NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – The Business of Sierra Bancorp

Sierra Bancorp (the “Company”) is a California corporation headquartered in Porterville, California, and is a registered bank holding company under federal banking laws. The Company was formed to serve as the holding company for Bank of the Sierra (the “Bank”), and has been the Bank’s sole shareholder since August 2001. The Company exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of the Bank and of such other subsidiaries it may acquire or establish. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s only other subsidiaries were Sierra Statutory Trust II, Sierra Capital Trust III, and Coast Bancorp Statutory Trust II, which were formed solely to facilitate the issuance of capital trust pass-through securities (“TRUPS”). Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standard on the consolidation of variable interest entities, these trusts are not reflected on a consolidated basis in the Company’s financial statements. References herein to the “Company” include Sierra Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiary, the Bank, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Bank of the Sierra, a California state-chartered bank headquartered in Porterville, California, offers a wide range of retail and commercial banking services via branch offices located throughout California’s South San Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast, Ventura County, the Sacramento area, and neighboring communities. The Bank was incorporated in September 1977, and opened for business in January 1978 as a one-branch bank with $1.5 million in capital. Our growth in the ensuing years has largely been organic in nature, but includes four whole-bank acquisitions: Sierra National Bank in 2000, Santa Clara Valley Bank in 2014, Coast National Bank in 2016, and Ojai Community Bank in October 2017. As of the filing date of this report the Bank operates 35 full-service branches and an online branch, and maintains ATMs at all but one of our branch locations as well as at seven non-branch locations. Moreover, the Bank has specialized lending units which focus on agricultural borrowers, commercial real estate, and mortgage warehouse lending. In addition, in February 2020 the Bank opened a loan production office which is currently located in Roseville, CA. To support organic growth in the agricultural lending sector the Bank also opened a loan production office in Templeton, CA in April 2022. The Company had total assets of $3.7 billion at March 31, 2023, and for a number of years we have claimed the distinction of being the largest bank headquartered in the South San Joaquin Valley. The Bank’s deposit accounts, which totaled $2.9 billion at March 31, 2023, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to maximum insurable amounts.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as allowed under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Therefore, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete, audited financial statements as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such periods. Such adjustments can generally be considered as normal and recurring unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, Management has taken subsequent events into consideration, through May 5, 2023 and recognized them where appropriate. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other quarter, or for the full year. Certain amounts reported for 2022 have been reclassified to be consistent with the reporting for 2023, none of which impacted net income or shareholders’ equity. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Note 3 – Current Accounting Developments

In September 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold for credit losses in current U.S. GAAP, and instead requires an organization to record an estimate of expected credit losses over the

Table of Contents

contractual term for financial assets carried at amortized cost (generally loans and held-to-maturity investment securities) in addition to certain off balance-sheet credit exposure. Under the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology expected credit losses for financial assets are estimated over the contractual life of the financial asset, adjusted for expected prepayments, considering historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, under CECL the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities is addressed through an allowance for credit losses which is a change from legacy GAAP which previously required the direct write-down of securities through the other-than-temporary impairment approach. The Company implemented CECL on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach to estimate lifetime expected losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost in addition to certain off balance sheet credit exposures. The January 1, 2022, increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses, of $9.5 million on loans and $0.9 million in off balance sheet credit exposures, net of the impact of deferred taxes, was reflected in a transition adjustment of $7.3 million to retained earnings. There was no cumulative effect adjustment related to our available-for-sale investment portfolio upon adoption and the Company had no securities designated as held-to-maturity as of January 1, 2022.

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position for which management has an intent to sell the security or considers it more likely-than-not that the security in question will be sold prior to a recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security will be written down to fair value through a direct charge to income. For the remainder of available sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, which don’t meet the previously outlined criteria, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value is a reflection of credit deterioration or other factors. In performing this evaluation, management considers the extent which fair value has fallen below amortized cost, changes in ratings by rating agencies, and other information indicating a deterioration in repayment capacity of either the underlying issuer or the borrowers providing repayment capacity in a securitization. If management’s evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists then a present value of the expected cash flows is calculated and compared to the amortized cost basis of the security in question and to the degree that the amortized cost basis exceeds the present value an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) is established, with the caveat that the maximum amount of the reserve on any individual security is the difference between the fair value and amortized cost balance of the security in question. Any unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.

On April 1, 2022 the Company transferred $162.1 million of Agency, Mortgaged-Backed and Municipal securities from available-for-sale to held-to maturity. On October 1, 2022, a similar transfer of $198.3 million securities from available for sale to held-to-maturity was completed. Because of the implicit and explicit guarantees of the Federal Government on the Agency and Mortgage-Backed securities there is no expectation of future losses on any of these securities. The Bank’s municipal bonds moved to the held-to-maturity designation all have credit ratings considered investment grade or equivalent. A discounted-cash-flow reserve calculation was performed upon the transfer of these securities into the held-to-maturity designation and is updated on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2023, an allowance for credit losses of $0.06 million had been established on the Bank’s held-to-maturity portfolio which remained unchanged from December 31, 2022.

In March 2023 the FASB issued, ASU No. 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” ASU 2023-02 is intended to improve the accounting and disclosures for investments in tax credit structures. ASU 2023-02 allows entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. Previously, this method was only available for qualifying tax equity investments in low-income housing tax credit structures. ASU 2023-02 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, though early adoption is permitted, and its adoption is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4 – Share Based Compensation

On March 16, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which became effective May 24, 2017, the date approved by the Company’s shareholders. The 2017 Plan replaced the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which expired by its own terms on March 15, 2017. Options to purchase 134,449 shares that were granted under the 2007 Plan were still outstanding as of March 31,

Table of Contents

2023 and remain unaffected by that plan’s expiration. The 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of both “incentive” and “nonqualified” stock options to officers and employees, and of “nonqualified” stock options to non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. The 2017 Plan also provides for the issuance of restricted stock awards to these same classes of eligible participants. The total number of shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2017 Plan was initially 850,000 shares, and the number remaining available for grant as of March 31, 2023 was 356,420. Options to purchase 402,726 shares granted under the 2017 Plan were outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The potential dilutive impact of unexercised stock options is discussed below in Note 5, Earnings per Share.

Pursuant to FASB’s standards on stock compensation, the value of each stock option and restricted stock award is reflected in our income statement as employee compensation or directors’ expense by amortizing its grant date fair value over the vesting period of the option or award. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to determine grant date fair values for options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Forfeitures are reflected in compensation costs as they occur for both types of awards. A pre-tax charge of $0.4 million was reflected in the Company’s income statement during the first quarter of 2023 and $0.4 million was charged during the first quarter of 2022, as expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards.

Restricted Stock Grants

The Company’s Restricted Stock Awards are awards of either time-vested or performance-based shares. The Restricted Stock Awards are non-transferrable shares of common stock and are available to be granted to the Company’s employees and directors. The vesting period of Restricted Stock Awards is determined at the time the awards are issued, and different awards may have different vesting terms or performance measures; provided, however, that no installment of any Restricted Stock Award shall become vested less than one year from the grant date. Restricted Stock Awards are valued utilizing the fair value of the Company’s stock at the grant date. These awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and consider the probability of meeting the performance criteria. There were 29,064 shares granted to employees of the Company during the first three months of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there was $3.1 million of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the 2017 plan. That cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

The Company’s restricted stock award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is summarized below (unaudited):

Stock Option Grants

The Company has issued equity instruments in the form of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options to certain officers and directors and may continue to do so under the 2017 Plan. The exercise price of each stock option is determined at the time of the grant and may be no less than 100% of the fair market value of such stock at the time the option is granted.

The Company’s stock option activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below (dollars in thousands, except per share data, unaudited):

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2023. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company's stock.

Note 5 – Earnings per Share

The computation of earnings per share, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income, is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. There were 14,971,842 weighted average shares outstanding during the first quarter of 2023 and 15,021,138 during the first quarter of 2022.

Diluted earnings per share calculations include the effect of the potential issuance of common shares, which for the Company is limited to shares that would be issued on the exercise of “in-the-money” stock options, and unvested restricted stock awards. For the first quarter of 2023, calculations under the treasury stock method resulted in the equivalent of 30,524 shares being added to basic weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, while a weighted average of 327,141 stock options were excluded from the calculation because they were underwater and thus anti-dilutive. For the first quarter of 2022 the equivalent of 99,852 shares were added in calculating diluted earnings per share, while 301,714 anti-dilutive stock options were not factored into the computation.

Note 6 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

As presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s only source of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities. Investment gains or losses that were realized and reflected in net income of the current period, which had previously been included in other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized holding gains or losses in the period in which they arose, are considered to be reclassification adjustments that are excluded from other comprehensive income (loss) in the current period.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. Those financial instruments currently consist of unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for originating loans included on the balance sheet. The following financial instruments represent off-balance-sheet credit risk (dollars in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Commitments to extend credit	$	699,176	$	889,517
Standby letters of credit	$	6,052	$	6,037

Commitments to extend credit consist primarily of the unused or unfunded portions of the following: home equity lines of credit; commercial real estate construction loans, where disbursements are made over the course of construction; commercial revolving lines of credit; mortgage warehouse lines of credit; unsecured personal lines of credit; and formalized (disclosed) deposit account overdraft lines. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the unused portions of committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party, and the credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. Included in unused commitments are mortgage warehouse lines which are mostly in the form of repo lines and are unconditionally cancellable. Unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines were $401.5 million at March 31, 2023 and $594.6 million at December 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the Company was also utilizing a letter of credit in the amount of $127.9 million issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank on the Company’s behalf as security for certain deposits and to facilitate certain credit arrangements with the Company’s customers. That letter of credit is backed by loans which are pledged to the FHLB by the Company.

