Note 1.                                 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

FVCBankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Virginia corporation, was formed in 2015 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The Company conducts its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly owned subsidiary bank, FVCbank (the “Bank”). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank.

 

The Bank was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to engage in a general banking business serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Bank commenced regular operations on November 27, 2007 and is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It is subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve System and the State Corporation Commission of Virginia.  Consequently, it undergoes periodic examinations by these regulatory authorities.

 

On October 12, 2018, the Company announced the completion of its acquisition of Colombo Bank (“Colombo”). Colombo, which was headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, merged into FVCbank effective October 12, 2018 adding five banking locations in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County and the City of Baltimore in Maryland. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, holders of shares of Colombo common stock received 0.002217 shares of the Company’s common stock and $0.053157 in cash for each share of Colombo common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares at a rate equal to $19.614 per share of FVCB common stock.  Holders of an aggregate of 35,002 shares of Colombo common stock who individually owned fewer than 45,086 shares of Colombo common stock after aggregation of all shares held in the same name, made a timely election to receive only cash in an amount equal to $0.096649 per share of Colombo common stock. As a result of the merger, 763,051 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in exchange for outstanding shares of Colombo common stock.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant 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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. At the FASB’s October 16, 2019 meeting, the Board affirmed its decision to amend the effective date of this ASU for many companies.   Public business entities that are SEC filers, excluding those meeting the smaller reporting company definition, will retain the initial required implementation date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  All other entities will be required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has identified a third party vendor to assist in the measurement of expected credit losses under this standard. The implementation committee has completed the data collection process, validated the data inputs, and is in the initial phases of evaluating various allowance methodologies for certain loan segments within the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company is currently evaluating the implementation of ASU 2016-13 due to the change in implementation dates for smaller reporting companies included in the FASB’s Exposure Draft.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this ASU simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

 

narrative description of measurement uncertainty. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Certain of the amendments are to be applied prospectively while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.”  This ASU clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement including improvements resulting from various TRG Meetings.  The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief.”  The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon the adoption of Topic 326.  The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities.  An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently measure those instruments at fair value with changes in fair value flowing through earnings.  The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the balance sheet.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

 

Securities of U.S. government and federal agencies: The unrealized loss on one available-for-sale security was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments.

 

Securities of state and local municipalities: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in securities of state and local municipalities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Four of the eight investments carry an S&P investment grade rating of AA+ or above, one has a rating of AA-, one has an AA rating, while the remaining two do not carry a rating.

 

Corporate bonds: The unrealized losses on the investments in corporate bonds were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. One of these investments carries an S&P investment grade rating of A-. The remaining four investments do not carry a rating.

 

SBA pass-through securities: The unrealized loss on the Company’s single investment in SBA pass-through securities was caused by interest rate increases. Repayment of the principal on those investments is guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not consider that investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.

 

Mortgage-backed securities: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in thirty-one mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.

 

Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs): The unrealized loss associated with twenty-five CMOs was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2019.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of September 30, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

During 2018, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Colombo, the loan portfolio was segregated between loans initially accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as “originated” loans) and loans acquired (referred to as “acquired” loans).

 

The loans segregated to the acquired loan portfolio were initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for under either ASC Topic 310-30 or ASC 310-20.  The outstanding principal balance and related carrying amount of acquired loans included in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with the impaired loans. There were no nonaccrual loans excluded from the impaired loan disclosure.

 

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, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.  This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Pass — Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

 

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 enhanced possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful include those loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently known facts, conditions and values, improbable.

 

Loss — Loans classified as loss include those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Even though partial recovery may be achieved in the future, it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off these loans.

 

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans was as follows as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes, larger non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained.  At September 30, 2019, the Company had $24.1 million in loans identified as special mention within the originated loan portfolio, an increase of $15.5 million from December 31, 2018.  Special mention rated loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  The increase from December 31, 2018 is concentrated in four loans that were added to this risk category during the second quarter of 2019.  These loans do not have a specific reserve and are considered well-secured.  At September 30, 2019, the Company had $9.6 million in loans identified as substandard within the originated loan portfolio, an increase of $6.8 million from December 31, 2018. Substandard rated loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  For each of these substandard loans, a liquidation analysis is completed.  As of September 30, 2019, specific reserves on originated and acquired loans totaling $392 thousand, has been allocated within the allowance for loan losses to supplement any shortfall of collateral.

 

Past due and nonaccrual loans presented by loan class were as follows at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

As of September 30, 2019, there were $174 thousand of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process. There were none as of December 31, 2018.

 

There were overdrafts of $207 thousand and $28 thousand at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which have been reclassified from deposits to loans. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 loans with a carrying value of $158.0 million and $173.0 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

 

There was a default of one troubled debt restructuring (TDR) during the twelve months since its restructuring for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, no TDRs defaulted within twelve months of the restructuring.

The concessions made in troubled debt restructurings were extensions of the maturity dates or reductions in the stated interest rate for the remaining life of the debt.

 

Note 4.                                 Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements (‘‘swap agreements’’) to facilitate the risk management strategies needed in order to accommodate the needs of its banking customers. The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these loan agreements by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly-rated third party financial institutions. These back-to-back swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (asset positions are included in other assets and liability positions are included in other liabilities) as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparty; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Parties to a centrally cleared over-the-counter derivative exchange daily payments that reflect the daily change in value of the derivative. These payments, commonly referred to as variation margin, are recorded as settlements of the derivatives’ mark-to-market exposure rather than collateral against the exposures, which effectively results in any centrally cleared derivative having a Level 2 fair value that approximates zero on a daily basis, and therefore, these swap agreements were not included in the offsetting table in the Fair Value Measurement section. As of September 30, 2019, the Company entered into sixteen interest rate swap agreements which are collateralized with $8.1 million in cash.  There were eight agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2018 which were collateralized with $1.6 million in cash.

 

The notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Interest Rate Risk Management—Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

 

The Company uses FHLB advances and other wholesale funding from time to time as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and other general business purposes. This wholesale funding exposes the Company to increased interest rate risk as a result of the variability in cash flows (future interest payments).  The Company believes it is prudent to reduce this interest rate risk.  To meet this objective, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement whereby the Company reduces the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate advances (or other wholesale funding) from the designation date of July 30, 2019 and going through July 30, 2022 (the maturity date).

