NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity. Results for quarterly reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2020 in the Company’s Form 10-Q will be presented under ASU 2016-13, as defined in this report, while prior quarterly period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in Cass Information System, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Cass”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Risks and Uncertainties

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization ~~(“WHO”)~~ declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. ~~The declaration of a global pandemic meant that almost all public commerce and related business activities was, to varying degrees, curtailed with~~While the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. In late fiscal 2020, vaccines for combating COVID-19 were approved by health agencies and have been administered throughout the country. Although vaccination efforts have been widespread and continuing, and a significant amount of previous business and other restrictions have been lifted, the continued impact of COVID-19 ~~including any increases in~~is significantly lessened from March 2020, the ~~infection rates, new variants, and renewed governmental action to slow the spread of COVID-19 cannot be estimated. The~~ ongoing impact, including resurgences of ~~COVID-19, including~~ the ~~impact of~~virus and restrictions imposed to combat its spread, could result in additional and prolonged business closures, supply chain disruptions, work restrictions and activity restrictions.

The Company iscontinues to closely ~~monitoring~~monitor developments related to COVID-19 ~~checking regularly for updated information~~ and recommendations from the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from national, state, and local governments, and evaluating courses of action being taken by peers. At this time, the Company remains subject to heightened business, operational, market, credit and other risks ~~related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, those discussed below,~~ which may have an adverse effect on ~~business,~~its financial condition and results of operations.

~~Financial position and results of operations~~ - The global health crisis caused by COVID-19 has and will continue to negatively impact business activity throughout the world. The COVID-19 outbreak and associated counter-acting measures implemented by governments around the world, as well as increased business uncertainty and shortages in the labor force, have had, and continue to have, an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results and are discussed in more detail below.

Although many restrictions have been relaxed with some success and economic conditions have been improving, many states and localities are still experiencing moderate to high levels of COVID-19 cases, prompting continued restrictions and the need for additional aid and other forms of relief for affected individuals, businesses and other entities. When and if COVID-19 is demonstrably contained, the Company anticipates a rebound in economic activity; however, any such rebound is contingent upon the rate and effectiveness of the containment efforts deployed by federal, state, and local governments. In light of the evolving health, social, economic and business environment, governmental regulations or mandates, and business disruptions that have occurred and could continue to occur, the aggregate impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s financial condition and operating results remains uncertain.

In response to COVID-19, the Federal Reserve took action to lower the Federal Funds rate. The Federal Reserve has indicated that the target Federal Funds rate would remain at current levels until the economy is in a more stable employment and price-stability position.

To the extent the business disruption continues for an extended period, additional cost control actions will be considered. Future asset impairment charges, increases in allowance for credit losses, or restructuring charges could be more likely and will be dependent on the severity and duration of this crisis and its effect on the Company’s borrowers.

~~-8-~~

~~Table of Contents~~

For payment processing services, business closures cause a decrease in the number of transactions and dollars processed due to the decline in customers’ business activity. Other financial impact could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

~~Capital and liquidity~~ - While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by future financial losses.

The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Bank’s customers to draw down deposits, the Company might become more reliant on more expensive sources of funding.

~~Asset valuation~~ - Currently, the Company does not expect COVID-19 to affect its ability to fairly value the assets on its balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

An economic slowdown as a result of COVID-19 could cause a decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, necessitate a goodwill or intangible asset impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

~~Processes, controls and business continuity~~ - In accordance with its federally mandated Pandemic Plan and Business Continuity Plan, many Cass employees around the globe continue to work and conduct business remotely. In the past several years, Cass has invested in sophisticated technology initiatives that enable employees to operate remotely with full system(s) access along with unified and transparent voice and electronic communications capabilities. The Company cannot predict when or how it will fully lift the actions put in place as part of the Business Continuity Plan, including work from home requirements and travel restrictions. Cass does not believe the work from home protocol has materially adversely impacted internal controls, financial reporting systems, or operations.

Note 2 – Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ~~(“FASB ASC 350”)~~, which requires that intangibles with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment, or when management deems there is a triggering event, and those with finite useful lives be amortized over their useful lives.

