For available for sale securities, the Company assesses whether a loss is from credit or other factors and considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, adverse changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, a security's market yield as compared to similar securities and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows is less than the amortized cost, a credit loss exists and an allowance is created, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision and a subsequent charge-off of $6.6 million in subordinated debt securities of Signature Bank, which failed in March 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $2.9 million recovery on the subordinated debt securities of Signature Bank.

For held to maturity securities, management measures expected credit losses on a collective basis by major security type. All of the mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses and, therefore, the expectation of non-payment is zero. A range of historical losses method is utilized in estimating the net amount expected to be collected for mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and obligations of states and political subdivisions.
The gross unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-backed securities relate to investment securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and U.S. government agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association. The total gross unrealized losses, shown in the tables above, were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and levels of market liquidity, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities.
Credit Quality Indicators
Credit ratings, which are updated monthly, are a key measure for estimating the probability of a bond's default and for monitoring credit quality on an on-going basis. For bonds other than U.S. Treasuries and bonds issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, credit ratings issued by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations are considered in conjunction with an assessment by the Company's management. Investment grade reflects a credit quality of BBB or above.

Equity securities at fair value
The Company has an equity securities portfolio, which primarily consists of investments in Community Reinvestment funds. The fair value of the equity portfolio was $17.6 million and $17.7 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no sales of equity securities or Community Reinvestment funds. The Company recorded fair value losses on equity securities of $129,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and fair value gains of $148,000 for the first quarter of 2023. Fair value gain or loss on equity securities are recorded in noninterest income.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's investments in Community Reinvestment funds include $7.8 million that are primarily invested in community development loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Because the funds are primarily guaranteed by the federal government, there are minimal changes in fair value between accounting periods. These funds can be redeemed with 60 days' notice at the net asset value less unpaid management fees with the approval of the fund manager. As of March 31, 2024, the net amortized cost equaled the fair value of the investment. There are no unfunded commitments related to these investments.
14



The Community Reinvestment funds also included $9.8 million of investment in government guaranteed loans, mortgage-backed securities, small business loans and other instruments supporting affordable housing and economic development as of March 31, 2024. The Company may redeem these funds at the net asset value calculated at the end of the current business day less any unpaid management fees. There are no restrictions on redemptions for the holdings in these investments other than the notice required by the fund manager. There are no unfunded commitments related to these investments.

Total $ 8,320,424  $ 8,343,861 
Loans are recorded at amortized cost, which includes principal balance and net deferred loan fees and costs. The Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from amortized cost. Accrued interest receivable is reported separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $29.5 million at March 31, 2024 and $29.1 million at December 31, 2023. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net fee or cost is recognized in interest income as an adjustment of yield. Net deferred loan fees are included in loans by respective segment and totaled $2.5 million at March 31, 2024 and $1.8 million at December 31, 2023.
Consumer loans included overdraft deposit balances of $459,000 and $619,000, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $4.64 billion and $4.58 billion of loans pledged for potential borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB"), respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management closely and continually monitors the quality of its loans and assesses the quantitative and qualitative risks arising from the credit quality of its loans. Lakeland assigns a credit risk rating to all loans and loan commitments. The credit risk rating system has been developed by management to provide a methodology to be used by loan officers, department heads and senior management in identifying various levels of credit risk that exist within the loan portfolios. The risk rating system assists senior management in evaluating the loan portfolio and analyzing trends. In assigning risk ratings, management considers, among other things, the borrower’s ability to service the debt based on relevant information such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic conditions.
Management categorizes loans and commitments into the following risk ratings:
Pass: "Pass" assets are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or guarantors, if any, or by the fair value of any underlying collateral.
Watch: "Watch" assets require more than the usual amount of monitoring due to declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening market. These borrowers generally have limited additional debt capacity and modest coverage and average or below average asset quality, margins and market share.
Special Mention: "Special mention" assets exhibit identifiable credit weakness, which if not checked or corrected could weaken the loan quality or inadequately protect the bank’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: "Substandard" assets are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligors or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard loan has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
15



Doubtful: "Doubtful" assets exhibit all of the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans, but have the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full improbable on the basis of existing facts.
Loss: “Loss” is a rating for loans or portions of loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable loans is not warranted.

The following table presents the risk category of loans by class of loan and vintage as of March 31, 2024.

