Note (1)—Basis of presentation:

Overview and presentation

FB Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a financial holding company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company operates primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, FirstBank (the "Bank") and the Bank's subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2023, the Bank had full-service branches throughout Tennessee, Alabama, southern Kentucky and north Georgia, and a mortgage business with office locations across the Southeast, which primarily originates loans to be sold to third party private investors or government sponsored agencies in the secondary market.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP interim reporting requirements and general banking industry guidelines, and therefore, do not include all information and notes included in the annual consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

In preparing the 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 financial statements and the reported results of operations for the reporting periods and the related disclosures. Although management's estimates contemplate current conditions and how they are expected to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could vary from those anticipated, which could cause the Company's financial condition and results of operations to vary significantly from those estimates.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or shareholders’ equity.

Earnings per share

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under the restricted stock units granted but not yet vested and distributable. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus an incremental number of common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method.

Unvested share-based payment awards, which include the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents, are considered to participate with common shareholders in undistributed earnings for purposes of computing EPS. Companies that have such participating securities are required to calculate basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Certain share-based payment awards granted by the Company include non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities. Calculations of EPS under the two-class method (i) exclude from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities and (ii) exclude from the denominator the dilutive impact of the participating securities.

Recently adopted accounting standards:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide relief for companies preparing for discontinuation of interest rates based on LIBOR. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 also provides for a one-time sale and/or transfer to AFS or trading to be made for held-to-maturity debt securities that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as held-to-maturity before January 1, 2020. ASU 2020-04 was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and through December 31, 2022. Companies can apply the ASU as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. The guidance requires companies to apply the guidance prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships while the one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity may be made any time after March 12, 2020. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" to extend the date to December 31, 2024 for companies to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company has implemented its transition plan away from LIBOR following the benchmark's discontinuation effective June 30, 2023. The application of this guidance did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method", to expand the current single-layer method of electing hedge accounting to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio under the method. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of ASU No. 2022-01 for any entity that has adopted the amendments in ASU No.2017-12 for the corresponding period. The Company adopted the update effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Additionally, in March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" related to troubled debt restructurings and vintage disclosures for financing receivables. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan modifications and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company prospectively adopted the amendment effective January 1, 2023 and updated its disclosures beginning with the first quarter of 2023. Refer to Note 3 for further information. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Newly issued not yet effective accounting standards:

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB issued this update to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, to amend a related illustrative example, and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The ASU becomes effective January 1, 2024 and the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements” as part of the Post-Implementation Review process of Topic 842 around related party arrangements between entities under common control. Under previous guidance, a lessee is generally required to amortize leasehold improvements that it owns over the shorter of the useful life of those improvements or the lease term. However, due to the nature of leasehold improvements made under leases between entities under common control, ASU 2023-01 requires a lessee in a common-control arrangement to amortize such leasehold improvements that it owns over the improvements' useful life to the common control group, regardless of the lease term. The ASU becomes effective January 1, 2024 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Additionally, in March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method". The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The ASU becomes effective January 1, 2024. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have no impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial statements but could influence the Company's decisions with respect to investments in certain tax credits prospectively.

Subsequent events

On October 16, 2023, the Company incurred approximately $898 of termination costs in connection with an announced reduction-in-force which affected employees across the Company's operations. Additionally, on October 16, 2023, the Company announced the plans for the closure of 7 branches. Estimated costs of closing these branches have not yet been determined. Closure of these branches is conditional on customer notifications and is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2024.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s debt securities portfolio consisted of and securities, and of which were in an unrealized loss position, respectively.

The majority of the investment portfolio was either government guaranteed, an issuance of a government sponsored entity, or highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and the Company has historically not recorded any credit losses associated with these investments. Municipal securities with market values below amortized cost at September 30, 2023 were reviewed for material credit events and/or rating downgrades with individual credit reviews performed. The issuers of these debt securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities, and the issuers will continue to be observed as a part of the Company’s ongoing credit monitoring. As such, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, it was determined that all available-for-sale debt securities that experienced a decline in fair value below amortized cost basis were due to noncredit-related factors. Further, it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, there was no allowance for credit losses recognized on available-for-sale debt securities as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Equity Securities

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had and , in marketable equity securities recorded at fair value, respectively. The Company had equity securities without readily determinable market value included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets with carrying amounts of and at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the Company had and of FHLB stock carried at cost at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, included separately from the other equity securities discussed above.

The change in the fair value of equity securities and sale of equity securities with readily determinable fair values resulted in a net loss of and of for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and in a net loss of and of for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans HFI

The Company calculates its expected credit loss using a lifetime loss rate methodology. The Company utilizes probability-weighted forecasts, which consider multiple macroeconomic variables from Moody's that are applicable to each type of loan. Each of the Company's loss rate models incorporate forward-looking macroeconomic projections throughout the reasonable and supportable forecast period and the subsequent historical reversion at the macroeconomic variable input level. In order to estimate the life of a loan, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments based on market information and the Company’s prepayment history.

The Company's loss rate models estimate the lifetime loss rate for pools of loans by combining the calculated loss rate based on each variable within the model (including the macroeconomic variables). The lifetime loss rate for the pool is then multiplied by the loan balances to determine the expected credit losses on the pool.

The quantitative models require loan data and macroeconomic variables based on the inherent credit risks in each portfolio to more accurately measure the credit risks associated with each. Each of the quantitative models pools loans with similar risk characteristics and collectively assesses the lifetime loss rate for each pool to estimate its expected credit loss.

The Company considers the need to qualitatively adjust its modeled quantitative expected credit loss estimate for information not already captured in the model loss estimation process. These qualitative factor adjustments may increase or decrease the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses. The Company reviews the qualitative adjustments so as to validate that information that has already been considered and included in the modeled quantitative loss estimation process is not also included in the qualitative adjustment. The Company considers the qualitative factors that are relevant to the institution as of the reporting date, which may include, but are not limited to: levels of and trends in delinquencies and performance of loans; levels of and trends in write-offs and recoveries collected; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in reasonable and supportable economic forecasts; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and expertise; available relevant information sources that contradict the Company’s own forecast; effects of changes in prepayment expectations or other factors affecting assessments of loan contractual terms; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The Company performed evaluations within it’s established qualitative framework, assessing the impact of the current economic outlook, including: continued actions taken by the Federal Reserve with regard to monetary policy, interest rates and the potential impact of those actions, potential impact of persistent high inflation on economic growth, failures of several U.S. banks in the first half of 2023, potential negative economic forecasts, and other considerations. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans HFI as of September 30, 2023 compared with December 31, 2022 is primarily the result of deterioration in economic forecasts between periods. These forecasts included weighted projections that the economy may be nearing a recession, reflected through deterioration in asset quality projected over life of the loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, the macroeconomic forecast was based solely using the Moody’s baseline scenario, which showed a slightly more negative outlook than the comparative baseline as of December 31, 2022, which used a weighting of two economic forecasts from Moody’s in order to align with management’s best estimate over the reasonable and supportable forecast period. At December 31, 2022, the Moody’s baseline scenario was more heavily weighted while the downside scenario received a smaller weighting. While the primary driver of the increase in allowance for credit losses on loans HFI was the deterioration in economic forecasts between periods, a portion of the increase was attributable to reserves on individually evaluated loans. Most notably, the Company had a single commercial and industrial relationship that was moved to nonaccrual during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and had a specific reserve of $3,143.

The Company calculates its allowance for credit losses on loans HFI using a lifetime loss rate methodology and disaggregates the loan portfolio into pools. The following presents a summary of quantitative and qualitative factors considered as of September 30, 2023, which resulted in changes in the allowance for credit losses compared to December 31, 2022 as described below.

Pool Source of repayment Quantitative and Qualitative factors considered

Commercial and Industrial Repayment is largely dependent upon the operation of the borrower's business. Quantitative: Prepayment speeds are modeled in the form of a prepayment benchmarking that directly impacts the ACL output for all C&I loans and lines of credit. Loss rates incorporate a peer scaling factor. Qualitative: Uncertainty in the economic outlook, including the effects of inflation and the interest rate environment, along with slight deterioration in asset quality are driving an increase in the qualitative reserves in the ACL attributable to C&I loans.

Retail Repayment is primarily dependent on the personal cash flow of the borrower. Quantitative: Average FICO scores, remaining life of the portfolio, delinquency composition, prepayment speeds leveraging Equifax and Moody's data Qualitative: High modeled loss rates and the relatively strong housing market within the bank’s footprint are driving a qualitative decrease in the ACL.

Commercial Real Estate Repayment is primarily dependent on lease income generated from the underlying collateral. Quantitative: Prepayment speeds leverage a reverse-compounding formula. Loss rates incorporate a peer scaling factor. Qualitative: Uncertainty in the economic outlook, including the effects of inflation and the interest rate environment, are driving an increase the qualitative reserves in the ACL attributable to CRE loans.