D~~etails~~Details of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows:

common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the SAR price during a period.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Note 4 – Stock Repurchases

The Company maintains a treasury stock buyback program pursuant to which, in October ~~2020,~~2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to ~~500,000~~750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with no expiration date. As of ~~September 30, 2021, 30,940~~March 31, 2022, 346,207 shares remained available for repurchase under the program. The Company repurchased ~~314,672~~124,874 and ~~zero~~31,256 shares during the three-month periods ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and 434,938 and 128,779 shares for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through negotiated transactions from time to time depending on market conditions.

On October 19, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the program. This new authorization replaces the previous authorization of 500,000 shares, and as such, the Company has 750,000 shares remaining available for repurchase in future periods.

Note 5 – Industry Segment Information

The services provided by the Company are classified into 2 reportable segments: Information Services and Banking Services. Each of these segments provides distinct services that are marketed through different channels. They are managed separately due to their unique service and processing requirements.

The Information Services segment provides transportation, energy, telecommunication, and environmental invoice processing and payment services to large corporations. The Banking Services segment provides banking services primarily to privately held businesses and faith-based ministries, including on-line generosity services, as well as supporting the banking needs of the Information Services segment.

The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Management evaluates segment performance based on tax-equivalized (as defined in the footnote to the chart on the following table) pre-tax income after allocations for corporate expenses. Transactions between segments are accounted for at what management believes to be fair value.

~~-10-~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Substantially all revenue originates from, and all long-lived assets are located within, the United States and no revenue from any customer of any segment exceeds 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue.

Funding sources represent average balances and deposits generated by Information Services and Banking Services and there is no allocation methodology used. Segment interest income is a function of the relative share of average funding sources generated by each segment multiplied by the following rates:

•Information Services – one or more fixed rates depending upon the specific characteristics of the funding source, and

•Banking Services – a variable rate that is based upon the overall performance of the Company’s earning assets.

Any difference between total segment interest income and overall total Company interest income is included in Corporate, Eliminations, and Other.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risks that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments and commitments under operating leases. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. The Company’s maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. A release of credit losses of ~~$430,000~~$135,000 was recorded during the ~~nine~~three months ended

~~-16-~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~September 30, 2021~~ March 31, 2022 primarily due to ~~improved economic conditions and lower line of credit usage.~~a decrease in unfunded commitments. An allowance for unfunded commitments of ~~$137,000~~$232,000 and ~~$567,000~~$367,000 had been recorded at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

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. Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company or its subsidiaries to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These off-balance sheet financial instruments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the ~~balance~~balances of unused loan commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit were ~~$194,327,000, $12,061,000,~~$200,547,000, $12,297,000, and ~~$235,000,~~$1,208,000, respectively. Since some of the financial instruments may expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting standards as those financial instruments included on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of the credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but is generally accounts receivable, inventory, residential or income-producing commercial property or equipment. In the event of nonperformance, the Company or its subsidiaries may obtain and liquidate the collateral to recover amounts paid under guarantees on these financial instruments.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various pending legal actions and proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate resolution of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The effective tax rate was ~~14.7%~~19.6% and ~~18.2%~~17.7% for the three-month periods ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and 17.0% and 17.9% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively. The effective tax rate for all periods differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax-exempt interest received from municipal ~~bonds.~~bonds and bank-owned life insurance, among other factors. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021 is primarily a result of taxable income being higher in the current period, which reduces the relative impact of the tax-exempt income.

Note 11 – Investment in Securities

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value using Level 2 valuations. The market evaluation utilizes several sources which include “observable inputs” rather than “significant unobservable inputs” and therefore fall into the Level 2

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment in Securities - The fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 valuations. Refer to Note 11, “Investment in Securities,” for fair value and unrealized gains and losses by investment type.

Loans - The fair value is estimated using present values of future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted interest rates for each loan category designated by management and is therefore a Level 3 valuation. Management believes that the risk factor embedded in the interest rates along with the allowance for credit losses result in a fair valuation.

