Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
($ in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

NOTE 1.1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun” or “Parent Company” and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sunflower Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and Logia Portfolio Management, LLC, and have been prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These entities are collectively referred to as “our”, “us”, “we”, or “the Company”.

These consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim financial statements are unaudited, and include, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with FirstSun’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20202021, included in our proxy statement/prospectus dated August 10, 2021 (the “Prospectus”)Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 12, 2021, pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) in connection with our proposed merger with Pioneer Bancshares, Inc. (“Pioneer”March 25, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on our net income or stockholders’ equity.

Business Combination - On May 11, 2021,April 1, 2022, FirstSun completed its previously announced Merger with Pioneer Bancshares, Inc. (“Pioneer”). Under the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstSun, FSCB Merger Subsidiary, Inc., merged with and into Pioneer, entered into an Agreementwith Pioneer continuing as the surviving entity and Planbecoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstSun (the “Merger”). Immediately after the effective time of the Merger that provides for the merger of(the “Effective Time”), Pioneer was merged with and into FirstSun, with FirstSun continuing as the surviving entity (the “merger”“second step Merger”). IfImmediately following the merger is completed,completion of the second step Merger, Pioneer’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pioneer Bank, SSB, a Texas state savings bank, was merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank continuing as the surviving bank. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Pioneer common stock will be converted intoshareholder had the right to receive 1.0443 shares of FirstSun common stock, plusfor each share of Pioneer common stock owned by the shareholder, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. In September 2021,Each outstanding share of FirstSun common stock remained outstanding and was unaffected by the Merger. Further information is presented in Note 2 - Merger with Pioneer stockholders approved the merger. Completion of the merger, among other things, is subject to the requisite approval of the appropriate regulatory bodies, and if approved is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021. Pioneer currently operates from its headquarters in Austin, Texas and has banking offices located primarily in the Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas metro areas. As of September 30, 2021 Pioneer had assets of $1.6 billion, total loans of $1.0 billion, and deposits of $1.3 billion.

Bancshares, Inc.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future that are believed to be reasonable based on all available information. Our reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting policies. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.

Risks and Uncertainties - In the normal course of business, companies in the banking and mortgage industries encounter certain economic and regulatory risks. Economic risks include prepayment risk, market risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk. We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that in a rising interest rate environment we may experience a decrease in loan production, as well as decreases in the value of mortgage loans held-for-sale and in commitments to originate loans, which may adversely impact our earnings. Credit risk is the risk of default that may result from the borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.

We generally sell loans to investors without recourse; therefore, the investors have assumed the risk of loss or default by the borrower. However, we are usually required by these investors to make certain standard representations and warranties relating to credit information, loan documentation, and collateral. To the extent that we do not comply with such representations, or there are early payment defaults, we may be required to repurchase the loans or indemnify these
11

Table of Contents
investors for any losses from borrower defaults. In addition, if loans pay off within a specified time frame, we may be required to refund a portion of the sales proceeds to the investors. We established reserves for potential losses related to these representations and warranties which isare recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities. In assessing the adequacy of the reserve,reserves, we evaluate various
12

Table of Contents

factors including actual write-offs during the period, historical loss experience, known delinquent and other problem loans, and economic trends and conditions in the industry. Further information is presented in Note 15.17 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards - As an “emerging growth company” under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to non-public business entities. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period for an “emerging growth company” for as long as it is available to us. For standards that we have delayed adoption, we may lack comparability to other companies who have adopted such standards. ThereOther than the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), there have been no material developments with respect to newly issued standards from those disclosed in our Prospectus. 2021 Form 10-K.
We have deferred adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) andare currently executing our implementation plan for ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Credit Officer. As of September 30, 2022, we have performed a preliminary parallel run and completed an external model validation of our modeling framework. A separate model validation related to our probability of default and loss given default internal loan risk rating framework is nearing completion. We continue to design and implement our controls over the new allowance model framework. Based upon our preliminary parallel run we currently expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in an increase in our allowance for loan losses and our reserves for unfunded commitments. This increase is a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets; however, we do not expect these allowances to be significant. Additionally, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a significant impact on our regulatory capital ratios. The ultimate impact of adoption on January 1, 2023 will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of that date, notwithstanding any further refinements to our expected credit loss models.
NOTE 2 - Merger with Pioneer Bancshares, Inc.
As described under the title “Business Combination” in Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation, we completed our Merger with Pioneer on April 1, 2022. We accounted for the Pioneer Merger under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Merger. Goodwill resulting from the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the fair value of the liabilities assumed is not amortizable for book or tax purposes. This goodwill resulted from the combination of expected operational synergies, the increase in our market share in Texas and other factors. Although the Merger was nontaxable, the Merger gave rise to certain temporary differences for which deferred taxes have been recognized. The results of operations for the Pioneer Merger have been included in our consolidated financial results beginning on the April 1, 2022 closing date.
Consideration
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Pioneer common stock was converted into 1.0443 shares of FirstSun common stock (except for shareholders who properly exercised their dissenters’ rights) with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Accordingly, we issued 6,467,466 shares of our common stock to Pioneer shareholders in the Merger valued at $230,760 based on a third-party valuation of our common stock in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements as of the closing date. We also converted Pioneer stock options into 431,645 options to purchase shares of FirstSun common stock. This conversion was valued at $5,334. We also paid cash to certain Pioneer shareholders of $4,736. Total aggregate consideration paid in the Pioneer Merger was $240,830.

Fair Value
We recorded the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on initial valuations at April 1, 2022. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make assumptions related to discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are subjective in nature and may require adjustments. Accordingly, these fair value estimates are considered preliminary as of September 30, 2022, and are subject to adjustment during the specified measurement period that ends 12 months from the closing date of the Merger.

Estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction are as follows:

Acquired loans and purchased credit impaired loans
Acquired loans were recorded at fair value based on a discounted cash flow valuation methodology that considered, among other things, projected default rates, loss given default rates and recovery rates. No allowance for loan losses was carried over from Pioneer.
We identified certain acquired loans as purchased credit impaired (PCI). PCI loan identification considered payment history and past due status, debt service coverage, loan grading, collateral values and other factors that may be an indication of a deterioration of credit quality since origination. Although we identified certain acquired loans as PCI, the

Estimated fair value is less than amortized cost primarily because of general economic conditionsthe rising interest rate environment and is unrelated to specific conditions of the specific issuer. At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, management does not believe these securities are other than temporarily impaired for the following reasons: there was no significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the issuer; there was no significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the issuer; and there was no significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographic area or the industry in which the issuer operates. Management has the ability and intendsintent to hold these securities and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to maturity or until such time as the full amount of investment principal will be returned.

Credit risk monitoring and management is a continuous process to manage the quality of the loan portfolio. We categorizesegment loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends among other factors. The risk rating system is used as a tool to analyze and monitor loan portfolio quality. Risk ratings meeting an internally specified exposure threshold are updated annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of a circumstance that affects the credit risk of the loan. We use the following definitions for risk ratings:

Substandard - loans are considered “classified” and have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, such as loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans are also characterized by the distinct possibility of loss in the future if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - loans are considered “classified” and have all the weaknesses inherent in those 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. There were no loans categorized as doubtful as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

For the nine months endedAs of September 30, 20212022 and year ended December 31, 20202021, the TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $1,441$797 and $1,464,$2,326, respectively. There were no amounts charged-off during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and year ended December 31, 2020.2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, there were loans modified as TDRs totaling $1,759$106 for which there was a payment default following the modification.

In order to assess whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed to determine the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under our internal underwriting policy.
A loan is generally considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

We are working with borrowers impacted by COVID-19 and providing modifications to include interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral. These modifications are excluded from TDR classification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators. As of September 30, 2021, we had actively modified loans under the CARES Act as follows:

Acquired Loans and Loan Discounts:
Included in the net loan portfolio as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 is a net accretable discount related to loans acquired within a business combination in the approximate amounts of $770$9,768 and $2,043,$571, respectively. The discount is accreted into income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loans.

Loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration at acquisition, for which it was probable that we would not be able to collect all contractual amounts due, were accounted for as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans. The outstanding balance represents the total amount owed, including accrued but unpaid interest, and any amounts previously charged off. The carrying amount of purchased credit impaired loans iswas not significant as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

NOTE 4.5 - Mortgage Servicing Rights

We have investments in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) that result from the sale of loans to the secondary market for which we retain the servicing. We account for these MSRs at their fair value. A primary risk associated with MSRs is the potential reduction in fair value as a result of higher than anticipated prepayments due to loan refinancing prompted, in part, by declining interest rates or government intervention. Conversely, these assets generally increase in value in a rising interest rate environment to the extent that prepayments are slower than anticipated. We utilize derivatives as economic hedges to offset changes in the fair value of the MSRs resulting from the actual or anticipated changes in prepayments stemming from changing interest rate environments.

The unpaid principal loan balance of our servicing portfolio is presented in the following table as of:

NOTE 5.6 - Derivative Financial Instruments

Banking Derivative Financial Instruments:
We are exposeduse fair value hedges to seek to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of certain of our fixed-raterecognized assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. We use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designateda benchmark interest rate, LIBOR. Interest rate swaps designatedsuch as SOFR. The fair value hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. The carrying amount of hedged loans receivable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $209,552 and $239,591, respectively. The cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the hedged loans receivable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $7,784 and $14,906, respectively. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect the hedges to remain effective during their remaining terms.

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service we provide to certain customers. We execute interest rate swaps with banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedgedoffset by offsetting derivatives that we execute with a third party, such that we minimize our net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. These
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value and recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features:
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we either default or are capable of being declared in default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

We also have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we fail to maintain our status as a well-capitalized institution, then our derivative counterparties have the right but not the obligation to terminate existing swaps. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $18,435$26,125 and $28,622,$14,882, respectively.

NOTE 12.14 - Regulatory Capital Matters

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

Under the Basel III rules, the Parent Company and the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The fully phased in capital conservation buffer is 2.50% for all periods presented.

The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. As of September 30, 2021,2022, both the Parent Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

NOTE 13.15 - Fair Value Measurements

We utilize fair value measurements to record or disclose the fair value on certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation models rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves or credit spreads. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgement assumptions and estimates related to credit quality, our future earnings, interest rates and other relevant inputs. These valuation methods require considerable judgement and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and the methods used.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process with the highest priority given to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs where no active market exists. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

31

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

NOTE 14.16 - Segment Information

Our operations are conducted through 2two operating segments: Banking and Mortgage Operations. Corporate represents costs not allocated to the operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activity from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Operating segments have been determined based on the products and services offered and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Each segment operates under the same banking charter, but is reported on a segmented basis for this report. Each of the operating segments is complementary to each other and because of the
34

interrelationship of the segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.
36

The Banking segment originates loans and provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers. Products offered include a full range of commercial and consumer banking and financial services. The interest income on loans held-for-investment is recognized in the Banking segment, excluding newly originated residential first mortgages within the Mortgage Operations segment.