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans in any given pool, the loan is individually assessed. The Company has determined the following circumstances in which a loan may require an individual evaluation: collateral dependent loans; loans for which foreclosure is probable; and loans with other unique risk characteristics. A loan is deemed collateral dependent when 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) the repayment is expected to be primarily through sale or operation of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses for collateral dependent loans as well as loans where foreclosure is probable is calculated as the amount for which the loan’s amortized cost basis exceeds fair value. Fair value is determined based on appraisals performed by qualified appraisers and reviewed by qualified personnel. In cases where repayment is to be provided substantially through the sale of collateral, the Company reduces the fair value by the estimated costs to sell.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company prospectively adopted the accounting guidance in ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures", which eliminates the recognition and measurement of TDRs. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer measures an allowance for credit losses for TDRs it reasonably expects will occur, and it evaluates all loan modifications according to the accounting guidance for loan refinancing and modifications to determine whether the modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. After adoption, the Company now derecognizes the existing loan and accounts for the modified loan as a new loan if the effective yield on the modified loan is at least equal to the effective yield for comparable loans with similar collection risks and the modifications to the original loan are more than minor. If a loan modification does not meet these conditions, it extends the existing loan’s amortized cost basis and accounts for the modified loan as a continuation of the existing loan. Substantially all of its loan modifications involving borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan.

Prior to January 1, 2023, loans experiencing financial difficulty for which a concession has not yet been provided may be identified as reasonably expected TDRs. Reasonably expected TDRs and TDRs used the same methodology to estimate credit losses. In cases where the expected credit loss could only be captured through a discounted cash flow analysis (such as an interest rate modification for a TDR loan), the allowance was measured by the amount which the loan’s amortized cost exceeds the discounted cash flow analysis.

Credit Quality - Commercial Type Loans

The Company categorizes commercial loan types into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans that share similar risk characteristics collectively. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

  • Pass. Loans rated Pass include those that are adequately collateralized performing loans which management believes do not have conditions that have occurred or may occur that would result in the loan being downgraded into an inferior category. The Pass category also includes commercial loans rated as Watch, which include those that management believes have conditions that have occurred, or may occur, which could result in the loan being downgraded to an inferior category.
  • Special Mention. Loans rated Special Mention are those that have potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Management does not believe there will be a loss of principal or interest. These loans require intensive servicing and may possess more than normal credit risk.
  • Classified. Loans included in the Classified category include loans rated as Substandard and Doubtful. Loans rated as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Also included in this category are loans classified as Doubtful, which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weakness or weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Risk ratings are updated on an ongoing basis and are subject to change by continuous loan monitoring processes.

Credit Quality - Consumer Type Loans

For consumer and residential loan classes, the company primarily evaluates credit quality based on delinquency and accrual status of the loan, credit documentation and by payment activity. The performing or nonperforming status is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement and deterioration in credit quality.

The following tables present the credit quality by classification (performing or nonperforming) of the Company's consumer type loan portfolio as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the gross charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 by year of origination. Revolving loans are presented separately. Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal constitutes a current period origination. Generally, current period renewals of credit are reunderwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for the purposes of the tables below.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the accounting guidance in ASU 2022-02 which requires the presentation of gross charge-offs by year of origination. The Company prospectively adopted ASU 2022-02; therefore, prior period balances for gross charge-offs by year of origination are not included below.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Occasionally, the Company may make certain modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications may be in the form of an interest rate reduction, a term extension or a combination thereof.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the portion of the loan deemed uncollectible is charged off against the allowance for credit losses on loans HFI.

The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company modified one residential mortgage loan with a balance of $31 and one commercial and industrial loan with a balance of $187 in the form of term extensions for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company modified three residential mortgage loans with balances totaling $165 and one commercial and industrial loan with a balance of $187 in the form of term extensions for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.

Troubled debt restructurings

The following disclosure is presented in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02. The Company has included this disclosure as of December 31, 2022 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Prior to the Company's adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. ASU 2022-02 eliminated TDR accounting prospectively for all restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2023. Loans that were restructured in a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 will continue to be accounted for under the historical TDR accounting until the loan is paid off, liquidated or subsequently modified. See Note 1, "Basis of presentation" for more information on the Company's adoption of ASU 2022-02.

Note (8)—Commitments and contingencies:

Commitments to extend credit & letters of credit

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines and letters of credit, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These unfunded loan commitment agreements provide credit or support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates.

FB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The same credit and underwriting policies the Company uses to evaluate and underwrite loans are also used to originate unfunded loan commitments, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. These unfunded loan commitments are only recorded in the consolidated financial statements when drawn upon and many expire without being used. The Company's maximum off-balance sheet exposure to credit loss from these unfunded loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unfunded loan commitments included above with floating interest rates totaled and , respectively.

As part of its credit loss process, the Company estimates expected credit losses on its unfunded loan commitments under the CECL methodology. When applying this methodology, the Company considers the likelihood that funding will occur, the contractual period of exposure to credit loss, the risk of loss, historical loss experience, and current conditions along with expectations of future economic conditions.

Loan repurchases or indemnifications

In connection with the sale of mortgage loans to third party private investors or government sponsored agencies, the Company makes representations and warranties as to the propriety of its origination activities, which are typical and customary to these types of transactions. Occasionally, the investors require the Company to repurchase loans sold to them under the terms of the warranties. When this happens, the loans are recorded at fair value with a corresponding charge to a recorded valuation reserve. The total principal amount of loans repurchased (or indemnified for) was and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively and and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company has established a reserve associated with loan repurchases.

Note (9)—Derivatives:

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its ongoing efforts to manage its interest rate risk exposure as well as interest rate exposure for its customers. Derivative financial instruments are included in the consolidated balance sheets line items “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company enters into interest rate-lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding. Under such commitments, interest rates for these loans are typically locked in for between 45 to 90 days with the customer. These interest rate lock commitments are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company also enters into best effort or mandatory delivery forward commitments to sell these loans to third party private investors or government sponsored agencies in the secondary market. Gains and losses arising from changes in the valuation of the interest rate-lock commitments and forward commitments are recognized currently in earnings and are reflected under the line item “Mortgage banking income” on the consolidated statements of income.

The Company also enters into forward commitments, futures and options contracts as economic hedges to offset the changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Gains and losses associated with these instruments are included in earnings and are reflected under the line item “Mortgage banking income” on the consolidated statements of income.

Additionally, the Company enters into derivative instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges

The Company also maintains two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $30,000 used to hedge interest rate exposure on outstanding subordinated debentures included in long-term debt totaling $30,930. The interest rate swap contracts, which mature in June of 2024, are designated as cash flow hedges with the objective of reducing the variability in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company receives a variable rate of interest equal to the ISDA recommended fallback rate of SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and pays a weighted average fixed rate of interest of 2.08%.

The following presents a summary of the Company's designated cash flow hedges as of the dates presented:

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges

The Company utilizes designated fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing rates on the fair value of various fixed rate liabilities, including certain money market deposits and subordinated debt. The hedging strategy converts the fixed interest rates of the hedged items to the daily compounded SOFR in arrears paid monthly. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value hedges were deemed effective.

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets when the “right of offset” exists or when the instruments are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement, which includes the right of the non-defaulting party or non-affected party to offset recognized amounts, including collateral posted with the counterparty, to determine a net receivable or net payable upon early termination of the agreement. Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting agreements, however the Company has not elected to offset such financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents the Company's gross derivative positions as recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as well as the net derivative positions, including collateral pledged to the extent the application of such collateral did not reduce the net derivative liability position below , had the Company elected to offset those instruments subject to an enforceable master netting agreement:

Note (10)—Fair value of financial instruments:

FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.

The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels, based on the reliability of inputs:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as 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.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The Company records the fair values of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring and non-recurring basis using the following methods and assumptions:

Investment Securities Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments or are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the pricing relationship or correlation among other benchmark quoted securities. Investment securities valued using quoted market prices of similar instruments or that are valued using matrix pricing are classified as Level 2. When significant inputs to the valuation are unobservable, the available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Where no active market exists for a security or other benchmark securities, fair value is estimated by the Company with reference to discount margins for other high-risk securities.

Loans held for sale Loans held for sale are carried at fair value. For mortgage loans HFS, fair value is determined using current secondary market prices for loans with similar characteristics, that is, using Level 2 inputs. Rebooked guaranteed GNMA optional repurchase loans included in loans held for sale do not meet the requirements under FASB ASC Topic 825 to be accounted for under the fair value option and are carried at their principal balance. For commercial loans held for sale, fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, market discount rates, credit metrics and collateral value when appropriate. As such, these are considered Level 3.

Derivatives The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements to facilitate customer transactions are based upon fair values provided from entities that engage in interest rate swap activity and is based upon projected future cash flows and interest rates. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments associated with the mortgage pipeline is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, and for fixed-rate commitments, the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates is also considered. The fair values of the Company's designated cash flow and fair value hedges are determined by calculating the difference between the discounted fixed rate cash flows and the discounted variable rate cash flows. The fair values of both the Company's hedges, including designated cash flow hedges and designated fair value hedges are based on pricing models that utilize observable market inputs. These financial instruments are classified as Level 2.

OREO OREO is comprised of commercial and residential real estate obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations and excess land and facilities held for sale. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell. Fair value is determined on a nonrecurring basis based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and is adjusted for management’s estimates of costs to sell and holding period discounts. The valuations are classified as Level 3.

Mortgage servicing rights MSRs are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing costs, and other factors. As such, MSRs are considered Level 3.

Collateral dependent loans Collateral dependent loans are loans for which, based on current information and events, the Company has determined foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral dependent loans are classified as Level 3.

For collateral dependent loans, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. Fair value of the loan's collateral is determined by third-party appraisals, which are then adjusted for estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management's knowledge of the borrower and borrower's business. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total amortized cost of collateral dependent loans measured on a non-recurring basis amounted to $11,192 and $3,054, respectively.

Other real estate owned acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair value at the date of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for credit losses.

