Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
 
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither statements of historical or current fact nor are they assurances of future performance and generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “projects”, “plans”, “goal”, “targets”, “potential”, “estimates”, “pro forma”, “seeks”, “intends”, or “anticipates”, or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include discussions of strategy, financial projections, guidance and estimates (including their underlying assumptions), statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of various transactions or events, and statements about our future performance, operations, products and services, and should be viewed with caution.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond our control, and that are difficult to predict as to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, and that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied or anticipated by the statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following:

•negative economic and political conditions that adversely affect the general economy, the banking sector, housing prices, the real estate market, the job market, consumer confidence, the financial condition of our borrowers and consumer spending habits, which may affect, among other things, the levels of NPAs, charge-offs and provision expense;
•changes in loan underwriting, credit review or loss policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions or regulatory developments;
•the potential effects of pandemics or public health conditions on the economic and business environments in which we operate, including the impact of actions taken by governmental authorities to address these situations;
•strategic, market, operational, liquidity and interest rate risks associated with our business;
•potential fluctuations or unanticipated changes in the interest rate environment, including interest rate changes made by the Federal Reserve, replacement or reform of other interest rate benchmarks, as well as cash flow reassessments may reduce net interest margin and/or the volumes and values of loans made or held as well as the value of other financial assets;
•any unanticipated or greater than anticipated adverse conditions in the national or local economies in which we operate;
•our loan concentration in industries or sectors that may experience unanticipated or greater than anticipated adverse conditions than other industries or sectors in the national or local economies in which we operate;
•the risks of expansion into new geographic or product markets;
•risks with respect to our ability to identify and complete future mergers or acquisitions as well as our ability to successfully expand and integrate those businesses and operations that we acquire;
•our ability to attract and retain key employees;
•competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers including non-bank financial technology providers and our ability to attract customers from other financial institutions;
•losses due to fraudulent and negligent conduct of our customers, third-party service providers or employees;
•cybersecurity risks and the vulnerability of our network and online banking portals, and the systems or parties with whom we contract, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss and other security breaches that could adversely affect our business and financial performance or reputation;
•our reliance on third parties to provide key components of our business infrastructure and services required to operate our business;
•the risk that we may be required to make substantial expenditures to keep pace with regulatory initiatives and the rapid technological changes in the financial services market;
•the availability of and access to capital, particularly if there were to be increased capital requirements or enhanced regulatory supervision;
•legislative, regulatory or accounting changes that may adversely affect us;
•volatility in the ACL resulting from the CECL methodology, either alone or as that may be affected by conditions affecting our business;
•adverse results (including judgments, costs, fines, reputational harm, inability to obtain necessary approvals and/or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, regulatory proceedings, examinations, investigations, or similar matters, or developments related thereto;
•any matter that would cause us to conclude that there was impairment of any asset, including intangible assets, such as goodwill;
•limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends and other distributions from the Bank to the Holding Company, which could affect Holding Company liquidity, including its ability to pay dividends to shareholders or take other capital actions;
•the potential effects of events beyond our control that may have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and the economy, such as inflation or recession, terrorist activities, wars and other foreign conflicts, climate change, disruptions in our customers’ supply chains, disruptions in transportation, essential utility outages or trade disputes and related tariffs; and
•other risks and uncertainties disclosed in documents filed or furnished by us with or to the SEC, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, implied or otherwise anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

We caution readers that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, is not necessarily in order of importance and readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements also may be found in our 2023 10-K (including the “Risk Factor” section of that report), Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. We do not intend to and, except as required by law, hereby disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this Report, which speaks only as of the date of its filing with the SEC, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The financial statements and information contained herein have not been reviewed, or confirmed for accuracy or relevance, by the FDIC or any other regulator.

UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation 
United’s accounting and financial reporting policies conform to GAAP and reporting guidelines of banking regulatory authorities. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. A more detailed description of United’s accounting policies is included in its 2023 10-K.
 
In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying financial statements have been made. These adjustments are normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim periods. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in United’s 2023 10-K.

Note 2 – Accounting Standards Updates and Recently Adopted Standards

Recently Adopted Standards
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The update broadens the application of PAM and related disclosures to tax equity investments other than LIHTC, providing certain conditions are met. The election to apply PAM must be made on a tax-credit-program by tax-credit-program basis rather than at the reporting entity level or to individual investments. United adopted this update using a modified retrospective transition method as of January 1, 2024, with no impact to shareholders’ equity; thus, no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was recorded.

Note 3 – Supplemental Cash Flow Information

The supplemental schedule of significant non-cash investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows.
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) 2024 2023
Significant non-cash investing and financing transactions:
Commitments to fund equity investments $ 10,693  $ 20,000 
Acquisitions:
  Assets acquired —  1,903,930 
  Liabilities assumed —  1,597,022 
  Net assets acquired —  306,908 
  Common stock issued and options converted —  306,461 

Note 4 – Acquisitions

Acquisition of First Miami

On July 1, 2023, United acquired all of the outstanding common stock of First Miami in a stock transaction. Information related to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired is included in United’s 2023 10-K. During the first quarter of 2024, within the one-year measurement period related to the acquisition of First Miami, United received additional information regarding the lack of realizability of certain tax credits. As a result, the provisional fair value assigned to acquired other assets was adjusted to $18.8 million, other liabilities was adjusted to $16.9 million and goodwill was adjusted to $24.5 million, which represents a decrease of $2.06 million, a decrease of $726,000 and an increase of $1.34 million, respectively.

Pro forma information - Progress
 
The following table discloses certain pro forma information as if Progress had been acquired on January 1, 2022. These results combine the historical results of the acquired entity with United’s consolidated statement of income. Adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity; however pro forma financial results presented are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place in earlier years.

