CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our plans, strategies and expectations, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our future financial results, near-term loan growth, net interest margin, mortgage banking profits, wealth management fees, expenses, asset quality, capital levels, continued earnings, and liquidity. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "anticipate," "project," "plan" or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or prospects include, but are not limited to:

the strength of the local, state, national and international economies (including effects of inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints);
the economic impact of any future terrorist threats and attacks, widespread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States), acts of war or other threats thereof (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine), or other adverse external events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets, and the response of the local, state and national governments to any such adverse external events;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (including the Company’s adoption of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology);
changes in state and federal laws, regulations and governmental policies concerning the Company’s general business and any changes in response to the recent failures of other banks;
changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Company’s assets (including the impact of LIBOR phase-out);
increased competition in the financial services sector, including from non-bank competitors such as credit unions and “fintech” companies, and the inability to attract new customers;
changes in technology and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems;
unexpected results of acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated;
the loss of key executives or employees;
changes in consumer spending;
unexpected outcomes of existing or new litigation involving the Company;
the economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, floods and blizzards;
fluctuations in the value of securities held in our securities portfolio;
concentrations within our loan portfolio, large loans to certain borrowers, and large deposits from certain clients;
the concentration of large deposits from certain clients who have balances above current FDIC insurance limits and may withdraw deposits to diversify their exposure;
the level of non-performing assets on our balance sheets;
interruptions involving our information technology and communications systems or third-party servicers;
breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents;
our asset quality and any loan charge-offs;
the composition of our loan portfolio;
the effects of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin, our investments, our loan originations, and our modeling estimates relating to interest rate changes;
our access to sources of liquidity and capital to address our liquidity needs;
our inability to receive dividends from the Bank, pay dividends to our common stockholders or satisfy obligations as they become due;
the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions;
our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth and the composition of such growth;
our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new or enhanced products and services;
current and future business, economic and market conditions in the United States (“U.S.”) generally or in the States of Illinois and Iowa in particular;
the geographic concentration of our operations in the States of Illinois and Iowa;

1

Table of Contents

our ability to attract and retain customer deposits;
our ability to maintain the Bank’s reputation;
possible impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets;
our prior status as an S corporation;
possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations;
the effectiveness of our risk management and internal disclosure controls and procedures;
market perceptions associated with certain aspects of our business;
our ability to meet our obligations as a public company, including our obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
damage to our reputation from any of the factors described above;
our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items; and
the factors discussed in “Risk Factors”, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange (“SEC”) Commission on March 8, 2023.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

HBT Financial, Inc. (“HBT Financial” or the “Company”) is headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois and is the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company (“Heartland Bank” or the “Bank”). The Bank provides a comprehensive suite of business, commercial, wealth management and retail banking products and services to individuals, businesses, and municipal entities throughout Illinois and Eastern Iowa. Additionally, the Company is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, of HBT Financial, Inc. (the Company), formerly known as Heartland Bancorp, Inc. until the Company name was changed on September 13, 2019, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)in the U.S. (“GAAP”) interim reporting requirements. Certain information in footnote disclosuredisclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.SEC. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s prospectusAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)SEC on October 11, 2019.

The Company’s principal business activity is banking, conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Heartland Bank and Trust Company (Heartland Bank) and State Bank of Lincoln (Lincoln Bank). Heartland Bank and Lincoln Bank are collectively referred to as “the Banks”.

On September 13, 2019, the Company effected a twenty-for-one stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and its issued and outstanding shares of Series A nonvoting common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the stock split.March 8, 2023.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Initial Public Offering

On September 13, 2019, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 10, 2019. The Company issued and sold 9,429,794 shares of common stock at a price of $16 per share pursuant to that Registration Statement. Total proceeds received by the Company, net of offering costs, were approximately $138 million. The proceeds were used to fund a $170 million special dividend, or $9.43 per share, to shareholders of record prior to the initial public offering.

The Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act)(“JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act permits emerging growth companies an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company may remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, which is December 31, 2024, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company has $1.235 billion or more in annual revenues, (3) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or (4) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three year period, issued, publicly or privately, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period until the Company is no longer an emerging growth company or until the Company chooses to affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.GAAP. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported results of operations for the periods then ended.

Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

credit losses and fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations.

Income Taxes

Through October 10, 2019, the Company, with the consent of its stockholders, elected to be taxed under sections of federal and state income tax law as an "S Corporation" which provides that, in lieu of Company income taxes, except for state replacement and franchise taxes, the stockholders separately account for their pro rata shares of the Company’s items of income, deductions, losses and credits. As a result of this election, no income taxes, other than state replacement and franchise taxes, have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. No provision has been made for any amounts which may be advanced or paid as dividends to the stockholders to assist them in paying their personal taxes on the income from the Company.

Effective October 11, 2019, in connection with the initial public offering, the Company revoked its S Corporation status and became a taxable entity (C Corporation). As such, any periods prior to October 11, 2019 will only reflect an effective state income tax rate. In connection with the conversion of tax status, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.5 million, income tax benefit of approximately $3.3 million, and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $2.7 million.

The Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations for years prior to 2016.

Pro Forma Income Statement Information

The pro forma C Corp equivalent income tax expense information gives effect to the income tax expense had the Company been a C Corporation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The pro forma C Corp equivalent net income information, therefore, includes an adjustment for income tax expense as if the Company had been a C Corporation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share information is computed using the pro forma C Corp equivalent net income and weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. There were no dilutive instruments outstanding during 2019, therefore, the pro forma C Corp equivalent basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are the same.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations consist of one reportable segment called community banking.segment. The operations of the non-bank subsidiaries of the Company primarily supportCompany’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the operations of the Banks. While the Company’s management monitors both bank subsidiaries’ operationsCompany using consolidated information for purposes of allocating resources and profitability separately, these subsidiaries have been aggregated into one reportable segment due to the similarities in products and services, customer base, operations, profitability measures, and economic characteristics.assessing performance.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or stockholders’ equity.

Subsequent Events

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential of recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

(Unaudited)

On October 10, 2019, each share of Series A nonvoting common stock was reclassified and converted into one share of common stock. Additionally, the Company increased the authorized shares to 150,000,000, of which 125,000,000 shares, par value of $0.01 per share, are designated as common stock and 25,000,000 shares, par value of $0.01 per share, are designated as preferred stock.

Sale of First Community Title Services, Inc.