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans
Loans are considered past due if required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were contractually due. A loan is generally considered non-performing when it is placed on non-accrual status. A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days past due if such loan has been identified as presenting uncertainty with respect to the collectability of interest and principal. A loan past due 90 days or more may remain on accruing status if such loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.
The following tables present the payment status of the recorded investment in past due loans as of the periods noted, by class of loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Modifications of Loans to Debtors Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2022-02, "Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" ("ASU 2022-02") as of January 1, 2023. Among other things, ASU 2022-02 eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance of troubled debt restructured loans ("TDRs") so that creditors will apply the same guidance to all modifications when determining whether a modification results in a new receivable or continuation of an existing receivable. ASU 2022-02 requires vintage disclosures of gross charge-offs as shown in the vintage disclosure above. It also replaces the historical disclosure of TDRs with the new disclosure of modifications of receivables to debtors experiencing financial difficulty.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, loans were classified as TDRs in cases where borrowers experienced financial difficulties and Lakeland made certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms. Restructured loans typically involved a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate, a moratorium of principal payments and/or an extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate of a new loan with similar risk.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no loan modifications that met the definition of a modification to a debtor experiencing financial difficulty. At December 31, 2023, there were no loans that were modified that met the definition of a modification to a debtor experiencing financial difficulty.

22



Note 6 - Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company measures expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, investments and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures in accordance with ASU 2016-13. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a description of the Company's methodology.
Under the standard, the Company's methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is based upon key assumptions, including the lookback periods, historic net charge-off factors, economic forecasts, reversion periods, prepayments and qualitative adjustments. The allowance is measured on a collective, or pool, basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share common risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. At March 31, 2024, loans totaling $8.24 billion were evaluated collectively and the allowance on these balances totaled $74.5 million and loans totaling $77.3 million were evaluated on an individual basis with the specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses totaling $2.3 million. Loans evaluated on an individual basis include $68.7 million in PCD loans, which had a specific allowance for credit losses of $2.3 million. The Company made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the estimate of credit losses.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The allowance for credit losses on loans is summarized in the following table:
For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the allowance for credit loss on available for sale and held to maturity securities was $0 and $146,000, respectively.
25



The allowance for credit losses on securities is summarized in the following tables:
Available for Sale For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) 2024 2023
Balance at beginning of the period $ —  $ 310 
Charge-offs —  (6,640)
Recoveries 2,860  — 
  Net recoveries (charge-offs ) 2,860  (6,640)
(Benefit) provision for credit loss expense (2,860) 6,490 
Balance at end of the period $ —  $ 160 
Held to Maturity For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) 2024 2023
Balance at beginning of the period $ 146  $ 107 
(Benefit) provision for credit loss expense —  50 
Balance at end of the period $ 146  $ 157 

The provision for credit loss expense for available for sale securities changed from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to a benefit of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of a $6.6 million provision and subsequent charge-off of subordinated debt securities of Signature Bank which failed in March 2023 and a subsequent sale and recovery of the Signature Bank subordinated debt securities in March 2024.
Accrued interest receivable on securities is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $8.2 million at March 31, 2024 and $8.1 million at December 31, 2023. The Company made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the estimate of credit losses on securities.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Exposures
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures is reported in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability represents an estimate of expected credit losses arising from off-balance sheet exposures such as letters of credit, guarantees and unfunded loan commitments. The process for measuring lifetime expected credit losses on these exposures is consistent with that for loans as discussed above, but is subject to an additional estimate reflecting the likelihood that funding will occur. No liability is recognized for off balance sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Adjustments to the liability are reported as a component of the provision for credit losses.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures was $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a benefit for credit losses on off-balance-sheet exposures of $72,000 and a provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures of $140,000, respectively.
Note 7 – Leases
The Company leases certain premises and equipment under operating leases. Portions of certain properties are subleased for terms extending through 2025. At March 31, 2024, the Company had lease liabilities totaling $15.8 million and right-of-use assets totaling $15.0 million related to these leases. At December 31, 2023, the Company had lease liabilities totaling $16.9 million and right-of-use assets totaling $16.0 million. The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.
26



At March 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 8.24 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.27%. At December 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 8.18 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.24%.
As the Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area maintenance and utilities. Lease costs were as follows:
For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Note 9 – Borrowings
Overnight and Short-Term Borrowings
At March 31, 2024, the Company had $575.0 million overnight and short-term borrowings from the FHLB and $600.0 million at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, Lakeland had overnight and short-term federal funds lines available to borrow up to $250.0 million from correspondent banks. Lakeland had no overnight borrowings from correspondent banks at March 31, 2024 and $89.4 million in overnight or short-term borrowings from correspondent banks at December 31, 2023. Lakeland may also borrow from the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on the fair value of collateral pledged. Lakeland had no borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Also included in the balances at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were short-term securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $28.0 million and $24.8 million, respectively. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are overnight sweep arrangement accounts with our customers. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $20.7 million of mortgage-backed securities and $14.2 million of collateralized mortgage obligations pledged for its securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
At times, the fair values of securities collateralizing our securities sold under agreements to repurchase may decline due to changes in interest rates and may necessitate our lenders to issue a “margin call” which requires Lakeland to pledge additional collateral to meet that margin call.
FHLB Advances
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had advances from the FHLB, which totaled $325.0 million, with a weighted average rate of 4.71%. These advances are collateralized by first mortgage loans and have prepayment penalties. The schedule of maturities of advances at March 31, 2024 is as follows:

Note 11 – Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is interest income generated from loans and investment securities. Interest income is recognized according to the terms of the financial instrument agreement over the life of the loan or investment security unless it is determined that the counterparty is unable to continue making interest payments. Interest income also includes prepaid interest fees from commercial customers, which approximates the interest foregone on the balance of the loan prepaid.
The Company’s additional source of income, also referred to as noninterest income, is generated from deposit related fees, interchange fees, loan fees, merchant fees, loan sales, investment services and other miscellaneous income and is largely based on contracts with customers. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company considers a customer to be any party to which the Company will provide goods or services that are an output of the Company’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. There is little seasonality with regards to revenue from contracts with customers and all inter-company revenue is eliminated when the Company’s financial statements are consolidated.
Generally, the Company enters into contracts with customers that are short-term in nature where the performance obligations are fulfilled and payment is processed at the same time. Such examples include revenue related to merchant fees, interchange fees and investment services income. In addition, revenue generated from existing customer relationships such as deposit accounts are also considered short-term in nature, because the relationship may be terminated at any time and payment is processed at the time performance obligations are fulfilled. As a result, the Company does not have contract assets, contract liabilities or related receivable accounts for contracts with customers. In cases where collectability is a concern, the Company does not record revenue.
Generally, the pricing of transactions between the Company and each customer is either (i) established within a legally enforceable contract between the two parties, as is the case with loan sales, or (ii) disclosed to the customer at a specific point in time, as is the case when a deposit account is opened or before a new loan is underwritten. Fees are usually fixed at a specific amount or as a percentage of a transaction amount. No judgment or estimates by management are required to record revenue related to these transactions and pricing is clearly identified within these contracts.
The Company primarily operates in one geographic region, Northern and Central New Jersey and contiguous areas. Therefore, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one operating segment or unit.
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by contract-type and timing of revenue recognition, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Noninterest income not generated from customers during the Company’s ordinary activities primarily relates to income from bank owned life insurance, gains/losses on the sale of investment securities, gains/losses on the sale of other real estate owned, gains/losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment and mortgage servicing rights.

Note 14 – Derivatives
Lakeland is a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. Lakeland executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that Lakeland executes with a third-party financial institution, such that Lakeland minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Because the interest rate swaps do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties. Lakeland had no investment securities available for sale pledged for collateral on its interest rate swaps with financial institutions at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest level priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The following describes the three levels of fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; includes U.S. Treasury Notes, and other U.S. Government Agency securities that actively trade in over-the-counter markets; equity securities and mutual funds that actively trade in over-the-counter markets.
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability including yield curves, volatilities and prepayment speeds.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and that are consequently not based on market activity but upon particular valuation techniques.
The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are its investment securities available for sale, equity securities and its interest rate swaps. The Company obtains fair values on its securities using information from a third-party servicer. If quoted prices for securities are available in an active market, those securities are classified as Level 1 securities. The Company has U.S. Treasury Notes that are classified as Level 1 securities. Level 2 securities were primarily comprised of U.S. Agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate securities. Fair values were estimated primarily by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or through the use of pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids and offers. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the pricing information received from the Company’s third-party pricing service. This review may include a comparison to non-binding third-party quotes.
The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models from a third party using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of the periods presented by level within the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and during 2023, the Company did not make any transfers between any levels within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has a held for sale loan portfolio that consists of residential mortgages that are being sold in the secondary market. The Company records these mortgages at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is generally determined by the value of purchase commitments.
Loans that do not have similar risk characteristics to the segments reported must be individually evaluated to determine an appropriate allowance. Management has identified criteria and procedures for identifying whether a loan should be individually evaluated for calculation of expected credit losses. If a loan is identified as meeting any of the criteria, it is deemed to have risk characteristics that are unique and will be separated from a pool. Those loans that are considered to have unique risk characteristics are then subjected to an individual allowance evaluation using either the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if collateral-dependent or the discounted cash flow method.
Other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, representing property acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, are carried at fair value less estimated disposal costs of the acquired property. Fair value on other real estate owned is based on the appraised value of the collateral using discount rates or capitalization rates similar to those used in impaired loan valuation. The fair value of other repossessed assets is estimated by inquiry through a recognized valuation resource. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no OREO or other repossessed assets.
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Changes in economic conditions, locally or nationally, could impact the value of the estimated amounts of individually evaluated loans, OREO and other repossessed assets. The Company had no financial assets that were measured on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments
Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. Management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.
The estimation methodologies used, the estimated fair values and recorded book balances at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are outlined below.
This summary, as well as the table below, excludes financial assets and liabilities for which carrying value approximates fair value. For financial assets, these include cash and cash equivalents. For financial liabilities, these include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The estimated fair value of demand, savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Carrying value is used because there is no stated maturity on these accounts, and the customer has the ability to withdraw the funds immediately. Also excluded from this summary and the following table are those financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as previously described.
The fair value of investment securities held to maturity is measured using information from the same third-party servicer used for investment securities available for sale using the same methodologies discussed above.
FHLB stock is an equity interest that can be sold to the issuing FHLB, to other FHLBs, or to other member banks at its par value. Because ownership of these securities is restricted, they do not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company’s FHLB stock is recorded at cost or par value and is evaluated for impairment each reporting period by considering the ultimate recoverability of the investment rather than temporary declines in value. The Company’s evaluation primarily includes an evaluation of liquidity, capitalization, operating performance, commitments, and regulatory or legislative events.
The net loan portfolio has been valued using an exit price approach, which incorporates a buildup discount rate calculation that uses a swap rate adjusted for credit risk, servicing costs, a liquidity premium and a prepayment premium.
For fixed maturity certificates of deposit, fair value is estimated based on the present value of discounted cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
The fair value of long-term debt is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The Company estimates the discount rate using the rates currently offered for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on bid/ask prices from brokers for similar types of instruments.
The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
36