 

At September 30, 2019, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variability in cash flows (FHLB advance which is included in other borrowed funds on the consolidated balance sheet) is as follows:

Unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps

These agreements provided for the Company to receive payments determined by a specific index (three month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate. At September 30, 2019, the unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with FHLB advances are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the advance affects earnings. The Company measures cash flow hedging relationships for effectiveness on a monthly basis, and at September 30, 2019, the hedges were highly effective and the amount of ineffectiveness reflected in earnings was de minimus.

 

Note 5.                                 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

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

 

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

 

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the following financial instruments were outstanding which contract amounts represent credit risk:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

 

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

 

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary.

 

The Company maintains its cash accounts with the Federal Reserve and correspondent banks.  The total amount of cash on deposit in correspondent banks exceeding the federally insured limits was $13.3 million and $5.1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Note 6.                                 Stock-Based Compensation Plan

 

The Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Option Plan (the Plan), which is stockholder-approved, was adopted to advance the interests of the Company by providing selected key employees of the Company, their affiliates, and directors with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock. In June 2018, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2008 Plan to extend the term and increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 200,000 shares.

 

The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be made is 2,529,296 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, generally vest annually over four years of continuous service and have ten year contractual terms. At September 30, 2019, 164,597 shares were available to grant under the Plan.

Note 7.                                 Fair Value Measurements

 

Determination of Fair Value

 

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

 

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

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

Level 1 –                      Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

32


Table of Contents

 

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

 

Level 2 –                      Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

 

Level 3 –                      Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

 

Securities available-for-sale: Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

 

Cash flow hedges: The Company has interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded at fair value using published yield curve rates from a national valuation service. These observable rates and inputs are applied to a third party industry-wide valuation model, and therefore, the valuations fall into a Level 2 category.

 

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

 

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the present value of future cash flows, observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, has the value derived by discounting comparable sales due to lack of similar properties, or is discounted by the Company due to marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(Continued)

 

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available, which results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Other real estate owned properties are evaluated regularly for impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Note 8.                                 Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of stock which then shared in the earnings of the Company.  Holders of the Company’s restricted stock units do not have voting rights during the vesting period and therefore, restricted stock units are not included in the computation of basic earnings per share.

 

The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per    share and the effect of weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock.  Dilutive potential common stock has no effect on income available to common stockholders.  There were no anti-dilutive shares for each of the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 10.                          Subordinated Notes

 

On June 20, 2016, the Company issued $25 million in private placement of fixed-to-floating subordinated notes due June 30, 2026.  Interest is payable at 6.00% per annum, from and including June 20, 2016 to, but excluding June 30, 2021, payable semi-annually in arrears.  From and including June 30, 2021 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 487 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.

 

The Company may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of June 30, 2021 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter redeem the subordinated notes, in whole or in part, upon not fewer than 30 nor greater than 60 days’ notice to holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among all of the holders.

 

The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company to the fullest extent permitted under the BASEL III capital rules. When contributed to the capital of the Bank, the proceeds of the subordinated notes may be included in Tier 1 capital for the Bank. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $21 million of the proceeds of the Company’s subordinated notes have been included in the Bank’s Tier 1 capital.

Note 11.                          Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’ (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. The implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606.

 

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, gain on sale of securities, BOLI income, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and insurance commissions. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

 

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

 

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and personal checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

 

Fees, Exchange and Other Service Charges

 

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. This income is reflected in other income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

 

Other income

 

Other noninterest income consists of loan swap fees, insurance commissions, and other miscellaneous revenue streams not meeting the criteria above. When the Company enters into an interest rate swap agreement, the Company may receive an additional one-time payment fee which is recognized as income when received. The Company receives monthly recurring commissions based on a percentage of premiums issued and revenue is

recognized when received. Any residual miscellaneous fees are recognized as they occur, and therefore, the Company determined this consistent practice satisfies the obligation for performance.

 

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Contract Balances

 

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

 

Contract Acquisition Costs

 

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition cost.

Note 13.                          Leases

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. There was a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $86 thousand at adoption. The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and did not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases.  Prior to adoption, all of the Company’s leases were classified as operating leases and remain operating leases at adoption. The implementation of the new standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset of approximately $12.2 million and an offsetting lease liability of $12.7 million for leases existing at the date of adoption.

 

Contracts that commence subsequent to adoption are evaluated to determine whether they are or contain a lease in accordance with Topic 842. The Company has elected the practical expedient provided by Topic 842 not to allocate consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components. The Company also elected, as provided by the standard, not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, defined by the standard as leases with terms of 12 months or less.

 

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

 

Lease payments

 

Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or for variable lease payments, in the period in which the obligation was incurred. Payments for leases with terms longer than twelve months are included in the determination of the lease liability. Payments may be fixed for the term of the lease or variable.  If the lease agreement provides a known escalator, such as a specified percentage increase per

 

41


Table of Contents

 

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

 

year or a stated increase at a specified time, the variable payment is included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. If the variable payment is based upon an unknown escalator, such as the consumer price index at a future date, the increase is not included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. The Company’s leases provide known escalators that are included in the determination of the lease liability, with the exception of three lease agreements.

 

Options to Extend, Residual Value Guarantees, and Restrictions and Covenants

 

The Company’s leases offer the option to extend the lease term. For each of the leases, the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the options and has included the additional time and lease payments in the calculation of the lease liability. None of the Company’s leases provide for residual value guarantees and none provide restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

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

 

The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the balance of 2019, or for any other period.  In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward-looking statements include without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” or words or phases of similar meaning. We caution that the forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:

 

·                  the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;

 

·                  geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad;

 

·                  the occurrence of significant natural disasters;

 

·                  our management of risks inherent in our real estate loan portfolio, and the risk of a prolonged downturn in the real estate market, which could impair the value of our collateral and our ability to sell collateral upon any foreclosure;

 

·                  changes in consumer spending and savings habits;

 

·                  technological and social media changes;

 

·                  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

 

·                  changing bank regulatory conditions, policies or programs, whether arising as new legislation or regulatory initiatives, that could lead to restrictions on activities of banks generally, or our subsidiary bank in particular, more restrictive regulatory capital requirements, increased costs, including deposit insurance premiums, regulation or prohibition of certain income producing activities or changes in the secondary market for loans and other products;

 

·                  the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations, including laws, regulations and policies concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies;

 

·                  the impact of changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting the real estate industry;

 

·                  the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time to time by bank regulatory agencies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setting bodies;

 

44


Table of Contents

 

·                  the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;

 

·                  the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for our products and services;

 

·                  the effect of acquisitions we may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;

 

·                  changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs;

 

·                  our involvement, from time to time, in legal proceedings and examination and remedial actions by regulators;

 

·                  potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft and cyber-crime;

 

·                  the expected growth opportunities or cost savings from an acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and

 

·                  deposit attrition, operating costs, customer losses, and business disruption following a merger, including adverse effects on relationships with employees, may be greater than expected.