Appraisals for both collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified appraisers whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the lending administrative department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry wide statistics. Collateral dependent loans that are dependent on recovery through sale of equipment, such as farm equipment, automobiles and aircrafts are generally valued based on public source pricing or subscription services while more complex assets are valued through leveraging brokers who have expertise in the collateral involved.

Mortgage loans held for sale

The Company measures mortgage loans originated for sale at fair value under the fair value option as permitted under ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" ("ASC 825"). Electing to measure these assets at fair value reduces certain timing differences and more accurately matches the changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.

Net losses of $376 and $556 resulting from fair value changes of mortgage loans were recorded in income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to net losses of $4,276 and $16,479 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The amount does not reflect changes in fair values of related derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to market-related risks associated with these mortgage loans. The net change in fair value of these loans held for sale and derivatives resulted in net losses of $582 and $129 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to net losses of $2,460 and $15,362 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The change in fair value of both loans held for sale and the related derivative instruments are recorded in mortgage banking Income in the consolidated statements of income. Election of the fair value option allows the Company to reduce the accounting volatility that would otherwise result from

the asymmetry created by accounting for the financial instruments at the lower of cost or fair value and the derivatives at fair value.

The Company’s valuation of mortgage loans held for sale incorporates an assumption for credit risk; however, given the short-term period that the Company holds these mortgage loans held for sale, valuation adjustments attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is nominal.

Note (11)—Segment reporting:

The Company and the Bank are engaged in the business of banking and provide a full range of financial services. The Company determines reportable segments based on the significance of the segment’s operating results to the overall Company, the products and services offered, customer characteristics, processes and service delivery of the segments and the regular financial performance review and allocation of resources by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company has identified distinct reportable segments—Banking and Mortgage. The Company’s primary segment is Banking, which provides a full range of deposit and lending products and services to corporate, commercial and consumer customers. The Company also originates conforming residential mortgage loans through its Mortgage segment, whose activities also include the servicing of residential mortgage loans and the packaging and securitization of loans to third party private investors or government sponsored agencies.

The financial performance of the Mortgage segment is assessed based on results of operations reflecting direct revenues and expenses and allocated expenses. Management feels this approach provides a better indication of the operating performance of this segment. When assessing the Banking segment’s financial performance, the CEO utilizes reports with indirect revenues and expenses including the core banking business as well as the investment portfolio, electronic delivery channels and areas that primarily support the Banking segment operations. Therefore, these are included in the results of the Banking segment. Other indirect revenue and expenses related to general administrative areas are also included in the internal financial results reports of the Banking segment utilized by the CEO for analysis and reporting. Additionally, the Banking segment includes the results of the Company's specialty lending group, which is focuses on manufactured housing lending. The Mortgage segment utilizes funding sources from the Banking segment in order to fund mortgage loans that are ultimately sold on the secondary market and uses proceeds from loan sales to repay obligations due to the Banking segment. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP; therefore, the financial results of the Company's individual segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Mortgage segment exited the direct-to-consumer internet delivery channel, resulting in the recognition of of restructuring expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The repositioning of the Mortgage segment did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations. The Company continues to originate and sell residential mortgage loans and retain mortgage servicing rights within its Mortgage segment through its retail channel, and continues to hold residential mortgage loans in the loan HFI portfolio.

Note (12)—Minimum capital requirements:

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

Under regulatory guidance for non-advanced approach institutions, the Bank and Company are required to maintain minimum capital ratios as outlined in the table below. Minimum risk-based capital adequacy ratios below include a capital conservation buffer of 2.50%. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank and Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. Additionally, under U.S. Basel III Capital Rules, the Bank and Company opted out of including accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital.

The Company elected to phase-in the impact related to adopting FASB ASU 2016-13 over the permissible five-year transition relief period and delayed the initial impact of CECL adoption plus 25% of the quarterly increases in ACL in the first two years after adoption. As of January 1, 2022, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments became fixed and are being phased out of regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three-year period, with 75% of the transition provision’s impact being recognized in 2022, 50% recognized in 2023, and 25% recognized in 2024.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are included below as of the dates indicated.

Note (13)—Stock-Based Compensation:

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants RSUs under compensation arrangements for the benefit of employees, executive officers, and directors. RSU grants are subject to time-based vesting. Compensation cost associated with time-based vesting RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The total number of restricted stock units granted represents the maximum number of restricted stock units eligible to vest based upon the service conditions set forth in the grant agreements.

The following table summarizes changes in restricted stock units for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Line itemRestricted Stock Units OutstandingWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at beginning of period (unvested)365,155$39.02

Vested(199,776)38.05
Forfeited(2,571)41.03
Balance at end of period (unvested)329,399$38.03

The total fair value of restricted stock units vested was $1,208 and $7,601 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1,474 and $7,320 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

The compensation cost related to these grants and vesting of restricted stock units was $1,965 and $5,859 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1,701 and $5,753 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. This includes amounts paid related to grants and compensation for directors elected to be settled in stock amounting to $179 and $626 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $171 and $485 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, there was $9,082 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.07 years. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, there were 1,506,871 shares available for issuance under the Company's stock compensation plans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $316 and $292, respectively, accrued in other liabilities related to dividend equivalent units declared to be paid upon vesting and distribution of the underlying restricted stock units.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The Company awards PSUs to executives, other officers and employees. Under the terms of the awards, the number of units that will vest and convert to shares of common stock will be based on the Company's performance relative to a predefined peer group over a fixed three-year performance period. The number of shares issued upon vesting will range from 0% to 200% of the PSUs granted. The Company's performance relative to a predefined peer group will be measured based on non-GAAP core return on average tangible common equity ratio, which is adjusted for unusual gains/losses, merger expenses, and other items as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors. Compensation expense for PSUs is estimated each period based on the fair value of the Company's stock at the grant date and the most probable outcome of the performance condition, adjusted for the passage of time within the performance period of the awards.

The following table summarizes information about the changes in PSUs as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Line itemPerformance Stock Units OutstandingWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance at beginning of period (unvested)161,667$41.73

Balance at end of period (unvested)189,536$40.91
(1) PSUs are presented as outstanding, granted and forfeited in the table above assuming targets are met and the awards pay out at 100%. PSU awards are settled with payouts ranging from 0% and 200% of the target award value based on the Company's performance relative to a predefined peer group over a fixed three-year performance period. The performance adjustment represents the difference in shares ultimately awarded due to performance attainment above or below target.

The following table summarizes data related to the Company's outstanding PSUs as of September 30, 2023:

GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this Report as being "non-GAAP financial measures." The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Report are adjusted efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and return on average tangible common equity.

In accordance with the SEC's rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in our financial highlights may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. As a result of differences in how companies report non-GAAP measures, presentations by other banking organizations may not be comparable with ours. The following reconciliation tables provide a more detailed analysis of, and reconciliations for, each of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis)

The adjusted efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis) is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain gains (losses), mortgage restructuring expenses, and other selected items. Our management uses this measure in its analysis of our performance. Our management believes this measure provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrates the effects of significant gains or losses and changes. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is the efficiency ratio.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our adjusted efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis) to our efficiency ratio for the periods below:

Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assetsTangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and other intangibles used by our management to evaluate capital adequacy. Because intangible assets such as goodwill and other intangibles vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the Company's capital position to other companies. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share and our total common shareholders' equity to total assets. The following table presents, as of the dates set forth below, tangible common equity compared with total common shareholders' equity, tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share and common equity to tangible assets compared to total common shareholders' equity to total assets:

Our primary source of funding for our loans is customer deposits, however we have other sources of funds including unsecured credit lines, brokered CDs, and other borrowings. We generate most of our revenue in our Mortgage segment from origination fees and gains on sales in the secondary mortgage loan market, as well as from mortgage servicing revenues.

Recent developments

Recent banking events

The banking sector experienced significant volatility during the first nine months of 2023, including high-profile bank failures, continuing interest rate hikes and recessionary concerns. We have proactively positioned the balance sheet to mitigate the risks affecting the Company and the overall banking industry in order to serve our clients and communities.

As of September 30, 2023, we carried on-balance sheet liquidity of $1.35 billion. We maintain the ability to access $6.78 billion of contingent liquidity from the FHLB, Federal Reserve, brokered CDs, and unsecured lines of credit. Our available-for-sale debt securities portfolio is 10.8% of total assets and we do not maintain any held-to-maturity investment securities. Management considers our current liquidity position to be more than adequate to meet both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Refer to the section 'Liquidity and capital resources' for additional information.

Further, our capital ratios of the Company, and its subsidiary bank are well above the standards to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory requirements. Refer to the section 'Shareholders' equity and capital management' for additional details.

Non-performing assets were 0.71% of total assets as of September 30, 2023 and net charge-offs during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were 0.02%, which we believe reflects our disciplined underwriting and conservative lending philosophy. Refer to the section 'Asset quality' for additional information.

While the high-profile bank failures and other concerns have impacted the entire banking industry and future events cannot be predicted, we remain committed to safe and sound community banking practices that have been a cornerstone of the Company's values and historical performance.

