NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 
Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company
Headquartered in Hampton, Virginia, Old Point Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: OPOF) (the Company) is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its operations through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus (the Bank) and Old Point Trust & Financial Services, N.A. (Wealth). The Bank serves individual and commercial customers, the majority of which are in Hampton Roads, Virginia. As of September 30, 2023, the Bank had 14 branch offices. The Bank offers a full range of deposit and loan products to its retail and commercial customers, including mortgage loan products offered through Old Point Mortgage. A full array of insurance products is also offered through Old Point Insurance, LLC in partnership with Morgan Marrow Company. Wealth offers a full range of services for individuals and businesses. Products and services include retirement planning, estate planning, financial planning, estate and trust administration, retirement plan administration, tax services and investment management services.

Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and Wealth. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation, none of which were material in nature.

Estimates
In preparing Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the ACL.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL model, which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to unfunded credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 modified the impairment for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. It also modified the measurement principles for modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, including how the ACL is measured for such loans.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023, are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. As a result of adopting ASC 326, the Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $1.0 million.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities. The adoption did not affect the carrying value of debt securities or the amount of unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company did not have any securities included in its portfolio where other-than-temporary impairment had previously been recognized or that required an ACL.

The following accounting policies have been updated in connection with the adoption of ASC 326 and apply to periods beginning after December 31, 2022.



Loans Held for Investment

The Company makes commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans to customers. The Company’s recorded investment in loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally is reported at the unpaid principal balances adjusted for charges-offs, unearned discounts, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and the ACL. Interest on loans is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan fees and origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the related loans.



The past due status of a loan is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. Commercial loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, or earlier, if the full and timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Consumer loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are 120 days past due. Any accrued interest receivable on loans placed on nonaccrual status is reversed by an adjustment to interest income. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if determined to have adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans that are carried on nonaccrual status, payments are first applied to principal outstanding. A loan may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan and there is reasonable assurance the borrower will continue to make payments as agreed. These policies are applied consistently across the loan portfolio.



In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when they are funded.


Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The provision for credit losses on loans charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance to an estimated balance that management considers adequate to absorb expected credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The ACLL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of any purchase premiums and discounts and net of any deferred loan fees and costs.



The ACLL represents management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining life of the loan portfolio. Loans are charged off against the ACLL when management believes the loan balance is no longer collectible. Subsequent recoveries of previously charged off amounts are recorded as increases to the ACLL.



Management’s determination of the adequacy of the ACLL is based on an evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other risk factors. The ACLL is estimated by pooling loans by call code and similar risk characteristics and applying a loan-level discounted cash flows method for all loans except for its automobile, farmland, and consumer portfolios. For automobile, farmland, and consumer portfolios, the Company has elected to pool those loans based on similar risk characteristics to determine the ACLL using the remaining life method. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company utilizes a forecast period of one year and then reverts to the mean of historical loss rates on a straight-line basis over the following one-year period. The Company considers economic forecasts and recession probabilities from highly recognized third-parties to inform the model for loss estimation. For instance, the Company considers the National unemployment rate as an external economic variable in developing the ACLL. The quantitative ACLL estimate is sensitive to changes in the unemployment rate forecast over a one-year reasonable and supportable period, with the commercial loan portfolio being the most sensitive to fluctuations in unemployment. Because current economic conditions and forecasts can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated credit losses on loans and therefore the appropriateness of the ACLL, could change significantly. It is difficult to estimate how potential changes in any one economic factor or input might affect the overall ACLL because changes in those factors and inputs may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across all loan types. Additionally, changes in factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others. Management also considers qualitative factors when estimating loan losses to take into account model limitations. While management uses available information to estimate expected losses on loans, future changes in the ACLL may be necessary based on changes in portfolio composition, portfolio credit quality, and/or economic conditions.


7
Index

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The individual reserve component relates to loans that have shown substantial credit deterioration as measured by risk rating and/or delinquency status. In addition, the Company has elected the practical expedient that would include loans for individual assessment consideration if the repayment of the loan is expected substantially through the operation or sale of collateral because the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Where the source of repayment is the sale of collateral, the ACLL is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less selling costs, compared to the amortized cost basis of the loan. If the ACLL is based on the operation of the collateral, the reserve is calculated based on the fair value of the collateral calculated as the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral, compared to the amortized cost basis. If the Company determines that the value of a collateral dependent loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company charges off the deficiency if it is determined that such amount is deemed to be a confirmed loss. Typically, a loss is confirmed when the Company is moving towards foreclosure (or final disposition).



Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded and is included in “Other Liabilities” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.



