario, interest income in management’s intent andfuture periods could be negatively impacted. At this time the Company is unable to project the full extent of the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to hold a securityrepay in future periods.
Capital and liquidity
While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses.
The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, and rates for ashort term funding have recently been very low. If funding costs were to become elevated for an extended period of time, sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair valueit could have an adverse effect on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include the: (1) duration and magnitudethe Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the decline in value; (2) financial condition of the issuer or issuers; and (3) structure of the security.

The entire amount of an impairment loss is recognized in earnings only when: (1)Company’s customers to withdraw their funds, the Company intends to sell the security;might become more reliant on volatile or (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the security before recoveryexpensive sources of its amortized cost basis; or (3)funding.

Asset valuation
Currently, the Company does not expect COVID-19 to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders’ equity as comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company regularly engages in sales of residential mortgage loans held for sale and the guaranteed portion of small business loans, guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), and originated by the Bank. The Company has electedaffect its ability to carry loans held for sale at fair value. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments. Gains and losses on sales of these loans are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s current practice is to sell residential mortgage loans held for sale on a servicing released basis, and, therefore, it has no intangible asset recorded in the normal course of businessaccount timely for the value ofassets on its balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such servicing as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. The sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on a servicing retained basis, in a transaction apart from the loan’s origination, gives rise to an excess servicing asset, which is computed on a loan by loan basis with the unamortized amount being included in intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This excess servicing asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis (with adjustment for prepayments) as an offset to servicing fees collected and is included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (i.e. interest rate lock commitments). Such interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market are considered to be derivatives. To protect against the price risk inherent in residential mortgage loan commitments, the Company utilizes both “best efforts” and “mandatory delivery” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Under a “best efforts” contract, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor and the investor commits to a price that it will purchase the loan from the Company if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the investor commits to purchase a loan at a price representing a premium on the day the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer/investor has assumed the interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Bank is not generally exposed to losses on loans sold utilizing best efforts, nor will it realize gains related to rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates. The market values of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded. Because of the high correlation between rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts, no gain or loss should occur on the interest rate lock commitments. Under a “mandatory delivery” contract, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. If the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay the investor a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to compensate the investor for the shortfall. The Company manages the interest rate risk on interest rate lock commitments by entering into forward sale contracts of mortgage backed securities, whereby the Company obtains the right to deliver securities to investors in the future at a specified price. Such contracts are accounted for as derivatives and are recorded at fair value in derivative assets or liabilities, carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet within other assets or other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other income within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment to the customer and closing and sale of the loan to an investor generally ranges from 30 to 90 days under current market conditions. The gross gains on loan sales are recognized based on new loan commitments with adjustment for price and pair-off activity. Commission expenses on loans held for sale are recognized based on loans closed.


In circumstances wherewidening credit spreads, the Company does not deliver the whole loan to an investor, but rather elects to retain the loan in its portfolio, the loan is transferred from held for sale to loans at fair value at date of transfer.

The Company originates a small number of FHA loans through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Multifamily Accelerated Program (“MAP”). The Company securitizes these loans through the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) MBS I program and sells the resulting securities in the open market to authorized dealers in the normal course of business and generally retains the servicing rights. When servicing is retained on FHA loans securitized and sold, the Company computes an excess servicing asset on a loan by loan basis with the unamortized amount being included in intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue represents gains from the sale of the Ginnie Mae securities and net revenues earned on the servicing of FHA loans securitizing the Ginnie Mae securities. The gains on Ginnie Mae securities include the realized and unrealized gains and losses on sales of FHA mortgage loans, as well as theanticipate significant changes in fair value of FHA interest rate lock commitments and FHA forward loan sale commitments. Revenue from servicing commercial FHA mortgages is recognized as earned based on the specific contractual terms of the underlying servicing agreements, along with amortization of and changes in impairment of mortgage servicing rights.

Loans

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized deferred costs and fees. Interest income on loans is accrued at the contractual rate on the principal amount outstanding. It is the Company’s policymethodology used to discontinue the accrual of interest when circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful. Deferred fees and costs are being amortized on the interest method over the term of the loan.

Management considers loans impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to contractual terms. Loans are evaluated for impairment in accordance with the Company’s portfolio monitoring and ongoing risk assessment procedures. Management considers the financial condition of the borrower, cash flow of the borrower, payment status of the loan, and the value of the collateral, if any, securing the loan. Generally, impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and consumer type loans which are evaluated collectively for impairment and are generally placed on nonaccrual when the loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest. Loans specifically reviewed for impairment are not considered impaired during periods of “minimal delay” in payment (90 days or less) provided eventual collection of all amounts due is expected. The impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, ordetermine the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the collateral. In appropriate circumstances, interest income on impaired loans may be recognized onassets measured in accordance with GAAP.

COVID-19 could cause a cash basis.

Higher Risk Lending – Revenue Recognition

The Company had occasionally made higher risk acquisition, development,further and construction (“ADC”) loans that entailed higher risks than ADC loans made following normal underwriting practices (“higher risk loan transactions”). These higher risk loan transactions were made throughsustained decline in the Company’s subsidiary, ECV. This activity was limited as to individual transaction amount and total exposure amounts, based on capital levels, and is carefully monitored. The loans are carried on the balance sheet at amounts outstanding. ECV had three higher risk loan transactions outstanding asstock price. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, amounting to $9.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively.


Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable losses on loans and other extensions of credit that may become uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is determined through careful and continuous review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and involves the balancing of a number of factors to establish a prudent level of allowance. Among the factors considered in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses are lending risks associated with growth and entry into new markets, loss allocations for specific credits, the level of the allowance to nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, economic conditions, portfolio trends and credit concentrations, changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, and management’s judgment with respect to current and expected economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan portfolio. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values. Loans or any portion thereof deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance, while recoveries are credited to the allowance. Management adjusts the level of the allowance through the provision for credit losses, which is recorded as a current period operating expense. The allowance for credit losses consists of allocated and unallocated components.

The components of the allowance for credit losses represent an estimation done pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450,“Contingencies,” or ASC Topic 310,“Receivables.” Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a specific credit that management believes indicate the probability that a loss may be incurred. For potential problem credits for which specific allowance amounts have not been determined,2020, the Company establishes allowances according to the application of credit risk factors. These factors are set by management and approved by the appropriate Board committee to reflect its assessment of the relative level of risk inherent in each risk grade. A third component of the allowance computation, termed a nonspecific or environmental factors allowance, is based upon management’s evaluation of various environmental conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of either the specific allowance or formula allowance. Such conditions include general economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio categories, recent loss experience in particular loan categories, duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examination results, findings of outside review consultants, and management’s judgment with respect to various other conditions including credit administration and management and the quality of risk identification systems. Executive management reviews these environmental conditions quarterly, and documents the rationale for all changes.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate; however, determination of the allowance is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. Evaluation of the potential effects of these factors on estimated losses involves a high degree of uncertainty, including the strength and timing of economic cycles and concerns over the effects of a prolonged economic downturn in the current cycle. In addition, various banking agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, and independent consultants engaged by the Bank, periodically review the Bank’s loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses. Such review may result in recognition of additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Premises and equipment are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, three to five years for computer software and hardware, and five to twenty years for building improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases, which may include renewal options where management has the positive intent to exercise such options, or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. The costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. These costs are included as a component of premises and equipment expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Assets acquired through loan foreclosure are held for sale and are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. The new basis is supported by appraisals that are generally no more than twelve months old. Costs after acquisition are generally expensed. If the fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through noninterest expense. The valuation of foreclosed assets is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of changes in market conditions or appraised values.


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets that have finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and subject to periodic impairment testing. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are amortized to expense using accelerated or straight-line methods over their respective estimated useful lives.

Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at the reporting unit level, which must be conducted at least annually. The Company performs impairment testing during the fourth quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired.

The Company performsperformed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it iswas more likely than not that the fair value of athe reporting unit iswas less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing updated qualitative factors, the Company determines it is not more likely than not thatAs of June 30, 2020, a triggering event was deemed to have occurred as a result of COVID-19 and, accordingly, a step one assessment was performed by comparing the fair value of athe reporting unit is less thanwith its carrying amount it does not have to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.(including goodwill). Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill impairment test and determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit under the second step of the goodwill impairment test are judgmentalis subjective and often involveinvolves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are used in determining the fair value of other intangible assets. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, market comparisons and recent transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions including projected future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the market rate of return, projected growth rates and determination and evaluation of appropriate market comparables.comparable factors. Based on the results of qualitative assessmentsthe assessment of all reporting units, the Company concluded that no impairment existed at December 31, 2016. However, futureas of June 30, 2020. The Company determined that there were no triggering events and an impairment analysis was not performed as of September 30, 2020. An impairment analysis will next be performed during the fourth quarter as part of our regularly scheduled annual impairment testing. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that goodwill or other intangibles have become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment loss. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Business Continuity Plan
The Company has implemented a remote working strategy for many of its employees. The Company does not anticipate incurring additional material cost related to its continued deployment of the remote working strategy.  No material operational or internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date. The Company does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain its systems and controls in light of the measures the Company has taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We have established general guidelines for returning to the workplace that include having employees maintain safe distances, staggered work schedules to limit the number of employees in a single location, more frequent cleaning of our facilities and other practices encouraging a safe working environment during this challenging time, including required COVID-19 training programs. The Company does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of its business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and consistent with regulatory guidance, we have also implemented a short-term loan modification program to provide temporary payment relief to certain borrowers who meet the program's qualifications. At September 30, 2020, the Company had 0 accruing loans 90 days or more past due. The deferred payments along with interest accrued during the deferral period are due and payable on the maturity date of the existing loan. As of September 30, 2020, we had ongoing temporary modifications on approximately 321 loans representing approximately $851 million (approximately 10.8% of total loans) in outstanding balances, as compared to 708 loans representing approximately $1.6 billion (approximately 20% of total loans) at June 30, 2020. Additionally, none of the deferrals are reflected in the Company's asset quality measures (i.e. non-performing loans) due to the provision of the CARES Act that permits U.S. financial institutions to temporarily suspend the U.S. GAAP requirements to treat such short-term loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"). Similar provisions have also been confirmed by interagency guidance issued by the federal banking agencies and confirmed with staff members of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
The Company actively participates in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP loans originated by the Bank generally have a two-year term and earn interest at 1% plus fees. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, PPP loans totaled $456.1 million to just over 1,400 businesses. The Company understands that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for credit loss through additional credit loss expense charges to earnings.
Credit
The Company is exposedworking with customers directly affected by COVID-19. The Company is prepared to certain risks arising from bothoffer short-term assistance in accordance with regulatory guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 virus, the Company is engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its businessrequired allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and record additional provision for credit losses. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology for determining our provision for credit losses and ACL with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss model. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with ASU 2016-2 "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-2"). In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. One such change is to require credit-related impairments to be recognized as an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities amortized cost basis when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not more than likely that they will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the securities amortized cost basis. We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company does not own HTM investment debt securities.
The following table presents a breakdown of the provision for credit losses included in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the applicable periods (in thousands):

Total provision for credit losses$6,607 $40,654 

Loans
Loans held for investment are stated at the amount of unpaid principal reduced by deferred income (net of costs). Interest on loans is recognized using the simple-interest method on the daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, and commitment fees are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan, or over the commitment period, as applicable.
A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Commercial and industrial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to term loans. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often requested. The most common change in terms provided by the Company is an extension of an interest-only term. As of September 30, 2020, all performing TDRs were categorized as interest-only modifications. Refer to the subsection above "Lending operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposuresaccommodations to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate deposits. Refer to the “Loans Held for Sale” sectionborrowers" for a discussion on forward commitment contracts,the impact of the CARES Act on TDRs.
A loan is considered past due when a contractually due payment has not been received by the contractual due date. We place a loan on non-accrual status when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed as a reduction of current period interest income. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining book balance of the asset is deemed to be collectible. If collectability is questionable, then cash payments are also considered derivatives.

Atapplied to principal. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both principal and interest are current and it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the inceptionterms of the loan agreement.

Allowance for Credit Losses- Loans
The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the expected credit losses in the loans held for investment and available-for-sale debt securities portfolios.
13

ASU 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when it becomes probable that a derivative contract,credit loss will be incurred, with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the Company designatesamortized cost basis of loans to present the derivativenet amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged- off.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as onedifferences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, loan concentrations, credit quality, or term, as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or other relevant factors.
The allowance for credit losses is comprised of three typesreserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Reserves on loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis (nonaccrual, TDR). Nonaccrual loans are specifically reviewed for loss potential and when deemed appropriate are assigned a reserve based on an individual evaluation. For purposes of determining the Company’s intentionspool-basis reserve, the remainder of the portfolio, representing all loans not assigned an individual reserve, is segregated by call report codes. These historical loss rates are then modified to incorporate our reasonable and beliefsupportable forecast of future losses at the portfolio segment level, as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments. A similar process is employed to likely effectivenesscalculate a reserve assigned to off-balance sheet commitments, specifically unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit, and any needed reserve is recorded in reserve for unfunded commitments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For periods beyond which we are able to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts, we revert to the historical loss rate on a straight line basis over a twelve month period.  See further detail regarding our forecasting methodology in the “Discounted Cash Flow Method” section below.
Even though portions of the allowance may be allocated to specific loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. Portfolio segments are used to pool loans with similar risk characteristics and align with our methodology for measuring expected credit losses.
A summary of our primary portfolio segments is as follows:
Commercial. The commercial loan portfolio is comprised of lines of credit and term loans for working capital, equipment, and other business assets across a hedge.variety of industries. These three typesloans are (1)used for general corporate purposes including financing working capital, internal growth, and acquisitions; and are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets of our clients’ businesses.
Income producing – commercial real estate. Income producing commercial real estate loans are comprised of permanent and bridge financing provided to professional real estate owners/managers of commercial and residential real estate projects and properties who have a hedgedemonstrated record of past success with similar properties. Collateral properties include apartment buildings, office buildings, hotels, mixed-use buildings, retail, data centers, warehouse, and shopping centers. The primary source of repayment on these loans is generally expected to come from lease or operation of the real property collateral. Income producing commercial real estate loans are impacted by fluctuation in collateral values, as well as rental demand and rates.
Owner occupied – commercial real estate. The owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of permanent financing provided to operating companies and their related entities for the purchase or refinance of real property wherein their business operates. Collateral properties include industrial property, office buildings, religious facilities, mixed-use property, health care and educational facilities.
Real Estate Mortgage – Residential. Real estate mortgage residential loans are comprised of consumer mortgages for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing first lien real estate loans secured by primary-residence, second-home, and rental residential real property.
14