The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are deemed immaterial.
The following table presents the carrying values, fair values and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments not carried at fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

This section should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
The information disclosed in this document includes various forward-looking statements that are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to credit quality (including delinquency trends and the allowance for credit losses), corporate objectives and other financial and business matters. The words “anticipates,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that these forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and speak only as of the date made, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which may change over time. Actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
In addition to the risk factors disclosed elsewhere in this document and in the Company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially and adversely from such forward-looking statements: changes in levels of inflation and market interest rates, which may affect demand for our products and the value of our financial instruments; pricing pressures on loan and deposit products; changes in the financial services industry and the U.S. and global capital markets; changes in economic conditions nationally, regionally and in the Company’s markets; the nature and timing of actions of the Federal Reserve Board and other regulators; the nature and timing of legislation affecting the financial services industry; changes in federal and state tax laws; government intervention in the U.S. financial system; credit risks of Lakeland’s lending activities; the effects of the recent turmoil in the banking industry (including the failures of three financial institutions); successful implementation, deployment and upgrades of new and existing technology, systems, services and products; customers’ acceptance of Lakeland’s products and services; and expenses related to our proposed merger with Provident Financial Services, Inc. ("Provident"), unexpected delays related to the merger, inability to satisfy closing conditions required to complete the merger, and failure to realize anticipated efficiencies and synergies from the merger.
38



The above-listed risk factors are not exhaustive, particularly as to possible future events, and new risk factors may emerge from time to time. Certain events may occur that could cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different than those described in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statements made by the Company that are not historical facts should be considered to be forward-looking statements. The Company is not obligated to update and does not undertake to update any of its forward-looking statements made herein.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and predominant practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Lakeland and its subsidiaries, including Lakeland NJ Investment Corp., Lakeland Investment Corp., Lakeland Equity, Inc., Lakeland Preferred Equity, Inc., 1st Constitution Investment Company of New Jersey, Inc. and 1st Constitution Real Estate Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, including assumptions or estimation techniques utilized, as compared to those disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Executive Summary
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the banking industry experienced volatility with high-profile bank failures and industry-wide concerns related to liquidity, deposit outflows, unrealized securities losses and eroding confidence in the banking system. Despite industry concerns, the Company's liquidity position remains strong. The Company took a number of preemptive actions, which included pro-active outreach to clients and actions to maximize its funding sources in response to these recent developments, including increasing brokered time deposits and increasing collateralized lines of credit with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. We also increased our usage of the Insured Cash Sweep ("ICS") product, as a method to increase the level of our customers' deposit insurance. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $2.3 billion in deposits that were both uninsured and uncollateralized and we have cash and additional borrowing capacity of $2.7 billion. Furthermore, the Company's capital ratios remain above levels considered by the regulators to be "well-capitalized" as of March 31, 2024. For more information, see "Liquidity" below.
On September 27, 2022, the Company and Provident announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger. The merger proposes to combine two complementary banking platforms into a company that will have more than $25 billion in assets, $19 billion in total loans and $18 billion in total deposits. On February 1, 2023, the shareholders of both the Company and Provident approved the transaction. Provident has received all required regulatory approvals subject to certain conditions. The merger is expected to be consummated during the second quarter of 2024. For more information please see Note 2 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Financial Overview
The Company reported net income of $19.8 million and earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $0.30 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $19.8 million and EPS of $0.30 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the first quarter of 2024, annualized return on average assets was 0.73%, annualized return on average common equity was 6.79% and annualized return on average tangible common equity (a Non-GAAP financial measure) was 8.91%, compared to 0.75%, 7.17%, and 9.57%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2023.
Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 of 2.46% decreased 61 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2023 and decreased six basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
Total loans, net of deferred fees, declined $23.4 million during the first three months of 2024 to $8.32 billion. Total deposits decreased $80.8 million during the first three months of 2024 to $8.50 billion.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
Net Income
Net income was $19.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first three months of 2024 similar to the first three months of 2023.
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the first three months of 2024 was $62.9 million, compared to $76.4 million for the first three months of 2023. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by an increase in the yield on interest earning assets.
39



