CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our anticipated financial and operating results, the transaction with FB Financial Corporation, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect our management’s current assumptions, beliefs, and expectations. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “hope,” “pursue,” “seek,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. While we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statement we make. Some of the relevant risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this report are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2020, and in this Form 10-Q. We caution readers that these discussions of important risks and uncertainties are not exclusive, and our business may be subject to other risks and uncertainties which are not detailed there. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We make forward-looking statements as of the date on which this Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC, and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements after the date hereof whether as a result of new information or events, changed circumstances, or otherwise, except as required by law.

There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:

•the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the proposed merger with FB Financial Corporation may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized;

•disruption from the proposed merger with customer, supplier, or employee relationships;

•the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement with FB Financial Corporation;

•the possibility that the costs, fees, expenses, and charges related to the proposed merger with FB Financial Corporation may be greater than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected or unknown factors, events, or liabilities;

•the failure of the conditions to the proposed merger to be satisfied;

•the risks related to the integration of the combined businesses (as well as FB Financial Corporation’s acquisition of FNB Financial Corp completed February 14, 2020, and any future acquisitions), including the risk that the integration will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected;

•the diversion of management time on merger-related issues;

•the ability of FB Financial Corporation to effectively manage the larger and more complex operations of the combined company following the proposed merger with the Company;

•reputational risk and the reaction of the Company’s and FB Financial Corporation’s customers to the proposed merger;

•the risk of potential litigation or regulatory action related to the proposed merger;

•business and economic conditions nationally, regionally and in our target markets, particularly in Middle Tennessee and the geographic areas in which we operate;

•the concentration of our business within our geographic areas of operation in Middle Tennessee;

•credit and lending risks associated with our commercial real estate, residential real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction and land development portfolios;

•adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups, reduction in real estate values or markets, business closings or layoffs, inclement weather, natural disasters, pandemic crises, and international instability;

•increased competition in the banking and mortgage banking industry, nationally, regionally and locally;

•our ability to execute our business strategy to achieve profitable growth;

•the dependence of our operating model on our ability to attract and retain experienced and talented bankers in each of our markets;

•risks that our cost of funding could increase, in the event we are unable to continue to attract stable, low-cost deposits and reduce our cost of deposits;

•our ability to increase our operating efficiency;

•failure to keep pace with technological change or difficulties when implementing new technologies;

Table of Contents

•risks related to our acquisition, disposition, growth and other strategic opportunities and initiatives;

•negative impact on our mortgage banking services, including declines in our mortgage originations or profitability due to rising interest rates and increased competition and regulation;

•our ability to attract and maintain business banking relationships with well-qualified businesses, real estate developers and investors with proven track records in our market areas;

•fluctuations in our market value and its impact on the securities held in our securities portfolio;

•changes in the level of nonperforming assets and other credit quality measures, and their impact on the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses;

•further deterioration in the credits that we are presently monitoring could result in future losses;

•the adequacy of our reserves (including allowance for loan losses) and the appropriateness of our methodology for calculating such reserves;

•the makeup of our asset mix and investments;

•changes in the scope and cost of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance and other coverage;

•future equity issuances under our Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and future sales of our common stock by us or our executive officers or directors;

•the continuation of the disruption to the global and national economy caused by COVID-19, which could affect our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, impair the collateral values, cause an outflow of deposits, result in lost revenue or additional expenses, result in goodwill impairment charges, and increase our cost of capital;

•natural or other disasters, acts of terrorism, widespread protests and civil unrest and pandemics could have an adverse effect on us, including a material disruption of our operations or the ability or willingness of clients to access our products and services;

•widespread system outages, caused by the failure of critical internal systems or critical services provided by third parties, could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations; and

•depressed market values for our stock and adverse economic conditions sustained over a period of time may require a write down to goodwill.

Table of Contents

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 16, 2020 with the SEC, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020, as well as the section below entitled “Statement Regarding the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic” and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence or how they will affect us.

Statement Regarding the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company prioritizes the health and safety of its employees and customers, and it will continue to do so throughout the duration of the pandemic. At the same time, the Company remains focused on improving shareholder value, managing credit exposure, challenging expenses, enhancing the customer experience and supporting the communities it serves.

Throughout this Form 10-Q, the Company has sought to describe the historical and future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, including the discussions of our loan portfolio, allowances for loan and lease losses and credit quality. Although the Company believes that the statements that pertain to future events, results and trends and their impact on the Company's business are reasonable at the present time, those statements are not historical facts and are based upon current assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections, many of which, by their nature, are beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, all discussions regarding future events, results and trends and their impact on the Company's business, even in the near term, are necessarily uncertain given the fluid and evolving nature of the pandemic.

If the health, logistical or economic effects of the pandemic worsen, or if the assumptions, expectations, estimates or projections that underlie the Company's statements regarding future effects or trends prove to be incorrect, then the Company's operations may be materially and adversely impacted in ways that the Company cannot reasonably forecast.

Therefore, when reading this Form 10-Q, undue reliance should not be placed upon any statement pertaining to future events, results and trends and their impact on the Company's business in future periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Franklin Financial Network, Inc. (“FFN”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Franklin Synergy Bank (“Franklin Synergy” or the “Bank”) and Franklin Synergy Risk Management, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). Franklin Synergy Investments of Tennessee, Inc., Franklin Synergy Investments of Nevada, Inc., and Franklin Synergy Preferred Capital, Inc. are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Bank and are included in these consolidated financial statements. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides financial services through its offices in Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Nolensville, and Smyrna, Tennessee, as well as through its loan and deposit production location in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and certificate of deposit accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial and residential construction, commercial, installment loans and lines secured by home equity. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including commercial and residential real estate, business assets, and consumer assets. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid by cash flow from operations of businesses. The Company also focuses on electronic banking products such as internet banking, remote deposit capture and lockbox services.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the SEC. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Transactions between the subsidiaries have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. On January 21, 2020, the Company announced a strategic merger with FB Financial Corporation that is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, with an anticipated closing date of August 15, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy, has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. The pandemic and its adverse consequences continued throughout the second quarter of 2020, and will likely present significant economic risks for at least the next several quarters. While there has been no material impact to the Company’s employees to date, COVID-19 could also potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.

The United States Congress, the President of the United States, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 as a $2.2 trillion legislative relief package. The goal of the CARES Act is to limit the impact of a potentially severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and medical providers. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts, together with other proposed and/or pending legislature and regulatory actions, are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

Table of Contents

The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates further or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. It is not possible at this time to know the full extent that the impact of COVID-19, and resulting measures to curtail its spread, could have on the Company’s operations, but such impacts could be material and adverse.

Financial position and results of operations

The Company’s fee income could be reduced due to the impacts of COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company continues to work with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the expected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact its fee income in future periods.