 

The foregoing factors should not be considered exhaustive and should be read together with other cautionary statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information and statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking information and statements. We will not update the forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the 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.

 

Overview

 

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia. Our sole subsidiary, FVCbank, was formed in November 2007 as a community-oriented, locally-owned and managed commercial bank under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank offers a wide range of traditional bank loan and deposit products and services to both our commercial and retail customers. Our commercial relationship officers focus on attracting small and medium sized businesses, commercial real estate developers and builders, including government contractors, non-profit organizations, and professionals. Our approach to our market features competitive customized financial services offered to customers and prospects in a personal relationship context by seasoned professionals.

 

On October 12, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Colombo Bank (“Colombo”).  Colombo, which was headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, merged into FVCbank effective October 12, 2018 adding five banking locations in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County and the City of Baltimore in Maryland. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, holders of shares of Colombo common stock received 0.002217 shares of the Company’s common stock and $0.053157 in cash for each share of Colombo common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the merger, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares at a rate equal to $19.614 per share of FVCB common stock. Holders of an aggregate of 35,002 shares of Colombo common stock who individually owned fewer than 45,086 shares of Colombo common stock after aggregation of all shares held in the same name, made a timely election to receive only cash in an amount equal to $0.096649 per share of Colombo common stock.  As a result of the merger, 763,051 shares of common stock were issued in exchange for outstanding shares of Colombo common stock.

 

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. We define revenue as net interest income plus noninterest income. As discussed further in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below, we manage our balance sheet and interest rate risk exposure to maximize, and concurrently stabilize, net interest income. We do this by monitoring our liquidity position and the spread between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but are unable to eliminate it entirely. In addition to managing interest rate risk, we also analyze our loan portfolio for exposure to credit risk. Loan defaults and foreclosures are inherent risks in the banking industry, and we attempt to limit our exposure to these risks by carefully underwriting and then monitoring our extensions of credit. In addition to net interest income, noninterest income is a complementary source of revenue for us and includes, among other things, service charges on

deposits and loans, merchant services fee income, loan swap fees, insurance commission income, income from bank owned life insurance, or BOLI, and gains and losses on sales of investment securities available-for-sale.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

The accounting principles we apply under GAAP are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions, judgments and estimates when applying these principles where precise measurements are not possible or practical. These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such judgments, assumptions and estimates may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Actual results, in fact, could differ from initial estimates.

 

The accounting policies we view as critical are those relating to judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding the determination of the allowance for loan losses, accounting for purchase credit-impaired loans, fair value measurements, and the valuation of other real estate owned.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

We maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Both the amount of the provision expense and the level of the allowance for loan losses are impacted by many factors, including general and industry-specific economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, historical trends and specific conditions of individual borrowers. Unusual and infrequently occurring events, such as weather-related disasters, may impact our assessment of possible credit losses. As a part of our analysis, we use comparative peer group data and qualitative factors such as levels of and trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charged-off loans, changes in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending policy, experience and ability and depth of management, national and local economic trends and conditions and concentrations of credit, competition, and loan review results to support estimates.

 

The allowance for loan losses is based first on a segmentation of the loan portfolio by general loan type, or portfolio segments. For originated loans, certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated and evaluated collectively for impairment based on loan segments, which are largely based on the type of collateral underlying each loan. For purposes of this analysis, we categorize loans into one of five categories: commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, consumer residential, and consumer nonresidential loans. Typically, financial institutions use their historical loss experience and trends in losses for each loan category which are then adjusted for portfolio trends and economic and environmental factors in determining their allowance for loan losses. Since the Bank’s inception in 2007, we have experienced minimal loss history within our loan portfolio. Because of this, our allowance model uses the average loss rates of similar institutions (our custom peer group) as a baseline which is then adjusted based on our particular qualitative loan portfolio characteristics and environmental factors. The indicated loss factors resulting from this analysis are applied for each of the five categories of loans.

 

Our peer group is defined by selecting commercial banking institutions of similar size within Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. This is known as our custom peer group. The commercial banking institutions comprising the custom peer group can change based on certain factors including but not limited to the characteristics, size, and geographic footprint of the institution. We have identified 28 banks for our custom peer group which are within $200 million to $3 billion in total assets, the majority of whom are geographically concentrated in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in which we operate, as this area has experienced more stable economic conditions than many other areas of the country. These baseline peer group loss rates are then adjusted based on an analysis of our loan portfolio characteristics, trends, economic considerations and other conditions that should be considered in assessing our credit risk. Our peer loss rates are updated on a quarterly basis.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are determined to be impaired and, therefore, individually evaluated for impairment. We individually assign loss factors to all loans that have been identified as having loss attributes, as indicated by deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or a decline in underlying collateral value if the loan is collateral dependent. We evaluate the impairment of certain loans on a loan by loan basis for those loans that are adversely risk rated. Measurement of impairment is based on the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan, which are discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or measured on an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral underlying the loan, discounted to consider estimated costs to sell the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the net collateral value is less than the loan balance (including accrued interest and any unamortized premium or discount associated with the loan) we recognize an impairment and establish a specific reserve for the impaired loan.

Credit losses are an inherent part of our business and, although we believe the methodologies for determining the allowance for loan losses and the current level of the allowance are appropriate, it is possible that there may be unidentified losses in the portfolio at any particular time that may become evident at a future date pursuant to additional internal analysis or regulatory comment. Additional provisions for such losses, if necessary, would be recorded, and would negatively impact earnings.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses - Acquired Loans

 

Acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30

 

For our acquired loans, to the extent that we experience a deterioration in borrower credit quality resulting in a decrease in our expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition of the loans, an allowance for loan losses would be established based on our estimate of future credit losses over the remaining life of the loans.

 

Acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20

 

Subsequent to the acquisition date, we establish an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation process that is similar to our evaluation process used for originated loans. This evaluation, which includes a review of loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other factors, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical net loan loss experience, carrying value of the loans, which includes the remaining net purchase discount or premium, and other factors that may warrant recognition in determining our allowance for loan losses.