The Company is subject to loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, which are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

As noted under footnote 3 the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2022 impacted the Company’s ACL on unfunded loan commitments. Additional information is included in footnote 3.

Note 8 – Fair Value Disclosures and Reporting and Fair Value Measurements

FASB’s standards on financial instruments, and on fair value measurements and disclosures, require public business entities to disclose in their financial statement footnotes the estimated fair values of financial instruments. In addition to disclosure requirements, FASB’s standard on investments requires that our debt securities that are classified as available for sale and any equity securities which have readily determinable fair values be measured and reported at fair value in our statement of financial position. Certain individually identified loans are also reported at fair value, as explained in greater detail below, and foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. FASB’s standard on financial instruments permits companies to report certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value, but the Company has not elected the fair value option for any of those financial instruments.

Fair value measurement and disclosure standards also establish a framework for measuring fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on

Table of Contents

the measurement date. Further, the standards establish a fair value hierarchy that encourages an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and limit the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair values. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

●

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

●

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would likely consider in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. Fair value disclosures for deposits include demand deposits, which are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value calculations for loans reflect exit pricing, and incorporate our assumptions with regard to the impact of prepayments on future cash flows and credit quality adjustments based on risk characteristics of various financial instruments, among other things. Since the estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment they cannot be determined with precision, and changes in assumptions could significantly alter the fair values presented.

Estimated fair values for the Company’s financial instruments are as follows, as of the dates noted:

For financial asset categories that were carried on our balance sheet at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions:

●

Investment securities: Fair values are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities by relying on their relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

●

Collateral-dependent loans: Collateral-dependent loans are carried at fair value when foreclosure is probable or repayment is expected through the sale or operation of collateral and borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

●

Foreclosed assets: Repossessed real estate (known as other real estate owned, or “OREO”) and other foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is the appraised value less expected disposition costs for OREO; fair values for any other foreclosed assets are represented by estimated sales proceeds as determined using reasonably available sources. Foreclosed assets for which appraisals can be feasibly obtained are periodically measured for impairment using updated appraisals. Fair values for other foreclosed assets are

Table of Contents

adjusted as necessary, subsequent to a periodic reevaluation of expected cash flows and the timing of resolution. If impairment is determined to exist, the book value of a foreclosed asset is immediately written down to its estimated impaired value through the income statement, thus the carrying amount is equal to the fair value and there is no valuation allowance.

Assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

All of the Company’s collateralized loan obligations with a fair value of $195.7 million as of January 1, 2022 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the first quarter of 2022 because observable market data became available due to a significant increase in trading volume for these securities during that time.

Information on the Company’s total collateral dependent loan balances and specific loss reserves associated with those balances is included in Note 10 below.

Table of Contents

The unobservable inputs are based on Management’s best estimates of appropriate discounts in arriving at fair market value. Adjusting any of those inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. For example, an increase or decrease in actual loss rates would create a directionally opposite change in the fair value of unsecured individually identified loans.

Note 9 – Investments

Investment Securities

Pursuant to FASB’s guidance on accounting for debt securities, available for sale securities are carried on the Company’s financial statements at their estimated fair market values, with monthly tax-effected “mark-to-market” adjustments made vis-à-vis accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried on the Company’s financial statements at their amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses.

The amortized cost, estimated fair value, and allowance for credit losses of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities are as follows:

The Company reassessed classification of certain investments and effective April 1, 2022 the Company transferred $162.1 million of Agency, Mortgaged-Backed and Municipal securities from the available-for-sale designation to the held-to-maturity designation. On October 1, 2022, a similar transfer of $198.3 million securities from available for sale to held-to-maturity was completed. The securities were transferred at their fair value as of the transfer date, with the related unrealized gain or loss as of the date of transfer included in the amortized cost basis of the transferred security and subject to amortization or accretion over each security’s remaining life. An unrealized loss of $30.1 million, on securities transferred from the available-for-sale to held-to-maturity categorization, remains as of March 31, 2023 and is included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The remaining unrealized loss on the securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, will be accreted over the remaining term of the securities, with the amortized-cost basis of these securities and accumulated comprehensive income each increasing over time. A discounted-cash-flow reserve calculation was performed upon the transfer of these securities into the held-to-maturity designation and is updated on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2023, an allowance for credit losses of $0.06 million had been established on the Bank’s held-to-maturity portfolio which remained unchanged from December 31, 2022. All of the Company’s held-to-maturity municipal bonds were AAA, AA, or A rated and have been determined to be investment grade as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) Fund Investments

The Company has the ability to invest in limited partnerships which own housing projects that qualify for federal and/or California state tax credits, by mandating a specified percentage of low-income tenants for each project. The primary investment return comes from tax credits that flow through to investors. Because rent levels are lower than standard market rents and the projects are generally highly leveraged, each project also typically generates tax-deductible operating losses that are allocated to the limited partners for tax purposes.

The Company currently has investments in four different LIHTC fund limited partnerships made in 2014, 2015, and two in 2022, all of which were California-focused funds that help the Company meet its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act. We utilize the cost method of accounting for our LIHTC fund investments, under which we initially record on our balance sheet an asset that represents the total cash expected to be invested over the life of the partnership. Any commitments or contingent commitments for future investment are reflected as a liability. The income statement reflects tax credits and any other tax benefits from these investments “below the line” within our income tax provision, while the initial book value of the investment is amortized on a straight-line basis as an offset to noninterest income, over the time period in which the tax credits and tax benefits are expected to be received.

As of March 31, 2023, our total LIHTC investment book balance was $9.9 million, which includes $7.4 million in remaining commitments for additional capital contributions. There were $0.1 million in tax credits derived from our LIHTC investments that were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and amortization expense of $0.2 million associated with those investments was netted against pre-tax noninterest income for the same time period. Our LIHTC investments are evaluated annually for potential impairment, and we have concluded that the carrying value of the investments is stated fairly and is not impaired.

As of December 31, 2022, our total LIHTC investment book balance was $10.1 million, which includes $7.4 million in remaining commitments for additional capital contributions. There were $0.5 million in tax credits derived from our LIHTC investments that were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022, and amortization expense of $0.5 million associated with those investments was netted against pre-tax noninterest income for the same time period.

Note 10 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

We adopted the new current expected credit loss accounting guidance, CECL, and all related amendments as of January 1, 2022.

Table of Contents

The following table presents loans by class as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accrued interest receivable on loans of $5.2 million and $6.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively is not included in the loans included in the table below but is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheet. The December 31, 2022 balance in 1-4 family closed end loans reflects year-to-date 2022 loan purchases of $173.1 million. The majority of the disclosures in this footnote are prepared at the class level which is equivalent to the call report or call code classification. The final table in this section separates a roll forward of the Allowance for Credit Losses at the portfolio segment level.

During the first quarter of 2023 the amortized cost balance of collateral-dependent loans declined by 18.6 million due to the foreclosure and subsequent sale of Farmland and other Agricultural collateral related to a single borrower, as well as declines resulting from upgrades and payoffs. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio of collateral dependent loans was 17% at March 31, 2023. There were no collateral dependent loans in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2023.

Loan Modifications

The Company may agree to different types of concessions when modifying a loan. There were no modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, including principal forgiveness, rate reductions, payment deferral, or term extension, during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no new TDRs and no modifications of existing TDRs.

The Company monitors the credit quality of loans on a continuous basis using the regulatory and accounting classifications of pass, special mention and substandard to characterize and qualify the associated credit risk. Loans classified as “loss” are immediately charged-off. The Company uses the following definitions of risk classifications:

Table of Contents

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 the 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 those loans with clear and well-defined weaknesses such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial operating results and/or trends, or uncertain repayment sources or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize ultimate recoverability of the debt.

The following tables present the amortized cost of loans by credit quality classification in addition to loan vintage as of March 31, 2023:

CECL replaces the legacy accounting for loans designated as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) with loans designated as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”). PCD loans are loans acquired or purchased, which as of acquisition, had evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. Due to the immaterial balance in the Company’s PCI loans as of December 31, 2021 management elected not to transition these loans into the PCD designation. As of March 31, 2023 the Company had no loans categorized as PCD.

As noted in footnote 3, on January 1, 2022 the Company implemented CECL and increased our ACL, previously the allowance for loan losses, with a $9.5 million cumulative adjustment. The Company’s ACL is calculated quarterly, with any difference in the calculated ACL and the recorded ACL trued-up through an entry to the provision for credit losses. Management calculates the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves for all loan categories, with the exception of Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer loans, using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology. For purposes of calculating the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated reserves on Farmland, Agricultural Production, and Consumer categories a Remaining Life methodology is utilized. For purposes of estimating the Company’s ACL, Management generally evaluates collectively evaluated loans by Federal Call code in order to group loans with similar risk characteristics together, however management has grouped loans in selected call codes together in determining portfolio segments, due to similar risk characteristics and reserve methodologies used for certain call code classifications.