The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to the impacts of COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company is actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold approximately $76.6 million of SBA PPP loans originated to a third party at a minimal discount. While interest and fees for any remaining SBA PPP loans will still accrue to income through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued may need to be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

In an agreement with a third party provider, the Company sold substantially all of its Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan portfolio that were originated and funded during the first and second quarter of 2020. This transaction allowed the Company to immediately recognize the origination fees paid by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) during the second quarter of 2020. The Company no longer retains the servicing or other risks associated with the administration of the transferred loan portfolio.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company continues to execute a payment deferral program for its eligible clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment, with the typical deferral period of 90 days. The majority of the Company’s first round of 90-day loan payment deferrals began to mature toward the end of the second quarter of 2020 and during the first part of the third quarter of 2020. The Company is working with its customers during this timeframe to determine if a second 90-day loan payment deferral is necessary. During the period ended June 30, 2020, interagency guidance and the CARES Act rules provided clarity to accounting for modifications whereby under certain circumstances, such modifications would not be considered troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs").

As of July 31, 2020, we have approximately 305 loans with a balance of approximately $478,000 that have returned to regular payment status, and we have approximately 101 loans with a balance of approximately $253,000 that remain on temporary payment deferral program.

Credit

Pertaining to the Company’s June 30, 2020 financial condition and results of operations, COVID-19 had an impact on the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and the resulting provision for loan losses were impacted by changes in economic conditions. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our ALLL and record additional provision expense. The execution of the payment deferral program discussed above improved our ratio of past due loans to total loans. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Table of Contents

Goodwill

COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform an additional goodwill impairment test and could result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings.

Reclassifications

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or equity.

Recently Adopted and Effective Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation and instead treats goodwill impairment as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance remains largely unchanged. ASU 2017-04 became effective for us on January 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company's policy is to test goodwill for impairment annually on December 31 or on an interim basis if an event triggering impairment may have occurred. During the period ended June 30, 2020, the economic turmoil and market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 crisis resulted in a decrease in the Company's stock price and market capitalization. Management believed such decrease was a triggering indicator requiring an interim goodwill impairment quantitative analysis. Under the new simplified guidance, the Company determined that none of its goodwill was impaired as of June 30, 2020. Management will continue to evaluate the economic conditions at future reporting periods for applicable changes.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 became effective for us on January 1, 2020, and only revises disclosure requirements. It did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” ASU 2018-15 clarifies certain aspects of ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement,” which was issued in April 2015. Specifically, ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 does not affect the accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and it did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Status of New Accounting Standard for Accounting for Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, became effective for the Company which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology ("ILM") for loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment with a methodology that reflects management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and requires consideration of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to develop a lifetime credit loss estimate. Topic 326 requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosure to allow users to better understand the credit risk within the portfolio and the methodologies for determining the allowance for credit losses ("ACL"). The Cumulative Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") standard also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans. Additionally, Topic 326 requires expected credit losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities be recorded as an ACL. For certain types of debt securities, such as U.S. Treasuries and other securities with government guarantees, entities may utilize an assumption of zero credit losses.

Table of Contents

In accordance with Section 4014 of the CARES Act, the Company deferred implementation of CECL and thus elected to continue to utilize the ILM to calculate loan loss reserves in the first and second quarters 2020.

The temporary deferral of CECL will remain effective until the earlier of the termination of the national emergency declaration concerning the COVID-19 pandemic or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation date of January 1, 2020. There is increased uncertainty on the local, regional, and national economy as a result of local and state stay-at-home orders, as well as relief measures provided at a national, state, and local level. The Company has taken actions to mitigate the impact or potential prospective credit losses including permitting short-term payment deferrals to current customers. These conditions significantly impact management’s determination of a reasonable and supportable forecast, an essential requirement in the calculation of expected credit losses under CECL methodology. The Company believes that the deferral will provide time to better assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the expected lifetime credit losses. Management will continue to measure and monitor the estimated impacts of CECL adoption through continued parallel testing of model simulations based on our portfolio composition and current expectations of future economic conditions.

The Company’s CECL implementation efforts will remain in process in order to adequately comply with the provisions of CECL once the deferral period ceases. Management will continue to measure and monitor the estimated impacts of CECL adoption through continued parallel testing of model simulations based on our portfolio composition and current expectations of future economic conditions.

Unrealized losses on debt securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality. As of June 30, 2020, management does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Credit Quality Indicators: The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans as well as non-homogeneous residential real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified 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.

COVID-19 Supplemental information. The loan modifications and payment deferrals established in accordance with the CARES Act and interagency guidance disclosed in Note 1 did not result in immediate credit risk modifications. The impacted credits will continue to be monitored and assessed as the sustained impact of COVID-19 becomes better understood.

Table of Contents

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. The following table excludes deferred loan fees and includes PCI loans, which are included in the “Substandard” column.

NOTE 5—LEASES

Lessee Accounting

The majority of leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches and office space and are recorded as operating leases with terms extending through 2034. The Company has one finance lease with a lease term through 2035.

In February 2020, the Company purchased the properties at Columbia Avenue and 120 9th Avenue in Franklin, Tennessee, therefore ending these lease agreements that represented approximately $19,000 and $20,000 in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, respectively. In May 2020, the Company added one finance lease for a branch in Williamson County, Tennessee that relocated that added $1,627 in right-of-use assets and $1,618 in lease liabilities. In May 2020, a finance lease for an office space located in Williamson County, Tennessee was terminated and therefore decreased right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by $2,751 and $2,903, respectively.

The following table represents lease assets and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

Stock Options: The Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), as amended and shareholder-approved, provided for authorized shares up to 4,000,000. The 2007 Plan provided that no options intended to be ISOs may be granted after April 9, 2017. As a result, the Company’s board of directors approved, and recommended to its shareholders for approval, an equity incentive plan, the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan which the Company’s shareholders approved at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders. On April 12, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2017 Plan”) to make certain changes in response to feedback received from the Company's shareholders. The terms of the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the 2007 Plan it was intended to replace. The Amended and Restated 2017 Plan provides for authorized shares up to 3,500,000. At June 30, 2020, there were 2,410,666 authorized shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan.

Employee, organizer and director stock option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have a 10 year contractual term with varying vesting requirements. The Company assigns discretion to its Compensation Committee to make grants either as qualified incentive stock options or as non-qualified stock options. All employee grants are intended to be treated as qualified incentive stock options, if allowable. All other grants are expected to be treated as non-qualified.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatilities of the Company. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.

The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

There were 0 options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019, was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.


	June 30, 2019
Risk-free interest rate	2.47	%
Expected term	7 years
Expected stock price volatility	30.64	%
Dividend yield	0.57	%

The weighted average fair value of options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0.00 and $9.78, respectively.

A summary of the activity in the plans for the six months ended June 30, 2020 follows:


	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2020	1,502,070	$	22.39

As of June 30, 2020, there was $2,271 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.17 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units: Additionally, the 2007 Plan and the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan each provides for the granting of restricted share awards and other performance related incentives. When the restricted shares are awarded, a participant receives voting and dividend rights with respect to the shares, but is not able to transfer the shares until the restrictions have lapsed. In April 2019, the Company began awarding restricted stock units, which do not have voting rights or dividend rights until the restrictions have lapsed. These awards typically have a vesting period of three to five years and vest in equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

A summary of activity for non-vested restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:


Non-vested Shares	Shares	Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2020	90,992	$	32.54
Granted	—	—
Vested	(48,599)	32.10
Forfeited	(180)	31.75
Non-vested at June 30, 2020	42,213

Compensation expense associated with the restricted share awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the time period that the restrictions associated with the awards lapse based on the total cost of the award at the grant date. As of June 30, 2020, there was $387 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares granted under the 2007 Plan and Amended and Restated 2017 Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1 year.