On February 15, 2019, the Company consummated an agreement to sell substantially all assets and liabilities of First Community Title Services, Inc. to Illinois Real Estate Title Center, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, for a combination of cash and an equity interest in Illinois Real Estate Title Center, LLC representing total consideration of approximately $498,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2019,2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance in this ASU, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee`s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard without a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016‑13, (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016‑13 requires, as amended, which replaces the measurement of allincurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, commonly referred to as the current expected credit losses for(“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets heldmeasured at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions,amortized cost, including loan receivables and reasonabledebt securities held-to-maturity. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance, such as loan commitments and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standardsletters of an organization’s portfolio.credit. In addition, ASU 2016‑13 amendsAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 made changes to the accounting for debt securities available-for-sale. One such change is to require credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities and purchasedavailable-for-sale management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2022 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $6.9 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.

The Company also adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with ASC 326, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2023, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $0.2 million to the allowance for credit losses. The remaining noncredit discount will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2023.

On January 1, 2023, the Company also adopted ASU 2016‑132022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors in ASC 310-40. This ASU also enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity will apply refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification or other form of restructuring results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 require a public business entity to disclosure current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases in the existing vintage disclosures. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value and that contractual sale restrictions cannot be recognized and measured as a separate unit of account. The amendments in this update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2021,2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. EarlyThis standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method. ASU 2022-01 replaces the current last-of-layer hedge accounting method with an expanded portfolio layer method that permits multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. The scope of the portfolio layer method is also expanded to include non-prepayable financial assets. ASU 2022-01 also provides additional guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments that are applicable to the portfolio layer method, and specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio. Amendments related to hedge basis adjustments which are included in this standard apply on a modified retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the initial application date. Amendments related to hedge basis adjustments which are included in this standard apply on a modified retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the initial application date. Amendments related to disclosure which are included in this standard may be applied on a prospective basis from the initial application date, or on a retrospective basis to each prior period presented after the date of adoption is permittedof the amendments in ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update are effective for years beginning after December 31, 2018,15, 2023, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 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. In January 2021, the FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which refined the scope for certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting to apply to derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by the discounting transition. Entities may apply the provisions as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made and are available until December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on the consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, a company should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this update are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310‑20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017‑08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017‑08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. This guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU requires use of a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 without a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017‑12 improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 without a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018‑13 removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. ASU 2018‑16 permits the use of the SOFR Overnight Index Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under ASC 815. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 without a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES

Debt Securities as shown in these consolidated financial statements reflect revised categories as required by the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016‑01 on January 1, 2018. That new guidance refined the definition of equity securities and required their segregation from debt securities available-for-sale.

While changes in the fair value of debt securities available-for-sale continue to be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), the new guidance requires changes in the fair value of equity securities to be recorded in current earnings. As required by the new guidance, the unrealized gain in fair value on equity securities (recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017) was reclassified to retained earnings on January 1, 2018. The amount of the reclassification was $122,000.

The carrying balances of the securities were as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $(128,000) adjustment to the carrying value of equity securities with no readily determinable fair value based on an observable price change of an identical investment.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2023, there were 74587 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of twelve months or more, and 36350 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than twelve months. These

U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency, and agency mortgage-backed securities are considered to have no risk of credit loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in these portfolios are considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as prepayment and liquidity risks.

Municipal securities include approximately 81% general obligation bonds as of June 30, 2023, which have a very low historical default rate due to issuers generally having taxing authority to service the debt. The remainder of the municipal securities are also of high credit quality with ratings of A+/A1 or better. The Company evaluates credit risk through monitoring credit ratings and reviews of available financial data. The changes in fair value in these portfolios are considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as call and liquidity risks. The estimated allowance for credit losses for the municipal debt securities held-to-maturity was deemed insignificant.

Corporate securities include investment grade corporate and bank subordinated debt securities. The Company evaluates credit risk through monitoring credit ratings, reviews of available financial data, and sector trends. An $0.8 million allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2023, related to one bank subordinated debt security and reflected heightened potential credit risk following the recent failures of other banks. The related provision for credit losses were $0.2 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. For the other corporate securities, the changes in fair value in these portfolios are considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as call and liquidity risks.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The discounted cash flow method is used to estimate expected credit losses for all loan categories, except for consumer loans where the weighted average remaining maturity method is utilized.

At June 30, 2023, the economic forecast used by management anticipates a mild recession starting in 2024, with the unemployment rate increasing and GDP growth slowing and then shrinking over the next 4 quarters considered in the forecast period. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to long-term averages over a 4-quarter reversion period. Additionally, management may make qualitative adjustments to the loss estimates, as necessary, to reflect other factors that influence credit losses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, all troubled debt restructurings were the result of a payment concession.

Of the troubled debt restructurings entered into during the last 12 months, there were none which had subsequent payment defaults during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers “default” to mean 90 days or more past due as to interest or principal or were on nonaccrual status subsequent to restructuring.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $9,919,000 and $13,362,000 of troubled debt restructurings, respectively. Restructured loans are evaluated for impairment quarterly as part of the Company’s determination of the allowance for loan losses. There were no material commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Changes in the accretable yield for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Past Due and Nonaccrual Status

(Unaudited)Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Typically, loans are placed on nonaccrual when they reach 90 days past due, or when, in management’s opinion, there is reasonable doubt regarding the collection of the amounts due through the normal means of the borrower. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance and we must believe that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible, before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company assigns a risk rating to all loans and periodically performs detailed internal reviews of all such loans that are part of relationships with over $750,000 in total exposure to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of the portfolio. These risk ratings are also subject to review by the Company’s regulators, external loan review, and internal loan review. During the internal reviews, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which the borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing the loans. The risk rating is reviewed annually, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan. Risk ratings are grouped into four major categories, defined as follows:

Pass – a pass loan is a credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.

Pass-Watch – a pass-watch loan is still considered a "pass" credit and is not a classified or criticized asset, but is a reflection of a borrower who exhibits credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting close attention and increased monitoring. These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. No loss of principal or interest is expected, and the borrower does not pose sufficient risk to warrant classification.

Substandard – a substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized as probable that the borrower will not pay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms.

Doubtful – a doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

FiveEight subsidiary business trusts of the Company have issued floating rate capital securities (“capital securities”) which are guaranteed by the Company. Three of these (Town and Country Statutory Trust II, Town and Country Statutory Trust III, and West Plains Investors Statutory Trust I) were acquired by the Company as part of its acquisition of Town and Country.