At March 31, 2024, there were 639 AFS debt securities and 315 HTM debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position. United does not intend to sell nor does it believe it will be required to sell securities in an unrealized loss position prior to the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses at March 31, 2024 were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, estimated credit losses and, thus, the related ACL on HTM debt securities were de minimis due to the high credit quality of the portfolio, which included securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies, GSEs, high credit quality municipalities and supranational entities. As a result, no ACL was recorded on the HTM portfolio at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. In addition, based on the assessments performed at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no ACL required related to the AFS portfolio.

The following table presents accrued interest receivable on HTM and AFS debt securities, which was excluded from the estimate of credit losses, for the periods indicated.

Risk Ratings 
United categorizes commercial loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, public information, and current industry and economic trends, among other factors. United analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continual basis. United uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:

Pass. Loans in this category are considered to have a low probability of default and do not meet the criteria of the risk categories below.

Special Mention. Loans in this category are presently protected from apparent loss; however, weaknesses exist that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status and questionable management capabilities. These loans require more than the ordinary amount of supervision. Collateral values generally afford adequate coverage, but may not be immediately marketable.

Substandard. These loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged. Specific and well-defined weaknesses exist that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial ratios. The loan may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. There is the distinct possibility that United will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. If possible, immediate corrective action is taken.

Doubtful. Specific weaknesses characterized as Substandard that are severe enough to make collection in full highly questionable and improbable. There is no reliable secondary source of full repayment.
 
Loss. Loans categorized as Loss have the same characteristics as Doubtful; however, probability of loss is certain. Loans classified as Loss are charged off.
 
Consumer Purpose Loans. United applies a pass / fail grading system to all consumer purpose loans. Under this system, loans that are on nonaccrual status, become past due 90 days, or are in bankruptcy and 30 or more days past due are classified as “fail” and all other loans are classified as “pass”. For reporting purposes, loans in these categories that are classified as “fail” are reported as substandard and all other loans are reported as pass.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, equipment financing FDMs typically consist of one or more three-month extensions beyond the original maturity date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, commercial and industrial payment delay modifications consisted of one or more three-month periods during which principal payments were deferred but interest payments continued to be paid.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, FDMs categorized as rate reduction and extensions in the residential mortgage and manufactured housing categories resulted in a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on these FDMs of 621 bps and extended the weighted average maturity by 6.5 years.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL for loans represents management’s estimate of life of loan credit losses in the portfolio as of the end of the period. The ACL related to unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, United used a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Expected credit losses were estimated using a regression model for each segment based on historical data from peer banks combined with a third party vendor’s baseline economic forecast to predict the change in credit losses. These estimates were then combined with a starting value that was based on United’s recent charge-off experience to produce an expected default rate, with the results subject to a floor.

In the case of commercial construction, income producing CRE, owner occupied CRE, multifamily loans (included in income producing CRE) and commercial & industrial loans, at March 31, 2024, the expected default rate was adjusted by a model overlay based on expectations of future performance.

At March 31, 2024, the third party vendor’s baseline forecast was similar to the forecast at December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024 United applied qualitative adjustments to the model output for the residential mortgage portfolio to account for the ongoing performance stability of the portfolio. United also applied qualitative adjustments to the equipment finance portfolio due to an elevated default rate that resulted from a higher level of recent charge-offs that was mostly coming from the long-haul trucking equipment segment, a small portion of the portfolio deemed not representative of the entire equipment financing portfolio.

For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year, United reverted to historical credit loss information on a straight line basis over two years. For most collateral types, United reverted to through-the-cycle average default rates using peer data from 2000 to 2017. For loans secured by residential mortgages and manufactured housing, the peer data was adjusted for changes in lending practices designed to mitigate the magnitude of losses observed during the 2008 mortgage crisis.

United clears certain derivatives centrally through the CME. CME rules legally characterize variation margin payments for centrally cleared derivatives as settlements of the derivatives’ exposure rather than as collateral. As a result, the variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are considered a single unit of account for accounting purposes. Variation margin, as determined by the CME, is settled daily. As a result, derivative contracts that clear through the CME have an estimated fair value of zero.

Hedging Derivatives

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk 
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, United utilized interest rate caps and swaps to hedge the variability of cash flows due to changes in interest rates on certain of its variable-rate subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. Gains and losses related to changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings in the periods the hedged forecasted transactions occur. Losses representing amortization of the premium recorded on cash flow hedges, which is a component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis in the same caption as the hedged item over the term of the hedge. Over the next twelve months, United expects to reclassify $5.32 million of gains from AOCI into earnings related to these agreements.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk 
United uses interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to changes in fair value attributable to changes in interest rates on certain of its fixed-rate financial instruments. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. United includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same income statement line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related derivatives. During the first quarter of 2024, United entered into additional fair value hedges on stated amounts of closed portfolios of loans using the portfolio layer method.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments 
Customer derivative positions include swaps, caps, and collars between United and certain commercial loan customers with offsetting positions to dealers under a back-to-back program. In addition, United occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept or transfer a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps.

United also has three interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments but are economic hedges of market-linked brokered certificates of deposit. The market-linked brokered certificates of deposit contain embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host instruments and are marked to market through earnings. The fair value marks on the market-linked swaps and the bifurcated embedded derivatives tend to move in opposite directions and therefore provide an economic hedge.
  
In addition, United originates certain residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time United enters into an interest-rate lock commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan that is to be held for sale and the time the loan is funded and eventually sold, United is subject to the risk of variability in market prices. United enters into forward sale agreements to mitigate risk and to protect the expected gain on the eventual loan sale. The commitments to originate residential mortgage loans and forward loan sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. Fair value adjustments on these derivative instruments are recorded within mortgage loan gains and other related fee income in the consolidated statements of income.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features 
United manages its credit exposure on derivatives transactions by entering into a bilateral credit support agreement with each non-customer counterparty. The credit support agreements require collateralization of exposures beyond specified minimum threshold amounts. The details of these agreements, including the minimum thresholds, vary by counterparty.
 