The Company began granting restricted stock units in 2019. The restricted stock units vest annually into common stock outstanding on the date of grant during the service period. The following table outlines restricted stock units that were outstanding, grouped by similar vesting criteria, as of June 30, 2020:


Grant year	Units Awarded	Service period in years
2019	2,870	5.0
2019	109,373	3.0
2020	118,725	3.0

Stock compensation expense related with the restricted stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $717 and $1,399, respectively. Stock compensation expense related with the restricted stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $483 and $579, respectively. This stock compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the time period that the restrictions associated with the awards lapse based on the total cost of the award at the grant date. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were $7,222 and $3,814 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.99 years.

NOTE 7—REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of

Table of Contents

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.

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III rules) provide for counter cyclical capital requirements so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, consistent with safety and soundness. Under the Basel III rules, banks must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 Capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above each of the required minimum capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying certain discretionary bonuses. This capital conservation buffer became fully effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At June 30, 2020, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that, as of June 30, 2020, the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

In October 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies, or the Agencies, issued a final rule, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework, the “Framework,” to simplify capital calculations for community banks. The Framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations and is consistent with Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The Framework is optional and is designed to reduce burden by removing requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios. Depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a leverage ratio of greater than 9%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the Framework. The final rule became effective January 1, 2020, and organizations that opt into the Framework and meet the criteria established by the rule can use the Framework for regulatory reports for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. In April 2020, the Agencies announced two interim final rules to provide relief associated with Section 4012 of the CARES Act. For institutions that elect the Framework, the interim rules temporarily lower the leverage ratio requirement to 8% for the second quarter of 2020 through the end of calendar year 2020 and to 8.5% for the 2021 calendar year. An institution will have until January 1, 2022 before the 9% leverage ratio requirement is re-established. The Company and the Bank have elected to opt into the Framework and will file their regulatory capital reports in accordance with the Framework’s guidance.

For comparative purposes, the Company has included in the table below estimated regulatory capital ratios for the Company and for the Bank as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, based on the Basel III Capital Rules discussed above.

Dividend Restrictions: The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above.

NOTE 8—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the gain or loss is recognized in current earnings.

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges

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. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate callable securities available-for-sale. The hedging strategy on securities converts the fixed interest rates to LIBOR-based variable interest rates. These derivatives are designated as partial term hedges of selected cash flows covering specified periods of time prior to the call dates of the hedged securities.

Table of Contents

During 2019, the Company entered into 16 swap transactions with a notional amount of $101,205 designated as fair value hedges. These derivatives are intended to protect against the effects of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate securities. As of June 30, 2020, there were no additional swap transactions during 2020.

A summary of the Company's fair value hedge relationships as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):


					June 30, 2020						December 31, 2019

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with any gain or loss related to changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged asset or liability affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged asset or liability. The Company uses cash flow hedge relationships in an effort to manage future interest rate exposure. The hedging strategy converts the LIBOR-based variable interest rate on forecasted borrowings to a fixed interest rate and is used in an effort to protect the Company from floating interest rate variability. A summary of the Company's cash flow hedge relationships as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):


					June 30, 2020						December 31, 2019

Table of Contents

The effects of the Company's cash flow hedge relationships on the statement of comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:


	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)						Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Interest rate swap agreements	$	142	$	(1,231)	$	(1,587)	$	(1,231)

The cash flow hedges were determined to be highly effective during the periods presented and as a result qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Company expects the hedges to continue to be highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting during the remaining terms of the swaps.

NOTE 9—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Those agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to make loans, credit lines and standby letters of credit which would impact our liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept or use these commitments. A commitment to extend credit is a formal agreement to lend funds to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established under the agreement. The actual borrowing needs of our customers under these credit commitments have historically been lower than the contractual amount of the commitments. A significant portion of these commitments expire without being drawn upon. Actual borrowing needs of our customers may exceed our expected funding requirements, especially during a challenging economic environment when our client companies may be more dependent on our credit commitments due to the lack of available credit elsewhere, the increasing costs of credit, or the limited availability of financings from other sources. Any failure to meet our unfunded credit commitments in accordance with the actual borrowing needs of our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.

Commitments to make loans, credit lines and standby letters of credit involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were as follows:


	June 30, 2020										December 31, 2019
	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Total		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Total
Unused lines of credit	$	89,642	$	637,394	$	727,036	$	89,040	$	701,326	$	790,366
Standby letters of credit	6,865		44,326		51,191		7,119		48,750		55,869
Mortgage loan commitments	136,235		—		136,235		48,999		—		48,999

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of over 365 days. At June 30, 2020, our loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 0.00% to 12.00% and maturity terms ranging from less than 1 year to 25 years.

Of the $727,036 of unused lines of credit at June 30, 2020, the Company estimates approximately $294,290, or approximately 40.5%, are available to be drawn by customers without further approval by the Bank.

NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Table of Contents

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 that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Table of Contents

Derivative assets: Included in other assets are certain assets carried at fair value and interest rate locks associated with the mortgage loan pipeline. The fair value of the mortgage loan pipeline rate locks is based upon the projected sales price of the underlying loans, taking into account market interest rates and other market factors at the measurement date, net of the projected fallout rate. These assets are valued using similar observable data that occurs in the market (Level 2).

Loans Held For Sale: These loans are typically sold to an investor following loan origination and the fair value of such accounts are readily available based on direct quotes from investors or similar transactions experienced in the secondary loan market. Fair value adjustments, as well as realized gains and losses are recorded in current earnings. Fair value is determined by market prices or similar transactions adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).

Derivative liabilities: The Company has certain liabilities carried at fair value including certain interest rate swap agreements to facilitate customer transactions, and the cash flow hedge and interest rate locks associated with the funding for its mortgage loan originations. The fair value of these liabilities is based on pricing models that utilize observable market inputs (Level 2).

There were no transfers between levels at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 that had required write-downs to fair value.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the only Level 3 assets with material unobservable inputs are associated with impaired loans and servicing rights. The table above includes those loans and servicing rights that are impaired and have a carrying balance as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Impaired Loans: A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is measured by estimating the fair value of the loan based on the present value of expected cash flows, the market price of the loan, or the underlying fair value of the loan's collateral. For real estate loans, fair value of the impaired loan's collateral is determined by third party appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically is 10% of the appraised value. For non-real estate collateral loans, the unobservable inputs will vary depending on the credit. The fair value of the impaired loan's collateral may be determined using a third party

Table of Contents

appraisal, transactional values, discounted cash flows ("DCF"), sales comparisons, asset value, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the non-real estate collateral loans was determined primarily based on the DCF method, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on valuation models that calculate the present value of estimated net cash flows based on industry market data. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net cash flows resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Financial Instruments Recorded Using Fair Value Option

As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale was $58,674 resulting in an unrealized gain of $2,468 included in gains on sale of loans. As of December 31, 2019, the unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale was $42,152, resulting in an unrealized gain of $1,010 included in gains on sale of loans. None of the loans as of June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019 are 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual.

The following tables present the carrying amounts, estimated fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

There were 0 foreclosed assets as of June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019, and accordingly, there were no properties at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 that required write-downs to fair value.