Accrued Interest Receivable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities and therefore, is a Level 2 valuation. The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market or the benefit derived from the customer relationship inherent in existing deposits.

Accounts and Drafts Payable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Accrued Interest Payable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Note 13 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue is recognized as the obligation to the customer is satisfied. The following is detail of the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients.

~~Invoice processing~~Processing fees – The Company earns fees on a per-item or monthly basis for the invoice processing services rendered on behalf of customers.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business

~~During~~On March 11, 2020, the ~~year ended December 31, 2020 and nine months ended September 30, 2021,~~World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the ~~effects~~outbreak of COVID-19 ~~and related actions to attempt to control its spread significantly impacted~~as a global pandemic. While the ~~global economy and adversely affected the Company’s operating results in both the Information Services and Banking Services segments. Substantial progress has been made to combat the spread~~impact of COVID-19 ~~and financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were driven, in part, by the continual improvement in economic conditions as compared to the same periods in~~is significantly lessened from March 2020, when the negative economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was most pronounced on Cass and its customers. Though macroeconomic conditions continue to trend positive as of September 30, 2021, the Company could experience future negative effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows if there continue to be significant outbreaks of COVID-19.

With the spread of COVID-19 to the U.S. in the first quarter of 2020, many state and local governments recommended or mandated limitations on crowd size, closures of businesses and shelter-in-place orders in order to slow the transmission. The extent and nature of government actions varied during fiscal year 2020 and the Nine Months Ended 2021 based upon the then-current extent and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic within the respective localities. Severe business disruptions, resulting constrictions in the manufacturing sector for most of the year, labor force shortages, decreased oil demand and prices and general economic uncertainty, significantly and adversely impacted the Company’s customers’ business operations and had a corresponding negative affect on the Company’s revenue generation in each sector of the Company’s Information Services segment.

The Federal Reserve also took action to lower the Federal Funds rate in connection with COVID-19 relief, adversely affecting the Company’s net interest income and operating results tied to Banking Services. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it will retain the current low level interest rates until the economy has stabilized.

Bank regulatory agencies and various governmental authorities had urged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who were or may have been unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. Accordingly, and in coordination with its primary regulators, the Company deferred borrower principal payments on loans during 2020, on an as needed basis, for periods of up to six months. There were no borrowers remaining on deferred terms at September 30, 2021.

In response to COVID-19, the CARES Act was adopted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided for an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief. Among other things, the CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which allowed entities to apply for low-interest private loans to fund payroll and other costs which, subject to certain conditions and qualifications, are partially or fully forgivable. In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was enacted, which among other things, provided for additional funding and expansion of the PPP. In support of the CARES Act, the Bank processed nearly 350 applications for PPP loans of approximately $170,000,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and an additional 110 applications for approximately $40,000,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to provide much-needed cash to small business and self-employed taxpayers during the COVID-19 crisis. The loans were primarily made to existing bank customers and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA.

The Company remains committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for employees while offering assurance that it remains a financially strong service provider possessing the resources necessary to weather this pandemic in support of its valued customers.

In late fiscal 2020, vaccines for combating COVID-19 were approved by health agencies and have been administered throughout the country. While vaccination efforts are underway and a significant amount of previous business and other restrictions have been lifted, the ongoing impact, ~~of COVID-19,~~ including ~~any increases in infection rates, new variants, supply chain disruptions, labor force shortages, and renewed governmental action and business and activity~~ restrictions imposed to combat its spread, ~~cannot be estimated. Given these~~could result in additional and ~~other uncertainties discussed throughout this report, the~~prolonged business closures, supply chain disruptions, work restrictions and activity restrictions. The Company continues to closely monitor developments related to COVID-19 and remains subject to heightened ~~risk,~~business, operational, market, credit and ~~the aggregate impact that COVID-19 could~~other risks which may have an adverse effect on ~~the Company’s~~its financial condition and ~~operating~~ results ~~is presently unknown.~~of operations.