 

Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans

 

Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, which are the loans acquired in our acquisition of Colombo, are loans acquired at a discount (that is due, in part, to credit quality). These loans are initially recorded at fair value (as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows) with no allowance for loan losses. We account for interest income on all loans acquired at a discount (that is due, in part, to credit quality) based on the acquired loans’ expected cash flows. The acquired loans may be aggregated and accounted for as a pool of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flow. The difference between the cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each pool. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the pool over its remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment through a loss provision and an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses on these impaired pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (representing the present value of all cash flows that were expected at acquisition but currently are not expected to be received).  At September 30, 2019, we had specific reserves for impairment of acquired loans within our allowance for loan losses totaling $71 thousand for three loans that had further deteriorated post acquisition.

 

We periodically evaluate the remaining contractual required payments due and estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. These evaluations, performed quarterly, require the continued use of key assumptions and estimates, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. Changes in the contractual required payments due and estimated cash flows expected to be collected may result in changes in the accretable yield and non-accretable difference or reclassifications between accretable yield and the non-accretable difference. On an aggregate basis, if the acquired pools of PCI loans perform better than originally expected, we would expect to receive more future cash flows than originally modeled at the acquisition date. For the pools with better than expected cash flows, the forecasted increase would be recorded as an additional accretable yield that is recognized as a prospective increase to our interest income on loans.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We determine the fair values of financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Our investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value using reliable and unbiased evaluations by an industry-wide valuation service. This service uses evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable.

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is stated at fair value of the property, less estimated disposal costs, if any. Any excess of cost over the fair value less costs to sell at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The fair value is reviewed periodically by management and any writedowns are charged against current earnings. Accounting policy and treatment is consistent with accounting for impaired loans described above.

 

LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates

 

Following the announcement by the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) after 2021, central banks and regulators around the world have commissioned working groups to find suitable replacements for Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) and other benchmark rates and to implement financial benchmark reforms more generally. These actions have resulted in uncertainty regarding the use of alternative reference rates (ARRs) and could cause disruptions in a variety of markets, as well as adversely impact our business, operations and financial results.

 

To facilitate an orderly transition from IBORs and other benchmark rates to ARRs, the Company has established an enterprise-wide initiative led by senior management. The objective of this initiative is to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including LIBOR, achieve operational readiness and engage impacted clients in connection with the transition to ARRs.

 

Financial Overview

 

During 2019, we have continued to expand our market area through organic growth and have continued leveraging our recent acquisition of Colombo, as well as capitalizing on market disruption as a result of recent merger activity.

 

·                  Total assets increased to $1.57 billion compared to $1.35 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, an increase of $213.6 million, or 15.8%.

 

·                  Total loans, net of deferred fees, increased $106.7 million, or 9.4%, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. Nonperforming loans, including loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as a percentage of total assets was 0.67% at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2018.  Nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans and other real estate owned, as a percentage of total assets was 0.91% and 0.55%, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

·                  Total deposits increased $155.3 million, or 13.4%, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019.

 

·                  Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2019 was $12.03, an increase from $10.93 at December 31, 2018 and $10.81 at September 30, 2018.

 

·                  Net income was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.4 million for the same period of 2018.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, net income was $12.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

 

Results of Operations—Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Overview

 

We recorded net income of $4.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $3.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were impacted by merger-related expenses totaling $274 thousand relating to our acquisition of Colombo. Excluding these merger-related expenses, we would have recorded net income of $3.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Net interest income increased $2.2 million to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a result of an increase in interest-earning assets through organic growth and acquisition. Provision for loan losses was $235 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $351 thousand for the same period of 2018. Noninterest income decreased $68 thousand to $680 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $748 thousand for 2018, primarily a result of a decrease in loan swap fee income during the third quarter of 2019. Noninterest expense was $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $5.9 million for the same three month period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in

The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 1.10% and 1.18%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 9.46% and 12.23%, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses, the annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 1.11% and 9.54%, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses, the annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 1.27% and 13.13%, respectively. Merger related expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019 are primarily related to early contract termination costs that occurred during those periods as a result of data lines used and then ultimately converted to the Company’s existing infrastructure during the third quarter of 2019.  For a reconciliation of these performance metrics as adjusted for the merger-related expenses, please refer to “Reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP) to Operating Earnings (Non-GAAP)” below.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, net income was $12.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively.  Earnings per share on a diluted basis was $0.82 and $0.78 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were impacted by merger-related expenses of $133 thousand and $671 thousand, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses, we recorded net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaling $12.2 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaling $10.0 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share. Merger related expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are primarily related to early contract termination costs that occurred during those periods as a result of data lines used and then ultimately converted to the Company’s existing infrastructure during the third quarter of 2019.  For a reconciliation of our earnings as adjusted for the merger-related expenses, please refer to “Reconciliation of Net Income (GAAP) to Operating Earnings (Non-GAAP)” below.

 

Net interest income increased $8.2 million to $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a result of an increase in interest-earning assets. Provision for loan losses was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $990 thousand for the same period of 2018.  Noninterest income was $2.0 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in noninterest income was primarily related to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income for 2019 as compared to 2018, primarily a result of the increase in the customer base from the acquisition of Colombo.  Noninterest expense was $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $17.0 million for the same nine month period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense for additions to staffing over the past year and occupancy and data processing expenses all a result of our acquisition of Colombo.

 

The annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 1.13% and 1.15%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 9.65% and 12.09%, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses, the annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 1.14% and 9.73%, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses, the annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 1.22% and 12.81%, respectively.

(1)         Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances and do not have a material effect on the average yield.  Interest income on nonaccruing loans was not material for the periods presented. Net loan fees and late charges included in interest income on loans totaled $314 thousand and $135 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(2)         The average yields for investment securities are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis at a rate of 22.5% for 2019 and 21% for 2018.

 

The level of net interest income is affected primarily by variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in interest rates. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below for further information. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned from our interest-earning assets and interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $12.1 million, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $2.2 million, or 22.4%. The increase in net interest income was primarily a result of an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets related to organic growth during 2019 compared to 2018 in addition to the earning assets acquired from Colombo. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 22 basis points to 4.84% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 4.62% for the same period of 2018. Offsetting this increase in yield was a 41 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities reflecting increasing rates on interest-bearing deposits.