Accrued Interest Receivable

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis in its determination of the ACLL, as well as elected the policy to write-off accrued interest receivable directly through the reversal of interest income. Accrued interest receivable totaled $3.2 million on loans held for investment as of September 30, 2023 and is included in “Other Assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.



Allowance for Credit Losses – Available-For-Sale Securities

Investments in debt securities are classified as either held to maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, based on management’s intent. Currently, all the Company’s debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities are carried at estimated fair value with the corresponding unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses are recognized in net income on the trade date using the amortized cost of the specific security sold. Purchase premiums are recognized in interest income using the effective interest rate method over the period from purchase to maturity or, for callable securities, the earliest call date, and purchase discounts are recognized in the same manner from purchase to maturity.



For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell if met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically 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 expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).



Changes in the ACL are recorded as a credit loss expense or reversal. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding interest or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.



Other accounting standards that have been adopted by the Company or issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies have not or are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2. Securities


On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, which made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities whereby credit losses should be presented as an allowance, rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell prior to maturity. For further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies and policy elections related to the accounting standard update refer to “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

All securities information presented as of September 30, 2023, is in accordance with ASC 326. All securities information presented as of December 31, 2022, or a prior date is in accordance with previous applicable GAAP. See information regarding the Company’s prior accounting policies in “Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

The number of investments in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were 156 and 162, respectively. The Company concluded no ACL should be recognized as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based primarily on the fact that changes in fair value were caused primarily by increases in interest rates, securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, the Company intends to hold these investments to maturity, it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.


Restricted Stock

The restricted stock category is comprised of stock in FHLB, FRB, and CBB. These stocks are classified as restricted securities because their ownership is restricted to certain types of entities and the securities lack a market. Therefore, FHLB, FRB, and CBB stock are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment. When evaluating these stocks for impairment, their value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Restricted stock is viewed as a long-term investment and management believes that the Company has the ability and the intent to hold this stock until its value is recovered.

Note 3. Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
 
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables. For further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies and policy elections related to the accounting standard update refer to “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” All loan information presented as of September 30, 2023, is in accordance with ASC 326. All loan information presented as of December 31, 2022, or a prior date is in accordance with previous applicable GAAP.

Net deferred loan fees totaled $1.3 million on September 30, 2023 and $1.0 million on December 31, 2022.

All classes of loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Interest and fees continue to accrue on past due loans until the date the loan is placed in nonaccrual status, if applicable. The following table includes an aging analysis of the recorded investment in past due loans as of the dates indicated. Also included in the table below are loans that are 90 days or more past due as to interest and principal and still accruing interest, because they are well-secured and in the process of collection. The following table shows the aging of the Company’s loan portfolio, by class, as of September 30, 2023.

The Company’s loan portfolio may include certain loans modified, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reduction in the interest rate below current market rates for borrowers with similar risk profiles, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. The Company closely monitors the performance of modified loans to understand the effectiveness of modification efforts. Upon the determination that all or a portion of a modified loan is uncollectible, that amount is charged against the ACL. The Company did not grant any such modifications during the third quarter of 2023.


Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans


ACLL is a material estimate for the Company. The Company estimates its ACLL on a quarterly basis. The Company models the ACLL using two primary segments, commercial and consumer. Within each segment, loan classes are further identified based on similar risk characteristics. The Company has identified the following classes within each segment:


 •
Commercial: commercial and industrial, real estate - construction and land development, real estate – commercial (owner occupied and non-owner occupied), and other loans

•
Consumer: real estate – mortgage, and consumer loans

Each portfolio class has risk characteristics as follows:


 •
Commercial and industrial: Commercial and industrial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or project, in addition to other risks associated with the ownership of a business. The repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision.

•
Real estate - construction and land development: Construction loans carry risks that the project will not be finished according to schedule, the project will not be finished according to budget and the value of the collateral may at any point in time be less than the principal amount of the loan. Construction loans also bear the risk that the general contractor, who may or may not be the loan customer, may be unable to finish the construction project as planned because of financial pressure unrelated to the project.

•
Real estate - commercial: Commercial real estate loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business if owner occupied. If non-owner occupied, the repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flow from rent receipts.

•
Real estate - mortgage: Residential mortgage loans and equity lines of credit carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

•
Consumer loans: Consumer loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrowers and the value of the collateral. Consumer loans are more likely than real estate loans to be immediately adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

•
Other loans: Other loans are loans to mortgage companies, loans for purchasing or carrying securities, and loans to insurance, investment and finance companies. These loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time, depend on interest rates or fluctuate in active trading markets.