United’s agreements with each of its derivative counterparties provide that if either party defaults on any of its indebtedness, then it could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The agreements with derivative counterparties also include provisions that if not met, could result in United being declared in default. United has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that provide that if United fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution or is subject to a prompt corrective action directive, the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and United would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that would require additional collateral if United’s credit rating were downgraded.

Note 9 – Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering those assumptions, United uses a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). United has processes in place to review the significant valuation inputs and to reassess how the instruments are classified in the valuation framework.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that United has the ability to access.
Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
In instances when the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities
AFS debt securities and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include MBS issued by GSEs, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and supranational entity securities and are valued based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets, quoted market prices that are not in an active market, or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include those traded in less liquid markets and are valued based on estimates obtained from broker-dealers that are not directly observable or models which incorporate unobservable inputs.
 
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities
Included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet are assets purchased to provide returns mirroring those promised to participants in the employee deferred compensation plan. These assets are mutual funds classified as Level 1. Deferred compensation liabilities, also classified as Level 1, are carried at the fair value of the obligation to the participant, which mirrors the fair value of the invested assets and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are unsecured general obligations of United.
 
26

UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
United has elected the fair value option for most of its newly originated mortgage loans held for sale in order to reduce certain timing differences and better match changes in fair values of the loans with changes in the value of derivative instruments used to economically hedge them. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan, and are classified as Level 2.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
United uses derivatives to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is typically determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. United also uses best effort and mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments to hedge risk in its mortgage lending business.
 
United incorporates CVAs as necessary to appropriately reflect the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, United has considered the effect of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees.
 
Management has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, the CVAs associated with these derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. Generally, management’s assessment of the significance of the CVAs has indicated that they are not a significant input to the overall valuation of the derivatives. In cases when management’s assessment indicates that the CVA is a significant input, the related derivative is disclosed as a Level 3 value. In other cases, derivatives are categorized as Level 3 when there is not an observable forward-rate curve available for the duration of the contract.

Other derivatives classified as Level 3 include structured derivatives for which broker quotes, used as a key valuation input, were not observable. Risk participation agreements are classified as Level 3 instruments due to the incorporation of significant Level 3 inputs used to evaluate the probability of funding and the likelihood of customer default. Interest rate lock commitments, which relate to mortgage loan commitments, are categorized as Level 3 instruments as the fair value of these instruments is based on unobservable inputs for commitments that United does not expect to fund.
 
Servicing Rights for Residential and SBA/USDA Loans
United recognizes servicing rights upon the sale of residential and SBA/USDA loans sold with servicing retained. Management has elected to carry these assets at fair value. Given the nature of these assets, the key valuation inputs are unobservable and management classifies these assets as Level 3.

Fair Value Option
United generally records mortgage loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option. Interest income on these loans is calculated based on the note rate of the loan and is recorded in interest revenue. The following tables present the fair value and outstanding principal balance of loans accounted for under the fair value option, as well as the gain or loss recognized from the change in fair value for the periods indicated.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
United may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower of the amortized cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy and carrying value of assets that were still held as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recorded during the year-to-date periods presented.
(in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
March 31, 2024        
Loans held for investment $ —  $ —  $ 15,579  $ 15,579 
December 31, 2023
Loans held for investment $ —  $ —  $ 36,984  $ 36,984 

Loans held for investment that are reported above as being measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are generally impaired loans that have either been partially charged off or have specific reserves assigned to them. Nonaccrual loans that are collateral dependent are generally written down to net realizable value, which reflects fair value less the estimated costs to sell. Specific reserves that are established based on appraised value of collateral are considered nonrecurring fair value adjustments as well. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, United records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value  
For financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quotes are used to determine fair value. Financial instruments that have no defined maturity, have a remaining maturity of 180 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market rate, are assumed to have a fair value that approximates reported book value, after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk. If no market quotes are available, financial instruments are valued by discounting the expected cash flows using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial instrument. For off-balance sheet derivative instruments, fair value is estimated as the amount that United would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.
 
Cash and cash equivalents and repurchase agreements have short maturities and therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Due to the short-term settlement of accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount closely approximates fair value.
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect the premium or discount on any particular financial instrument that could result from the sale of United’s entire holdings. All estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
 
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include the mortgage banking operation, brokerage network, deferred income taxes, premises and equipment and goodwill. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
 
Off-balance sheet instruments (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit) for which draws can be reasonably predicted are generally short-term in maturity and are priced at variable rates. Therefore, the estimated fair values associated with these instruments are immaterial.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation
 
United has an equity compensation plan that allows for grants of various share-based compensation. The general terms of the plan include a vesting period (usually four years) with an exercise period not to exceed ten years. Certain options and restricted stock unit awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plan document). As of March 31, 2024, the plan covered 2.13 million shares that could be issued pursuant to additional awards granted under the plan.

Compensation expense for restricted stock units and performance stock units without market conditions is based on the market value of United’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for performance stock units with market conditions is based on the grant date per share fair value, which was estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. United recognizes the impact of forfeitures as they occur. The value of restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards is amortized into expense over the service period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, expense of $2.22 million and $2.36 million, respectively, was recognized related to restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards granted to United employees, which was included in salaries and employee benefits expense. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $183,000 and $122,000, respectively, was recognized in other expense for restricted stock unit awards granted to members of United’s Board of Directors.

