NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

 

(1)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations – Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp” or “the Company”) is a FHC headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, SYB (“the Bank”) and SYB Insurance Company, Inc. (“the Captive”). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of Bancorp and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and adhere to predominant practices within the banking industry.

 

Established in 1904, SYB is a state-chartered non-member financial institution that provides services in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan markets through 63 full service banking center locations.

 

Bancorp is divided into two reportable segments: Commercial Banking and WM&T:

 

Commercial Banking provides a full range of loan and deposit products to individual consumers and businesses in all its markets through retail lending, mortgage banking, deposit services, online banking, mobile banking, private banking, commercial lending, commercial real estate lending, treasury management services, merchant services, international banking, correspondent banking and other banking services. The Bank also offers securities brokerage services via its banking center network through an arrangement with a third party broker-dealer in the Commercial Banking segment. 

 

WM&T provides investment management, financial & retirement planning and trust & estate services, as well as retirement plan management for businesses and corporations in all markets in which Bancorp operates. The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size.

 

The Captive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a Nevada-based captive insurance company that provides insurance against certain risks unique to operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. The Captive pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. The Captive is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance. It has elected to be taxed under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Section 831(b), if gross premiums do not exceed $2,300,000, then the Captive is taxable solely on its investment income. The Captive is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and its federal income tax return.

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Operating results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that require difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, including pandemic-related changes, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

 

Bancorp’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the accounting policy considered the most critical in preparing Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements is the determination of the ACL onfor loans.

 

Effective January 1, 2020, Bancorp adopted ASC 326Financial Instruments Credit Losses,” which created material changes to Bancorp’s existing critical accounting policy that existed at December 31, 2019. Accounting policies relating to credit losses for investment securities, loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures reflect the current accounting policies required by this ASC.

 

11

The ACL onfor loans is established through credit loss expense charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the ACL reflects management’s estimate of the net amount not expected to be collected on the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date over the life of the loan. The ACL is comprised of specific reserves assigned to certain loans that do not share general risk characteristics and general reserves on pools of loans that do share general risk characteristics. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower and more specifically, changes in the expected future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A specific reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans.

 

For purposes of establishing the general reserve, Bancorp stratifies the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and calculates the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. Bancorp’s methodologies for estimating the ACL onfor loans consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

 

Accounting for Business Acquisitions Bancorp accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the acquisition method as outlined in ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations.” The acquisition method requires: a) identification of the entity that obtains control of the acquiree; b) determination of the acquisition date; c) recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and d) recognition and measurement of goodwill or bargain purchase gain.

 

Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in acquirees are generally recognized at their acquisition-date (“day-one”) fair values based on the requirements of ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The measurement period for day-one fair values begins on the acquisition date and ends at the earlier of: (a) the day management believes it has all the information necessary to determine day-one fair values; or (b) one year following the acquisition date. In many cases, the determination of day-one fair values requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly complex and subjective in nature and subject to recast adjustments, which are retrospective adjustments to reflect new information existing at the acquisition date affecting day-one fair values. More specifically, these recast adjustments may be made, as market value data, such as valuations, are received by the Bank. Increases or decreases to day-one fair values are reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease to bargain purchase gain or goodwill.

 

Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred unless those costs are related to issuing debt or equity securities used to finance the acquisition.

 

Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, FFS and interest bearing due from banks as segregated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Debt Securities Bancorp determines the classification of debt securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as AFS and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in AOCI, net of tax. All debt securities were classified as AFS at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method. Amortization of premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity using the interest method, except for premiums on callable debt securities, which are amortized to their earliest call date.

 

Bancorp has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of debt securities and reports accrued interest separately in the consolidated balance sheets. A debt security is placed on non-accrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a security placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. There was no accrued interest related to AFS debt securities reversed against interest income for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020.

ACL AFS Debt Securities For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, Bancorp evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Any impairment that is not credit-related is recognized in AOCI, net of tax. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL onfor AFS debt securities on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL onfor AFS debt securities and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if Bancorp intends to sell an impaired AFS debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL onfor AFS debt securities in this situation.

 

In evaluating AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, Bancorp considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. There were no credit related factors underlying unrealized losses on AFS debt securities at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Changes in the ACL onfor AFS debt securities are recorded as expense. Losses are charged against the ACL onfor AFS debt securities when management believes the uncollectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

 

Mortgage Loans Held for SaleMortgageMortgages originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are recorded at the lower of cost or market value on an individual loan basis, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors.

 

Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost basis, which is the unpaid principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred loan fees and costs, premiums and discounts associated with acquisition date fair value adjustments on acquired loans and any direct partial charge-offs. Bancorp has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of loans and report accrued interest separately from the related loan balance in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income over the life of the loan without anticipating prepayments.

 

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal and/or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or any portion thereof remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. The accrual of interest income on loans is typically discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection, or if full collection of interest or principal becomes doubtful. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition based on a DCF methodology that considers various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting Bancorp’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. Certain larger purchased loans are individually evaluated while certain purchased loans are grouped together according to similar risk characteristics and are treated in aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

 

13

Prior to January 1, 2020, loans acquired in a business combination that had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that Bancorp would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable were considered PCI. PCI loans were individually evaluated and recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition with no initial ACL based on a DCF methodology that considered various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting Bancorp’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. The difference between the DCFs expected at acquisition and the investment in the loan, or the “accretable yield,” was recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the DCFs expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” were not recognized on the balance sheet and did not result in any yield adjustments, loss accruals or valuation allowances. Increases in expected cash flows, including prepayments, subsequent to the initial investment were recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows were recognized as impairment. ACLs on PCI loans reflected only losses incurred post-acquisition (meaning the PV of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately were not expected to be received).

 

Subsequent to January 1, 2020, loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered PCD loans. At the acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. This initial ACL is allocated to individual PCD loans and added to the purchase price or acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD loans. As the initial ACL is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan. Any difference between the unpaid principal balance of PCD loans and the amortized cost basis is considered to relate to non-credit factors and results in a discount or premium. Discounts and premiums are recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.

 

Acquired loans are determined by Bancorp to have more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination if any of the following designations apply, listed in order of priority as follows: Loans individually analyzed by Bancorp and determined to have a collateral or cash flow deficiency resulting in a full or partial allocation for loss, loans placed on non-accrual status by the acquired institution, loans identified as TDRs by the acquired institution, loans that have received a partial charge off by the acquired institution, loans risk-rated below a “pass” grade by the acquired institution and any loans past due 59 days or more at the time of acquisition.

 

For acquired loans not deemed PCD at acquisition, the differences between the initial fair value and the unpaid principal balance are recognized as interest income over the lives of the related loans. For non-PCD loans, an initial ACL onfor loans is estimated and recorded as credit loss expense at the acquisition date.

 

The subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for all acquired loans is the same as the subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for originated loans.

 

Bancorp adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses,” effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the periods subsequent to January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Bancorp recorded a net reduction of retained earnings of $8.8 million upon adoption. The transition adjustment included an increase in the ACL onfor loans of $8.2 million and an increase in the ACL onfor off-balance sheet credit exposures of $3.5 million, net of the total corresponding DTA increase of $2.9 million.

 

Bancorp adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for loans purchased with PCD that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI loans met the criteria of PCD loans as of the adoption date. On January 1, 2020, non-accretable yield marks of $1.6 million related to formerly classified PCI loans were reclassified between the amortized cost basis of loans and corresponding ACL. The majority of these marks were subsequently charged off in the third quarter of 2020.

(1) The impact of the ASC 326 adoption on the ACL onfor loans reflects $8.2 million related to the transition from the incurred loss ACL model to the CECL ACL model and $1.6 million related to the transition from PCI to PCD methodology as defined in the standard.

 

ACL Loans – Under the CECL model, the ACL onfor loans represents a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with GAAP that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to presentrepresent the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio.

 

Bancorp estimates the ACL onfor loans based on the underlying assets’ amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which the receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of payment, and partial charge-offs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, Bancorp has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, Bancorp has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the ACL onfor loans.

 

Expected credit losses are reflected in the ACL onfor loans through a charge to provision. When Bancorp deems all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written-off and the ACL onfor loans is reduced by the same amount. Bancorp applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts of collection have been exhausted and the collateral, if any, has been liquidated. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL onfor loans when received.

 

Bancorp’s methodologies for estimating the ACL onfor loans consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodologies apply historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions at the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that are reasonable and supportable to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for which the historical loss experience was observed. Bancorp’s methodologies may revert to historical loss information on a straight-line basis over a number of quarters when it can no longer develop reasonable and supportable forecasts.

 

15

Loans are predominantly segmented by FDIC Call Report Codes into loan pools that have similar risk characteristics, similar collateral type and are assumed to pose consistent risk of loss to Bancorp. Bancorp has identified the following pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses:

 

15

Commercial Real Estate Owner Occupied Includes non-farm non-residential real estate loans for a variety of commercial property types and purposes, and is typically secured by commercial offices, industrial buildings, warehouses or retail buildings where the owner of the building occupies the property. The primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the party (or affiliate) who owns the property. Repayment terms vary considerably; interest rates are fixed or variable and structured for full or partial amortization of principal.

 

Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied Includes investment real estate loans secured by similar collateral as above. The primary source of income for this loan type is typically rental income associated with the property. This category also includes apartment or multifamily residential buildings (secured by five or more dwelling units).

 

Construction and Land Development Consists of loans to finance the ground up construction or improvement of owner occupied and non-owner occupied residential and commercial properties and loans secured by raw or improved land. The repayment of C&D loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user, the leasing of the property, or sale of the property to a third party. Repayment of land secured loans is dependent upon the successful development and sale of the property, the sale of the land as is, or the outside cash flow of the owners to support the retirement of the debt. Bancorp’s construction loans may convert to real estate-secured loans once construction is completed or principal amortization payments begin, assuming the borrower retains financing with the Bank.

 

Commercial and Industrial Represents loans for C&I purposes to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations and other business enterprises, whether secured (other than those that meet the definition of a “loan secured by real estate”) or unsecured, single payment or installment. This category includes loans originated for financing capital expenditures, loans secured by accounts receivable, inventory and other business assets such as equipment, non-real estate related construction loans in addition to non-real estate loans guaranteed by the SBA. Bancorp originates these loans for a variety of purposes across various industries. This category also includes loans to commercial banks in the U.S. This portfolio has been segregated between term loans and revolving lines of credits based on the varied characteristics of these individual loan structures.

 

Residential Real Estate Includes non-revolving (closed-end) first and junior lien loans secured by residential real estate primarily in Bancorp’s market areas. This portfolio is segregated between owner occupied and non-owner occupied status, as the investment nature of the latter poses additional credit risks to Bancorp.

 

Home Equity Lines of Credit – Similar to the above, however these are revolving (open-ended) lines of credit.

 

Consumer Represents loans to individuals for personal expenditures that may be secured or unsecured. This includes pre-arranged overdraft plans, secured automobile loans and other consumer-purpose loans.

 

Leases Represents a variety of leasing options to businesses to acquire equipment.

 

Credit Cards Represents revolving loans to businesses and consumers.

Discounted Cash flow Method – The DCF methodology is used to develop cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates and time to recovery are based on historical internal data.

 

Bancorp uses regression analysis on historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given 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 the FRB’s forecasted Seasonally Adjusted National Civilian Unemployment Rate as its primary loss driver, as this was determined to best correlate to historical losses.

 

With regard to the DCF model and the adoption of CECL effective January 1, 2020, management determined that four quarters represented a reasonable and supportable forecast period with reversion back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. However, in response to uncertainty surrounding the magnitude and duration of the economic crisis created by the pandemic, management subsequently determined that a one quarter-quarter forecast period with a reversion back to a historical loss rate in the following quarter was appropriate for the calculation performed at March 31, 2020. For the calculation performed at June 30, 2020, management elected to return to the four quarter forecast period with reversion back to a historical loss rate in the following quarter, which has beenwas the methodology used for all subsequent calculations through June 30, 2021.Beginning with the calculation performed as of September 30, 2021, management concluded that increasing the reversion period back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight line basis was warranted, as both current and forecasted unemployment levels have normalized.