Overview of recent financial performance

Results of operations

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022

Our net income decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $19.2 million from $31.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.41 and $0.68 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our net income represented a return on average assets, or ROAA, of 0.61% and 1.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a return on average shareholders’ equity, or ROAE, of 5.46% and 9.45% for the same periods. Our ratio of return on average tangible common equity, or ROATCE for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 6.67% and 11.7%, respectively. See “GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures” in this Report for a discussion of tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our net interest income before provisions for credit losses was $100.9 million compared with $111.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our net interest margin, on

a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with 3.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by higher interest rates increasing our total cost of funds compared to the increase in the interest income on interest-earnings assets during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

We experienced a decrease in noninterest income of $14.6 million to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $22.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The primary driver of the decrease in noninterest income was the result of management's election to sell $76.6 million of available-for-sale securities, which contributed toward a $14.2 million net loss on investment securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Refer to the section “Other earnings assets” for additional information on the sale of the available-for sale securities.

Noninterest expense increased to $83.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $81.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in noninterest expense is reflective of $4.8 million in early retirement and severance costs associated with our efficiency and scalability initiatives during the three months ended September 30, 2023 offset by a decrease in legal and professional fees.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022

Our net income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $90.9 million from $86.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.94 and $1.83 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our net income represented a ROAA of 0.95% and 0.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a ROAE of 8.86% and 8.45% for the same periods. Our ROATCE for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 10.9% and 10.4%, respectively. See “GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures” in this Report for a discussion of tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net interest income before provisions for credit losses increased to $306.1 million compared with $301.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by our total cost of funds increasing relative to the increase in the interest income on interest-earnings assets due to higher interest rates.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by $42.0 million to $55.2 million, down from $97.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in noninterest income was due to a $28.2 million decrease in mortgage banking income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These results were impacted by increasing interest rates, compressing margins, and a decrease in demand for residential mortgages during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change also reflects the restructuring of our mortgage business (referred to herein as "Mortgage restructuring"), including the exit of our direct-to-consumer internet delivery channel during the second quarter of 2022. Refer to the section "Business segment highlights" for additional information on the restructuring of our Mortgage segment. Additionally contributing to the decrease in noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a $14.2 million net loss on investment securities primarily related to the sale of $76.6 million of available-for-sale securities. Refer to the section “Other earnings assets” for additional information on the sale of the available-for sale securities.

Noninterest expense decreased to $244.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $268.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in noninterest expense is reflective of the $25.8 million decrease in salaries, commissions and employee-related costs in the Mortgage segment related to the restructuring of our Mortgage segment and reduced headcount and mortgage production. The decrease was partially offset by a $6.2 million increase in early retirement and severance costs primarily associated with our efficiency and scalability initiatives and a $2.5 million in regulatory fees and assessments. Additionally, the decrease reflects $12.5 million in mortgage restructuring expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Business segment highlights

We operate our business in two business segments: Banking and Mortgage. See Note 11, “Segment reporting” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein for a description of these business segments.

Banking

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Income before taxes from the Banking segment decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $23.1 million, compared to $44.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. These results included a $10.5 million decrease in net interest income to $100.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $111.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The provision for credit losses on loans HFI and unfunded loan commitments decreased to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting a decrease in unfunded loan commitments in the construction and land development category by $774.5 million from September 30, 2022. The Banking segment recorded a noninterest loss of $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to noninterest income of $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This includes a net loss on investment securities of $14.2 million primarily associated with the sale of $76.6 million available-for-sale securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with a net loss on investment securities of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Noninterest expense increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $71.0 million from $65.9 million for three months ended September 30, 2022 due primarily to increases in salaries and early retirement and severance costs offset by a decrease in legal and professional fees.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022

Income before taxes from the Banking segment decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $115.9 million, compared to $130.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net interest income increased by $4.4 million to $306.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $301.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our provisions for credit losses on loans HFI and unfunded loan commitments resulted in $2.2 million of provision expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $19.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Noninterest income decreased to $18.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $33.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Similar to the discussion above, the decrease includes a net loss on investment securities of $14.2 million primarily associated with the sale of $76.6 million available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with a net loss on investment securities of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Noninterest expense increased to $207.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $184.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to increases in salaries, early retirement and severance costs, regulatory fees and assessments, occupancy, and marketing.

Mortgage

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

The Mortgage segment reported pre-tax income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a pre-tax loss of $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Noninterest income decreased by $0.2 million to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was related to a decrease in mortgage banking income. Further discussion related to the change in mortgage banking income is included under the subheading 'Noninterest income' included within this management's discussion and analysis. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $12.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively. This decrease is reflective of decreases in salaries, commissions, incentives and employee benefits due to a reduction in production volume.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022

Activity in our Mortgage segment resulted in a pre-tax net loss of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a pre-tax net loss of $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Mortgage banking income decreased $28.2 million to $36.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $64.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Further discussion on the components of mortgage banking income is included under the subheading 'Noninterest income' within this management's discussion and analysis. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $37.8 million and $83.3 million, respectively, This decrease is reflective of the mortgage restructuring expense mentioned above in addition to decreases in marketing, legal and professional fees, occupancy, salaries, commissions and incentive costs associated with the decrease in production volume and headcount reduction from the Mortgage restructuring.

Results of operations

Throughout the following discussion of our operating results, we present our net interest income, net interest margin and efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The fully tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income, which enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

The adjustment to convert certain income to a tax-equivalent basis consists of dividing tax-exempt income by one minus the combined federal and blended state statutory income tax rate of 26.06% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Net interest income

Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings, generally comprising over 50% of our total revenues in a given period. Net interest income and margin are shaped by many factors, primarily the volume, term structure and mix of earning assets, funding mechanisms, and interest rate fluctuations. Other factors include accretion or amortization of discounts or premiums on purchased loans, prepayment risk on mortgage and investment–related assets, and the composition and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loans typically generate more interest income than investment securities with similar maturities. Funding from client deposits generally costs less than wholesale funding sources. Factors such as general economic activity, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and price volatility of competing alternative investments, can also exert significant influence on our ability to optimize the mix of assets and funding, net interest income, and margin.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the US Treasury yield curve became less inverted as long-term note and bond rates increased at a faster pace than shorter-term note rates. The curve remained inverted as of September 30, 2023, which is in contrast to the more normalized upward sloping US Treasury yield curve during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Federal Funds Target Rate range was 5.25% - 5.50% and 3.00% - 3.25% as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income decreased to $101.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $112.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $174.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $129.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $45.5 million, which was primarily driven by increases in both interest rates and volume on loans HFI and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions, partially offset by an increase in our deposits.

Interest income on loans HFI, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $38.6 million to $153.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $114.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates with a secondary driver of increased volume. The tax-equivalent yield on loans held for investment was 6.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, up 138 basis points from the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our estimated contractual loan interest yield was 6.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with 4.79% in the three months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, average loans HFI increased to $9.28 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $8.81 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to strong demand in our primary markets and funding of prior loan commitments.

The components of our loan yield for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Origination and other loan fees impacted our NIM by 15 basis point and 23 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to higher interest rates and an increase in volume. The yield on interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased 345 basis points to 5.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 2.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, average interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased to $696.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $361.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest expense was $73.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $55.9 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The primary driver was increases in interest expense on money market, interest-bearing checking and customer time deposit products. Interest expense on money market deposits increased $30.2 million to $34.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense on interest-bearing checking deposit products increased $14.7 million to $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense on customer time deposits increased $9.4 million to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. These increases were most significantly influenced by increasing interest rates. The average rate on money market deposits increased 305 basis points from 0.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average rate on interest-bearing checking deposits increased 223 basis points from 0.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average rate on customer time deposits increased 250 basis points from 0.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits was 3.33% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 0.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As interest rates on deposits increase, we tend to experience some movement between deposit types as customers seek higher interest rates and shift from noninterest-bearing deposit accounts to interest-bearing deposit products.

The average balance on our FHLB advances decreased $315.3 million to $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $329.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a result, interest expense on subordinated debt decreased to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Overall, our NIM, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by the increase in both interest rates and volume of loans HFI and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds previously discussed.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022

On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income increased $4.6 million to $308.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $304.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $506.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $336.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $170.0 million, which was primarily driven by increases in both interest rates and volume on loans HFI, partially offset by an increase in our cost of deposits. Total interest income represents an increase in yield on interest-earning assets to 5.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with 3.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest income on loans HFI, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $147.3 million to $440.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $293.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due primarily to increasing interest rates; however, the change was also heavily influenced by an increase in volume of average loans HFI. The average yield on loans HFI increased by 158 basis points period-over-period to 6.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 4.73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our estimated contractual loan interest yield was 6.13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with 4.40% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, average loans HFI increased to $9.34 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $8.30 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in average loans HFI is due to strong demand in our primary markets and additional funding during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of commitments made in prior periods.

The components of our loan yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

(1) Includes tax equivalent adjustment using combined marginal tax rate of 26.06%.

Origination and other loan fees (including syndication fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022) impacted our NIM by 13 basis points and 23 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest expense was $197.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $165.4 million as compared to $32.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was largely attributed to a rise in interest rates in interest-bearing deposit accounts, and specifically on money market, interest-bearing checking and customer time deposit products. Interest expense on money market deposits increased $81.8 million to $89.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense on interest-bearing checking deposits increased $51.7 million to $63.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense on customer time deposits increased $26.1 million to $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The average rate on money market deposits increased 303 basis points from 0.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The average rate on interest-bearing checking deposits increased 237 basis points from 0.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 2.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The average rate on customer time deposits increased 230 basis points from 0.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 2.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 0.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Overall, our NIM, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by the increase in interest rates and volume of loans HFI, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds previously discussed. Additionally, there was a shift in our balance sheet

composition, including a decline in excess liquidity, which we define as interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions in excess of 5% of average tangible assets. Excess liquidity is estimated to have negatively impacted our NIM by approximately 2 basis point for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to approximately 13 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

   Provision for credit losses

The provision for credit losses charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level under the current expected credit loss model. The determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Refer to Note 1, "Basis of presentation" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a detailed discussion regarding ACL methodology.