The DCF quantitative reserve methodology incorporates the consideration of probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) estimates to estimate periodic losses. The PD estimates are derived through the application of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to call code specific regression models, derived from the consideration of historical bank-specific and peer loss-rate data. The loss rate data has been regressed against benchmark economic indicators, for which reasonable and supportable forecasts exist, in the development of the call-code specific regression models. Regression models are generally refreshed on an annual basis, in order to pull in more recent loss rate data. Reasonable and supportable forecasts of the selected economic metric are then input into the regression model to calculate an expected default rate. The expected default rates are then applied to expected monthly loan balances estimated through the consideration of contractual repayment terms and expected prepayments. The Company utilizes a four-quarter forecast period, after which the expected default rates revert to the historical average for each call code, over a four-quarter reversion period, on a straight-line basis. The prepayment assumptions applied to expected cash flow over the contractual life of the loans are estimated based on historical, bank-specific experience, peer data and the consideration of current and expected conditions and circumstances including the level of interest rates. The prepayment assumptions may be updated by Management in the event that changing conditions impact Management’s estimate or additional historical data gathered has resulted in the need for a reevaluation. LGD utilized in the DCF is derived from the application of the Frye-Jacobs theory which relates LGD to PD based on historical peer data, as calculated by a third-party. Economic forecasts are considered over a four-quarter forecast period, with reversion to mean occurring on a straight-line basis over four quarters. The call code regression models utilized upon implementation of CECL on January 1, 2022, and as of March 31, 2023, were identical, and relied upon reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment Rate. Management selected the National Unemployment Rate as the driver of quantitative portion of collectively reserves on loan classes reliant upon the DCF methodology, primarily as a result of high correlation coefficients identified in regression modeling, the availability of forecasts including the quarterly FOMC forecast, and given the widespread familiarity of stakeholders with this economic metric.

The quantitative reserves for Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer loans are calculated using a Remaining Life methodology where average historical bank specific and peer loss rates are applied to expected loan balances over an estimated remaining life of loans in calculation of the quantitative portion of collectively evaluated loans in these classes. The estimated remaining life is calculated using historical bank-specific loan attrition data. For the Farmland, Agricultural Production and Consumer classes of loans, reasonable and supportable forecasts of the National Unemployment rate, real GDP and the housing price index are considered through estimation of qualitative reserves.

Management recognizes that there are additional factors impacting risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond what is captured in the quantitative portion of reserves on collectively evaluated loans. As current and expected conditions, may vary compared with conditions over the historical lookback period, which is utilized in the calculation of quantitative reserves, management considers whether additional or reduced reserve levels on collectively evaluated loans may be warranted given the consideration of a variety of qualitative factors. Several of the following qualitative factors (“Q-

Table of Contents

factors”) considered by management reflect the legacy regulatory guidance on Q-factors, whereas several others represent factors unique to the Company or unique to the current time period.

●

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices

●

Changes in international, regional and local economic and business conditions, and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, as reflected in forecasts of the Housing Price Index, Real GDP and the National Unemployment Rate (Farmland & Agricultural Production and Consumer segments only)

●

Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio

●

Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff

●

Changes in the volume and severity of past due, non-accruals loans, and adversely classified loans, as reflected in changes of the relative level of loans classified as substandard and special mention

●

Changes in the quality of the Bank’s loan review processes

●

Changes in the value of underlying collateral for loans not identified as collateral dependent

●

Changes in loan categorization concentrations

●

Other external factors, which include, the influence of peer data on estimated quantitative reserves, residual COVID-19 related risk, expected impact of current and expected inflationary environment, reliance on the National Unemployment rate as opposed to the California unemployment rate in the calculation of quantitative reserves, the expected impact of current and expected geo-political conditions

The qualitative portion of the Company’s reserves on collectively evaluated loans are calculated using a combination of numeric frameworks and management judgement, to determine risk categorizations in each of the Q-factors presented above. The amount of qualitative reserves is also contingent upon the historical peer, life-of-loan-equivalent, loss rate ranges and the relative weighting of Q-factors according to management’s judgement.

Although collectively evaluated reserves are generally calculated separately at the call code or loan class level, management has grouped loan classes with similar risk characteristics into the following portfolio segments: 1-4 Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Farmland & Agricultural Production, Commercial & Industrial, Mortgage Warehouse and Consumer loans. Loans secured by 1-4 family residences have a different profile from loans secured by Commercial Real Estate. Generally, the borrowers for 1-4 Family loans are consumers whereas borrowers for Commercial Real Estate are often businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated how these different categories of real estate loans were subject to different risks, which was exacerbated by the widespread work-from-home model adopted by many companies during and since the pandemic. Farmland and Agricultural Production loans are included in a single segment as these loans are often times to the same borrowers, facing the same risks relating to commodity prices, water supply and drought conditions in addition to other environmental concerns. Commercial & Industrial loans are separated into a unique segment given the uniqueness of these loans, which are often revolving and secured by other business assets as opposed to real estate. Mortgage warehouse loans are also unique in the Company’s portfolio and warrant separate presentation as an individual portfolio segment, given the specific nature of these constantly revolving lines to mortgage originators and also attributable to a very limited loss history, even after consideration of peer data. Finally, the Company splits out Consumer loans as a separate segment as a result of the small balance, homogeneous terms that characterize these loans.

Management individually evaluates loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans when estimating reserves. As of March 31, 2023, the only loans that Management considered to have different risk characteristics from other loans sharing the same Federal Call Report code were loans designated nonaccrual.

Note 11 – Goodwill

The following table discloses changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Bank of the Sierra (the “Bank”) is the only subsidiary of the Company that meets the materiality criteria necessary to be deemed an operating segment, and because the Company exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of the Bank we have determined that only one unified operating segment or reporting unit (the consolidated Company) exists. The fair value of the consolidated Company is its market capitalization, as determined by quoted prices in active markets, plus a sales control premium, as determined by analyzing recent mergers and acquisitions. If the Company’s market capitalization plus a control premium exceeds recorded shareholders’ equity (the book value), it can be reasonably presumed that no impairment exists. Therefore, it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no impairment at March 31, 2023.

Note 13 – Revenue Recognition

The Company utilizes the guidance found in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), when accounting for certain noninterest income. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which

Table of Contents

the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Sufficient information should be provided to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company’s revenue streams that are within the scope of and accounted for under Topic 606 include service charges on deposit accounts, debit card interchange fees, and fees levied for other services the Company provides its customers. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and investments, and other noninterest income such as loan servicing fees and earnings on bank-owned life insurance, which are accounted for on an accrual basis under other provisions of GAAP.

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized when incurred as noninterest income and gains on the sale of OREO which is classified as noninterest expense. These gains were immaterial for both of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The following table presents the Company’s sources of noninterest income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such (dollars in thousands, unaudited).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial information and disclosures contained within those statements are significantly impacted by Management’s estimates and judgments, which are based on historical experience and incorporate various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates under divergent conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, and have the greatest potential impact on the Company’s stated results of operations. In Management’s opinion, the Company’s critical accounting policies deal with the following areas:

●

the establishment of the allowance for credit losses, as explained in detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements and in the “Provision for Credit Losses” and “Allowance for Credit Losses” sections of this discussion and analysis;

●

the valuation of individually evaluated loans and foreclosed assets, as discussed in Notes 8 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements;

●

income taxes and related deferred tax assets and liabilities, especially with regard to the ability of the Company to recover deferred tax assets as discussed in the “Provision for Income Taxes” and “Other Assets” sections of this discussion and analysis; and

●

goodwill and other intangible assets, which are evaluated annually for impairment and for which we have determined that no impairment exists, as discussed in the “Other Assets” section of this discussion and analysis.

Critical accounting areas are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Company’s financial statements incorporate our most recent expectations regarding those areas.

OVERVIEW OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SUMMARY

First Quarter 2023 compared to First Quarter 2022

First quarter 2023 net income was $8.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022. The Company’s annualized return on average equity was 11.53% and annualized return on average assets was 0.97% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to 8.64% and 0.88%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2022. The primary drivers behind the variance in first quarter net income are as follows:

●

Net interest income increased $3.4 million or 14%. This was due mostly to an $11.3 million increase in interest income partially offset by an $8.0 million increase in interest expense. There was an increase in investment securities which contributed $9.6 million to the favorable interest income variance. This increase in investments primarily consisted of floating rate collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which contributed to $6.9 million or 61.0% of the interest income favorable variance, partially offset by an unfavorable increase in interest expense due to a shift of deposit balances into higher cost time certificates and an increase in borrowed funds.

●

Noninterest income increased $0.5 million or 9% primarily due to $0.3 million gain on life insurance proceeds, $0.3 million in other foreclosed assets income, combined with favorable BOLI fluctuations associated with deferred compensation plans for $0.8 million. The provision for credit losses at $0.3 million declined by $0.2 million, or 49% as a result of lower net loan charge-offs recognized in the first quarter of 2023.

●

Total noninterest expense increased $2.8 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022. Salaries and benefits costs increased $1.0 million as we added new lending teams, and other noninterest expense increased $1.8 million mostly due to a $0.8 million increase in foreclosed asset expense, and a $0.5 million in directors deferred compensation expense, linked to favorable changes in BOLI income described above.

FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY

March 31, 2023 relative to December 31, 2022

The Company’s assets totaled $3.7 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $85.4 million, or 2% from December 31, 2022. The following provides a summary of key balance sheet changes during the first three months of 2023:

●

Investment securities increased by $101.8 million, or 8%, to $1.4 billion primarily due to strategic purchases of U.S. government agency securities and CLOs.

●

Gross loan balances declined by $19.0 million, due mostly to the foreclosure of $18.1 million of loans related to one dairy relationship in January 2023. Further commercial real estate secured loans increased $8.7 million, and mortgage warehouse lines increased by $3.0 million.

●

Deposits increased by $102.8 million, or 4%. The growth in deposits came primarily from customer time and brokered deposits.