A deferred income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense of $614,000 and $634,000 was included in the determination of income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was $22.3 million of unrecognized expense related to non-vested restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards granted under the plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Note 13 – Regulatory Matters

As of March 31, 2024, United and the Bank were categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory requirements in effect at that time. To be categorized as well-capitalized, United and the Bank must have exceeded the well-capitalized guideline ratios in effect at the time, as set forth in the table below, and have met certain other requirements. Management believes that United and the Bank exceeded all well-capitalized requirements at March 31, 2024, and there have been no conditions or events since quarter-end that would change the status of well-capitalized.

Regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, along with the minimum amounts required for capital adequacy purposes and to be well-capitalized under regulatory requirements in effect at such times, are presented below for United and the Bank:

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
United is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement United has in particular classes of financial instruments. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. United uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it uses for underwriting on-balance sheet instruments. In most cases, collateral or other security is required to support financial instruments with credit risk.
 
The following table summarizes the contractual amount of off-balance sheet instruments as of the dates indicated.
(in thousands) March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:    
Commitments to extend credit $ 4,075,892  $ 4,305,483 
Letters of credit 66,587  61,808 

United, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or the range of any possible loss, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising from these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on United’s financial position or results of operations.

Tax Credit and Certain Equity Investments
United invests in certain LIHTC partnerships throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities, as well as in entities that promote renewable energy sources. United receives tax credits related to these investments. For certain of the investments, United provides financing during the construction and development phase of the related projects and/or permanent financing upon completion of the project. United has concluded that these partnerships are VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' financial performance and, therefore, is not required to consolidate these VIEs. United's maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in these VIEs is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding investment balance, any future funding commitments and the balance of any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as other loans and are generally secured.

United also has investments in and future funding commitments related to fintech fund limited partnerships, other community development entities and certain other equity method investments. United has concluded that these partnerships are VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' financial performance and, therefore, is not required to consolidate these VIEs. The risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount invested by United and any future funding commitments.

The following table summarizes, as of the dates indicated, tax credit and certain equity method investments:

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our financial condition at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from our consolidated financial statements and is intended to provide insight into our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion and analysis should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I - Item 1 of this Report, “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the risk factors discussed in our 2023 10-K and the other reports we have filed with the SEC after we filed the 2023 10-K.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” refer to United on a consolidated basis.
 
Overview
 
We offer a wide array of commercial and consumer banking services and investment advisory services through a 205 branch network throughout Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Alabama. We have grown organically as well as through strategic acquisitions. At March 31, 2024, we had consolidated total assets of $27.4 billion and 3,071 full-time equivalent employees.

Results of Operations
We reported net income and diluted earnings per common share of $62.6 million and $0.51, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024. This compared to net income and diluted earnings per common share of $62.3 million and $0.52, respectively, for the same period in 2023.

Net interest revenue decreased to $199 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $211 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was mostly driven by an increase in deposit interest expense that exceeded the increase in interest revenue from interest-earning assets. The combination of strong interest-bearing deposit growth, both organic and from the acquisition of First Miami, and higher rates paid on deposits contributed to an increase in deposit interest expense of $75.9 million. Interest revenue on interest-earning assets increased $57.2 million due to loan growth, including loans acquired from First Miami, and higher average interest rates earned on our loan and securities portfolios. In addition, decreased utilization of more costly wholesale borrowings also partially offset the increase in deposit interest expense. The net interest margin decreased to 3.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 3.61% for the same period in 2023 primarily due to the steeper increase in interest rates paid on deposits compared to the increase in interest rates earned on loans and securities.
 
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $12.9 million and $21.8 million for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Provision expense for the first quarter of 2023 included initial provisions for credit losses on non-PCD loans and unfunded commitments acquired from Progress of $10.4 million. We recognized higher net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2024 of $12.9 million compared to $7.08 million for the same period in 2023, which contributed to the increase in non-acquisition-related provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024.

Noninterest income of $39.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 was up $9.38 million, or 31%, from the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by a $2.99 million increase in mortgage loan gains and related fees, a lease termination gain of $2.40 million recorded in other noninterest income, and death benefits on BOLI policies recognized during the period. The increase in mortgage gains and related fees was primarily due to a $1.50 million positive fair value adjustment on our mortgage servicing asset and higher gains on sales of mortgage loans.

For the first quarter of 2024, noninterest expenses of $145 million increased by $5.20 million compared to the same period of 2023. The increase was largely driven by a $6.29 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and an increase in FDIC assessment and other regulatory charges of $3.57 million. Salaries and benefits increased due to several factors, including the addition of First Miami employees, lower deferred origination costs and higher deferred compensation plan expense. During the first quarter of 2024, we recognized an additional $2.50 million in FDIC assessment expense to increase our accrual for our estimated share of the FDIC special assessment. These increases were partially offset by a $6.54 million decrease in merger-related and other charges due to lack of acquisition activity in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 including the completion of the Progress acquisition.

Results for the first quarter of 2024 are discussed in further detail throughout the following sections of MD&A.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Our accounting and reporting estimates are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Estimates that are susceptible to significant changes include accounting for the ACL and fair value measurements, both of which require significant judgments by management. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Also, different assumptions in the application of these accounting estimates could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in MD&A in our 2023 10-K.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Explanation

This Report contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial information includes the following measures: “tangible book value per common share,” and “tangible common equity to tangible assets.” In addition, management presents non-GAAP operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other items that are not part of our ongoing business operations. Operating performance measures include “net income – operating,” “diluted income per common share – operating,” “return on common equity – operating,” “return on tangible common equity – operating,” “return on assets – operating” and “efficiency ratio – operating.” We have developed internal policies and procedures to accurately capture and account for merger-related and other charges and those charges are reviewed with the Audit Committee of our Board each quarter. We use these non-GAAP measures because we believe they provide useful supplemental information for evaluating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures may also provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results and credit trends, as well as a comparison to financial results for prior periods. Nevertheless, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare our non-GAAP measures to similarly titled measures used by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP are included in Table 1 of MD&A.