The net interest margin of 2.46% in the first three months of 2024 decreased from 3.07% for the same period in 2023, primarily due to the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits partially offset by an increase in the yield in interest-earning assets. The components of net interest income are discussed in greater detail below.
The following table reflects the components of the Company’s net interest income, setting forth for the periods presented, (1) average assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, (2) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (4) the Company’s net interest spread (i.e., the average yield on interest-earning assets less the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities) and (5) the Company’s net interest margin. Rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are computed on a tax equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21%.

On a tax equivalent basis, interest income increased $14.4 million, or 13%, from $114.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, to $129.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the yields of interest-earning assets resulting from the increased interest rate environment. Average loans increased $403.8 million, or 5%, compared to the first three months of 2023 which also contributed to the increase in interest income. The yield on average loans of 5.48% in the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 38 basis points higher than the same period in 2023 due to the increased interest rate environment. Average taxable and tax-exempt securities decreased $148.0 million and $52.7 million, respectively, for the first three months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to maturities of securities. The yield on average taxable and tax-exempt investment securities increased 26 and 9 basis points, respectively. Average federal funds sold increased $4.5 million in the first three months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and the yield on federal funds sold increased 166 basis points.
Total interest expense of $66.3 million in the first three months of 2024 was $27.8 million greater than the interest expense reported for the same period in 2023. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $469.3 million, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.11% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 3.39% in the first three months of 2024. Rates paid increased in all categories of interest-bearing deposits due to the increased interest rate environment. The cost of borrowings and time deposits increased by 42 basis points and 186 basis points, respectively. Additionally, higher costing average borrowings and time deposit balances increased $98.4 million and $644.1 million, respectively. Average time deposits as a percent of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 19% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 26% in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Time deposits typically have a higher cost of funds than savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts.
Provision for Credit Losses
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $2.7 million benefit for credit losses compared to a $7.9 million provision for the same period last year. As of March 31, 2024, the provision was comprised of a provision for credit losses on loans of $239,000, a benefit for credit losses on securities of $2.9 million and a benefit for off-balance-sheet exposures of $72,000. The provision for credit losses on loans in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was comprised of a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.2 million, a provision for credit losses on securities of $6.5 million and a provision for off-balance-sheet exposures of $140,000. The benefit for credit losses on securities during the first three months of 2024 resulted primarily from a $2.9 million recovery on Signature Bank subordinated debt previously charged off, while the provision for securities losses during the first three months of 2023 was primarily due to a $6.6 million provision and subsequent charge-off of Signature Bank subordinated debt which failed in March 2023. Charge-offs totaled $617,000 and recoveries totaled $2.9 million (including the recovery of the Signature Bank subordinated debt) in the first three months of 2024 compared to $6.8 million in charge-offs (including the charge-off of the Signature Bank subordinated debt) and $65,000 in recoveries in the first three months of 2023. For more information regarding the determination of the provision, see “Risk Elements” below.
Noninterest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, noninterest income totaled $5.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Service charges on deposit accounts declined $830,000 from the first quarter of 2023 to the same period in 2024 resulting from a decline in interchange income due to the impact of the Durbin Amendment which became effective for Lakeland in the third quarter of 2023. One of the provisions of the Durbin Amendment is reduced interchange income for banks over $10 billion in assets. Commissions and fees decreased $235,000 driven primarily by decreases in loan fee income and investment services income. Losses on equity securities totaled $129,000 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to gains of $148,000 in the first quarter of 2023. Gains on sales of loans decreased $125,000 compared to the first quarter of 2023, while swap income increased $233,000. Additionally, income on bank owned life insurance increased $101,000 from the first quarter of 2023 to the same period in 2024 due primarily to a claim received in the first quarter of 2024.