 

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level NPV of expected cash flows. An ACL is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

 

Static Pool Method – The static pool methodology is utilized for the loan portfolio segments that typically have shorter durations. For each of these loan segments, Bancorp applies an expected loss ratio based on historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative loss factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

 

Collateral Dependent Loans – Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent loans where Bancorp has determined that the liquidation or foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and Bancorp expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation of the business or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the estimated 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 of expected cash flows 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 loan. Bancorp’s estimate of the ACL reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the loan and the contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications.

 

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. TDRs are evaluated individually to determine the required ACL. TDRs performing in accordance with their modified contractual terms for a reasonable period may be included in Bancorp’s existing pools based on the underlying risk characteristics of the loan to measure the ACL.

In March 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. To qualify for Section 4013 of the CARES Act, borrowers must have been current at December 31, 2019. All modifications were originally eligible as long as they were executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency as declared by the President of the United States. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, extended this provision to the earlier of (1) 60 days after the national emergency termination date or (2) January 1, 2022. Multiple modifications of the same credits are allowed and there is no cap on the duration of the modification. The impact of such activity is discussed in the section of this document titled, “Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3three to 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over terms of the related leases, including expected renewals, or over the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized.

 

FHLB Stock Bancorp is a member institution of the FHLB. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts of stock. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and annually evaluated for impairment. Because this stock is viewed as a long-term investment, impairment is based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are recorded as interest income.

 

Goodwill – Goodwill resulting from business acquisitions represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate a goodwill impairment test should be performed.

 

Bancorp has selected September 30th30 as the date to perform its annual goodwill impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Bank’s balance sheet.

 

All goodwill is attributable to the Commercial Banking segment. Goodwill related to the KSB acquisition is deductible for tax purposes, as it was structured as an asset sale/338 election. Goodwill related to the KB acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes, as it was structured as stock sale. Based on its assessment, Bancorp believes its goodwill balance at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was not impaired and is properly recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Other intangible assets consist of CDI assets arising from business acquisitions. CDI assets are initially measured at fair value and then amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives.

 

Other Assets – BOLI and other life insurance policies are carried at net realizable value, which considers applicable surrender charges. Also, Bancorp maintains life insurance policies in conjunction with its non-qualified defined benefit and non-qualified compensation plans.

 

OREO is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value minus estimated selling costs. In certain situations, improvements to prepare assets for sale are capitalized if those costs increase the estimated fair value of the asset. Expenses incurred in maintaining assets, write downs to reflect subsequent declines in value, and realized gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations and are included in non-interest income and/or expense.

 

MSRs are initially recorded at fair value and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions and are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing the carrying value to fair value.

 

18

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures – Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to originate loans, commitments to fund existing loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer-financing needs. Off-balance sheet refers to assets or liabilities that do not appear on a company's balance sheet. Bancorp’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance 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.

 

18

Bancorp records an ACL onfor off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to credit loss expense for off-balance sheet credit exposures included in provision for credit losses on Bancorp’s consolidated statements of income. The ACL onfor off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan portfolio segment at each balance sheet date under the current CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur and is included in other liabilities on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

Derivatives – Bancorp uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, as part of its interest rate risk management. GAAP establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. As required by GAAP, Bancorp’s interest rate swaps are recognized as other assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Accounting for changes in fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. To qualify for hedge accounting, Bancorp must comply with detailed rules and documentation requirements at inception of the hedge, and hedge effectiveness is assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of each hedging relationship. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is measured periodically throughout the life of the hedging relationship.

 

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative is initially reported in OCI and subsequently reclassified to interest income or expense when the hedged transaction affects earnings, while the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of derivative, if any, is recognized immediately in other noninterest income. Bancorp assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing cumulative changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with cumulative changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. No component of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

 

Periodically, Bancorp enters into an interest rate swap transaction with a borrower, who desires to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts and collateral provisions mitigating any non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have an insignificant effect on earnings. Because these derivative instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments, the derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value, due to changes in prevailing interest rates, recorded in other noninterest income.

 

Bancorp had no fair value hedging relationships at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Bancorp does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. See the Footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional discussion.

 

Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from Bancorp, 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 Bancorp does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – For all awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the period in which it is earned based on the grant-date fair value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest, reduced for estimated forfeitures.forfeitures at the time of grant. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes – Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in DTAs and DTLs. DTAs and DTLs are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted statutory tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces DTAs to the amount expected to be realized.

19

 

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

 

Bancorp recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense, if any.

 

19

Bancorp periodically invests in certain partnerships with customers that yield historic tax credits, accounted for using the flow through method, which approximates the equity method, and/ormethod. Also, low-income housing tax credits, as well as tax deductibletax-deductible losses, which are accounted for using the effective yield method for older transactions or proportional amortization method for more recent transactions. The tax benefit of these investments exceeds the amortization expense associated with them, resulting in a positive impact on net income.

 

Net Income Per Share Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive options and SARs, assuming proceeds are used to repurchase shares under the treasury stock method.

 

Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For Bancorp, this includes net income, changes in unrealized gains and losses on AFS debt securities and cash flow hedging instruments, net of reclassification adjustments and taxes, and minimum pension liability adjustments, net of taxes.

 

Loss Contingencies – Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any outstanding matters that would have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Restrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents – Bancorp has historically been required by the FRB to maintain average reserve balances. Effective March 26, 2020, the FRB reduced the reserve requirement ratio to 0% in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, eliminating reserve requirements for all depository institutions. The reserve requirement ratio remained at 0% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

The Company’s captive maintains cash reserves to cover insurable claims. Reserves totaled $400,000 as of September 30, 2021.

 

Dividend Restrictions – Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Holding Company or by the Holding Company to shareholders.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as disclosed in the Footnote titled “Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value” in this section of the filing. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect such estimates.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers On January 1, 2018, Bancorp adopted ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”). While this update modified guidance for recognizing revenue, it did not have a material impact on the timing or presentation of Bancorp’s revenue. The majority of Bancorp’s revenue comes from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives, which are not subject to ASC 606. Bancorp’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within non-interest income and are recognized as revenue as Bancorp satisfies its obligation to its customer.

 

Segment Information Bancorp provides a broad range of financial services to individuals, corporations and others through its full service banking locations. These services include loan and deposit services, cash management services, securities brokerage activities, mortgage origination and WM&T activities. Bancorp’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in two reportable operating segments: Commercial Banking and WM&T.

 

Reclassifications Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported prior periods’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” in March 2020. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

 

Accounting Standards Updates Generally, if an issued but not yet effective ASU with an expected immaterial impact to Bancorp has been disclosed in prior SEC filings, it will not be re-disclosed.

 

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04,Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326), Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), and Financial Instruments (ASC 825).” The amendments in the ASU improve the Codification by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The amended guidance in this ASU related to the credit losses will be effective for Bancorp’s for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Bancorp is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Elimination of the historical KB goodwill of $14.0 million at the closing date.

 

f.

Calculation of core deposit intangible related to the acquisition. During the third quarter of 2021, a recast adjustment of $999,000 was recorded based on revised inputs used in the calculation of the CDI attributed to KB, resulting in an increased intangible value.

 

g.

Adjustment to reflect the estimated fair value of other real estate owned.

 

h.

Adjustment to reflect the estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

 

i.

Adjustment to net deferred tax assets associated with the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments.

 

j.

Adjustment to other assets to reflect the estimated fair value of prepaid and other assets. During the third quarter of 2021, a recast adjustment of $70,000 was recorded for the write off of miscellaneous mortgage servicing fees accrued in other assets by KB at acquisition, resulting in a reduction to other assets.

 

k.

Adjustment to deposits to reflect the estimated fair value of time deposits in interest rates, which was based primarily on an analysis of current market interest rates and maturity dates.

 

l.

Adjustment to reflect the estimated fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances for differences in interest rates, which was based primarily on an analysis of current market interest rates and maturity dates. All KB FHLB advances were paid off immediately upon acquisition.

 

m.

Adjustment to other liabilities to establish the reserve for unfunded loan commitments under CECL and various accrual adjustments.

 

Goodwill of approximately $124$123 million, which is the excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired, is expected to bewas recorded in the KB acquisition and is the result of expected operational synergies and other factors. This goodwill is all attributable to the Company’s Commercial Banking segment andsegment. Goodwill related to the KB acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.purposes, as it was structured as stock sale. To the extent that management revises any of the above fair value adjustments as a result of its continuing evaluation, the amount of goodwill recorded in the KB acquisition will change.

 

NetTotal revenue, defined as net interest income excluding all purchase accounting adjustments,and non-interest income, attributed to KB totaled $2.1$11.3 million and $15.7 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. The investment portfolio includes MBS’s,MBS, which are guaranteed by agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain principal payment dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral.

 

Securities with a carrying value of $676$698 million and $505 million were pledged at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, to secure accounts of commercial depositors in cash management accounts, public deposits and uninsured cash balances for WM&T accounts. The large increase over the firstsix months offor 2021 was driven by collateralized accounts added through the KB acquisition.

Applicable dates for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position are JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value lower than its amortized cost on other days during the past 12 months, but is not in the “Less than 12 months” category above.

 

For AFS debt securities inwith an unrealized loss position, Bancorp evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Any impairment that is not credit-related is recognized in AOCI, net of tax. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an a ACL onfor AFS debt securities on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if Bancorp intends to sell an impaired AFS debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL in this situation.

 

In evaluating AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, Bancorp considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. Unrealized losses on Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio have not been recognized as an expense because the securities are of high credit quality, and the decline in fair values is attributable to changes in the prevailing interest rate environment since the purchase date. Fair value is expected to recover as securities reach maturity and/or the interest rate environment returns to conditions similar to when these securities were purchased. These investments consisted of 144177 and 14 separate investment positions as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There were no credit related factors underlying unrealized losses on AFS debt securities at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

PCD Loans

 

In connection with the acquisition of KB, Bancorp acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition with no carryover from the acquired institution’s previously recorded allowance for loan and lease losses. Acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 362,326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses.

 

The fair value of acquired loans recorded at the time of acquisition is based upon several factors, including the timing and payment of expected cash flows, as adjusted for estimated credit losses and prepayments, and then discounting these cash flows using comparable market rates. The resulting fair value adjustment is recorded in the form of a premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of the respective loans. As it relates to acquired loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination (“PCD”), the net premium or net discount is adjusted to reflect Bancorp’s allowance for credit losses recorded for PCD loans at the time of acquisition, and the remaining fair value adjustment is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. As it relates to loans not classified as PCD (“non-PCD”) loans, the credit loss and yield components of their fair value adjustment are aggregated, and the resulting net premium or net discount is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. Bancorp records an ACL for non-PCD loans at the time of acquisition through provision expense, and therefore, no further adjustments are made to the net premium or net discount for non-PCD loans.

* - Pursuant to the CARES Act, loan deferrals granted to borrowers experiencing business interruptions related to the pandemic were not classified as TDRs and not included in past due and/or non-performing loan statistics.

Loan Risk Ratings

 

Consistent with regulatory guidance, Bancorp categorizes loans into credit risk rating categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. Pass-rated loans include all risk-rated loans other than those classified as OAEM, substandard, and doubtful, which are defined below:

 

OAEM – Loans classified as OAEM have potential weaknesses requiring management's heightened attention. These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of Bancorp's credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the obligor or of collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize ultimate repayment of the debt. Default is a distinct possibility if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Substandard non-performing – Loans classified as substandard non-performing have all the characteristics of substandard loans and have been placed on non-accrual status or have been accounted for as TDRs. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when prospects for recovering both principal and accrued interest are considered doubtful or when a default of principal or interest has existed for 90 days or more.