The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of the five subsidiary business trusts.

These junior subordinated debentures are the only assets of the trusts and the interest payments from the junior subordinated debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities. The junior subordinated debentures are unsecured and rank junior and subordinate in the right of payment to all senior debt of the Company.

TheIn accordance with GAAP, the trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

The face values and carrying valuevalues of the junior subordinated debentures are summarized as follows:

Investment Securities

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For the Company’s securities where quoted prices are not available for identical securities in an active market, the Company determines fair value utilizing vendors who apply matrix pricing for similar bonds where no price is observable or may compile prices from various sources. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace. Fair values from these models are verified, where possible, against quoted market prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security being valued. Such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However,2; however, when prices from

The change in fair value of debt securities available-for-sale is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.income (loss). The change in fair value of equity securities with readily determinable fair values is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate swap agreements are carried at fair value as determined by dealer valuation models. Based on the inputs used, the derivative financial instruments subjected to recurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 2. For derivative financial instruments designated as a hedging instruments, the change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.income (loss). For derivative financial instruments not designated as a hedging instruments, the change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company has elected to record its mortgage servicing rights at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company determines the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by estimating the fair value of the future cash flows associated with the mortgage loans being serviced as calculated by an independent third party. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of mortgage servicing rights include, but are not limited to, prepayment speeds and discount rates. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified inas Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.3. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as there is evidence of impairment or a change in the amount of previously recognized impairment.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The Company obtains quotes or bids on these loans directly from purchasing financial institutions. Typically, these quotes include a premium on the sale and thus these quotes indicate fair value of the held for sale loans is greater than cost.

Collateral-Dependent Loans

In accordance with the provisions of the loan impairment guidance, impairment was measured for loans with respect to which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is estimated based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Collateral-dependent impaired loans require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans include loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

Bank Premises Held for Sale

Bank premises held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the date classified as held for sale. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals and customized discounting criteria. The carrying value of bank premises held for sale is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value based on property appraisals, less estimated selling costs, at the date of the transfer. Subsequent to the transfer, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals and customized discounting criteria. The carrying value of foreclosed assets is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans, Bank Premises Held for Sale, and Foreclosed Assets

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans, bank premises held for sale, and foreclosed assets is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans, bank premises held for sale, and foreclosed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company considers the appraisal or a similar evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals or a similar evaluation of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans and foreclosed assets are obtained at the time a loan is first considered impaired or a loan is transferred to foreclosed assets. Appraisals or a similar evaluation of bank premises held for sale are obtained when first classified as held for sale. Appraisals or similar evaluations are obtained subsequently as deemed necessary by management but at least annually on foreclosed assets and bank premises held for sale. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by management. Appraisals are performed by individuals selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated costs to sell. These discounts and estimates are developed by management by comparison to historical results.

Other Fair Value Methods

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of its other financial instruments. There were no changes in the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Interest-bearing Time Deposits with Banks

The carrying values of interest-bearing time deposits with banks approximate their fair values.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Restricted Stock

The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans

The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts the Company believes are consistent with discounts in the market place.marketplace. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and industrial, agricultural and farmland, commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, multi-family, construction and land development, one-to-four family residential, and municipal, consumer, and other. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar maturities. The fair value analysis also includes other assumptions to estimate fair value, intended to approximate those a market participant would use in an orderly transaction, with adjustments for discount rates, interest rates, liquidity, and credit spreads, as appropriate.

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

The fair values of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are presumed to approximate carrying amounts.

(Unaudited)

Time Deposits

Fair values of certificates of deposit with stated maturities have been estimated using the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates currently offered for similar instruments. Time deposits also include public funds time deposits.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The fair values of repurchase agreements with variable interest rates are presumed to approximate their recorded carrying amounts.

Subordinated Notes

The fair values of subordinated notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on rates observed on recent debt issuances by other financial institutions.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair values of subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on rates observed on recent debt issuances by other financial institutions.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’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. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTE 1615 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments

The Banks areBank is party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Banks’Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Banks useBank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they doit does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Banks evaluateBank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the BanksBank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the BanksBank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support extensions of credit. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Banks secureBank secures the standby letters of credit with the same collateral used to secure the related loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted through a charge to provision for credit loss expense on the consolidated statements of income. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $4.1 million as of June 30, 2023.

Legal Contingencies

Various legal claims arise from time to time inIn the normal course of business, which,the Company, or its subsidiaries, are involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, willany liability resulting from pending proceedings would not be expected to have noa material adverse effect on the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements.

PLB Investments LLC, John Kuehner, and A.S. Palmer Investments LLC v. Heartland Bank and Trust Company and PNC Bank N.A., In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Case No. 1:20-cv-1023 (“Class Action”); and Melanie E. Damian, As Receiver of Today’s Growth Consultant, Inc. (dba The Income Store) v. Heartland Bank and Trust Company and PNC Bank N.A., In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Case No. 1:20-cv-7819 (“Receiver’s Action”)

The Bank was a defendant in the purported Class Action lawsuit that was filed on February 12, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiffs in the Class Action alleged that the Bank negligently enabled and facilitated a fraudulent, Ponzi-like scheme perpetrated by Today’s Growth Consultant, Inc. (dba The Income Store) (“TGC”). Additionally, the Receiver for TGC filed the Receiver’s Action on December 30, 2020, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, with similar allegations.

On February 20, 2023, the Bank reached an agreement in principle to settle both the Class Action and Receiver’s Action in which the Bank would make one-time cash payments totaling $13.0 million, without admitting fault, to release the Bank from further liability and claims in both the Class Action and Receiver’s Action. 

Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the parties would settle and dismiss the Class Action and Receiver’s Action and seek the entry of bar orders from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Court”) prohibiting any continued or future claims against the Bank and its related parties relating to the Class Action and the Receiver’s Action, whether asserted to date or not. If definitive settlement agreements, including the bar orders described in the preceding sentence, are approved by the Court and are not subject to appeal, the Bank will make one-time cash payments totaling $13.0 million.

Definitive settlement agreements reflecting the terms of the agreement in principle have been executed and notice to TGC’s investor claimants have been delivered. Motions for final, non-appealable approvals of the settlement agreements and for entry of a bar order were granted and are pending entry of final written order by  the Court (“Final Written Order”). The Class Action has been voluntarily dismissed.