The methods and assumptions not previously described used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the fair value of loans held for investment, excluding previously presented impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, is estimated using a cash flow projection methodology that relies on three primary assumptions: (1) the expected prepayment rate of loans; (2) the magnitude of future net losses based on expected default rate and severity of loss; and (3) the discount rate applicable to the expected cash flows of the loan portfolio. Loans are considered a Level 3 classification.

(c) Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(d) Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within 90 days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(e) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Subordinated Notes: The fair values of the Company’s subordinated notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification based on the asset/liability with which they are associated.

Table of Contents

(h) Off-balance Sheet Instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE

The two-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The factors used in the earnings per share computation follow:

NOTE 12—SUBORDINATED DEBT ISSUANCE

The Company’s subordinated notes, net of issuance costs, totaled $58,961 and $58,872 at June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019, respectively. For regulatory capital purposes, the subordinated notes are treated as Tier 2 capital, subject to certain limitations, and are included in total regulatory capital when calculating the Company’s total capital to risk weighted assets ratio as indicated in Note 7 of these consolidated financial statements.

During 2016, the Company completed the issuance of $60,000 in principal amount of subordinated notes in two separate offerings. In March 2016, $40,000 of 6.875% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (the “March 2016 Subordinated Notes”) were issued in a public offering to accredited institutional investors, and in June 2016, $20,000 of 7% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (the “June 2016 Subordinated Notes”) were issued to certain accredited institutional investors in a private offering. The subordinated notes are unsecured and will rank at least equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured subordinated indebtedness and will be effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The subordinated notes will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, and will rank structurally junior to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries including, in the

case of the Company’s bank subsidiary, its depositors, and any preferred equity holders of our subsidiaries. The holders of the subordinated notes may be fully subordinated to interests held by the U.S. government in the event that we enter into a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

The issuance costs related to the March 2016 Subordinated Notes amounted to $1,382 and are being amortized as interest expense over the ten-year term of the March 2016 Subordinated Notes. The issuance costs related to the June 2016 Subordinated Notes were $404 and are being amortized as interest expense over the ten-year term of the June 2016 Subordinated Notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, amortization of issuance costs remained constant at $89.

Recent Developments:

Merger with FB Financial Corporation

On January 21, 2020, the Company announced a strategic merger with FB Financial Corporation that is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, with an anticipated closing date of August 15, 2020.

COVID-19 and the CARES Act

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic and social disruption on an unprecedented scale. While some industries have been impacted more severely than others, all businesses have been impacted to some degree. This disruption has resulted in the temporary, and in some cases permanent, shutting of businesses across the country, significant job loss, and aggressive measures by the government at the federal, state and local levels. The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. The pandemic and its adverse consequences continued throughout the second quarter of 2020 and will likely present significant economic risks for at least the next several quarters. While there has been no material impact to the Company’s employees to date, COVID-19 could also potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.

The United States Congress, the President of the United States, and the Federal Reserve have taken a multitude of actions designed to cushion the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 as a $2.2 trillion legislative relief package. The goal of the CARES Act is to limit the impact of a potentially severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and medical providers. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts, together with the proposed and/or pending legislature and regulatory actions, are expected to have a material impact on our operations. It is not possible to know at this time the full universe or extent of these impacts as of the date this filing, but such impacts could be material and adverse.

Financial position and results of operations

Pertaining to our June 30, 2020 financial condition and results of operations, COVID-19 had an impact on our allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), and the resulting provision for loan losses was impacted by changes in economic conditions. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our ALLL and record additional provision expense. The execution of the payment deferral program discussed below assisted our ratio of past due loans to total loans. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Our fee income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we continue to work with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the expected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact our fee income in future periods.

Our interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees will still accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued may need to be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact may affect our borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

In an agreement with a third party provider, we sold substantially all of our SBA PPP loan portfolio that were originated and funded during the first and second quarter of 2020. This transaction allowed us to immediately recognize the origination fees paid by the SBA during the second quarter of 2020. We no longer retain the servicing or other risks associated with the administration of this transferred loan portfolio.

Capital and liquidity

As of June 30, 2020, all of our capital ratios, and our subsidiary bank’s capital ratios, were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt. If our capital deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation

As of June 30, 2020, following a thorough analysis and testing for goodwill impairment, management has determined that our goodwill was not impaired. It is possible that subsequent impacts of COVID-19 could cause the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a subsequent goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. At June 30, 2020 we had goodwill of $18,176, representing approximately 4.3% of equity.

Our processes, controls and business continuity plan

We implemented our business continuity plans in the aftermath of the early March 2020 tornadoes that severely impacted communities across Middle Tennessee and as COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. Shortly after invoking those plans, we deployed a successful remote working strategy, provided timely communication to employees and customers, implemented protocols for employee safety, and initiated strategies for monitoring and responding to local COVID-19 impacts – including customer relief efforts. Our preparedness efforts, coupled with quick and decisive plan implementation, resulted in minimal impacts to operations as a result of COVID-19. Prior technology planning resulted in the successful deployment of the majority of our operational teams to a remote environment. These strategies and plans have continued through the second quarter and into the third quarter 2020. Due to the nature of their functions, a portion of our employees continue to operate from physical Company locations, while effectively employing social distancing standards. As of June 30, 2020, more than 50% of the Company’s 309 employees continued to work remotely. As our local communities begin to gradually lift workplace and social distancing restrictions, the Company plans to slowly bring employees back to their physical workplaces, in a conservative and methodical phased approach.

To achieve implementation of the remote working strategy, throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, we did not incur significant costs to effectively provide for proper equipment to team members who were required to work remotely. We do not anticipate incurring material costs related to our continued deployment of the remote working strategy. No material operational or internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date as a result of the pandemic. To prepare for potential staffing shortages resulting from an anticipated peak in COVID-19 cases, we have assessed critical team members and determined that appropriate contingency and succession plans are in place to ensure continued operations. Our COVID-19 Response Team continues to meet regularly to anticipate and respond to any future COVID-19 interruptions or developments. We do not anticipate significant challenges to our ability to maintain our systems and controls in light of the measures we have taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We do not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of our business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation, we are executing a payment deferral program for our commercial lending clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for typically 90 days.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 437 loans with outstanding loan balances of $730,696 that were on temporary loan payment deferral, in accordance with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act. As of July 31, 2020, we had approximately 305 loans with a balance of approximately $478,000 that had returned to regular payment status, and we had approximately 101 loans with a balance of approximately $253,000 that remained on a temporary payment deferral program. In accordance with the interagency guidance issued during the period ended June 30, 2020, these short-term deferrals are not considered TDRs.

Credit

The Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for loan and lease losses and record additional loan loss provision expense should economic conditions worsen. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

While all industries have and will continue to experience adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had exposures (loans held for investment and commitments to lend) in the following loan categories considered to be “at-risk” of significant impact as of June 30, 2020. Our exposure to the retail industry at June 30, 2020 equated to approximately $253,151, or 9.1% of total loans HFI. Our exposure to the health care industry at June 30, 2020 equated to $345,376, or 12.4% of total loans HFI. We have approximately 8.2% of the loans in the health care industry segment risk rated as substandard or worse. Our exposure to hotels at June 30, 2020 equated to approximately $143,879, or 5.1% of total loans HFI. Our exposure to restaurants at June 30, 2020 equated to approximately $77,636, or 2.8% of total loans HFI. At June 30, 2020, our exposure to the transportation and warehousing industry was $27,236, or 1.0% of total loans HFI. These "at-risk" loan categories as of June 30, 2020 totaled $847,278, or 30.3% of total loans HFI.