 

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Table of Contents

Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination. Current period renewals of credit are re-underwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below. Beginning in 2021, Bancorp has elected not to disclose revolving loans that have converted to term loans, as activity relating to this disclosure, which is included in the tables presented below as of December 31, 2020, is currently immaterial to Bancorp’s loan portfolio and is expected to be in the future. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the risk rating of loans based on year of origination was as follows:

Bancorp considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the ACL. For certain loan classes, such as credit cards, credit quality is evaluated based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity.

In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and in response to requests from borrowers who experienced business or personal cash flow interruptions related to the pandemic, Bancorp extended payment deferrals for those affected borrowers. Depending on the demonstrated need of the customer, Bancorp deferred either the full loan payment or the principal-only portion of respective loan payments, typically for 90 or 180 days, for some borrowers directly impacted by the pandemic. Pursuant to the CARES Act, these loan deferrals were not classified as TDRs and not included in past due and/or non-performing loan statistics. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, outstanding loan deferrals totaled $8 million,$355,000, representing 0.21%0.01% of the total loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) compared to $37 million, or 1.24% of the total loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) at December 31, 2020.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, goodwill represents $124$123 million related to the KB acquisition, $11.8$12 million related to the 2019 KSB acquisition and $682,000 related to the 1996 purchase of a bank in southern Indiana. The acquisition of TBOC in 2013 generated a bargain purchase gain. As permitted under GAAP, management has up to 12 months following the date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities related to the KB acquisition. During this measurement period, Bancorp may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date.

 

GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Bancorp’s annual goodwill impairment test is conducted as of September 30 of each year or more often as situations dictate.

 

At December 31, 2020,September 30, 2021, Bancorp elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Commercial Banking reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

Bancorp maintains life insurance policies other than BOLI in conjunction with its non-qualified defined benefit retirement and non-qualified compensation plans.

 

Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated derivative instruments and are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. For additional information, see the footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments.

 

MSRs, a component of other assets, are initially recognized at fair value when mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained. The MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, considering appropriate prepayment assumptions. MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment by comparing carrying value to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the PV of estimated net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income.

 

The estimated fair value of MSRs at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $4.7$5.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. MSRs with an estimated fair value of $1.7 million were acquired in the KB acquisition. There was 0 valuation allowance recorded for MSRs as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as fair value exceeded carrying value.

Current state income tax expense represents tax owed to the states of Kentucky, Indiana and Indiana.Illinois. Ohio state bank taxes are currently based on capital levels and are recorded as other non-interest expense.

 

The state of Kentucky passed legislation in 2019 that required financial institutions to transition from a capital based franchise tax to the Kentucky corporate income tax beginning in 2021 and allows entities filing a combined Kentucky income tax return to share certain tax attributes, including net operating loss carryforwards.

 

GAAP provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns. If recognized, tax benefits would reduce tax expense and accordingly, increase net income. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for current year tax positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to statutes of limitation, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examination, litigation and legislative activity and addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was immaterial to Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. Federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination for the years after 2016.

FHLB Advances

 

Bancorp had one advance totaling $10 million outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with 37 separate advances totaling $32 million as of December 31, 2020. Interest payments are due monthly with principal due at maturity for the lone advance outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

 

Bancorp chose to pay off all outstanding advances during the second quarter with the exception of the $10 million advance noted above, which is associated with a cash flow-related interest rate swap that matures in December 2021. The advances paid off during the second quarter had an average weighted cost of 2.03% prior to their maturity and an early-termination fee of $474,000 was incurred as a result of the payoffs. Bancorp made this decision due to its excess liquidity driven by the substantial deposit growth it achieved during 2020 and the first half of 2021 combined with the near-term outlook for low interest rates. Bancorp believes it will substantially “earn back” the early termination penalty through lower interest expense over the next two years.

 

FHLB advances totaling $91 million were acquired assumed on May 31, 2021 in relation to the KB acquisition, all of which were paid off immediately upon acquisition.

FHLB advances are collateralized by certain CRE and residential real estate mortgage loans under blanket mortgage collateral pledge agreements as well as a portion Bancorp’s PPP loan portfolio and FHLB stock. Bancorp views these advances as an effective lower-costing alternative to brokered deposits to fund loan growth. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of available credit from the FHLB totaled $875$892 million and $804 million, respectively.

 

Bancorp also had $80 million in FFP lines available from correspondent banks at both JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers either as unsecured or, in the case of secured, as long as collateral is available as agreed upon and there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, securities, equipment and real estate. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

 

At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Bancorp had accrued $4.8$4.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in other liabilities for its estimate of credit losses onfor off balance sheet credit exposures. A net benefit of $825,000$1.4 million was recorded for the provision for off balance sheet credit exposures for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared to net expense of $1.9$2.4 million for the same period of 2020. The reduction in the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021 is attributed to nearly all loan segments experiencing a decrease in their reserve loss percentages consistent with generally improving model factors, particularly unemployment forecasts.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a first party beneficiary. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support commercial transactions. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.

 

Certain commercial customers require confirmation of Bancorp’s letters of credit by other banks since Bancorp does not have a rating by a national rating agency. Terms of the agreements range from one month to a year with certain agreements requiring between one and six months’ notice to cancel. If an event of default on all contracts had occurred at JuneSeptember 30, 2021, Bancorp would have been required to make payments of approximately $2.7$2.2 million, or the maximum amount payable under those contracts. No payments have ever been required because of default on these contracts. These agreements are normally secured by collateral acceptable to Bancorp, which limits credit risk associated with the agreements.

 

On April 9, 2021, a lawsuit was filed by a purported shareholder of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. (“KBI”) in the Circuit Court of Bourbon County, Kentucky challenging our proposed merger with KBI.  The complaint, captioned Paul Parshall v. Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. et al. (Case No.21-CI-00109), named as defendants KBI, the KBI board of directors, Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. and H. Meyer Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stock Yards Bancorp (“Merger Sub”).  The complaint alleged, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties as directors of KBI in connection with their consideration and approval of the proposed merger transaction and caused materially misleading and incomplete information regarding the proposed transaction to be disseminated to the KBI shareholders in violation of their fiduciary duty of disclosure.  The complaint further asserted that KBI, Stock Yards Bancorp and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by the directors of KBI in connection with the proposed transaction. The complaint sought, among other relief, preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction unless and until KBI provided all material information to KBI shareholders to allow them to make a fully informed voting or appraisal decision with respect to the proposed transaction and adopted and implemented a procedure or process to obtain a merger agreement providing the best available terms for the KBI shareholders. Stock Yards Bancorp, KBI and the KBI board of directors believed the claims asserted in the lawsuit were without merit. On April 28, 2021, Stock Yards Bancorp and Merger Sub, with the consent of the other defendants, filed a Notice of Removal with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Central Division, to remove the case from Bourbon Circuit Court to the U.S. District Court (Case No.5:21-CV-00108-REW) for all further proceedings.  On May 25, 2021, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with the U.S. District Court notifying the Court and the defendants that he was voluntarily dismissing the claims in this action without prejudice. The Court subsequently entered an order giving effect to the plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal and directing that the matter be struck from the Court’s docket, as dismissed.

On April 30, 2021, a lawsuit was filed by a purported shareholder of KBI in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York challenging our proposed merger with KBI.  The complaint, captioned Alex Ciccotelli v. Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. et al. (Case No.1:21-CV-03865-LAP), named as defendants KBI, the KBI board of directors, Stock Yards Bancorp and Merger Sub.  The complaint alleged, among other things, that the individual defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder by disseminating a proxy statement/prospectus to the shareholders of KBI in connection with the proposed transaction that contained material misstatements and omissions and that KBI was liable as the issuer of those statements.  The complaint further asserted that the individual defendants and Stock Yards Bancorp were liable for the alleged misstatements and omissions in the proxy statement/prospectus by virtue of their actions as controlling persons of KBI within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act.  The complaint sought, among other relief, preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction, an order directing the individual defendants to disseminate a proxy statement/prospectus that does not contain any material misstatements or omissions and, in the event defendants consummate the proposed transaction, an award of rescissionary damages.  Stock Yards Bancorp, KBI and the KBI board of directors believed the claims asserted in the lawsuit were without merit. On August 2, 2021, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, in the normal course of business, there were other pending legal actions and proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate result of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Bancorp.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The methods of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities presented in this note are consistent with the methodologies disclosed in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Discussion of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis follows:

 

MSRs – On at least a quarterly basis, MSRs are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the MSRs as compared to carrying amount. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. These measurements are classified as Level 3. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no valuation allowance for MSRs, as the fair value exceeded the cost. Accordingly, the MSRs are not included in the following tabular disclosure for JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Collateral dependent loans – For collateral-dependent loans where Bancorp has determined that the liquidation or foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party or internal appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, comparable sales, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. Bancorp reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 8% to 10% of the appraised value. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise or knowledge of the client and client’s business.

 

OREO OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs charged to the ACL. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. Bancorp obtains the valuation of OREO with material balances from third party appraisers. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. Bancorp reviews the appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 8% to 10% of the appraised value.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of Bancorp’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly impact estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The fair value of all stock-based awards granted, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as compensation expense over the respective service period.

 

At Bancorp's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and authorized the shares available from the expiring 2005 plan for future awards under the 2015 plan. In 2018, shareholders approved an additional 500,000 shares for issuance under the plan. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, there were 356,000351,000 shares available for future awards. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan expired in April 2015 and SARs granted under this plan expire as late as 2025. The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan has no defined expiration date.

 

SAR Grants – SARs granted have a vesting schedule of 20% per year and expire ten years after the grant date unless forfeited due to employment termination.

 

Fair values of SARs are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, a leading formula for calculating such value. This model requires the input of assumptions, changes to which can materially impact the fair value estimate. The following assumptions were used in SAR valuations at the grant date in each year:

 

Assumptions

 

2021

  

2020

  

2021

  

2020

 

Dividend yield

 2.52% 2.51% 2.52% 2.51%

Expected volatility

 25.21% 20.87% 25.19% 20.87%

Risk free interest rate

 1.23% 1.25% 1.22% 1.25%

Expected life (in years)

 7.1  7.1  7.1  7.1 

 

Dividend yield and expected volatility are based on historical information for Bancorp corresponding to the expected life of SARs granted. Expected volatility is the volatility of underlying shares for the expected term calculated on a monthly basis. The risk free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the awards. The expected life of SARs is based on actual experience of past like-term SARs. Bancorp evaluates historical exercise and post-vesting termination behavior when determining the expected life.

 

RSA Grants – RSAs granted to officers vest over five years. For all grants prior to 2015, grantees are entitled to dividend payments during the vesting period. For grants in 2015 and forward, dividends are deferred until shares are vested. Fair value of RSAs is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant.

 

PSU Grants – PSUs vest based upon service and a three-year performance period, which begins January 1 of the first year of the performance period. Because grantees are not entitled to dividend payments during the performance period, the fair value of these PSUs is estimated based upon the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, adjusted for non-payment of dividends. Grants require a one-year post-vesting holding period and therefore the fair value of such grants incorporates a liquidity discount related to the holding period of 6.1% and 4.4% for 2021 and 2020.

 

RSU Grants – RSUs are only granted to non-employee directors, are time-based and vest 12 months after grant date. Because grantees are entitled to deferred dividend payments at the end of the vesting period, therefore the fair value of the RSUs equals market value of underlying shares on the date of grant.

 

In the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, Bancorp awarded 7,758 and 6,570 RSUs to non-employee directors of Bancorp with a grant date fair value of $315,000 and $270,000, respectively.

 

Bancorp utilized cash of $208,000 and $224,000 during the first sixnine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively, for the purchase of shares upon the vesting of RSUs.

Periodically, Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated derivative instruments and are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts and collateral provisions mitigating any non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have an insignificant effect on earnings. Exchanges of cash flows related to undesignated interest rate swap agreements were offsetting and therefore had no effect on Bancorp’s earnings or cash flows.

 

Interest rate swap agreements derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Bancorp is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these agreements. Bancorp mitigates the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, collateral and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations.