Net Interest Revenue

Net interest revenue, which is the difference between the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds, is the single largest component of total revenue. Management seeks to optimize this revenue while balancing interest rate, credit and liquidity risks.

The banking industry generally uses two ratios to measure the relative profitability of net interest revenue. The net interest spread measures the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread eliminates the effect of noninterest-bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity and gives a direct perspective on the effect of market interest rate movements. The net interest margin is an indication of the profitability of a company’s balance sheet and is defined as net interest revenue as a percent of average total interest-earning assets, which includes the positive effect of funding a portion of interest-earning assets with noninterest-bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity.

The following discussion provides additional details on the daily average balances and net interest revenue for the periods presented. The tables that follow indicate the relationship between interest revenue and expense and the daily average amounts of assets and liabilities, which provides further insight into net interest spread and net interest margin for the periods indicated.

Net interest revenue for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 was $199 million and $211 million, respectively. FTE net interest revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $200 million, representing a decrease of $12.4 million, or 6%, from the same period in 2023. The net interest spreads for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 2.16% and 2.87%, respectively. The net interest margins for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 3.20% and 3.61%, respectively.

The decrease in FTE net interest revenue was primarily driven by average interest-bearing deposits, due to a combination of growth in our deposit base and an increase in the average rate paid on those deposits. The average daily balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $3.09 billion compared to the first quarter of 2023 and the average rate paid on those deposits increased 150 basis points, resulting in a $75.9 million increase in deposit interest expense. The growth in interest-bearing deposits is partially attributable to the addition of deposits acquired in the First Miami transaction, in addition to organic growth. We have continued to attract and retain deposits by remaining competitive with our interest rate offerings, which has increased our average rate paid on deposits. The growth in our deposit base has allowed us to reduce our utilization of more costly short-term borrowings and FHLB advances, as the average balances of these combined decreased $561 million compared to the first quarter of 2023 resulting in a reduction in interest expense on these types of borrowings of $6.26 million.

The increase in loan interest revenue of $47.4 million partially offsets the increase in interest expense paid on deposits. Growth in our average loans of $1.40 billion and an increase in the yield on the loan portfolio of 56 basis points drove the increase in loan interest revenue. Approximately $594 million of the increase in average loans was provided by the addition of the First Miami loan portfolio, while the remaining represented organic growth. The yield on the loan portfolio increased to 6.24% due to rising interest rates and $1.16 million in earnings from recent fair value hedges of loans, which were entered into during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Loan interest revenue for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 included $4.65 million and $4.76 million, respectively, of discount accretion on loans received through business combinations. Additionally, despite a decrease in the average balance of securities, FTE interest revenue on securities increased $6.32 million compared to the same period of last year, driven by an increase in the average interest rate earned on securities of 41 basis points. The increase in yield is mostly attributable to rising interest rates, the bond portfolio restructuring we completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the earnings from the fair value hedges of certain AFS securities of $2.52 million, which we entered into during the second quarter of 2023.

The decrease in net interest margin and net interest spread for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 was driven by a steeper increase in average rates paid on deposits compared to the increase in rates earned on loans and securities. In addition, strong interest-bearing deposit growth contributed to the increase in interest expense, decreasing our net interest revenue and contributing to net interest margin compression.

Provision for Credit Losses

The ACL represents management’s estimate of life of loan credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. Management’s estimate of credit losses under CECL is determined using a model that relies on reasonable and supportable forecasts and historical loss information to determine the balance of the ACL and resulting provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses recorded in each period was the amount determined by management such that the total ACL reflected the appropriate balance of expected life of loan losses.

We recorded a provision for credit losses of $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $21.8 million for the same period of 2023. The provision recorded for the first quarter of 2023 included the initial provision for credit losses on Progress non-PCD loans and unfunded commitments of $10.4 million. Excluding the provision for credit losses for the initial non-PCD ACL for Progress recorded in the first quarter of 2023, provision expense for the first quarter of 2024 increased $1.56 million compared to the same period of 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in net charge-offs of $5.82 million, partially offset by slower loan growth and a decline in unfunded commitments during the quarter. See Table 11 in MD&A for further detail on net charge-offs.

Additional discussion on credit quality and the ACL is included in the “Asset Quality and Risk Elements” section of MD&A in this Report.

Mortgage loan gains and related fees consist primarily of fees earned on mortgage originations, gains on the sale of mortgages in the secondary market, mortgage derivative hedging gains and losses and fair value adjustments to our mortgage servicing asset. The change in mortgage income is strongly tied to the interest rate environment and industry conditions. We recognize the majority of fees on mortgages when customers enter into mortgage rate lock commitments, making our mortgage rate lock volume a significant driver of mortgage gains in any given period.

The increase in mortgage loan gains and related fees was primarily a result of higher gains on mortgage sales and positive fair value adjustments to our mortgage servicing asset. The increase in gains on sales was a result of our decision to sell more of our mortgage loan production compared to the same period of 2023, designating approximately 67% of mortgage production held for sale compared to 41% during the first quarter of 2023. In addition, during the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $1.50 million positive fair value adjustment to the mortgage servicing rights asset, compared to an $1.10 million negative fair value adjustment during the first quarter of 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in mortgage rate lock volume as shown in the table below.

The increase in wealth management fees is mostly attributable to the addition of First Miami’s assets under management. Our total assets under management and advisement as of March 31, 2024 totaled $5.39 billion.

Our SBA/USDA lending strategy includes selling a portion of the loan production each quarter. The amount of loans sold depends on several variables including the current lending environment, balance sheet management activities and market pricing. From time to time, we also sell certain equipment financing receivables. The following table presents loans sold and the corresponding gains recognized on the sales for the periods indicated.