Construction – commercial and residential. The construction commercial and residential loan portfolio is comprised of loans made to builders and developers of commercial and residential property, for both renovation, new construction, and development projects. Collateral properties include apartment buildings, mixed use property, residential condominiums, single and 1-4 residential property, and office buildings. The primary source of repayment on these loans is expected to come from the sale, permanent financing, or lease of the real property collateral. Construction loans are impacted by fluctuations in collateral values and the ability of the borrower or ultimate purchaser to obtain permanent financing.
Construction – commerical and industrial ("C&I") (owner occupied). The construction C&I (owner occupied) portfolio comprises loans to operating companies and their related entities for new construction or renovation of the real or leased property in which they operate. Generally these loans contain provisions for conversion to an owner occupied commercial real estate or to a commercial loan after completion of construction. Collateral properties include industrial, healthcare, religious facilities, restaurants, and office buildings.
Home Equity. The home equity portfolio is comprised of consumer lines of credit and loans secured by subordinate liens on residential real property.
Other Consumer. The other consumer portfolio is comprised of consumer purpose loans not secured by real property, including personal lines of credit and loans, overdraft lines, and vehicle loans. This category also includes other loan items such as overdrawn deposit accounts as well as loans and loan payments in process.
We have several pass credit grades that are assigned to loans based on varying levels of risk, ranging from credits that are secured by cash or marketable securities, to watch credits which have all the characteristics of an acceptable credit risk but warrant more than the normal level of monitoring. Special mention loans are those that are currently protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, but that are potentially weak and constitute an additional credit risk. These loans have the potential to deteriorate to a substandard grade due to the existence of financial or administrative deficiencies. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Some substandard loans are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower and of the collateral pledged and may be considered impaired. Substandard loans can be accruing or can be on non-accrual depending on the circumstances of the individual loans.
Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high. All doubtful loans are on non-accrual.
The methodology used in the estimation of the allowance, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and forecasted economic conditions. Changes are reflected in the pool-basis allowance and in reserves assigned on an individual basis as the collectability of classified loans is evaluated with new information. As our portfolio has matured, historical loss ratios have been closely monitored. The review of the appropriateness of the allowance is performed by executive management and presented to management committees, Director’s Loan Committee, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors. The committees' reports to the Board are part of the Board's review on a quarterly basis of our consolidated financial statements.
When management determines that foreclosure is probable, and for certain collateral-dependent loans where foreclosure is not considered probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral adjusted for selling costs, when appropriate. A loan is considered collateral- dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2)reasonable expectation that a hedge ofloan will be in a forecasted transactiontrouble debt restructuring or the variabilityextension or renewal options are included in the borrower contract.
We do not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable balances because these balances are written off in a timely manner as a reduction to interest income when loans are placed on non-accrual status.
Discounted Cash Flow Method
15

The Company uses the discounted cash flowsflow (“DCF”) method to be received or paid relatedestimate expected credit losses for the commercial, income producing – commercial real estate, owner occupied – commercial real estate, real estate mortgage - residential, construction – commercial and residential, construction – C&I (owner occupied), home equity, and other consumer loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds is based on historical internal data.
The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes and forecasts regional unemployment as a loss driver. COVID-19 has negatively impacted unemployment projections, which inform our CECL economic forecast and increased our loss reserve as of September 30, 2020.
For all DCF models, management has determined that 8 quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a recognized asset or liability (“historical loss rate over twelve months on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from reputable and independent third parties to inform its loss driver forecasts over the forecast period.
The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow hedge”), or (3) anstream at the instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). Regarding Interest Rate Swap Derivatives,level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the Company has no fair value hedges, only cash flow hedges. For a cash flow hedge,impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (i.e. the period wheninstrument expected cash flows are exchangedthen discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level Net Present Value ("NPV"). An ACL is established for the difference between counterparties). For both fair valuethe instrument’s NPV and cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not highly effective in hedging the changes in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivativesamortized cost basis.
Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
Loans that do not qualify for hedge accountingshare risk characteristics are reported currently in earnings, as noninterest income.


Net cash settlements on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Net cash settlements on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in noninterest income. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception andevaluated on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income or expense. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are amortized into earnings over the same periods in which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.

Customer Repurchase Agreements

The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same securities. Under these arrangements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The agreements are entered into primarily as accommodations for large commercial deposit customers. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the securities underlying the securities sold under agreements to repurchase remain in the respective assets accounts and are delivered to and held asindividual basis. For collateral by third party trustees.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing and advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company employs the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities (i.e., temporary timing differences) and are measured at the enacted rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, the Company may establish a reserve against deferred tax assets in those cases where realization is less than certain, although no such reserves exist at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, or September 30, 2016.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfers ofdependent financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. In certain cases, the recourse to the Bank to repurchase assets may exist but is deemed immaterial based on the specific facts and circumstances.


Earnings per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is derived by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period measured. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period measured including the potential dilutive effects of common stock equivalents.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with ASC Topic 718,“Compensation,” the Company records as compensation expense an amount equal to the amortization (over the remaining service period) of the fair value of option and restricted stock awards computed at the date of grant. Compensation expense on performance based grants is recorded based on the probability of achievement of the goals underlying the performance grant. Refer to Note 10 for a description of stock-based compensation awards, activity and expense.

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

ASU 2014-09,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Previous revenue recognition guidance in GAAP consisted of broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. In contrast, IFRS provided limited revenue recognition guidance and, consequently, could be difficult to apply to complex transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and the IASB initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would: (1) remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; (2) provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; (3) improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets; (4) provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements; and (5) simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. To meet those objectives, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies generally will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard was initially effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption was not permitted. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date” which deferred the effective date by one year (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017). For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. In addition, the FASB has begun to issue targeted updates to clarify specific implementation issues of ASU 2014-09. These updates include ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” ASU No. 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” and ASU No. 2016-20 “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other GAAP, the Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on revenue most closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income and expense. The Company is substantially complete with its overall assessment of revenue streams and reviewing of related contracts potentially affected by the ASU including deposit related fees, sale of OREO, interchange fees, and other fee income. The Company’s assessment suggests that adoption of this ASU should not materially change the method in which we currently recognize revenue for these revenue streams. The Company is also substantially complete with its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether such costs should be presented as expenses or contra-revenue (i.e., gross vs. net). In addition, the Company is evaluating the ASU’s expanded disclosure requirements. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if such adjustment is deemed to be material.


ASU 2016-01,“Financial Instruments—(Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments by making targeted improvements to GAAP as follows: (1) require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, 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 a similar investment of the same issuer; (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value; (3) eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (4) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (5) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (6) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (7) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (8) clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed a preliminary evaluation of the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01. Based on this evaluation,where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the NPV from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.

A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered a TDR when two conditions are met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) concessions are made for the borrower's benefit that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. The Company’s ACL reflects all effects of a TDR when an individual asset is specifically identified as a reasonably expected TDR. The Company has determined that a TDR is reasonably expected no later than the point when the lender concludes that modification is the best course of action and it is at least reasonably possible that the troubled borrower will accept some form of concession from the lender to avoid a default. Reasonably expected TDRs and executed non-performing TDRs are evaluated individually to determine the required ACL. Refer to the subsection above "Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers" for a discussion on the impact of the CARES Act on TDRs.

Although ASU No. 2016-012016-13 replaced the legacy other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model with a credit loss model, it retained the fundamental nature of the legacy OTTI model. One notable change from the legacy OTTI model is when evaluating whether credit loss exists, an entity may no longer consider the length of time fair value has been less than amortized cost. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criterion is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Any impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income as a non-credit-related impairment. The majority of available-for-sale debt securities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were issued by US agencies. However, as of September 30, 2020, the Company determined that part of the unrealized loss positions in AFS corporate and municipal securities could be the result of credit losses, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses of $156 thousand was recorded. See Note 3 Investment Securities for more information.

We have made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale debt securities and report accrued interest separately in accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Available-for-sale debt securities are placed on non- accrual status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on non-accrual status. Accordingly, we do not recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable.
Loan Commitments and Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The Company records a reserve for unfunded commitments (“RUC”) on off-balance sheet credit exposures through a charge to provision for credit loss expense in the Company’s consolidated Statement of Income. The RUC on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur, and is included in the RUC on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Other New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020
17

In March 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the Agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications.  Under Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The Agencies confirmed with the staff of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. This interagency guidance has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, the full extent of such impact cannot be quantified at this time. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the Company will continue to closely monitor developments and additional guidance.

ASU 2016-02,“Leases (Topic 842).” Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the followingStatements for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases): (1) a lease liability, which is the present value of a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting under the new guidance remains largely unchanged as it is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. Leveraged leases have been eliminated, although lessors can continue to account for existing leveraged leases using the current accounting guidance. Other limited changes were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and the new revenue recognition standard. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will be required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The intention is to require enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. All entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. They have the option to use certain relief; full retrospective application is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and will be closely monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-09,“Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718).” ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. Some of the key provisions of this new ASU include: (1) companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. The guidance also eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. In addition, the guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity; (2) increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance also requires an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on its statement of cash flows (prior guidance did not specify how these cash flows should be classified); and (3) permit companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. ASU 2016-09 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and the adoption of this new standard (ASU 2016-09) resulted in a net $460 thousand, or $0.01 per basic common share, reduction to income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

further detail.

ASU 2016-13,“Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326).” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets Under the CECL standard and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. In issuingbased on the standard,January 1, 2020 effective date, the FASB is respondingCompany made an initial adjustment to criticism that today’s guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses.credit losses of $10.6 million along with $4.1 million to the reserve for unfunded commitments. In addition, entities will needaccordance with adoption of CECL, the initial January 1, 2020 cumulative-effect adjustment was to discloseretained earnings (net of taxes) under the amortized cost balancemodified retrospective approach.

Entities will applyLeases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2020-2") incorporates SEC SAB 119 (updated from SAB 102) into the standard’s provisions asAccounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") by aligning SEC recommended policies and procedures with ASC 326. ASU 2020-2 was effective on January 1, 2020 and had no significant impact on our documentation requirements, financial statement or disclosures.
ASU 2020-3 "Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2020-3") revised a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings aswide variety of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU No. 2016-15,“Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” FASB issued this update in August 2016. Current GAAP is unclear or does not include specific guidance on how to classify certain transactionstopics in the statementCodification with the intent to make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-3 was effective immediately upon its release in March 2020 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740)" ("ASU 2019-12") simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and improves the consistent application of cash flows. ThisGAAP by clarifying and amending other existing guidance. ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how eight particular transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is2019-12 will be effective for interimus on January 1, 2021 and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. Entities will be required to apply the guidance retrospectively. If it is impracticable to apply the guidance retrospectively for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, ASU No. 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2020-4, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" ("ASU 2020-4") provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU No. 2017-04,“Simplifyinganticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks.

The guidance removes Step 2as a continuation of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will nowexisting agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value,required for modifications not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

ASU 2020-4 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-4 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed aftercontract modifications as of January 1, 2017. The Company expects to early adopt upon the next goodwill impairment test in 2017. ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have2020, or prospectively from a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2017-12,“Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities(ASU 2017-12). The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued this update in August 2017. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption indate within an interim period permitted. The Company plansthat includes or is subsequent to adoptMarch 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019.must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic.

Note 2. Cash and Due from Banks

Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act requires that banks maintain noninterest reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank based principally on the type and amount of their deposits. During 2017,the first nine months of 2020, the Bank maintained balances at the Federal Reserve sufficient to meet reserve requirements, as well as significant excess reserves, on which interest is paid.

Additionally, the Bank maintains interest bearing balances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and noninterest bearing balances with domestic correspondent banks as compensation for services they provide to the Bank.

The majority of the AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2020, consisted of debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss.
As of September 30, 2020, total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. However, as of September 30, 2020, the Company determined that exist are generallypart of the unrealized loss positions in AFS corporate and municipal securities could be the result of changes in market interest ratescredit losses, and interest spread relationships since original purchases.therefore, an allowance for credit losses of $156 thousand was recorded. The weighted average duration of debt securities, which comprise 99.9% of total investment securities, is relatively short at 3.53.1 years. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’ssecurity's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. The Company does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2017 represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments available-for-sale at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 by contractual maturity are shown in the table below. Expected maturities for residential mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 4. Mortgage Banking Derivative

Derivatives

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Bank then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of mortgage backed securities (“MBS”).securities. Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Bank determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates, taking into consideration the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

21

Table of Contents
Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to any MBS to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Bank does not close the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to deliver MBS to the counterparty under the forward sales agreement. Should this be required, the Bank could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans or MBS and such costs could have an adverse effect on mortgage banking operations.

The fair value of the mortgage banking derivatives is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company suspended locking loans for sale on a mandatory basis as a result of elevated origination volumes and market dislocations associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic. In connection with this shift in pipeline strategy from mandatory to best efforts, beginning in the third quarter of 2020, the Company adjusted its accounting treatment of loans sold on a best efforts basis which accelerated revenue recognition associated with the pipeline to when the loans are committed, in accordance with GAAP. The change reflects the timely recognition of non-interest income associated with the gains and fees attributable to the best efforts sale and aligns the accounting treatment of best efforts with the accounting treatment of loans sold on a mandatory basis. Under the adjustment to the accounting for best efforts implemented in the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an additional $1.6 million in noninterest income associated with the residential mortgage operations. Had the company utilized the adjusted accounting method for best efforts in prior quarters, non-interest income would have been higher by an immaterial amount.
At September 30, 20172020, the Bank had mortgage banking derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $59.6 million related to its forward contracts as compared to $81.7 million attotaling $6.0 million. At September 30, 2016. 2019 the Bank had mortgage banking derivative financial instruments of $134.3 million notional value. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivative instruments at September 30, 2017December 31, 2019 was $63$280 thousand included in other assets and $36$66 thousand included in other liabilities as compared to $217 thousand included in other assets and $222 thousand included in other liabilities at September 30, 2016.

Loan Origination / Risk Management

The Company’s goal is to mitigate risks in the event of unforeseen threats to the loan portfolio as a result of economic downturn or other negative influences. Plans for mitigating inherent risks in managing loan assets include: carefully enforcing loan policies and procedures, evaluating each borrower’s business plan during the underwriting process and throughout the loan term, identifying and monitoring primary and alternative sources for loan repayment, and obtaining collateral to mitigate economic loss in the event of liquidation. Specific loan reserves are established based upon credit and/or collateral risks on an individual loan basis. A risk rating system is employed to proactively estimate loss exposure and provide a measuring system for setting general and specific reserve allocations.

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio is heavily weighted toward commercial real estate, both owner occupied and income producing real estate. At September 30, 2017,2020, owner occupied - commercial real estate and construction - C&I (owner occupied) represent approximately 13%14% of the loan portfolio. At September 30, 2017,2020, non-owner occupied commercial real estate and real estate construction represented approximately 63%58% of the loan portfolio. The combined owner occupied and commercial real estate and construction loans represent approximately 76%73% of the loan portfolio. Real estate also serves as collateral for loans made for other purposes, resulting in 79% of all loans being secured by real estate. These loans are underwritten to mitigate lending risks typical of this type of loan such as declines in real estate values, changes in borrower cash flow and general economic conditions. The Bank typically requires a maximum loan to value of 80% and minimum cash flow debt service coverage of 1.15 to 1.0. Personal guarantees may be required, but may be limited. In making real estate commercial mortgage loans, the Bank generally requires that interest rates adjust not less frequently than five years.

The Company is also an active traditional commercial lender providing loans for a variety of purposes, including working capital, equipment and account receivable financing. This loan category represents approximately 20%19% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 20172020 and was generally variable or adjustable rate. Commercial loans meet reasonable underwriting standards, including appropriate collateral and cash flow necessary to support debt service. Personal guarantees are generally required, but may be limited. SBA loans represent approximately 2%1% of the commercial loan category of loans.category. In originating SBA loans, the Company assumes the risk of non-payment on the unguaranteed portion of the credit.credit as well as potential recourse to the SBA guarantees. The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of the loan generating noninterest income from the gains on sale, as well as servicing income on the portion participated. SBA loans are subject to the same cash flow analyses as other commercial loans. SBA loans are subject to a maximum loan size established by the SBA.

SBA as well as internal loan size guidelines.

Approximately 2%6% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 20172020 consists of PPP loans to eligible customers. PPP loans are expected to primarily be repaid via forgiveness provisions (under the CARES Act) from the SBA. These loans are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the SBA and ultimately by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; as a result, they were approved utilizing different underwriting standards than the Bank's other commercial loans. PPP loans are included in the CECL model but do not carry an allowance for credit loss due to the aforementioned government guarantees.