The proposed settlements do not include any admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Bank, and the Bank expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing with respect to any matter alleged in the Class Action and Receiver’s Action. The Bank agreed in principle to the settlements to avoid the cost, risks and distraction of continued litigation. The Company believes the settlements are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Accordingly, the Bank had a $13.0 million accrual related to these matters as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Bank’s insurer has agreed to reimburse $7.4 million of the settlement payment which was recorded as an insurance recovery receivable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The estimated net settlement amount of $5.6 million was included in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income during the fourth quarter of 2022. The settlement payments will be made within two weeks of the date of the Final Written Order of the Court.

DeBaere, et al v. Heartland Bank and Trust Company

The Bank is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in June 2020, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The plaintiff, a customer of the Bank, alleges that the Bank breached its contract with the plaintiff by (1) charging multiple insufficient funds fees or overdraft fees on a single customer-initiated transaction, and (2) charging overdraft fees for transactions that were authorized on a positive account balance, but when settled, settled into a negative balance.

Miller, et al v. State Bank of Lincoln and Heartland Bank and Trust Company

The Bank is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in May 2020, in the Circuit Court of Logan County, Illinois. The plaintiff, a customer of State Bank of Lincoln, which previously merged with the Bank, alleges that the Bank breached its contract with the plaintiff by charging multiple insufficient funds fees or overdraft fees on a single customer-initiated transaction.

On May 15, 2023, the Bank reached an agreement in principle to settle both the DeBaere, et al and Miller, et al cases in which the Bank would make one-time cash payments totaling $3.4 million, without admitting fault, to release the Bank from further liability and claims in both the cases. If the proposed settlement agreements are approved by the Court and are not subject to appeal, the Bank will make one-time cash payments totaling $3.4 million.

The proposed settlements do not include any admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Bank, and the Bank expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing with respect to any matter alleged in the DeBaere, et al and Miller, et al cases. The Bank has agreed in principle to the settlements to avoid the cost, risks and distraction of continued litigation. The Company believes the proposed settlements are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Accordingly, the Bank had in the aggregate a $3.4 million and $2.6 million accrual related to these matters as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. An initial $2.6 million accrual was recognized in other noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting management’s best estimate at that time, and an additional $0.8 million accrual was recognized in other noninterest expense during the second quarter of 2023 following the agreement in principle to settle both the DeBaere, et al and Miller, et al cases.

Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future plans, strategies and expectations, as well as our future revenues, expenses, earnings, losses, financial performance, financial condition, asset quality metrics and future prospects. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "anticipate," "project," "plan" or similar expressions. Forward looking statements are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or prospects include, but are not limited to: our asset quality and any loan charge-offs; the composition of our loan portfolio; time and effort necessary to resolve nonperforming assets; environmental liability associated with our lending activities; the effects of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin, our investments, and our loan originations, and our modeling estimates relating to interest rate changes; our access to sources of liquidity and capital to address our liquidity needs; our inability to receive dividends from our Banks, pay dividends to our common stockholders or satisfy obligations as they become due; the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions; our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth and the composition of such growth; our ability to attract and retain skilled employees or changes in our management personnel; any failure or interruption of our information and communications systems; our ability to identify and address cybersecurity risks; the effects of the failure of any component of our business infrastructure provided by a third party; our ability to keep pace with technological changes; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new or enhanced products and services; current and future business, economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in Illinois in particular; the geographic concentration of our operations in the State of Illinois; our ability to effectively compete with other financial services companies and the effects of competition in the financial services industry on our business; our ability to attract and retain customer deposits; our ability to maintain our Banks' reputations; possible impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets; the impact of, and changes in applicable laws, regulations and accounting standards and policies; our prior status as an S Corp; possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations; the effectiveness of our risk management and internal disclosure controls and procedures; market perceptions associated with certain aspects of our business; the one-time and incremental costs of operating as a standalone public company; our ability to meet our obligations as a public company, including our obligations under Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley; and damage to our reputation from any of the factors described above, in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

42

These risks and uncertainties, as well as the factors discussed under "Risk Factors," should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

The Company's business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United StatesU.S. and more directly in the Illinois and Iowa markets where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include the general economic conditions in the U.S. and in the Company's markets (including the effect of inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints), unemployment rates, real estate markets, and interest rates.

Interest Rates

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. Net interest income equalsis equal to the excess of interest income earned on interest earning assets (including discount accretion on purchased loans plus certain loan fees) over interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The level of interest rates as well as the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearinginterest-bearing liabilities both impact net interest income. These factors areNet interest income is also influenced by both the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and market interest rates.

43

The cost of our deposits and short-term wholesale borrowings is largely based on short-term interest rates, which are primarily driven by the Federal Reserve Board’sFRB’s actions. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically driven by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are set by the market and, to some degree, by the Federal Reserve Board’sFRB’s actions. The level ofOur net interest income is therefore influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur. During 2019, overallGenerally, we expect increases in market interest rates started to decline. The Federal Open Markets Committee lowered Federal Funds target rates for the first time in 11 years on July 31, 2019 and then again in September 2019 and October 2019, for a combined decrease of 75 basis points, which we expect to continue to put downwards pressure onwill increase our net interest margin. In general, we believe that rate increases will lead to improvedincome and net interest marginsmargin in future periods, while rate decreases will result in lowermarket interest rates may decrease our net interest margins.income and net interest margin in future periods.

Credit Trends

We focus on originating loans with appropriate risk / risk/reward profiles. We have a detailed Loan Policyloan policy that guides our overall loan origination philosophy and a well-established loan approval process that requires experienced credit officers to approve larger loan relationships. Although we believe our loan approval process and credit review process is a strengthprocesses are strengths that allowsallow us to maintain a high qualityhigh-quality loan portfolio, we recognize that credit trends in the markets in which we operate and in our loan portfolio can materially impact our financial condition and performance and that these trends are primarily driven by the economic conditions in our markets.

Competition

Our profitability and growth are affected by the highly competitive nature of the financial services industry. We compete with community banks in all of our markets and, to a lesser extent, with money center banks, primarily in the Chicago MSA. Additionally, we compete with non-bank financial services companies, FinTechs and other financial institutions operating within the areas we serve. We seek to meet our competitioncompete by emphasizing personalized service and efficient decision-making tailored to individual needs. We do not rely on any individual, group, or entity for a material portion of our loans or our deposits. Recently, we have seen increasedWe continue to see significant competitive pressurespressure on loan rates and terms, and increased competition for deposits. Continued loan andas well as deposit pricing, pressurewhich may affect our financial results in the future.