Our allowance for credit losses calculation as of September 30, 2023 resulted from management’s best estimate of losses over the life of loans and unfunded commitments in our portfolio in accordance with the CECL approach. Our calculation considered impacts of projected slower GDP growth over the next two years, expected elevated unemployment levels, and potentially more interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve. We also considered the current global economic environment, including continued pressures on supply chains (and more specifically, oil and energy) and increased uncertainty due primarily to inflation surrounding the potential impact and hardship on the U.S. economy. The evaluations above include considered projections that the economy may be nearing a recession. These factors may continue to lead to increased volatility in forecasted macroeconomic variables, a key input to our calculated level of allowance for credit losses.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

We recognized a provision for credit losses on loans HFI of $6.0 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in our provision for credit losses on loans HFI during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was a result of decreased loan growth and the factors discussed above compared to the strong loan growth used for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in our provision for credit losses on loans HFI due to a single commercial and industrial relationship moving to nonaccrual status during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

We also estimate expected credit losses on off-balance sheet loan commitments that are not accounted for as derivatives. When applying the CECL methodology to estimate expected credit loss, we consider the likelihood that funding will occur, the contractual period of exposure to credit loss, the risk of loss, historical loss experience, and current conditions along with expectations of future economic conditions. We recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $3.2 million and a provision expense of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The credit is due to a $59.5 million decrease in our unfunded commitments during the three months ended September 30, 2023, including a $220.8 million decrease in our construction category.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, it was determined that all available-for-sale debt securities that experienced a decline in fair value below amortized were due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, there was no provision for credit losses recognized on available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

We recognized a provision for credit losses on loans HFI for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $13.6 million. This compares to a provision for credit losses on loans HFI of $10.2 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The current period provision on loans HFI resulted from management’s best estimate of losses over the life of loans in our portfolio in accordance with the CECL approach driven by a single commercial and industrial relationship moving to nonaccrual status and the deteriorating economic forecasts as discussed in further detail above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the modest increase in the provision for credit losses on loans HFI was driven by an increase in loans HFI outstanding period-over-period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $11.4 million compared to provision expense of $9.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments is primarily due to our intentional decrease in unfunded loan commitments from December 31, 2022, including a $716.8 million decrease in our construction category and $51.3 million decrease in the non-owner occupied commercial real estate category.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, it was determined that all available-for-sale debt securities that experienced a decline in fair value below amortized were due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, there was no provision for credit losses recognized on available-for-sale debt securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Total noninterest income$8,042$22,592$55,204$97,198

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Noninterest income amounted to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $14.6 million, or 64.4%, as compared to $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

Mortgage banking income primarily includes origination fees and realized gains and losses on the sale of mortgage loans, unrealized change in fair value of mortgage loans and derivatives, and mortgage servicing fees, which includes net change in fair value of MSRs and related derivatives. Mortgage banking income is initially driven by the recognition of interest rate lock commitments at fair value at inception of the IRLCs. This is subsequently adjusted for changes in the overall interest rate environment offset by derivative contracts entered into to mitigate the interest rate exposure. Upon sale of the loan, the net fair value gain is reclassified as a realized gain on sale.

Mortgage banking income was $12.0 million and $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease includes a decrease from gains on sale and related fair value changes of $0.3 million to $8.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This was impacted by the reduction in interest rate lock volume of $35.8 million, or 8.76%, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 over the same period in the previous year. In addition to being impacted by the interest rate environment and depressed consumer demand.

Net loss from investment securities was $14.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net loss from investment securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily the result of management's election to sell $76.6 million of available-for-sale securities to reinvest the proceeds of the sale into higher yielding available-for-sale securities. Refer to the section “Other earnings assets” for additional information on the sale of the available-for sale securities.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

Noninterest income amounted to $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $42.0 million, or 43.2%, as compared to $97.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

Mortgage banking income was $36.3 million and $64.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing a $28.2 million decrease, or 43.7% year-over-year. The total decrease includes a reduction in income from gains on sale and related fair value changes, which decreased to $25.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $46.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This change was caused by a decrease in interest rate lock volume of $1.27 billion, or 52.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition to being impacted by the interest rate environment, affordability constraints and a decline in consumer demand, this decrease also reflects the impact of the Mortgage restructuring and discontinuance of our direct-to-consumer internet delivery channel during the second quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, direct-to-consumer comprised 27.4% our total interest rate lock volume and 37.6% of our sales volume, respectively.

ATM and interchange fees decreased $5.4 million to $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the expiration of our temporary exemption from the Durbin amendment during the second half of 2022. The Durbin amendment limits the amount of interchange transaction fees that banks with asset sizes greater than $10 billion are permitted to charge retailers for debit card processing. Interchange fee income varies with size and volume of transactions, which can fluctuate with seasonality, consumer spending habits and economic conditions. While our volume of interchange transactions increased approximately 7.00% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the previous year, interchange fee income declined by 43.1%, the majority of which related to the application of the fee cap imposed by the Durbin amendment impacting the current period.

Net loss from investment securities was $14.2 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The net loss from investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily the result of management's election to sell $76.6 million of available-for-sale securities to reinvest the proceeds of the sale into higher yielding available-for-sale securities. Refer to the section “Other earnings assets” for additional information on the sale of the available-for sale securities.

Other income increased $3.1 million to $7.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is primarily related to a $0.9 million gain associated with the change in fair value of the commercial loans held for sale portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a $2.6 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additional information on our commercial loans held for sale portfolio is included under the subheading 'Loans held for sale' within this management's discussion and analysis.

Noninterest expense

The following table sets forth the components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Noninterest expense increased by $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $83.0 million as compared to $81.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. Changes in selected components of noninterest expense in the above table are discussed below.

Salaries, commissions and employee benefits expense was the largest component of noninterest expense representing 65.7% and 62.3% of total noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $3.5 million, or 6.79%, to $54.5 million as compared to $51.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was mainly driven by $4.8 million in early retirement and severance costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which includes the acceleration in vesting of certain equity grants. The increase is partially offset by decreases in incentive and commission-based compensation during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was driven by the decrease in mortgage production volume and decline in profitability during the period.

Legal and professional expense includes expenses related to legal, consulting, external audit and tax advisory services, compliance, and other professional licenses and fees. Legal and professional expense decreased by $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $1.8 million as compared to $4.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in legal and professional expenses was due to decreases in consulting, legal, and other fees as these were temporarily increased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the acceleration of some of our internal projects.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

Noninterest expense decreased by $23.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $244.7 million as compared to $268.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Changes in selected components of noninterest expense in the above table are discussed below.

Salaries, commissions and employee benefits expense was the largest component of noninterest expense representing 63.5% and 61.8% of total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $10.4 million, or 6.25%, to $155.3 million as compared to $165.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was attributable to a $10.0 million decrease in salaries in the Mortgage segment due to the Mortgage restructuring. Additionally, the decrease was attributable to a $10.7 million decrease in incentive and commission-based compensation

during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was driven by the decrease in mortgage production volume and decline in profitability during the period. The decrease was partially offset by a $6.2 million increase in early retirement and severance costs primarily associated with our efficiency and scalability initiatives.

Legal and professional expense decreased by $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $7.1 million as compared to $10.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As discussed above, the decrease in legal and professional expenses was due to decreases in consulting, legal, and other fees as these were temporarily increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the acceleration of some of our internal projects.

Advertising expense includes expenses related to sponsorships, advertising, marketing, customer relations and business development and public relations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, advertising expense decreased $1.9 million to $6.3 million compared to $8.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease is primarily attributable to realigning our expenses after the Mortgage restructuring to reflect the decrease in production.

Mortgage restructuring expense of $12.5 million was reported during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the exit from our direct-to-consumer internet delivery channel. These expenses primarily include $10.0 million related to salaries, commissions and employee benefits expense, including the acceleration of vesting on restricted stock units. Other components of this expense includes $1.1 million related to software license and maintenance fees, $0.4 million impairment of our operating lease right-of-use assets, and $0.9 million loss on disposal of fixed assets.

Other noninterest expense primarily includes mortgage servicing expenses, regulatory fees and deposit insurance assessments, software license and maintenance fees and various other miscellaneous expenses. Other noninterest expense increased $4.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $47.9 million compared to $43.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase includes a $2.5 million increase in regulatory fees and assessments.

Efficiency ratio

The efficiency ratio is one measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For an adjusted efficiency ratio, we exclude certain gains, losses and expenses we do not consider core to our business.

Our efficiency ratio was 76.2% and 67.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 61.1% and 67.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Our adjusted efficiency ratio, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 63.1% and 63.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and 60.7% and 63.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. See “GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures” in this Report for a discussion of the adjusted efficiency ratio.