 

Our net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 3.41% and 3.54%, respectively. The decrease in our net interest margin was primarily a result of an increase in rate on our interest-bearing

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is a financial measure that we believe provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. To derive our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use our statutory tax rates for the periods presented. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The following table provides a reconciliation of our GAAP net interest income to our tax equivalent net interest income.

Average interest-earning assets increased by 26.0% to $1.41 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.12 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2018, which resulted in an increase in total interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $4.1 million, to $17.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in our earning assets was primarily driven by an increase in the average volume of loans receivable of $281.4 million, which contributed to an additional $3.4 million in interest income. This increase in interest income was enhanced by an increase in yields earned on the loan portfolio which increased interest income $493 thousand. Average balances of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans, are included in the net interest margin calculation and did not have a material impact on our net interest margin in 2019 and 2018.

 

Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $208.8 million to $965.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $756.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $32.6 million to $278.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $245.7 million for the same period in 2018. The largest increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances was in our interest checking, which increased $73.4 million compared to 2018. Average wholesale deposits increased $2.0 million to $67.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $65.4 million for the third quarter of 2018. This change in the mix of our interest-bearing liabilities, in addition to the increases in the targeted fed funds rate during 2018 which held at that level until July 2019, have contributed to the increase in our cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from 1.36% for the same period in 2018. The cost of other borrowed funds, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and our subordinated notes, decreased 149 basis points to 4.51% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from 6.00% for the same period in 2018.  The decrease in the cost of other borrowed funds was a result of an FHLB advance recorded during the third quarter of 2019 with a rate of 1.88%.

 

The following table presents average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yield earned and rates paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $36.2 million, compared to $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $8.2 million, or 29.4%. The increase in net interest income was primarily a result of an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets related to organic growth during 2019 compared to 2018 in addition to the earnings assets acquired from Colombo. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 37 basis points to 4.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 4.51% for the same period of 2018, a result of the increased rate environment earlier in the year. Offsetting this increase in yield was a 44 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily reflecting increasing rates of interest-bearing deposits.

Average interest-earning assets increased by 27.3% to $1.37 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.07 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which resulted in an increase in total interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $13.7 million, to $50.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $36.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in our earning assets was primarily driven by an increase in the average volume of loans receivable of $268.0 million, which contributed to an additional $9.7 million in interest income. This increase in interest income was enhanced by an increase in yields earned on the loan portfolio which increased interest income $3.0 million. Average balances of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans, are included in the net interest margin calculation and did not have a material impact on our net interest margin in 2019 and 2018.

 

Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $203.4 million to $948.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $744.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $42.9 million to $259.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $216.4 million for the same period in 2018. The largest increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances was in our interest checking, which increased $95.9 million compared to 2018. Average wholesale deposits decreased $15.7 million to $76.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $92.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This change in the mix of our interest-bearing liabilities, in addition to the increases in the targeted fed funds rate during 2018 which held at that level until July 2019, have contributed to the increase in our cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from 1.26% for the same period in 2018. The cost of other borrowed funds, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and our subordinated notes, decreased 44 basis points to 5.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from 5.61% for the same period in 2018. The decrease in the cost of other borrowed funds was a result of an FHLB advance recorded during the third quarter of 2019 with a rate of 1.88%.

 

Provision Expense and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents our best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Both the amount of the provision and the level of the allowance for loan losses are impacted by many factors, including general and industry-specific economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, historical trends and specific conditions of individual borrowers.

 

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $235 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a provision for loan losses of $351 thousand for the same period of 2018, which primarily reflects our increase in loan origination volume while maintaining a low level of problem loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, provisions for loan losses was $1.3 million and $990 thousand, respectively.  Specific reserves decreased $6 thousand and increased $20 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, a result of the liquidation analysis completed for impaired loans for the third quarter of 2019.  See “Asset Quality” below for additional information on the credit quality of the loan portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2019 was $10.1 million compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 2018. Our allowance for loan loss ratio as a percent of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, for each of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was 0.81%.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income includes service charges on deposits and loans, loan swap fee income, and income from our BOLI policies, and continues to supplement our operating results. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $680 thousand and $748 thousand, respectively. Fee income from fees on loans, service charges on deposits, and other fee income was $479 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 24.9%, as compared to the same quarter of 2018, a result of a decrease in loan swap fee income recorded during the third quarter of 2019.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, noninterest income was $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Included in noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is fee income from loan swap activity totaling $408 thousand compared to $430 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  We anticipate that loan swap fee income will decrease from prior levels as a result of the current yield curve environment.  Fee income from fees on loans, service charges on deposits, and other fee income was $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 32.0%, as compared to the same period of 2018, a result of an increase in customer relationships over the past year.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense includes, among other things, salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, professional fees, data processing, insurance and miscellaneous expenses. Noninterest expense was $7.4 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Salaries and benefits expense increased $858 thousand to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in salaries and benefits expense is primarily related to increases in

our business development and back office personnel to support our growth plans and staffing we retained from our acquisition of Colombo. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $291 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 as a result of the increase in locations following the completion of our acquisition of Colombo.  All other increases in noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018 are primarily related to the supporting the larger organization following the Colombo acquisition and continued organic growth.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, noninterest expense was $21.5 million and $17.0 million, respectively. Salaries and benefits expense increased $2.5 million in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the aforementioned increase in staffing. All other increases in noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are primarily related to supporting the larger organization following the Colombo acquisition and continued organic bank growth.

 

During the third quarter of 2019, as a result of the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund exceeding 1.38% of insured deposits at June 30, 2019, we recorded a small bank assessment credit of $111,000.  Any additional small bank assessment credit we receive in the future will be equally immaterial to our earnings.

 

Income Taxes

 

We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $942 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 20.9%, compared to 21.8% for the same period of 2018. Our effective tax rate for the each of the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was less than the statutory rate because of discrete tax benefits recorded as a result of exercises of nonqualified stock options during 2019 and 2018.  For the nine months ended September 2019 and 2018, provision for tax expense was $3.3 million and $2.0 million respectively. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 21.3% and 17.6%, respectively.  For 2019, our effective tax rate is expected to be greater than the statutory federal rate as a result of our operating in additional states following the Colombo acquisition and minimal tax-exempt income.  Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is less than the statutory rate primarily because of discrete tax benefits recorded as a result of exercises of nonqualified stock options during 2018.