●

Other short-term borrowings declined $42.2 million to $176.8 million at March 31, 2023 from $219.0 million at December 31, 2022 and consisted of overnight borrowings from correspondent banks and the FHLB. Customer repurchase agreements, which are considered short-term as well, declined from $109.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $94.1 million at March 31, 2023.

●

Long-term debt at March 31, 2023 consisted of $40.0 million of long-term FHLB advances and $49.2 million of subordinated debt. This was an increase of $40.0 million from December 31, 2022 due to the $40.0 million in long-term FHLB advances, taken out as a partial hedge on longer term adjustable rate loans.

●

Total capital of $307.0 million at March 31, 2023 reflects an increase of $3.4 million, or 1%, relative to year-end 2022. The Company’s leverage ratio was 10.13% at March 31, 2023 as compared to 10.30% at December 31, 2022. The increase in equity during the first three months of 2023 was due to the addition of $8.8 million in net income, a $0.5 million favorable swing in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss, due principally to changes in investment securities’ fair value, net of $2.7 million in share repurchases, and $3.5 million in

dividends paid. The remaining difference is related to stock options exercised and restricted stock granted during the first three months.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

The Company earns income from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense on deposits and other borrowed money. The second is noninterest income, which primarily consists of customer service charges and fees but also comes from non-customer sources such as BOLI and investment gains. The majority of the Company’s noninterest expense is comprised of operating costs that facilitate offering a full range of banking services to our customers.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN

Net interest income was $28.1 million, for the first quarter of 2023, a $3.4 million increase, or 14% over the first quarter of 2022.

For the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same quarter in 2022, the $3.4 million increase in net interest income came from a $186.9 million increase in average earning asset balances, which consisted of increases of $104.8 million in average investment balances and $82.1 million in average loan balances. In addition, there was a favorable rate variance on average earning assets of 121 basis points. Offsetting these favorable interest income variances, average deposit balances increased $128.6 million, with all of the increase in higher cost time deposits. Average borrowed funds increased $175.2 million, primarily for the purchase of floating rate collateralized loan obligations. Deposit costs increased 118 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same quarter in 2022, along with a 201 basis point increase in the cost of borrowed funds.

Interest expense was $9.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.0 million, relative to the first quarter of 2022. The significant increase in interest expense is attributable to an unfavorable shift in deposit mix and the impact of interest rate increases, as the average balance of higher cost time deposits, including variable rate time deposits and borrowed funds increased by $270.1 million and $175.2 million respectively in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022.

The Company had $1.3 billion in adjustable and variable rate loans and $561.0 million in floating rate collateralized loan obligations, as compared to $464.7 million in floating rate CDs and $35.5 million in floating rate trust preferred securities at March 31, 2023. $227.5 million of the Company’s adjustable and variable rate loans have the ability to reprice in the next twelve months.

The Company continues to offer floating rate CDs which are indexed to prime. These floating rate CDs increased $135.4 million or 41%, to $464.7 million at March 31, 2023, as compared to $329.3 million at December 31, 2022. Due to the increases in the prime rate during 2022 and 2023, interest expense on floating rate CDs has increased $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 over the first quarter of 2022. These CD’s require a minimum balance and pay a rate that is 325 – 400 basis points below the Wall Street Journal Prime rate, with a 20 basis point minimum rate.

The level of net interest income we recognize in any given period depends on a combination of factors including the average volume and yield for interest earning assets, the average volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and the mix of products which comprise the Company’s earning assets, deposits, and other interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables show average balances for significant balance sheet categories and the amount of interest income or interest expense associated with each category for the noted periods. The tables also display calculated yields on each major component of the Company’s investment and loan portfolios, average rates paid on each key segment of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities, and our net interest margin for the noted periods.

Table of Contents

The Volume and Rate Variances table below sets forth the dollar difference for the comparative periods in interest earned or paid for each major category of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of such change attributable to fluctuations in average balances (volume) or differences in average interest rates. Volume variances are equal to the increase or decrease in average balances multiplied by prior period rates, and rate variances are equal to the change in rates multiplied by prior period average balances. Variances attributable to both rate and volume changes, calculated by multiplying the change in rates by the change in average balances, have been allocated to the rate variance.

The volume variance calculated for the first quarter of 2023 relative to the first quarter of 2022 was a favorable $1.6 million; this is primarily from a favorable volume variance of $1.8 million in interest earning assets, as the average balance of interest earning assets increased $186.9 million from the comparative quarters. There was a favorable rate variance of $6.3 million from the comparative quarters since the weighted average yield on interest earning assets more than offset the increase in the average yield unfavorable variance on interest bearing liabilities. There was an unfavorable mix variance of $4.5 million primarily from the shift in customer deposit transaction accounts into higher

cost variable rate time certificates combined with a higher level of borrowed funds. The Company’s net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 3.47%, as compared to 3.21% for the first quarter of 2022.

At March 31, 2023, approximately 4% of our total portfolio, or $89.5 million, consists of variable rate loans. At March 31, 2023, our outstanding fixed rate loans represented 36% of our loan portfolio. The remaining 60% of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2023 consists of adjustable-rate loans; 68% of these loans (approximately $829.9 million) will not have the ability to reprice for at least another 3 years. These loans are typically adjustable every five years after the initial adjustment. Approximately $68.1 million of these adjustable-rate loans have the ability to reprice next quarter, which will have a positive impact on earnings.

Cash balances for the quarterly comparisons have decreased and have a positive impact on our net interest margin since cash balances earn considerably lower yields than other earning assets. Average cash and due from banks was $83.1 million, a decrease of $188.5 million for the first three months of 2023 as compared to the same period last year.

Overall average investment securities increased by $294.4 million for the first quarter of March 31, 2023 as compared to March 31, 2022. For the quarter ending March 31, 2023 over the same period for 2022, average non-taxable securities increased $66.9 million and taxable securities increased $227.5 million. The overall investment portfolio had a tax-equivalent yield of 4.65% at March 31, 2023, with an average life of 6.41 years.

Interest expense was $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase is attributable to a shift from being a net seller of Federal Funds at March 31, 2022, to a net purchaser of funds at March 31, 2023 coupled with a 380 to 450 basis point increase to the rate on the Prime Index Certificate of Deposit accounts offered by the bank. The rate on the Prime Index account is tied to a spread to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate and varies from Prime minus 400 basis points to Prime minus 325 basis points. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 118 basis points to 131 basis points for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. This increase is almost entirely due to the prime-based certificate of deposit account that adjusts with each change in the Wall Street Journal Prime rate. As described above, this certificate of deposit product pays between 325 and 400 basis points below the Wall Street Journal Prime rate. The Wall Street Journal Prime rate has increased by 450 basis points for the twelve month period between March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. The average cost of borrowed funds increased 201 basis points for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $22.9 million or 2% for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company sets aside an allowance for credit losses on loans, a contra-asset account, through periodic charges to earnings which are reflected in the income statement as the provision for credit losses on loans. The Company recorded an expense related to a credit loss provision for loans of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2023 relative to a provision for credit losses on loans of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company's $0.3 million decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the impact of reduced net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2023.

Specifically identifiable and quantifiable loan losses are immediately charged off against the allowance, with subsequent recoveries reflected as an increase to the allowance. The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is at a level that, in Management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable credit losses on loans related to individually identified loans as well as probable credit losses in the remaining loan portfolio.

The Company’s policies for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, determining loan balances that should be charged off, and other detailed information with regard to changes in the allowance are discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated

financial statements, and below, under “Allowance for Credit Losses.” The process utilized to establish an appropriate credit allowance for losses on loans can result in a high degree of variability in the Company’s credit loss provision, and consequently in our net earnings.

Noninterest Income:

Total noninterest income increased $0.5 million, or 9%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same quarter in 2022. A favorable swing in the income on BOLI offset by lower service charges on deposits and lower gains on the sale of investment securities accounts for most of the positive variance.

Other service charges and fees on deposit accounts decreased $0.2 million or 3% for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Effective in the third quarter of 2022, the Company made several changes to its NSF fees (i.e. returned item) and overdraft fees for customers. In particular, NSF fees are no longer charged, and overdraft fees are limited to 4 per day and no continuous overdraft fee will be charged. In addition, the amount of overdraft privilege (i.e. the amount to which the Company will pay overdrafts for customers) was increased by $250.

There were de minimis gains of the sales of securities for the first quarter of 2023, but there was a $1.0 million gain on the sale of securities in the first quarter of 2022. The sale in the first quarter of 2022 was a strategic effort to rebalance the portfolio by selling longer duration and higher price volatility securities as a hedge against rising interest rates, due to likely persistent inflationary pressures in the near-intermediate term environment.

BOLI income increased by $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022. The variance is due mostly to fluctuations in underlying values of assets in the separate account BOLI policies that are designed to have similar assets to those in the deferred compensation plans. Thus, the lower quarterly values in BOLI policies are offset by lower deferred compensation expense reflected primarily in director fees expense. At March 31, 2023, there was $43.2 million in traditional BOLI policies and $9.1 million in separate account BOLI policies associated with the deferred compensation plans.

In the “other” category of noninterest income the Company there was a $0.9 million increase in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022. The primary reason for the favorable variance was the receipt of $0.3 million in life insurance proceeds, $0.3 million in income on foreclosed assets and a $0.3 million increase in variable rate SBA loan fund income.

Noninterest Expense:

Total noninterest expense increased by $2.8 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2023 relative to the first quarter of 2022.

Salaries and Benefits were $1.0 million, or 9%, higher in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022. The reason for this increase is primarily due to several factors, including merit increases for employees due to annual performance evaluations during the first quarter of 2023, and the strategic hiring of lending and management staff to support expected loan growth. There were 500 full-time equivalent employees at March 31, 2023 as compared to 484 at March 31, 2022.