Approximately 1% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2020 consists of home equity loans and lines of credit and other consumer loans. These credits, while making up a small portion of the loan portfolio, demand the same emphasis on underwriting and credit evaluation as other types of loans advanced by the Bank.

Approximately 2%1% of the loan portfolio consists of residential mortgage loans. The repricing duration of these loans was 15 months.17 months at September 30, 2020. These credits represent first liens on residential property loans originated by the Bank. While the Bank’s general practice is to originate and sell (servicing released) loans made by its Residential Lending department, from time to time certain loan characteristics do not meet the requirements of third party investors and these loans are instead maintained in the Bank’s portfolio until they are resold to another investor at a later date or mature.

Loans are secured primarily by duly recorded first deeds of trust or mortgages. In some cases, the Bank may accept a recorded junior trust position. In general, borrowers will have a proven ability to build, lease, manage and/or sell a commercial or residential project and demonstrate satisfactory financial condition. Additionally, an equity contribution toward the project is customarily required.

Construction loans require that the financial condition and experience of the general contractor and major subcontractors be satisfactory to the Bank. Guaranteed, fixed price contracts are required whenever appropriate, along with payment and performance bonds or completion bonds for larger scale projects.

Loans intended for residential land acquisition, lot development and construction are made on the premise that the land: 1) is or will be developed for building sites for residential structures, and;and 2) will ultimately be utilized for construction or improvement of residential zoned real properties, including the creation of housing. Residential development and construction loans will finance projects such as single family subdivisions, planned unit developments, townhouses, and condominiums.

Residential land acquisition, development and construction loans generally are underwritten with a maximum term of 36 months, including extensions approved at origination.

Commercial land acquisition and construction loans are secured by real property where loan funds will be used to acquire land and to construct or improve appropriately zoned real property for the creation of income producing or owner user commercial properties. Borrowers are generally required to put equity into each project at levels determined by the appropriate Loan Committee.

Commercial land acquisition and construction loans generally are underwritten with a maximum term of 24 months.

Substantially all construction draw requests must be presented in writing on American Institute of Architects documents and certified either by the contractor, the borrower and/or the borrower’s architect. Each draw request shall also include the borrower’s soft cost breakdown certified by the borrower or their Chief Financial Officer. Prior to an advance, the Bank or its contractor inspects the project to determine that the work has been completed, to justify the draw requisition.

Commercial permanent loans are generally secured by improved real property which is generating income in the normal course of operation. Debt service coverage, assuming stabilized occupancy, must be satisfactory to support a permanent loan. The debt service coverage ratio is ordinarily at least 1.15 to 1.0. As part of the underwriting process, debt service coverage ratios are stress tested assuming a 200 basis point increase in interest rates from their current levels.

Table of Contents
Commercial permanent loans generally are underwritten with a term not greater than 10 years or the remaining useful life of the property, whichever is lower. The preferred term is between 5 to 7 years, with amortization to a maximum of 25 years.


The Company’s loan portfolio includes ADCacquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) real estate loans including both investment and owner occupied projects. ADC loans amounted to $1.44$1.4 billion at September 30, 2017.2020. A portion of the ADC portfolio, both speculative and non-speculative, includes loan funded interest reserves at origination. ADC loans are serviced by loan fundedthat provide for the use of interest reserves and represent approximately 79%58% of the outstanding ADC loan portfolio at September 30, 2017.2020. The decision to establish a loan-funded interest reserve is made upon origination of the ADC loan and is based upon a number of factors considered during underwriting of the credit including: (1) the feasibility of the project; (2) the experience of the sponsor; (3) the creditworthiness of the borrower and guarantors; (4) the borrower equity contribution; and (5) the level of collateral protection. When appropriate, an interest reserve provides an effective means of addressing the cash flow characteristics of a properly underwritten ADC loan. The Company does not significantly utilize interest reserves in other loan products. The Company recognizes that one of the risks inherent in the use of interest reserves is the potential masking of underlying problems with the project and/or the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. In order to mitigate thisthese inherent risk,risks, the Company employs a series of reporting and monitoring mechanisms on all ADC loans, whether or not an interest reserve is provided, including: (1) construction and development timelines which are monitored on an ongoing basis which track the progress of a given project to the timeline projected at origination; (2) a construction loan administration department independent of the lending function; (3) third party independent construction loan inspection reports; (4) monthly interest reserve monitoring reports detailing the balance of the interest reserves approved at origination and the days of interest carry represented by the reserve balances as compared to the then current anticipated time to completion and/or sale of speculative projects; and (5) quarterly commercial real estate construction meetings among senior Company management, which includes monitoring of current and projected real estate market conditions. If a project has not performed as expected, it is not the customary practice of the Company to increase loan funded interest reserves.

From time to time the Company may make loans for its own portfolio or through its higher risk loan affiliate, ECV. Such loans, which are made to finance projects (which may also be financed at the Bank level), may have higher risk characteristics than loans made by the Bank, such as lower priority interests and/or higher loan to value ratios. The Company seeks an overall financial return on these transactions commensurate with the risks and structure of each individual loan. Certain transactions may bear current interest at a rate with a significant premium to normal market rates. Other loan transactions may carry a standard rate of current interest, but also earn additional interest based on a percentage of the profits of the underlying project or a fixed accrued rate of interest.


Allowance for Credit Losses

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016.2019. PPP loans are excluded from these tables since they do not carry an allowance for credit loss, as these loans are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the SBA, whose guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availabilityrestrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other categories.

During the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, which replaced the incurred loss methodology for determining our provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL model. Upon adoption, the allowance for credit losses was increased by $14.7 million, which included a $4.1 million increase to the allowance for unfunded commitments, with no impact to the consolidated Statement of Income, as the charges were recorded directly to Retained Earnings (net of taxes). We recorded a $6.6 million and $40.7 million provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, under CECL. We recorded $5.2 million and $14.6 million in net charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $6.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

At September 30, 2017, nonperforming loans acquired from Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation (“Fidelity”) and Virginia Heritage Bank (“Virginia Heritage”) have a carrying value of $476 thousand and $507 thousand, and an unpaid principal balance of $533 thousand and $1.5 million, respectively, and were evaluated separately in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30,“Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.” The various impaired loans were recorded at estimated fair value with any excess being charged-off or treated as a non-accretable discount. Subsequent downward adjustments to the valuation of impaired loans acquired will result in additional loan loss provisions and related allowance for credit losses.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company’s primary credit quality indicators are to use an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans into pass, watch, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

The following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass:
Pass:Loans in all classes that comprise the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.

Watch:Loan paying as agreed with generally acceptable asset quality; however the obligor’s performance has not met expectations. Balance sheet and/or income statement has shown deterioration to the point that the obligor could not sustain any further setbacks. Credit is expected to be strengthened through improved obligor performance and/or additional collateral within a reasonable period of time.

Special Mention:Loans in the classes that comprise the commercial portfolio segment that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. The special mention credit quality indicator is not used for classes of loans that comprise the consumer portfolio segment. Management believes that there is a moderate likelihood of some loss related to those loans that are considered special mention.

Classified:
Classified (a) Substandard - Loans inadequately protected by the current sound 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 company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual loans classified substandard.

Classified (b) Doubtful -

Classified (b) Doubtful Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Loans

As part of its comprehensive loan review process, the Loan Committee or Credit Review Committee carefully evaluate loans which are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received aspast-due 30 days or more. The Committees make a thorough assessment of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans mayconditions and circumstances surrounding each delinquent loan. The Bank’s loan policy requires that loans be placed on nonaccrual if they are ninety days past-due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Additionally, Credit Administration specifically analyzes the status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. Interest income is subsequently recognized onlydevelopment and construction projects, sales activities and utilization of interest reserves in order to the extent cash payments are received in excesscarefully and prudently assess potential increased levels of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Pre Adoption of CECL
Loans arewere considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it iswas probable the Company willwould be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan iswas impaired, a specific valuation allowance iswas allocated, if necessary, so that the loan iswas 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 iswas expected solely from the collateral. Interest paymentsThe Bank’s loan policy requires that loans be placed on impaired loansnonaccrual if they are typically applied to principalninety days past-due, unless collectabilitythey are well secured and in the process of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis.collection. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged offwere charged-off when deemed uncollectible.

Modifications

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when athe borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan. Commercial and industrial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to term loans. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often requested. Commercial mortgage and construction loans modifiedThe most common change in a TDR often involve reducingterms provided by the interest rate for the remaining termCompany is an extension of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. Construction loans modified in a TDR may also involve extending the interest-only payment period.term. As of September 30, 2017,2020, all performing TDRs were categorized as interest-only modifications.

modifications.

Loans modified in a TDR for the Company may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired consumer and commercial loans that have been modified in a TDR is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates.


In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact to our customers, we implemented a short-term modification program that complies with the CARES Act and ASC 310-40 to provide temporary payment relief to those borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 who were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. This program allows for a deferral of payments for 90 days, which we extended for an additional 90 days, for a maximum of 180 days on a cumulative and successive basis. The following table presents by class, the recorded investment of loans modified in a TDRdeferred payments along with interest accrued during the three months endeddeferral period are due and payable on the maturity date. As of September 30, 20172020, we granted ongoing temporary modifications on approximately 321 loans representing approximately $851 million (10.8% of total loans) in outstanding exposure. Additionally, none of the deferrals are reflected in the Company's asset quality measures (i.e. non-performing loans) due to the provision of the CARES Act that permits U.S. financial institutions to temporarily suspend the GAAP requirements to treat such short-term loan modifications as TDR. Similar provisions have also been confirmed by interagency guidance issued by the federal banking agencies and 2016.

Note 6. Leases
33

Table of Contents
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-2 “Leases” (Topic 842) and has adopted all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.
Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branch offices, ATM locations, and corporate office space. Substantially all of our leases are classified as operating leases, and as such, were previously not recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements were required to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $27.2 million of operating lease ROU assets and $30.5 million of operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $27.4 million of operating lease ROU assets and $30.0 million of operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elects not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases, leases with initial terms of twelve months or less, or equipment leases (deemed immaterial) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 842 on Leases, a $1.7 million one-time adjustment to rent expense was recorded during the third quarter as our internal review process identified a lease extension that was not originally recorded in the lease balances reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon implementation of the new lease accounting standard.

Our leases contain terms and conditions of options to extend or terminate the lease which are recognized as part of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when an economic benefit to exercise the option exists and there is a 90% probability that the Company will exercise the option. If these criteria are not met, the options are not included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities.
As of September 30, 2020, our leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or impose restrictions or covenants related to dividends or the Company’s ability to incur additional financial obligations. As of September 30, 2020, there were 0 leases that have been signed but did not yet commence as of the reporting date that create significant rights and obligations for the Company.

Note 7. Other Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Swap Derivatives

Risk

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to assist in its interest rate risk management. The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is to add stability to interest expense and to better manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company entered into forward startingutilizes interest rate swaps in April 2015 as part of its interest rate risk management strategy intended to mitigate the potential risk of rising interest rates on the Bank’s cost of funds. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges do not represent amounts exchanged by the counterparties, but rather, the notional amount is used to determine, along with other terms of the derivative, the amounts to be exchanged between the counterparties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from two counterpartiesone counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments beginning in April 2016.payments. The Company’s intent is to hedge its exposure to the variability in potential future interest rate conditions on existing financial instruments.


As of September 30, 2017, the Company had three forward starting designated cash flow hedge interest rate swap transactions outstanding that had an aggregate notional amount of $250 million associated with the Company’s variable rate deposits. The net unrealized gain before income tax on the swaps was $167 thousand at September 30, 2017 compared to a net unrealized loss before income tax of $692 thousand at December 31, 2016. The net unrealized gain at September 30, 2017 compared to the net unrealized loss at December 31, 2016 is due to the increase in current market expectation of short term interest rates for the remaining term of the designated cash flow hedge interest rate swap.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative isare initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had one designated cash flow hedge notional interest rate swap transaction outstanding amounting to $100 million associated with the Company’s variable rate deposits. The Company recognized an immaterial amount$829 thousand in earningsnoninterest income during March 2019 due to hedge ineffectiveness during both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate caps and swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
The Company entered into credit risk participation agreements ("RPAs") with institutional counterparties, under which the Company assumes its pro-rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower's performance related to interest rate derivative contracts. The fair value of RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers' credit spread to that exposure. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivatives, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities.
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the interest rate swapderivative counterparty. The Company minimizes this risk by entering into derivative contracts with only large, stable financial institutions, and the Company has not experienced, and does not expect, any losses from counterparty nonperformance on the interest rate swaps.derivatives. The Company monitors counterparty risk in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 815,"Derivatives and Hedging." In addition, the interest rate swapderivative agreements contain language outlining collateral-pledging requirements for each counterparty. Collateral must be posted when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits.

The designated cash flow hedge interest rate swapderivative agreements detail: 1) that collateral be posted when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits associated with the secured party’s exposure; 2) if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness (including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender), then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations; 3) if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalizedwell-capitalized institution then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of September 30, 2017,2020, the aggregate fair value of all designated cash flow hedgethe derivative contractscontract with credit risk contingent features (i.e., those containing collateral posting or termination provisions based on our capital status) were in a net asset position of $167 thousand (none of these contracts werethat was in a net liability position as of September 30, 2017).totaled $5.5 million.

Balance Sheet Offsetting: Our designated cash flow hedge interest rate swap derivatives are eligible for offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subject to master netting arrangements. Our derivative transactions with counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. The Company generally offsets such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains the 2016 Stock Plan (“2016 Plan”), the 2006 Stock Plan (“2006 Plan”) and the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2011 ESPP”).

In connection with the acquisition of Virginia Heritage, the Company assumed the Virginia Heritage 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Virginia Heritage Plans”).

No additional options may be granted under the 2006 Plan or the Virginia Heritage Plans.

follows:

The Company adopted the 2016 Plan upon approval by the shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting held on May 12, 2016. The 2016 Plan provides directors and selected employees of the Bank, the Company and their affiliates with the opportunity to acquire shares of stock, through awards of options, time vested restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under the 2016 Plan, 1,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance.

For awards that are service based, compensation expense is being recognized over the service (vesting) period based on fair value, which for stock option grants is computed using the Black-Scholes model. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2006 plan, fair value is based on the average of the high and low stock price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2016 plan, fair value is based on the Company’s closing price on the date of grant. For awards that are performance-based, compensation expense is recorded based on the probability of achievement of the goals underlying the grant.

In February 2017, the Company awarded 91,097 shares of time vested restricted stock to senior officers, directors, and certain employees. The shares vest in three substantially equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

In February 2017, the Company awarded senior officers a targeted number of 36,523 performance vested restricted stock units (PRSUs). The vesting of PRSUs is 100% after three years with payouts based on threshold, target or maximum average performance targets over the three year period relative to a peer index. There are three performance metrics: 1) average annual earnings per share growth; 2) average annual total shareholder return; and 3) average annual return on average assets. Each metric is measured against companies in the KBW Regional Banking Index.

The Company has unvested restricted stock awards and PRSU grants of 227,324 shares at September 30, 2017. Unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards totaled $9.3 million at September 30, 2017. At such date, the weighted-average period over which this unrecognized expense was expected to be recognized was 2.13 years. The following tables summarize the unvested restricted stock awards at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions as shown in the table below used for grants during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. There were no grants of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The total intrinsic value of outstanding stock options was $8.8 million at September 30, 2017. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $3.5 million and $855 thousand, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested was $50 thousand and $45 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options totaled $90 thousand at September 30, 2017. At such date, the weighted-average period over which this unrecognized expense was expected to be recognized was 2.09 years.