Credit Quality Indicators
Credit quality indicators are utilized to help estimate the collectability of each loan. Consumer loans not secured by real estate and made to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures are segmented into pools based on days past due, while all other loans, including loans to consumers that are secured by real estate, are segmented by risk grades. While other credit quality indicators are evaluated and analyzed as part of the Company’s credit risk management activities, the Company uses internally-assigned risk grades as the primary indicator to estimate the capability of borrowers to repay the contractual obligations of their loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal risk grade system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans. Credit risk grades are updated at least quarterly as additional information becomes available, at which time management analyzes the resulting scores to track loan performance.
 
The Company’s internally assigned risk grades are as follows:
 

 •
Pass: Loans are of acceptable risk.

•
Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM): Loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.

•
Substandard: Loans reflect significant deficiencies due to several adverse trends of a financial, economic or managerial nature.

•
Doubtful: Loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan with added characteristics that make collection or liquidation in full based on currently existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable or improbable.

•
Loss: Loans have been identified for charge-off because they are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

Note 4. Leases

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease.  Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

The right-of-use asset and lease liability are included in “Other Assets” and “Other Liabilities”, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no new leases executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The following tables present information about the Company’s leases:

Note 5. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits

The Company was invested in four separate housing equity funds at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The general purpose of these funds is to encourage and assist participants in investing in low-income residential rental properties located in the Commonwealth of Virginia; develop and implement strategies to maintain projects as low-income housing; deliver Federal Low Income Housing Credits to investors; allocate tax losses and other possible tax benefits to investors; and preserve and protect project assets.

The investments in these funds were recorded as “Other Assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $1.2 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The expected terms of these investments and the related tax benefits run through 2033. There were no additional capital calls expected for the funds at September 30, 2023.

Note 6. Borrowings

Short-Term Borrowings
The Company classifies all borrowings that will mature within a year from the date on which the Company enters into them as short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings sources consist of federal funds purchased, overnight repurchase agreements (which are secured transactions with customers that generally mature within one to four days), and advances from the FHLB.

The Company maintains federal funds lines with several correspondent banks to address short-term borrowing needs. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining credit available from these lines totaled $100.0 million and $103.6 million, respectively. The Company has a collateral dependent line of credit with the FHLB with remaining credit availability of $360.9 million and $346.5 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Long-Term Borrowings
The Company had a long-term FHLB advance totaling $20.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2023 with a scheduled maturity of April 14, 2025 and a rate of 4.28%. The Company did not have any long-term FHLB advances at December 31, 2022.

On July 14, 2021, the Company completed a $30.0 million issuance, ($29.4 million, net of issuance costs) of subordinated notes (the Notes) in a private placement transaction. The Notes are due in 2031 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.5% for five years and at the three-month SOFR plus 286 basis points, resetting quarterly, thereafter.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Credit-Related Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Note 8. Share-Based Compensation


Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has adopted an ESPP and offers share-based compensation through its equity compensation plan. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance units and stock appreciation rights. Accounting standards require all share-based payments to employees and non-employee directors to be valued using a fair value method on the date of grant and to be expensed based on that fair value over the applicable vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures during the vesting period as they occur.

Under the Company’s ESPP, substantially all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries can authorize a specific payroll deduction from their base compensation for the periodic purchase of the Company’s common stock. Shares of stock are issued quarterly at a discount to the market price of the Company’s stock on the day of purchase, which can range from 0-15% and was set at 5% for 2022 and for the first nine months of 2023.

Total stock purchases under the ESPP amounted to 5,453 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the Company had 216,325 remaining shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP.


Incentive Stock Plan
The Incentive Stock Plan permits the issuance of up to 300,000 shares of common stock for awards to key employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and performance units. As of September 30, 2023, only restricted stock has been granted under the Incentive Stock Plan.

Restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is summarized below:

The weighted average period over which nonvested awards are expected to be recognized in compensation expense is 1.65 years.

The remaining unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock shares totaled $650 thousand as of September 30, 2023 and $591 thousand as of September 30, 2022.

Stock-based compensation expense was $171 thousand and $121 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $419 thousand and $295 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of potentially dilutive common shares attributable to the ESPP. The Company had no antidilutive shares outstanding in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Nonvested restricted common shares, which carry all rights and privileges of a common share with respect to the stock, including the right to vote, were included in the basic and diluted per common share calculations.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” topics of FASB ASU No. 2010-06, FASB ASU No. 2011-04, and FASB ASU No. 2016-01, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value can be a reasonable point within a range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

In estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company relies mainly on two models. The first model used by the Company’s bond accounting service provider, determines the fair value of securities. Securities are priced based on an evaluation of observable market data, including benchmark yield curves, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. Pricing is also impacted by credit information about the issuer, perceived market movements, and current news events impacting the individual sectors. The second source is a third party vendor the Company utilizes to provide fair value exit pricing for loans and interest bearing deposits in accordance with guidance.

In accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value into three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.


 •
Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

•
Level 2: Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•
Level 3: Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

21
Index
An instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Debt securities with readily determinable fair values that are classified as “available-for-sale” are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive loss. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

The Company recognizes IRLCs at fair value. Fair value of IRLCs is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis. All of the Company’s IRLCs are classified as Level 2.

The Company recognizes interest rate swaps on loans at fair value. The Company has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for these interest rate swaps using standard valuation techniques. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps on loans are classified as Level 2.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Under certain circumstances, adjustments are made to the fair value for assets and liabilities although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Initial fair value is based upon appraisals the Company obtains from independent licensed appraisers. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of similar properties, length of time the properties have been held, and the ability and intent with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Company may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell if valuations indicate a further deterioration in market conditions. As such, the Company records OREO as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no OREO that was measured at fair value.

Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). Gains and losses on the sale of loans are reported on a separate line item on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

23
Index
The following table presents the assets carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded. Assets are shown by class of loan and by level in the fair value hierarchy, as of the dates indicated. Certain impaired loans are valued by the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than at a market rate. These loans are not carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and, as such, are not included in the tables below.

Note 11. Segment Reporting

The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business segments: the Bank, Wealth, and the Company (for purposes of this Note, the Parent). Revenues from the Bank’s operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. Wealth’s operating revenues consist principally of income from fiduciary and asset management fees. The Parent’s revenues are mainly interest and dividends received from the Bank and Wealth. The Company has no other segments. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment appeals to different markets and, accordingly, requires different technologies and marketing strategies.

Information about reportable segments, and reconciliation of such information to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 follows:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Company, consisting of the parent company (the Parent) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and Wealth. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the notes to the financial statements, and the other financial information contained elsewhere in this report, as well as the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. In addition to current and historical information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to the Company’s future business, financial condition or results of operations. For a description of certain factors that may have a significant impact on the Company’s future business, financial condition or results of operations, see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained for any other period. Amounts are rounded for presentation purposes while some of the percentages presented are computed based on unrounded amounts.

Overview
The Company’s primary goals are to maximize earnings by maintaining strong asset quality and deploying capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance long-term stockholder value. The Company operates in three principal business segments: the Bank, Wealth, and the Company as a separate segment, the Parent. Revenues from the Bank’s operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities, fees earned on deposit accounts, debit card interchange, and treasury and commercial services and mortgage banking income. Wealth’s operating revenues consist principally of income from fiduciary and asset management fees. The Parent’s revenues are mainly fees and dividends received from the Bank and Wealth.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.4 million ($0.27 per diluted share) compared to $2.5 million ($0.51 per diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net income was $6.2 million, or $1.24 per diluted common share, and $6.5 million, or $1.27 per diluted common share, respectively.

Key factors affecting comparisons of consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are as follows. Comparisons are to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 unless otherwise stated.


 •
Total assets were $1.4 billion at September 30, 2023, growing $91.7 million or 6.8% from December 31, 2022.

•
Net loans held for investment grew $54.3 million, or 5.3%, from December 31, 2022 and $125.7 million, or 13.3% from September 30, 2022.

•
Total deposits increased $81.6 million, or 7.1%, from December 31, 2022 and $55.3 million, or 4.7% from September 30, 2022.

•
Nonperforming assets were $2.7 million at September 30, 2023 down from $4.7 million at September 30, 2022.

•
Average earning assets of $1.4 and $1.3 billion for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 grew $135.7 million, or 11.1%, and $90.5 million, or 7.3%, compared to the prior year comparative periods, respectively.

•
Average interest-bearing liabilities were $984.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, up $208.4 million or 26.9%, compared to the prior year comparative period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, average interest-bearing liabilities were $925.1 million and $786.6 million, respectively.

•
NIM was 3.33% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 3.67% in the second quarter of 2023 and 3.75% in the third quarter of 2022.  NIM on a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE) (non-GAAP) was 3.35% in the third quarter of 2023, 3.69% in the linked quarter and 3.78% in the third quarter of 2022.

•
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023, decreased $145 thousand, or 1.3% compared to the third quarter of 2022, and decreased $673 thousand, or 5.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net interest income was $36.3 million and $31.5 million, respectively.

•
Liquidity as of September 30, 2023, defined as cash and due from banks, unpledged securities, and available secured borrowing capacity, totaled $407.6 million, representing 28.2% of total assets.

Capital Management and Dividends
Total equity was $99.5 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $98.7 million at December 31, 2022. Total equity increased $792 thousand at September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, due primarily to $6.2 million of net income for the year partially offset by unrealized losses in the market value of securities available-for-sale, which are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, dividends, and by the adoption of CECL. The Company’s securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities, and their unrealized loss position is a result of increases in market interest rates rather than credit quality issues. The Company expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Company or its subsidiaries.