In 2016, Bancorp entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows of a $10 million rolling fixed-rate three-month FHLB borrowing. The swap began December 6, 2016 and matures December 6, 2021. For purposes of hedging, rolling fixed rate advances are considered to be floating rate liabilities. Interest rate swaps involve exchange of Bancorp’s floating rate interest payments for fixed rate swap payments on underlying principal amounts. These swaps were designated and qualified, for cash-flow hedge accounting. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of AOCI, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods for which the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings.

Regulatory Matters

 

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to capital regulations in accordance with Basel III, as administered by banking regulators. Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Bancorp’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Holding Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Bancorp’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators regarding components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To meet the definition of well-capitalized, a bank must have a minimum 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.0% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio and 5.0% Tier 1 Leverage ratio.

 

Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be considered adequately-capitalized. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were a 6.0% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and 10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio. The capital conservation buffer was phased in starting in 2016 at 0.625% and was fully implemented at 2.5% effective January 1, 2019.

 

Bancorp continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

Segments

 

Bancorp’s principal activities include commercial banking and WM&T. Commercial banking provides a full range of loan and deposit products to individual consumers and businesses. Commercial banking also includes Bancorp’s mortgage banking and investment products sales activity. WM&T provides investment management, financial & retirement planning and trust & estate services, as well as retirement plan management for businesses and corporations in all markets in which Bancorp operates. The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size.

 

Financial information for each business segment reflects that which is specifically identifiable or allocated based on an internal allocation method. Income taxes are allocated based on the effective federal income tax rate adjusted for any tax-exempt activity. All tax-exempt activity and provision have been allocated fully to the commercial banking segment. Measurement of performance of business segments is based on the management structure of Bancorp and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. Information presented is also not necessarily indicative of the segments’ operations if they were independent entities.

 

Principally, all of the net assets of Bancorp are involved in the commercial banking segment. Goodwill of $136.5$136 million, of which $682,000 relates to a bank acquisition in 1996, $11.8$12 million relates to the 2019 KSB acquisition and $124.0$123 million relates to the KB acquisition, has been assigned to the commercial banking segment. Assets assigned to WM&T primarily consist of net premises and equipment and a receivable related to fees earned that have not been collected.

Bancorp’s revenue on the consolidated statement of income is categorized by product type, which effectively depicts how the nature, timing and extent of cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606 are discussed below:

 

Bancorp earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account management and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees and stop payments fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, as that is when the company fulfills the performance obligation. Account management fees are earned over the course of a month and charged in the month in which the services are provided.

 

Treasury management transaction fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, as that is when the company fulfills the performance obligation. Account analysis fees are earned over the course of a month and charged in the month in which the services are provided. Treasury management fees are withdrawn from customers’ account balances.

 

60

WM&T provides customers fiduciary and investment management services as agreed upon in asset management contracts. The contracts require WM&T to provide a series of distinct services for which fees are earned over time. The contracts are cancellable upon demand with fees typically based upon the asset value of investments. Revenue is accrued and recognized monthly based upon month-end asset values and collected from the customer predominately in the following month except for a small percentage of fees collected quarterly. Incentive compensation related to WM&T activities is considered a cost of obtaining the contract. Contracts between WM&T and customers do not permit performance-based fees and accordingly, none of the fee income earned by WM&T is performance-based. Trust fees receivable were $2.6 million and $2.2 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Investment products sales commissions and fees represent the Bank’s share of transaction fees and wrap fees resulting from investment services and programs provided through an agent relationship with a third party broker-dealer. Transaction fees are assessed at the time of the transaction. Those fees are collected and recognized on a monthly basis. Trailing fees are based upon market values and are assessed, collected and recognized on a quarterly basis. Because the Bank acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and third party provider, and does not control the services rendered, investment product sales commissions and fees are reported net of related costs, including nominal incentive compensation, and trading activity charges of $289,000$437,000 and $283,000$417,000 for the sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Debit and credit card revenue primarily consists of debit and credit card interchange income. Interchange income represents fees assessed within the payment card system for acceptance of card-based transactions. Interchange fees are assessed as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is at the point in time the card transaction is authorized. Revenue is collected and recognized daily through the payment network settlement process.

 

Bancorp did not establish any contract assets or liabilities as a result of adopting ASC 606, nor were any recognized during the firstthreenine months ofended September 30, 2021.

Overview Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and efforts to contain both the virus and the related economic fallout have had a complex and significant impact on the economy, the banking industry and Bancorp. While the distribution of vaccinations, continued easing of restrictions on public commerce and business activities, and stabilizing unemployment levels have been positive developments in recent months, the overall impact of the pandemic upon Bancorp, the Bank and its customers remains uncertain.

 

Bancorp’s financial condition and results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 have been significantly impacted by the following pandemic-related factors, among others:

 

 

The sustained low interest rate environment and related NIM compression

 

Significant participation in the SBA’s PPP

 

Federal stimulus action for individuals, including stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits, among many other factors

Overall excess balance sheet liquidity

 

The FRB’s Seasonally Adjusted National Civilian Unemployment Rate forecast and the resulting impact to the ACL onfor loans and off balance sheet credit exposures

 

The FRB’s decision to lower the FFTR 150 bps in March of 2020 in response to the pandemic lowered the FFTR to a range of 0%-0.25% and Prime to 3.25%, where both remained as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Consistent with the rate drops, key benchmark rates, such as the five-year treasury rate and one-month LIBOR, declined dramatically and generally remained low through the first and second quarters of 2021.dramatically. While the interest rate environment has improved through the first half of 2021,in recent quarters, key rates remain well below pre-pandemic levels.

 

Bancorp’s participation in the PPP has resulted in approximately 5,500 PPP loan originations totaling $887$918 million (net($887 million net of unearned deferred fees and costs) since the program’s inception as part of the CARES Act, which was signed into law in March 2020. While the first round of PPP expired in August 2020, legislative action created a second round of funding for the program and subsequently extended the program to May 31, 2021.

 

As part of the first round of the PPP, Bancorp originated approximately 3,400 PPP loans totaling $637$657 million (net($637 million net of unearned deferred fees and costs). As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, 82%96% of the dollars originated in the first round have been forgiven and another 10% are in the process of being forgiven by the SBA.forgiven. Further, approximately 95%99% of the $19.6 million in net fees received for this round have been recognized life to date. TheseAs these borrowers arewere required to begin making payments in July, which will likely further accelerateaccelerated forgiveness submissions foractivity was experienced during the remaining loansthird quarter of 2021. Remaining round one originations are expected to be forgiven in the coming months.

 

As part of the second round of the PPP, Bancorp originated over 2,100 PPP loans totaling $250$261 million (net($250 million net of unearned deferred fees and costs). As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, 3%24% of the dollars originated in the second round have been forgiven and 11%34% of the $11.4 million in net fees received for this round have been recognized life to date. As these borrowers are not required to make payments for 16 months, Bancorp expects a significant portion of these borrowers will seek forgiveness in early to mid-2022 in connection with their tax return preparation.

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, outstanding PPP loans originated by Kentucky BankKB and acquired by Bancorp totaled $16$12 million.

 

6766

 

Interest and fee income earned on the PPP portfolio totaled $6.9$4.4 million and $13.9$18.4 million for the three and sixnine month periods ending JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, representing increases of $3.5 million$242,000 and $10.5$10.8 million over the same periods of the prior year. Forgiveness activity that accelerated the recognition of related fee income drove a $6.6 million, or 18%, and $9.2 million, or 13%, increase in total interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, Bancorp had $11.6$8 million of net unearned deferred fees related to the PPP that have yet to be recognized and as a result, PPP loan forgiveness will have a major impact on operating results for the remainder of 2021 and the first part of 2022.

 

As a result of the PPP originations, forgiveness activity, record deposit levels and historically low interest rates, excess liquidity has created NIM compression, as well as challenges associated with deploying idle cash. Bancorp has made substantial investmentinvestments in the AFS debt securities portfolio over the past several months induring 2021 an effort to deploy excess liquidity, however, prepayment activity within the MBS portfolio has made it challenging to grow the portfolio.

 

The ACL for loans (excluding acquisition related activity) was reduced $3.9decreased $5 million between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021, a stark contrast from the $11.1 million reserve buildlarge increase recorded between December 31, 2019 and JuneSeptember 30, 2020, which wereincluded a $16 million reserve build that was separate and subsequent to the increases recorded effective January 1, 2020 in relation to the initial adoption of CECL. The pandemic had a material impact on ACL calculations in 2020, as provisioning surged amidst changes in forecasted economic conditions, especially the FRB’s Seasonally Adjusted National Civilian Unemployment Rate. After peaking towards the middle of last year, unemployment forecasts have improved, as have other underlying CECL model factors, resulting in the provision reduction recorded during the first and second quartersnine months of 2021.

 

While separate from the ACL onfor loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL onfor off balance sheet credit exposures also experienced a decrease between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021. A net benefit of $1.4 million was recorded asto provision for credit losses onfor off balance sheet exposures during the first halfnine months of 2021, as loss factors associated with the calculation similarlyhave improved in recent months despiteand line of credit utilization while improving some, remained at lowcontinues to increase, although it remains below pre-pandemic levels. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures stood at $4.8$4.3 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $5.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

 

Bancorp has not incurred any significant challenges to its ability to maintain its systems and controls in light of the measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and has not incurred significant resource constraints through the implementation of its business continuity plans and does not anticipate incurring such issues in the future. Bancorp has not made, and at this time does not expect to make, any material staffing or compensation changes as a result of the pandemic.

The acquisitionstrategic lowering of Kentucky Bancshares included $18.1 milliondeposit rates in merger expenses and $7.4 million in purchase accounting adjustments (mainly provision expense) fortandem with FRB interest rate actions to levels at or below those offered during the three months ended JuneGreat Recession, where they remained as of September 30, 2021.

 

o

NIM decreased 12 bps to 3.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 3.26% for the same period in 2020. Substantial growth in federal funds sold, interest bearing due from banks and the AFS debt securities portfolio resulting from excess liquidity and efforts to deploy it, coupled with a sustained low rate environment that has continued to put pressure on loan yields drove NIM compression for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020.

Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.1 billion, or 40%, compared to September 30, 2020, driven by adding $755 million in loans (including PPP) on May 31, 2021 in relation to the KB acquisition and $376 million of organic growth. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) also increased $1.1 billion, or 39%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, $738 million of which was attributed to the acquisition.

As a result of generally improving CECL model factors, including an improved unemployment forecast, a net benefit of $1.5 million was recorded for total provision for credit losses was elevated for bothduring the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, albeit2021. In contrast, total provision for different reasons.credit loss expense of $5.0 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The adoption of CECL (ASC 326) effective January 1, 2020 and subsequent pandemic-related developments, such as elevated unemployment and historic declines in line of credit utilization amidst the evolving pandemic resulted in a total provisionelevated provisioning for credit losses of $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30,throughout 2020. While a cumulative net benefit of $3.3 million was recorded for credit losses on loans and off balance sheet credit exposures during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result generally improving CECL model factors, including a substantially improved unemployment forecast, a provision of $7.4 million was recorded in relation to the acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares.

 

o

Deposit balances increased $1.6 billion compared to September 30, 2020, as a result of assuming approximately $1.0 billion in deposits on May 31, 2021 related to the KB acquisition and the general trend of customers maintaining elevated levels of liquidity. Deposits have remained elevated for several quarters and finished at record levels as of September 30, 2021 (both including and excluding acquisition-related activity), as PPP funding and multiple federal stimulus packages have led to customers generally holding higher levels of liquidity.

Total non-interest income increased $4.6 million, or 35%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. As previously noted, the quarter benefitted from the first full quarter of activity related to the KB acquisition, which totaled approximately $3.0 million. All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking, which experienced a significant decrease as a result of slowing volumes compared to the pandemic-driven re-finance rush that benefitted 2020.

68

Non-interest expenses increased $8.9 million, or 35%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The first full quarter of activity related to the KB acquisition added approximately $6.5 million in non-interest expenses. Compensation and employee benefits combined to drive over half of the increase over the same quarter of the prior year, driven largely by acquisition-related growth in FTEs and higher incentive compensation, while the majority of other non-interest expense categories also saw significant increases for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of last year.

General highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020:

Bancorp completed its acquisition of KB during the second quarter. At the time of acquisition, KB had approximately $1.3 billion in assets, $755 million in loans (including PPP), $396 million in AFS debt securities and $1.0 billion in deposits.

Net income totaled $50.1 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $2.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a 12% increase over $1.81 for the same period of 2020.

The nine months ended September 30, 2021 include four months of activity associated with the KB acquisition, which contributed approximately $11.2 million in net interest income, $4.3 million in non-interest income and $8.8 million in non-interest expense (excluding one-time merger related expenses). In addition, one-time merger related expenses totaling $19.0 million (including $525,000 related to the pending Commonwealth acquisition) and credit loss expense on the acquired loan portfolio of $7.4 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Net interest income increased $8.1$25.2 million, or 24%25%, for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, as PPP forgiveness activity accelerated fee recognition and strong growth in the non-PPP loan portfolio bothattributed to the acquisition and organic and through acquisition,production drove a $6.6$20.0 million, or 18%, increase in total interest income. Further, a $1.5$5.2 million, or 49%53%, decrease in interest expense was driven by the lowering of deposit rates in tandem with FRB interest rate actions to levels at or below those offered during the Great Recession, , where thethey remained as of JuneSeptember 30, ,2021.2021.

 

NIM increased 9decreased 11 bps to 3.36%3.29% for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to 3.27%3.40% for the same period in 2020. Despite the continued erosion of yields on earning assets attributed to the FRB lowering the FFTR a total of 150 bps in March 2020, as a result of elevatednet interest income increased $25.3 million, or 25%, driven by both accelerated fee recognition associated PPP income associated with forgiveness activity and lowering deposit rates to levels at or below those offered duringsubstantial growth in the Great Recession, where they remain as of June 30, 2021. Both periods reflected the full effects of the FRB loweringnon-PPP loan portfolio. These rate drops drove the FFTR to a range of 0%-0.25% and Prime to 3.25% last year,, where both respectively remained as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. The five-year treasury rate and one-month LIBOR tumbled in tandem with these cuts as well, and while the five-year treasury has staged a recovery over the first halfnine months of 2021, it remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Given the timing of the cuts, the full effects of the dramatically lower interest rate environment were not felt in the first quarter of last year, benefiting NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of this year.

 

Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $995 million,$1.1 billion, or 35%40%, compared to JuneSeptember 30, 2020, $7262020. While loans totaling $722 million were added on May 31, 2021 as a result of which was attributedthe KB acquisition (excluding PPP), strong organic growth also contributed to the acquisition.substantial increase. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $466$549 million, or 16%19%, for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, $232$329 million of which was attributed to the acquisition. While increases were experienced in most loan segments between June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, growth over the period was highlighted by the CRE and Residential Real Estate portfolios.

Deposit balances have remained elevated for several quarters and finished at record levels as of June 30, 2021. PPP funding, multiple federal stimulus packages and general economic uncertainty surrounding the pandemic have led to customers holding higher levels of liquidity.

 

Total non-interest income increased $3.2 million, or 25%, for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. While the quarter benefitted from one month of activity related to the acquisition, which totaled approximately $1.3 million, record levels were experienced across most non-interest revenue streams, highlighted by growth in WM&T income and increases in card income and Treasury management fees.

69

Non-interest expenses increased $24.8 million, or 106%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, driven by merger expenses of $18.1 million and one month of activity related to the acquisition, totaling approximately $2.4 million. Further, growth in FTEs, increased technology-related expenses associated with expanded data storage and the hosted core system, as well as an early termination penalty relating to paying off FHLB advances during the quarter also contributed the increase over the three months ended June 30, 2020.

General highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020:

As noted in the section above, Bancorp’s acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. was completed during the second quarter.

Net income totaled $26.9 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $1.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a 3% decrease over $1.17 for the same period of 2020. Significant factors affecting the results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 include:

The adoption of CECL (ASC 326) effective January 1, 2020 and subsequent pandemic-related developments, such as elevated unemployment and historic declines in line of credit utilization amidst the evolving pandemic drove elevated provisioning for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. While a cumulative net benefit of $4.7$6.3 million was recorded for credit losses on loans and off balance sheet credit exposures during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 as a result generally improving CECL model factors, including a substantiallyan improved unemployment forecast, a provision of $7.4 million was recorded in relation to the acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares.

o

Net interest income increased $13.4 million, or 20%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, as PPP forgiveness activity accelerated fee recognition and strong growth in the non-PPP loan portfolio, both organic and through acquisition, drove a $9.2 million, or 13%, increase in total interest income. Further, a $4.2 million, or 57%, decrease in interest expense was driven by the lowering of deposit rates in tandem with FRB interest rate actions to levels at or below those offered during the Great Recession, where the remained as of June 30 ,2021.

NIM decreased 9 bps to 3.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.47% for the same period in 2020. Despite a $13.4 million, or 20%, increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, which was driven largely by accelerated fee recognition associated PPP forgiveness activity, yields on earning assets have eroded consistent with the FRB lowering the FFTR a total of 150 bps in March 2020 in response to the pandemic. These rate drops drove the FFTR to a range of 0%-0.25% and Prime to 3.25%, where both respectively remained as of June 30, 2021. The five-year treasury rate and one-month LIBOR tumbled in tandem with these cuts as well, and while the five-year treasury has staged a recovery over the first six months of 2021, it remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Given the timing of the cuts, the full effects of the dramatically lower interest rate environment were not felt in the first quarter of last year, benefitting NIM for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of this year.

Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $995 million, or 35%, compared to June 30, 2020, $726 million of which was attributed to the acquisition. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $277 million, or 10%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, $117 million of which was attributed to the acquisition. While increases were experienced in most loan segments between June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, growth over the period was highlighted by the CRE and Residential Real Estate portfolios.

Net Interest Income - Overview

 

As is the case with most banks, Bancorp’s primary revenue sources are net interest income and fee income from various financial services provided to customers. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities. Loan volume and interest rates earned on those loans are critical to overall profitability. Similarly, deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits directly impact profitability. New business volume is influenced by economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence and competitive conditions within the marketplace.

NIM and net interest spread calculations above exclude the sold portion of certain participation loans. These sold loans are recorded on Bancorp’s balance sheet as required by GAAP because Bancorp retains some form of effective control; however, Bancorp receives no net interest income on the sold portion. These participation loans sold are excluded from analysis, as Bancorp believes it provides a more accurate depiction of the performance of its loan portfolio.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, Bancorp’s loan portfolio was composed of approximately 72%71% fixed and 28%29% variable rate loans, with the fixed rate portion pricing (excluding(including PPP loans) generally based on a spread to the five-year treasury curve at the time of origination and the variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately 56%66%) or one-month LIBOR (approximately 44%34%). Excluding PPP loans, Bancorp’s loan portfolio at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was composed of approximately 69% fixed and 31% variable rate loans, respectively.

 

Benchmark rates such as the five-year treasury and one-month LIBOR currently remain well below pre-pandemic levels and as a result, the average interest rate environment experienced for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was substantially lower than that experienced for the same periods of 2020.

With 56%66% of the variable rate loan portfolio tied to Prime and the majority with floor rates of 4.00%, short-term rates would have to increase over 75 bps for these loans to move above their floor rates given Prime is at 3.25% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Beyond potential ongoing pricing pressure/competition and the absolute low level of rates, the current economic outlook and prospects of a sustained low-rate environment continues to pose challenges regarding potential ongoing NIM compression.

 

Net Interest Income (FTE) Three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to JuneSeptember 30, 2020

 

Net interest spread and NIM were 3.29%3.08% and 3.36%3.14%, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to 3.10%3.13% and 3.27%3.26% for the same period in 2020, respectively. NIM during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was significantly impacted by the following:

 

 

A sustained low interest rate environment, driven by the lowering of the FFTR in mid-MarchMarch 2020 to a range of 0% - 0.25%, which resulted in Prime dropping to 3.25%, where it remained as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

PPP originations, which began in the second quarter of 2020 and continued through expiration of the program on May 31, 2021, as well as the related forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on these loans and continues to have a significant effect on NIM. The PPP portfolio contributed a 14 bps benefit to NIM during the third quarter of 2021, as a result of the forgiveness-driven fee recognition. By comparison, the PPP portfolio had a negative impact of 12 bps on NIM for the third quarter of 2020 due to the large amount of originations that occurred over the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 and the effect that these low-yielding, 1% stated rate notes had on NIM for that period.

Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed approximately 26 bps of NIM compression for the three months ended September 30, 2021. By comparison, excess balance sheet liquidity contributed approximately 11 bps of NIM compression for the same period of 2020. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment.

Substantial balance sheet growth, both organic and acquisition-related, which resulted in total average earning asset growth of $1.6 billion, or 40%, and average interest-bearing liability growth of $987 million, or 38%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. Approximately $1.0 billion of average earning asset growth and $800 million of interest-bearing liability growth was attributed to the acquisition for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020.

The lowering of deposit rates in tandem with FRB interest rate actions and beyond to levels at or below rates offered during the Great Recession, where they remained as of September 30, 2021.

71

Net interest income increased $11.9 million, or 35%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, largely as a result of acquisition-related activity, but also driven in part by strong organic loan growth and substantial investment in the AFS debt securities portfolio.

Total average interest earning assets increased $1.6 billion, or 40%, to $5.8 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of 2020, with the average rate earned on total interest earning assets contracting 26 bps to 3.24%.

Average total loan balances increased $729 million, or 21%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. Average non-PPP loan growth of $1.1 billion, or 39%, was driven by $738 million of acquisition-related growth and strong organic growth, which was partially offset by a $360 million, or 56%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as forgiveness activity has accelerated in 2021.

Average AFS debt securities grew $593 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. While approximately $288 million of this growth was attributed to the acquisition, Bancorp has invested $325 million in the AFS debt securities portfolio in 2021, as a means of deploying excess liquidity.

Total interest income increased $10.9 million, or 30%, to $47.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of 2020.

Interest and fee income on loans increased $9.5 million, or 28%, to $43.4 million and the yield on the total loan portfolio increased 21 bps to 4.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, attributed largely to fee income associated with the PPP portfolio.

Supplemental Information - Average Balance Sheets and Interest Rates (FTE)

 

 

Average loan balances include the principal balance of non-accrual loans, as well as unearned income such as loan premiums, discounts, fees/costs and exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings. Participation loans averaged $5 million and $9$8 million for the three monththree-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $7 million and $8 million for the six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

 

Interest income on a FTE basis includes additional amounts of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the same after-tax income. Interest income on municipal securities and tax-exempt loans has been calculated on a FTE basis using a federal income tax rate of 21%. Approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were $77,000$160,000 and $45,000$73,000 for the three monththree-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $126,000$286,000 and $92,000$165,000 for the six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

 

Interest income includes loan fees of $6.2$4.1 million ($5.6 million associated with the PPP) and $2.4 million ($2.1 million associated with the PPP) for the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $12.2 million ($11.13.7 million associated with the PPP) and $2.8 million ($2.12.5 million associated with the PPP) for the six monththree-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $16.3 million ($14.9 million associated with the PPP) and $5.6 million ($4.6 million associated with the PPP) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest income on loans may be impacted by the level of prepayment fees collected and accretion related to purchased loans.

 

 

Net interest income, the most significant component of Bancorp's earnings, represents total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net interest income is determined by mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.

 

 

NIM represents net interest income on a FTE basis as a percentage of total average interest earning assets.

 

 

Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference between taxable equivalent rates earned on total interest earning assets less the cost of interest bearing liabilities.

 

 

The fair market value adjustment on investment securities resulting from ASC 320, Investments  Debt and Equity Securities is included as a component of other assets.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

 

Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to neutralize effects of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity with the goal of optimizing net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity needs, market opportunities and customer requirements.

 

Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis

 

Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of an immediate change in interest rates on earnings in a one-year forecast. The simulation model is designed to reflect dynamics of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. By estimating effects of interest rate fluctuations, the model can approximate interest rate risk exposure. This simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a specific change in interest rates at a given point in time. The model is therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios and may not indicate actual or expected results.