Occupancy expenses were flat for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same quarter in 2022.

Other noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 29% for the first quarter 2023 as compared to the first quarter in 2022. The variances for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily driven by a $0.8 million increase in foreclosed asset expenses related to a foreclosed Dairy relationship that was sold during the quarter and an increase in directors deferred compensation expense for $0.5 million which is linked to the fluctuation in BOLI income.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company sets aside a provision for income taxes on a monthly basis. The amount of that provision is determined by first applying the Company’s statutory income tax rates to estimated taxable income, which is pre-tax book income

Table of Contents

adjusted for permanent differences, and then subtracting available tax credits. Permanent differences include but are not limited to tax-exempt interest income, BOLI income, and certain book expenses that are not allowed as tax deductions. Our tax credits consist primarily of those generated by investments in low-income housing tax credit funds. The Company's provision for income taxes was 23.6% of pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2023 relative to 27.0% in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in effective tax rate is due to the volatility in the Corporate Owned Life Insurance asset value associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plans. In the first quarter of 2023, the investments associated with the non-qualified deferred compensation plans increased in value, resulting in a non-taxable income as compared to a decrease in value generating non-tax deductible expense for the first quarter of 2022.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

EARNING ASSETS

The Company’s interest earning assets are comprised of loans and investments, including overnight investments and surplus balances held in interest earning accounts in our Federal Reserve Bank account. The composition, growth characteristics, and credit quality of both of those components are significant determinants of the Company’s financial condition. Investments are analyzed in the section immediately below, while the loan portfolio and other factors affecting earning assets are discussed in the sections following investments.

INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments may at any given time consist of debt securities and marketable equity securities (together, the “investment portfolio”), investments in the time deposits of other banks, surplus interest earning balances in our Federal Reserve Bank account, and overnight fed funds sold. The Company’s investments can serve several purposes, including the following: 1) they can provide liquidity for potential funding needs; 2) they provide a source of pledged assets for securing public deposits, bankruptcy deposits and certain borrowed funds which require collateral; 3) they constitute a large base of assets with structural characteristics that can be changed more readily than loan or deposit portfolios, as might be required for interest rate risk management purposes; 4) they are another interest earning option for the placement of surplus funds when loan demand is light; and 5) they can provide partially tax exempt income.

The investment portfolio is reflected on the balance sheet as investment securities and totaled $1.4 billion, or 37% of total assets at March 31, 2023, and $1.3 billion, or 35% of total assets at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to purchases of U.S. government agency securities and AAA and AA tranches of collateralized loan obligations.

The Company carries “available for sale” investments at their fair market values and “held to maturity” investments at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses. We currently have the intent and ability to hold our investment securities to maturity, but the securities are all marketable. The expected effective duration was 1.6 years for available-for-sale investments and 6.3 years for held-to-maturity investments at March 31, 2023, as compared to 1.8 years for available-for-sale investments and 6.4 years for held-to-maturity investments at December 31, 2022.

In the second and fourth quarters of 2022 the Company transferred $162.1 million and $198.3 million, respectively of “available for sale” investments to “held to maturity”. Those securities were transferred at fair market value on the date of the transfer. The transfer was initiated to reduce the effect of potential future rate increases on the available-for-sale portfolio, mark-to-market, other comprehensive income and equity. See Note 9, Investment Securities for additional information.

Investment securities that were pledged as collateral for borrowings and/or potential borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, customer repurchase agreements, and other purposes as required or permitted by law totaled $186.3 million at March 31, 2023 and $183.5 million at December 31, 2022, leaving $1.2 billion in unpledged debt securities at March 31, 2023 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022. Securities that were pledged in excess of actual pledging needs and were thus available for liquidity purposes, if needed, totaled $58.3 million at March 31, 2023 and $43.1 million at December 31, 2022.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – AFS INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The allowance for credit losses on AFS investment securities, a contra-asset, is established through periodic provisions for credit losses on AFS investment securities. It is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to measure expected losses across the classes of major investment security types related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of a deterioration in credit value. The Company maintains that it has intent and ability to hold these securities until the amortized cost basis of each security is recovered and likewise concluded as of both January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 that it was not more likely than not that any of the securities in an unrealized loss position would be required to be sold. The following bullets outline additional support for management’s conclusion that no amount of the unrealized loss of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 was attributable to credit deterioration and a risk of loss, requiring an allowance for credit losses.

●

US Government Agencies are supported by the full faith and credit-worthiness of the U.S. Federal Government and the management did not consider a default, much less a loss on these securities to be a reasonable possibility as of either January 1, 2022 or March 31, 2023.

●

Mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”) carry an implicit guarantee by the U.S. Federal Government, as the GSEs can draw funds from the U.S. Federal Government up to a limit, with an implied ability to draw funds beyond the limit. Management did not consider a default, much less a loss on these securities to be a reasonable possibility as of either January 1, 2022 or March 31, 2023.

Management routinely monitors third party credit grades of the municipal issuers in the Company’s state and political subdivisions portfolio and as of both January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 noted that all municipal securities in an unrealized loss position were either investment grade rated or guaranteed. On a quarterly basis management receives financial information from a third-party service in order to monitor the underlying issuer’s financial stability. In addition, management performs annual reviews of the underlying municipal issuers financial statements in order to evaluate stability and repayment capacity and has noted no concerns with any of the bonds in the Company’s State and Local portfolio. As of both January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 management concluded that no allowance for credit losses was warranted on any of the Company’s municipal securities and the unrealized loss position of each of the securities reflected fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, since the time of purchase.

●

The Company has invested in corporate debt issuances of other financial institutions. Various financial metrics of each of the issuing financial institutions are reviewed by management quarterly, these metrics include credit quality, reserve adequacy, profitability and capital. Following review of the financial metrics available for each of the underlying institutions as of January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 management concluded that the unrealized loss position of these securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions, primarily interest rates, from the date of purchase, and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the issuing financial institution. These bonds were subject to a credit review by the credit administration department prior to their purchase and are subject to ongoing quarterly reviews.

●

The Company has invested exclusively in AA and AAA tranches of various collateralized loan obligations, which are securitizations of commercial loans. Each purchase is subject to a credit, concentration, and structure review by the credit administration department prior to their purchase and are subject to ongoing quarterly reviews. Management monitors the credit rating of these investments on a quarterly basis in addition to various performance metrics available through a third-party informational service. Following review of financial metrics as of both January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 management concluded that the unrealized loss position of these securities related exclusively to the fluctuation in market conditions, primarily interest rate spreads, from the date of purchase, and were not reflective of any credit concerns with the tranches comprising the Company’s investments.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

A distribution of the Company’s loans showing the balance and percentage of loans by type is presented for the noted periods in the table below. The balances in the table are after deferred or unamortized loan origination, extension, or commitment fees, and deferred origination costs. While not reflected in the loan totals and not currently comprising a material segment of our lending activities, the Company also occasionally originates and sells, or participates out portions of loans to non-affiliated investors.

Net loans at $2.0 billion, decreased $18.9 million during the first three months of 2023 with an overall 1% change. The net change did have offsetting components with the larger fluctuations being a $3.0 million increase in mortgage warehouse line utilization, and an $18.7 million increase in non-owner occupied commercial real estate. Unfavorable larger loan variances include a $20.5 million decrease in farmland, and a $10.0 million decrease in owner-occupied commercial real estate.

As indicated in the loan roll forward below, new credit extended for the first quarter of 2023 increased $30.1 million over the same period in 2022 but decreased $14.6 million for the linked quarter comparisons. For the first three months ended 2023 we had $48.8 million in loan paydowns and maturities, along with a $3.0 million increase in mortgage warehouse line utilization and a $25.8 million decrease in line of credit utilization.

Over the past two years, the Company has strategically focused on reducing concentrations in commercial real estate, especially amongst areas management deemed to be higher risk such as construction, office real estate, and hospitality. At March 31, 2021, the total regulatory CRE ratio of total CRE over Tier 1 Capital plus allowance was 359%. At March 31, 2023, this ratio had declined to 249% which positions us well for growth. Further, the overall level of construction and land development lending had declined from 25% of regulatory capital plus allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2021, to 4% of regulatory capital plus allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2023. Further, overall committed office

real estate is 8.4% of total commitments at March 31, 2023. The office real estate loans are adjustable rates with most rate adjustments occurring beyond two years. During the next twenty four months, we have 39 office commercial real estate loans totaling $15.4 million that have scheduled interest rate resets. The Bank’s practice is to make commercial real estate loans with an “at origination” loan-to-value of 65% or lower using conservative underwriting standards. Over the past two years, noting the affect the pandemic had on the office building sector, new production of commercial real estate loans in this segment have been discouraged, resulting in reduced loan originations.

Regarding line utilization, unused commitments, excluding mortgage warehouse and overdraft lines, were $223.6 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $219.7 million at December 31, 2022. Total utilization excluding mortgage warehouse and overdraft lines was 57% at March 31, 2023, compared to 59% at December 31, 2022. Mortgage warehouse utilization was 15% at March 31, 2023, compared to 10% at December 31, 2022.

It should be noted that the majority of the mortgage warehouse lines were moved to repurchase agreement lines that provide stronger credit protection to the Company, as well as more favorable regulatory capital treatment as these repurchase lines are not considered off-balance sheet commitments.

As expected, PPP loans continue to decline as borrowers receive forgiveness on these loans. There were eleven loans for $0.8 million outstanding at March 31, 2023, compared to fourteen loans for $1.8 million at December 31, 2022.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans for which the Company is no longer accruing interest, in addition to foreclosed assets which is primarily OREO, but can include other foreclosed assets.