As a part of our continued strategic reduction in non-core assets, we reduced our Institutional loan portfolio from $429,543 at December 31, 2019 to $357,567 at June 30, 2020. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we sold an additional $10,100 of loans from the Institutional portfolio, with an immaterial sales discount.

Retail operations

Table of Contents

We are committed to assisting our customers and communities in this time of need. As of August 3, 2020, the Bank was utilizing all of its fifteen branches per normal operating procedures, except that nine of its fifteen branches were available to customers on a drive-thru basis or by appointment only. Further, we also continue to temporarily reduce, suspend, or eliminate certain fees for customers eligible for relief under regulatory guidance who have been adversely affected, and we have temporarily suspended adverse credit bureau reporting for customers eligible for such relief under applicable regulatory guidelines.

We continue to serve our customers through our branch and drive-thru operations, as well as through the use of our mobile banking operations, all of which are supported by our Customer Call Center, which has operated under extended hours during the pandemic. We have been able to conduct the vast majority of customer business with minimal disruption to date, and our bankers and entire customer service team are proactively and successfully managing the volume of customer requests and issues.

The Company continues to monitor the safety of our employees, customers and communities. At this time, our staffing is adequate to address the requests for time off by any of our employees who are impacted by health or child care issues.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. Accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) which begins on page 11. The critical accounting policies require judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. Management has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief summary of the more significant policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL)

The ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes a loan balance has become uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.

Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDR” or “TDRs”) and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All loans classified by management as substandard or worse are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Table of Contents

TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, we determine the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the ALLL.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on a combination of the Bank’s loss history and loss history from the Bank’s peer group over the past three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; 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 other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

Goodwill

Due to the estimation process and the potential materiality of the amounts involved, the Company has also identified the accounting for goodwill as an accounting policy critical to our consolidated financial statements. Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired in a business combination has an indefinite useful life and is not systematically amortized. On at least an annual basis, with the annual evaluation occurring on December 31 of each year, goodwill is evaluated for impairment. The Company has only one reporting unit with $18,176 in goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit were ever to exceed its fair value, the Company would determine whether the implied fair value of the goodwill, using a discounted cash flow analysis, exceeded the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be recorded in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. Performing such a discounted cash flow analysis would involve the significant use of estimates and assumptions. In our 2019 goodwill impairment evaluation, we concluded that the goodwill was not impaired. Additionally, during the period ended June 30, 2020, the economic turmoil and market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 crisis resulted in a decrease in the Company's stock price and market capitalization. Management believed such decrease was a triggering indicator requiring an interim goodwill impairment quantitative analysis. In this analysis, the Company determined that none of its goodwill was impaired as of June 30, 2020. Management will continue to evaluate the economic conditions at future reporting periods for applicable changes. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the balance sheet.

Status of New Accounting Standard for Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, became effective for the Company which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology for loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment with a methodology that reflects management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and requires consideration of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to develop a lifetime credit loss estimate. Topic 326 requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosure to allow users to better understand the credit risk within the portfolio and the methodologies for determining the ACL. The CECL standard also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans. Additionally, Topic 326 requires expected credit losses on AFS debt securities be recorded as an ACL. For certain types of debt securities, such as U.S. Treasuries and other securities with government guarantees, entities may expect zero credit losses.

In accordance with Section 4014 of the CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020, we deferred implementation of CECL and thus elected to continue to utilize the ILM to calculate loan loss reserves as of June 30, 2020.

The temporary deferral of CECL will remain effective until the earlier of the termination of the national emergency declaration concerning the COVID-19 pandemic or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation date of January 1, 2020. There is increased uncertainty on the local, regional, and national economy as a result of local and state stay-at-home orders, as well as relief measures provided at a national, state, and local level. We have taken actions to mitigate the impact on credit losses including permitting short-term payment deferrals to current customers, as well as actively participating in the SBA’s PPP. These conditions significantly impact management’s determination of a reasonable and supportable forecast, an essential requirement in the calculation of expected credit losses under CECL methodology. We believe that the deferral will provide time to better assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the expected lifetime credit losses, and as such, our allowance for loan losses and provision should not be compared to those under a different accounting method (e.g., CECL).

Table of Contents

Our CECL implementation efforts will remain in process in order to adequately comply with the provisions of CECL once the deferral period ceases. Management will continue to measure and monitor the estimated impacts of CECL adoption through continued parallel testing of model simulations based on our portfolio composition and current expectations of future economic conditions.

Prior to the CARES Act being signed and our decision to delay the implementation of CECL, we were completing our CECL implementation plan, under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Controller. The working group also included individuals from various functional areas including credit, risk management, accounting and information technology, among others. Our implementation plan included assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources; model development, documentation and validation; Board approval of a CECL Policy; and system configuration, among other things. Additionally, a third-party vendor remains under contract to assist us in the implementation of CECL.

We are unable as of the date of this report to provide an estimate of our allowance for loan losses under the CECL model as of June 30, 2020 and the provision for loan losses for the six months then ended.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 and 2019

(Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Overview

The Company's net income was $10,182 and $9,034 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $5,181 and $8,083 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $5,001 quarter-over-quarter and an increase of $951 year-over-year. After earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, the Company’s net earnings available to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10,174 and $9,026, respectively, compared to $5,173 and $8,075 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Net income available to common shareholders increased by $5,001 and $951 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net income was primarily related to a decrease of $15,762 and $9,802 in interest expense paid when comparing the same three and six month periods.

Net Interest Income Margin (NIM)

Net interest income consists of interest income generated by earning-assets less interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of our revenues. Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $29,528 and $56,992, respectively, compared to $27,365 and $54,785 for the same periods in 2019, an increase of $2,163 and $2,207, between the respective periods.

The net interest margin was 3.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a 42 basis point increase quarter-over-quarter, and a 32 basis point increase year-over-year. The current increase was primarily driven by the accelerated loan fees due to the third party PPP loan sale, which contributed 13 basis points to the NIM. Excluding the recognition of $1,491 of PPP loan fees, NIM would have been 3.13%.

Tax-equivalent interest income was $40,314 and $82,458 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, when compared to $48,009 and $96,067 for the same periods last year, a decrease of 16.0% and 14.2%. The yield on average interest earning assets, adjusted for tax equivalent yield, decreased 51 and 39 basis points to 4.38% and 4.46% when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to the same periods during 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the tax equivalent yield on loans held for investment was 5.10% and 5.15%, compared to 5.61% and 5.61% during the same periods in 2019. The primary driver for the decrease in yields on loans was the decrease in market interest rates when compared to the same periods in the previous year.

Interest-earning assets averaged $3,701,515 and $3,940,266 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $238,751, or 6.1%. Interest-earning assets averaged $3,714,179 and $3,991,961 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $277,782, or 7.0%. These decreases were due to the strategically planned asset rotation and decrease in the total investment securities during 2019 and 2020. Average investment securities decreased $355,218 and $417,465, or decreased 40.3% and 42.1%, and average loans held for investment increased $11,512 and $40,242 or 0.4% and 1.4% when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 with the same periods in 2019.

Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $2,950,106 and $3,340,033 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $389,927, or 11.7%. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $3,013,187 and $3,416,223 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $403,036, or 11.8%. Total average money market deposits increased $302,348 and $275,204, respectively, or 29.5% and 27.3%, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods during 2019.

Average FHLB advances decreased $208,282 and $219,305, or decreases of 59.6% and 61.2%, respectively when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 with the same periods in 2019 as a result of the organic growth in the loan portfolio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 101 and 74 basis points, respectively to 1.40% from 2.41% comparing three month periods and to 1.63% from 2.37% comparing six month periods.

Total non-interest deposits averaged $455,540, an increase of $142,436, or 45.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period during 2019. Total non-interest deposits averaged $394,712, an increase of $92,512, or 30.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period during 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an ALLL that, in management’s evaluation, should be adequate to provide coverage for the probable losses incurred in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs.

The provision for loan losses was $3,195 and $7,031 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $16,217 and $12,086 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019. The loan loss provision of $3,195 recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was mostly due to increased quantitative loss factors, as well as an increase in qualitative risk factors due to COVID-19. When combined with the cumulative $32,000 in loan loss provisions recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, and netted against the cumulative $23,600 in net charge-offs recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019 through the second quarter of 2020, the $3,195 loan loss provision recorded for the second quarter of 2020 resulted in a net ALLL build of approximately $11,600, or an increase of approximately 43.9% since the third quarter of 2019.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10,555 and $16,448 compared to $4,923 and $8,410 for the same periods in 2019, respectively. The $5,632 quarter-over-quarter increase during the second quarter of 2020 and the $8,038 increase during the six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily the result of strong mortgage banking revenue, driven by a combination of historically low interest rates, strong origination pipelines and team, as well as favorable secondary market execution and pricing during the quarter.

Other	318		844		(526)		(62.3)
Total non-interest income	$	16,448	$	8,410	$	8,038	95.6	%

Mortgage banking revenue increased $6,215 and $7,228, or 251.3% and 174.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase was due to the volume of mortgage loans originated, the sales related to those loans and more favorable market rates in 2020, which resulted in favorable fair value adjustments on mortgage derivatives. The Federal Reserve increased rates 100 basis points in 2018 but then decreased rates 75 basis points during the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and then decreased rates by an additional 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2020, resulting in a current target rate range of zero to 25 basis points at the end of June 30, 2020.

Gain (loss) on sale or call of securities decreased $201 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and increased $1,045 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, when compared with the same periods in 2019. The decrease and increase was due to the Company’s election to sell certain securities to take advantage of the market conditions that existed during that period, at which time, management elected to sell certain of its securities as part of its balance sheet management initiatives.

Net loss on sale of loans was $375 and $574 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. The loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was attributed to sales of the PPP loans to a third party during the second quarter of 2020 and sales of SNC loans during the first quarter of 2020.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to $23,976 and $46,397 from $19,370 and $41,986 for the same periods in 2019. The increases were the result of the following components listed in the table below (in thousands):

Salaries and employee benefits increased $3,397, or 29.9%, while professional fees increased $1,272, or 118.5% when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2020 with the same period in 2019. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,234, or 4.7%, respectively, while professional fees increased $3,417, or 171.2% when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2020 with the same period in 2019. These variations are attributable to employee-related adjustments and professional fees occurring due to our upcoming strategic merger with FB Financial Corporation expected to close in third quarter 2020, with an anticipated closing date of August 15, 2020.

Income Tax Expense

We recognized income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 of $2,730 and $1,792 compared to an income tax expense of $706 and $1,040 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Our quarter-to-date income tax expense for the period ended June 30, 2020 reflects an effective income tax rate of 21.1% which is an increase compared to 12.0% for the same period in 2019. Our year-to-date income tax expense for the period ended June 30, 2020 reflects an effective income tax rate of 16.6% which is an increase compared to 11.4% for the same period in 2019. The primary drivers are from pre-tax income increasing 7,025 and $1,703 compared to the same periods in 2019 as a result of recognizing a decrease in provision for loan losses of 3,836 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019, and recognizing an increase in provision for loan losses of $4,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2020 and DECEMBER 31, 2019

(Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Overview

Our total assets decreased by $120,421, or a 12.4% annualized rate, from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. The decrease in total assets has primarily been the result of the continued balance sheet rotation and optimization strategies and the planned sales of investment securities during the twelve months between June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and a planned offset by organic growth in the loan portfolio.

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and therefore generates the largest portion of revenues. For purposes of the discussion in this section, the term “loans” refers to loans, excluding loans held for sale, unless otherwise noted.

The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. Total loans, net of deferred fees, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $2,794,768 and $2,812,444, respectively, a decrease of $17,676 or a decrease of 2.5% annualized. As a percentage of total assets, total loans, net of deferred fees, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were 74.0% and 72.2%, respectively. The decrease in the loans HFI is primarily due to the continued reduction in the Institutional loan portfolio that occurred during the second quarter of 2020.

The table below provides a summary of the loan portfolio composition for the periods noted.

Real estate loans comprised 81.3% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2020. The largest portion of the real estate segments as of June 30, 2020, was commercial real estate loans, which totaled 44.7% of real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans totaled $1,017,429 at June 30, 2020, and comprised 36.3% of the total loan portfolio. The commercial real estate loan classification primarily includes commercial-based mortgage loans that are secured by nonfarm, nonresidential real estate properties and other properties.

Construction and land development loans totaled $645,281 at June 30, 2020, and comprised 28.4% of total real estate loans and 23.1% of the total loan portfolio. Loans in this classification provide financing for the construction and development of residential properties and commercial income properties, multi-family residential development, and land designated for future development. This portfolio has remained steady in absolute dollar terms since 2017, representing a lower corresponding portion of the loan portfolio.

The residential real estate classification primarily includes 1-4 family residential loans which are typically conventional first-lien home mortgages, not including loans held-for-sale in the secondary market, and it also includes home equity lines of credit

Table of Contents

and other junior lien mortgage loans. Residential real estate loans totaled $611,532 and comprised 26.9% of real estate loans and 21.9% of total loans at June 30, 2020.

Commercial and industrial loans totaled $520,413 at June 30, 2020. Loans in this classification comprised 18.6% of total loans at June 30, 2020. The commercial and industrial classification consists of commercial loans to small-to-medium sized businesses, shared national credits, and commercial healthcare loans.

This net loan decline for the second quarter of 2020 was driven partly by the $5,924 linked-quarter reduction in the SNC portfolio to a balance of $99,602, representing a 56.9% year-over-year and 22.6% annualized linked-quarter decrease. This is the lowest SNC balance held by the Company during the last six quarters, representing 3.6% of loans HFI, which is almost half of the Company’s concentration of 9.3% of loans HFI at the peak of the SNC portfolio at December 31, 2018. Non-SNC loan decline in the second quarter was $11,752, representing an annualized decline of 1.7% from the first quarter of 2020 and is primarily due to the second quarter continued Institutional loan portfolio reduction. At June 30, 2020, the Company estimates approximately $294,290, or approximately 41%, of the $727,036 unused lines of credit are available to be drawn by customers without further approval by the Bank.