•The increase in BOLI income is primarily a result of death benefits realized during the first quarter of 2024.
•Other noninterest income increased mostly due to a lease termination gain of $2.40 million as result of our exiting one of our corporate offices.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was driven by several factors, including the inclusion of First Miami employees, higher deferred compensation plan expense, an increase in bonus expense and lower deferred origination costs partly driven by lower mortgage production. In addition, merit increases, which included annual increases that went into effect for all employees on April 1, 2023 also contributed to the rise in salaries and employee benefits expense. These increases were offset by decreases in commissions and incentive pay. Full time equivalent headcount totaled 3,071 at March 31, 2024, up from 3,052 at March 31, 2023.

Communications and equipment expense increased primarily driven by incremental software contract costs and the growth in our network with the addition of recent acquisitions.

Approximately half of the increase in occupancy costs for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was attributable to the additional branches acquired in the First Miami transaction. The remaining increase was attributable to higher repairs and maintenance costs and depreciation expense.

During the first quarter of 2024, upon receipt of notification from the FDIC of an upward adjustment to the original special assessment, we recorded an additional $2.50 million in expense related to our estimate of the FDIC special assessment. The special assessment was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2023 as part of the FDIC’s efforts to recover losses resulting from the bank failures that occurred in early 2023.

Merger-related and other charges for the first quarter of 2024 primarily consisted of costs associated with our rebranding, branch closure costs, and expenses related to the First Miami acquisition. Merger-related and other charges for the first quarter of 2023 were primarily related to the acquisition of Progress.

Asset Quality and Risk Elements
 
We manage asset quality and control credit risk through review and oversight of the loan portfolio as well as adherence to policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. Our credit risk management function is responsible for monitoring asset quality and Board approved portfolio concentration limits, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures.
 
We conduct reviews of special mention and substandard performing and non-performing loans, past due loans and portfolio concentrations on a regular basis to identify risk migration and potential charges to the ACL. These items are discussed in a series of meetings attended by credit risk management leadership and leadership from various lending groups. In addition to the reviews mentioned above, an independent loan review team reviews the portfolio to ensure consistent application of risk rating policies and procedures.

The ACL reflects our assessment of the life of loan expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. This assessment involves uncertainty and judgment and is subject to change in future periods. The amount of any changes could be significant if our assessment of loan quality or collateral values changes substantially with respect to one or more loan relationships or portfolios. The allocation of the ACL is based on reasonable and supportable forecasts, historical data, subjective judgment and estimates and therefore, is not necessarily indicative of the specific amounts or loan categories in which charge-offs may ultimately occur. See the Critical Accounting Estimates section of MD&A in our 2023 10-K for additional information on the ACL.

The total ACL for loans at March 31, 2024 was relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2023 mostly driven by slower loan growth in the first quarter of 2024. Within the loan portfolio, however, there were increases in the ACL for equipment financing and manufactured housing loans, partially offset by a decrease in the ACL for owner occupied CRE loans. The increase in the ACL for manufactured housing resulted from an increase in the loss-given-default model assumption for this portfolio driven by recent history, while the increase in the ACL for equipment finance loan was driven mostly by loan growth. The decrease in the ACL for owner occupied CRE loans is attributable to a CECL model overlay applied to this portfolio to adjust the expected default rate based on expectations of future performance. Our ACL for unfunded commitments decreased mostly due to a decrease in our construction commitments.

The increase in net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily driven by increases in charge-offs in the equipment finance, commercial and industrial and manufactured housing portfolios. During the first quarter of 2024, we continued to have elevated equipment finance charge-offs related to loans to borrowers in the long-haul trucking industry. The long-haul trucking equipment segment comprising a small portion of the portfolio is deemed not representative of the entire equipment financing portfolio. The increase in net commercial and industrial loans was primarily driven by a small population of larger charge-offs. Manufactured housing loans are higher risk and higher yielding loans, that are more sensitive to economic conditions such as inflation and rising interest rates, which contributed to the increase in charge-offs compared to the same period last year.
48


Nonperforming Assets

The table below summarizes NPAs for the periods indicated. NPAs include nonaccrual loans, OREO and repossessed assets. The increase in nonaccrual loans since December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by loans that moved to nonaccrual status during the quarter mostly in the commercial and industrial, equipment financing and manufactured housing loan portfolios. These additions contributed $8.17 million, $7.16 million and $6.82 million of the increase, respectively. These additions were partially offset by reductions in nonaccrual loans resulting from repayments, payoffs, and charge-offs as well as loans returning to accrual status.

Nonaccrual loans 104,969  91,687

Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans 0.57  % 0.50  %
NPAs as a percentage of total assets 0.39  0.34 

A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full principal and interest on a loan is not likely to be collected, or when the loan becomes 90 days past due. A loan may continue on accrual after 90 days with senior management approval if it is well collateralized and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current interest revenue. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to reduce the loan’s amortized cost. Loans are generally returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance and future payments are reasonably assured.
 
Generally, we do not commit to lend additional funds to customers whose loans are on nonaccrual status, although in certain isolated cases, we execute forbearance agreements whereby we agree to continue to fund construction loans to completion or other lines of credit as long as the borrower meets the conditions of the forbearance agreement. We may also fund other amounts necessary to protect collateral such as amounts to pay past due property taxes and insurance coverage.

Investment Securities

The composition of the investment securities portfolio reflects our investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The investment securities portfolio also provides a balance to interest rate risk and credit risk in other categories of the balance sheet while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds, furnishing liquidity, and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral for certain deposits and borrowings. The table below summarizes the carrying value of our securities portfolio and other relevant portfolio metrics including weighted-average life and effective duration as of the dates presented. Effective duration represents the expected change in the price of a security when rates change by 100 basis points.