Income taxes

Income tax expense was $4.0 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $23.5 million and $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This represents effective tax rates of 17.2% and 21.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 20.6% and 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The primary differences from the enacted rates are applicable state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible reduced for non-taxable income and additional deductions for equity-based compensation upon vesting of restricted stock units. State taxes, net of federal benefits, decreased our effective tax rate by 2.00% and increased our effective tax rate by 2.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and increased our effective tax rate by 0.40% and 3.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our loans HFI portfolio is our most significant earning asset, comprising 74.4% and 72.4% of our total assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our strategy is to grow our loan portfolio by originating quality commercial and consumer loans that comply with our credit policies and that produce revenues consistent with our financial objectives. Our overall lending approach is primarily focused on providing credit to our customers directly in the markets we serve, but we are also party to loan syndications and participations from other banks (collectively, “participated loans”). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, loans held for investment included approximately $285.0 million and $280.5 million, respectively, related to participated loans. We also sell loan participations to unaffiliated third parties as part of our credit risk management and balance sheet management strategy. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we sold $14.5 million and $29.4 million loan participations, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we sold $30.8 million and $37.0 million loan participations, respectively. All loans, whether or not we act as a participant, are underwritten to the same standards as all other loans we originate. We believe our loan portfolio is well-balanced, which provides us with the opportunity to grow while monitoring our loan concentrations.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Our lending activity is heavily concentrated in the geographic market areas we serve, with highest concentration in Tennessee. This geographic concentration subjects our loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within the state. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on loans HFI. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than our exposure to Tennessee and the categories of loans disclosed in the table above. We believe our loan portfolio is diversified relative to industry concentrations across the various loan portfolio categories.

Banking regulators have established guidelines of less than 100% of tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses in construction lending and less than 300% of tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses in commercial real estate lending that management monitors as part of the risk management process. The construction concentration ratio is a percentage of the outstanding construction and land development loans to total tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses. The commercial real estate concentration ratio is a percentage of the outstanding balance of non-owner occupied commercial

real estate, multifamily, and construction and land development loans to tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses. Management strives to operate within the thresholds set forth above.

When our ratios are in excess of one or both of these guidelines, banking regulators generally require an increased level of monitoring in these lending areas by management. The table below shows concentration ratios for the Bank and Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

  • Loan categories:The principal categories of our loans held for investment portfolio are discussed below:
  • Commercial and industrial loans. We provide a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial and industrial loans. Our commercial and industrial loans are typically made to small and medium-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital and operating needs and business expansions, including the purchase of capital equipment and loans made to farmers relating to their operations. This category also includes loans secured by manufactured housing receivables. Commercial and industrial loans generally include lines of credit and loans with maturities of five years or less. Commercial and industrial loans are generally made with operating cash flows as the primary source of repayment, but may also include collateralization by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and personal guarantees.
  • Construction loans. Our construction loans include commercial construction, land acquisition and land development loans and single-family interim construction loans to small- and medium-sized businesses and individuals. These loans are generally secured by the land or the real property being built and are made based on our assessment of the value of the property on an as-completed basis. These loans can carry risk of repayment when projects incur cost overruns, have an increase in the price of building materials, encounter zoning and environmental issues, or encounter other factors that may affect the completion of a project on time and on budget. Additionally, repayment risk may be negatively impacted when the market experiences a deterioration in the value of real estate.
  • 1-4 family mortgage loans. Our residential real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans are primarily made with respect to and secured by single family homes, including manufactured homes with real estate, which are both owner-occupied and investor owned. Our future origination volume could be impacted by any deterioration of housing values in our markets and increased unemployment or underemployment.
  • Residential line of credit loans. Our residential line of credit loans are primarily revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential properties. We intend to continue to make residential line of credit loans if housing values in our markets do not deteriorate from current prevailing levels and we are able to make such loans consistent with our current credit and underwriting standards. Residential line of credit loans may also be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate.
  • Multi-family residential loans. Our multi-family residential loans are primarily secured by multi-family properties, such as apartments and condominium buildings. The value of these loans may be affected by unemployment or underemployment, and market values of real estate among other factors.
  • Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans. Our commercial real estate owner-occupied loans include loans to finance commercial real estate owner occupied properties for various purposes including use as offices, warehouses, production facilities, health care facilities, retail centers, restaurants, churches and agricultural based facilities. Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans are typically repaid through the ongoing business operations of the borrower, and hence are dependent on the success of the underlying business for repayment and are more exposed to general economic conditions.
  • Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans. Our commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans include loans to finance commercial real estate non-owner occupied investment properties for various purposes including use as offices, warehouses, health care facilities, hotels, mixed-use residential/commercial, manufactured housing communities, retail centers, multifamily properties, assisted living facilities and agricultural based facilities. Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans are typically repaid with the funds received from the sale of the completed property or rental proceeds from such property, and are therefore more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market, which can also be affected by general economic conditions.
  • Consumer and other loans. Consumer and other loans include consumer loans made to individuals for personal, family and household purposes, including car, boat, manufactured homes (without real estate) and other recreational vehicle loans and personal lines of credit. These loans are generally secured by vehicles, manufactured homes, and other household goods. The collateral securing consumer loans may depreciate over time. We seek to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards. Other loans also include loans to states and political subdivisions in the U.S.

As part of our lending policy and risk management activities, the Company tracks lending exposure of commercial and industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate by industry classification (as defined by the North American Industry Classification System) and type to determine potential risks associated with industry concentrations, and if any risk issues could lead to additional credit loss exposure. The table below provides a summary of our commercial and industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate portfolios by industry classification.

Loan maturity and sensitivities

The following table presents the contractual maturities of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2023. Loans with scheduled maturities are reported in the maturity category in which the payment is due. Demand loans with no stated maturity and overdrafts are reported in the “due in 1 year or less” category. Loans that have adjustable rates are shown as amortizing to final maturity rather than when the interest rates are next subject to change. The tables do not include prepayment assumptions or scheduled repayments.

Asset quality

In order to operate with a sound risk profile, we focus on originating loans that we believe to be of high quality. We have established loan approval policies and procedures to assist us in maintaining the overall quality of our loan portfolio. When delinquencies in our loans exist, we rigorously monitor the levels of such delinquencies for any negative or adverse trends. From time to time, we may modify loans to extend the term or make other concessions, including extensions or interest rate modifications, to help a borrower with a deteriorating financial condition stay current on their loan and to avoid foreclosure. Furthermore, we are committed to collecting on all of our loans. This practice leads to higher recoveries in the long-term.

Nonperforming assets

Our nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and other repossessed non-earning assets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $88.7 million and $87.5 million, respectively, in nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped, as well as loans that are contractually 90 days past due on which interest continues to accrue. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the payment of principal or interest has been contractually 90 days past due, unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. In our loan review process, we seek to identify and proactively address nonperforming loans. Accrued interest receivable written off as an adjustment to interest income amounted to $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, we had net interest recoveries on nonperforming assets previously charged off of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Nonperforming loans HFI increased $8.7 million to $54.5 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to $45.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to a single commercial and industrial relationship moving to nonaccrual status.

In addition to loans HFI, we also include loans HFS that have stopped accruing interest or become 90 days or more past due. Our nonperforming commercial loans HFS represent a pool of acquired commercial loans. These loans amounted to $9.3 million as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $22.1 million and $26.2 million, respectively, of delinquent GNMA loans previously sold included on our consolidated balance sheets in loans held for sale. These are considered nonperforming assets as we do not earn any interest on the unexercised option to repurchase these loans.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other real estate owned included $0.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of excess land and facilities held for sale resulting from our prior acquisitions. Other nonperforming assets also included other repossessed non-real estate amounting to $1.3 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The following table provides details of our nonperforming assets, the ratio of such loans and other nonperforming assets to total assets, and certain other related information as of the dates presented:

We have evaluated our loans HFI classified as nonperforming and believe all nonperforming loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for credit losses on loans HFI as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Management also continually monitors past due loans for potential credit quality deterioration. Loans not considered nonperforming include loans 30-89 days past due that continue to accrue interest amounting to $40.8 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to $31.3 million at December 31, 2022.

Allowance for credit losses

We calculate our expected credit loss using a lifetime loss rate methodology. We utilize probability-weighted forecasts, which consider multiple macroeconomic variables from Moody's that are applicable to the type of loan. Each of our loss rate models incorporate forward-looking macroeconomic projections throughout the reasonable and supportable forecast period and the subsequent historical reversion at the macroeconomic variable input level. In order to estimate the life of a loan, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments based on market information and our prepayment history.

The allowance for credit losses represents the portion of the loan's amortized cost basis that we do not expect to collect due to credit losses over the loan's life, considering past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable

forecasts of future economic conditions considering macroeconomic forecasts. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for credit losses is based on the loan's amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest receivable, as we promptly charge off accrued interest receivable determined to be uncollectible. We determine the appropriateness of the allowance through periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio, lending-related commitments and other relevant factors, including macroeconomic forecasts and historical loss rates. See "Critical Accounting Estimates- Allowance for credit losses" within management's discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K and Note 3 “Loans and allowance for credit losses on loans HFI“ in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information regarding our methodology.

The allowance for credit losses on loans HFI was $146.1 million and $134.2 million and represented 1.57% and 1.44% of loans held for investment as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or 0.02% of average loans HFI, compared to net recoveries of $15 thousand, or 0.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced net charge-offs of $1.7 million, or 0.02% of average loans HFI, compared to net charge-offs of $1.3 million, or 0.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our ratio of total nonperforming loans HFI as a percentage of total loans HFI increased by 10 basis points to 0.59% as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to a single commercial and industrial relationship moving to nonaccrual status.