Total nonperforming assets, comprised of non-accrual loans and foreclosed assets, decreased by $18.6 million, or 95% during the first quarter of 2023. The significant decrease resulted from a decrease in non-accrual loans, primarily as a result of one relationship in the dairy industry consisting of four separate loans that were foreclosed on and subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2023. These loans were written down by $8.7 million during 2022 and no further allowance for credit losses was deemed necessary on these loans. The Company's ratio of nonperforming assets to loans plus foreclosed assets decreased to 0.05% at March 31, 2023, from 0.95% at December 31, 2022 due primarily to the resolution of the loan relationship previously mentioned. All of the Company's nonperforming assets are individually

evaluated for credit loss quarterly and management believes the established allowance for credit loss on such loans are appropriate.

There were no foreclosed assets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022., however when the Company does own foreclosed assets, they are periodically evaluated and written down to their fair value less expected disposition costs, if lower than the then-current carrying value.

An action plan is in place for each of our non-accruing loans and they are all being actively managed. Collection efforts are continuously pursued for all nonperforming loans, but we cannot provide assurance that they will be resolved in a timely manner or that nonperforming balances will not increase.

The Company had $1.5 million in loans past due 30-59 days at March 31, 2023. This is a decrease of $0.3 million over the balance at December 31, 2022. All of these past due loans are under management supervision and every effort is being taken to assist the borrowers and manage credit risk in this regard.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES – LOANS RECEIVABLE

The allowance for credit losses on loans, a contra-asset, is established through periodic provisions for credit losses on loans. It is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to measure expected losses on individually identified loans, as well as expected losses inherent in the remaining loan portfolio. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance; recoveries are generally recorded only when sufficient cash payments are received subsequent to the charge off.

Due to the uncertainty of national and local economic conditions, the Company deferred implementation of the CECL accounting method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2016-03 and related amendments, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) under section 4014 of the CARES Act. The Company implemented CECL on January 1, 2022, and recorded a $10.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, which included a $0.9 million reserve for unfunded commitments as an adjustment to equity, net of deferred taxes.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on loans was $23.1 million at both March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and $22.5 million at March 31, 2022. The allowance was 1.14% of total loans at March 31, 2023, 1.12% of total loans at December 31, 2022, and 1.14% of total loans at March 31, 2022. Management's detailed analysis indicates that the Company's allowance for credit losses on loan should be sufficient to cover credit losses for the life of the loans outstanding as of March 31, 2023, but no assurance can be given that the Company will not experience substantial future losses relative to the size of the credit loss allowance for loans. A separate allowance of $0.9 million for potential credit losses inherent in unused commitments is included in other liabilities at March 31, 2023, unchanged from December 31, 2022. As mentioned previously a $0.9 million one-time adjustment was recorded to the reserve for unfunded commitments on January 1, 2022 upon the implementation of CECL.

The Company’s credit allowance for losses on loans at March 31, 2023 represents Management’s best estimate of expected losses in the loan portfolio as of that date, but no assurance can be given that the Company will not experience substantial losses relative to the size of the allowance. Furthermore, fluctuations in credit quality, changes in economic conditions, updated accounting or regulatory requirements, and/or other factors could induce us to augment or reduce the allowance.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company maintains commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business, as long as there are no violations of conditions established in the outstanding contractual arrangements. It is unlikely that all unused commitments will ultimately be drawn down. Unused commitments to extend credit, which included standby letters of credit, totaled $705.2 million at March 31, 2023 and $895.6 million at December 31, 2022, representing approximately 35% of gross loans outstanding at March 31, 2023 and 44% at December 31, 2022. Included in unused commitments are mortgage warehouse lines which are mostly in the form of repo lines and are unconditionally cancellable. Unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines were $401.5 million at March 31, 2023 and $594.6 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in unused commitments on mortgage warehouse lines is due in large part to the decrease in funded commitments due to the impact of recent interest rate increases. Unused commitments exclusive of mortgage warehouse lines have increased $2.7 million or 1% for the first three months of 2023 and are due to an increase in new lines of credit. The Company also had undrawn letters of credit issued to customers totaling $6.1 million at March 31, 2023 and $6.0 million at December 31, 2022. The effect on the Company’s revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will ever be used. However, the “Liquidity” section in this Form 10-Q outlines resources available to draw upon should we be required to fund a significant portion of unused commitments.

In addition to unused commitments to provide credit, the Company is utilizing a $125 million letter of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank on the Company’s behalf as security for certain local agency deposits which totaled $73.0 million at March 31, 2023. That letter of credit is backed by loans that are pledged to the FHLB by the Company. For more information on the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements located elsewhere herein.

OTHER ASSETS

Interest earning cash balances were discussed above in the “Investments” section, but the Company also maintains a certain level of cash on hand in the normal course of business as well as non-earning deposits at other financial institutions. Our balance of cash and due from banks depends on the timing of collection of outstanding cash items (checks), the amount of cash held at our branches, and our reserve requirement among other things, and it is subject to significant fluctuations in the normal course of business. While cash flows are normally predictable within limits, those limits are fairly broad and the Company manages its short-term cash position through the utilization of overnight loans to, and borrowings from, correspondent banks, including the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Should a large “short” overnight position persist for any length of time, the Company typically raises money through focused retail deposit gathering efforts or by adding brokered time deposits. If a “long” position is prevalent, we could let brokered deposits or other wholesale borrowings roll off as they mature, or we might invest excess liquidity into investments or loans, subject to the bank’s risk tolerances. The Company’s balance of non-earning cash and due from banks was $81.7 million at March 31, 2023 relative to $72.8 million at December 31, 2022.

Foreclosed assets are discussed above in the section titled “Nonperforming Assets.”

Net premises and equipment decreased by $0.2 million during the first three months of 2023, to $22.3 million. This decline was primarily a result of normal depreciation, the disposal of obsolete equipment, net of new purchases.

Goodwill was $27.4 million at March 31, 2023, unchanged during the first three months of 2023. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, unless events and circumstances exist which indicate that an impairment test should be performed. A Goodwill impairment test was last performed during the fourth quarter 2022 and determined that no impairment existed. During the first three months of 2023, overall bank stock prices declined significantly after the liquidity events that led to the voluntary liquidation of one California bank, the failure of a $200 billion California Bank (second largest bank failure in history) and the failure of a $100 billion bank in New York. Given the recent events management felt it prudent to perform a current valuation in light of the recent slide in the Company’s stock price relative to the entire banking sector. After performing such valuation, management concluded that no impairment of the Company existed at March 31, 2023. Management will continue to evaluate whether or not a triggering event occurs, or circumstances

change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount before the next annual test.

Bank-owned life insurance, with a balance of $52.3 million at March 31, 2023, is discussed in detail above in the “Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense” section.

DEPOSITS AND INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

DEPOSITS

Deposits represent another key balance sheet category impacting the Company’s net interest income and profitability metrics. Deposits provide liquidity to fund growth in earning assets, and the Company’s net interest margin is improved to the extent that growth in deposits is concentrated in less volatile and typically less costly non-maturity accounts such as demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and money market demand accounts. Information concerning average balances and rates paid by deposit type is included in the Average Balances and Rates tables appearing above, in the section titled “Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin.” A distribution of the Company’s deposits by type, showing the period-end balance and percentage of total deposits, is presented as of the dates indicated in the following table.

Total deposits	$	2,948,988	100.00%	$	2,846,164	100.00%

Deposit balances grew by $102.8 million, or 4%, during the first quarter of 2023 to $2.9 billion at March 31, 2023. Core non-maturity deposits decreased $82.3 million, or 4%, for the first three months of 2023, while customer time deposits increased by $120.2 million. Brokered deposits increased $65.0 million during the quarter; to take advantage of preferential pricing over other forms of borrowed funds. Overall noninterest-bearing deposits as a percent of total deposits decreased to 35.3% at March 31, 2023, compared to 38.2% at December 31, 2022, and from 38.6% at March 31, 2022. From March 10, 2023 to March 31, 2023, overall deposits decreased by less than 0.04%.

Overall uninsured deposits are estimated to be approximately $858.4 million, or 30% of total deposit balances, excluding public agency deposits that are subject to collateralization through a letter of credit issued by the FHLB. In addition, uninsured deposits of the bank’s customers are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance if the customer opens an IntraFi Insured Cash Sweep account or a reciprocal time deposit through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry System (CDARS). IntraFi allows for up to $150 million of combined pass-through FDIC insurance which would more than cover each of the Bank’s deposit customers if such customer desired to have such pass-through insurance. The Bank maintains a diversified deposit base with no significant customer concentrations and does not bank any cryptocurrency companies. At March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 122,000 accounts and the 25 largest deposit balance customers had balances of less than 9% of overall deposits.

Table of Contents

Management is of the opinion that a relatively high level of core customer deposits is one of the Company’s key strengths, and we continue to strive for core deposit retention and growth. In particular, the Company’s ratio of noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits was 35.3% at March 31, 2023 as compared to 38.2% at December 31, 2022.

OTHER INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

The Company’s non-deposit borrowings may, at any given time, include fed funds purchased from correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, advances from the Federal Reserve Bank, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, subordinated notes and/or junior subordinated debentures. The Company uses short-term FHLB advances and fed funds purchased on uncommitted lines to support liquidity needs created by seasonal deposit flows, to temporarily satisfy funding needs from increased loan demand, and for other short-term purposes. The FHLB line is committed, but the amount of available credit depends on the level of pledged collateral.