The Mortgage Operations segment originates, sells, services, and manages market risk from changes in interest rates on one-to-four family residential mortgage loans to sell or hold on our balance sheet. Loans originated-to-sell comprise the majority of the lending activity. The Mortgage Operations segment recognizes interest income on loans that are held-for-sale and newly originated residential mortgages held-for-investment, the gains from one to four family residential mortgage sales, and revenue for servicing loans and other ancillary fees following a sales transaction. Revenue from servicing activities is earned on a contractual fee basis. The Mortgage Operations segment services loans for the held-for-investment portfolio, for which it earns revenue via an intercompany service fee allocation which appears as a cost to Banking in mortgage fees. Forward traded loan purchases and sales settlements as well as mortgage servicing rights and related fair value adjustments are reported in this segment.

Corporate represents miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature as well as revenue and expenses not directly assigned or allocated to the Banking or Mortgage Operations segments. The majority of executive management’s time is spent managing operating segments; related costs have been allocated between the operating segments and Corporate.
Revenues are comprised of net interest income before the provision (benefit) for loan losses and non-interestnoninterest income. Noninterest expenses are allocated to each operating segment. Provision for loan losses is primarily allocated to the Banking segment. Allocation methodologies may be subject to periodic adjustment as management systems evolve and/or the business or product lines within the segments change.

NOTE 15.17 - Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments:
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and documentary letters of credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party of these loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet financial instruments.

Operating leases:
We lease certain facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Operating lease amounts exclude renewal option periods, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses on leased properties. Our facility leases typically provide for rental adjustments for increases in base rent (up to specific limits), property taxes, insurance, and general property maintenance that would be recorded in rent expense. Rent expense was $1,641$2,063 and $1,396$1,641 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively,respectively. Rent expense was $5,839 and $4,955 and $4,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. Future minimum payments under all existing operating lease commitments are as follows:
Remainder 2021$6,721 
20226,827 
20236,529 
20246,073 
20253,831 
20262,376 
Thereafter5,003 
Total operating leases$37,360 


Undistributed portion of committed loans and unused lines of credit:
Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no customer violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, commitments included the funding of fixed-rate loans totaling $116,455$215,851 and $95,448$144,701 and variable-rate loans totaling $657,403$1,676,927 and $602,142,$987,584, respectively. The fixed-rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 0.90%1.00% to 18.00% at September 30, 20212022 and 0.90%0.85% to 18.00% at December 31, 2020,2021, and maturities ranging from 1 month to 2415 years at September 30, 20212022 and from 1 month to 1026 years at December 31, 2020.

2021.
Standby letters of credit:
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Since many of the loan commitments and letters of credit expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, owner-occupied real estate, and/or income-producing commercial properties. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our standby letters of credit commitment totaled $7,807$17,950 and $16,664,$11,729, respectively.

MPF Master Commitments:
The Bank has previously executed MPF Master Commitments (Commitments) with the FHLB to deliver mortgage loans and to guarantee the payment of any realized losses that exceed the FHLB’s first loss account for mortgages delivered under the Commitments. The Bank receives credit enhancement fees from the FHLB for providing this guarantee and continuing to manage the credit risk of the MPF Program mortgage loans. The termWe entered into a new agreement in the third quarter of these Commitments is through December 31, 2021.2022. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Bank considered the amount of any of its liability for the present value of the credit enhancement fees less any expected losses in the mortgages delivered under the Commitments to be immaterial, and had not recorded a liability and offsetting receivable. As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Bank would have been required to make under the Commitments was $13,094$12,884 and $13,029$12,870, respectively. Under the Commitments, the Bank agrees to service the loans and therefore, is responsible for any necessary

Table of Contents

foreclosure proceedings. Any future recoveries on any losses would not be paid by the FHLB under the Commitments. The Bank has not experienced any material losses under these guarantees.

Contingencies:
We generally sell loans to investors without recourse; therefore, the investors have assumed the risk of loss or default by the borrower. However, we are usually required by these investors to make certain standard representations and warranties relating to credit information, loan documentation, and collateral. To the extent that we do not comply with such representations, we may be required to repurchase the loans or indemnify these investors for any losses from borrower defaults. We establish reserves for potential losses related to these representations and warranties if deemed appropriate and such reserves would be recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities. In assessing the adequacy of the
41

Table of Contents
reserve, we evaluate various factors including actual write-offs during the period, historical loss experience, known delinquent and other problem loans, and economic trends and conditions in the industry.

From time to time, we are a defendant in various claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. We periodically review all outstanding pending or threatened legal proceedings and determine if such matters will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Trust Administration Litigation:
On May 18, 2021, the 2 remainder beneficiaries of the Dorothy S. Harroun Irrevocable Trust (“Trust”), Dennis Harroun and Douglas Harroun (the “Remainder Beneficiaries”), filed a claim in the Santa Fe County, New Mexico District Court, against the Bank as trustee of the Trust, in the form of a counterclaim related to a petition for guidance and approval of trust distributions filed by the Bank on March 24, 2021 in the same court (the “Guidance Case”). The Remainder Beneficiaries’ claim alleges that the Bank breached its fiduciary duty and impartiality with respect to 2020 distributions made to the Trust’s current beneficiary, Dorothy Harroun (“Dorothy”). The Remainder Beneficiaries seek restitution and surcharge against the Bank for the full amount of the 2020 distributions, which were approximately $19.7 million, plus a reasonable rate of return thereon, as well as legal fees, costs, and expenses and the removal of the Bank as trustee of the Trust. The Bank believes that the Remainder Beneficiaries’ claims are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted.