The primary reason for the increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans HFI is due to a worsening economic outlook that was incorporated into our macroeconomic forecast as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. Specifically, we performed evaluations within our established qualitative framework, assessing the impact continued actions taken by the Federal Reserve with regard to monetary policy, interest rates and the potential impact of those actions, potential impact of persistent high inflation on economic growth, failures of several U.S. banks in the first half of 2023, potential negative economic forecasts, and other considerations. In addition, approximately 26% of the dollar increase in allowance for credit losses on loans HFI during the period was due to a single commercial and industrial relationship moving to nonaccrual status. As a ratio of ACL to loans HFI by loan type, our commercial and industrial, HELOC and consumer and other portfolios incurred the largest increases period-over-period. These portfolios are heavily reliant on the strength of the economy; and therefore, they are adversely affected by inflation and high interest rates.

We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, which decreased to $11.6 million as of September 30, 2023 from $23.0 million as of December 31, 2022 due to a 12.4% or $440.0 million decrease in unfunded loan commitments during the period. Notably, there was a $716.8 million decrease in unfunded loan commitments in our construction loan category pipeline which resulted in an $11.4 million decrease in required ACL related to unfunded commitments. Our unfunded commitments in our construction loan category decreased as a result of management's concentrated effort over the last few quarters to reduce commitments in specific categories judged to be inherently higher risk considering the current and projected economic conditions. Partially offsetting the decrease in unfunded loan commitments in our construction portfolio was a $283.3 million increase in unfunded loan commitments for commercial and industrial loans compared to December 31, 2022.

Loans held for sale

Commercial loans held for sale

Our loans held for sale includes a previously acquired portfolio of commercial loans. The loans had a fair value of $9.3 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to $30.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The change is primarily attributable to loans within the portfolio being paid off through external refinancing and pay-downs.

This decrease also includes gains recognized on the change in fair value of the portfolio which is included in 'other noninterest income' on the consolidated statement of income of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to losses of $0.4 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The loss recognized on the change in fair value of the portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was not meaningful.

Mortgage loans held for sale

Mortgage loans held for sale consisted of $72.5 million of residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third party private investors or government sponsored agencies and $22.1 million of GNMA optional repurchase loans. This compares to $82.8 million of residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third parties and $26.2 million of GNMA optional repurchase loans as of December 31, 2022.

Generally, mortgage volume decreases in rising interest rate environments and slower housing markets and increases in lower interest rate environments and robust housing markets. Interest rate lock volume for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled $373.1 million and $408.9 million, respectively, and $1.15 billion and $2.42 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in interest rate lock volume during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflects the slow down experienced across the industry compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which benefited from lower interest rates relative to the rising rates experienced during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease noted for the year-over-year nine months ended periods also reflects the exit from our direct-to-consumer internet delivery channel completed during 2022. Interest rate lock volume within our direct-to-consumer internet delivery channel for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $663.8 million. Interest rate lock commitments in the pipeline were $112.8 million as of September 30, 2023 compared with $118.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

Mortgage loans in the process of being sold are sold either on a “best efforts” basis or under a mandatory delivery sales agreement. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, residential real estate originations are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors or directly with government sponsored agencies, and we are obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. The risk we assume is conditioned upon loan underwriting and market conditions in the national mortgage market. Under a mandatory delivery sales agreement, we commit to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor if we fail to satisfy the contract. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These loans are typically sold within fifteen to twenty-five days after the loan is funded, depending on the economic environment and competition in the market. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market.

Other earning assets

Securities purchased under agreements to resell ("reverse repurchase agreements")

We enter into agreements with certain customers to purchase investment securities under agreements to resell at specific dates in the future. This investment deploys some of our liquidity position into an instrument that improves the return on those funds. Securities purchased under agreements to resell totaled $47.1 million and $75.4 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Federal Funds Sold

Federal funds may fluctuate from period to period depending upon our liquidity position at the time and our strategy for deploying liquidity. Federal funds sold totaled $82.8 million and $135.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Available-for-sale debt securities portfolio

Our investment portfolio objectives include maximizing total return after other primary objectives are achieved such as, but not limited to, providing liquidity, capital preservation, and pledging collateral for various lines of credit and other borrowings. The investment objectives guide the portfolio allocation among security types, maturities, and other attributes.

The fair value of our available-for-sale debt securities portfolio was $1.35 billion and $1.47 billion as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Included in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities were net unrealized losses of $265.0 million and $234.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Current net unrealized losses are due to interest rate increases.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold $76.6 million of available-for-sale debt securities with a weighted average yield of 1.36%. The sales contributed to a pre-tax loss on securities of $14.2 million. We primarily sold collateralized mortgage obligation and U.S. government agency securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased $92.9 million and $93.8 million of available-for-sale debt securities, respectively. We reinvested the proceeds from the sales primarily into U.S. government agency available-for-sale debt securities with a

weighted average yield of 6.43%. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, maturities and calls of securities totaled $33.0 million and $91.4 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold $1.2 million of available-for-sale debt securities. There were no available-for-sale debt securities sold during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased $0.9 million and $242.6 million of available-for-sale debt securities, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, maturities and calls of securities totaled $44.4 million and $170.7 million, respectively.

Equity Securities

We had $2.9 million and $3.0 million in marketable equity securities recorded at fair value that primarily consisted of mutual funds as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the change in the fair value of equity securities resulted in a net loss of $97 thousand and $141 thousand, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the change in the fair value of equity securities resulted in net losses of $56 thousand and $405 thousand, respectively.

Deposits

Deposits represent the Bank’s primary source of funding. We continue to focus on growing core customer deposits through our relationship driven banking philosophy, community-focused marketing programs, and initiatives such as the development of our treasury management services.

Total deposits were $10.64 billion and $10.86 billion as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Noninterest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $2.36 billion and $2.68 billion, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits were $8.28 billion and $8.18 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits of $318.2 million from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 is attributable to migration to interest-yielding products such as money market and savings deposits, which increased by $422.1 million from December 31, 2022. Also included in noninterest-bearing deposits are certain mortgage escrow deposits from our third-party mortgage servicing provider, which amounted to $122.6 million and $75.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Interest-bearing checking deposits decreased by $505.3 million from December 31, 2022 due largely to decreases in our deposits from municipal and governmental entities, also known as public funds, which decreased by $454.7 million during the period. The decline in public funds was primarily seasonal.

Additionally, brokered and internet time deposits increased by $173.7 million to $175.5 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, which was a result of our balance sheet and liquidity management strategy, which included purchasing brokered time deposits in order to increase the liquidity of our balance sheet and lower our cost of funding.

As a result of the rising interest rate environment and the shift in our deposit composition, we have experienced an increase in our cost of interest-bearing deposits and total cost of deposits. Average deposit balances by type, together with the average rates per period are reflected in the average balance sheet amounts, interest paid, and rate analysis tables included in this management's discussion and analysis under the subheading "Results of operations" discussion.

We utilize designated fair value hedges to mitigate interest rate exposure associated with certain fixed-rate money market deposits. The aggregate fair value of these hedges included in the carrying amount of total money market deposits as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $6.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Our deposit base also includes certain commercial and high net worth individuals that periodically place deposits with the Bank for short periods of time and can cause fluctuations from period to period in the overall level of customer deposits outstanding. These fluctuations may include certain deposits from related parties as disclosed within Note 14, "Related party transactions" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Borrowed funds

Deposits and investment securities available-for-sale are the primary source of funds for our lending activities and general business purposes. However, we may also obtain advances from the FHLB, purchase federal funds and engage in overnight borrowing from the Federal Reserve, correspondent banks, or enter into client repurchase agreements. We also use these sources of funds as part of our asset liability management process to control our long-term interest rate risk exposure, even if it may increase our short-term cost of funds.

Our level of short-term borrowing can fluctuate on a daily basis depending on funding needs and the source of funds to satisfy those needs, in addition to the overall interest rate environment and cost of public funds.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased

We enter into agreements with certain customers to sell certain securities under agreements to repurchase the security the following day. These agreements are made to provide customers with comprehensive treasury management programs as a short-term return for their excess funds. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $19.7 million and $21.9 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

We also maintain lines with certain correspondent banks that provide borrowing capacity in the form of federal funds purchased. Federal funds purchased are short-term borrowings that typically mature within one to ninety days. Borrowings against these lines (i.e., federal funds purchased) totaled $55.0 million and $65.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

FHLB short-term borrowings

As a member of the FHLB system, we may utilize advances from the FHLB in order to provide additional liquidity and funding. Under these short-term agreements, we maintain a line of credit that as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 had total borrowing capacity of $1.59 billion and $1.27 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had qualifying loans pledged as collateral securing these lines amounting to $2.73 billion and $2.67 billion, respectively. Overnight cash advances against this line totaled $175.0 million as of December 31, 2022. There were no such advances outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

Subordinated debt

During the year-ended December 31, 2003, we formed two separate trusts which issued $9.0 million (“Trust I”) and $21.0 million (“Trust II”) of floating rate trust preferred securities as part of a pooled offering of such securities. We issued junior subordinated debentures of $9.3 million, which included proceeds of common securities which we purchased for $0.3 million, and junior subordinated debentures of $21.7 million which included proceeds of common securities of $0.7 million. The Trusts were created for the sole purpose of issuing 30-year capital trust preferred securities to fund the purchase of junior subordinated debentures issued by us. Both issuances were to the trusts in exchange for the proceeds of the securities offerings, which represent the sole asset of the trusts.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we placed $100.0 million of ten year fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, maturing September 1, 2030. We mitigate our interest rate exposure associated with these notes through the use of fair value hedging instruments. See Note 9, "Derivatives" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional details related to these instruments.