Total non-deposit interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $17.2 million, during the first three months of 2023. primarily due to a decrease in customer repurchase agreements and overnight borrowings.

Customer repurchase agreements declined from $109.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $94.1 million at March 31, 2023. Customer repurchase agreements provide collateral for customers that sweep excess deposit balances each day into a separate repurchase agreement account where the Company effectively sells certain government bonds to customers daily and then repurchase the same bonds on the next business day. Although these accounts are not deposits and are not FDIC insured, they provide customers with larger account balances the ability to have their account secured with collateral.

Other borrowings declined $2.2 million to $216.8 million at March 31, 2022 from $219.0 million at December 31, 2022 and consist of overnight borrowings from correspondent banks and FHLB advances. Overall borrowings from the FHLB and correspondent banks remained relatively unchanged during the first quarter of 2023.

Long-term debt at March 31, 2023 consisted of $49.2 million of subordinated debt. This remained unchanged from December 31, 2022. Subordinated debentures related to $35.5 million of trust preferred securities at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

OTHER NONINTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

Other liabilities are principally comprised of operating lease right-of-use liabilities, accrued interest payable, other accrued but unpaid expenses, and certain clearing amounts. The Company’s balance of other liabilities was $41.5 million at March 31, 2023 as compared to $45.1 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $3.6 million or 8%. The decrease was primarily driven a reduced in accrued expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity management refers to the Company’s ability to maintain cash flows that are adequate to fund operations and meet other obligations and commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. Detailed cash flow projections are reviewed by Management on a monthly basis, with various stress scenarios applied to assess our ability to meet liquidity needs under unusual or adverse conditions. Liquidity ratios are also calculated and reviewed on a regular basis. While those ratios are merely indicators and are not measures of actual liquidity, they are closely monitored, and we are committed to maintaining adequate liquidity resources to draw upon should unexpected needs arise.

The Company, on occasion, experiences cash needs as the result of loan growth, deposit outflows, asset purchases or liability repayments. To meet these short-term needs, we can borrow overnight funds from other financial institutions,

draw advances via Federal Home Loan Bank lines of credit, or solicit brokered deposits if customer deposits are not immediately obtainable from local sources.

The Company continues to have substantial liquidity though unencumbered assets and available borrowings. In addition, the Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio declined from 72% at December 31, 2022 to 69% at March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had the following sources of primary and secondary liquidity (dollars in thousands):


Primary and secondary liquidity sources		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	83,506	$	77,131
Unpledged investment securities		1,197,816		1,097,164
Excess pledged securities		58,334		43,096
FHLB borrowing availability		762,698		718,842
Unsecured lines of credit		309,000		237,000
Funds available through fed discount window		40,327		42,278
Totals	$	2,451,681	$	2,215,511

The Company did not participate in the new Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program. Unpledged investment securities include $561.0 million of CLOs. As CLOs have a rate that resets every 90 days to current rates, the volatility of pricing of these securities is limited and the Company could sell such securities for liquidity at a significantly lower loss than selling lower rate fixed term securities such as US government bonds or municipal bonds. During the first quarter of 2023, the Bank sold a few CLOs at a modest gain and expects to continue to utilize the CLO portfolio for both interest rate risk management and liquidity purposes.

The Company performs regular stress tests on its liquidity and at this time, believes that we have sufficient primary and secondary liquidity sources for operations.

The Company has a higher level of actual balance sheet liquidity than might otherwise be the case, since we utilize a letter of credit from the FHLB rather than investment securities for certain pledging requirements. That letter of credit, which is backed by loans pledged to the FHLB by the Company, totaled $125 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Other sources of liquidity include the brokered deposit market, deposit listing services, and the ability to offer local time-deposit campaigns. Management is of the opinion that available investments and other potentially liquid assets, along with standby funding sources it has arranged, are more than sufficient to meet the Company’s current and anticipated short-term liquidity needs.

The Company’s primary liquidity ratio and net loans to deposits were 32.4% and 69.0%, respectively, at March 31, 2023, as compared to internal policy guidelines of “greater than 15%” and “less than 95%.” Ratios and sub-limits for the various components comprising wholesale funding, which were all well within policy guidelines at March 31, 2023, are also periodically reviewed by Management and the Board. The Company has been able to maintain a robust liquidity position in recent periods, but no assurance can be provided that our liquidity position will continue at current strong levels.

The holding company’s primary uses of funds include operating expenses incurred in the normal course of business, interest on trust preferred securities and subordinated debt, shareholder dividends, and share repurchases. Its primary source of funds is dividends from the Bank since the holding company does not conduct regular banking operations. As of March 31, 2023, the holding company maintained a cash balance of $27.8 million. Management anticipates that the holding company has sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. Both the holding company and the Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations on dividend payments, as outlined in Item 5(c) Dividends in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 which was filed with the SEC.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company does not engage in the trading of financial instruments, nor does it have exposure to currency exchange rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily that of interest rate risk, and we have established policies and procedures to monitor and limit our earnings and balance sheet exposure to changes in interest rates. The principal objective of interest rate risk management is to manage the financial components of the Company’s balance sheet in a manner that will optimize the risk/reward equation for earnings and capital under a variety of interest rate scenarios.

To identify areas of potential exposure to interest rate changes, we utilize commercially available modeling software to perform monthly earnings simulations and calculate the Company’s market value of portfolio equity under varying interest rate scenarios. The model imports relevant information for the Company’s financial instruments and incorporates Management’s assumptions on pricing, duration, and optionality for anticipated new volumes. Various rate scenarios consisting of key rate and yield curve projections are then applied in order to calculate the expected effect of a given interest rate change on interest income, interest expense, and the value of the Company’s financial instruments. The rate projections can be shocked (an immediate and parallel change in all base rates, up or down), ramped (an incremental increase or decrease in rates over a specified time period), economic (based on current trends and econometric models) or stable (unchanged from current actual levels).

In addition to a stable rate scenario, which presumes that there are no changes in interest rates, we typically use at least eight other interest rate scenarios in conducting our rolling 12-month net interest income simulations: upward shocks of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points, and downward shocks of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. Those scenarios may be supplemented, reduced in number, or otherwise adjusted as determined by Management to provide the most meaningful simulations considering economic conditions and expectations at the time. Pursuant to policy guidelines, we generally attempt to limit the projected decline in net interest income relative to the stable rate scenario to no more than 5% for a 100 basis point interest rate shock, 10% for a 200 basis point shock, 15% for a 300 basis point shock, and 20% for a 400 basis point shock.

The Company had the following estimated net interest income sensitivity profiles over one-year, without factoring in any potential negative impact on spreads resulting from competitive pressures or credit quality deterioration:


	March 31, 2023				March 31, 2022
Immediate change in Interest Rates (basis points)	% Change in Net Interest Income		$ Change in Net Interest Income		% Change in Net Interest Income		$ Change in Net Interest Income
+400		(5.5)%	$	(6,530)		13.3%	$	14,321
+300		(3.8)%	$	(4,554)		10.9%	$	11,684
+200		(2.1)%	$	(2,562)		8.1%	$	8,712
+100		(0.6)%	$	(764)		4.3%	$	4,624
Base
-100		(2.6)%	$	(3,150)		(9.2)%	$	(9,892)
-200		(6.3)%	$	(7,478)		N/A		N/A
-300		(7.1)%	$	(8,450)		N/A		N/A
-400		(9.4)%	$	(11,223)		N/A		N/A

For the periods ending March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, management believes that the Company was liability sensitive, with net income decreasing in a rising and declining rate scenarios.

The shift from being asset sensitive at March 31, 2022 to slightly liability sensitive at March 31, 2023, is primarily due to the change in assumption regarding low cost deposits. At March 31, 2023, it was assumed that over twelve months, a small portion of low-cost deposits would shift into higher cost deposits thus making the company slightly liability sensitive. Further, the Company has more variable rate liabilities at March 31, 2023 including overnight borrowings both in Fed Funds purchased and overnight FHLB borrowings and in customer time deposits tied to the prime interest rate. In addition, based on the magnitude of rate changes, interest rates on new loans did not increase at the rates modeled in 2022 and therefore, the beta on loan yields was lowered in modeling interest rate risk in 2023. Any change in interest rate in the model would expect to decrease net interest income. At March 31, 2023, the Company had $176.8

Table of Contents

million in overnight borrowings as compared to none at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $186.4 million in overnight cash held with the Federal Reserve bank as compared to $0.7 million at March 31, 2023.

The change in net interest income is similar for the up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point scenarios. If there were an immediate and sustained upward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, all else being equal, net interest income over the next 12 months is projected to decline by $6.5 million, or 6%, relative to a stable interest rate scenario, with the favorable variance increasing marginally as interest rates rise higher.

If there was an immediate downward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, net interest income would drop $3.2 million or a negative variance of 3%. The change in net interest income in the down 200 basis point scenario is a decrease of $7.5 million or 6%. As a significant portion of the Company’s deposits remain in noninterest bearing accounts or low-cost deposit accounts, in a down rate scenario, these rates would not change or only change slightly. All interest rate shock scenarios are within our internal policy guidelines, and we will continue to monitor our interest rate risk profile and implement remedial changes if deemed appropriate.

If there was an immediate downward adjustment of 100 basis points in interest rates, net interest income would drop $8.3 million or a negative variance of 8%. The reason for the drop in net interest income is, most deposit products are at their floors of 0.10% and cannot be re-priced lower, while non-floored interest earning assets such as loans and securities can theoretically still be re-priced lower in a falling rate environment. Due to the historically low current rate environment, we view any material interest rate reductions as unlikely in the near term. However, the potential percentage drop in net interest income in the “down 100 basis points” interest rate scenario exceeds our internal policy guidelines and we will continue to monitor our interest rate risk profile and implement remedial changes if deemed appropriate.