On June 14, 2021, the Bank was removed as Trustee of the Dorothy S. Harroun Revocable Trust (“Revocable Trust”). The Revocable Trust held proceeds of the 2020 distributions, and, after payment of federal and state taxes related to the 2020 distributions, the Revocable Trust still had approximately $11.8 million of the 2020 distributions intact (“Funds”). On June 16, 2021, the Bank filed an interpleader action in the Santa Fe County, New Mexico District Court (“Interpleader Case”). The Interpleader Case petition requested that the Funds be paid into the registry of the Court pending final judgment in the Guidance Case. On September 30, 2021, the Court in the Interpleader Case ordered that the Funds be transferred to the Revocable Trust successor trustee, First American Bank, and that no party may make demand for distributions thereof without further Order of the Court. The Funds have been transferred to First American Bank. Dorothy and the Remainder Beneficiaries have each filed answers and counterclaims in the Interpleader Case contesting the relief sought by the Bank, and alleging that the Bank breached its fiduciary duty and impartiality as between the beneficiaries. The Bank believes that the counterclaims in the Interpleader Action are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted.

Overdraft Fee Litigation:
On September 10, 2021, Karen McCollam filed a putative class action amended complaint against the Bank in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The amended complaint allegesalleged that the Bank improperly charged overdraft fees where a transaction was initially authorized on sufficient funds but later settled negative due to intervening transactions. The complaint assertsasserted a claim for breach of contract, which incorporatesincorporated the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, and a claim for violations of the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. Plaintiff seekssought to represent a proposed class of all the Bank’s checking account customers who were allegedly charged overdraft fees on transactions that did not overdraw their checking account. Plaintiff seekssought unspecified restitution, actual and statutory damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, pre-judgment interest, and other relief as the Court deemsdeemed proper for herself and the putative class. On September 24, 2021, the Bank filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Bank’s motion to dismiss has been fully pled, and is beforewas granted on April 15, 2022. Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on May 16, 2022. The parties thereafter reached agreement on a confidential settlement that will result in the Court for decision. The Bank believes that the lawsuit is without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted.case being dismissed with prejudice.

On September 13, 2021, Samantha Besser filed an amendeda putative class action amended complaint against the Bank in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The amended complaint alleges that the Bank improperly charged multiple insufficient funds or overdraft fees when a merchant resubmits a rejected payment request. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, which incorporates the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiff seeks to represent a proposed class of all the Bank’s checking account customers who were charged multiple insufficient funds or overdraft fees on resubmitted payment requests. Plaintiff seeks unspecified restitution, actual and statutory damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, pre-judgment interest, and other relief as the Court deems proper for herself and the purported class. On September 27, 2021, the
40

Table of Contents

Bank filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The motion to dismiss has been fully pled and is before the Court for decision. The Bank believes that the lawsuit is without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted.
Wire Transfer Litigation:
On November 5, 2021, urban-gro, Inc. (“UGI”) filed a complaint against the Bank in the Boulder County, Colorado District Court. The complaint alleges that the Bank failed to follow contractual, internal, and industry-standard procedures with respect to six purportedly fraudulent and unauthorized wire transfers, totaling approximately $5.1 million, from UGI’s deposit account at the Bank to domestic third-party beneficiaries (“Transactions”). UGI seeks actual damages, statutory damages for civil theft, costs, attorneys’ fees, pre- and post-judgment interest, and other relief as the Court deems proper.

On November 18, 2021, the Bank filed responsive pleadings (“Answer”) setting forth its position that: 1) the Transactions were duly authorized by UGI; 2) the Bank upheld the contractual security procedures with UGI for wire transfers, and followed its own industry-standard internal processes and procedures in carrying out those security procedures; 3) UGI is solely liable for any fraud that might have been perpetrated due to an e-mail account compromise of one or more of its employees; 4) UGI breached its contractual obligations with the Bank by failing to timely discover and report any impropriety as to the Transactions to the Bank; and 5) the Bank, therefore, is not liable for the unrecovered balance.

The Bank believes that UGI’s claims are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against all claims asserted. At this time, the Bank is unable to reasonably estimate the outcome of this litigation.

We establish reserves for contingencies, including legal proceedings, when potential losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate resolution of any legal proceedings, including the matters described above, cannot be determined at this time, based on information presently available, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome in these above legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. It is possible, however, that future developments could result in an unfavorable outcome for or resolution of any of these proceedings, which may be material to our results of operations for a given fiscal period.

COVID-19:
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the COVID-19 outbreak was deemed a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the President declared the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic of sufficient magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration.

(1) The efficiency ratio is one measure of profitability in the banking industry. This ratio measures 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 noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.
(2) Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, accrual troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), and accrual loans greater than 90 days past due.
(3) See section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” for information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
The non-GAAP financial measures presented below are used by our management and our Board of Directors on a regular basis in addition to our GAAP results to facilitate the assessment of our financial performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial results by providing a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons, assisting in operating results analysis, and predicting future performance. This information supplements our GAAP reported results, and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our GAAP results. Accordingly, this financial information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, included elsewhere in this report. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items that are included in the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be represented by other companies.

The increase in net interest income was primarily due to organic growth in interest income on loans held-for-investment due to an improvingour loan mix, fees from loan prepayments, and overall growth in average loan balances. Segment income also increased as a result of a $1.4 million decrease in our provision for loan losses, decreasing from a $4.9 million provision in the third quarter of 2020 to a $3.5 million provision in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in provision expense recorded in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to improving economic conditions, partially offset byportfolios, an increase in commercial loans duringinterest earning assets resulting from the period.