Approved by shareholders in May 2011, the 2011 ESPP reserved 550,000 shares of common stock (as adjusted for stock dividends) for issuance to employees. Whole shares are sold to participants in the plan at 85% of the lower of the stock price at the beginning or end of each quarterly offering period. The 2011 ESPP is available to all eligible employees who have completed at least one year of continuous employment, work at least 20 hours per week and at least five months a year. Participants may contribute a minimum of $10 per pay period to a maximum of $6,250 per offering period or $25,000 annually (not to exceed more than 10% of compensation per pay period). At September 30, 2017, the 2011 ESPP had 406,081 shares remaining for issuance.

Included in salaries and employee benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company recognized $4.2 million and $5.2 million in stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards.

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC Topic 820,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1Quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government and agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, derivative instruments, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.

Level 3Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained interests from securitizations, and certain collateralized debt obligations.

Level 1         Quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government and agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2         Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, derivative instruments, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.
Level 3    Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained interests from securitizations, and certain collateralized debt obligations.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

securities available-for-sale:Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency debt securities, mortgage backed securities issued by Government Sponsored Entities (“GSE’s”) and municipal bonds. Securities classified as Level 3 include securities in less liquid markets, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value.


Loans held for sale: The Company has elected to carry loans held for sale at fair value. This election reduces certain timing differences in the Consolidated Statement of OperationsIncome and better aligns with the management of the portfolio from a business perspective. Fair value is derived from secondary market quotations for similar instruments. Gains and losses on sales of residential mortgage loans are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Income. Gains and losses on sales of multifamily FHA securities are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Income. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to fair value adjustments as Level 2 valuation.

Interest rate swap derivatives:These derivative instruments consist of forward starting interest rate swap agreements, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges.hedges under ASC 815. The Company’s derivative position is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is valued using models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that use actively quoted or observable market input values from external market data providers and/or non-binding broker-dealer quotations. The fair value of the derivatives is determined using discounted cash flow models. These models’ key assumptions include the contractual terms of the respective contract along with significant observable inputs, including interest rates, yield curves, nonperformance risk and volatility. Derivative contracts are executed with a Credit Support Annex, which is a bilateral agreement that requires collateral postings when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits. These agreements protect the interests of the Company and its counterparties should either party suffer a credit rating deterioration.

Credit risk participation agreements: The Company enters into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) with institutional counterparties, under which the Company assumes its pro-rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower’s performance related to interest rate derivative contracts. The fair value of RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers’ credit spread to that exposure. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivatives, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities. Accordingly, RPAs fall within Level 2.

Interest rate caps: The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement ("cap") with an institutional counterparty, under which the Company will receive cash if and when market rates exceed the cap's strike rate. The fair value of the cap is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivative, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities. Accordingly, the cap falls within Level 2.
Mortgage banking derivatives:derivatives for loans settled on a mandatory basis:The Company reliesrelied on a third-party pricing service to value its mortgage banking derivative financial assets and liabilities, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation. The external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms, and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups. The Company also relies on an external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing.


Mortgage banking derivative for loans settled best efforts basis: The significant unobservable input (Level 3) used in the fair value measurement of the Company's interest rate lock commitments is the pull through ratio, which represents the percentage of loans currently in a lock position which management estimates will ultimately close. An increase in the pull through ratio (i.e. higher percentage of loans are estimated to close) will increase the gain or loss. The pull through ratio is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in. The pull through rate is computed by the Company's secondary marketing consultant using historical data and the ratio is periodically reviewed by the Company for reasonableness.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis


The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

Impaired loans: The Company considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the note agreement, including both principal and interest. Management has determined that nonaccrual loans and loans that have had their terms restructured in a troubled debt restructuring meet this impaired loan definition. For individually evaluated impaired loans, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation.


Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below:

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis; however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310,“Receivables.” The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At September 30, 2017,2020, substantially all of the totally impairedCompany’s individually evaluated loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, impairedindividually evaluated loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.


Pre Adoption of CECL: The Company did not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis; however, from time to time, a loan was considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss was established. The Company considered a loan impaired when it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the note agreement, including both principal and interest. Management had determined that nonaccrual loans and loans that had their terms restructured in a TDR met this impaired loan definition. Once a loan was identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” The fair value of impaired loans was estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represented loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceeded the recorded investment in such loans.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by quoted market price, if one exists.

49

Table of Contents
Quoted market prices, if available, are shown as estimates of fair value. Because no quoted market prices exist for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, the fair value of such instruments has been derived based on management’s assumptions with respect to future economic conditions, the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Accordingly, the net realizable value could be materially different from the estimates presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of individual financial instrument values and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value

50

Table of each category of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate value:

Cash due from banks and federal funds sold: For cash and due from banks and federal funds sold the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Interest bearing deposits with other banks: For interest bearing deposits with other banks the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment securities: For these instruments, fair values are based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.

Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amounts approximate the fair values at the reporting date.

Loans held for sale: As the Company has elected the fair value option, the fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is the carrying value and is based on commitments outstanding from investors as well as what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics for residential mortgage loans held for sale since such loans are typically committed to be sold (servicing released) at a profit. The fair value of FHA loans held for sale is the carrying value and is based on commitments outstanding from investors as well as what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics for FHA loans held for sale since such loans are typically committed to be securitized and sold (servicing retained) at a profit.

Loans: For variable rate loans that re-price on a scheduled basis, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of the remaining loans are estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the current interest rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term.

Bank owned life insurance: The fair value of bank owned life insurance is the current cash surrender value, which is the carrying value.

Annuity investment:The fair value of the annuity investments is the carrying amount at the reporting date.

Mortgage banking derivatives:The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with prospective residential mortgage borrowers. These commitments are carried at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loans which are based on market data. These commitments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures, as the valuations are based on market unobservable inputs. The Company hedges the risk of the overall change in the fair value of loan commitments to borrowers by selling forward contracts on securities of GSEs. These forward settling contracts are classified as Level 3, as valuations are based on market unobservable inputs. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

Contents

Interest rate swap derivatives:These derivative instruments consist of forward starting interest rate swap agreements, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company’s derivative position is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is valued using models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that use actively quoted or observable market input values from external market data providers and/or non-binding broker-dealer quotations. The fair value of the derivatives is determined using discounted cash flow models. These models’ key assumptions include the contractual terms of the respective contract along with significant observable inputs, including interest rates, yield curves, nonperformance risk and volatility. Derivative contracts are executed with a Credit Support Annex, which is a bilateral agreement that requires collateral postings when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits. These agreements protect the interests of the Company and its counterparties should either party suffer a credit rating deterioration.

Noninterest bearing deposits: The fair value of these deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, since generally accepted accounting standards do not permit an assumption of core deposit value.

Interest bearing deposits:The fair value of interest bearing transaction, savings, and money market deposits with no defined maturity is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, since generally accepted accounting standards do not permit an assumption of core deposit value.

Certificates of deposit: The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar deposits with remaining maturities would be accepted.

Customer repurchase agreements: The carrying amount approximate the fair values at the reporting date.

Borrowings: The carrying amount for variable rate borrowings approximate the fair values at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed rate FHLB advances and the subordinated notes are estimated by computing the discounted value of contractual cash flows payable at current interest rates for obligations with similar remaining terms. The fair value of variable rate FHLB advances is estimated to be carrying value since these liabilities are based on a spread to a current pricing index.

Off-balance sheet items: Management has reviewed the unfunded portion of commitments to extend credit, as well as standby and other letters of credit, and has determined that the fair value of such instruments is equal to the fee, if any, collected and unamortized for the commitment made.

Note 13. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Bank has entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement and Death Benefit Agreements (the “SERP Agreements”) with certain

51

Table of the Bank’s executive officers other than Mr. Paul, which upon the executive’s retirement, will provide for a stated monthly payment for such executive’s lifetime subject to certain death benefits described below. The retirement benefit is computed as a percentage of each executive’s projected average base salary over the five years preceding retirement, assuming retirement at age 67. The SERP Agreements provide that (a) the benefits vest ratably over six years of service to the Bank, with the executive receiving credit for years of service prior to entering into the SERP Agreement, (b) death, disability and change-in-control shall result in immediate vesting, and (c) the monthly amount will be reduced if retirement occurs earlier than age 67 for any reason other than death, disability or change-in-control. The SERP Agreements further provide for a death benefit in the event the retired executive dies prior to receiving 180 monthly installments, paid either in a lump sum payment or continued monthly installment payments, such that the executive’s beneficiary has received payment(s) sufficient to equate to a cumulative 180 monthly installments.

The SERP Agreements are unfunded arrangements maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits and comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Bank financed the retirement benefits by purchasing fixed annuity contracts with four insurance in 2013 carriers totaling $11.4 million that have been designed to provide a future source of funds for the lifetime retirement benefits of the SERP Agreements. The primary impetus for utilizing fixed annuities is a substantial savings in compensation expenses for the Bank as opposed to a traditional SERP Agreement. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the annuity contracts accrued $54 thousand of income, which was included in other noninterest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The cash surrender value of the annuity contracts was $11.6 million at September 30, 2017 and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded benefit expense accruals of $103 thousand and $308 thousand, for this post retirement benefit.

Upon death of a named executive, the annuity contract related to such executive terminates. The Bank has purchased additional bank owned life insurance contracts, which would effectively finance payments (up to a 15 year certain amount) to the executives’ named beneficiaries.

GENERAL

The Company is a growth oriented,growth-oriented, one-bank holding company headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, which is currently celebrating nineteentwenty-two years of successful operations. The Company provides general commercial and consumer banking services through the Bank,EagleBank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned banking subsidiary, a Maryland chartered bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company was organized in October 1997, to be the holding company for the Bank. The Bank was organized in 1998 as an independent, community oriented, full service banking alternative to the super regional financial institutions, which dominate the Company’s primary market area. The Company’s philosophy is to provide superior, personalized service to its customers. The Company focuses on relationship banking, providing each customer with a number of services and becoming familiar with and addressing customer needs in a proactive, personalized fashion. The Bank currently has a total of twenty-onetwenty branch offices, including nine in Northern Virginia, sevensix in Montgomery County,Suburban Maryland, and five in Washington, D.C.

The Bank offers a broad range of commercial banking services to its business and professional clients, as well as full service consumer banking services to individuals living and/or working primarily in the Bank’s market area. The Bank emphasizes providing commercial banking services to sole proprietors, small and medium sizedmedium-sized businesses, non-profit organizations and associations, and investors living and working in and near the primary service area. These services include the usual deposit functions of commercial banks, including business and personal checking accounts, “NOW” accounts and money market and savings accounts, business, construction, and commercial loans, residential mortgages and consumer loans, and cash management services. The Bank is also active in the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans and the origination of SBASmall Business Administration ("SBA”) loans. The residential mortgage loans are originated for sale to third-party investors, generally large mortgage and banking companies, under best efforts and or mandatory delivery commitments with the investors to purchase the loans subject to compliance with pre-established criteria. The decision whether to sell residential mortgage loans on a mandatory or best efforts lock basis is a function of multiple factors, including but not limited to overall market volumes of mortgage loan originations, forecasted “pull -through” rates of origination, loan closing operational considerations, pricing differentials between the two methods, and availability and pricing of various interest rate hedging strategies associated with the mortgage origination pipeline. The Company continually monitors these factors to maximize profitability and minimize operational and interest rate risks.

The Bank generally sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans in a transaction apart from the loan origination generating noninterest income from the gains on sale, as well as servicing income on the portion participated. The Company originates a small number of FHAmultifamily Federal Housing Administration ("FHA”) loans through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Multifamily Accelerated Program (“MAP”). The Company securitizes these loans through the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) MBS I program and sells the resulting securities in the open market to authorized dealers in the normal course of business, and generally retainsperiodically bundles and sells the servicing rights.

Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. Governmental responses to the pandemic have included orders closing nonessential businesses, directing individuals to restrict their movements, observe social distancing, and shelter in place. These actions, together with responses to the pandemic by businesses and individuals, have resulted in rapid decreases in commercial and consumer activity, temporary closures of many businesses that have led to a loss of revenues and a rapid increase in unemployment, material decreases in oil and gas prices and in business valuations, disrupted global supply chains, market downturns and volatility, changes in consumer behavior related to COVID-19 pandemic fears, related emergency response legislation and an expectation that Federal Reserve policy will maintain a low interest rate environment for the acquisition, development and/foreseeable future.
Our business and consumer customers are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress. In order to protect the health of our customers and employees, and to comply with applicable government directives, we have modified our business practices, including directing employees to work from home insofar as is possible, implementing our business continuity plans and protocols to the extent necessary, and our branches have modified hours and advanced safety measures. We have established general guidelines for returning that include having employees maintain safe distances, staggered work schedules to limit the number of employees in a single location, more frequent cleaning of our facilities and other practices encouraging a safe working environment during this challenging time, including required COVID-19 training programs

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. It contains substantial tax and spending provisions intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act created the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP"), a program designed to aid small- and medium-sized businesses through federally guaranteed loans distributed through banks. These loans are intended to guarantee payroll and other costs to help those businesses remain viable and allow their workers to pay their bills.
As an SBA preferred lender, the Bank is participating in the PPP program, and at September 30, 2020, had an outstanding balance of PPP loans of $456.1 million to just over 1,400 businesses. The statutory interest rate on these loans is 1.00% and the average yield, which includes fee amortization, was 2.41% for the third quarter of 2020.
There have also been various governmental actions taken or constructionproposed to provide forms of real estate projects. ECV lending involves higherrelief, such as streamlining the application process for forgiveness of all PPP loans under $50,000, limiting debt collections efforts, including foreclosures, and encouraging or requiring extensions, modifications or forbearance, with respect to certain loans and fees. Governmental actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have not always been coordinated or consistent across jurisdictions but, in general, have been expanding in scope and intensity. The efficacy and ultimate effect of these actions is not known.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also implemented a short-term loan modification program to provide temporary payment relief to certain borrowers who meet the program's qualifications. Initial modifications under the program have predominantly been for 90 days, with a second 90 day modification if warranted. The deferred payments along with interest accrued during the deferral period are due and payable on the existing maturity date of the existing loan. As of September 30, 2020, we had ongoing temporary modifications on approximately 321 loans representing $851 million (approximately 10.8% of total loans) in outstanding balances. Overall, as of September 30, 2020, the Bank's COVID-19 modification program has granted temporary modifications on approximately 740 loans representing approximately $1.63 billion in outstanding balances, including 419 temporary modifications representing $787 million that have or are expected to return to pre-modification terms.

Some of these deferrals may have met the criteria for treatment under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"). Additionally, none of the deferrals are reflected in the Company's asset quality measures (i.e. non-performing loans) due to the provision of the CARES Act that permits U.S. financial institutions to temporarily suspend the U.S. GAAP requirements to treat such short-term loan modifications as TDR. Similar provisions have also been confirmed by interagency guidance issued by the federal banking agencies and confirmed with staff members of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Significant uncertainties as to future economic conditions exist, and we have taken deliberate actions in response, including maintaining record levels of risk, togetheron and off-balance sheet liquidity and have maintained regulatory capital ratios significantly above the well capitalized. Furthermore, we suspended our share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2020. Accordingly, we made no share repurchases in the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s Board of Directors approved lifting the suspension of the Company’s share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2020; however, no share repurchases were made in the third quarter of 2020. The Board of Directors has authorized management through the current share repurchase program to continue to evaluate opportunities for share repurchases. As a result, management may enter the markets from time to time as determined appropriate.
Additionally, the economic pressures, coupled with commensuratethe implementation of the expected returns.

loss methodology for determining our provision for credit losses as required by the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") standard described below, have contributed to an increased provision for credit losses for the first nine months of 2020. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 closely, as well as any effects that may result from the CARES Act and other legislative and regulatory developments related to COVID-19; however, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations and financial results during the remainder of 2020 is highly uncertain.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the Consolidated Financial Statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility.