41



Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $44.6 million decreased $4.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 due primarily to compensation and employee benefits which decreased $3.1 million primarily as a result of a decline in headcount related to the anticipated merger with Provident Financial Services, Inc. Merger-related expenses declined from $295,000 in the first quarter of 2023 to $68,000 for the first quarter of 2024 due to the timing of expenses incurred. Other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024 decreased $865,000 compared to the same period in 2023 due primarily to decreased consulting fees, telecommunications expense, appraisal fees and other expenses. FDIC insurance expense increased $430,000 due to an increase in the assessment rate starting in second quarter of 2023 related to Lakeland's asset size exceeding $10 billion. The Company’s efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 64.88% in the first three months of 2024, compared to 57.84% for the same period in 2023. The Company uses this ratio because it believes that the ratio provides a good comparison of period-to-period performance and because the ratio is widely accepted in the banking industry. The efficiency ratio increased from first quarter 2023 to first quarter 2024 due to decreased revenue resulting from increased deposit and borrowing costs.

The following table shows the calculation of the efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, for the periods presented:

The effective tax rate in the first three months of 2024 was 23.0% compared to 22.9% during the same period last year.
Financial Condition
The Company’s total assets decreased $173.7 million from December 31, 2023, to $10.96 billion at March 31, 2024. Total loans, net of deferred fees, were $8.32 billion, a decrease of $23.4 million from $8.34 billion at December 31, 2023. Total deposits were $8.50 billion, a decrease of $80.8 million from December 31, 2023, while total borrowings decreased $111.1 million to $1.12 billion at March 31, 2024.
Loans
Lakeland primarily serves New Jersey, the Hudson Valley region in New York and the surrounding areas. Its equipment finance division serves a broader market with a primary focus on the Northeast United States. Total loans, net of deferred fees, totaled $8.32 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $23.4 million as compared to December 31, 2023. Loan balances increased from December 31, 2023 in residential mortgages by $11.8 million, or 1% and construction loans by $14.5 million or 5%, while commercial real estate loans declined by $48.9 million or 1%. For more information on the loan portfolio, see Note 5 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Risk Elements
Commercial loans are placed on a non-accrual status with all accrued interest and unpaid interest reversed if (a) because of the deterioration in the financial position of the borrower, they are maintained on a cash basis (which means payments are applied when and as received rather than on a regularly scheduled basis), (b) payment of all contractual principal and interest is not expected, or (c) principal and interest have been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the obligation is both well-secured and in process of collection. Residential mortgage loans and closed-end consumer loans are placed on non-accrual status at the time principal and interest have been in default for a period of 90 days or more, except where there exists sufficient collateral to cover the defaulted principal and interest payments, and the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection.
42



Open-end consumer loans secured by real estate are generally placed on non-accrual status and reviewed for charge-off when principal and interest payments are four months in arrears unless the obligations are well-secured and in the process of collection. Interest thereafter on such charged-off consumer loans is taken into income when received only after full recovery of principal. As a general rule, a non-accrual asset may be restored to accrual status when none of its principal or interest is due and unpaid and satisfactory payments have been received for a sustained period (usually six months), or when it otherwise becomes well-secured and in the process of collection.
Non-performing assets, including non-accrual PCD loans, decreased $11.1 million, or 43%, from $26.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $14.9 million at March 31, 2024. Construction loans decreased $12.7 million due to the payoff of a construction loan that was in non-accrual status as of December 31, 2023. Non-accrual loans at March 31, 2024 included two loan relationships with a balance of $1 million or greater, totaling $7.5 million and one loan relationship between $500,000 and $1.0 million, totaling $517,000. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were no loans that were past due more than 89 days and still accruing.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2022-02, "Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" ("ASU 2022-02"). Among other things, ASU 2022-02 eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance of TDRs so that creditors will apply the same guidance to all modifications when determining whether a modification results in a new receivable or continuation of an existing receivable. ASU 2022-02 requires vintage disclosures of gross charge-offs as shown in the vintage disclosure contained in Note 5 in the Notes to the Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It also replaces the disclosure of TDRs with the disclosure of modifications of receivables to debtors experiencing financial difficulty.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, there were no loan modifications that met the definition of a modification to a debtor experiencing financial difficulty. As of December 31, 2023, there were no loan modifications that met the definition of a modification to a debtor experiencing financial difficulty.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $97.7 million and $64.8 million, respectively, of loans that were rated substandard that were not classified as non-performing. There were no loans at March 31, 2024, other than those designated non-performing or substandard, where the Company was aware of any credit conditions of any borrowers or obligors that would indicate a strong possibility of the borrowers not complying with present terms and conditions of repayment and which may result in such loans being included as non-accrual, past due or renegotiated at a future date.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The Company accounts for the allowance for credit losses using ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Under the standard, the Company's methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is based upon key assumptions, including the lookback periods, historic net charge-off factors, economic forecasts, reversion periods, prepayments and qualitative adjustments. The allowance is measured on a collective, or pool, basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share common risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation.
The overall balance of the allowance for credit losses on loans of $76.8 million at March 31, 2024 decreased $340,000 from December 31, 2023.