 

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

 

Overview

 

At September 30, 2019, total assets were $1.57 billion, an increase of 15.8%, or $213.6 million, from $1.35 billion at December 31, 2018. Total loans receivable, net of deferred fees and costs, increased 9.4%, or $106.7 million, to $1.24 billion at September 30, 2019, from $1.14 billion at December 31, 2018. Total investment securities increased $11.2 million, or 9.0%, to $136.5 million at September 30, 2019, from $125.3 million at December 31, 2018. Total deposits increased 13.4%, or $155.3 million, to $1.32 billion at September 30, 2019, from $1.16 billion at December 31, 2018. From time to time, we may utilize other borrowed funds such as federal funds purchased and FHLB advances as an additional funding source for the Bank. At September 30, 2019, we had FHLB advances totaling $15.0 million compared to none at December 31, 2018.

 

Loans Receivable, Net

 

Total loans receivable, net of deferred fees and costs, were $1.24 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $106.7 million, or 9.4%, compared to $1.14 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase in the loans receivable portfolio was a result of organic loan growth primarily in our commercial real estate and commercial construction portfolios.

 

Commercial real estate loans totaled $759.5 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $683.6 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $75.9 million, or 11.1%.  Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were $174.1 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $160.6 million at December 31, 2018.  Nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans were $513.4 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $452.2 million at December 31, 2018.  Construction loans totaled $215.8 million at September 30, 2019, or 17.3% of total loans receivable.  Of the $215.8 million in construction loans, $48.6 million are collateralized by land and only $793 thousand are lot acquisition and development loans (which have a higher degree of credit risk than the remaining portion of the construction portfolio).  Our commercial real estate portfolio including construction loans is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration.  We plan to manage this portion of our portfolio in a disciplined manner.  We have comprehensive policies to monitor, measure, and mitigate our loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring and administrative practices.

 

The following table presents the composition of our loans receivable portfolio at September 30, 2019 and at December 31, 2018.

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and OREO at September 30, 2019 were $14.3 million compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2018. Nonperforming loans of $1.2 million are from our acquired loan portfolio.  Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.91% at September 30, 2019 compared to 0.55% at December 31, 2018. Nonperforming loans increased $7.2 million and are primarily commercial real estate loans, three of which are acquired loans that have a specific reserve of $71 thousand at September 30, 2019.  Loans that we have classified as nonperforming are a result of customer specific deterioration mostly financial in nature that are not a result of economic, industry, or environmental causes that we might see as a pattern for possible future losses within our loan portfolio.  For each of our criticized assets, we conduct an impairment analysis to determine the level of additional or specific reserves required for any portion of the loan that may result in a loss.  As a result of the analysis completed, we have specific reserves totaling $392 thousand and $372 thousand at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  Because these loans are individually evaluated for impairment, nonperforming loans are excluded from the general reserve allocation, which is why our allowance for loan losses as a percentage to total loans remain at 0.81% for both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Loans contractually past-due 90 days or more at September 30, 2019 consist of four loans which have matured and are awaiting final payment and are well-collateralized.  There was one troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs, as of September 30, 2019, which is included in our total of nonaccrual loans and not performing, compared to $203 thousand as of December 31, 2018 which was a performing TDR.

 

We categorize 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, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors.  We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes, larger non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained.  At September 30, 2019, we had $24.1 million in loans identified as special mention within the originated loan portfolio, an increase of $15.5 million from December 31, 2018.  Special mention rated loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention; however, the borrower continues to pay in accordance with their contract.  The increase from December 31, 2018 is concentrated in four loans that were added to this risk category during the second quarter of 2019.  These loans are not considered impaired, do not have a specific reserve, and are considered well-secured.  At September 30, 2019, we had $9.6 million in loans identified as substandard within the originated loan portfolio, an increase of $6.8 million from December 31, 2018. Substandard rated loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and

paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  For each of these substandard loans, a liquidation analysis is completed.  As of September 30, 2019, specific reserves on originated and acquired loans totaling $392 thousand, has been allocated within the allowance for loan losses to supplement any shortfall of collateral.

 

We recorded annualized net charge-offs to average loans receivable of 0.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, all of which were related to loans we purchased from a finance company for our consumer unsecured loan portfolio, and therefore were not originally underwritten by the Bank.   We recorded annualized net charge-offs to average loans receivable of 0.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The following tables provide additional information on our asset quality for the periods presented.

At September 30, 2019, there were no performing loans considered potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans that are not included in the 90 day past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes management to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured loan categories. At December 31, 2018, we had one potential problem loan with a balance totaling $123 thousand. We have taken a conservative approach with respect to risk rating loans in our portfolio. Based upon the status as a potential problem loan, these loans receive heightened scrutiny and ongoing intensive risk management. Additionally, our loan loss allowance methodology incorporates increased reserve factors for certain loans that are adversely rated but not impaired as compared to the general portfolio.

 

At September 30, 2019, we had one OREO property with a fair value of $3.9 million. We are in the process of selling this property and do not expect a material gain or loss from the current fair value of the property as we recorded a $1.1 million gain on the foreclosure of the property during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

While our loan growth has continued to be strong, unexpected changes in economic growth could adversely affect our loan portfolio, including causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which would adversely impact our charge-offs and provision for loan losses. Deterioration in real estate values, employment data and household incomes may also result in higher credit losses for us. Also, in the ordinary course of business, we may also be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular industry, counterparty, borrower or issuer. At September 30, 2019, our commercial real estate portfolio (including construction lending) was 78.3% of our total loan portfolio. A deterioration in the financial condition or prospects of a particular industry or a failure or downgrade of, or default by, any particular entity or group of entities could negatively impact our business, perhaps materially, and the systems by which we set limits and monitor the level of our credit exposure to individual entities and industries, may not function as we have anticipated.

 

See “Critical Accounting Policies” above for more information on our allowance for loan losses methodology.

 

The following tables present additional information pertaining to the activity in and allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type and the percentage of the loan type to the total loan portfolio. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses to a category of loans is not necessarily indicative of future losses or charge-offs, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to any specific category of loans.