Net interest income increased $55.1 million to $167.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The period over period increase was driven by a $13.1 million decrease in our provision for loan losses, decreasing from a $15.2 million provision in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to a $2.1 million provision in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This reduction in the provision was due to favorable changes to certain environmental factors as a result of improved economic conditions and the performance of our portfolio.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

For the third quarter of 2021, income before taxes from our Mortgage Operations segment decreased to $5.5 million, compared to $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a $15.6 million decline in net gain on sales and fees from loan originations, including changes in the fair value of the held-for-sale portfolio, net of hedging activity, as total loan originations during the third quarter of 2021 declined by $177.8 million, or 25.0%, to $532.7 million compared to the same period in 2020. Noninterest income from mortgage banking services decreased $15.4$7.7 million to $20.6 million during the third quarter of 2021, compared to $35.9 million during the third quarter of 2020. Further discussion on the components of income from mortgage banking services is included under the subheading “Noninterest Income.” Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $16.9 million, compared to $18.8 million for the same period in 2020. While variable compensation related to loan originations declined, overall salaries and employee benefits expenses remained relatively flat period over period as a result of an increase in headcount. We are investing in our workforce to grow the level of loan activities for home purchase transactions as the level of overall loan refinancing transactions has declined period over period.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and variants of the virus continue to create disruptions to the global economy and financial markets and to businesses and the lives of individuals throughout the world. Our business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying our secured loans, and demand for loans and other products and services we offer, which are highly dependent on the business environment in our primary markets and in the United States as a whole.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants is fluid and continues to evolve, adversely affecting many of our customers. The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 and its associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity, unemployment, and consumer spending has disrupted economic activity and employment, resulting in volatility in financial markets. Market interest rates, after falling to historically low levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic through the second quarter of 2020, have generally stabilized, while intermediate and longer-term Treasury rates have begun to rise. The low interest rate environment (except with respect to our Mortgage Operations) and the other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and are expected to continue to have, possibly materially, an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For instance, the pandemic has had negative effects on our interest income, allowance for loan losses, and certain transaction-based line items of noninterest income. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations is currently uncertain and will depend on various developments and other factors, including the effect of governmental and private sector initiatives, the effect of the continued rollout of vaccinations for the virus, whether such vaccinations will be effective against any resurgence of the virus, including any new strains, and the ability for customers and businesses to return to, and remain in their pre-pandemic routine.

We continue to actively monitor developments related to COVID-19 and its variants and its impact on our business, customers, employees, counterparties, vendors, and service providers.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken several actions to offer various forms of support to our customers, employees, and communities that have been impacted by the pandemic. We have worked with borrowers impacted by COVID-19 and provided modifications to include interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral. Under bank regulatory guidance and the CARES Act, these short-term deferrals are generally not considered to be troubled debt restructurings, or “TDRs,” unless the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty prior to the pandemic.

A provision in the CARES Act created the Paycheck Protection Program, or “PPP,” a program administered by the Small Business Administration, or “SBA,” to provide loans to small business during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $116.5 million and $256.3 million of PPP loans outstanding and deferred processing fees outstanding of $3.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively. PPP loans are classified as Commercial loans in our consolidated financial statements. The PPP program ended on May 31, 2021, and we do not expect to fund additional PPP loans. We expect funds to be received from the SBA for the forgiven loans into 2023.decline in mortgage loan originations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP,“U.S. GAAP,” and follow general practices within the banking industry. These policies require the reliance on estimates, assumptions and judgments, which may prove inaccurate or are subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, estimates, assumptions or judgements could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations.

Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. We have identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses and fair value measurements to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new or additional information becomes available or circumstances change, including overall changes in the economic climate and/or market interest rates. Therefore, we consider these policies to be critical accounting estimates and discuss them directly with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. During the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates compared with those described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Operations of FirstSun—Critical Accounting Estimates” and the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements appearing in the Prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on August 12, 2021.2021 Form 10-K.

General

Our results of operations depend significantly on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of interest income on loans and investment securities and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also dependent on our generation of noninterest income, consisting primarily of income from mortgage banking services, service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment advisory fees and credit and debit card fees. Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provisions for loan losses, income taxes, and noninterest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and other operating costs.

Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $8.7 million, compared to $14.8 million for the third quarter of 2020. The $6.0 million decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to a $15.4 million decrease in income from mortgage banking services partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $34.3 million, compared to $36.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The $2.0 million decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to a $29.0 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $14.3 million, due primarily to a decrease in income from mortgage banking services and an increase in noninterest expenses of $17.2 million.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, representing interest income less interest expense, is a significant contributor to our revenues and earnings. We generate interest income from interest and dividends on interest-earning assets, which are principally comprised of loans and investment securities. We incur interest expense from interest owed or paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings. Net interest income and margin are shaped by the characteristics of the underlying products, including volume, term and structure of each product. We measure and monitor yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, our net interest spread and our net interest margin. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

Interest earned on our loan portfolio isportfolios are the largest component of our interest income. Our loan portfolios are presented at the principal amount outstanding net of deferred origination fees and unamortized discounts and premiums. Interest income is recognized based on the principal balance outstanding and the stated rate of the loan. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan. LoansNon-PCI loans acquired through acquisition are initially recorded at fair value. Discountsvalue and the resulting discount or premiums created when the loans were recorded at their estimated fair values at acquisitionpremium are accreted over the remaining term of the loanrecognized as an adjustment toof the yield on the related loan’s yield.

loans.
Our net interest income can be significantly influenced by a variety of factors, including overall loan demand, economic conditions, credit risk, the amount of non-earning assets including nonperforming loans and OREO, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, and balance sheet growth or contraction.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Our net interest income was $40.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $5.6 million, or 16.4%, from the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to a $3.9 million, or 10.9%, increase in interest and fee income on loans held-for-investment for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, driven by an increase of $76.9 million in average loans held-for-investment in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Average yield for the third quarter of 2021 was 4.20% an increase of 31 basis points over the comparable period in 2020.

Rate-Volume Analysis

The tables below present the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense. Changes indue to volume are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous period’s average rate. Changes indue to rate are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previouscurrent period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses

We established an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged as an expense in our consolidated statements of income. The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to absorb probable losses incurred in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate under GAAP. Our determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses and corresponding provision for loan losses considers ongoing evaluations of the credit quality and level of credit risk inherent in our loan portfolio, levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs, statistical trends and economic and other relevant factors. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs.