 

Bancorp’s interest rate simulation sensitivity analysis details that increases in interest rates of 100 and 200 bps would have a negative effect on interest income, respectively. These results are attributed to over half of the variable rate loan portfolio being currently at or near floor rates, as these yields will not increase until short-term rates exceed these floor rates. For example, a significant portion of the variable rate loan portfolio is tied to Prime, with floor rates of 4.00%. Given Prime is at 3.25% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, short-term rates would have to increase over 75 bps for these loans to move above their floor rates.

 

The slight decrease in net interest income in the rising rate scenarios is primarily due to variable rate loans and short-term investments repricing slower than deposits and short-term borrowings. Asset balances subject to immediate repricing cause an estimated decline in net interest income in the down 100 bps scenario, as rates on non-maturity deposits cannot be lowered sufficiently to offset declining interest income. These estimates are summarized below.

Bancorp’s loan portfolio is currently composed of approximately 72%71% fixed and 28%29% variable rate loans, with the fixed rate portion pricing (excluding(including PPP loans) generally based on a spread to the five-year treasury curve at the time of origination and the variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately 56%66%) or one-month LIBOR (approximately 44%34%). Bancorp’s loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was composed of approximately 69% fixed and 31% variable rate loans with the fluctuation in the C&I portfolio driving down variable rate percentage over the past year.loans.

 

Periodically, Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated derivative instruments and are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other non-interest income as interest rates fluctuate. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on earnings, and are therefore not included in the simulation analysis results above. For additional information, see the footnote titled “Assets and Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value.

 

In addition, Bancorp uses derivative financial instruments as part of its interest rate risk management, including interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges as described in the footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments.” For these derivatives, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of OCI, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods in which the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings.

The ACL onfor loans totaled $59$57 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $52 million at December 31, 2020, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.41%1.35% and 1.47% for those periods, respectively. The ACL to total loans (excluding PPP loans) was 1.55%1.43% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to 1.74% at December 31, 2020. Based on the 100% SBA guarantee of the PPP loan portfolio, which totaled $377$231 million (net of unamortized deferred fees) at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and $550 million at December 31, 2020, Bancorp did not generally reserve generally for potential losses for these loans within the ACL. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

 

Upon adoption of ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020, Bancorp recorded an increase of $8.2 million to the ACL onfor loans and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings, net of the DTA impact. In addition, non-accretable yield marks of $1.6 million related to formerly classified PCI loans were reclassed between the amortized cost basis of loans and corresponding ACL, which were subsequently charged-off in the third quarter of 2020 with no resulting impact to provision expense. The adjustment upon adoption of ASC 326 raised the ACL onfor loans balance to $37 million on January 1, 2020.

 

Provision for credit losses on loans totaled $4.7 million and $3.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, representing decreases of $853,000, or 15%, and $7.6 million, or 68%, compared to the same periods of 2020. Due to continued improvement in the unemployment forecast, updates to Bancorp’s CECL modeling and strong historic credit metrics, benefits (excluding acquisition-related activity) of $2.7$1.0 million and $3.9$4.9 million were recorded for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.2021, respectively. Offsetting these improvements however,the reduction for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, was credit loss expense on loans associated with the non-PCD loan portfolio added as a result of the KB acquisition, which was recorded during the second quarter and totaled $7.4 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021. While the acquisitionmillion.

The activity noted above drove provision for credit loss expense on loans fordecreases of $5.4 million and $13.0 million compared to the three and six monthsame periods ended June 30, 2021,of 2020. The significantly higher expense recorded for the same periodsthree and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was the result of 2020 stemmed from the adoptionadopting of CECL effective January 1, 2020 and the subsequent pandemic-related developments experienced in the first halfthree quarters of last year, including2021, particularly elevated unemployment.unemployment forecasts.

In addition to the provision activity noted above for the first nine months of 2021, the ACL for loans was also increased $6.8 million as a result of the PCD loan portfolio added through the KB acquisition during the second quarter, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). Partially offsetting this increase was net charge off activity of $1.9 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, serving to reduce the ACL for loans. Net charge off activity for 2021 has been highlighted by the charge off of two CRE relationships totaling $4.4 million, as the charged off amounts were fully reserved and had no income statement impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, in addition to a $555,000 recovery of a note that was fully charged off in 2020.

 

Provision for credit losses on loans at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 represents the amount of expense that, based on Management’s judgment, is required to maintain the ACL onfor loans at an appropriate level under the CECL model. The determination of the amount of the ACL onfor loans is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. See the footnote titled “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for detailed discussion regarding Bancorp’s ACL methodology by loan segment in this document and Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In addition to loan provisioning recorded through the first six months of 2021, the ACL on loans was also increased $6.8 million as a result of the PCD loan portfolio added through the KB acquisition, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). Partially offsetting these increases were net charge offs totaling $2.7 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, which served to decrease the overall ACL on loans. Net charge offs for the period were driven by the charge off of $3.1 million relating to a CRE relationship that was fully reserved for in 2020 (and thus had no 2021 income statement impact) and partially offset by a $555,000 recovery on a note acquired in the 2019 KSB acquisition that had been fully allocated for in 2019 and charged off in 2020.

While separate from the ACL onfor loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL onfor off balance sheet credit exposures experienced a decrease between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Net benefits were recorded for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively, as nearly all applicable loan segments experienced declines in their reserve loss percentage consistent with generally improving model factors and improvement in line of credit utilization was experienced during the second quarter of 2021.utilization. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures stood at $4.8$4.3 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $5.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

 

Bancorp’s loan portfolio is diversified with no significant concentrations of credit. Geographically, most loans are extended to borrowers in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis and Cincinnati metropolitan markets. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored on an ongoing basis and it is the opinion of management that the balance of the allowance at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the financial statement date.

WM&T Services:

 

The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size. WM&T revenue increased $1.1$1.5 million, or 20%26%, and $1.2$2.6 million, or 10%15%, for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020, respectively. The stockStock market appreciation, noted above, coupled with record net new business development, drove the substantial revenue increases for these periods. WM&T income of $122,000$333,000 and $455,000 was recorded in relation to the KB acquisition for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

Recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market value of AUM and are typically assessed on a monthly basis. Recurring fees, which generally comprise the vast majority of WM&T revenue, increased $1.1$1.3 million, or 19%23% and $1.5$2.8 million, or 14%17% for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020. The increases for the three and sixnine month periods stem from significant stock market appreciation experienced in addition to both organic and acquisition-related growth in net new business.

 

A portion of WM&T revenue, most notably executor insurance and somecertain employee benefit plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues corresponds with the related administrative activities. For this reason, such fees are subject to greater period over period fluctuation. Total non-recurring fees increased $37,000, or 37%,$180,000 and decreased 372,000, or 56%,$192,000, for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020. The increase for the three monththree-month period is attributed to estate fees recorded during the secondthird quarter of 2021, while the large decrease for the sixnine month period was driven by a large estate fee recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

 

AUM, stated at market value, totaled $4.4$4.5 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 2021compared2021 compared with $3.2$3.4 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and $3.9 billion at December 31, 2020. The large increase in AUM between JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021 is attributed mainly to significant stock market appreciation experienced in addition to growth in net new business and AUM of $235$250 million added through the KB acquisition.

 

Contracts between WM&T and their customers do not permit performance basedperformance-based fees and accordingly, none of the WM&T revenue is performance based. Management believes the WM&T department will continue to factor significantly in Bancorp’s financial results and provide strategic diversity to revenue streams.

The preceding table demonstrates that WM&T fee revenue is concentrated within investment advisory and personal trust accounts. WM&T fees are predominantly based on AUM and tailored for individual/company accounts and/or relationships with fee structures customized based on account type and other factors with larger relationships paying a lower percentage of AUM in fees. For example, recurring AUM fee structures are in place for investment management, irrevocable trusts, revocable trusts, personal investment retirement accounts and accounts holding only fixed income securities. Company retirement plan services can consist of a one-time conversion fee with recurring AUM fees to follow. While there are also fee structures for estate settlements, income received is often non-recurring in nature. Fee structures are agreed upon at the time of account opening and any subsequent revisions are communicated in writing to the customer. Fees earned are not performance-based nor are they based on investment strategy or transactions.

Additional Sources of Non-interest income:

 

Deposit service charges, which consist of non-sufficient funds charges and to a lesser extent, other activity based charges, increased $433,000,$770,000, or 54%77%, and $94,000,$864,000, or 5%28%, for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020, respectively. Deposit service charge income of $260,000 was added forThese increases were attributed largely to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 as a result ofcontribution associated with the KB acquisition.acquisition, however, the prior year periods were also negatively impacted by the pandemic. Consistent with the industry, customer behavior and transaction volume have been impacted by the pandemic and continued government efforts to minimize its impact on the economy, such as stimulus payments, PPP funding and more lucrative unemployment compensation. Deposit balances have remained at or near record levels for several months as a result, which has in turn led to fewer overdrawn accounts. These trends have significantly exacerbated the industry-wide decline in the volume of fees earned on overdrawn checking accounts experienced over the past several years. While Bancorp has experienced notable improvement since first experiencing significant pandemic-related declines in transaction volume in April 2020, Management is not able to predict when, or if, this revenue stream will return to pre-pandemic levels.

 

Debit and credit card income consists of interchange revenue, ancillary fees and incentives received from card processors. Debit and credit card revenue increased $1.2$1.7 million, or 59%75%, and $1.5$3.2 million, or 37%51%, for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020, as a result of increased transaction volume and continued expansion of the customer bases. In addition, debitbases, both organically and through acquisition-related activity. Debit and credit card revenue totaling $415,000of approximately $1.1 million and $1.5 million was added for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 as a result of the KB acquisition. Total debit card income increased $839,000,$1.2 million, or 55%81%, and $1.1$2.3 million, or 38%53%, and total credit card income increased $382,000,$449,000, or 71%63%, and $447,000,$896,000, or 37%46%, for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared the same periods of the prior year.

 

Treasury management fees primarily consist of fees earned for cash management services provided to commercial customers. This category continues to stand out as a consistent, growing source of revenue for Bancorp and increased $481,000,$403,000, or 39%29%, and $737,000,$1.1 million, or 29%, for the three and sixnine month periods ending JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020, respectively. New product sales and expansion of its customer base have helped Bancorp’s Treasury Management department overcome challenges presented by the pandemic. Demand for Bancorp’s treasury products has increased during the pandemic, as these products allow customers to operate more efficiently in a decentralized environment. In addition, sales efforts involving existing customers has led to increases in online services, reporting, ACH origination, remote deposit and fraud mitigation services during the first halfthree quarters of 2021. Bancorp anticipates this income category will continue to increase based on continued customer base growth and the expanding suite of services offered within Bancorp’s treasury management platform. Treasury management income associated with the KB acquisition was immaterial for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021.

 

Mortgage banking income primarily includes gains on sales of mortgage loans and loan servicing income offset by MSR amortization. Bancorp’s mortgage banking department predominantly originates residential mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market, primarily to FNMA. Interest rates on the mortgage loans sold are locked with the borrower and investor prior to loan closing, thus Bancorp bears no interest rate risk related to loans held for sale. Bancorp offers conventional, VA and FHA financing for purchases and refinances, as well as programs for first-time homebuyers. Interest rates on mortgage loans directly influence the volume of business transacted by the mortgage-banking department. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $319,000,$1.1 million, or 20%54%, and increased $279,000,$785,000, or 11%18%, for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020, respectively. Mortgage banking revenue of $262,000approximately $330,000 and $592,000 was added for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 as a result of the KB acquisition.