Digital Banking

Throughout the banking industry, in-person branch traffic is expected to continue to decline as more customers turn to digital banking for routine banking transactions. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transition, and in-person branch traffic is not expected to return to pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, widespread adoption of faster payment and instant payment technologies could require us to substantially increase our expenditures on technology infrastructure, increase our regulatory compliance costs, and adversely impact the stability of our deposit base. We plan to continue investing in our digital banking platforms, while maintaining an appropriately sized branch network. An inability to meet evolving customer expectations, with the appropriate level of security, for both digital and in-person banking may adversely affect our financial results in the future.

Regulatory Environment /and Trends

We are subject to extensivefederal and state regulation and supervision, which continue to evolve as the legal and regulatory framework governing our operations continues to change. The current operating environment also has heightened supervisory expectationsincludes extensive regulation and supervision in areas such as consumer compliance, the BSABank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance, risk management and internal audit. We anticipate that this environment of heightened scrutinyextensive regulation and supervision will continue for the industry. As a result, of these heightened expectations, we expect to incurchanges in the regulatory environment may result in additional costs for additional compliance, risk management and audit personnel or professional fees associated with advisors and consultants.

S Corp StatusJOBS Act Accounting Election

PriorWe qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company may remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, which is December 31, 2024, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company withhas $1.235 billion or more in annual revenues, (3) the consent of its stockholders,date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act or (4) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three year period, issued, publicly or privately, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities.

Effective October 11, 2019, in connection with the initial public offering, the Company revoked its S Corporation status and became a taxable entity (C Corporation). As such, any periods prior to October 11, 2019 will only reflect an effective state income tax rate. In connection with the conversion of tax status, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.5 million, income tax benefit of approximately $3.3 million, and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately  $2.7 million.

The following table illustrates the impact of being taxed as a C Corporation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

The C Corp equivalent effective rates reflect a U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 on corporate federal taxable income. The C Corp equivalent rates also reflect Illinois Corporate Income and Corporate Replacement tax rates of 7.00% and 2.50%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Public Company Costs

Following the completion of the initial public offering, the Company expects to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, hiring additional personnel, enhancing technology and expanding capabilities. The Company expects that these costs will include legal, regulatory, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that were not incurred as a private company. Sarbanes-Oxley and rules adopted by the SEC, the FDIC and national securities exchanges require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable as a private company.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192023 to the Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182022

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2023, net income was $17.4$18.5 million, decreasingincreasing by $0.2$4.4 million, or 0.9%31.2%, from the three months ended September 30, 2018. Netwhen compared to net income declined primarily due to a $0.8 million decline in the mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment and a charge of $0.8 million associated with the termination of the supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) included in the employee benefits expense, offset by increases in net interest income as a result of increases in asset yields. Provision expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 was $0.6 million lower than2022. Notable changes include the provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018.following:

A $14.5 million increase in net interest income, primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets and the increase in average interest-earning assets following the Town and Country merger;
Town and Country acquisition-related expenses totaled $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2023 which were not present in the second quarter of 2022 results;
Excluding Town and Country acquisition-related expenses, noninterest expense increased by $9.5 million primarily due to the addition of Town and Country’s operations as well as $0.8 million of legal fees and a $0.8 million accrual related to pending legal matters previously disclosed and incurred during the second quarter of 2023 which were not present in the second quarter of 2022 results. Settlements have been reached with plaintiffs in these matters which are now pending final court approval; and
A $1.4 million increase in noninterest income, primarily attributable to the Town and Country merger with a $0.6 million increase in mortgage servicing income, a $0.2 million increase in card income, and a $0.1 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Comparison of the NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192023 to the NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182022

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2023, net income was $50.8$27.7 million, decreasing by $1.1 million, or 2.1%, fromnearly unchanged when compared to net income for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. Net income declined primarily due to a decline in2022. Notable changes include the mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment of $3.3 million and a charge of $4.2 million associated with the termination of the SERP included in the employee benefits expense, offset by increases in net interest income as a result of increases in asset yields. Provision expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.5 million higher than the provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.following:

A $29.4 million increase in net interest income, primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets and the increase in average interest-earning assets following the Town and Country merger;
Town and Country acquisition-related expenses totaled $13.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, including the recognition of an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans of $5.2 million and an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $0.7 million through provision for credit losses;
Realized losses on sales of securities totaled $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as the vast majority of the securities acquired from Town and Country were sold with the sales proceeds used to reduce FHLB borrowings; and
Excluding Town and Country acquisition-related expenses, noninterest expense increased by $14.1 million primarily due to the addition of Town and Country’s operations as well as $0.8 million of legal fees and a $0.8 million accrual related to pending legal matters previously disclosed and incurred during the second quarter of 2023 which were not present in the 2022 results. Settlements have been reached with plaintiffs in these matters which are now pending final court approval.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income equals the excess of interest income on interest earning assets (including discount accretion on acquired loans)loans plus fees earned on interest earning assetscertain loan fees) over interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate spread and net interest margin are utilized to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. The net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, principally noninterest-bearing demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, also support interest-earning assets.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table sets forth the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate), and changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of

50

this table, changes attributable to both volume and rate that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

AsIn March 2022, the chart above illustrates, net interest margin rose throughout 2018, peaked in the first quarter of 2019, and then declined in the second and third quarters of 2019. During 2019, overall market interest rates started to decline. The Federal Open Markets Committee lowered Federal Funds(“FOMC”) raised the target ratesrange for the federal funds rate to 0.25% to 0.50%, the first timerate hike since December 2018. Since March 2022, the FOMC has raised the target range for the federal funds rate several times, setting the target range for the federal funds rate to 5.25% to 5.50% at the July 2023 meeting.

As a result, market interest rates have also risen since March 2022 which has led to improvements in 11 years on July 31, 2019our net interest margin compared to the first half of 2022. These increases in market interest rates have also increased competition for deposits. As a result, deposit and then againfunding costs have increased during 2023 compared to such costs in September 20192022, and October 2019, for a combined decrease of 75 basis points which we expect such costs to continue to put downwards pressure on our net interest margin.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers past and current loss experience, evaluations of collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance. The provision for loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology we use to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted.