We had a provision for loan losses of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to several factors, including the provision required for larger organic growth in the loan portfolio for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
We had a provision for loan losses of $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2020. The higher provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to changes in certain environmental factors influencing our overall allowance for loan losses that resulted from uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an increase in loan balances. The lower provision recorded during the 2021 period was primarily due to improving economic conditions, partially offset by an increase in commercial loans. During the third quarter of 2021 our PPP loans, for which no provision for loan losses was required, were primarily replaced by commercial loans for which a provision for loan losses was required.

We had a provision for loan losses of $1.8$12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to a$1.8 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to several factors, including larger organic growth in the loan portfolio and a provision required on certain non-impaired loans acquired at a premium upon the closing of $15.1 million for the comparable period in 2020.Pioneer Merger. The provision for loan losseson the loans acquired at a premium was $2.9 million ($0.10 diluted earnings per share) during the first nine months of 2020ended September 30, 2022. The 2021 provision was primarily due to changes in certain environmental factors that resulted from uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an increase in loan balances. The provision recorded during the 2021 period was primarily due toimpacted by favorable changes toin certain environmental factors as a result of improved economic conditions and to a lesser extent due to a $95.4 million increase in loan balances, excluding PPP loan balances duringas the nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

Our noninterest income decreased $14.0$3.7 million to $28.7$25.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, from $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021, compared to2022 from $28.7 million for the same period of 2020, wasin 2021, primarily due to a $15.6 million declinedecrease in net gain on sales and feesincome from mortgage loan originations, including changes in fair value in the held-for-sale portfolio, net of hedging activity, as total mortgage loan originations during the third quarter of 2021 declined by $177.8 million, or 25.0% to $532.7 million compared to the same period in 2020.

Service charges on deposit accounts includes overdraft and non-sufficient funds charges, treasury management services provided to our business customers, and other maintenance fees on deposit accounts. For the third quarter of 2021, income from2022, service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.0$1.3 million, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due primarily to higher average deposits, and increased treasury management service fee income compared withto the same quarterperiod in 2020. Treasury management services fee income increased by $0.6 million to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared with the third quarter of 2020, and deposit service charges increased by $0.5 million to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared with the third quarter of 2020.

Credit and debit card fees represent interchange income from credit and debit card activity and referral fees earned from processing fees on card transactions atby our business customers. Interchange incomeCredit and debit card fees increased $0.4$0.6 million for the third quarter of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020,2021, due primarily to increased card transaction volumes.

Trust and investment advisory fees represent fees we receive in connection with our investment advisory and custodial management services of investment accounts. For the third quarter of 2021, trustTrust and investment advisory fees increased $0.7 million, from the same period in 2020, primarily due to our September 2020 acquisition of certain customer relationships of a trust and wealth advisory business based in Arizona.

Income from mortgage banking services is principally derived from the origination and sale of mortgage loans together with servicing mortgage loans for others. For the third quarter of 2021, income from mortgage banking services decreased $15.4 million compared with the third quarter of 2020, due primarily to a $15.6 million decline in net gain on sales and fees from loan originations, including changes in fair value in the loans held-for-sale portfolio, net of hedging activity. Our mortgage servicing portfolio grew from $3.8 billion in unpaid principal balances at September 30, 2020 to $4.6 billion at September 30, 2021. We retain servicing rights on the majority of the mortgage loans that we sell, which resulted in a $0.7 million increase in mortgage servicing incomewere down slightly for the third quarter of 2021,2022 as compared to the same quarterperiod in 2020. In addition to the fees received to service mortgage loans for others, we recognize fair value adjustments to our MSR asset, which includes changes in assumptions to the valuation model and pay-offs and pay-downs of the MSR portfolio. We also maintain a hedging strategy to manage a portion of the risk associated with changes in the fair value of our MSR portfolio. Changes in fair value of the derivative instruments used to economically hedge the MSRs are also included as a component of income from mortgage banking services.

MSR capitalization and changes in fair value, net of derivative activity, increased $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

This increase was primarily caused by a $0.5 million increase in professional services expenses as well as an increase of $0.4 million in FDIC insurance costs as the Small Bank FDIC Assessment Credit was fully utilized in 2021, and other smaller increases in data processing expenses, office expenses, and deposit expenses and other operational losses.
The decrease in our salary and employee benefits expense for the third quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was driven primarily by a decrease in commissions paid to our mortgage loan officers related to decreased mortgage origination activity during the third quarter of 2022.
Nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Our noninterest expenses increased $17.3 million to $183.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $166.4 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to increases of $16.8 million in Merger related expenses and $7.6 million in other expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $11.1 million in salary and employee benefits expense and $3.5benefits.
We incurred Merger related expenses of $18.8 million in other expenses in($0.63 per diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022, an increase of $16.8 million, from $2.0 million ($0.09 per diluted share) for the same period in 2021, related to our Merger with Pioneer that was completed on April 1, 2022.
Other expenses increased $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily caused by a $1.0 million increase in travel and entertainment expenses as we continue to move away from limitations related to the COVID-19 pandemic, a $1.3 million increase in FDIC insurance costs as the Small Bank FDIC Assessment Credit was fully utilized in 2021, and a $1.8 million increase in professional services expenses.

The conditions are subject to audit by the U.S. government, but entities that borrowed less than $2.0 million (together with any affiliates) will be deemed to have made the required certification concerning the necessity of the loan in good faith. However, the SBA does reserve the right to audit any PPP borrower. While the PPP program ended on May 31, 2021, we are now focused on assisting our customers through the loan forgiveness process.