Overview

Cass provides payment and information processing services to large manufacturing, distribution and retail enterprises from its offices/locations in St. Louis, Missouri, Columbus, Ohio, Greenville, South Carolina, Wellington, Kansas, Jacksonville, Florida, Breda, Netherlands, Basingstoke, United Kingdom, and Singapore. The Company’s services include freight invoice rating, payment processing, auditing, and the generation of accounting and transportation information. Cass also processes and pays energy invoices, which include electricity and gas as well as waste and telecommunications expenses, and is a provider of telecom expense management solutions. Cass solutions include a B2B payment platform for clients that require an agile fintech partner. Additionally, the Company offers an on-line platform to provide generosity services for faith-based and non-profit organizations. The Company’s bank subsidiary, the “Bank,” supports the Company’s payment operations. The Bank also provides banking services to its target markets, which include privately-owned businesses and faith-based ministries in the St. Louis metropolitan area as well as other selected cities in the United States.

The specific payment and information processing services provided to each customer are developed individually to meet each customer’s requirements, which can vary greatly. In addition, the degree of automation such as electronic data interchange, imaging, work flow, and web-based solutions varies greatly among customers and industries. These factors combine so that pricing varies greatly among the customer base. In general, however, Cass is compensated for its processing services through service fees and investment of account balances generated during the payment process. The amount, type, and calculation of service fees vary greatly by service offering, but generally follow the volume of transactions processed. The Company also earns financial fees on a transaction level basis for invoice payment services when making customer payments. Financial fees include interchange revenue, foreign exchange fees and fees received through early payment of invoices. Fees are recognized at the point in time when the payment transactions are made, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. Interest income from the balances generated during the payment processing cycle is affected by the amount of time Cass holds the funds prior to payment and the dollar volume processed. Both the number of transactions processed and the dollar volume processed are therefore key metrics followed by management. Other factors will also influence revenue and profitability, such as changes in the general level of interest rates, which have a significant effect on net interest income. The funds generated by these processing activities are invested in overnight investments, investment grade securities, advances to payees, and loans generated by the Bank. The Bank earns most of its revenue from net interest income, or the difference between the interest earned on its loans and investments and the interest paid on its deposits and other borrowings. The Bank also assesses fees on other services such as cash management services.

Industry-wide factors that impact the Company include the willingness of large corporations to outsource key business functions such as freight, energy, telecommunication and environmental payment and audit. The benefits that can be achieved by outsourcing transaction processing, and the management information generated by Cass’ systems can be influenced by factors such as the competitive pressures within industries to improve profitability, the general level of transportation costs, deregulation of energy costs, and consolidation of telecommunication providers. Economic factors that impact the Company include the general level of economic activity that can affect the volume and size of invoices processed, the ability to hire and retain qualified staff, and the growth and quality of the loan portfolio. The general level of interest rates also has a significant effect on the revenue of the Company. As discussed in greater detail in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, a decline in the general level of interest rates can have a negative impact on net interest income and conversely, a rise in the general level of interest rates can have a positive impact on net interest income. The cost of fuel is another factor that has a significant impact on the transportation sector. As the price of fuel goes up or down, the Company’s earnings increase or decrease with the dollar amount of transportation invoices.

Currently, management views Cass’ major opportunity as the continued expansion of its payment and information processing service offerings and customer base. Management intends to accomplish this by maintaining the Company’s

leadership position in applied technology, which when combined with the security and processing controls of the Bank, makes Cass unique in the industry.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements in this report in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(“FASB”)~~ Accounting Standards ~~Codification (“ASC”).~~Codification. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates have been generally accurate in the past, have been consistent and have not required any material changes. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The accounting policy that requires significant management estimates and is deemed critical to the Company’s results of operations or financial position has been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and is described below.

~~Table of Contents~~

Allowance for Credit Losses. The Company performs periodic and systematic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio to determine management’s estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses. Although these estimates are based on established methodologies for determining allowance requirements, actual results can differ significantly from estimated results. These policies affect both segments of the Company. The impact and associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations are discussed in the “Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Unfunded Commitments” section of this report.