The provision for loan losses was $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in specific reserves on loans individually evaluated for impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to an increase during the three months ended September 30, 2018,remainder of 2023. Additionally, core deposits balances may decrease and be replaced by higher cost funding sources, such as net charge-offs were comparable between the periods. The provision for loan losses was $3.3 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increasing primarily due to slightly higher net charge-offs and a larger increase in specific reserves on loans individually evaluated for impairment over the respective nine month periods.FHLB advances, brokered deposits, or other wholesale funding.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192023 to the Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182022

The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. The negative provision for credit losses primarily reflects a $1.1 million decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans; a $1.1 million increase in required reserves driven by growth of the loan portfolio and unfunded commitments; a $0.4 million decrease in required reserves resulting from changes in economic factors; a $0.2 million increase in reserves on debt securities available-for-sale, related to one bank subordinated debt security; and net recoveries of $0.1 million.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

In connection with the Town and Country merger, we recognized an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans of $5.2 million and an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $0.7 million. Excluding the impact of the Town and Country merger, the remaining provision for credit losses primarily reflects a $1.3 million decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans; the establishment of an allowance for credit losses of $0.8 million on debt securities available-for-sale, related to one bank subordinated debt security; and net recoveries of $0.2 million.

Credit losses are highly dependent on current and forecast economic conditions. Potential deterioration of economic conditions may lead to higher credit losses and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. The economic forecasts utilized in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and related unfunded commitments include the unemployment rate and changes in GDP as macroeconomic variables, although other economic metrics are considered on a qualitative basis.

Total noninterest income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 decreased by $0.82023, was $9.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 9.8%15.9%, to $7.6 million from $8.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a $0.8 million larger decline2022. Notable changes in noninterest income include the mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment and a $0.3 million decrease in title insurance activity driven byfollowing:

A $0.6 million increase in mortgage servicing revenue, primarily due to the addition of the Town and Country servicing portfolio which nearly doubled the size of our existing mortgage servicing portfolio;
A $0.2 million change in the mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment, primarily due to changes in prepayment assumptions utilized in the valuations;
A $0.2 million increase in card income, mostly attributable to debit card activity on deposit accounts acquired from Town and Country; and

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 increased by $0.42023, was $34.0 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 1.7%42.5%, to $22.3 million from $21.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to a $0.7 million increase2022. Notable changes in employee benefits driven by a $0.8 million charge duringnoninterest expense include the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the termination of the SERP. This increase was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in both FDIC insurance expense and in marketing and customer relations expense.following:

Routine salary increases were offset by a reduction in employee count as a result of the sale of First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance during the first quarter of 2019. Salaries expense for First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. There was no salaries expense for First Community Title Services, Inc. or HBT Insurance during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Town and Country acquisition-related noninterest expenses totaled $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023;
Excluding Town and Country acquisition-related expenses, the $9.5 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to the addition of Town and Country’s operations, primarily related to personnel costs, occupancy of bank premises, and data processing; and
Legal fees of $0.8 million and accruals of $0.8 million related to pending legal matters previously disclosed were incurred during the second quarter of 2023 which were not present in the second quarter of 2022 results. Settlements have been reached with plaintiffs in these matters which are now pending final court approval.

The increase is primarily due to a $3.6 million increase2022. Notable changes in employee benefits driven by a $4.2 million charge related tononinterest expense include the termination of the SERP. This increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in occupancy of bank premises expense driven by sales of bank premises held for sale, reducing real estate holding costs. FDIC insurance expense and furniture and equipment expense both also decreased by $0.3 million.following:

Routine salary increases were offset by a reduction in employee count as a result of the sale of First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance during the first quarter of 2019. Salaries expense for First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance was $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Town and Country acquisition-related noninterest expenses totaled $7.8 million, including $3.6 million in salaries, $2.0 million in  data processing, and $2.0 million in legal, professional, and other noninterest expenses;
Excluding Town and Country acquisition-related expenses, the $14.1 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to the addition of Town and Country’s operations, primarily related to personnel costs, occupancy of bank premises, and data processing; and
Legal fees of $0.8 million and accruals of $0.8 million related to pending legal matters previously disclosed were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 which were not present in the 2022 results. Settlements have been reached with plaintiffs in these matters which are now pending final court approval.

Income Taxes

The Company has historically been taxed under sections of federal and state tax law as an "S corporation" which provides that with the exception of certain state replacement and franchise taxes, current stockholders account separately for their share of the Company’s income, deductions, losses and credits. For additional information, see “Factors Affecting Comparability of Financial Results: S Corp Status”.

ForDuring the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192023 and 2018,2022, we recorded income tax expense of $0.3$6.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.2%, and $0.2$4.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.6%, respectively. ForDuring the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192023 and 2018,2022, we recorded income tax expense of $0.8$9.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.5%, and $0.6$9.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.8%, respectively. The fluctuations in effective tax rate are primarily attributable to changes in the proportion of federally tax-exempt interest income to pre-tax income.

Total assets were $3.17$4.98 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2019, a decrease2023, an increase of $83.0$689.1 million, or 2.6%16.1%, from December 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease2022. Notable changes in our consolidated balance sheet include the securities portfolio. This decrease was partially offset by increases in the loan portfolio from organic loan growth.following:

The Town and Country merger added $905.6 million in total assets, $635.4 million in loans held for investment, and $720.4 million in deposits;
Following the Town and Country merger, $145.8 million of the securities acquired from Town and Country were sold with the sales proceeds used to reduce FHLB borrowings; and
Excluding the impact of the Town and Country merger, total deposits decreased $142.9 million primarily attributable to decreases in balances held in existing retail and business accounts partially offset by a seasonal increase in public fund account balances and the addition of $51.0 million of brokered deposits.

Total deposits were $2.70 billion at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $91.9 million, or 3.3%, from December 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in higher cost deposit categories such as time deposits and in interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases in money market accounts. Total equity was $348.9 million at September 30, 2019, an increase of $8.5 million, or 2.5%, from December 31, 2018 due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income from increases in fair values of securities available-for-sale.

Loan Portfolio

The Company focuses on originating loans with appropriate risk / reward profiles. The Company has a detailed Loan Policy that guides the overall loan origination philosophy and a well-established loan approval process that requires experienced credit officers to approve larger loan relationships. The Company also has an active Credit Department that underwrites and prepares annual reviews for larger and more complex loan relationships.

55

Management monitors credit quality closely with a series of monthly reports and a quarterly Credit Committee meeting where performance and trends within the loan portfolio are reviewed. Portfolio diversification at the borrower, industry, and product levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management includes an independent loan review process that assesses compliance with loan policy, compliance with loan documentation standards, accuracy of the risk rating and overall credit quality of the loan portfolio.