Sustained low long-term rates have incentivized refinancing and purchasing The following activity which has resulted in elevatedalso influenced mortgage banking income over the past year. Including the gain on sale earned, Bancorp sold $56 million and $142 million loans during the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2021 compared to $65 million and $97 million for the same periods of 2020, respectively. Bancorp expects volume to normalize over time, as the pool of potential customers who have yet to refinance shrinks and interest rates rise above the absolute low levels experienced over the past year.noted above:

 

Sustained low long-term rates have incentivized refinancing and purchasing activity, which has resulted in elevated mortgage banking income over the past year. Including the gain on sale earned, Bancorp sold $46 million and $188 million loans during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 compared to $94 million and $191 million for the same periods of 2020, respectively. Bancorp expects volume to continue normalizing as the pool of potential customers who have yet to refinance shrinks, general housing inventory remains limited and interest rates rise above the absolute low levels experienced over the past year.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Bank elected to retain a select portion of FNMA qualified secondary market single family residential real estate loan production from the mortgage banking department on balance sheet in an effort to deploy a portion of excess liquidity in lieu of buying mortgage-backed securities within the AFS debt securities portfolio. Continuing into 2021, approximately $53 million in 15 and 30 year fixed rate loans yielding approximately 2.88% were retained in the first six months of 2021 as part of this strategy, forgoing approximately $1.9

Net investment product sales commissions and fees are generated primarily on stock, bond and mutual fund sales, as well as wrap fees on brokerage accounts. Wrap fees represent charges for investment programs that bundle together a suite of services, such as brokerage, advisory, research and management and are based on a percentage of assets. Bancorp deploys its financial advisors primarily through its branch network via an arrangement with a third party broker-dealer, while larger managed accounts are serviced by Bancorp’s WM&T Department. Net investment product sales commissions and fees increased $154,000,$349,000, or 39%81%, and $152,000,$501,000, or 18%39%, for the three and sixnine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as compared with the same periods of 2020, respectively. Net investment product sales commissions and fees associated with the KB acquisition totaled $59,000approximately $239,000 and $298,000 for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

 

BOLI assets represent the cash surrender value of life insurance policies on certain keyactive and non-active employees who have provided consent for Bancorp to be the beneficiary for a portion of such policies. The related change in cash surrender value and any death benefits received under the policies are recorded as non-interest income. This income serves to offset the cost of various employee benefits. BOLI income increased $30,000,$103,000, or 17%60%, and $12,000,$115,000, or 3%22%, for the three and sixnine month periods ending JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Total loans increased $675$658 million, or 19%, from December 31, 2020 to JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Loans totaling2021, driven by the addition of $755 million were added as a result ofin loans associated with the KB acquisition, with outstandingacquisition. Loan balances attributed to the acquired loan balances ending at $742portfolio and related market grew to $763 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, resulting largely from forgiveness activity inand while organic growth was also strong for the acquirednine months ended September 30, 2021, significant forgiveness-related contractions was experienced within the PPP portfolio.portfolio between December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021.

 

Excluding the loan portfolio acquired through the KB acquisition, loan contraction of $68$97 million, or 2%3%, was experienced between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021, as significantthe aforementioned forgiveness activity resulted in PPP portfolio balances declining $189$319 million, or 34%58%, during the first sixnine months of 2021. Partially offsetting the large decline in PPP balances was organic growth $110of $221 million, or 8%7%, and $35over half of which, or $118 million, or 9%,was attributed to strong loan production within the CRE and residential real estate portfolios, respectively. Solid loan production for the first six months of 2021 drove the increase for the CRE portfolio, whileportfolio. Further, the strategic retention of a portion of qualified secondary market single family residential real estate loan production from the mortgage banking department drove the increase forand gradually improving line of credit utilization helped drive growth of $55 million and $41 million in the residential real estate portfolio.and C&I line of credit portfolios, respectively, over the first nine months of 2021.

 

While showing some improvement atimproving for the end of the secondthird straight quarter, line of credit usage remained depressedwell below pre-pandemic levels through the first sixnine months of 2021, as the availability of the more favorable PPP lending facility continued to disparage utilization until the program expired on May 31, 2021. Overall, total line of credit usage did increase to 39.2%40.6% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to 38.0% at December 31, 2020 and 38.6%37.0% at JuneSeptember 30, 2020, but usage remains well below historical norms, particularly within the C&I portfolio. C&I line of credit usage2020.

 

PPP loans of $377$231 million ($389239 million gross of unamortized deferred fees and costs) were outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2021, including $17$12 million ($16 million gross of unamortized deferred fees and costs) added as a result ofattributed to the KB acquisition. Bancorp has $11.6$8 million in net unrecognized fees related to the PPP as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, which would be recognized immediately once the loans are paid off or forgiven by the SBA. The timing of such forgiveness is expected to have a major impact on operating results for the remainder of 2021 and into early to mid-2022.

Bancorp originated $637 million PPP loans ($657 million gross of unamortized fees and costs) as part of round one of the program, which expired in August of 2020. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, 82%96% of the dollars originated in round one have been forgiven and $54 million is in process of being forgiven (equating to future total forgiveness of 92%).forgiven. In addition, approximately 95%99% of the $19.6 million in fee income received for round one originations has been recognized life to date. These borrowers are required to begin making payments in July, which will likely further accelerate forgiveness submissions in the coming months.

Bancorp originated $250 million ($261 million gross of unamortized deferred fees and costs) as part of round two of the PPP program, which expired May 31, 2021. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, 3%24% of the dollars originated have been forgiven and 11%34% of the fees received for the second round of the program have been recognized life to date. As second round borrowers are not required to make payments for 16 months, it is probable that a significant portion of the borrowing base will seek forgiveness in early to mid-2022 in connection with tax return preparation.

 

In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and in response to requests from borrowers who experienced business interruptions related to the pandemic, Bancorp extended payment deferrals for those affected borrowers. Depending on the demonstrated need of the customer, Bancorp deferred either the full loan payment or the principal-only portion of respective loan payments for 90 or 180 days for some borrowers directly impacted by the pandemic. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 outstanding full payment loan deferrals totaled $8 million,$355,000, representing 0.21%0.01% of the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans), down from $37 million, or 1.24% of total loans (excluding PPP loans), at December 31, 2020.

 

Bancorp’s credit exposure is diversified with secured and unsecured loans to individuals and businesses. No specific industry concentration exceeds 10% of loans outstanding. While Bancorp has a diversified loan portfolio, a customer’s ability to honor contracts is somewhat dependent upon the economic stability and/or industry in which that customer does business. Loans outstanding and related unfunded commitments are primarily concentrated within Bancorp’s current market areas, which encompass Louisville, Kentucky, central and eastern Kentucky, Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

Bancorp occasionally enters into loan participation agreements with other banks to diversify credit risk. For certain participation loans sold, Bancorp has retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the participating institutions from pledging or selling their ownership share of the loan without permission from Bancorp. GAAP requires the participated portion of these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings. These participated loans are included in the C&I and CRE loan portfolio segments with a corresponding liability recorded in other liabilities. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total participated portion of loans of this nature totaled $5 million and $10 million, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The ACL onfor loans is a valuation allowance for loans estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with GAAP. When Bancorp deems all or a portion of a loan to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL when received. See the footnote titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion of Bancorp’s ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ACL onfor loans is available for any loan that, in Bancorp’s judgment, should be charged-off.

Bancorp’s ACL onfor loans was $59$56.5 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $52$51.9 million as of December 31, 2020. The change in the ACL onfor loans was driven by a number of competing factors, which resulted in the $7.5$4.6 million, or 14%9%, increase experienced for the first sixnine months of 2021. Acquisition-related activity was responsible for a total increase to the ACL onfor loans of $14$14.2 million, comprised of a $7$6.8 million day one adjustment for specific reserves placed on acquired PCD loans (offset to goodwill) and $7$7.4 million of provision expense related to the remaining acquired non-PCD loan portfolio. Partially offsetting the acquisition-related increases was a net reduction of the ACL onfor loans of $3.9$4.9 million for the first sixnine months of 2021 stemming from a normalizedan improved unemployment forecast, and general improvement in other underlying CECL model factors compared to recent periods.periods and updates to Bancorp’s CECL model. Further reducing the ACL onfor loans were net charge offs of $2.7$4.6 million for the period, which were driven by the charge off of $3.1 million relating totwo CRE relationships totaling $4.4 million. Both relationships were fully reserved and had no income statement impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Partially offsetting these charge offs was a CRE relationship$555,000 recovery of a note that was fully reserved for in 2020 (and thus had no 2021 income statement impact), which was partially offset by a $555,000 recovery on a note acquired in the 2019 KSB acquisition that had been charged off in 2020.

The FRB’s Seasonally Adjusted National Civilian Unemployment Rate is the primary loss driver within Bancorp’s CECL model and has steadily improved over the past several months after spiking to 14.8% in April of 2020, standing at 5.9%4.8% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. The pandemic has had a material impact on Bancorp’s quarterly ACL onfor loans calculations. While Bancorp has not yet experienced credit quality issues resulting in charge-offs related to the pandemic, the ACL onfor loans calculation and resulting credit loss expense is significantly impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Should the forecast for economic conditions worsen, Bancorp could experience further increases in its required ACL onfor loans and record additional credit loss expense. While the execution of payment deferrals under the CARES ACT has assisted credit quality ratios, it is possible that asset quality could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of the pandemic are prolonged.

 

While separate from the ACL onfor loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also experienced a decrease between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021. A net benefit was recorded for provision for credit losses onfor off balance sheet exposures during the first sixnine months of 2021, as nearly all applicable loan segments experienced declines in their reserve loss percentage consistent with generally improving model factors and continued improvement in line of credit utilization was experienced during the second quarter of 2021.utilization. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures stood at $4.8$4.3 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $5.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

Total deposits increased $1.3$1.4 billion, or 32%34%, from December 31, 2020 to JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Deposits totaling $1.0 billion were assumed as a result of the KB acquisition. Deposit balances attributed to the acquired portfolio and related market decreased slightly to $995 million as of September 30, 2021. Excluding the deposits acquired through the KB acquisition, deposits grew $251$358 million, or 6%9%, during the first sixnine months of 2021, with non-interest bearing balances representing $203 million ofvirtually the entire increase. Average deposit balances have increased $908$688 million, or 27%28%, over the past 12 months, as federal programs such as the PPP, stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits drove both ending and average deposit balances to record levels as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 in addition to deposits added as a result of the acquisition, which contributed $112$448 million of the average balance increase.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

 

SSUARs are collateralized by securities and are treated as financings; accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the securities are reflected as liabilities. All securities underlying the agreements are under the Bank’s control. The majority of SSUARs are indexed to immediately repricing indices such as the FFTR.

 

SSUARs totaled $64$74 million and $48 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as SSUAR totaling $11 million were assumed as part of the KB acquisition. The remaining increase in SSUAR is consistent with the general trend of customers maintaining elevated deposit balances.

 

FHLB Advances

 

FHLB advances decreased $22 million, or 68%, between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021 due to maturing advances not being renewed or replaced in addition to elective pay offs. During the first quarter of 2021, $4 millionBancorp elected to pay down certain advances were paid off prior to maturity without penalty.incurring pre-payment penalties. During the second quarter of 2021, Bancorp paid off $14 million of term advances, with a weighted average cost of 2.03%, prior to their maturity incurring an early-termination fee of $474,000. Bancorp based this decision on its excess liquidity position driven by the substantial deposit growth it achieved during 2020 and the first half of 2021, combined with the then near-term outlook for low interest rates. Bancorp believes it will substantially “earn back” the early termination penalty through lower interest expense over the next two years assuming short-term interest rates remain at current low levels.

 

As a result of the KB acquisition, FHLB advances totaling $91 million were assumed and paid off immediately upon acquisition based on lack of necessity and current levels of excess liquidity. Early termination penalties totaling $2.5 million were incurred as a result of the payoffs, but had no income statement impact for the three and six monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 due to the fair value adjustment recorded through goodwill at acquisition.

 

Liquidity

 

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by short-term assets that can be converted to cash, AFS debt securities, various lines of credit available to Bancorp, and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally deposits. Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than market rate.

 

95

Bancorp’s Asset/Liability Committee is comprised of senior management and has direct oversight responsibility for Bancorp’s liquidity position and profile. A combination of reports provided to management details internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, and exposure to contingent draws on Bancorp’s liquidity.