Fee Revenue and Other Income

The Company’s fee revenue is derived mainly from transportation and facility ~~payment~~processing and ~~processing~~financial fees. As the Company provides its processing and payment services, it is compensated by service fees which are typically calculated on a per-item basis and by the accounts and drafts payable balances generated in the payment process which can be used to

~~Third~~First Quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~Third~~First Quarter of ~~2020:~~2021:

~~Payment and processing~~Processing fee revenue increased ~~10%. Transportation volumes for invoices and dollars increased 8% and 40%, respectively. The increases were~~3.6% driven by the ~~stronger performance~~1.9% increase in transportation invoice volume and an increase in fees generated by our parcel payment services, partially offset by the decrease in facility-related transaction volume of ~~the manufacturing sector in addition to organic new customer growth.

The increase in dollar volumes contributed to a 57.6% increase in average payments in advance of funding, which is a significant driver of our financial fee revenue. The dramatic increase in transportation invoice dollar volume was driven by inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, fuel surcharges and scarcity in carrier supply, ~~which continues to drive prices higher.~~among other factors. Facility-related invoices decreased 6%5% while dollar volume increased ~~17%~~25%. The

~~-26-~~

increase in facility-related dollar volume is primarily due to ~~significantly~~ fewer pandemic-related restrictions in the restaurant, retail, and hospitality sectors, creating higher utility usage in addition to rising energy prices. ~~The decrease in invoice volume is primarily due to one fewer processing day.~~

~~Nine Months Ended 2021 compared to Nine Months Ended 2020:~~

~~Payment and processing revenue increased 8% for the same reasons as the Third Quarter. The growth in transportation invoice and dollar volumes were the primary reason for the positive revenue growth.~~

Analysis of Net Interest Income Changes

The following tables present the changes in interest income and expense between periods due to changes in volume and interest rates. That portion of the change in interest attributable to the combined rate/volume variance has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Unfunded Commitments

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses and off-balance sheet credit exposures of ~~$340,000,~~$230,000, and ~~$0 in the Third Quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded a~~ release of credit losses ~~and off-balance sheet credit exposures~~ of ~~$870,000~~$600,000 in the ~~Nine Months Ended~~First Quarter of 2022 and 2021, ~~and a provision for loan losses of $725,000 in the Nine Months Ended 2020.~~respectively. The amount of the provision for (release of) credit losses is derived from the Company’s quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The amount of the provision for (release of) credit losses will fluctuate as determined by these quarterly analyses. The provision for credit losses in the ~~Third~~First Quarter of ~~2021~~2022 was primarily due to loan growth and the related impact in the CECL model. ~~The release of credit losses in the Nine Months Ended 2021 was primarily due to improved economic conditions and the removal of specific allowance for credit loss allocations on two impaired loans.~~

The Company had net loan recoveries of ~~$11,000~~$0 in the ~~Third~~First Quarter of ~~2021 and $6,000 in the Third Quarter of 2020. The Company had net loan recoveries of $28,000~~2022 and $17,000 in the ~~Nine Months Ended 2021 and the Nine Months Ended 2020, respectively.~~First Quarter of 2021.

The ACL was ~~$11,532,000~~$12,406,000 at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$11,944,000~~$12,041,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ACL represented ~~1.32%~~1.27% of outstanding loans at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~1.34%~~1.25% of outstanding loans at December 31, ~~2020. Excluding PPP loans, the ACL represented 1.35% of total loans at September 30, 2021 and 1.53% of total loans at December 31, 2020.~~2021. The allowance for unfunded commitments was ~~$137,000~~$232,000 at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$567,000~~$367,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. There were no nonperforming loans outstanding at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The ACL has been established and is maintained to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. An ongoing assessment is performed to determine if the balance is adequate. Charges or credits are made to expense based on changes in the economic forecast, qualitative risk factors, loan volume, and individual loans. For loans that are individually evaluated, the Company uses two impairment measurement methods: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows and 2) collateral value.