Excluding the impact of organic growth. Growth was concentrated in the commercial real estate - non owner occupiedTown and multi-family categories offset by declines inCountry merger, total loans decreased $11.0 million, or 0.4%, with the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate - owner occupied, and construction and land development categories. The $26.3 million decrease in the construction and land development category was primarily the result of a few construction projects that were completed and the properties sold during the three months ended September 30, 2019.following notable changes:

The decrease in construction and land development loans was generally driven by the completion of a number of sizeable projects that are now amortizing and have been moved into other real estate loan categories, with the largest being a $29.5 million project that moved to the commercial real estate - non-owner occupied category;
The increase in commercial and industrial loans was driven by new loan fundings and the purchase of two pools of loans totaling $37.0 million. One pool includes equipment finance loans purchased from a bank that originated the loans through its equipment finance division. These loans are to borrowers across multiple industries and geographic regions. The other pool is a 50% participation in a pool of loans originated by a financial services company with a long-standing history of originating loans to healthcare and professional service borrowers. These loans are to borrowers across multiple geographic regions; and
A $12.4 million substandard relationship in the commercial real estate - non-owner occupied category paid off during the second quarter of 2023.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans consist of all loans past due 90 days or more or on nonaccrual. Nonperforming assets consist of all nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets. Typically, loans are placed on nonaccrual when they reach 90 days past due, or when, in management’s opinion, there is reasonable doubt regarding the collection of the amounts due through the normal means of the borrower. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance and we believe that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible, before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. Management believes the Company's lending practices and active approach to managing nonperforming assets has resulted in timely resolution of problem assets.

Total nonperforming assets were $25.6 million at September 30, 2019, a decrease from $34.8$10.6 million at June 30, 2019, due primarily to payoffs and paydowns of nonperforming loans during the quarter. However, nonperforming assets at September 30, 2019 were comparable to $25.52023, increasing by $5.4 million atsince December 31, 2018.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In general, if the Company grants a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) that involves either the absence of principal amortizationsubstandard loans decreased $1.1 million, or a material extension of an existing loan amortization period in excess of our underwriting standards, the loan will be placed on nonaccrual status. However, if a TDR is well secured by an abundance of collateral and the collectability of both interest and principal is probable, the loan may remain on accrual status. A nonaccrual TDR in full compliance with the payment requirements specified in the loan modification for at least six months may return to accrual status, if the collectability of both principal and interest is probable. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment.

Net

*      Annualized measure.

The Company has continuedincrease in average deposits balances in 2023 compared to deemphasize2022 are primarily attributable to the Town and Country merger which added $576.8 million of non-maturity deposits and $143.6 million in time deposits on February 1, 2023. Recent increases in market interest rates have increased competition for deposits. As a result, we expect  deposit costs to increase during 2023, relative to 2022, and core deposits balances may decrease. Additionally, outgoing core deposits may be replaced by higher cost deposit categories,funding sources, such as time deposits. Comparatively, the Company's non-maturityFHLB advances, brokered deposits, have remained more stable, with recent growth in the money market category primarily due to a special rate offered on new accounts.or other wholesale funding.

In addition, dividends paid by athe Bank to the Holding Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause athe Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Holding Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term cash obligations. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Bank paid $15.0 million and $6.0 million in dividends to the Holding Company, respectively.

The Company seeks to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The actualCompany and requiredBank are each subject to various regulatory capital amountsrequirements administered by federal and ratiosstate banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Banks are listed below. Management believed that, as of September 30, 2019, the Company and the BanksBank.

In addition to meeting minimum capital requirements, the Company and the Bank must also maintain a “capital conservation buffer” to avoid becoming subject to restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the capital conservation buffer requirement was 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which wethey were subject. As of that date,those dates, the Banks wereBank was “well capitalized” under the regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.

83

The following table sets forth actual capital ratios of the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated, as well as the minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes with the capital conservation buffer, and the minimum ratios to be well capitalized under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions. For additional information, see “Note 14 – Regulatory Matters” to the consolidated financial statements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As a financial services provider, the BanksBank routinely areis a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit, and commitments to sell loans.loans, and interest rate swaps. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process afforded to loans originated by the Banks. Although commitments to extend credit are considered in determining our allowance for loan losses, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no provision for losses on commitments to extend credit, and there were no specific or general allowance for losses on such commitments, as there has been no historical loss experience with commitments to extend credit and no probable and reasonably estimable losses were inherent in the portfolio as a result of the commitments to extend credit.Bank. For additional information, see “Note 1615 – Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and other funding needs as disclosed in our prospectus filed with the SEC on October 11, 2019.84

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company has established various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates are those that are critical to the portrayal and understanding of the Company'sCompany’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make assumptions that are difficult, subjective or complex. These estimates involve judgments, assumptions and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending on the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition or materially different results of operations is a reasonable likelihood. Further, changes in accounting standards could impact the Company'sCompany’s critical accounting estimates. The following accounting estimates could be deemed critical:

There have been no material changesAllowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses reflects an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. Measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses which is charged to our critical accounting policies and estimates as comparedexpense. Additions to the critical accounting policiesallowance for credit losses are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance for credit losses. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines the loan balance to be uncollectible. Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance for credit losses.

Management uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan categories, except for consumer loans where the weighted average remaining maturity method is utilized. The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and estimates describedpeer data to determine which macroeconomic variables are most closely correlated with credit losses, such as the unemployment rate and changes in GDP. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable third party to inform its economic forecasts with a reversion to historical averages for periods beyond a reasonable and supportable forecast period.

Nonaccrual loans and loans which do not share risk characteristics with other loans in the Company's prospectus filed with the SECpool are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses on October 11, 2019. For more information, please refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements includedunfunded commitments is estimated in the Company's prospectus filed withsame manner as the SECassociated loans adjusted for anticipated funding rate.

Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair value on October 11, 2019.the acquisition date. Estimating such fair values may require highly subjective assumptions or the use of a valuation specialist. In the Town and Country acquisition, the fair value for loans was most significant estimate and relatively small changes in assumptions used in this estimate could result in a materially different conclusion.