However, PPP loans are eligible for forgiveness (in full or in part, including any accrued interest) under certain conditions. All borrowers are required to retain the supporting documents for six years. For loans (or parts of loans) that are forgiven, the lender will collect the forgiven amount from the U.S. government. The average amount of each of our originated PPP loans was approximately $0.2$66.7 million at each of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we believe is sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio given the conditions at the time. Events that are not within our control, such as changes in economic factors, could change subsequent to the reporting date and could cause increases or decreases to the allowance. The amount of the allowance is affected by loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance; recoveries on loans previously charged off, which increase the allowance; and the provision for loan losses charged to earnings, which increases the allowance.

In determining the provision for loan losses, management monitors fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries and reviews the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and anticipated economic conditions. conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as events change.

Nonperforming Assets

We have established policies and procedures to guide us in originating, monitoring and maintaining the credit quality of our loan portfolio. These policies and procedures are requiredexpected to be followed by our bankers and underwriters and exceptions to these policies require elevated levels of approval and are reported to our board of directors.

Nonperforming assets include all loans categorized as nonaccrual, loans identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), accrual loans greater than 90 days past due, and other real estate owned and other repossessed assets. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued, or the loan is placed on nonaccrual, when the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. We do not generally accrue interest on loans that are 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against interest income and future accruals of interest are discontinued. Payments by borrowers for loans on nonaccrual are applied to loan principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when, in our judgment, the borrower’s ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations under the loan agreement has improved sufficiently to reasonably assure recovery of principal and the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance. In general, we require a minimum of six consecutive months of timely payments in accordance with the contractual terms before returning a loan to accrual status.

Table of Contents

A loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR, when we, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower. The concessions may be granted in various forms including interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, extension of maturity date, waiver or deferral of payments and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. A loan that has been restructured in a TDR may not be disclosed as a TDR in years subsequent to the restructuring if certain conditions are met. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual status for a period of no less than six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. However, the borrower’s performance prior to the restructuring or other significant events at the time of restructuring may be considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan.

The CARES Act, as extended by certain provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, permits banks to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that may otherwise be characterized as a TDR and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the borrower was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, (ii) the modifications are related to COVID-19, and (iii) the modification occurs between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the date of termination of the national emergency or January 1, 2022. Federal bank regulatory authorities also issued guidance to encourage banks to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19.

As of September 30, 2021, we had active payment deferrals totaling $21.3 million compared to $65.8 million at December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $2.5 million and $51.8 million, respectively, of restructured loans were exempt from the accounting guidance for TDRs as a result of loans which are included in the COVID-19 related loan payment deferral total.

Deposits

Deposits represent our primary source of funds. We are focused on growing our core deposits through relationship-based banking with our business and consumer clients. Total deposits increased by $0.9 billion to $4.9$5.8 billion at September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2020.2021. Deposit growth over this period occurred across all of the statesprimarily in our footprint including Kansas, New Mexico and Colorado, as well as in our newerTexas markets, in Arizona and Texas. In addition, government stimulus efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to a portion of our deposit growth for both commercial and consumer clients. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased on average by $0.3 billion from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021, primarily driven by our growth in our commercial deposit base. Our certificates of deposit have decreased on average by $0.2 billion from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021 primarilygenerally due to the low interest rate environment.

Short-Term Borrowings and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Other than deposits, we also utilize Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations. FHLB advances on our line-of-credit (LOC) are considered short-term borrowings and are presented in the table below, while our FHLB fixed rate term advances are considered long-term borrowings. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our FHLB fixed rate term advances amounted to $40.0 million and $50.4 million, respectively. Our advances from the FHLB are collateralized by residential, multi-family, and commercial real estate loans. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $675.6 million and $702.5 million, respectively, subject to the availability of collateral.

We also enter into agreements with certain customers to sell securities under agreements to repurchase the security the following day. These agreements are made to provide customers with comprehensive treasury management programs a short-term return on their excess funds.

The following tables outline our various sources of short-term borrowed funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, and the amounts outstanding at the end of each period, the maximum month end amount for each component during the periods, the average amounts for each period, and the average interest rate that we paid for each borrowing source. The maximum month-end balance represents the high indebtedness for each component of borrowed funds at any month end during each of the periods shown.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to our ability to maintain cash flow that is adequate to fund operations, support asset growth, maintain reserve requirements and meet present and future obligations of deposit withdrawals, lending obligations and other contractual obligations. Our liquidity management policy
FirstSun (Parent Company)
FirstSun has routine funding requirements consisting primarily of operating expenses, debt service, and our asset and liability management policy, or ALM policy, provides the framework that we use to seek to maintain adequate liquidity and sources of available liquidity at levels that will enable usfunds used for acquisitions. FirstSun can obtain funding to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term, long-termits obligations from dividends collected from its subsidiaries, primarily the Bank, and strategicthrough the issuance of varying forms of debt. At September 30, 2022, FirstSun had cash and cash equivalents of $17.7 million and debt outstanding of $84.4 million. Management believes FirstSun has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity demands. Our Asset and Liability Management Committee, or ALCO, is responsible for oversight of our liquidity risk management activities in accordance with the provisions of our ALM Policy and applicable bank regulatory capital and liquidity laws and regulations. Our liquidity risk management process includes (i) ongoing analysis and monitoring of our fundingto meet its requirements under various economic and interest rate scenarios, (ii) review and monitoring of lenders, depositors, brokers and other liability holders to ensure appropriate diversification of funding sources and (iii) liquidity contingency planning to address liquidity needs in the eventshort-term and the long-term.
Federal banking laws regulate the amount of unforeseen market disruption, including appropriate allocationdividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. The Bank may declare dividends without prior regulatory approval that do not exceed the total of fundsretained net income for the current year combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, subject to maintenance of minimum capital requirements. Prior regulatory approval to pay dividends was not required in 2021 or 2022 and is not currently required. At September 30, 2022, the Bank could pay dividends to FirstSun of approximately $132.1 million without prior regulatory approval. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Bank paid a liquid portfoliodividend of marketable securities$8.0 million to FirstSun. During the three and investments. Wenine months ended September 30, 2022, Logia paid a dividend of $0.4 million to FirstSun.
Bank
As more fully discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K, we continuously monitor our liquidity position in order for our assets and liabilitiesmake adjustments to be managed in a manner that we believe will meet our immediate and long-term funding requirements. We seek to manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assetssources and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectivesuses of our stockholders. We also monitor our liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy, and the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of our securities and loan portfolios and deposits. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of control whenfunds as we make investment decisions. Net deposit inflows and outflows, however, are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of certainty.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of our liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers and capital expenditures. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through our deposits, FHLB advances and the principal and interest payments we receive on loans and investment securities.Cash, interest-bearing deposits in third party banks, securities available for sale and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios are our most liquid assets.Other sources of liquidity that are available to us include the sale of loans we hold for investment, the ability to acquire additional national market non-core deposits, borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window and the issuance of debt or equity securities. We believe that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet our current and reasonably foreseeable future liquidity needs.