The Company also utilizes ratio analyses to evaluate the overall reasonableness of the ACL compared to its peers and required levels of regulatory capital. Federal and state regulatory agencies review the Company’s methodology for

maintaining the ACL. These agencies may require the Company to adjust the ACL based on their judgments and interpretations about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Personnel costs increased 9.7% due to a general increase in wages, higher incentive compensation due to the Company's financial performance, an increase in the Company's 401(k) match during March 2021 and strategic investment in various technology initiatives. These factors were partially offset by the freezing of the benefits of the pension plan during the First Quarter of 2021, ~~were up 7.0%, or $2,010,000, compared to the Third Quarter~~which resulted in a decrease of ~~2020 as personnel and outside service expenses increased as a result~~pension expense of ~~the~~$890,000.

2021. Accounts and drafts payable will fluctuate from period-end to period-end due to the payment processing cycle, which results in lower balances on days when payments clear and higher balances on days when payments are issued. For this reason, average balances are a more meaningful measure of accounts and drafts payable (for average balances refer to the tables under the “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity; Interest Rate and Interest Differential” section of this report).

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2022 was $217,078,000, a $28,720,000, or 11.7%, decrease from December 31, 2021. Total shareholders’ equity decreased due to an other comprehensive loss of $28,122,000 as a result of rising interest rates and the result on the fair value of existing investment securities, share repurchases of $5,086,000, and dividends paid of $3,832,000. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $8,258,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The discipline of liquidity management as practiced by the Company seeks to ensure that funds are available to fulfill all payment obligations relating to invoices processed as they become due and meet depositor withdrawal requests and borrower credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in supply of funds. Primary liquidity to meet demand is provided by short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, maturing securities and the ability to obtain funds from external sources.

The balance of liquid assets consists of cash and cash equivalents, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds sold and money market ~~funds,~~funds. Cash and ~~was $500,309,000~~cash equivalents totaled $191,449,000 at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, a decrease of ~~$170,219,000,~~$323,479,000, or ~~25.4%~~62.8%, from December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, these assets represented ~~21.8%~~7.9% of total assets. These funds are the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ primary source of liquidity to meet future expected and unexpected loan demand, depositor withdrawals or reductions in accounts and drafts payable.

Secondary sources of liquidity include the investment portfolio and borrowing lines. Total investment in securities was ~~$541,079,000~~$774,610,000 at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, an increase of ~~$183,353,000~~$101,157,000 from December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. These assets represented ~~23.6%~~32.0% of total assets at ~~September 30, 2021. Of this total, 66% were state and political subdivision securities.~~March 31, 2022. Of the total portfolio, ~~4.8%~~2.7% mature in one year, ~~20.3%~~30.8% mature in one to five years, and ~~74.9%~~66.5% mature in five or more years.

The Bank has unsecured lines of credit at six correspondent banks to purchase federal funds up to a maximum of $83,000,000 atin aggregate. As of March 31, 2022, the ~~following banks: US Bank, $20,000,000; UMB Bank, $20,000,000; Wells Fargo Bank, $15,000,000; PNC Bank, $12,000,000; Frost National Bank, $10,000,000; and JPM Chase Bank, $6,000,000. The~~ Bank also has secured lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of ~~$215,048,000~~$218,049,000 collateralized by commercial mortgage loans. The Company also has secured lines of credit ~~with UMB Bank~~from two banks up to a maximum of ~~$75,000,000 and First Horizon Bank of $75,000,000~~$150,000,000 collateralized by state and political subdivision securities. There were no amounts outstanding under any line of credit as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~

In addition to the lines of credit discussed above, as of April 21, 2020 the Bank was approved for the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility. The Bank can receive non-recourse loans with the previously mentioned PPP loans pledged as collateral. The Bank can borrow an amount up to 100% of the amount of the PPP loans, which was $16,307,000 as of September 30, 2021.