Index
For the third quarter of 2023, the Company declared dividends of $0.14 per share, an increase of 7.7% over dividends of $0.13 per share declared in the third quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, dividends declared were $0.42 per share compared to $0.39 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The dividend represents a payout ratio of 33.8% of EPS for the first nine months of 2023. The Board of Directors of the Company continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements, and expected future earnings. The Company’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support the Company’s risk profile consistent with the Board-approved risk appetite, provide financial flexibility to support future growth and client needs, comply with relevant laws, regulations, and supervisory guidance, and provide a competitive return to stockholders. Risk-based capital ratios, which include CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital for the Bank are calculated based on regulatory guidance related to the measurement of capital and risk-weighted assets. See “Table 13. Regulatory Capital” below for additional information.

At September 30, 2023, the book value per share of the Company’s common stock was $19.75, and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $19.39, compared to $19.75 and $19.37, respectively, at December 31, 2022. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below, for information about non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions, and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations. The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them, as needed. Management has discussed the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

For further information on the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” in its 2022 Form 10-K.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACLL represents the estimated balance the Company considers adequate to absorb expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of the loan portfolio. The ACLL is estimated using a loan-level discounted cash flows method for all loans with the exception of its automobile, farmland, and consumer portfolios. For the automobile, farmland, and consumer portfolios, the Company has elected to pool those loans based on similar risk characteristics to determine the ACLL using the remaining life methods.

Determining the appropriateness of the ACLL is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the ACLL in future periods. There are both internal factors (i.e. loan balances, credit quality, and the contractual lives of loans) and external factors (i.e. economic conditions such as trends in interest rates, GDP, inflation, and unemployment) that can impact the ACLL estimate.

For instance, the Company considers the national unemployment rate as an external economic variable in developing the ACLL. The quantitative ACLL estimate is sensitive to changes in the unemployment rate forecast over a one-year reasonable and supportable period, with the commercial loan portfolio being the most sensitive to fluctuations in unemployment. Because current economic conditions and forecasts can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated credit losses on loans and therefore the appropriateness of the ACLL, could change significantly. It is difficult to estimate how potential changes in any one economic factor or input might affect the overall ACLL because changes in those factors and inputs may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across all loan types. Additionally, changes in factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.

The Company reviews its ACLL estimation process regularly for appropriateness as the economic and internal environment are constantly changing. While the ACLL estimate represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses, due to uncertainty surrounding internal and external factors, there is potential that the estimate may not be adequate over time to cover credit losses in the portfolio. While management uses available information to estimate expected losses on loans, future changes in the ACLL may be necessary based on changes in portfolio composition, portfolio credit quality, economic conditions and/or other factors.

For further information concerning accounting policies, refer to “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 3. Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans” included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” above, as well as “Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income
The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees generated by earning assets and interest expense paid to fund them. Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income. The NIM is calculated by dividing net interest income by average earning assets, or on a fully tax-equivalent basis, tax-equivalent net interest income by average earning assets.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $11.4 million, a decrease of $145 thousand, or 1.3%, from the third quarter of 2022. The decrease from the prior year quarter is due primarily to higher average interest-bearing liabilities at higher average rates partially offset by higher average earning asset balances at higher average yields. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net interest income was $36.3 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The increase from the prior-year comparative period was due primarily to deployment of lower yielding cash to fund growth in higher yielding loans and investments, and higher average yields on earning asset balances due to the effect of rising market interest rates, partially offset by higher average interest-bearing liabilities at higher average rates.

Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), was $11.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $186 thousand from the 2022 comparative quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), was $36.5 million and $31.8 million, respectively. NIM for the third quarter of 2023 was 3.33%, a decrease from 3.75% for the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, NIM was 3.67% and 3.42%, respectively. On a fully tax-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), NIM was 3.35% and 3.68%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 3.78% and 3.44% for the respective prior year comparative periods.

Average earning asset balances for the third quarter increased $135.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2022 with yields on average earning assets increasing 99 basis points due to deployment of liquidity into higher earning assets and the effects of the rising interest rate environment.  During the first nine months of 2023, average earning assets increased $90.5 million over the 2022 comparative period.

Average loans increased $148.1 million, or 15.8%, and $183.9 million, or 20.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022.  The increase in average loans outstanding in 2023 compared to 2022 was due primarily to growth in construction and land development, residential real estate, commercial real estate, and indirect consumer segments of the loan portfolio. Average loan yields were higher for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 by 78 basis points and 79 basis points, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2022 due primarily to the effects of rising interest rates.