 

Bancorp’s most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, FFS and AFS debt securities. FFS and interest bearing deposits totaled $482$500 million and $275 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The large increase in FFS and interest bearing deposits experienced over the first sixnine months of 2021 is attributed largely to PPP forgiveness activity, as cash received for the forgiveness of these notes has outpaced efforts to invest cash through the typical avenues,investments, such as loan production and AFS debt security purchases. FFS normally have overnight maturities while interest-bearing deposits in banks are accessible on demand. These investments are used for general daily liquidity purposes.

 

The fair value of the AFS debt security portfolio was $1.0$1.1 billion and $587 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The $420$483 million, or 72%82%, increase experienced over the first sixnine months of 2021 is attributed to the KB acquisition and the strategic, aggressive growth of portfolio through security purchases in an effort to deploy excess liquidity. The portfolio includes maturities of $35$30 million and cash flows on amortizing AFS debt securities of approximately $218$220 million (based on assumed prepayment speeds as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021) expected over the next twelve months. Combined with FFS and interest bearing deposits from banks, AFS debt securities offer substantial resources to meet either loan growth or reductions in Bancorp’s deposit funding base. Bancorp pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public funds, cash balances of certain WM&T accounts and SSUAR. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, total investment securities pledged for these purposes comprised 67%64% of the AFS debt securities portfolio, leaving approximately $331$383 million of unpledged AFS debt securities.

Bancorp has a large

Bancorp’s deposit base consists mainly of core customer deposits, defined as time deposits less than or equal to $250,000, demand, savings, money market deposit accounts and excludes public funds and brokered deposits. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, such deposits totaled $5.1$4.8 billion and represented 97%89% of Bancorp’s total deposits, as compared with $3.9$3.5 billion, or 98%89% of total deposits at December 31, 2020. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often tied to other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships, they do not place undue pressure on liquidity. However, many of Bancorp’s individual depositors are currently maintaining historically high balances. These excess balances may be more sensitive to market rates, with potential decreases possibly straining Bancorp’s liquidity position.

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Bancorp held brokered deposits totaling $49$4 million and $25 million, respectively, the increase resulting from brokeredall of which is attributed to deposits added as a result ofthrough the KB acquisition.

 

Included in total deposit balances at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 are $535$499 million in public funds generally comprised of accounts with local government agencies and public school districts in the markets in which Bancorp operates, including public funds deposits totaling $187 million added as a result of the KB acquisition. Bancorp consider these to be long-term relationships.At December 31, 2020, public funds deposits totaled $355 million.

 

Bancorp is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a member of the FHLB, Bancorp has access to credit products of the FHLB. Bancorp views these borrowings as a potential low cost alternative to brokered deposits. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, available credit from the FHLB totaled $875$892 million and $804 million, respectively. The increase in available credit over the first sixnine months of 2021 is due to increasesan increase in both eligible loans (those pledged for collateral-based borrowing capacity), the eligibility factor used by FHLB (used to calculate collateral-based borrowing capacity) and the payoff of advances prior to maturity during the first halfthree quarters of 2021. See the footnote titled “FHLB Advances” for additional detail.  Additionally, Bancorp had unsecured available FFP lines with correspondent banks totaling $80 million at both JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

During the normal course of business, Bancorp enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through Bancorp’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of Bancorp’s liquidity.

 

96

Bancorp’s principal source of cash revenue is dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank. As discussed in the footnote titled “CommitmentsCommitments and Contingent Liabilities,” as of January 1st of any year, the Bank may pay dividends in an amount equal to the Bank’s net income of the prior two years less any dividends paid for the same two years. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Bank could pay an amount equal to $21$36 million in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory approval subject to ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Cash flow is provided primarily through financing activities of Bancorp, which include raising deposits and borrowing funds from institutional sources such as advances from FHLB and FFP, as well as scheduled loan repayments and cash flows from AFS debt securities. These funds are primarily used to facilitate investment activities of Bancorp, which include making loans and purchasing securities for the investment portfolio. Another important source of cash is net income of the Bank from operating activities.  For further detail regarding the sources and uses of cash, see the “ConsolidatedConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows”Flows in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Commitments

 

In the normal course of business, Bancorp is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, commitments under operating leases and long-term debt.

 

Bancorp provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Unused loan commitments increased $238$282 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020, $183 million of which was attributed tothe increase being driven by both the KB acquisition.acquisition and new lines of credit. Total average line of credit utilization improved to 39.2%40.6% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 as compared to 38.0% at December 31, 2020 and 38.6%37.0% at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. While improving over the prior quarter, depressed C&I line of credit usage has driven the dramatic decline in utilization experienced over the past year as customers took advantage of the more favorable financing provided by the PPP. For reference, C&I line of credit utilization was 29.1% as of June28.9% at September 30, 2021 compared to 26.1% at December 31, 2020 and the pre-pandemic average of 43.9%42.9% experienced in 2019.

95

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as collateral is available as agreed upon and there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, securities, equipment and real estate. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

 

The ACL onfor off balance sheet credit exposures, which is separate from the ACL onfor loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, stood at $4.8$4.3 million and $5.4 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. A net benefit of $825,000 was recorded as provision for credit losses onfor off balance sheet exposures during the first sixnine months of 2021, as nearly all applicable loan segments experienced declines in their reserve loss percentage consistent with generally improving model factors.factors as well as increased utilization, driving down available credit used to calculate exposure.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party beneficiary. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support commercial transactions. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.

 

In addition to owned banking facilities, Bancorp has entered into long-term leasing arrangements for certain branch facilities. Bancorp also has required future payments for a non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, FHLB advances and the maturity of time deposits.

Capital

 

At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, stockholders’ equity totaled $651$664 million, representing an increase of $210$223 million, or 48%51%, compared to December 31, 2020. The large increase over the first sixnine months of 2021 was attributed mainly to stock issued in relation to the KB acquisition, which totaled $205 million. Further, net income of $26.9$50 million was partially offset by a larger negative change in AOCI and dividends declared during the first sixnine months of 2021. AOCI consists of net unrealized gains or losses on AFS debt securities and hedging instruments, as well as a minimum pension liability, each net of income taxes. AOCI declined $7$11 million from December 31, 2020 to JuneSeptember 30, 2021, with the fluctuation stemming from the changing interest rate environment and corresponding valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio. See the “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity for further detail of changes in equity. 

 

In May 2021, Bancorp’s Board of Directors extended its share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 1 million shares, or approximately 4% of Bancorp’s total common shares outstanding at the time. The plan, which will expire in May 2023 unless otherwise extended or completed at an earlier date, does not obligate Bancorp to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares prior to the plan’s expiration. Based on economic developments over the past year and the increased importance of capital preservation, no shares were repurchased in 2020 nor the first sixnine months of 2021. Approximately 741,000 shares remain eligible for repurchase under the current repurchase plan.

 

Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to meet risk-based capital standards. These standards, or ratios, measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks. The value of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to reflect credit risks. See the footnote titled “Regulatory Matters” for additional detail regarding regulatory capital requirements, as well as capital ratios of Bancorp and the Bank. The Bank exceeds regulatory capital ratios required to be well-capitalized. Regulatory framework does not define well capitalized for holding companies. Management considers the effects of growth on capital ratios as it contemplates plans for expansion.

(1)    Under regulatory risk-based capital guidelines, assets and credit-equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet credit exposures are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. Weighted values are added together, resulting in Bancorp's total risk-weighted assets. These ratios are computed in relation to average assets.

 

(2)    Ratio is computed in relation to average assets.

 

Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To meet the definition of well-capitalized for prompt corrective action requirements, a bank must have a minimum 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.0% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio and 5.0% Tier 1 Leverage ratio.

 

Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be considered adequately-capitalized. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were a 6.0% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and 10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio.

98

 

Bancorp continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

 

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal banking regulatory agencies, Bancorp elected the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital related to the adoption of ASC 326 “Financial Instruments Credit Losses, or CECL, which was effective January 1, 2020. The initial impact of adoption of ASC 326, as well as 25% of the quarterly increases in the ACL subsequent to adoption of ASC 326 (collectively the “transition adjustments”) were declared to be delayed for two years. After two years, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments will become fixed and will be phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three-year period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four and 25% recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital benefits will be fully reversed. Had Bancorp not elected to defer the regulatory capital impact of CECL, the post ASC 326 adoption capital ratios of Bancorp and the Bank would have exceeded the well-capitalized level.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP to tangible stockholders’ equity, a non-GAAP disclosure. Bancorp provides the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, in addition to those defined by banking regulators, because of its widespread use by investors as a means to evaluate capital adequacy.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, equals total non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income FTE and non-interest income. The ratio excludes net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, if applicable. In addition to the efficiency ratio, Bancorp considers an adjusted efficiency ratio. Bancorp believes it is important because it provides a comparable ratio after eliminating the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses.

Net interest income on a FTE basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal, state and local taxes yielding the same after-tax income.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

On April 9, 2021,The Bank islawsuit was filed by a purported shareholder of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. (“KBI”)defendant in the Circuit Court of Bourbon County, Kentucky challenging our proposed merger with KBI.  The complaint, captioned Paul Parshall v. Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. et al. (Case No. 21-CI-00109), named as defendants KBI, the KBI board of directors, Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. and H. Meyer Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stock Yards Bancorp (“Merger Sub”).  The complaint alleged, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties as directors of KBI in connection with their consideration and approval of the proposed merger transaction and caused materially misleading and incomplete information regarding the proposed transaction to be disseminated to the KBI shareholders in violation of their fiduciary duty of disclosure.  The complaint further asserted that KBI, Stock Yards Bancorp and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by the directors of KBI in connection with the proposed transaction.  The complaint sought, among other relief, preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction unless and until KBI provided all material information to KBI shareholders to allow them to make a fully informed voting or appraisal decision with respect to the proposed transaction and adopted and implemented a procedure or process to obtain a merger agreement providing the best available terms for the KBI shareholders. Stock Yards Bancorp, KBI and the KBI board of directors believed the claims asserted in the lawsuit were without merit. On April 28, 2021, Stock Yards Bancorp and Merger Sub, with the consent of the other defendants, filed a Notice of Removal with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Central Division, to remove the case from Bourbon Circuit Court to the U.S. District Court (Case No. 5:21-CV-00108-REW) for all further proceedings.  On May 25, 2021, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with the U.S. District Court notifying the Court and the defendants that he was voluntarily dismissing the claims in this action without prejudice. The Court subsequently entered an order giving effect to the plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal and directing that the matter be struck from the Court’s docket, as dismissed.

On April 30, 2021, a lawsuit was filed by a purported shareholder of KBI in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York challenging our proposed merger with KBI.  The complaint, captioned Alex Ciccotelli v. Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. et al. (Case No. 1:21-CV-03865-LAP), named as defendants KBI, the KBI board of directors, Stock Yards Bancorp and Merger Sub.  The complaint alleged, among other things, that the individual defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder by disseminating a proxy statement/prospectus to the shareholders of KBI in connection with the proposed transaction that contained material misstatements and omissions and that KBI was liable as the issuer of those statements.  The complaint further asserted that the individual defendants and Stock Yards Bancorp were liable for the alleged misstatements and omissions in the proxy statement/prospectus by virtue of their actions as controlling persons of KBI within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act.  The complaint sought, among other relief, preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the proposed transaction, an order directing the individual defendants to disseminate a proxy statement/prospectus that does not contain any material misstatements or omissions and, in the event defendants consummated the proposed transaction, an award of rescissionary damages.  Stock Yards Bancorp, KBI and the KBI board of directors believed the claims asserted in the lawsuit were without merit. On August 2, 2021, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.

Bancorp and the Bank are defendants in various other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. There is no such proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of management, threatened in which an adverse decision could result in a material adverse change in the business or consolidated financial position of Bancorp or the Bank.

Effective May 22, 2019, Bancorp’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 1 million shares, or approximately 4% of Bancorp’s total common shares outstanding at the time. Stock repurchases are expected to be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to applicable securities laws. The plan, which was extended in May 2021 and will expire in May 2023 unless otherwise extended or completed at an earlier date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares prior to the plan’s expiration. No shares were repurchased in 2020, nor through the first quarternine months of 2021. Management does not intend to resume repurchasing in the near-term. Approximately 741,000 shares remain eligible for repurchase.