Investment Securities

 

Our investment securities portfolio is used as a source of income and liquidity. The investment portfolio consists of investment securities available-for-sale, investment securities held-to-maturity and certificates of deposit. Investment securities available-for-sale are those securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily until maturity. These securities are carried at fair value and may be sold as part of an asset/liability strategy, liquidity management or regulatory capital management. Investment securities held-to-maturity at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $264 thousand and $1.8 million, respectively, and are those securities that we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of our investment securities available-for-sale was $136.3 million at September 30, 2019, an increase of $12.7 million or 10.3%, from $123.5 million at December 31, 2018. We purchased $16.5 million in available-for-sale investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to reinvest some of the $14.9 million in cash flows provided by mortgage-backed securities redemptions.  We also had commitments to purchase an additional $8.2 million in investment securities at September 30, 2019.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the majority of the investment securities portfolio consisted of securities rated AAA by a leading rating agency. Investment securities which carry a AAA rating are judged to be of the best quality and carry the smallest degree of investment risk. All of our mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by either the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Government National Mortgage Association. Investment securities that were pledged to secure public deposits totaled $12.0 million and $8.1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

We complete reviews for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly. At September 30, 2019 and  December 31, 2018, only investment grade securities were in an unrealized loss position. Investment securities with unrealized losses are a result of pricing changes due to recent and negative conditions in the current market environment and not as a result of permanent credit impairment. Contractual cash flows for the agency mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government. Municipal securities have third party protective elements and there are no negative indications that the contractual cash flows will not be received when due. We do not intend to sell nor do we believe we will be required to sell any of our temporarily impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

 

No other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized for the securities in our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

We hold restricted investments in equities of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, or FRB, and FHLB. At September 30, 2019, we owned $1.9 million in FHLB stock and $4.0 million in FRB stock. At December 31, 2018, we owned $1.1 million in FHLB stock and $4.0 million in FRB stock.

Deposits and Other Borrowed Funds

 

Total deposits were $1.32 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $155.3 million, or 13.4%, from $1.16 billion at December 31, 2018. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $294.8 million at September 30, 2019, comprising 22.4% of total deposits and increased $61.5 million, or 26.4%, compared to December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019, deposits from municipalities which are secured by a letter of credit issued by the FHLB and a portion of our investment securities portfolio, represented 9.0% of our total deposits. Deposits of any individual municipality are generally limited to 5% of total assets and in the aggregate, municipalities are limited to 18% of total assets. Some of these customers utilize our treasury management services, and all maintain deposits of varying types and maturities. As such, we believe that these customers are unlikely to abruptly terminate their relationship with us. However, in the event that we were to lose all or a significant portion of the deposits of one or more of these customers, we believe that we have adequate alternative sources of liquidity to enable us to replace these funds, although the cost of such replacement sources of liquidity could be higher.

 

The following table provides information on our deposit composition at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Wholesale deposits decreased to $73.0 million at September 30, 2019 from $84.4 million at December 31, 2018. In addition, we are a member of the Promontory Interfinancial Network, or Promontory, which gives us the ability to offer Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS, and Insured Cash Sweep, or ICS, products to our customers who seek to maximize FDIC insurance protection. When a customer places a large deposit with us for Promontory, funds are placed into certificates of deposit or other deposit products with other banks in the CDARS and ICS networks in increments of less than $250 thousand so that principal and interest are eligible for FDIC insurance protection. These deposits are part of our core deposit base. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $126.5 million and $88.7 million, respectively, in either CDARS reciprocal or ICS reciprocal products. The following table reports those certificates of deposit that exceed $100,000 by maturity as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Capital Resources

 

Capital adequacy is an important measure of financial stability and performance. Our objectives are to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to sustain asset growth and promote depositor and investor confidence.

 

Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy utilizing a formula that takes into account the individual risk profile of the financial institution. The minimum capital requirements are: (i) a common equity Tier 1, or CET1, capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total risk based capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. Additionally, a capital conservation buffer requirement of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and is applicable to our CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios. Including the conservation buffer, we currently consider our minimum capital ratios to be as follows: 7.00% for CET1; 8.50% for Tier 1 capital; and 10.50% for Total capital. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation. Recently enacted legislation directs the federal bank regulatory agencies to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio,” calculated by dividing tangible equity capital by average consolidated total assets, of not less than 8% and not more than 10%. In November 2018, the federal banking agencies proposed a Community Bank Leverage Ratio of 9%. If a “qualified community bank,” generally a depository institution or depository institution holding company with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, has a leverage ratio which exceeds the Community Bank Leverage Ratio, then such bank will be considered to have met all generally applicable leverage and risk based capital requirements, the capital ratio requirements for “well capitalized” status under Section 38 of the FDIA, and any other leverage or capital requirements to which it is subject. A bank or holding company may be excluded from qualifying community bank status base on its risk profile, including consideration of its off-balance sheet exposures; trading assets and liabilities; total notional derivatives exposures and such other facts as the appropriate federal banking agencies determine to be appropriate. Even if the Company and Bank qualify for use of the Community Bank Leverage Ratio, there can be no assurance that satisfaction of the Community Bank Leverage Ratio will provide adequate capital for their operations and growth, or an adequate cushion against increase levels of nonperforming assets or weakened economic conditions.

 

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2019 was $175.1 million, an increase of $16.7 million, compared to $158.3 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable the recognition of net income of $12.1 million through September 30, 2019. Common stock issued as a result of option exercises increased shareholders’ equity by $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $3.1 million during 2019, primarily as a result of an increase in market value of our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.

 

Total shareholders’ equity to total assets for September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was 11.2% and 11.7%, respectively. Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $12.03 and $10.93, respectively. Total risk-based

capital to risk-weighted assets for the Bank was 13.40% at September 30, 2019 compared to 14.02% at December 31, 2018. Accordingly, we were considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

As noted above, regulatory capital levels for the Bank meet those established for “well capitalized” institutions. While we are currently considered “well capitalized,” we may from time to time find it necessary to access the capital markets to meet our growth objectives or capitalize on specific business opportunities.

 

As the Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets, and which does not (i) conduct significant off balance sheet activities, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, and (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), it is not currently subject to risk-based capital requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve, which are substantially identical to those applicable to the Bank, and which are described below. The Company understands that the Federal Reserve has not historically deemed a bank holding company ineligible for application of the small bank holding company policy statement solely because its common stock is registered under the Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue this practice.

 

The following tables shows the minimum capital requirement and our capital position at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the Bank.

Liquidity

 

Liquidity in the banking industry is defined as the ability to meet the demand for funds of both depositors and borrowers. We must be able to meet these needs by obtaining funding from depositors or other lenders or by converting non-cash items into cash. The objective of our liquidity management program is to ensure that we always have sufficient resources to meet the demands of our depositors and borrowers. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position provide the base for our liquidity position. We believe we have demonstrated our ability to attract deposits because of our convenient branch locations, personal service, technology and pricing.