The liability portion of our balance sheet serves as a primary source of liquidity. We plan to meet our future cash needs primarily through the generation of deposits. Customer deposits have historically provided a sizeable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. At September 30, 2021,2022, customer deposits, excluding brokered deposits and certificates of deposit greater than $250,000, were 119.9%97.6% of net loans, compared with 101.0%113.2% at December 31, 2020.2021. For additional information related to our deposits, see the Deposits section above. We are also a member of the FHLB, from which we can borrow for leverage or liquidity purposes. The FHLB requires that securities and qualifying loans be pledged to secure any advances. At September 30, 2021,2022, we had $40.0$310.9 million in advances from the FHLB and a remaining credit availability of $556.5$659.5 million. In addition, we maintain a $9.4$6.5 million line with the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window that is secured by certain loans from our loan portfolio.
Management believes the Bank has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity to meet its requirements in the short-term and the long-term.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2022 was $750.7 million, compared to $524.0 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $226.6 million, or 43.2%. The increase in stockholders’ equity relates primarily to the value of the common shares issued to the Pioneer shareholders in our Merger with Pioneer on April 1, 2022, and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net, for unrealized losses in our available-for-sale securities portfolio resulting from the rising interest rate environment.
Capital Adequacy

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Management routinely analyzes our capital to seek to ensure an optimized capital structure. For further information on capital adequacy see
Note 14 - Regulatory Capital Matters to the consolidated financial statements.

Material Contractual Obligations, Commitments, and Contingent Liabilities

We are party to various derivative contracts as a means to manage the balance sheet and our related exposure to changes in interest rates, to manage our residential real estate loan origination and sale activity, and to provide derivative contracts to our clients. Since the derivative liabilities recorded on the balance sheet change frequently and do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these liabilities are not included in the table of contractual

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2021 was $519.9 million, comparedNote 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments to $485.8 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $34.1 million, or 7.0%. The increase was primarily driven by net income in 2021.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by federal banking regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on ourthe consolidated financial statements.

Regulatory capital rules adoptedIn the normal course of business, various legal actions and proceedings are pending against us and our affiliates which are incidental to the business in July 2013which they are engaged. Further discussion of contingent liabilities is included in Note 17 - Commitments and fully-phased in as of January 1, 2019, which we referContingencies to as the Basel III rules, impose minimum capital requirements for bank holding companies and banks. The Basel III rules apply to all national and state banks and savings associations regardless of size and bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with consolidated assets of more than $3 billion. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments to executives, a covered banking organization must maintain the fully-phased in “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% on top of its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer must consist solely of common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, but the buffer applies to all three measurements (common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital).

Off-Balance Sheet items

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.
Further discussion of contingent liabilities is included in
Note 17 - 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 amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral is primarily obtained in the form of commercial and residential real estate (including income producing commercial properties).
Contingencies
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee to a third-party the performance of a customer. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the consolidated financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for funded instruments. We do not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and standby letters of credit.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Refer to the discussion of market risks included in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and/or declinesRisk” in the net2021 Form 10-K. There has been no material change in the types of market value of the balance sheet due to changes in market rates. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk which impacts our net interest income, fee income related to interest sensitive activities such as mortgage origination and servicing income and loan and deposit demand.

We are subject to interest rate risk due to:
the maturity or repricing of assets and liabilities at different times or for different amounts;
differences in short-term and long-term market interest rate changes; and
the remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change.

Our Asset Liability Committee, or ALCO, which is composed of our executive officers and certain other members of management, monitors interest rate risk on an ongoing basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. The ALCO reviews interest rate positions and considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. However, management has the latitude to change interest rate positions within certain limits if, in management’s judgment, the change will enhance profitability or minimize risk.

To assess and manage interest rate risk, sensitivity analysis is used to determine the impact on earnings and the net market value of the balance sheet across various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies.

risks we face since December 31, 2021.
Management uses a simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates across various interest rate scenarios, which seeks to demonstrate the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention. In addition, we assume certain correlation rates, often referred to as a “deposit beta,” for interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change relative to changes in benchmark interest rates. The effect on net interest income over a 12-month time horizon due to hypothetical changes in market interest rates is presented in the table below. In this interest rate shock simulation, as of the periods presented, interest rates have been adjusted by instantaneous parallel changes rather than in a ramp simulation, which applies interest rate changes over time. All rates, short-term and long-term, are changed by the same amount (e.g., plus or minus 100 basis points) resulting in the shape of the yield curve remaining unchanged.