AllowanceProvision for Credit Losses

The and Provision for Unfunded Commitments

A consequence of lending activities is that we may incur credit losses, so we record an allowance for credit losses is("ACL") with respect to loan receivables and a reserve for unfunded commitments (“RUC”) as estimates of those losses. The amount of such losses will vary depending upon the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions such as changes in interest rates, the financial performance of borrowers and unemployment rates.
As a result of our January 1, 2020, adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and its related amendments, our methodology for estimating these credit losses changed significantly from December 31, 2019. The new standard replaced the “incurred loss” approach with an “current expected credit loss” approach known as CECL. The CECL approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). It removes the incurred loss approach��s threshold that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. delayed the recognition of a credit loss until it was “probable” a loss event was “incurred.”

Table of Contents
The allowanceestimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on two principles of accounting: (a) ASC Topic 450,“Contingencies,” which requiresrelevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are estimable and (b) ASC Topic 310,“Receivables,” which requires that losses be accrued when it is probable thataffect the Company will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the contractual termscollectability of the loan.reported amounts. Historical loss experience is generally the starting point for estimating expected credit losses. We then consider whether the historical loss experience should be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics or current conditions at the reporting date that did not exist over the period from which historical experience was used. Finally, we consider forecasts about future economic conditions that are reasonable and supportable. The loss, if any, can beRUC represents the expected credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The RUC is determined by estimating future draws and applying the difference between the loan balance and the value of collateral, the present value of expected future cash flows, or values observable in the secondary markets.

Three components comprise our allowance for credit losses: a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific or environmental factors allowance. Each component is determined basedloss rates on estimates that can and do change when actual events occur.

The specific allowance allocates a reserve to identified impaired loans. Impaired loans are assigned specific reserves based on an impairment analysis. Under ASC Topic 310,“Receivables,” a loan for which reserves are individually allocated may show deficiencies in the borrower’s overall financial condition, payment record, support available from financial guarantors and for the fair market value of collateral. When a loan is identified as impaired, a specific reserve is established based on the Company’s assessment of the loss that may be associated with the individual loan.

The formula allowance is used to estimate the loss on internally risk rated loans, exclusive of those identified as requiring specific reserves. The portfolio of unimpaired loans is stratified by loan type and risk assessment. Allowance factors relate to the type of loan and level of the internal risk rating, with loans exhibiting higher risk and loss experience receiving a higher allowance factor.

The environmental allowance is also used to estimate the loss associated with pools of non-classified loans. These non-classified loans are also stratified by loan type, and environmental allowance factors are assigned by management based upon a number of conditions, including delinquencies, loss history, changes in lending policy and procedures, changes in business and economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, management expertise, concentrations within the portfolio, quality of internal and external loan review systems, competition, and legal and regulatory requirements.

The allowance captures losses inherent in the loan portfolio, which have not yet been recognized. Allowance factors and the overall size of the allowance may change from period to period based upon management’s assessment of the above described factors, the relative weights given to each factor, and portfolio composition.

Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent in the determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses including in connection withand the valuationRUC. Our determination of collateral, a borrower’s prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors on the formula and environmental components of the allowance. The establishment of allowance factors involves a continuing evaluation, based on management’s ongoing assessment of the global factors discussed above and their impact on the portfolio. The allowance factors may change from period to period, resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision or allowance based upon the same volumefor credit losses requires significant reliance on estimates and classification of loans. Changes in allowance factors can have a direct impact onsignificant judgment as to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on loans, significant reliance on historical loss rates on homogenous portfolios, consideration of our quantitative and qualitative evaluation of economic factors, and the reliance on our reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company uses the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate expected credit losses for the commercial, income producing – commercial real estate, owner occupied – commercial real estate, real estate mortgage – residential, construction – commercial and residential, construction – C&I (owner occupied), home equity, and other consumer loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds are based on historical internal data. The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the provision,loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes and forecasts national unemployment as an initial loss driver, which is next adjusted to estimate regional unemployment rates. For all DCF models, management has determined that eight quarters represents a related after tax effectreasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over twelve months on net income. Errorsa straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from reputable and independent third parties to inform its loss driver forecasts over the forecast period. PPP loans are included in management’s perceptionthe model but do not carry a reserve, as these loans are fully guaranteed as to principal and assessmentinterest by the SBA, whose guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the global factors and their impact on theU.S. Government.
The allowance for credit losses attributable to each portfolio could resultsegment also includes an amount for inherent risks not reflected in the allowancehistorical analyses. Relevant factors include, but are not being adequatelimited to, coverconcentrations of credit risk, changes in underwriting standards, experience and depth of lending staff, and trends in delinquencies. While our methodology in establishing the reserve for credit losses attributes portions of the ACL and RUC to the commercial and consumer portfolio segments, the entire ACL and RUC is available to absorb credit losses inherent in the total loan portfolio and total amount of unfunded credit commitments, respectively.
Going forward, the impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the reserve for credit losses will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in additional provisions or charge-offs.

Goodwill
As of June 30, 2020, COVID-19 caused the occurrence of what management deemed to the discussion under the caption “Provision for Credit Losses” below.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assetsbe a triggering event that lack physical substance but can be distinguished fromcaused us to perform a goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets that have finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and subject to periodic impairment testing. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are amortized to expense using accelerated or straight-line methods over their respective estimated useful lives.


Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at the reporting unit level, which must be conducted at least annually. The Company performs impairment testing during the fourth quarter of each year or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired.

The Company performs a qualitative assessmenttest to determine whether it is more likely than notif an impairment charge was required for that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing updated qualitative factors, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it does not have to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.period. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill impairment test and determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit under the second step of the goodwill impairment test are judgmentalinvolves judgement and often involveinvolves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Similarly, estimates and assumptions are used in determining the fair value of other intangible assets. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flows, market comparisons and recent transactions. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions including projected future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the market rate of return, projected growth rates and determination and evaluation of appropriate market comparables. Based on the results of qualitative assessmentsthe assessment of all reporting units, the Company concluded that no goodwill impairment existed at December 31, 2016.as of June 30, 2020. However, future events could cause the Company to conclude that goodwill or other intangibles have become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment loss. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company’sCompany's financial condition and results of operations.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows Management did not consider a triggering event to have occurred during the provisionsthird quarter of ASC Topic 718,“Compensation,” which requires the expense recognition for the fair value2020. Annual impairment testing of share based compensation awards, suchintangibles and goodwill as stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance based shares. This standard allows management to establish modeling assumptions as to expected stock price volatility, option terms, forfeiture rates and dividend rates which directly impact estimated fair value. The accounting standard also allows for the use of alternative option pricing models which may impact fair value as determined. The Company’s practice is to utilize reasonable and supportable assumptions.

Derivatives

Interest rate swap derivatives designated as qualified cash flow hedges are tested for hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis. Assessments are made at the inception of the hedge and on a recurring basis to determine whether the derivative usedrequired by GAAP will be performed in the hedging transaction has been and is expected to continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flowsfourth quarter of the hedged item. A statistical regression analysis is performed to measure the effectiveness.

If, based on the assessment, a derivative is not expected to be a highly effective hedge or it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued as2020.

As the statistical regression analysis requires the use of estimates regarding the amount and timing of future cash flows which are sensitive to significant changes in future periods based on changes in market rates; we consider this a critical accounting estimate.

The increase in net2019, an 8% decrease.

Net income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 can be attributed primarily2020 relative to the same period in 2019 due to higher noninterest income (as discussed below). This was partially offset by an increase in totalprovisioning for credit losses and lower net interest income. In particular, the provision for credit losses increased to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2019, a 107% increase (see "Provision for Credit Losses" section below for further details on drivers of the change). Net income declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 relative to the same period in 2019 due substantially to a decline in the net interest margin, and increased provisioning for credit losses (see "Provision for Credit Losses" section below, and Note 1 and Note 5 for further detail on CECL), partially offset by higher noninterest income (as discussed in the "Noninterest Income" section below).
The most significant portion of revenue (i.e. net interest income plus noninterest income) of 11% over the same period in 2016. Netis net interest income, grew 11%which decreased to $79.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as2020 compared to $81.0 million for the same period in 2016 due to2019. The decrease resulted from a decline in the net interest margin substantially offset by growth in average earning asset growthassets of 10%17.9%.

The annualized ROACE for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 12.86%, as compared to 12.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 can be attributed primarily to an increase in total revenue (i.e. net interest income plus noninterest income) of 8% over the same period in 2016. Net interest income grew 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to average earning asset growth of 12%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported an annualized ROAA of 1.63% as compared to 1.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The annualized ROACE for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 12.71%, as compared to 12.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The higher ratios are due to increased earnings.

PPP loans represented $456.1 million of total loans at the same periodend of the third quarter 2020. Excluding PPP loans, the decrease in 2016.

loan balance is mostly attributable to the successful completion of construction projects and the related construction loan payoffs. In order to fund growth in average loans of 11% over the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, as well assuch loan increases and sustain significant liquidity, the Company has relied on both core deposit growth and wholesale deposits. The major component of the growth in core deposits has been growth in noninterestfunding from interest bearing accounts primarily as a result of effectively building newinflows from certain financial intermediary relationships. At September 30, 2020, total deposits were 13.2% higher than deposits at December 31, 2019, while average deposits were 16.8% higher for the first nine months of 2020 compared with the first nine months of 2019. This has led the Company to be able to sustain strong primary and enhanced client relationships.

For the first nine months ended September 30, 2017,of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2016,2019, average loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $596.1$593 million, an 11% increase. The increaseor 8.2%, due primarily to growth in average loansPPP, income producing commercial real estate, and commercial loans. Average investment securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily attributable to growth in income producing - commercial real estate, commercial2020 and industrial, and owner occupied – commercial real estate. Average investment securities for2019 both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to 8% of9% average earning assets.

The provision for credit losses was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The lower provisioning in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the third quarter of 2016, is primarily due to lower net charge-offs and to overall improved asset quality. Net charge-offs of $2 thousand in the third quarter of 2017 represented an annualized 0.00% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $2.0 million, or an annualized 0.14% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the third quarter of 2016. Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2017 were attributable primarily to net charge-offs in commercial and industrial loans ($114 thousand) offset by net recoveries in construction - commercial and residential ($106 thousand).

At September 30, 2017 the allowance for credit losses represented 1.03% of loans outstanding, as compared to 1.04% at both December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2017, as compared to September 30, 2016, is the result of continuing improvement in historical losses. The allowance for credit losses represented 379% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2017, as compared to 330% at December 31, 2016, and 255% at September 30, 2016.

Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $6.8 million from $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a 6% increase, due substantially to income of $780 thousand on the origination, securitization, servicing and sale of FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securities in the third quarter of 2017, offset by lower sales of residential mortgage loans and the resulting gains on the sale of these loans (gain of $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2017 versus $2.9 million for the same period in 2016). There was no revenue related to FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securities in the third quarter of 2016.

The provision for credit losses was $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The lower provisioning in the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the first nine months of 2016, is due to a combination of lower net charge-offs, lower loan growth, as net loans increased $406.3 million during the first nine months of 2017, as compared to an increase of $483.6 million during the same period in 2016, and to overall improved asset quality. Net charge-offs of $991 thousand in the first nine months of 2017 represented an annualized 0.02% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $5.0 million or an annualized 0.13% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the first nine months of 2016. Net charge-offs in the first nine months of 2017 were attributable primarily to commercial real estate loans.

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $19.9 million as compared to $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a 2% decrease. This was primarily due to fewer sales of SBA and residential mortgage loans resulting in a $785 thousand and $939 thousand decreased gain on the sale of these loans, respectively, and a $581 thousand decreased gain on sale of securities, offset by revenue associated with the origination, securitization, servicing, and sale of FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securities of $1.5 million and a $338 thousand increase in service charges on deposits. The portfolio sale of $37.0 million in residential mortgages out of the loan portfolio resulted in $168 thousand in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There was no income related to portfolio sales of residential mortgages out of the loan portfolio for the same period in 2016. Excluding investment securities net gains, total noninterest income was $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2016, a 1% increase.

The efficiency ratio, which measures the ratio of noninterest expense to total revenue, was 38.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 40.32% for the same period in 2016.

Cost increases for salaries and benefits were $1.3 million, due primarily to increased merit and incentive compensation, offset by a decrease in employee benefit costs due to the prior year acceleration of restricted stock awards. Marketing and advertising increased by $322 thousand due to costs associated with digital and print advertising and sponsorships. Data processing increased by $341 thousand due primarily to increased vendor fees associated with higher volumes and rates.

Refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for additional detail and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. The decline in these ratios was primarily due to the implementation of CECL and COVID-19 impacts on loan loss provisioning, as well as a lower net interest margin.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are composed primarily of loans and investment securities. The cost of funds represents interest expense on deposits, customer repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Noninterest bearing deposits and capital are other components representing funding sources (refer to discussion above under Results of Operations). Changes in the volume and mix of assets and funding sources, along with the changes in yields earned and rates paid, determine changes in net interest income.


For the three months ended September 30, 2017, netNet interest income increased 11% over the same period for 2016. Average loans increased by $523.7was $79.0 million and average deposits increased by $474.1 million. The net interest margin was 4.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 4.11%2020 and $81.0 million for the same period in 2016.2019, which reflects the impact of lower interest rates and higher cash balances given strong deposit flows, partially offset by improved funding mix and lower funding costs. The Company believes itslack of growth was primarily the result of a decline in the net interest margin, remains favorable as compared to its peer banking companies.

explained below, substantially offset by growth in average earning assets of 17.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, net interest income increased 9% overdecreased by $3.2 million from the same period for 2016. Average loans increased by $596.1 million andin prior year, resulting from net interest margin declines despite growth in average deposits increased by $456.0 million. earning assets of 17.0%.

The net interest margin was 4.14%3.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 3.72% for the same period in 2019, which reflects the impact of lower interest rates and higher cash balances given strong deposit flows, partially offset by improved funding mix and lower funding costs.

The net interest margin was 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 4.23%2020 and 3.88% for the same period in 2016. The Company believes its2019, owing in part to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sharply lower interest rate environment in 2020 as compared to 2019, together with a substantially higher on balance sheet liquidity position were the primary factors that negatively impacted the year to date net interest margin. Additionally, the net interest margin remains favorablefor both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was negatively impacted by approximately two basis points due to lower rates on PPP loans in 2020.

In the third quarter of 2020, as average U.S. Treasury rates in the two to five year range declined by approximately 7 basis points and the average yield curve remained fairly flat, the Company experienced 18 basis points of net interest margin compression (from 3.26% to 3.08%) as compared to its peer banking companies.

the second quarter of 2020. In addition, our cost of funds declined 7 basis points (from 0.65% to 0.58%), while the yield on earning assets declined by 25 basis points (from 3.91% to 3.66%). Average liquidity for the third quarter was $1.3 billion versus $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2020. The yield on our loan assets was negatively impacted by the low interest rate environment in the third quarter of 2020, including a 19 basis point decline in the average one-month LIBOR rate. A substantial portion of the variable rate loan portfolio has interest rate floors that cushioned the decline in loan yields.


Average earning asset yields decreased 134 basis points to 3.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 5.00% for the same period in 2019. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 111 basis points (to 0.91% from 2.02%) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Combining the change in the yield on earning assets and the costs of interest bearing liabilities, the net interest spread decreased by 23 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 2019 (2.75% as compared to 2.98%). While the net interest income decreased by 1% to $240.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $243.3 million over the same period in 2019. This was largely the result of net interest margin declines despite growth in average earning assets of 17.0%.