Non-accrual loans of $14.9 million at March 31, 2024 decreased $11.1 million from December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was 0.92% at March 31, 2024 compared to 0.92% at December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding was 0.03% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Management believes, based on appraisals and estimated selling costs, that the majority of the Company's non-performing loans are adequately secured and that reserves on its non-performing loans are adequate. Based upon the process employed and giving recognition to all accompanying factors related to the loan portfolio, management considers the allowance for credit losses to be adequate at March 31, 2024.

Investment Securities
Investment securities decreased $41.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1.74 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $1.78 billion at December 31, 2023. For detailed information on the composition and maturity distribution of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, see Note 4 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Deposits
Total deposits decreased from $8.58 billion at December 31, 2023 to $8.50 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $80.8 million. Savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts decreased $41.5 million, or 1%, while total time deposits increased $63.3 million, or 3%, as depositors moved funds to higher yielding non-core products. Noninterest-bearing deposits also decreased $102.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1.7 billion.
Liquidity
“Liquidity” measures whether an entity has sufficient cash flow to meet its financial obligations and commitments on a timely basis. The Company is liquid when its subsidiary bank has the cash available to meet the borrowing and cash withdrawal requirements of customers and the Company can pay for current and planned expenditures and satisfy its debt obligations.
Lakeland funds loan demand and operating expenses from several sources:
•Net income. Cash provided by operating activities was $24.6 million for the first three months of 2024 compared to $36.8 million for the same period in 2023.
•Deposits. Lakeland can offer new products or change its rate structure in order to increase deposits.
•Sales of investment securities. At March 31, 2024, the Company had $914.0 million in securities designated “available for sale.” Of these securities, $849.0 million were pledged to secure public deposits, and for other purposes required by applicable laws and regulations.
•Principal repayments on loans.
•Credit lines. As a member of the FHLB, Lakeland has the ability to borrow overnight based on the fair value of collateral pledged. Lakeland had $575.0 million of overnight borrowings from the FHLB on March 31, 2024. Lakeland had remaining availability of $1.0 billion for borrowing at the FHLB on March 31, 2024. Lakeland also has overnight federal funds lines available for it to borrow up to $250.0 million, none of which was borrowed overnight on March 31, 2024. Lakeland may also borrow from the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. As of March 31, 2024, Lakeland had availability to borrow up to $1.1 billion from the Federal Reserve, although it has no present intention to do so. Lakeland had no borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of March 31, 2024.
•Other borrowings. Lakeland can also generate funds by utilizing long-term debt or securities sold under agreements to repurchase that would be collateralized by security or mortgage collateral. At times, the fair value of securities collateralizing our securities sold under agreements to repurchase may decline due to changes in interest rates and may necessitate our lenders to issue a “margin call” which requires Lakeland to pledge additional collateral to meet that margin call.
Management and the Board monitor the Company’s liquidity through the Asset/Liability Committee, which monitors the Company’s compliance with certain regulatory ratios and other various liquidity guidelines. Management is closely monitoring changes in liquidity needs. The Company has increased collateral pledged and expanded access to additional borrowings should it be necessary in order to meet liquidity needs. While we are unable to predict actual fluctuations in deposit or cash balances, management continues to monitor liquidity and believes that its current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet its current and future operational needs.
The cash flow statements for the periods presented provide an indication of the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash flow statement for the three months ended March 31, 2024 follows.
Cash and cash equivalents totaling $207.6 million on March 31, 2024 decreased $113.0 million from December 31, 2023. Operating activities provided $24.6 million in net cash. Investing activities provided $64.6 million in net cash, primarily due to maturities and payoffs of investment securities of $41.9 million and net loan payments of $23.8 million. Financing activities used $202.3 million in net cash primarily due to declines in deposits and short term borrowings of $80.8 million and $111.2 million, respectively. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments and deposit maturities.