Average securities available for sale decreased $30.2 million and $21.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to fluctuations in fair market value and sale activity. The average yield on the investment securities portfolio increased 107 basis points and 130 basis points for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022 due primarily to the effects of rising interest rates on the Company’s variable rate investment securities portfolio.

Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, consisting primarily of excess cash reserves maintained at the FRB, increased $16.2 million and decreased $72.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, compared to the respective periods in 2022 due primarily to deployment of liquidity in loans held for investment. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased 320 basis points for the third quarter and 451 for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due to rising interest rates. The FRB increased the interest rate on excess cash reserve balances to 5.40 percent during the third quarter of 2023.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $208.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, with costs increasing 191 basis points. The higher interest cost on liabilities was due to higher interest rates on money market and time deposits as well as additional borrowing costs associated with federal funds purchased and short and long term FHLB advances during the period to help fund loan growth. Average money market and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $66.2 million and $51.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, and average time deposits increased $107.2 million and $42.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. Average savings deposits declined $24.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $20.4 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $73.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $37.6 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to the same periods of 2022. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 178 basis points for the third quarter of 2023 and 118 basis points for the first nine months of 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, due primarily to higher rates on deposits driven by depositors seeking increased yields and competitive pricing pressures. While changes in rates take effect immediately for interest checking, money market and savings accounts, changes in the average cost of time deposits lag changes in pricing based on the repricing of time deposits at maturity and the pace with which customers move funds from other deposit products into or out of time deposit products.

30
Index
During 2022 and continuing into 2023, market interest rates significantly increased. While the Company expects asset yields to continue to rise, the Company expects the cost of funds to continue to rise during the fourth quarter of 2023. The extent to which rising interest rates will ultimately affect the Company’s NIM is uncertain and depends on a number of complex factors, certain of which will be outside of the Company’s control.

 *Computed on a fully tax-equivalent (non-GAAP) basis using a 21% rate, adjusting interest income by $156 thousand and $228 thousand for September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
**Annualized

Interest income and expense are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, by changes in volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and by the interaction of rate and volume factors. The following table shows the direct causes of the period-to-period changes in the components of net interest income.  The Company calculates the rate and volume variances using a formula prescribed by the SEC. Rate/volume variances, the third element in the calculation, are not show separately in the table, but are allocated to the rate and volume variances in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of each.

33
Index
The Company believes NIM may be affected in future periods by several factors that are difficult to predict, including (1) changes in interest rates, which may depend on the severity of adverse economic conditions, inflationary pressures, the timing and extent of any economic recovery, which are inherently uncertain; (2) possible changes in the composition of earning assets which may result from decreased loan demand as a result of the current economic environment; and (3) possible changes in the composition of interest-bearing liabilities, which may result from decreased deposit balances, increased competition for deposits, changes in customer behavior in response to changes in interest rates, or from changes in the availability of certain types of wholesale funding.

Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $505 thousand compared to $402 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022.  The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2023 reflected a provision of $478 thousand for loans and a provision for unfunded commitments of $27 thousand. The provision for credit losses was $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2022. Charged-off loans totaled $1.2 million and $1.7 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Recoveries amounted to $526 thousand and $693 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s annualized net loans charged off to average loans were 0.10% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 0.16% for the third quarter of 2022. The increased provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 is primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and continued uncertainty in the economic outlook.

The state of the local economy can have a significant impact on the level of loan charge-offs. If the economy begins to contract, nonperforming assets could increase as a result of declines in real estate values and home sales or increases in unemployment rates and financial stress on borrowers. Increased nonperforming assets would increase charge-offs and reduce earnings due to larger contributions to the provision for loan losses.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income was $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, increasing $118 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2022. The increase over the prior year quarter was primarily driven by increases in fiduciary and asset management fees, bank-owned life insurance income, and mortgage banking income, partially offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges, commissions, and fees. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 stayed flat at $10.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Gains on sales of fixed assets of $200 thousand and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities and repossessed assets of $134 thousand and $69 thousand, respectively, were recognized during the second and third quarter of 2023 which impacted the quarterly and year-to-date comparatives and are not expected to be repeated.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase over the prior year quarter was primarily driven by increased salaries and employee benefit expense, occupancy and equipment, and data processing.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily driven by the addition of revenue producing officers, a return to normalized position vacancy levels, incentive compensation expense, and lower deferred loan costs. The Company completed negotiations with a major vendor relationship during the fourth quarter of 2022 which began reducing certain existing cost structures during the first nine months of 2023 and will provide an opportunity for operational leverage for future growth at fixed cost levels. Several other major vendor contracts and relationships continue to be assessed and negotiated as a key component of efforts to reduce noninterest expense levels while improving operational efficiency. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest expense increased $4.8 million, or 14.5% over the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, data processing, ATM and other losses, and other operating expenses.