The information presented in the above table is based upon the contractual maturities of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, management believes this treatment presents fairly the maturity structure of the loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL)

The Company maintains an ALLL that management believes is adequate to absorb the probable incurred losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to earnings and is decreased by loan charge-offs net of recoveries of prior period loan charge-offs. The level of the allowance is determined on a quarterly

Table of Contents

basis, although management is engaged in monitoring the adequacy of the allowance on a more frequent basis. In estimating the allowance balance, the following factors are considered:

•past loan experience;

•the nature and volume of the portfolio;

•risks known about specific borrowers;

•underlying estimated values of collateral securing loans;

•current and anticipated economic conditions; and

•other factors which may affect the allowance for probable incurred losses.

The ALLL consists of two primary components: (1) a specific component which relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired; and (2) a general component which covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on a combination of the Company’s loss history and loss history from peer group data over the past three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.

The following loan portfolio segments have been identified: (1) Construction and land development loans; (2) Commercial real estate loans; (3) Residential real estate loans; (4) Commercial and industrial loans; and (5) Consumer and other loans. Management evaluates the risks associated with these segments based upon specific characteristics associated with the loan segments. These risk characteristics include, but are not limited to, the value of the underlying collateral, adverse economic conditions and the borrower’s cash flow. While the total allowance consists of a specific portion and a general portion, both portions of the allowance are available to provide for probable incurred loan losses in the entire portfolio.

In the table below, the components, as discussed above, of the ALLL are shown at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

⁽¹⁾ HFI loan balance is before net deferred loan fees and costs.
⁽²⁾ Acquired loans are performing loans recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date. Based on the analysis performed by management as of June 30, 2020, $71 in ALLL was recorded at June 30, 2020 related to the loans acquired.

At June 30, 2020, the ALLL was $38,100, compared to $45,436 at December 31, 2019. The ALLL as a percentage of total loans HFI was 1.36% at June 30, 2020 and 1.61% at December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s total non-performing assets ("NPAs") were 0.65% of assets, or $24,433, a decrease of approximately $3,256 from December 31, 2019. The NPA/ALLL coverage ratio was 1.56 at June 30, 2020, a decrease of 8 basis points from the 1.64 coverage present at December 31, 2019. Criticized and Classified Assets were $50,683 at June 30, 2020, representing 1.81% of loans HFI, consistent with 1.86% of loans HFI at December 31, 2019.

Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to $17,914, or 0.64% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2020, compared to $22,228, or 0.79% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2019. Potential problem loans represent those loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is for substandard loans, which are still accruing interest and excluding the impact of substandard nonaccrual loans. The Company also monitors the aging of loans less than 90 days past due and the loans that have been deferred under the Company's COVID-19 related payment deferral program as reported in Notes 1 and 3 in the Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nonperforming Assets

Non-performing loans consist of non-accrual loans and loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans plus foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are past due 90 days and/or management believes the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration to economic conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease, and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis, or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The primary component of non-performing loans is non-accrual loans, which as of June 30, 2020 totaled $24,433. At June 30, 2020, there were no loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest which is the other component of non-

performing loans. Loans past due greater than 90 days are placed on non-accrual status, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection.

The table below summarizes non-performing loans and assets for the periods presented.

Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets

The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide the Company with adequate liquidity and a source of stable income. The portfolio is structured with minimal credit exposure to the Company and consists of securities classified as AFS. All AFS securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management deem it to be in the Company’s best interest. Securities AFS, consisting primarily of mortgage-backed securities, totaled $503,877 at June 30, 2020, compared to $652,132 at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $148,255, or 22.7%. The decrease in AFS securities was primarily attributed to security sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

There were no HTM securities at June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019.

The Company also had other investments of $24,110 and $24,802 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, primarily consisting of capital stock in the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank required as members of the Federal Reserve Bank System (“FRB”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank System (“FHLB”). The FHLB and FRB investments are “restricted” in that they can only be sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par, and are thus, not liquid, have no ready market or quoted market value, and are carried at cost.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment totaled $47,305 at June 30, 2020 compared to $12,141 at December 31, 2019, an increase of $35,164, due to the purchase of the properties at Columbia Avenue and 120 9th Avenue locations in Franklin, Tennessee, therefore ending the lease agreements by the Company on February 5, 2020. In May 2020, the Company was notified that the landlord of an office space located in Williamson County had sold the property, therefore, terminating the lease. One branch in Williamson County, Tennessee plans to relocate to another leased facility within the same general area.

Deposits

At June 30, 2020, total deposits were $3,143,259, a decrease of $64,325, or 8.1% annualized, compared to $3,207,584 at December 31, 2019. Included in the Company’s funding strategy are brokered deposits, public funds deposits and reciprocal deposits. Total brokered deposits decreased $225,782, or 143.6% annualized, to $406,459 at June 30, 2020, when compared with $632,241 at December 31, 2019, which reflects the Company’s strategy to reduce its dependence on non-core funding. Public funds deposits decreased $157,218, or 163.4% annualized, to $229,685 at June 30, 2020 when compared with $386,903

Table of Contents

at December 31, 2019 due to the Company’s strategy to redirect some of the Company’s local government customers into the reciprocal account relationships, thereby decreasing the Company’s requirements to collateralize those public funds deposits. As a result, reciprocal deposits increased $96,434, or 80.5% annualized, to $578,175 at June 30, 2020, compared to $481,741 at December 31, 2019.

Time deposits, excluding brokered deposits and public funds, as of June 30, 2020, were $379,879, compared to $399,258 as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $19,379, or 19.5% annualized.

The following table shows time deposits in denominations of $100 or more based on time remaining until maturity:

Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements

The Company had no federal funds purchased from correspondent banks or repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The Company has established a line of credit with the FHLB of Cincinnati which is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit. At June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019 advances totaled $100,000 and $155,000, respectively, and the scheduled maturities and interest rates of these advances were as follows:


Scheduled Maturities	Amount		Weighted Average Rates
2020	$	100,000	0.30	%

Subordinated Notes

At June 30, 2020, the Company’s subordinated notes, net of issuance costs, totaled $58,961 compared with $58,872 at December 31, 2019. For more information related to the subordinated notes and the related issuance costs, please see Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis.

Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the appropriate duration and rate-based liabilities, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure the ability to fund operations cost-effectively and to meet current and future potential obligations such as loan commitments, lease obligations, and unexpected deposit outflows. In this process, management focuses on both assets and liabilities and on the manner in which they combine to provide adequate liquidity to meet the Company’s needs. Our source of funds to pay interest on our March 2016 Subordinated Notes and June 2016 Subordinated Notes is generally in the form of a dividend from the Bank to the Company, or those payments may be serviced from cash balances held by the Company. The Bank’s ability to pay a dividend may be restricted due to regulatory requirements as well as the Bank’s future earnings and capital needs.

Funds are available from a number of basic banking activity sources including the core deposit base, the repayment and maturity of loans, payments of principal and interest as well as sales of investments classified as AFS, and sales of brokered deposits. As of June 30, 2020, $503,877 of the investment securities portfolio was classified as AFS and is reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Approximately $283,970 of the total $503,877 investment securities portfolio on hand at June 30, 2020 was pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements. Other funding sources available include

Table of Contents

repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank.