Other borrowings

Other borrowings on our consolidated balance sheets includes our finance lease liability totaling $1.3 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, other borrowings on our consolidated balance sheets include guaranteed rebooked GNMA loans previously sold that have become past due over 90 days and are eligible for repurchase totaling $22.1 million and $26.2 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. See Note 5, "Leases" and Note 10, "Fair value of financial instruments" within the Notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements herein for additional information regarding our finance lease and guaranteed GNMA loans eligible for repurchase, respectively.

Liquidity and capital resources

We are expected to maintain adequate liquidity at the Bank to meet the cash flow requirements of clients who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Our Liquidity Policy is intended to cause the Bank to maintain adequate liquidity and, therefore, enhance our ability to raise funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals and lending needs and otherwise sustain our operations. We accomplish this through management of the maturities of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We believe that our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs.

We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all of our short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of clients, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to optimize our net interest margin. We also monitor our liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy and the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of the investment and loan portfolios and deposits.

As part of our liquidity management strategy, we focus on minimizing our costs of liquidity and attempt to decrease these costs by growing our noninterest-bearing and other low-cost deposits, while replacing higher cost funding sources. While we do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, we do influence those choices with the rates and the deposit specials we offer. Increasing interest rates generally attracts customers to higher cost interest-bearing deposit products as they seek to maximize their yield.

Our investment portfolio is another alternative for meeting liquidity needs. These assets generally have readily available markets that offer conversions to cash as needed. Available-for-sale debt securities within our investment portfolio are used to secure government, public, trust and other deposits and as collateral for short-term borrowings, letters of credit and derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had pledged securities related to these items with carrying values of $853.6 million and $1.19 billion, respectively.

Additional sources of liquidity include federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, FHLB borrowings, and lines of credit. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased, reverse repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. Overnight advances obtained from the FHLB are used primarily to meet day to day liquidity needs, particularly when the cost of such borrowing compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay to attract deposits. As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding overnight cash advances from the FHLB totaling $175.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, there were no outstanding overnight cash advances from the FHLB. As of September 30, 2023, there was $1.59 billion available to borrow against with a remaining capacity of $1.01 billion. As of December 31, 2022, there was $1.27 billion available to borrow against with a remaining capacity of $830.0 million.

We also maintained unsecured lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling $350.0 million as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These are unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit typically maturing at various times within the next twelve months. Borrowings against these lines (i.e., federal funds purchased) totaled $55.0 million and $65.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we also had $50.0 million available through the IntraFi network, which allows us to offer banking customers access to FDIC insurance protection on deposits through our Bank which exceed FDIC insurance limits.

(2) Amounts are shown on a fully consolidated basis and exclude deposits of affiliates that are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also maintains the ability to access capital markets to meet its liquidity needs. The Company has an active shelf registration statement filed with the SEC which allows it to raise capital in various forms, including through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, rights, warrants and units. Specific terms and prices would be determined at the time of any such offering. In the past, the Company has utilized capital markets to generate liquidity in the form of common stock and subordinated debt primarily for the purpose of funding acquisitions.

The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid by the Bank to the Company. Statutory and regulatory limitations exist that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term cash obligations. For additional information regarding dividend restrictions, see the “Item 1. Business - Supervision and regulation”, "Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks related to our business" and "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Dividend Policy", each of which is set forth in our Annual Report.

Due to state banking laws, the Bank may not declare dividends in any calendar year in an amount exceeding the total of its net income for that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years, without the prior approval of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. Based upon this regulation, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $196.9 million and $161.3 million of the Bank’s retained earnings were available for the payment of dividends without such prior approval. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were $8.5 million and $40.5 million in cash dividends approved by the board for payment from the Bank to the holding company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were $7.3 million and $41.8 million in cash dividends approved by the board for payment from the Bank to the holding company. None of these required approval from the TDFI. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the board approved a dividend from the Bank to the holding company to be paid in the third quarter for $8.5 million that also did not require approval from the TDFI.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared shareholder dividends of $0.15 per share, or $7.1 million and $0.45 per share, or $21.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company declared shareholder dividends of $0.13 per share, or $6.1 million and $0.39 per share, or $18.5 million, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.15 per share, payable on November 21, 2023, to stockholders of record as of November 7, 2023.

Shareholders’ equity and capital management

Our total shareholders’ equity was $1.37 billion as of September 30, 2023 and $1.33 billion as of December 31, 2022. Book value per common share was $29.31 as of September 30, 2023 and $28.36 as of December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to an increase in retained net income, net of dividend declarations. The increase in shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2023 was partially off-set by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $23.0 million related to unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities portfolio and by dividends declared of $21.3 million.

Our capital management consists of providing adequate equity to support our current and future operations. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies, including the TDFI, Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may prompt certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have issued guidelines governing the levels of capital that banks must maintain. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we met all capital adequacy requirements for which we were subject. See additional discussion regarding our capital adequacy and ratios at within Note 12, "Minimum capital requirements" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained herein.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate sensitivity

Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. Management believes that our ability to successfully respond to changes in interest rates will have a significant impact on our financial results. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate risk exposure.

The Asset Liability Management Committee, which is authorized by our board of directors, monitors our interest rate sensitivity and makes decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.

We monitor the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and economic value of equity using rate shock analysis. Net interest income simulations measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time. A decrease in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in affect over the life of the current balance sheet. For purposes of calculating EVE, a zero percent floor is assumed on discount factors.

The following analysis depicts the estimated impact on net interest income and EVE of immediate changes in interest rates at the specified levels for the periods presented:

Change in interest rates(in basis points)Percentage change in: · Net interest income (1)September 30, 2023Percentage change in: · Net interest income (1)December 31, 2022
+40018.1%20.6%
+30013.7%15.1%
+2009.18%10.8%
+1004.67%5.98%
-100(4.93)%(6.32)%
-200(10.6)%(13.2)%
Change in interest rates(in basis points)Percentage change in: · Economic value of equity (2)September 30, 2023Percentage change in: · Economic value of equity (2)December 31, 2022
+400(8.90)%(9.90)%
+300(7.86)%(7.00)%
+200(4.52)%(4.00)%
+100(1.74)%(1.66)%
-1000.20%0.99%
-200(1.38)%1.07%

(1) The percentage change represents the projected net interest income for 12 months on a flat balance sheet in a stable interest rate environment versus the projected net interest income in the various rate scenarios.

(2) The percentage change in this column represents our EVE in a stable interest rate environment versus EVE in the various rate scenarios.

The results for the net interest income simulations as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 resulted in an asset sensitive position. The primary influence of our asset sensitivity is the floating rate structure in many of our loans held for investment as well as the composition of our liabilities which is primarily customer deposits. Our variable rate loan portfolio is indexed to market rates and timing of repricing of loans and deposits varies in proportion to market rate fluctuations. We actively monitor and perform stress tests on our deposit beta's as part of our overall management of interest rate risk. This requires the use of various assumptions based on historical relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion. Since these correlations are based on competitive pricing in the market, we anticipate that our future results will likely be different from the scenario results presented above and such differences could be material.

The preceding measures assume no change in the size or asset/liability compositions of the balance sheet. Thus, the measures do not reflect the actions the ALCO may undertake in response to such changes in interest rates. The scenarios assume instantaneous movements in interest rates in increments of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. As interest rates are adjusted over a period of time, it is our strategy to proactively change the volume and mix of our balance sheet in order to mitigate our interest rate risk. The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions regarding characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing positions. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. Key assumptions employed in the model include asset prepayment speeds, competitive factors, the relative price sensitivity of certain assets and liabilities and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results may differ from simulated results.

We may utilize derivative financial instruments as part of an ongoing effort to mitigate interest rate risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations and facilitate the needs of our customers. For more information about our derivative financial instruments, see Note 9, “Derivatives” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II

ITEM 1—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various legal proceedings to which we or our subsidiaries are party arise from time to time in the normal course of business. As of the date of this Report, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which any of our or our subsidiaries’ properties are subject.

ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS

The following risk factor supplements and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023.

Failure to address the federal debt ceiling in a timely manner, downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and uncertain credit and financial market conditions may affect the stability of securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government, which may adversely affect the valuation or liquidity of our investment securities portfolio and increase future borrowing costs.

As a result of uncertain political, credit and financial market conditions, including the potential consequences of the federal government defaulting on its obligations for a period of time due to federal debt ceiling limitations or other unresolved political issues, investments in financial instruments issued or guaranteed by the federal government pose credit default and liquidity risks. Downgrades to the U.S. credit rating could affect the stability of securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government and the valuation or liquidity of our portfolio of such investment securities, and could result in our counterparties requiring additional collateral for our borrowings. Further, unless and until U.S. political, credit and financial market conditions have been sufficiently resolved or stabilized, it may increase our future borrowing costs.

ITEM 2—UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 14, 2022, the Company announced the board of directors’ authorization of a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $100 million in shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The purchase authorizations granted under the new repurchase plan will terminate either on the date on which the maximum dollar amount is repurchased under the new repurchase plan or on January 31, 2024, whichever date occurs earlier. This repurchase plan will be conducted pursuant to a written plan and is intended to comply with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company did not complete any share repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The dollar value of shares that may yet be repurchased under the program was $61,249,538 as of September 30, 2023.

ITEM 5 — OTHER INFORMATION

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers adopted, modified, or terminated any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
