FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this report that are not statements of historical fact, including statements that include terms such as ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘forecast,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘likely,’’ ‘‘optimistic’’ and ‘‘plan’’ and statements about future or projected financial and operating results, plans, projections, objectives, expectations, and intentions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, descriptions of plans and objectives for future operations, products or services; projections of our future revenue, earnings or other measures of economic performance; forecasts of credit losses and other asset quality trends; statements about our business and growth strategies; and expectations about economic and market conditions and trends. These forward-looking statements express our current expectations, forecasts of future events, or long-term goals. They are based on assumptions, estimates, and forecasts that, although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including:

This list provides examples of factors that could affect the results described by forward-looking statements contained in this report, but the list is not intended to be all-inclusive.  The risk factors disclosed in Part I – Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as updated by any new or modified risk factors disclosed in Part II – Item 1A of any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, include the known risks our management believes could materially affect the results described by forward-looking statements in this report. However, those risks may not be the only risks we face. Our results of operations, cash flows, financial position, and prospects could also be materially and adversely affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us that we currently consider to be immaterial, or that develop after the date of this report. We cannot assure you that our future results will meet expectations. While we believe the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date made. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to update or alter any statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

1.	Preparation of Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.  The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.  Our critical accounting policies include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights.  Refer to our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a disclosure of our accounting policies.

2.	New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, ‘‘Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments’’. This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.

This ASU:

(unaudited)

We began evaluating this ASU in 2016 and established a company-wide, cross-discipline governance structure, which provides implementation oversight. We continued to test and refine our current expected credit loss models that satisfied the requirements of this ASU. Oversight and testing, as well as efforts to meet expanded disclosure requirements, extended through the end of 2019.  We currently estimate losses over approximately a two year forecast period using the Federal Open Market Committee median economic projections as well as considering other economic forecast sources, and then revert to longer term historical loss experience to estimate losses over more extended periods.  We were originally required to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020 but section 4014 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act allows for temporary relief from applying this ASU.  Under the CARES Act we may delay the adoption of this ASU until the earlier of the termination of the national emergency that President Trump declared on March 13, 2020, or December 31, 2020.  As such, we have chosen to delay the adoption of this ASU and continue to utilize the existing incurred loss impairment methodology to calculate our allowance for loan losses and our provision for loan losses as required under Accounting Standards Codification 310 (Receivables). When we adopt this ASU as required under the CARES act we will do so retrospectively to January 1, 2020.

We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment at January 1, 2020 increasing the allowance for loan losses.  We are estimating an increase to the allowance for loan losses at that time to be in the range of $8.0 million to $10.0 million primarily driven by the longer contractual maturities of our mortgage and consumer installment loan segments. In addition, we currently expect this ASU to increase the allowance for losses related to unfunded loan commitments between $1.0 million and $2.0 million. The ultimate impact of adopting this ASU, and at each subsequent reporting period, is highly dependent on credit quality, economic forecasts and conditions, composition of our loan portfolios and securities available for sale, along with other management judgements. The transition adjustment to record the allowance for credit losses may fall outside of our estimated increase based on the finalization of assumptions including qualitative adjustments and the economic forecast used in calculating the allowance for credit losses upon the adoption of CECL.

 

We do not expect a material allowance for credit losses to be recorded on securities available for sale upon adoption of this ASU.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, ‘‘Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement’’. This new ASU amends disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The amended guidance eliminates the requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amended guidance adds the requirements to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period and for recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and how the weighted average was calculated, with certain exceptions. This amended guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2020, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated operating results or financial condition.

(unaudited)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ‘‘Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting’’. This new ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Entities that make such elections would not have to remeasure contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination.  Entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met.  This amended guidance and our ability to elect its temporary optional expedients and exceptions are effective for us as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

Our portfolio of securities available for sale is reviewed quarterly for impairment in value. In performing this review management considers (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) the impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security and (4) an assessment of whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned recovery criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

U.S. agency, U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency commercial mortgage backed securities — at March 31, 2020, we had 24 U.S. agency, 52 U.S. agency residential mortgage-backed and six U.S. agency commercial mortgage-backed securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. The  unrealized losses are largely attributed to widening spreads to Treasury bonds since acquisition.

 

Private label mortgage backed, other asset backed and corporate securities — at March 31, 2020, we had 35 private label mortgage backed, 122 other asset backed and 18 corporate securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. The unrealized losses are primarily due to credit spread widening since acquisition.

 

Two private label mortgage-backed securities (discussed further below) were reviewed for other than temporary impairment (‘‘OTTI’’) utilizing a cash flow projection. The cash flow analysis forecasts cash flow from the underlying loans in each transaction and then applies these cash flows to the bonds in the securitization.

 

Obligations of states and political subdivisions — at March 31, 2020, we had 36 municipal securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. The unrealized losses are primarily due to wider benchmark pricing spreads since acquisition.

 

Trust preferred securities — at March 31, 2020, we had two trust preferred securities whose fair value is less than amortized cost. Both of our trust preferred securities are single issue securities issued by a trust subsidiary of a bank holding company. The pricing of trust preferred securities has suffered from credit spread widening. One of the securities is rated by a major rating agency as investment grade while the other one is non-rated. The non-rated issue is a relatively small bank and was never rated. The issuer of this non-rated trust preferred security, which had a total amortized cost of $1.0 million and total fair value of $0.65 million as of March 31, 2020, continues to have satisfactory credit metrics and make interest payments.

 

As management does not intend to liquidate any of the securities discussed above and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of these unrealized losses, no declines discussed above (other than certain declines related to the two private label mortgage-backed securities currently being reviewed for OTTI) are deemed to be other than temporary.

 

We recorded no credit related OTTI charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to securities available for sale during the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

At March 31, 2020, two private label mortgage-backed securities had credit related OTTI and are summarized as follows:

		Senior Security				Super Senior Security				Total
		(In thousands)
Fair value		$	469			$	513			$	982
Amortized cost			490				410				900
Non-credit unrealized loss			21				-				21
Unrealized gain			-				103				103
Cumulative credit related OTTI			757				457				1,214

(unaudited)

Both of these securities are receiving principal and interest payments similar to principal reductions in the underlying collateral and have unrealized gains at March 31, 2020. The original amortized cost (current amortized cost excluding cumulative credit related OTTI) for each of these securities has been permanently adjusted downward for previously recorded credit related OTTI. The unrealized loss (based on original amortized cost) for one of these securities is now less than previously recorded credit related OTTI amounts.

Certain preferred stocks which were all sold during the first quarter of 2019 had been classified as equity securities at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recognized gains on these preferred stocks of $0.167 million that are included in net gains (losses) on securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