Equity

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s equity was $422,063, as compared with $410,426 as of December 31, 2019. The $11,637 increase in equity was mainly driven by the Company's net income of $10,174 in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

On January 23, 2019, our board of directors announced they had authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30,000 of our outstanding common stock. The repurchase program expired on January 23, 2020, and no additional shares were purchased after December 31, 2019.

Effects on Inflation and Changing Prices

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the performance of a financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in increased interest rates. In addition, inflation affects financial institutions’ increased cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Commercial and other loan originations and refinancing tend to slow as interest rates increase, and can reduce the Company’s earnings from such activities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company generally does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other than unused lines of credit, outstanding standby letters of credit, and outstanding mortgage loan commitments to customers in the ordinary course of business. At June 30, 2020, the Company had unused lines of credit of $727,036, outstanding standby letters of credit of $95,517, and outstanding mortgage loan commitments of $136,235.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial data included in our selected historical consolidated financial information are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance:

•“Common equity” is defined as total shareholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock;

•“Tangible common equity” is common equity less goodwill and other intangible assets;

•“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets; and

•“Return on Average Tangible Common Equity” is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common shareholders’ equity.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.

Termination of Emerging Growth Company Status

Effective as of December 31, 2019, the Company ceased to be an emerging growth company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.

Management seeks to maintain profitability in both immediate and long-term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management deals with the potential impact on earnings associated with changing interest rates using various rate change (shock) scenarios. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management monitors the Company’s rate sensitivity position throughout each month, and the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank meets on a quarterly basis to analyze the rate sensitivity position and other aspects of asset/liability management. These meetings cover the spread between the cost of funds (primarily time deposits) and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments, rate shock analyses, liquidity and dependency positions, and other areas necessary for proper balance sheet management.

Management believes interest rate risk is best measured by earnings simulation modeling. The simulation is run using the prime rate as the base with the assumption of rates increasing 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points or decreasing 100 and 200 basis points. All rates are increased or decreased parallel to the change in prime rate. As a result of the simulation, over a 12-month time period ended June 30, 2020, net interest income was estimated to decrease 1.73% and 1.82% if rates were to increase 100 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively, and was estimated to increase 1.93% and decrease 4.10% in a 100 basis points and 200 basis points declining rate assumption, respectively. These results are in line with the Company’s guidelines for rate sensitivity.

The following chart reflects the Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates as indicated as of June 30, 2020.


Projected Interest Rate Change	Net Interest Income $	Net Interest Income $ Change from Base	% Change from Base
-200	122,643	(5,243)	(4.10)	%
-100	130,359	2,473	1.93	%
Base	127,886	—	—	%
+100	125,670	(2,216)	(1.73)	%
+200	125,553	(2,333)	(1.82)	%
+300	126,314	(1,572)	(1.23)	%
+400	127,233	(653)	(0.51)	%

The preceding sensitivity analysis is a modeling analysis, which changes periodically and consists of hypothetical estimates based upon numerous assumptions including interest rate levels, changes in the shape of the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, rates on loans and deposits, reinvestments of pay downs and maturities of loans, investments and deposits, changes in spreads between key market rates, and other assumptions. In addition, there is no input for growth or a change in asset mix. While assumptions are developed based on the current economic and market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences

Table of Contents

might change. As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will differ. Also, these results do not include any management action that might be taken in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the modeling analysis may not be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates as the inputs utilized by management may be inaccurate. The simulation results are one indicator of interest rate risk, and actual net interest income is largely impacted by the allocation of assets, liabilities, and product mix. The model is a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios and does not indicate actual expected results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 30, 2020, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the ongoing efforts to remediate the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting identified in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 as described in more detail below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report 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 its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate 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.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. Other than as described below in regards to our ongoing efforts to fully remediate the material weakness identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Previously Identified Material Weakness

Based on the assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 due to a material weakness arising from certain control deficiencies existing during 2019 related to the Company’s precision of review regarding the valuation of impaired loans. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As stated in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management concluded that the existence of this material weakness did not result in a restatement of prior period financial statements and no change in previously issued financial results were required as a result of this material weakness in internal control.

Remediation of Material Weakness

The Company has made progress toward remediation of the underlying causes of the above-described material weakness in 2019. However, the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting will not be considered fully addressed until the internal controls over this area have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for the Company’s management to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated. The Company will continue to evaluate these internal controls throughout 2020 to ensure the remediation efforts are working as designed. As a result, the Company may alter its control structure to enhance these and other related controls in this area, but the Company’s evaluation as to full remediation will primarily involve an ongoing review of its current control structure to make sure the controls in this area are being performed as designed by the individuals responsible for performance of these controls. Once this evaluation is complete, the Company will make its final determination as to full remediation.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Management is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings against the Company which, if determined adversely, the Company believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, with the exception of:

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and such effects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have been weighing on the macroeconomic environment, and the pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. The pandemic has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such measures have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. The United States government has taken steps to attempt to mitigate some of the more severe anticipated economic effects of the virus, including the passage of the CARES Act, but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion.

The pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our borrowers, customers and business partners. In particular, we may experience financial losses due to a number of operational factors impacting us or our borrowers, customers or business partners, including but not limited to:

•credit losses resulting from financial stress being experienced by our borrowers as a result of the pandemic and related governmental actions, particularly in the hospitality, energy, retail and restaurant industries, but across other industries as well;

•declines in collateral values;

•decreased demand for our products and services;

•third party disruptions, including outages at network providers and other suppliers;

•increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt to profit from the disruption, given increased online and remote activity; and

•operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the pandemic and related governmental actions.

These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including restricting employee travel, and developing work from home and social distancing plans for our employees), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or will otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.

The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Table of Contents

There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As a participating lender in the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company and the Bank are subject to additional risks regarding the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The Bank is participating as a lender in the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes us to potential risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. On or about April 16, 2020, the SBA notified lenders that the $349 billion earmarked for the PPP was exhausted. Subsequent legislation was enacted to authorize an additional $310 billion in PPP loans.

In the first and second quarters of 2020, the Company originated and funded PPP loans. In an agreement with a third party provider, the Company sold substantially all of its PPP loan portfolio.

Since the initiation of the PPP, several larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the protocols and procedures that they used in processing applications for the PPP. We may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non-customers that approached us regarding PPP loans, regarding our policies and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against the Company or the Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to us, it could result in financial liability or adversely affect our reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may experience increases to, and volatility in, the balance of the allowance for credit losses and related provision expense due to the adoption of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology.

As permitted by the CARES Act, we have delayed adoption until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declared by President Trump under the National Emergencies Act on March 31, 2020, related to the outbreak of COVID-19, and December 31, 2020. Relative to the incurred loss methodology that we currently use, the CECL methodology requires increased use of judgments and dependence on forward-looking information and forecasts, any of which may prove to be incorrect. For this reason, and due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertain duration of the permitted delay referred to above, we are not able to estimate the amount of increase in our allowance for credit losses upon our compliance with this standard.

The CECL methodology differs substantially from the incurred loss methodology currently used in that it is forward looking, requiring measurement to occur when a financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. The measurements will require increased use of management judgments as well as forward-looking information and forecasts. Although every effort is made to ensure that the judgements are correct and the forecasts accurate, the future is uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the judgments and forecasts will prove to be correct.