Capital Resources
Total stockholders’ equity increased to $1.18 billion on March 31, 2024 from $1.17 billion on December 31, 2023, an increase of $10.1 million. Book value per common share increased to $18.10 on March 31, 2024 from $17.98 on December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per share increased from $13.69 per share on December 31, 2023 to $13.83 per share on March 31, 2024. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. The increase in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was due in part to $19.8 million of net income partially offset by other comprehensive loss of $1.1 million and by the payment of cash dividends on common stock of $9.5 million.
The Company and Lakeland are subject to various regulatory capital requirements that are monitored by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can lead to certain supervisory actions by regulators; any supervisory action could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company or Lakeland or their financial statements. The Company and Lakeland Bank include in their Common Tier 1 Capital ("CET1") common stock and related surplus, and retained earnings net of treasury stock. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we elected to opt out of the requirement to include components of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in CET1. As of March 31, 2024, the Company and Lakeland met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.     
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reported amounts are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s management uses certain supplemental non-GAAP information in its analysis of the Company’s financial results. Specifically, the Company provides measurements and ratios based on tangible equity and tangible assets. These measures are utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors.
47



The Company also provides measures based on what it believes are its operating earnings on a consistent basis, and excludes material non-routine operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. The Company’s management believes that providing this information to analysts and investors allows them to better understand and evaluate the Company’s core financial results for the periods in question.
These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)" ("ASU 2023-09"). The amendments in this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU will be effective for financial statements issued by public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the Company's disclosures.
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)" ("ASU 2022-03"). The guidance clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibits the sale of an equity security, amends a related illustrative example, and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. This ASU will be effective for financial statements issued by public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2020, FASB issued Update 2020-04, an update to Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. The update provides guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. The update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met and only applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In addition, the update provides optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate. In December 2022, FASB issued Update 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which allows companies to apply the standard as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter until December 31, 2024. During this time period, the Company continued to convert LIBOR-based loans to SOFR and does not expect the impact to its financial statements to be material.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company manages interest rate risk and market risk by identifying and quantifying interest rate risk exposures using simulation analysis and economic value at risk models. Net interest income simulation considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet including the effects of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, net interest income simulation is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and the behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market Value of Portfolio Equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet items. Changes in estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. These assumptions could include prepayment rates, sensitivity of non-maturity deposits and other similar assumptions. Therefore, if our assumptions should change, this technique may not accurately reflect the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company’s net interest income or net portfolio value.
The starting point (or “base case”) for the following table is an estimate of the following year’s net interest income assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net interest income estimated for this purpose for the next twelve months (the base case) is $267.4 million. The information provided for net interest income assumes that changes in interest rates change gradually in equal increments (“rate ramp”) over the twelve month period.
  Changes in Interest Rates
Rate Ramp +200 bp -200 bp
Asset/Liability Policy limit (5.0) % (5.0) %
March 31, 2024 (2.6) % 2.1  %
December 31, 2023 (2.8) % 2.2  %
49



The Company’s review of interest rate risk includes policy limits for net interest income changes in various “rate shock” scenarios. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately. The information provided for net interest income assumes fluctuations or “rate shocks” for changes in interest rates as shown in the table below.
  Changes in Interest Rates
Rate Shock +400 bp +300 bp +200 bp +100 bp -100 bp -200 bp -300 bp -400 bp
Asset/Liability Policy limit (25.0) % (20.0) % (15.0) % (10.0) % (10.0) % (15.0) % (20.0) % (25.0) %
March 31, 2024 (9.8) % (7.8) % (5.7) % (2.7) % 2.0  % 3.7  % 5.0  % 6.7  %
December 31, 2023 (10.5) % (8.3) % (6.1) % (2.9) % 2.0  % 3.8  % 5.1  % 6.4  %
The base case for the following table is an estimate of the Company’s net portfolio value for the periods presented using current discount rates, and assuming the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net portfolio value at March 31, 2024 (the base case) was $1.42 billion. The information provided for the net portfolio value assumes fluctuations or “rate shocks” for changes in interest rates as shown in the table below. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately.
  Changes in Interest Rates
Rate Shock +400 bp +300 bp +200 bp +100 bp -100 bp -200 bp -300 bp -400 bp
Asset/Liability Policy limit (35.0) % (25.0) % (20.0) % (10.0) % (10.0) % (20.0) % (25.0) % (35.0) %
March 31, 2024 (20.5) % (16.0) % (11.4) % (5.3) % 4.1  % 6.9  % 7.9  % 6.0  %
December 31, 2023 (22.7) % (17.5) % (12.2) % (5.8) % 4.4  % 7.6  % 9.7  % 5.0  %
The information set forth in the above tables and the net interest income estimate set forth above are based on significant estimates and assumptions, and constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For more information regarding the Company’s market risk and assumptions used in the Company’s simulation models, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in net interest income requires the making of certain assumptions regarding prepayment and deposit decay rates, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. While management believes such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates and decay rates will approximate actual future loan prepayment and deposit withdrawal activity. Moreover, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
(a)Disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and are operating in an effective manner and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

All previously disclosed actions related to the merger with Provident filed against the Company and its directors were dismissed without payment or any settlement.