In addition to the net interest income simulations shown above, we run stress scenarios for the unconsolidated Bank where we model the possibility of no balance sheet growth, the potential runoff of “surge” core deposits which flowed into the Bank in the most recent economic cycle, and unfavorable movement in deposit rates relative to yields on earning assets (i.e., higher deposit betas). When a static balance sheet and a stable interest rate environment are assumed, projected annual net interest income is $2.9 million lower than in our standard simulation.

The modeled economic value (or “fair value”) of financial instruments on the Company’s balance sheet will also vary under the interest rate scenarios previously discussed. The difference between the projected fair value of the Company’s financial assets and the fair value of its financial liabilities is referred to as the economic value of equity (“EVE”), and changes in EVE under different interest rate scenarios are effectively a gauge of the Company’s longer-term exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Fair values for financial instruments are estimated by discounting projected cash flows (principal and interest) at anticipated replacement interest rates for each account type, while the fair value of non-financial accounts is assumed to equal their book value for all rate scenarios. An economic value simulation is a static measure utilizing balance sheet accounts at a given point in time, and the measurement can change substantially over time, as is evident in the tables below for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as the Company’s balance sheet evolves and interest rate and yield curve assumptions are updated.

The change in economic value under different interest rate scenarios depends on the characteristics of each class of financial instrument, including stated interest rates or spreads relative to current or projected market-level interest rates or spreads, the likelihood of principal prepayments, whether contractual interest rates are fixed or floating, and the average remaining time to maturity. As a general rule, fixed-rate financial assets become more valuable in declining rate scenarios and less valuable in rising rate scenarios, while fixed-rate financial liabilities gain in value as interest rates rise and lose value as interest rates decline. The longer the duration of the financial instrument, the greater the impact a rate change will have on its value. In our economic value simulations, estimated prepayments are factored in for financial instruments with stated maturity dates, and decay rates for non-maturity deposits are projected based on historical patterns and Management’s best estimates.

Table of Contents

Our EVE decreased in the past twelve months primarily from an increase in decay rates on certain non-maturity deposit accounts which significantly lowered the deposit values. The tables below show estimated changes in the Company’s EVE as modeled under different interest rate scenarios relative to the base case:


	March 31, 2023				March 31, 2022
Immediate change in Interest Rates (basis points)	% Change in Fair Value of Equity		$ Change in Fair Value of Equity		% Change in Fair Value of Equity		$ Change in Fair Value of Equity
+400		5.5%	$	31,949		25.8%	$	171,796
+300		5.4%	$	31,524		22.8%	$	151,682
+200		4.8%	$	28,118		18.4%	$	122,257
+100		3.0%	$	17,588		11.0%	$	72,882
Base
-100		(3.8)%	$	(22,403)		(20.2)%	$	(134,598)
-200		(19.0)%	$	(111,121)		N/A		N/A
-300		(21.2)%	$	(124,001)		N/A		N/A
-400		(10.4)%	$	(60,974)		N/A		N/A

The table shows that our EVE is modeled to deteriorate in declining rate scenarios but should benefit from a parallel shift upward in the yield curve. The rate of increase in EVE accelerates the higher interest rates rise. This increase in sensitivity is caused by the increase in gross deposits, namely, an increase in noninterest bearing deposits which become more valuable as interest rates rise. We also run stress scenarios for the unconsolidated Bank’s EVE to simulate the possibility of adverse movement in loan prepayment rates, unfavorable changes in deposit rates, and higher deposit decay rates. Model results are highly sensitive to changes in assumed decay rates for non-maturity deposits, in particular, with material unfavorable variances occurring relative to the standard simulations shown above as decay rates are increased. Furthermore, while not as extreme as the variances produced by increasing non-maturity deposit decay rates, EVE also displays a relatively high level of sensitivity to unfavorable changes in deposit rate betas in rising interest rate scenarios.

The potential percentage change in EVE in all rate shock interest rate scenarios is within our internal policy guidelines. We continue to monitor our interest rate risk profile and implement remedial changes if deemed appropriate.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had total shareholders’ equity of $307.0 million at March 31, 2023, comprised of $111.8 million in common stock, $4.6 million in additional paid-in capital, $246.7 million in retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $56.1 million. At the end of 2022, total shareholders’ equity was $303.6 million. The increase in equity during the first three months of 2022 is due to net income of $8.8 million, offset by a $3.5 million dividend paid to shareholders, $2.7 million in share repurchases, and a $0.5 million favorable swing in other comprehensive income/(loss) due principally to changes in investment securities' fair value. The remaining difference is related to stock options exercised and restricted stock compensation recognized during the quarter.

The Company approved a new share repurchase program on October 20, 2022 (the 2023 Share Repurchase Plan) that was effective upon the expiration of the prior 2021 Share Repurchase Plan on October 31, 2022. The 2022 Share Repurchase Plan authorizes 630,000 shares to be repurchased and expires on October 31, 2023. Under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program, there were 146,418 shares repurchased in the first three months of 2023.

The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate its capital adequacy, including the leverage ratio which is calculated separately for the Company and the Bank. Management reviews these capital measurements on a quarterly basis and takes appropriate action to help ensure that they meet or surpass established internal and external guidelines. As permitted by the regulators for financial institutions that are not deemed to be “advanced approaches” institutions, the Company has elected to opt out of the Basel III requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in risk-based capital. The following table sets forth the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated.

(1)	The Company was subject to these minimum requirements under the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action at December 31, 2019.

(2)

If the subsidiary bank’s Leverage Ratio exceeds the minimum ratio under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework, it is deemed to be “well capitalized” under all other regulatory capital requirements. The Company may revert back to the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action if the subsidiary bank’s Leverage Ratio falls below the minimum under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework.

(3)	The Company has elected to phase in the impact of implementing CECL on regulatory capital over a three-year period.

The federal banking agencies published a final rule on November 13, 2019, that provided a simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the community bank leverage ratio framework and maintains a leverage ratio greater than 9 percent will be considered to have met the minimum capital requirements, the capital ratio requirements for the well capitalized category under the Prompt Corrective Action framework, and any other capital or leverage requirements to which the qualifying banking organization is subject. A qualifying community banking organization with a leverage ratio of greater than 9 percent may opt into the community bank leverage ratio framework if has average consolidated total assets of less than $10 billion, has off-balance-sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, and has total trading assets and trading liabilities of 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets. Further, the bank must not be an advance approaches banking organization.

The final rule became effective January 1, 2020 and banks that meet the qualifying criteria can elect to use the community bank leverage framework starting with the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The CARES Act reduced the required community bank leverage ratio to 8% until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the national emergency is declared over. Beginning in 2021 the CBLR was increased to 8.5% for the calendar year with the CBLR increasing to 9% on January 1, 2022. The federal bank regulatory agencies adopted an interim final rule to implement this change from the CARES Act. At September 30, 2021, the Company and the Bank met the criteria outlined in the final rule and the interim final rule and elected to measure capital adequacy under the CBLR framework.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and the Bank are defendants, from time to time, in legal proceedings in various points of the legal process arising from transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of Management, in consultation with legal counsel, it is not probable that current legal actions will result in an unfavorable outcome that has a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, or cash flows. In the event that such legal action results in an unfavorable outcome, the resulting liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), or cash flows.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

For a discussion of our risk factors, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2022 Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties that we face are not limited to those set forth in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Recent negative developments affecting the banking industry, and resulting media coverage, have eroded customer and investor confidence in the banking system. The recent high-profile bank failures involving Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank have generated significant market volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies and, in particular, regional and community banks like the Company. These market developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness of regional and community banks. As a result, customers may choose to maintain deposits with larger financial institutions or invest in higher yielding short-term fixed income securities, all of which could materially adversely impact the Company’s liquidity, loan funding capacity, net interest margin, capital and results of operations. Additionally, these recent events have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility of the Company’s common stock independent from the Company’s actual underlying financial performance.

Rising interest rates have decreased the value of the Company’s held-to-maturity and available for sale securities portfolio, and certain fixed-rate loans and the Company would realize losses if it were required to sell such securities or loans to meet liquidity needs. As a result of inflationary pressures and the resulting rapid increases in interest rates over the last year, the trading value of previously issued government and other fixed income securities has declined significantly, as well as the value of certain fixed-rate loans. These securities make up a majority of the securities portfolio of most banks in the U.S., including the Company’s, resulting in unrealized losses. Unaccreted unrealized losses that existed at the time securities were transferred to held-to maturity and unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities reflected in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Changes to unrealized losses after securities were transferred to held-to-maturity and unrealized losses on loans are not reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). While the Company does not currently intend to sell these securities or loans, if the Company were required

Table of Contents

to sell such securities to meet liquidity needs, it may incur losses, which could impair the Company’s capital, financial condition, and results of operations and require the Company to raise additional capital on unfavorable terms, thereby negatively impacting its profitability.

Any regulatory examination scrutiny or new regulatory requirements arising from the recent events in the banking industry could increase the Company’s expenses and affect the Company’s operations. The Company also anticipates increased regulatory scrutiny – in the course of routine examinations and otherwise – and new regulations directed towards banks of similar size to the Bank, designed to address the recent negative developments in the banking industry, all of which may increase the Company’s costs of doing business and reduce its profitability. As a result, the Bank could face increased scrutiny or be viewed as higher risk by regulators and the investor community.