 

In addition to deposits, we have access to the different wholesale funding markets. These markets include the brokered certificate of deposit market and the federal funds market. We are a member of the Promontory Interfinancial Network, which allows banking customers to access FDIC insurance protection on deposits through our Bank which exceed FDIC insurance limits. We also have one-way authority with Promontory for both their CDARs and ICS products which provides the Bank the ability to access additional wholesale funding as needed. We also maintain secured lines of credit with the FRB and the FHLB for which we can borrow up to the allowable amount for the collateral pledged. Having diverse funding alternatives reduces our reliance on any one source for funding.

 

Cash flow from amortizing assets or maturing assets also provides funding to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers.

 

We have established a formal liquidity contingency plan which establishes a liquidity management team and provides guidelines for liquidity management. For our liquidity management program, we first determine our current liquidity position and then forecast liquidity based on anticipated changes in the balance sheet. In this forecast, we expect to maintain a liquidity cushion. We also stress test our liquidity position under several different stress scenarios, from moderate to severe. Guidelines for the forecasted liquidity cushion and for liquidity cushions for each stress scenario have been established. We believe that we have sufficient resources to meet our liquidity needs.

 

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale, totaled $248.7 million at September 30, 2019, or 15.9% of total assets, an increase from $167.0 million, or 12.4% at December 31, 2018. The increase in liquid assets is a result of an increase in deposits that occurred late during the third quarter of 2019 and invested in fed funds sold due to the short term nature of these customer deposits.  We held investments that are classified as held-to-maturity in the amount of $264 thousand at September 30, 2019. To maintain ready access to the Bank’s secured lines of credit, the Bank has pledged a portion of its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios to the FHLB and FRB. Additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at September 30, 2019 was approximately $131.5 million. Borrowing capacity with the FRB was approximately $56.8 million at September 30, 2019. These facilities are subject to the FHLB and the Federal Reserve approving disbursement to us. In addition, we have investment securities of $124.3 million which are available to pledge at FHLB to provide additional borrowing capacity if needed. We also have unsecured federal funds purchased lines of $199.0 million available to us. We anticipate maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements.

 

Liquidity is essential to our business. Our liquidity could be impaired by an inability to access the capital markets or by unforeseen outflows of cash, including deposits. This situation may arise due to circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as general market disruption, negative views about the financial services industry generally, or an operational problem that affects a third party or us. Our ability to borrow from other financial institutions on favorable terms or at all could be adversely affected by disruptions in the capital markets or other events. As discussed under the caption “Deposits and Other Borrowed Funds” above, we have a deposit concentration related to municipalities at September 30, 2019. While we believe we have a healthy liquidity position and do not anticipate the loss of deposits of any of the significant deposit customers, any of the factors discussed above could materially impact our liquidity position in the future.

 

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk

 

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

 

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis and require collateral to support financial instruments when deemed necessary. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include deposits held by us, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Table of Contents

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates up to one year or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These instruments represent obligations to extend credit or guarantee borrowings and are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The rates and terms of these instruments are competitive with others in the market in which we do business.

 

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which we have committed.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We hold certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

 

With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, changes in financial condition, revenue, expenses, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to the business of the Company.

 

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit totaled $258.2 million and $216.0 million, respectively. Commercial and standby letters of credit totaled $9.9 million and $9.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a financial institution, we are exposed to various business risks, including interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from volatility in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay loans and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity, changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion, and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR. Our goal is to maximize net interest income without incurring excessive interest rate risk. Management of net interest income and interest rate risk must be consistent with the level of capital and liquidity that we maintain. We manage interest rate risk through an asset and liability committee, or ALCO. ALCO is responsible for managing our interest rate risk in conjunction with liquidity and capital management.

 

We employ an independent consulting firm to model our interest rate sensitivity. We use a net interest income simulation model as our primary tool to measure interest rate sensitivity. Many assumptions are developed based on expected activity in the balance sheet. For maturing assets, assumptions are created for the redeployment of these assets. For maturing liabilities, assumptions are developed for the replacement of these funding sources. Assumptions are also developed for assets and liabilities that could reprice during the modeled time period. These assumptions also cover how we expect rates to change on non-maturity deposits such as interest checking, money market checking, savings accounts as well as certificates of deposit. Based on inputs that include the current balance sheet, the current level of interest rates and the developed assumptions, the model then produces an expected level of net interest income assuming that market rates remain unchanged. This is considered the base case. Next, the model determines what net interest income would be based on specific changes in interest rates. The rate simulations are performed for a two year period and include ramped rate changes of down 100 basis points to 400 basis points and up 100 basis points to 400 basis points. In both the up and down scenarios, the model assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve. The results of these simulations are then compared to the base case.

 

Stress testing the balance sheet and net interest income using instantaneous parallel shock movements in the yield curve of 100 to 400 basis points is a regulatory and banking industry practice. However, these stress tests may not represent a realistic forecast of future interest rate movements in the yield curve. In addition, instantaneous parallel interest rate shock modeling is not a predictor of actual future performance of earnings. It is a financial metric used to manage interest rate risk and track the movement of the Bank’s interest rate risk position over a historical time frame for comparison purposes.

 

At September 30, 2019, our asset/liability position was asset sensitive based on our interest rate sensitivity model. Our net interest income would increase by 1.4% in an up 100 basis point scenario and would increase by 4.6% in an up 400 basis point scenario over a one-year time frame. In the two-year time horizon, our net interest income would increase by 3.5% in an up 100 basis

point scenario and would increase by 10.4% in an up 400 basis point scenario. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all interest rate risk stress tests measures were within our board policy established limits in each of the increased rate scenarios.

 

Additional information on our interest rate sensitivity for a static balance sheet over a one-year time horizon as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 can be found below.

Economic value of equity, or EVE, measures the period end market value of assets less the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. It models simultaneous parallel shifts in market interest rates, implied by the forward yield curve. The EVE model calculates the market value of capital by taking the present value of all asset cash flows less the present value of all liability cash flows.

 

The interest rate risk to capital at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is shown below and reflects that our market value of capital is in a liability position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower market values of capital. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all EVE stress tests measures were within our board policy established limits.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a — 15(e) under the Exchange Act).  As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on and as of the date of such evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are properly recorded. This system is continually reviewed and is augmented by written policies and procedures, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel and an internal audit program to monitor its effectiveness. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