Included in the tables are a measurementmeasurements of interest rate spread and margin. Interest rate spread is the difference (expressed as a percentage) between the interest rate earned on earning assets less the interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. While the interest rate spread provides a quick comparison of earnings rates versus cost of funds, management believes that margin provides a better measurement of performance. The net interest margin (as compared to net interest spread) includes the effect of noninterest bearing sources in its calculation andcalculation. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense charged to current earnings to fund the allowanceACL on loans and the ACL on available for credit losses.sale investment securities. The amount of the allowance for credit losses on loans is based on many factors whichthat reflect management’s assessment of the risk in the loan portfolio. Those factors include historical losses based on internal and peer data, economic conditions and trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, volume and mix of the portfolio, performance of the portfolio, and internal loan processes of the Company and Bank.

The provision for unfunded commitments is presented separately on the Statement of Income. This provision considers the probability that unfunded commitments will fund.
Management has developed a comprehensive analytical process to monitor the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The process and guidelines were developed utilizing, among other factors, the guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies. agencies, relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, loan concentrations, credit quality, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or other relevant factors. Refer to additional detail regarding these forecasts in the “Discounted Cash Flow Method" section of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The results of this process, in combination with conclusions of the Bank’s outside consultants’ review of the risk inherent in the loan review consultant,portfolio, support management’s assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance at the balance sheet date. Please refer to the discussion under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” above and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for an overview of the methodology management employs on a quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the allowance and the provisions charged to expense. Also, refer to the table aton the next page 60, which reflects activity in the allowance for credit losses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017,2020, the allowance for credit losses increased $1.9 million, reflecting $1.9ACL on loans reflected $6.6 million in provision for credit losses attributable to the ACL for loans and $2 thousand$5.2 million in net charge-offs, during the period.which were attributable primarily to two large commercial real estate relationships totaling $4.9 million.

The lowerhigher provisioning in the third quarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the third quarter of 2016, is2019, was primarily due to lower net charge-offsthe implementation of the CECL accounting standard for credit loss allowances and to overall improved asset quality.the impact of COVID-19 on our actual and expected future credit losses.

As part of its comprehensive loan review process, the Bank’s Board of Directorsinternal loan and Loan Committee or Credit Review Committeecredit committees carefully evaluate loans whichthat are past-due 30 days or more. The Committees make a thorough assessment of the conditions and circumstances surrounding each delinquent loan. The Bank’s loan policy requires that loans be placed on nonaccrual if they are ninety days past-due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Additionally, Credit Administration specifically analyzes the status of development and construction projects, sales activities and utilization of interest reserves in order to carefully and prudently assess potential increased levels of risk requiring additional reserves.

The maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio, with an adequate allowance for possible credit losses, will continue to be a primary management objective for the Company.

Under the CECL standard and based on the January 1, 2020 effective date, the Company made an initial adjustment to the allowance for credit losses of $10.6 million along with $4.1 million to the reserve for unfunded commitments. This adjustment increased the ratio of the allowance to total loans to 1.12% at January 1, 2020 from 0.98% at December 31, 2019. Based on our ongoing risk analysis and modeling under the CECL allowance methodology, the Company further increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.23% as of March 31, 2020 and again to 1.36% as of June 30, 2020, which included the assessment of COVID-19 risks as of March 31, 2020 and as of June 30, 2020, respectively. Based on our ongoing risk analysis and modeling through September 30, 2020, under the CECL allowance methodology, the Company further increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.40% of total loans, which reflects COVID-19 risks assessments and an updated unemployment forecast for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

Nonperforming Assets

As shown in the table below, the Company’s level of nonperforming assets, which is comprised of loans delinquent 90 days or more, and nonaccrual loans, which includes the nonperforming portion of TDRs and OREO, totaled $18.0$63.0 million at September 30, 20172020 representing 0.24%0.62% of total assets, as compared to $20.6$50.2 million of nonperforming assets, or 0.30%0.56% of total assets, at December 31, 2016 and $27.5 million of nonperforming assets, or 0.41% of total assets, at2019.
At September 30, 2016. The2020, the Company had no accruing loans 90 days or more past due at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 or September 30, 2016.due. Management remains attentive to early signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial conditions and to taking the appropriate action to mitigate risk. Furthermore, the Company is diligent in placing loans on nonaccrual status and believes, based on its loan portfolio risk analysis, that its allowance for credit losses, at 1.03%1.40% of total loans at September 30, 2017,2020, is adequate to absorb potentialexpected credit losses within the loan portfolio at that date.

Included

The updated CECL standard allows for institutions to evaluate individual loans in the event that the asset does not share similar risk characteristics with its original segmentation. This can occur due to credit deterioration, increased collateral dependency or other factors leading to impairment. In particular, the Company individually evaluates loans on non-accrual and those identified as TDRs, though it may individually evaluate other loans or groups of loans as well if it determines they no longer share similar risk with their assigned segment. Reserves on individually assessed loans are determined by one of two methods: the fair value of collateral or the discounted cash flow. Fair value of collateral is used for loans determined to be collateral dependent, and the fair value represents the net realizable value of the collateral, adjusted for sales costs, commissions, senior liens, etc. Discounted cash flow is used on loans that are not collateral dependent where structural concessions have been made and continuing payments are expected. The continuing payments are discounted over the expected life at the loan’s original contract rate and include adjustments for risk of default.
Under the incurred loss methodology that the Company applied as of December 31, 2019 nonperforming assets areincluded loans that the Company considersconsidered to be impaired. Impaired loans arewere defined as those as to which we believebelieved it iswas probable that we willwould not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, as well as those loans whose terms havehad been modified in a TDR that havehad not shown a period of performance as required under applicable accounting standards.

Loans are considered to have been modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’sborrower's financial difficulties, the Company makes unilateral concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions could include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Alternatively, management, from time-to-time and in the ordinary course of business, implements renewals, modifications, extensions, and/or changes in terms of loans to borrowers who have the ability to repay on reasonable market-based terms, as circumstances may warrant. Such modifications are not considered to be TDRs, as the accommodation of a borrower’sborrower's request does not rise to the level of a concession if the modified transaction is at market rates and terms and/or the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty. For example: (1) adverse weather conditions may create a short term cash flow issue for an otherwise profitable retail business whichthat suggests a temporary interest onlyinterest-only period on an amortizing loan; (2) there may be delays in absorption on a real estate project whichthat reasonably suggests extension of the loan maturity at market terms; or (3) there may be maturing loans to borrowers with demonstrated repayment ability who are not in a position at the time of maturity to obtain alternate long-term financing. The most common change in terms provided by the Company is an extension of an interest only term. The determination of whether a restructured loan is a TDR requires consideration of all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the change in terms, and the exercise of prudent business judgment. The Company had thirteen TDR’s11 TDRs at September 30, 20172020 totaling approximately $13.2$19.4 million. Ninefour of these loans totaling approximately $12.3$8.9 million are performing under their modified terms. DuringFor the first nine months of 2017,2020, there were two performing TDR loans totaling $6.3 million that defaulted on their modified terms. For the first nine months of 2019, there was one defaultperforming TDR loan totaling $2.3 million that defaulted on a $237 thousand restructured loan which was charged off, as compared to the same period in 2016, which had one default on a $5.0 million restructured loan.its modified terms. A default is considered to have occurred once the TDR is past due 90 days or more or it has been placed on nonaccrual. There were two nonperforming TDRs totaling $588 thousand reclassified to nonperforming loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There was one nonperforming TDR totaling $5.0 million reclassified to nonperforming loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. There were two loans totaling $251 thousand modified in a TDR duringFor both the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 which had one loan totaling $801 thousand2020 and 2019, there were no loans modified in a TDR.

There is uncertainty regarding the region’s overall economic outlook given lack of clarity over how long COVID-19 will continue to impact our region. Management has been working with customers on payment deferrals to assist companies in managing through this crisis. These deferrals amounted to 321 notes and $851 million at September 30, 2020 (approximately 10.8% of total loans). Through September 30, 2020, we granted approximately 740 temporary modifications representing approximately $1.6 billion in outstanding balances, including 419 temporary modifications representing $787 million that have or are expected to return to pre-modification terms. We have also granted second deferrals totaling $665 million on 118 notes as of September 30, 2020. Some of these deferrals may have met the criteria for treatment under GAAP as TDRs. Additionally, none of the deferrals are reflected in the Company’s asset quality measures (i.e. non-performing loans) due to the provision of the CARES Act that permits U.S. financial institutions to temporarily suspend the GAAP requirements to treat such short-term loan modifications as TDRs. Similar provisions have also been confirmed by interagency guidance issued by the federal banking agencies and confirmed with staff members of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Other loan portfolio areas of concern and additional COVID-19 loan related matters are discussed below.


The following table details the deferrals discussed above as of September 30, 2020:

Included in nonperforming assets at September 30, 20172020 was $1.4$5.0 million of OREO consisting of onefour foreclosed property. properties. This compared to $1.5 million of OREO, consisting of three foreclosed properties at December 31, 2019. The increase was due to a foreclosure involving an ultra high-end residential property located in Washington, D.C. The Company is continuing to see softness in the market for ultra high-end residential properties. This is particularly true in light of COVID-19 and the related limitations in marketing residential properties.

The Company had three foreclosed properties with a net carrying value of $2.7 million at December 31, 2016 and three foreclosed properties with a net carrying value of $5.2$1.5 million at September 30, 2016.2019. OREO properties are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell. It is the Company’sCompany's policy to obtain third party appraisals prior to foreclosure, and to obtain updated third party appraisals on OREO properties generally not less frequently than annually. Generally, the Company would obtain updated appraisals or evaluations where it has reason to believe, based upon market indications (such as comparable sales, legitimate offers below carrying value, broker indications and similar factors), that the current appraisal does not accurately reflect current value. DuringThere was one sale of an OREO property during the first nine months of 2017, three foreclosed properties with a net carrying value of $2.5 million were sold for a net loss of $301 thousand. The decrease in OREO for2020 and no sales during the first nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the sale of two OREO properties.

(1)Nonaccrual loans reported in the table above include loans that migrated from performing troubled debt restructuring. There were two loans totaling $588 thousand that migrated from performing TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 where there was one loan totaling $5.0 million that migrated from performing TDR.

Significant variation in the amount of nonperforming loans may occur from period to period because the amount of nonperforming loans depends largely on the condition of a relatively small number of individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan portfolio.

At September 30, 2017,2020, there were $18.8$24.9 million of performing loans considered to be potential problem loans, defined as loans that are not included in the 90 daydays past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes management to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms, which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured loan categories. The $18.8 million in potentialPotential problem loans increased to $24.9 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $16.92020 from $20.0 million at December 31, 2016, and $8.7 million at September 30, 2016.2019. The Company has taken a conservative posture with respect to risk rating its loan portfolio. Based upon their status as potential problem loans, these loans receive heightened scrutiny and ongoing intensive risk management. Additionally, the Company’s loan loss allowance methodology incorporates increased reserve factors for certain loans considered potential problem loans as compared to the general portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income includes service charges on deposits, gain on sale of loans, gain on sale of investment securities, loan servicing income, income from BOLIbank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and other income.

Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 20172020 increased to $6.8$17.8 million from $6.4$6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,2019, a 6%183% increase. Gain on sale of loans for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $12.2 million from $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a 377% increase, due substantially to income of $780 thousand on the origination, securitization, servicing and sale of FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securities in the third quarter of 2017, offset by lower sales of residential mortgage loans and the resultinghigher gains on the sale of theseresidential mortgage loans (gain of $1.8($9.5 million) and an accounting adjustment, as further discussed below. Owing to the historically low interest rate environment and refinance activity, residential mortgage loan locked commitments were $593.0 million for the third quarter of 2017 versus $2.92020 as compared to $282.1 million for the same periodthird quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting these increases were service charges on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $1.1 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a 29% decrease, due to lesser insufficient funds fees.
The decision whether to sell residential mortgage loans on a mandatory or best efforts lock basis is a function of multiple factors, including but not limited to overall market volumes of mortgage loan originations, forecasted “pull -through” rates of origination, loan underwriting and closing operational considerations, pricing differentials between the two methods, and availability and pricing of various interest rate hedging strategies associated with the mortgage origination pipeline. The Company continually monitors these factors to maximize profitability and minimize operational and interest rate risks.

As a result of elevated origination volumes and market dislocations associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in 2016). Therethe second quarter of 2020, and continuing through the third quarter of 2020, the Company began to shift its pipeline strategy towards a best efforts lock basis, and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 our residential mortgage loans have been sold almost entirely on a best efforts basis.

Prior to the third quarter, revenue associated with residential real estate best efforts loans was no income relatedrecognized at closing. In connection with this shift in pipeline strategy from mandatory to FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securitiesbest efforts, beginning in the third quarter of 2016.2020, the Company, adjusted its accounting treatment of loans sold on a best efforts basis which accelerated revenue recognition associated with the pipeline to when the loans are committed, in order be accordance with GAAP. The portfoliochange reflects the timely recognition of non-interest income associated with the gains and fees attributable to the best efforts sale and aligns the accounting treatment of $37.0 millionbest efforts with the accounting treatment of loans sold on a mandatory basis. Under the adjustment to the accounting for best efforts implemented in residential mortgages out of the loan portfolio resulted in $168 thousand in revenue during the third quarter of 2017. There was no2020, the Company recognized an additional $1.6 million in noninterest income relatedassociated with the residential mortgage operations. Had the company utilized the adjusted accounting method for best efforts in prior quarters, non-interest income would have been higher by an immaterial amount in those quarters.

Servicing agreements relating to the Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities program require the Company to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. The Company will generally recover funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements under the FHA insurance and guarantee program. However, in the meantime,interim, the Company must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. The Company must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the foreclosure proceedings and the Company would not receive any future servicing income with respect to that loan. At September 30, 2017,2020, the Company had no funds advanced outstanding under FHA mortgage loan servicing agreements. To the extent the mortgage loans underlying the Company’s servicing portfolio experience delinquencies, the Company would be required to dedicate cash resources to comply with its obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional administrative costs related to increases in collection efforts.

The Company originates residential mortgage loans and, pending market conditions and other factors outlined above, may utilize either or both "mandatory delivery" and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to sell those loans, servicing released. Loans sold are subject to repurchase in circumstances where documentation is deficient, the underlying loan becomes delinquent, or there is fraud by the borrower. Loans sold are subject to penalty if the loan pays off within a specified period following loan funding and sale.

Accordingly, no shares were repurchased in the second and third quarters of 2020, although the Company’s Board of Directors approved lifting the suspension of the Company’s share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2020.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

The principal sources of funds for the Bank are core deposits, consisting of demand deposits, money market accounts, NOW accounts, and savings accounts. Additionally, the Bank obtainsaccounts and certificates of deposits from the local market areas surrounding the Bank’s offices.deposit. The deposit base includes transaction accounts, time and savings accounts and accounts, which customers use for cash management and which provide the Bank with a source of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities, as well as an attractive source of lower cost funds. To meet funding needs during periods of high loan demand and seasonal variations in core deposits, the Bank utilizes alternative funding sources such as secured borrowings from the FHLB,Federal Home Loan Banks (the “FHLB”), federal funds purchased lines of credit from correspondent banks and brokered deposits from regional and national brokerage firms and Promontory InterfinancialIntraFi Network, LLC (“Promontory”IntraFi”).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, noninterest bearing deposits increased $67.5$319.7 million as compared to December 31, 2016,2019, while interest bearing deposits increased by $130.4$634.7 million during the same period. Average total deposits for the first nine months of 2017 were $5.68 billion, as compared to $5.23 billion for the same period in 2016, a 9% increase.