The fair value for loans was based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered credit loss and prepayment expectations, market interest rates and other market factors, such as liquidity, from the perspective of a market participant. Loan cash flows were generated on an individual loan basis. The probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default, and prepayment assumptions are key factors in this analysis.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q10-Q contains certain financial information determined by methods other than those in accordance with GAAP. These measures include net interest income (tax-equivalent basis), net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis), efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis), tangible common equity, tangible assets,

66

tangible common equity to tangible assets, originated loans and acquired loans and any ratios derived therefrom,  core deposits, core deposits to total deposits, return on tangible common equity, adjusted C Corp equivalent net income, adjusted C Corp equivalent earnings per share – basic and diluted, adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average assets, adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average stockholders’ equity, and adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average tangible common equity. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the related GAAP financial measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a federal tax rate of 21% and state income tax rate of 9.5%.

Originated loans and acquired loans along with the related credit quality ratios such as net charge-offs to average loans (originated and acquired), nonperforming loans to total loans (originated and acquired), and nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed assets (originated and acquired) are non-GAAP financial measures. Originated loans represent loans initially originated by the Company and acquired loans that were refinanced using the Company’s underwriting criteria. Acquired loans represent loans originated under the underwriting criteria used by a bank that was acquired by Heartland Bank or Lincoln Bank. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information regarding the credit quality of loans underwritten using the Company’s policies and procedures.

Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present these non-GAAP financial measures, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP; nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directlyclosely comparable GAAP financial measures appear below.

How the Measure Provides Useful Information to Investors

Adjusted Net Income

Net income, with the following adjustments:
-
excludes acquisition expenses,
-
excludes branch closure expenses,
-
excludes charges related to termination of certain employee benefit plans,
-
excludes net earnings (losses) from closed or sold operations,
-
excludes realized gains (losses) on sales of closed branch premises,
-
excludes realized gains (losses) on sales of securities,
-
excludes mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment, and
-
the income tax effect of these pre-tax adjustments.
Enhances comparisons to prior periods and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.
We also sometimes refer to ratios that include Adjusted Net Income, such as:
-
Adjusted Return on Average Assets, which is Adjusted Net Income divided by average assets.
-
Adjusted Return on Average Equity, which is Adjusted Net Income divided by average equity.
-
Adjusted Earnings Per Share - Basic, which is Adjusted Net Income allocated to common shares divided by weighted average common shares outstanding.
-
Adjusted Earnings Per Share – Diluted, which is Adjusted Net Income allocated to common shares divided by weighted average common shares outstanding, including all dilutive potential shares.

Net Interest Income (Tax Equivalent Basis)

Net interest income adjusted for the tax-favored status of tax-exempt loans and securities. (1)

We believe the tax equivalent basis is the preferred industry measurement of net interest income.
Enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.
We also sometimes refer to Net Interest Margin (Tax Equivalent Basis), which is Net Interest Income (Tax Equivalent Basis) divided by average interest-earning assets.

Efficiency Ratio (Tax Equivalent Basis)

Noninterest expense less amortization of intangible assets divided by the sum of net interest income (tax equivalent basis) and noninterest income. (1)
Provides a measure of productivity in the banking industry.
Calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue.
(1)Tax-equivalent basis assuming a federal income tax rate of 21% and a state tax rate of 9.5%.

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets

Tangible Common Equity is total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.
Tangible Assets is total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.
Generally used by investors, our management, and banking regulators to evaluate capital adequacy.
Facilitates comparison of our earnings with the earnings of other banking organization with significant amounts of goodwill or intangible assets.
We also sometimes refer to ratios that include Tangible Common Equity, such as:
-
Tangible Book Value Per Share, which is Tangible Common Equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding.
-
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity, which is net income divided by average Tangible Common Equity.
-
Adjusted Return on Average Tangible Common Equity, which is Adjusted Net Income divided by average Tangible Common Equity.

Core Deposits

Total deposits, excluding:
-
Time deposits of $250,000 or more, and
-
Brokered deposits
Provides investors with information regarding the stability of the Company’s sources of funds.

(1)The Company has granted certain restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents. Such restricted stock units are considered participating securities. As such, we have included these restricted stock units in the calculation of basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

(1)  On a C Corp tax-equivalent basis assuming a federal income tax rate of 21% and a state tax rate of 9.5%.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) are non-GAAP financial measures that adjust for the tax-favored status of net interest income from loans and investments using a federal tax rate of 21% and state income tax rate of 9.5%. We believe net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) are the preferred industry measurement of net interest income, and these non-GAAP financial measures enhance comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income and net interest margin.

Efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis) provides a measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis using a federal tax rate of 21% and a state income tax rate of 9.5%.

(1)

Reflects adjustment to our historical net income for each period to give effect to the C Corp equivalent provision for income tax for such period.

Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures generally used by investors to evaluate capital adequacy. We calculate: (i) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets; (ii) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, (iii) tangible common equity to tangible assets as the ratio of tangible common equity (as described in clause (i)) to tangible assets (as described in clause (ii)). Adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average stockholders’ equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by dividing adjusted C Corp equivalent net income for a period by average stockholders' equity for the period.  Adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by dividing adjusted C Corp equivalent net income for a period by average tangible common equity for the period.  We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, and the related ratios such as adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average stockholders’ equity and adjusted C Corp equivalent return on average tangible common equity, are important information to be provided to investors because investors, our management, and banking regulators can use the tangible book value in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to assess our capital adequacy without the effect of our goodwill and core deposit intangible assets and compare our capital adequacy with the capital adequacy of other banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill and/or core deposit intangible

ITEM 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our most prominent risk exposures are interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due and is disclosed in detail above.

Interest Rate Risk

TheOur most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates.  Management believes that our ability to successfully respond to changes in interest rates will have a significant impact on our financial results. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate exposure.

The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO)(“ALCO”), which is authorized by the Company’s board of directors, monitors our interest rate sensitivity and makes decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.

We monitor the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and economic value of equity or EVE,(“EVE”) using rate shock analysis. Net interest income simulations measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time. A decrease in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet.

The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2019, the estimated impact on our EVE and net interest income of immediate and parallel changes in interest rates at the specified levels.

This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors or changes in earning assets mix, which could reduce the actual impact on EVE and net interest income, if any.

91

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The EVE and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors.factors, which could change the actual impact on EVE and net interest income. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that borrowers or counterparties will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations in accordance with the underlying contractual terms. We manage and control credit risk in the loan and lease portfolio by adhering to well-defined underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Our loan policy documents underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits and other limits or standards deemed necessary and prudent. Portfolio diversification at the borrower, industry, and product levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management also includesincludes an independent loan review process that assesses compliance with loan policy, compliance with loan documentation standards, accuracy of the risk rating and overall credit quality of the loan portfolio.