In 2023, we entered into fair value hedges on a portion of our AFS securities portfolio in order to mitigate the impact of any potential future unrealized losses on our tangible common equity. Gains and losses related to the hedge and hedged item are reflected in investment securities interest income. The changes in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item substantially offset each other. See Note 7 to the financial statements for further detail.

Table 14 - Investment Securities Portfolio Composition
As of March 31, 2024
(in thousands)
671
At March 31, 2024, HTM debt securities had a fair value of $2.04 billion, indicating net unrealized losses of $422 million. Additional unrealized losses on HTM debt securities of $66.1 million (pre-tax) were included in AOCI as a result of the transfer of AFS debt securities to HTM in 2022. Unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates.
In accordance with CECL, our HTM debt securities portfolio is evaluated quarterly to assess whether an ACL is required. We measure expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, we include a zero loss assumption. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, calculated credit losses on HTM debt securities were deemed de minimis due to the high credit quality of the portfolio, which included securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies, GSEs, high credit quality municipalities and supranational entities. As a result, no ACL for HTM debt securities was recorded.
For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, if we intend to sell, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. Absent circumstances when an AFS security would be sold, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. The evaluation considers factors such as the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, changes to the security’s rating, and adverse conditions specific to the security. If the evaluation indicates a credit loss exists, an ACL may be recorded, with such allowance limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. Any impairment unrelated to credit factors is recognized in OCI. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no ACL related to the AFS debt securities portfolio. Unrealized losses at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 primarily reflected the effect of changes in interest rates.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the premium paid for acquired companies above the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identifiable intangible assets. Management evaluates goodwill annually, or more frequently if necessary, to determine if any impairment exists. During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a measurement period adjustment to the acquisition date fair values of other assets and other liabilities recorded for First Miami. The adjustment related to the lack of realizability of certain tax credits, which resulted in a net increase in goodwill of $1.34 million. See Note 4 to the financial statements for further detail. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the net carrying amount of goodwill was $921 million and $920 million, respectively.

51


We also have core deposit and customer relationship intangible assets, representing the value of acquired deposit and customer relationships, respectively, which are amortizing intangible assets. Amortizing intangible assets are required to be tested for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.

Deposits

Customer deposits are the primary source of funds for the continued growth of our earning assets. We believe our high level of service, as evidenced by our strong customer satisfaction scores, has been instrumental in attracting and retaining customer deposit accounts. Since December 31, 2023, money market deposit balances increased with offsetting decreases in other customer deposit types. This was driven by higher demand for money market accounts, which are more liquid than time deposits and offer a higher interest rate than demand and savings accounts. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $9.00 billion of uninsured deposits, of which $2.88 billion was collateralized by investment securities.

Borrowing Activities

At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had long-term debt outstanding of $325 million, which includes senior debentures, subordinated debentures, and trust preferred securities. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were no short-term borrowings or FHLB advances outstanding. The need to utilize wholesale funding sources has decreased as our deposit and cash balances have substantially provided for our liquidity needs.

Contractual Obligations
 
There have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2023.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees.
 
A commitment to extend credit is an agreement 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. Letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as extending loan facilities to customers. Those commitments are primarily issued to local businesses.
 
The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. We use the same credit underwriting procedures for making commitments, letters of credit and financial guarantees, as we use for underwriting on-balance sheet instruments. Management evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and the amount of the collateral, if deemed necessary, is based on the credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include unimproved and improved real estate, certificates of deposit, personal property or other acceptable collateral.
 
All of these instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The total amount of these instruments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements because a significant portion of these instruments expire without being used. We are not involved in off-balance sheet contractual relationships, other than those disclosed in this Report, that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments, or that could significantly affect earnings.

See Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 10-K and Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in this Report for additional information on off-balance sheet arrangements.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

The absolute level and volatility of interest rates can have a significant effect on profitability. The objective of interest rate risk management is to identify and manage the sensitivity of net interest revenue to changing interest rates, consistent with our overall financial goals. Based on economic conditions, asset quality and various other considerations, management establishes tolerance ranges for interest rate sensitivity and manages within these ranges. 

Net interest revenue and the fair value of financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. We limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by our ALCO and approved by the Board. The ALCO meets periodically and has responsibility for formulating and recommending asset/liability management policies to the Board, formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings, and reviewing interest rate sensitivity. 

One of the tools management uses to estimate and manage the sensitivity of net interest revenue to changes in interest rates is an asset/liability simulation model. Resulting estimates are based upon multiple assumptions for each scenario, including loan and deposit re-pricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments. The ALCO periodically reviews the assumptions for reasonableness based on historical data and future expectations; however, actual net interest revenue may differ from model results. The primary objective of the simulation model is to measure the potential change in net interest revenue over time using multiple interest rate scenarios. The base scenario assumes rates remain flat and is the scenario to which all others are compared, in order to measure the change in net interest revenue. Policy limits are based on immediate rate shock scenarios, as well as gradually rising and falling rate scenarios, which are all compared to the base scenario. Our assumptions include floors such that market rates and discount rates do not go below zero. Other scenarios analyzed may include delayed rate shocks, yield curve steepening or flattening, or other variations in rate movements. While the primary policy scenarios focus on a 12-month time frame, longer time horizons are also modeled. 

Our policy is based on the 12-month impact on net interest revenue of interest rate shocks and ramps that increase from 100 to 400 basis points or decrease 100 to 200 basis points from the base scenario. In the shock scenarios, rates immediately change the full amount at the scenario onset. In the ramp scenarios, rates change by 25 basis points per month. Our policy limits the projected change in net interest revenue over the first 12 months to an 8% decrease for each 100 basis point change in the increasing and decreasing rate ramp and shock scenarios. The following table presents our interest sensitivity position at the dates indicated.