The deposits of the Company's banking subsidiary have historically been stable, consisting of a sizable volume of core deposits related to customers that utilize other commercial products of the Bank. The accounts and drafts payable generated by the Company has also historically been a stable source of funds. The Company is part of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) deposit placement programs. Time deposits include ~~$31,998,000~~$26,111,000 of CDARS deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits include ~~$153,175,000~~$123,156,000 of ICS deposits. These programs offer the Bank’s customers the ability to maximize Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage. The Company uses these programs to retain or attract deposits from existing customers.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were ~~$30,680,000~~$14,723,000 for the ~~Nine Months Ended 2021,~~First Quarter of 2022, compared to ~~$40,061,000~~$16,704,000 for the ~~Nine Months Ended 2020,~~First Quarter of 2021, a decrease of ~~$34,249,000.~~$1,981,000. Net cash flows from investing and financing activities fluctuate greatly as the Company actively manages its investment and loan portfolios and customer activity influences changes in deposit and accounts and drafts payable balances. Other causes for the changes in these account balances are discussed earlier in this report. Due to the daily fluctuations in these account balances, the analysis of changes in average balances, also discussed earlier in this report, can be more indicative of underlying activity than the period-end balances used in the statements of cash flows. Management anticipates that cash and cash equivalents, maturing investments and cash from

operations will continue to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and capital expenditures in ~~2021,~~2022, which are estimated to range from $4 million to $6 million.

The Company faces market risk to the extent that its net interest income and fair market value of equity are affected by changes in market interest rates. For information regarding the market risk of the Company’s financial instruments, see Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

There are several trends and uncertainties that may impact the Company’s ability to generate revenues and income at the levels that it has in the past. In addition, these trends and uncertainties may impact available liquidity. Those that could significantly impact the Company include the general levels of interest rates, business activity, and energy costs as well as new business opportunities available to the Company.

As a financial institution, a significant source of the Company’s earnings is generated from net interest income. Therefore, the prevailing interest rate environment is important to the Company’s performance. A major portion of the Company’s funding sources are the non-interest bearing accounts and drafts payable generated from its payment and information processing services. Accordingly, higher levels of interest rates will generally allow the Company to earn more net interest income. Conversely, a lower interest rate environment will generally tend to depress net interest income. The Company actively manages its balance sheet in an effort to maximize net interest income as the interest rate environment changes. This balance sheet management impacts the mix of earning assets maintained by the Company at any point in time. For example, in a low interest rate environment, short-term relatively lower rate liquid investments may be reduced in favor of longer term relatively higher yielding investments and loans. If the primary source of liquidity is reduced in a low interest rate environment, a greater reliance would be placed on secondary sources of liquidity including borrowing lines, the ability of the Bank to generate deposits, and the investment portfolio to ensure overall liquidity remains at acceptable levels. ~~For a discussion of trends and impacts relating to COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.”~~

The overall level of economic activity can have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and income, as the volume and size of customer invoices processed may increase or decrease. Higher levels of economic activity increase both fee income (as more invoices are processed) and balances of accounts and drafts payable. ~~For a discussion of trends and impacts relating to COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.”~~ Lower levels of economic activity, such as those previously experienced by the Company as a result of COVID-19 and governmental actions related thereto, decrease both fee income and balances of accounts and drafts payable.

The relative level of energy costs can impact the Company’s earnings and available liquidity. Lower levels of energy costs will tend to decrease transportation and energy invoice amounts resulting in a corresponding decrease in accounts and drafts payable. Decreases in accounts and drafts payable generate lower interest income. ~~For a discussion of trends and impacts relating to COVID-19, refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.”~~

New business opportunities are an important component of the Company’s strategy to grow earnings and improve performance. Generating new customers allows the Company to leverage existing systems and facilities and grow revenues faster than expenses.

As a bank holding company, the Company and the Bank are subject to capital requirements pursuant to the FRB’s capital guidelines which include (i) risk-based capital guidelines, which are designed to make capital requirements more sensitive to various risk profiles and account for off-balance sheet exposure; (ii) guidelines that consider market risk, which is the risk of loss due to change in value of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates; and (iii) guidelines that use a leverage ratio which places a constraint on the maximum degree of risk to which a financial holding company may leverage its equity capital base.

The Basel III Capital Rules require ~~FDIC insured depository institutions~~banking organizations, like Cass, to ~~meet and maintain several~~maintain:

•a minimum ~~capital standards: a~~ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to ~~risk-based~~risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer;

•a minimum ratio of ~~4.5%, a~~ Tier 1 capital to ~~risk-based~~risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer;

•a minimum ratio of ~~6.0%, a~~ total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital) to ~~risk-based~~risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer; and

•a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to ~~total~~adjusted average consolidated assets.