The Company’s income tax expense decreased $106 thousand for the third quarter compared against the second quarter and increased $30 thousand for the first nine months of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to changes in the levels of pre-tax income and the mix of effective tax-exempt income. The effective federal income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were 10.5% and 14.2%, respectively, and the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 14.4% and 13.4%, respectively.

Balance Sheet Review
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total assets of $1.4 billion, an increase of $91.7 million compared to assets at December 31, 2022.

Net loans held for investment increased $54.3 million or 5.3%, from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2022 to $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2023, driven by diversified loan growth in the following segments: construction and land development of $16.2 million, residential real estate of $21.0 million, commercial real estate of $11.9 million, and consumer loans of $5.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $58.4 million from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023. Securities available-for-sale, at fair value, decreased $24.9 million from December 31, 2022 to $200.6 million as of September 30, 2023 driven primarily by unrealized losses due to the rise in interest rates.

Total deposits of $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2023 increased $81.6 million, or 7.1% from December 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $70.3 million, or 16.8%, savings deposits increased $35.3 million, or 6.0%, and time deposits increased $116.6 million, or 76.2%, driven by depositors seeking increased yields and pricing competition.

34
Index
The Company utilizes FHLB advances as a primary source of liquidity as needed. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had FHLB advances of $69.5 million and $46.1 million, respectively. Decreases in overnight repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased were offset by an increase in FHLB advances as the Company used additional borrowings to help fund loan growth during the first nine months of 2023.

Securities Portfolio
When comparing September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2022, securities available-for-sale decreased $24.9 million, or 11.0%, due to an investment sale and normal cash flows from the portfolio. The change in market value was due primarily to changes in market interest rates.

The Company’s strategy for the securities portfolio is primarily intended to manage the portfolio’s susceptibility to interest rate risk and to provide liquidity to fund loan growth. The securities portfolio is also adjusted to achieve other asset/liability objectives, including pledging requirements, and to manage tax exposure when necessary.

The following table sets forth a summary of the securities portfolio in dollar amounts at fair value and as a percentage of the Company’s total securities available-for-sale as of the dates indicated:

The adoption of ASC 326 replaced previous impaired loan and TDR accounting guidance, and the evaluation of ACLL includes loans previously designated as impaired or TDRs together with other loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Management believes the Company has excellent credit quality review processes in place to identify problem loans quickly. For a detailed discussion of the Company’s nonperforming assets, refer to Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” under the heading “Note 3. Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Allowance for Credit Losses
As of September 30, 2023, the ACL was $12.1 million, comprised of ACLL of $11.8 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $293 thousand. The increase in the ACLL during the first nine months of 2023 was due primarily to growth in the portfolio and the adoption of CECL, which resulted in an implementation adjustment on January 1, 2023 of $641 thousand. The following table summarizes the ACL as of September 30, 2023.

The ACLL represents an amount that, in management’s judgement, will be adequate to absorb expected credit losses in the loan portfolio; however, if elevated levels of risk are identified, provision for credit losses may increase in future periods.  The following tables present the Company’s loan loss experience for the periods indicated:

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated amounts of total uninsured deposits were approximately $216.1 million and $254.7 million, respectively. The following table shows maturities of the estimated amounts of uninsured time deposits as of September 30, 2023. The estimate of uninsured deposits generally represents deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 and is calculated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for purposes of the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.

Capital Resources
Total stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2023 was $99.5 million, up 0.8% from $98.7 million on December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily related to current year earnings, partially offset by unrealized losses in the market value of securities available for sale, which are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, the adoption of CECL and dividends paid by the Company. The Company’s securities available-for-sale are fixed income debt securities, and their unrealized loss position is a result of changes in market interest rates rather than credit quality issues. The Company expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the net income or regulatory capital of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on such factors as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Company’s and the Bank’s capital is regularly reviewed. The Company targets regulatory capital levels that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses. While the Company will continue to look for opportunities to invest capital in profitable growth, the Company will also consider investing capital in other transactions, such as share repurchases, that facilitate improving shareholder return, as measured by ROE and EPS.

The Bank’s capital position remains strong as evidenced by the regulatory capital measurements. Under the banking regulations, Total Capital is composed of core capital (Tier 1) and supplemental capital (Tier 2). Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders' equity less goodwill. Tier 2 capital consists of certain qualifying debt and a qualifying portion of the ACL. In addition, the Bank has made the one-time irrevocable election to continue treating accumulated other comprehensive income under regulatory standards that were in place prior to the Basel III Capital Rules in order to eliminate volatility of regulatory capital that can result from fluctuations in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in regulatory capital, as would otherwise be required under the Basel III Capital Rule. As a result of this election, changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, including unrealized losses on securities available for sale, do not affect regulatory capital amounts shown in the table below for the Bank, but transactions that would cause the Bank to realize such unrealized losses would affect such regulatory capital amounts.