Table 16 - Interest Sensitivity
(in thousands)
  Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Revenue from Base Scenario at
  March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Change in Rates Shock Ramp Shock Ramp
200 basis point increase 2.73  % 1.32  % (0.88) % (1.70) %
100 basis point increase 1.42  0.79  (0.38) (0.88)
100 basis point decrease (2.35) (1.48) (0.60) 0.14 
200 basis point decrease (6.32) (2.56) (2.89) 0.10 
The recent environment has been marked by the most rapid rate increases in decades, which, in part, has made non-bank products, such as U.S. Treasuries and money market funds, more attractive to our deposit customers. For this and other reasons such as the Federal Reserve’s quantitative tightening and the aftermath of COVID stimulus, the banking industry’s deposit base has been shrinking since the first half of 2022. This industry-wide outflow of deposits has increased price competition for bank deposits. As such, industry deposit betas, including ours, have been increasing at a faster pace relative to the last rising rate cycle. Deposit beta is a measure of the change in a bank’s average rate paid on deposits to the change in the federal funds rate. Our cumulative total deposit beta for the current rising rate cycle increased to 43% in the first quarter of 2024. Our cumulative total deposit beta in the last upward rate cycle from November 2015 to July 2019 was 22%.
Our interest sensitivity model includes significant key assumptions which may change over time. The scenario results presented in the table above assume parallel movements in the yield curve, which may differ from actual future curve behavior. Although our model generally assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or composition, we have included an assumption for the runoff of surge deposits since 2021. In the second quarter of 2023, in response to the rapid rate increases mentioned above, we increased the beta assumption in our model.
53


As of March 31, 2024, the modeled total deposit beta, which is measured as the change in our overall deposit rate as a percentage of the change in the targeted Federal Funds rate, was 44% in an up scenario and 39% in a down scenario. A higher total deposit beta is generally unfavorable in a rising rate environment and favorable if rates are falling.

Liquidity Management 
Liquidity is defined as the ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of customers, both depositors and borrowers. The primary objective is to ensure that sufficient funding is available, at a reasonable cost, to meet ongoing operational cash needs and to take advantage of revenue producing opportunities as they arise. While the desired level of liquidity will vary depending upon a variety of factors, our primary goal is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity in all expected economic environments. To assist in determining the adequacy of our liquidity, we perform a variety of liquidity stress tests. We maintain an unencumbered liquid asset reserve to help ensure our ability to meet our obligations under normal conditions for at least a 12-month period and under severely adverse liquidity conditions for a minimum of 30 days.
An important part of the Bank’s liquidity resides in the asset portion of the balance sheet, which provides liquidity primarily through loan interest and principal repayments and the maturities and sales of securities, as well as the ability to use these assets as collateral for borrowings on a secured basis.
The Bank’s main source of liquidity is customer interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Liquidity is also available from wholesale funding sources consisting primarily of repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and brokered deposits. These sources of liquidity are generally short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet other short-term liquidity needs. As part of our liquidity management, we focus on maximizing the amount of securities and loans available as collateral for contingent liquidity sources and calibrating our assumptions in our liquidity stress test on an ongoing basis, particularly as it relates to deposit duration. At March 31, 2024, we had sufficient qualifying collateral to support additional borrowings, which is detailed in the table below.

In addition, because the Holding Company is a separate entity and apart from the Bank, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Holding Company is responsible for the payment of dividends declared for its common and preferred shareholders, and interest and principal on any outstanding debt or trust preferred securities. The Holding Company currently has internal capital resources to meet these obligations. While the Holding Company has access to the capital markets, the ultimate sources of its liquidity are subsidiary service fees and dividends from the Bank, which are limited by applicable law and regulations. A South Carolina state-chartered bank is permitted to pay a dividend of up to 100% of its current year earnings without requesting approval of the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions, provided certain conditions are met. Holding Company liquidity is managed to a minimum of 15-months of anticipated cash expenditures after considering all of its liquidity needs over this period.
Significant uses and sources of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2024 are as follows. See the consolidated statement of cash flows for further detail.
•Net cash provided by operating activities of $88.8 million reflects net income of $62.6 million adjusted for non-cash transactions, partly offset by changes in loans held for sale and other assets. Significant non-cash transactions for the period included a $12.9 million provision for credit losses and net depreciation, amortization, and accretion of $10.9 million.
•Net cash used in investing activities of $123 million primarily consisted of a net increase in loans of $67.6 million and purchases of AFS securities and outflows for equity investments totaling $307 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from securities sales, maturities and calls of $258 million.
•Net cash used in financing activities of $8.24 million was driven by a net increase in deposits of $21.0 million, more than offset by dividends on common and preferred stock of $29.3 million.
In the opinion of management, our liquidity position at March 31, 2024 was sufficient to meet our expected cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future.

Capital Resources and Dividends
 
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2024 was $3.30 billion, an increase of $38.6 million from December 31, 2023 primarily due to year-to-date earnings, partially offset by dividends declared on common and preferred stock.

The following table shows capital ratios, as calculated under applicable regulatory guidelines, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized” under regulatory requirements in effect at the time. Additional information related to capital ratios is provided in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
A bank’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature with relatively little investment in fixed assets or inventories. Inflation has an important effect on the growth of total assets and the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio.
 
Management believes the effect of inflation on financial results depends on our ability to react to changes in interest rates, and by such reaction, reduce the inflationary effect on performance. We have an asset/liability management program to manage interest rate sensitivity. In addition, periodic reviews of banking services and products are conducted to adjust pricing in view of current and expected costs.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
There have been no material changes in our market risk as of March 31, 2024 from that presented in our 2023 10-K. Our interest rate sensitivity position at March 31, 2024 is set forth in Table 16 in MD&A of this Report and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

    (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

    (b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