The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ~~leverage ratio.~~above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face limitations on the payment of dividends, common stock repurchases and discretionary cash payments to executive officers based on the amount of the shortfall.

Common equity Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common stockholders’ equity and retained earnings. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital generally includes certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital (common equity Tier 1 capital plus Additional Tier 1 capital) and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital is comprised of capital instruments and related surplus meeting specified requirements. Also included in Tier 2 capital is the allowance for credit losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and, for non-advanced approaches institutions like Cass that have exercised a one-time opt-out election regarding the treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. The calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in applicable regulations.

The calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations. For instance, the Basel III Capital Rules and the Capital Simplification Rules provide for a number of deductions from and adjustments to common equity Tier 1 capital. These include, for example, the requirement that certain deferred tax assets and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from Tier 1 capital to the extent that any one such category exceeds 25% of common equity Tier 1 capital.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. For example, a risk weight of 0% is assigned to cash and U.S. government securities, a risk weight of 50% is generally assigned to prudently underwritten first lien one to four-family residential mortgages, a risk weight of 100% is assigned to commercial and consumer loans, a risk weight of 150% is assigned to certain past due loans, and a risk weight of between 0% to 600% is assigned to permissible equity interests, depending on certain specified factors.

The ~~Basel III Capital Rules require banking organizations, like Cass, to maintain:~~

•~~a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer;~~

•~~a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer;~~

•~~a minimum ratio of total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer; and~~

•~~a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average consolidated assets.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face limitations on the payment of dividends, common stock repurchases and discretionary cash payments to executive officers based on the amount of the shortfall.

~~The~~ Company and the Bank continue to exceed all regulatory capital requirements, as evidenced by the following capital amounts and ratios:

Inflation

The Company’s assets and liabilities are primarily monetary, consisting of cash, cash equivalents, securities, loans, payables and deposits. Monetary assets and liabilities are those that can be converted into a fixed number of dollars. The Company's consolidated balance sheet reflects a net positive monetary position (monetary assets exceed monetary liabilities). During periods of inflation, the holding of a net positive monetary position will result in an overall decline in the purchasing power of a company. Management believes that replacement costs of equipment, furniture, and leasehold improvements will not materially affect operations. The rate of inflation does affect certain expenses, such as those for employee compensation, which may not be readily recoverable in the price of the Company’s services.

Impact of New and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~ ~~(“ASU 2016-13”). The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and included provisions~~There are no new accounting pronouncements that ~~temporarily delayed the required implementation date of ASU 2016-13~~are applicable to the ~~earlier of~~company and/or do not materially impact the end of the national pandemic or December 31, 2020. The Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law on December 27, 2020 and extended the deferral of required implementation of ASU 2016-13 to the earlier of the first day of a company’s fiscal year that begins after the date the COVID-19 national emergency comes to an end or January 1, 2022. The Company elected to defer the adoption of ASU 2016-13 until December 31, 2020 with an effective date of January 1, 2020.

The ASU required measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial instruments held, as applicable, which include allowances for credit losses expected over the life of the portfolio, rather than incurred losses, which include allowances for current probable and estimable losses within the portfolio. Under this standard, the Company is required to hold an allowance equal to the expected life-of-loan losses on the loan portfolio. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit and other similar instruments. In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using a modified retrospective approach. Results for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Results for quarterly reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2020 in the Company’s Form 10-Q will be presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior quarterly period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Upon adoption on January 1, 2020, the Company recognized

increases of $723,000 in the allowance for credit losses and $402,000 in the reserve for unfunded commitments, with a corresponding reduction to retained earnings, net of tax, of $856,000. No credit loss allowance was required upon adoption for the investment securities portfolio.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company manages its interest rate risk through measurement techniques that include gap analysis and a simulation model. As part of the risk management process, asset/liability management policies are established and monitored by management. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant uncertainty and market volatility, which may result in the deterioration of the Company’s risk position since December 31, 2020.