40
Index
Pursuant to applicable regulations and regulatory guidance, the Company is treated as a small bank holding company and will not be subject to regulatory capital requirements. For more information, refer to “Regulation and Supervision” included in Item 1, “Business”
of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

On September 17, 2019, the FDIC finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework), as required by the EGRRCPA. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework.

In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. The CBLR framework was available for banks to begin using in their March 31, 2020, Call Report. The Bank did not opt into the CBLR framework.

The following is a summary of the Bank’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As shown below, these ratios were all well above the recommended regulatory minimum levels.

The Basel III Capital Rules established a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5 percent above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios, which is not included in the table above.  Including the capital conservation buffer, the minimum ratios are a Common Equity Tier 1 capital risk-based ratio of 7.0 percent, a Tier 1 capital risk-based ratio of 8.5 percent, and a Total capital risk-based ratio of 10.5 percent.  The Bank exceeded these ratios as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

On July 14, 2021, the Company issued $30.0 million ($29.4 million, net of issuance costs) of 3.5 percent fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 (the Notes) in a private placement transaction.  The Notes initially bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.5 percent for five years and convert to three-month SOFR plus 286 basis points, resetting quarterly, thereafter.  The Notes were structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes and are included in the Company’s Tier 2 capital as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investments in securities and loans maturing within one year. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, maturities, calls and sales of securities, the issuance of brokered certificates of deposits and the capacity to borrow additional funds.

A major source of the Company’s liquidity is its large, stable deposit base. In addition, secondary liquidity sources are available through the use of borrowed funds if the need should arise, including secured advances from the FHLB and FRB. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $430.4 million in total FHLB borrowing availability based on loans and securities currently available for pledging. The Company believes that the availability at the FHLB is sufficient to meet future cash-flow needs. The Company also has available short-term, unsecured borrowed funds in the form of federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks.

Index
Based on the Company’s management of liquid assets, the availability of borrowed funds, and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ future borrowing needs. The Bank also participates in the IntraFi Cash Sweep, a product which provides the Bank the capability of providing additional deposit insurance to customers through three types of account arrangements. The Company experienced a change in liquidity mix beginning during the fourth quarter of 2022 as short-term FHLB borrowings were utilized to fund loan growth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions nationally and in the Company’s markets. The Company is closely monitoring changes in the industry and market conditions that may affect the Company’s liquidity, including the potential impacts on the Company’s liquidity of declines in the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio as a result of rising market interest rates and developments in the financial services industry that may change the availability of traditional sources of liquidity or market expectations with respect to available sources and amounts of additional liquidity. Depending on its liquidity levels, its capital position, conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Company may from time to time consider the issuance of debt, equity, other securities or other possible capital markets transactions, the proceeds of which could provide additional liquidity for the Company’s operations.

The following table sets forth information relating to the Company’s sources of liquidity and the outstanding commitments for use of liquidity as of September 30, 2023. Dividing the total short-term sources of liquidity by the outstanding commitments for use of liquidity derives the liquidity coverage ratio.

(1) Represents partial draw levels based on loan segment.

As a result of the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding and management of liquid assets, management believes the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy operational requirements and contractual obligations. The Company’s internal sources of liquidity are deposits, loan and investment repayments and securities available-for-sale. The Company’s primary external source of liquidity is advances from the FHLB.

In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into contractual obligations and has made other commitments to make future payments. As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business as disclosed in the Company’s contractual obligations disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, there were no material changes in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In reporting the results as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has provided supplemental financial measures on a tax equivalent, tangible, or adjusted basis.  These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company’s financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below.

Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company does not intend or assume any obligation to update, revise, or clarify any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time or on behalf of the Company, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. In addition, past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

45
Index
Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s third quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that, in the opinion of management, may materially impact the financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.

An investment in the Company’s securities involves risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the information addressed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” investors in the Company’s securities should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. These factors could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and capital position and could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from its historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

There have been no material changes in the risk factors faced by the Company from those disclosed in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plans, participants may pay the exercise price of certain awards or satisfy tax withholding requirements associated with awards by surrendering shares of the Company’s common stock that the participants already own. Additionally, participants may also surrender shares upon vesting of restricted stock awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements. Shares surrendered by participants of these plans are repurchased at current market value pursuant to the terms of the applicable awards. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares related to the equity compensation plan awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not have an effective share repurchase program that was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors.