From time to time, when appropriate in order to fund strong loan demand, the Bank accepts brokered time deposits, generally in denominations of less than $250 thousand, from a regional brokerage firm, and other national brokerage networks, including Promontory.IntraFi. Additionally, the Bank participates in the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”(the “CDARS”) and the Insured Cash Sweep product (“ICS”), which providesprovide for reciprocal (“two-way”) transactions among banks facilitated by PromontoryIntraFi for the purpose of maximizing FDIC insurance. These reciprocal CDARS and ICS funds are classified as brokered deposits, although the federal banking agencies have recognized that these reciprocal deposits have many characteristics of core deposits and therefore provide for separate identification of such deposits in the quarterly Call Report data. The Bank also is able to obtain one wayone-way CDARS deposits and participates in Promontory’sIntraFi’s Insured Network Deposit (“IND”). At September 30, 2017,2020, total deposits included $883.5 million$1.74 billion of brokered deposits (excluding the CDARS and ICS two-way), which represented 15%21% of total deposits. At December 31, 2016,2019, total brokered deposits (excluding the CDARS and ICS two-way) were $676.7 million,$1.80 billion, or 12%25% of total deposits. The CDARS and ICS two-way component represented $493.4$581.0 million, or 8%7%, of total deposits and $432.1$502.9 million, or 8%7%, of total deposits at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. These sources are believed by the Company to represent a reliable and cost efficient alternative funding source for the Bank. However, to the extent that the condition, regulatory position or reputation of the Company or Bank deteriorates, or to the extent that there are significant changes in market interest rates which the Company and Bank do not elect to match, we may experience an outflow of brokered deposits. In that event, we would be required to obtain alternate sources for funding.

As an enhancement to the basic noninterest bearing demand deposit account, the Company offers a sweep account, or “customer repurchase agreement,” allowing qualifying businesses to earn interest on short-term excess funds whichthat are not suited for either a certificate of deposit or a money market account. The balances in these accounts were $73.6$24.3 million at September 30, 20172020 compared to $68.9$31.0 million at December 31, 2016.2019. Customer repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not insured by the FDIC, but are collateralized by U.S. agency securities and/or U.S. agency backed mortgage backed securities. These accounts are particularly suitable to businesses with significant fluctuation in the levels of cash flows. Attorney and title company escrow accounts are examples of accounts which can benefit from this product, as are customers who may require collateral for deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits but do not qualify for other pledging arrangements. This program requires the Company to maintain a sufficient investment securities level to accommodate the fluctuations in balances which may occur in these accounts.


At September 30, 2020 the Company had $1.01 billion in time deposits. Time deposits decreased by $268.5 million from year end December 31, 2019. The Bank raises and renews time deposits through its branch network, for its public funds customers, and through brokered certificates of deposits ("CDs") to meet the needs of its community of savers and as part of its interest rate risk management and liquidity planning.

The Company had no outstanding balances under its federal funds lines of credit provided by correspondent banks (which are unsecured) at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016. The Bank had $200.0 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under its credit facility from the FHLB at2019. At September 30, 2017. There were no borrowings outstanding under its credit facility from2020, the Company had $300 million of FHLB advances borrowed as part of the overall asset liability strategy and to support loan growth, as compared to $250 million at December 31, 2016.2019. Outstanding FHLB advances are secured by collateral consisting of a blanket lien on qualifying loans in the Bank’s commercial mortgage, residential mortgage and home equity loan portfolios.

Long-term borrowings outstanding at September 30, 20172020 included the Company’s August 5, 2014 issuance of $70.0 million of subordinated notes, due September 1, 2024, and the Company’s July 26, 2016 issuance of $150.0 million of subordinated notes, due August 1, 2026. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $50 million of FHLB long-term advances borrowed as part of the overall asset liability strategy and to support loan growth.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s and Bank’s ability to meet loan demand and to satisfy depositor withdrawal requirements in an orderly manner. The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash balances due from correspondent banks, excess reserves at the Federal Reserve, loan repayments, federal funds sold and other short-term investments, maturities and sales of investment securities, income from operations and new core deposits into the Bank. The Bank’s investment portfolio of debt securities is held in an available-for-sale status which allows for flexibility, subject to holdings held as collateral for customer repurchase agreements and public funds, to generate cash from sales as needed to meet ongoing loan demand. These sources of liquidity are considered primary and are supplemented by the ability of the Company and Bank to borrow funds or issue brokered deposits, which are termed secondary sources of liquidity and which are substantial. The Company’s secondary sources of liquidity include
Additionally, the ability toBank can purchase up to $137.5$155 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis from its correspondents, against which there was no amount outstanding at September 30, 2017,2020, and access to borrowcan obtain unsecured funds under one-way CDARS and ICS brokered deposits in the amount of $1.11$1.47 billion, against which there was $176.9 millionnothing outstanding at September 30, 2017.2020. The Bank also has a commitment from PromontoryIntraFi to place up to $700.0 million$1 billion of brokered deposits from its IND program in amounts requested by the Bank, as compared to an actual balance of $291.1$719.5 million at September 30, 2017.2020. At September 30, 20172020, the Bank was also eligible to make advances from the FHLB up to $1.27$1.3 billion based on loans pledged as collateral atto the FHLB, of which there was $200.0$350 million outstanding at September 30, 2017.2020. The Bank may enter into repurchase agreements as well as obtain additional borrowing capabilities from the FHLB, provided adequate collateral exists to secure these lending relationships. The Bank also has a back-up borrowing facility through the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Federal Reserve Bank”). This facility, which amounts to approximately $485.0$621 million, is collateralized with specific loan assets identified to the Federal Reserve Bank. It is anticipated that, except for periodic testing, this facility would be utilized for contingency funding only.

The loss of deposits through disintermediation is one of the greater risks to liquidity. Disintermediation occurs most commonly when rates rise and depositors withdraw deposits seeking higher rates in alternative savings and investment sources than the Bank may offer. The Bank was founded under a philosophy of relationship banking and, therefore, believes that it has less of an exposure to disintermediation and resultant liquidity concerns than do many banks. The Bank makes competitive deposit interest rate comparisons weekly and feels its interest rate offerings are competitive.

There is, however, a risk that some deposits would be lost if rates were to increase and the Bank elected not to remain competitive with its deposit rates. Under those conditions, the Bank believes that it is well positioned to use other sources of funds such as FHLB borrowings, brokered deposits, repurchase agreements and correspondent banks’ lines of credit to offset a decline in deposits in the short run. Over the long-term, an adjustment in assets and change in business emphasis could compensate for a potential loss of deposits. The Bank also maintains a marketable investment portfolio to provide flexibility in the event of significant liquidity needs. The Asset Liability Committee of the Bank’sBank (the “ALCO”) and the full Board of Directors (“ALCO”) hasof the Bank have adopted policy guidelines which emphasize the importance of core deposits, adequate asset liquidity and a contingency funding plan.

Additionally, as noted above, if the condition, regulatory treatment or reputation of the Company or Bank deteriorates, we may experience an outflow of brokered deposits as a result of our inability to attract them or to accept or renew them. In that event, we would be required to obtain alternate sources for funding.


Our primary and secondary sources of liquidity remain strong. Average deposits increased 1.3% for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2020. We maintain a very liquid investment portfolio, including significant overnight liquidity. Average short term liquidity was $1.3 billion in third quarter of 2020, which is above EagleBank’s average needs. Secondary sources of liquidity amount to $2.7 billion.
At September 30, 2017,2020, under the Bank’s liquidity formula, it had $3.78$4.5 billion of primary and secondary liquidity sources. The amount is deemed adequate to meet current and projected funding needs.

(dollars in thousands)
Unfunded loan commitments$2,207,862 
Unfunded lines of credit99,180 
Letters of credit70,087 
Total$2,377,129 
Unfunded loan commitments are agreements whereby the Bank has made a commitment and the borrower has accepted the commitment to lend to a customer as long as there is satisfaction of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee before the commitment period is extended. In many instances, borrowers are required to meet performance milestones in order to draw on a commitment as is the case in construction loans, or to have a required level of collateral in order to draw on a commitment as is the case in asset based lending credit facilities. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Unfunded loan commitments of $66.1 million asAs of September 30, 2017 were2020, unfunded loan commitments included $410 million related to interest rate lock commitments on residential mortgage loans and were of a short-term nature.

Average unfunded loan commitments declined in the third quarter 2020 from the previous seven quarters, from an average of $2.3 billion to just below $2.0 billion primarily
attributable primarily to a decrease in unfunded commitments in accordance with CECL.

Unfunded lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The pipeline of loan commitments remains strong. The Bank did see additional draws on committed lines of credit during the second half of the first quarter which were largely paid back down in the second and third quarters.

Letters of credit include standby and commercial letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance by the Bank’s customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally become payable upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. Standby letters of credit are generally not drawn. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The contractual amount of these letters of credit represents the maximum potential future payments guaranteed by the Bank. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount it is required to pay to a third party under a letter of credit, and holds cash and or other collateral on those standby letters of credit for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Asset/Liability Management and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

A fundamental risk in banking is exposure to market risk, or interest rate risk, since a bank’s net income is largely dependent on net interest income. The Bank’s ALCO formulates and monitors the management of interest rate risk through policies and guidelines established by it and the full Board of Directors and through review of detailed reports discussed monthly.quarterly. In its consideration of risk limits, the ALCO considers the impact on earnings and capital, the level and direction of interest rates, liquidity, local economic conditions, outside threats and other factors. Banking is generally a business of managing the maturity and re-pricingrepricing mismatch inherent in its asset and liability cash flows and to provide net interest income growth consistent with the Company’s profit objectives.

During the quarternine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same three months in 2016,2020, the Company was able to increase its net interest income (by 11%), produce a net interest spreadmargin of 3.77%, which was six basis points lower than the 3.83% for3.27% as compared to 3.88% during the same quarterperiod in 2016,2019, and continue to manage its overall interest rate risk position.

The Company, along with many other banks, has been challenged in 2020 during a period of extremely low interest rates together with a relatively flat yield curve.

The Company, through its ALCO and ongoing financial management practices, monitors the interest rate environment in which it operates and adjusts the rates and maturities of its assets and liabilities to remain competitive and to achieve its overall financial objectives subject to established risk limits. In the current and expected future interest rate environment, the Company has been maintaining its investment portfolio to manage the balance between yield and prepayment risk in its portfolio of mortgage backed securities should interest rates remain at current levels. Further, the Company has been managing the investment portfolio to mitigate extension riskprovide liquidity and related declines in market values in that same portfolio should interest rates increase.some additional yield over cash.

The increase in the net unrealized lossgain on the investment portfolio at September 30, 2017 as compared to the net unrealized gain at September 30, 2016 was due primarily to the higherlower interest rates at September 30, 2017 and the sale of more valuable municipal bonds in the first quarter of 2017.2020. At September 30, 2017,2020, the net unrealized lossgain position represented 0.3%2.3% of the investment portfolio’s book value.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully achieve its optimal asset liability mix, as a result of competitive pressures, customer preferences and the inability to perfectly forecast future interest rates and movements.

One of the tools used by the Company to manage its interest rate risk is a static GAPgap analysis presented below. The Company also employs an earnings simulation model on a quarterly basis to monitor its interest rate sensitivity and risk and to model its balance sheet cash flows and the related income statement effects in different interest rate scenarios. The model utilizes current balance sheet data and attributes and is adjusted for assumptions as to investment maturities (including prepayments), loan prepayments, interest rates, and the level of noninterest income and noninterest expense. The data is then subjected to a “shock test” which assumes a simultaneous change in interest rates up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points or down 100 and 200, along the entire yield curve, but not below zero. The results are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income, net income and the market equity over the next twelve and twenty-four month periods from September 30, 2017.2020. In addition to analysis of simultaneous changes in interest rates along the yield curve, changes based on interest rate “ramps” is also performed. This analysis represents the impact of a more gradual change in interest rates, as well as yield curve shape changes.

For the analysis presented below, at September 30, 2017,2020, the simulation assumes a 50 basis point change in interest rates on money market and interest bearing transaction deposits for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in a decreasing interest rate shock scenario with a floor of 0 basis points  (compared to a floor of 0 basis points and 10 basis points in the same analysis as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively), and assumes a 70 basis point change in interest rates on money market and interest bearing transaction deposits for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in an increasing interest rate shock scenario.

As quantified The floor rate in the table below,analysis was lowered due to the fact that in the current interest rate environment, there are interest bearing accounts with current rates less than 10 basis points.

The Company’s analysis at September 30, 20172020 shows a change inmoderate effect on net interest income (over the next 12 months) as well as a moderate effect on the economic value of equity when interest rates are shocked both down 100 and 200 basis points and up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. This moderate impact is due substantially to the significant level of variable rate and re-priceablerepriceable assets and liabilities and related shorter relative durations. The re-pricingrepricing duration of the investment portfolio at September 30, 20172020 is 3.53.2 years, the loan portfolio 1.81.6 years, the interest bearing deposit portfolio 1.73.6 years, and the borrowed funds portfolio 2.46.1 years.

For the market value of equity, the Company has adopted a policy limit of -12% for a 100 basis point change, -15% for a 200 basis point change, -25% for a 300 basis point change and -30% for a 400%400 basis point change.

Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that limit changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables.modeling. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a significant interest rate increase.

During the third quarter of 2017,2020, average market interest rates increased ondecreased across the short end of the yield curve while decreasing on the mid and long end of the curve.

GAPanalysis.

Gap Position

Banks and other financial institutions earnings are significantly dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. This revenue represented 91%87% and 93% of the Company’s revenue for the third quarter of both 20172020 and 2016.

2019, respectively.

In falling interest rate environments, net interest income is maximized with longer term, higher yielding assets being funded by lower yielding short-term funds, or what is referred to as a negative mismatch or GAP.gap. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, net interest income is maximized with shorter term, higher yielding assets being funded by longer-term liabilities or what is referred to as a positive mismatch or GAP.

gap.

The GAPgap position, which is a measure of the difference in maturity and repricing volume between assets and liabilities, is a means of monitoring the sensitivity of a financial institution to changes in interest rates. The chart below provides an indication of the sensitivity of the Company to changes in interest rates. A negative GAPgap indicates the degree to which the volume of repriceable liabilities exceeds repriceable assets in given time periods.

At September 30, 2017,2020, the Company had a positive GAPgap position of approximately $515.5$425 million, or 7%4% of total assets, out to three months, and a positive cumulative GAPgap position of $117.0$457 million, or 2%5% of total assets out to 12twelve months; as compared to a positive GAPgap position of approximately $1.14 billion$420 million or 17%5% of total assets out to three months and a positive cumulative GAPgap position of $1.13 billion or 16%$384 million of 4% of total assets out to 12 months at December 31, 2016.September 30, 2019.  The change in the positive GAPgap position at September 30, 20172020 as compared to December 31, 2016,June 30, 2020 was due substantially to a new methodology which took effect September 30, 2017. Under the new methodology, rate sensitive liabilities have been remodeled to reflect a more conservative repricing model. This resulted in significant changes to the GAP analysis due to interest bearing transaction and savings and money marketterm deposits being assumed to reprice entirelymoving into overnight deposits in the 0-3 month category. Changes in the GAP position between September 30, 2017low and December 31, 2016 were also due to the higher amount of asset liquidity on the balance sheet including an increase inflat interest bearing balances. There was alsorate environment.. Such a decrease in the mix of variable rate loans from 67% of total loans to 66%. The change in the GAPgap position at September 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016 is notnot deemed material to the Company’s overall interest rate risk position, which relies more heavily on simulation analysis that captures the full optionality within the balance sheet. The current position is within guideline limits established by the ALCO. While management believes that this overall position creates a reasonable balance in managing its interest rate risk and maximizing its net interest margin within plan objectives, there can be no assurance as to actual results.

Management has carefully considered its strategy to maximize interest income by reviewing interest rate levels, economic indicators and call features within its investment portfolio, as well as interest rate floors within its loan portfolio. These factors have been discussed with the ALCO and management believes that current strategies areremain appropriate to current economic and interest rate trends.

If interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the Company’s net interest income and net interest margin are expected to increase modestly due to the impact of significant volumes of variable rate assets repricing ahead of liabilities andmore than offsetting the assumption of an increase in money market interest rates by 70% of the change in market interest rates.

If interest rates decline by 100 basis points, the Company’s net interest income and margin are expected to decline modestly as the impact of lower market rates on a large amount of liquid assets more than offsets the ability to lower interest rates on interest bearing liabilities.

Table of Contents
Because competitive market behavior does not necessarily track the trend of interest rates but at times moves ahead of financial market influences, the change in the cost of liabilities may be different than anticipated by the GAPgap model. If this were to occur, the effects of a declining interest rate environment may not be in accordance with management’s expectations.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality and mix, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces, stress testing, regulatory measures and policy, as well as the overall level of growth and complexity of the balance sheet. The adequacy of the Company’s current and future capital needs is monitored by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending. Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential commercial real estate concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land acquisitions which represent 100% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital; or (2) total commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the institution’s total risk-based capital and the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential commercial real estate concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their commercial real estate portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital. The Company, like many community banks, has a concentration in commercial real estate loans, and the Company has experienced significant growth in its commercial real estate portfolio in recent years. At September 30, 20172020, non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans (including construction, land, and land development loans) represent 334%328% of total risk based capital. Construction, land and land development loans represent 131%100% of total risk based capital. Management has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures, and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. Loan monitoring practices include but are not limited to periodic stress testing analysis to evaluate changes to cash flows, owing to interest rate increases and declines in net operating income. Nevertheless, we may be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our commercial real estate concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, and may adversely affect shareholder returns. The Company has an extensive Capital Plan and Policy, which includes pro-forma projections including stress testing within which the Board of Directors has established internal policy limitsminimum targets for regulatory capital ratios that are in excess of well capitalized ratios.



The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five categories, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to, among other things, accept, renew or roll-over brokered deposits. If a bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions and growth and expansion are limited, and plans for capital restoration are required.

In July 2013, the

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC approved finalhave adopted rules (the “Basel III Rules”) implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’sSupervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III). Under the final rules, which became applicable toBasel III Rules, the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 and are subjectrequired to a phase-in period through January 1, 2019, minimum requirements will increase for bothmaintain, inclusive of the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company and the Bank. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CET1 ratio) of 4.5% and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, which when fully phased-in, effectively results in, a minimum CET1 ratio of 7.0%. Basel III raises the, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% (which, with the capital conservation buffer, effectively results in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% when fully phased-in), effectively results in a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.5% (with the capital conservation buffer fully phased-in), and requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. Basel III also makes changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures.

On July 26, 2016,At September 30, 2020, the Company completedand the saleBank meet all these requirements, and satisfy the requirement to maintain a capital conservation buffer of $150.0 million2.5% of CET1 capital for capital adequacy purposes.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company extended the Repurchase Program. Under the Board approval in December, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of 1,641,000 shares of its 5.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes,common stock (inclusive of shares remaining under the initial authorization), through December 31, 2020, subject to earlier termination by the Board of Directors (the “Repurchase Program Extension”).
While the Company’s capital position remains well above regulatory well capitalized levels, due August 1, 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered to the public at par.heightened volatility of the stock market and uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19, the Company’s remaining authorization to repurchase shares was put on hold during the first quarter of 2020 and there were no share repurchases in the second and third quarters of 2020. The notes qualify as Tier 2 capitalCompany’s Board of Directors approved lifting the suspension of the Company’s share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2020. The Board of Directors have authorized management through the current share repurchase program to continue to evaluate opportunities for regulatory purposesshare repurchases.
The Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend on September 24, 2020 of $0.22 per share to shareholders of record on September 15, 2020 and payable on the fullest extent permitted under the Basel III Rule.

Bank and holding company regulations, as well as Maryland law, impose certain restrictions on dividend payments by the Bank, as well as restricting extensions of credit and transfers of assets between the Bank and the Company.

In December 2018, federal banking regulators issued a final rule that provides an optional three-year phase-in period for the adverse regulatory capital effects of adopting the CECL methodology pursuant to new accounting guidance for the recognition of credit losses on certain financial instruments, effective January 1, 2020. In March 2020, the federal banking regulators issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations with an alternative option to temporarily delay for two years the estimated impact of the adoption of the CECL methodology on regulatory capital, followed by the three-year phase-in period. The cumulative amount that is not recognized in regulatory capital will be phased in at 25 percent per year beginning January 1, 2022. We have elected to adopt the March 2020 interim final rule.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP measurements useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The tables below provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible"tangible common equity ratio”ratio") and, tangible book value per common share, the annualized return on average tangible common equity, and efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders’shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders’shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates the ROATCE by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders’ equity. The Company calculates the efficiency ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The efficiency ratio measures a bank’s overhead as a percentage of its revenue. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios.

Changes in internal controlscontrol over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) that occurred during the third quarter of 20172020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than as described below under the caption “Remediation Plan.“Remediation.

Management assessed

Remediation.
As previously described in Part I, Item 4 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, management tested the Company’s systemenhanced controls to determine whether they operate effectively over time. As previously described in Part I, Item 4 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that testing process is now complete and management believes that the enhanced controls are operating effectively and the deficiencies that contributed to the material weakness have been remediated, subject to the results of the year-end audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017. This assessment was conducted based onby Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (“DHG”), the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”)Company’s independent auditors.
The following contributed to this remediation:
the split of the Treadway Commission “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).” Based on this assessment, management believes thatroles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Company did not maintain effective internal control overappointment of our current Chairman, Norman R. Pozez, and our current President and Chief Executive Officer, Susan G. Riel;
the restructuring of the Board of Directors to reduce its size and strengthen its risk and financial reporting asoversight functions, including the addition of September 30, 2017 as a resulttwo new independent directors with extensive experience in risk management and public accounting;
adjustment of the membership of the committees of the Board of Directors, the appointment of new committee chairs and the establishment of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control relating to income tax accounting, as discussed below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company did not maintain effective controls over its income tax accounting. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls related to: state income tax apportionment; an error in federal tax rates; financial statement to tax return reconciliation errors; and matters related to accounting for share based compensation. While these errors were determined not to be material to the consolidated financial statements, and no adjustments were made as a result of these errors, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the tax accruals or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Risk Committee;

Remediation Plan. As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2016 Form 10-K, we began implementing a remediation plan to address the control deficiency that led to the material weakness mentioned above. The remediation plan includes the following:

Implementing specific review procedures, including the enhanced involvement of outside independent tax consulting services in the review of tax accounting, designed to enhance our income tax accruals and deferrals; and

Stronger quarterly income tax controls with improved documentation standards, technical oversight and training.

Our enhanced review procedures and documentation standards were in place and operating during the third quarter of 2017. We are in the process of testinghiring a new Chief Legal Officer (effective January 2020);

the reinforcement of the Company's risk management function, including the addition of personnel and the enhanced review and monitoring of vendor contracts; and
the active encouragement by management, with the assistance of the Chairman and the rest of the Board of Directors, of an open and collaborative culture, to set an appropriate “tone at the top.”
In addition, in the first quarter of 2020, the following further contributed to this remediation: upon the appointment of our Chairman, Norman R. Pozez, as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors appointed Theresa G. LaPlaca as Lead Independent Director of the Board of Directors.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

There have been no material changes in the status of the legal proceedings previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as follows.
From time to time, the Company may becomeand its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings. Atproceedings incidental to their business in the present time thereordinary course, including matters in which damages in various amounts are noclaimed. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that the liabilities (if any) resulting from such legal proceedings will have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, ongoing legal expenses or an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period, as well as its reputation.
On July 24, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its current and former President and Chief Executive Officer and its current and former Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of persons similarly situated, who purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between March 2, 2015 and July 17, 2019. On November 7, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel in that matter, and on January 21, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on behalf of the same class against the same defendants as well as the Company’s former General Counsel. The plaintiff alleges that certain of the Company’s 10-K reports and other public statements and disclosures contained materially false or misleading statements about, among other things, the effectiveness of its internal controls and related party loans, in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Section 20 (a) of that act, resulting in injury to the purported class members as a result of the decline in the value of the Company’s common stock following the disclosure of increased legal expenses associated with certain government investigations involving the Company. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the claims asserted. On April 2, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 15, 2020, the plaintiffs filed their opposition to the defendants' motion to dismiss, and on June 15, 2020, the defendants filed their reply brief. Briefing on defendants' motion is now complete, and the motion is under consideration by the court.
Recently, the Company has engaged in preliminary discussions with a shareholder regarding a demand letter previously received by the Board of Directors from such shareholder, largely relating to the subject matters covered by the putative class action lawsuit described above. The letter demanded that the Board undertake an investigation into the Board’s and management’s alleged violations of law and alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, and take appropriate actions following such investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of those discussions, or whether they will result in a settlement or shareholder derivative litigation.
The Company has received various document requests and subpoenas from securities and banking regulators and U.S. Attorney’s offices in connection with investigations, which the Company believes willrelate to the Company’s identification, classification and disclosure of related party transactions; the retirement of certain former officers and directors; and the relationship of the Company and certain of its former officers and directors with a local public official, among other things. The Company is cooperating with these investigations. There have been no regulatory restrictions placed on the Company’s ability to fully engage in its banking business as presently conducted as a result of these ongoing investigations. We are, however, unable to predict the duration, scope or outcome of these investigations. The amount of legal fees and expenditures for the year is net of expected insurance coverage where we believe we have a material adverse impact onhigh likelihood of recovery pursuant to our D&O insurance policies, but does not include any offset for potential claims we may have in the financial condition or earnings of the Company.

future as to which recovery is impossible to predict at this time.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

There

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and is likely to continue to adversely affect, our customers and other businesses in our market area, as well as counterparties and third party vendors. The resulting adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations have been, no material changesand may continue to be significant.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting containment measures have resulted in widespread economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely effect, our customers and other businesses in our market area, as well as counterparties and third-party vendors. We continue to see the impact of September 30, 2017the pandemic on our business, which we expect may potentially worsen, particularly since there remains ongoing uncertainty as to how long the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures will continue, both in our market area and the rest of the country.. This impact has been, in certain areas, and could continue to be significant, adverse and potentially material. The full extent of this

Table of Contents
impact, and the resulting impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, remains inestimable at this time, and will depend on a number of evolving factors and future developments beyond our control and that we are unable to predict, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic; the nature, extent and effectiveness of containment measures; the timing of development and widespread availability of medical treatments or vaccines; the extent and duration of the effect on the economy, unemployment, consumer confidence and consumer and business spending; the impact and continued availability of monetary, fiscal and other economic policies and programs designed to provide economic assistance to individuals and small businesses; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. It is also possible that any adverse impacts of the pandemic and containment measures may continue once the pandemic is controlled and the containment measures are lifted.
Many of the risks described in the risk factors from those disclosedand other cautionary language included in the Company’sCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2019, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and in other periodic and current reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission will likely be exacerbated, and the impact of such risks will likely be magnified, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations to be the most severe in the following areas:
Loan Credit Quality.  The significant disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has been materially affecting the businesses of our customers and of their customers, which impacts their creditworthiness, their ability to pay amounts owed to us and our ability to collect those amounts. Among the industry’s most clearly impacted by the pandemic are the Accommodation and Food Service industry, exposure to which represents 10.2% of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020, and the Retail Trade industry, which represents 1.3% of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020.  In addition, approximately 6% of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 is secured by commercial real estate loans secured by restaurants, hotels or retail properties. These areas may have a longer recovery period than other industries. Despite high home sales volumes and our strong performance in gains from residential mortgage loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, such volumes and performance are not stable and economic conditions are may likely result in future material declines in real estate values and home sales volumes, and an increase in tenants failing to make or deferring rent payments.  A large portion of our loan portfolio is related to real estate, with 73% consisting of commercial real estate and real estate construction loans, and 80% of our loans being secured by real estate. As a result of actual or expected credit losses, we may downgrade loans, increase our allowance for loan losses, and write-down or charge-off credit relationships, any of which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, market upheavals are likely to affect the value of real estate and commercial assets. In the event of foreclosure, it is unlikely that we will be able to sell the foreclosed property at a price that will allow us to recoup a significant portion of the delinquent loan.
Allowance for Credit Losses. As discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we began using a new credit reserving methodology known as the CECL methodology effective January 1, 2020. Our ability to accurately forecast future losses under that methodology may be impaired by the significant uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and containment measures and the lack of a comparable precedent.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, after the initial adjustment to the allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2020 and the additional adjustments as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we further increased the allowance for credit losses by $6.6 million and $40.7 million, respectively, inclusive of $156 thousand of allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities recorded in the third quarter of 2020. We may need to record additional provisions for credit losses in future, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and our losses on our loans and other exposures could exceed our allowance.
Increased Demands on Capital and Liquidity. We have experienced increased volume of loan originations, particularly SBA loans pursuant to the PPP created by recent legislation. Certain of these SBA loans have mandated interest rates that are lower than our usual rates and may not be purchased by the SBA or other third parties within expected timeframes. In addition, borrowers may draw on existing lines of credit or seek additional loans to finance their businesses. These factors may result in reduced levels of capital and liquidity being available to originate more profitable loans, which will negatively impact our ability to serve our existing customers and our ability to attract new customers.
Deposit Business. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, deposit customers are expected to retain higher levels of cash. While increased low-interest deposits could have a positive impact in the short-term, we would not expect these funds to be replenished as customers use deposit funds for liquidity for their business and individual needs. If deposit levels decline, our available liquidity would decline, and we could be forced to obtain liquidity on terms less favorable than current deposit terms, which would in turn compress margins and negatively impact our results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk. Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability have been and could continue to be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. In
85

Table of Contents
March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results or financial condition.
Operational Risk. Current and future restrictions on our workforce's access to our facilities could limit our ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations. We rely on business processes and branch activity that largely depend on people and technology, including access to information technology systems as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, we have modified our business practices by directing a portion of our employees to work remotely from their homes to minimize interruptions to our operations. These actions will likely result in increased spending on our business continuity efforts, such as technology and readiness procedures for returning to our offices. We could also experience an increased strain on our risk management policies, including, but not limited to, the effectiveness and accuracy of our models, given the lack of data inputs and comparable precedent. Further, technology in employees' homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices. The continuation of these work-from-home measures also introduces additional operational risk, including related to the effectiveness of our anti-money laundering and other compliance programs, as well as increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include greater phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptions of our information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, greater risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information, and potential impairment of our ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.
External Vendors and Service Providers. We rely on many outside service providers that support our day-to-day operations including data processing and electronic communications, real estate appraisal, loan servicers and local and federal government agencies, offices and courthouses. In light of the containment measures responding to COVID-19, many of these entities may limit the availability and access of their services, which may impact our business. For example, loan origination could be delayed due to the limited availability of real estate appraisers for the collateral. Loan closings could be delayed related to reductions in available staff in recording offices or the closing of courthouses, which slows the process for title work, mortgage and UCC filings. If the third-party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect our operations.
Strategic and Reputational Risk. The pandemic and containment measures have caused us to modify our strategic plans and business practices, and we may take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our colleagues, customers and business partners. If we do not respond appropriately to the pandemic, or if customers or other stakeholders do not perceive our response to be adequate, we could suffer damage to our reputation and our brand, which could materially adversely affect our business. We also face an increased risk of litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny as a result of the effects of the pandemic on market and economic conditions and actions governmental authorities take in response to those conditions, as detailed in the Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
