(1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc., First Interstate Bank (“FIB”), and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The balance sheet information at December 31, 2020 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications, none of which were material, have been made to conform prior year financial statements to the June 30, 2021 presentation. These reclassifications did not change previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes a description of significant accounting policies. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

On June 7, 2021, the Company transferred debt securities with an amortized cost of $646.7 million and an estimated fair value of $672.2 million from the available-for-sale to the held-to-maturity classification. These securities consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ($629.4 million amortized cost and $654.5 million estimated fair value) and corporate securities ($17.3 million amortized cost and $17.7 million estimated fair value) and were transferred as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The transfer of debt securities into the held-to-maturity category was recorded at fair value on the date of transfer. The net unrealized gains on the transfer date are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and are being accreted over the remaining lives of the securities. This accretion is expected to offset the amortization of the related premium created by the investment securities transfer into the held-to-maturity classification, with no expected impact on future net income.

There were no material gross realized gains and no material gross losses on the disposition of available-for-sale investment securities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had general obligation securities with amortized costs of $59.1 million included in state, county, and municipal securities, of which $41.6 million, or 70.4%, were issued by political subdivisions or agencies within the states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair values of investment securities, aggregated by investment category, and the length of time individual investment securities have been in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There were no held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2020.

The available-for-sale securities portfolio contains securities that are guaranteed by a sovereign entity or are generally considered to have non-credit related risks, such as interest rate risk or prepayment and liquidity factors. The Company considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. The unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 260 and 181 individual investment securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, related primarily to fluctuations in current interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had the intent and ability to hold these investment securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell any of the available-for-sale securities in the above table and the Company does not anticipate it will have to sell any securities before a recovery in cost. There were no material allowances for credit loss as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020 for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities.

Maturities of securities do not reflect rate repricing opportunities present in adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities. In the table below, the Company had variable rate mortgage-backed and corporate securities which had an amortized cost of $291.6 million and were classified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2021. Maturities of mortgage-backed securities have been adjusted to reflect shorter maturities based upon estimated prepayments of principal. All other investment securities maturities are shown at contractual maturity dates.

Collateral-Dependent Financial Loans

A collateral-dependent financial loan relies solely on the operation or sale of the collateral for repayment. In evaluating the overall risk associated with a loan, the Company considers (1) character, overall financial condition and resources, and payment record of the borrower; (2) the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and (3) the nature and degree of protection provided by the cash flow and value of any underlying collateral. The loan may become collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and, as sources of repayment become inadequate over time, the Company develops an expectation that repayment will be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

(1) As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our non-accrual loans were earning interest income. Additionally, no material interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and no material accrued interest was reversed at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Modifications of performing loans are made in the ordinary course of business and are completed on a case-by-case basis as negotiated with the borrower in connection with the ongoing loan collection processes. Loan modifications typically include adjustments to certain terms including interest rate changes, interest only periods of less than twelve months, short-term payment deferrals, and extension of amortization periods to provide payment relief. A loan modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company, for economic or legal reasons, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not under other circumstances. Certain troubled loans are on non-accrual status at the time of debt restructuring. These restructured loans may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has sustained repayment performance as required under the restructuring agreement for a period of at least six months and management is reasonably assured of the borrower’s future performance. If the troubled debt restructuring meets these performance criteria, and the interest rate granted at the modification date is equal to or greater than the rate that the Company might grant for a new loan at the time of the restructuring at comparable risk, then the loan will be reclassified to performing status and the accrual of interest will resume. Loans that return to performing status will continue to be individually evaluated for credit deterioration in the ordinary course of business.

The 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) provided financial institutions with options on the treatment of troubled debt restructurings, and the Company elected to apply these options at the individual loan level. Under the CARES Act, the Company can elect: (1) to suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the COVID–19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring; and/or (2) to suspend any determination of a loan modified as being a troubled debt restructuring as a result of the effects of the COVID–19 pandemic, including impairment for accounting purposes. If the Company elects a suspension noted above, the suspension (a) will be effective for the term of the loan modification, but solely with respect to any modification, including a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, and any other similar arrangement that defers or delays the payment of principal or interest, occurring for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (b) will not apply to any adverse impact on the credit of a borrower that is not related to the COVID–19 pandemic. These suspensions end the earlier of January 1, 2022 or the date that is 60 days after the termination of the national emergency.

The Company renegotiated loans in troubled debt restructurings in the amount of $7.2 million as of June 30, 2021, of which $5.0 million were included in non-accrual loans and $2.2 million were on accrual status. As of June 30, 2021, the Company allocated $0.2 million of allowance for credit losses to those loans and the Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans have been renegotiated or are classified as non-accrual.

The Company renegotiated loans in troubled debt restructurings in the amount of $14.5 million as of December 31, 2020, of which $11.3 million were included in non-accrual loans and $3.2 million were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2020, the Company allocated $2.9 million of allowance for credit losses to those loans and the Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans have been renegotiated or are classified as non-accrual.

The Company had no material new troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

For troubled debt restructurings that were on non-accrual status or otherwise deemed collateral-dependent before a modification, the Company may have already recorded an allowance for credit losses. In periods subsequent to modification, the Company continues to evaluate all troubled debt restructurings for possible credit deterioration and, where deterioration is observed, recognizes credit loss through the allowance. Additionally, the Company continues to work these loans through the credit cycle through charge-off, pay-off, or foreclosure. Financial effects of modifications of troubled debt restructurings may include principal loan forgiveness or other charge-offs directly related to the restructuring. The Company had no charge-offs directly related to modifying troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

The Company had no material troubled debt restructurings during the previous 12 months for which there was a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company considers a payment default to occur on troubled debt restructurings when the loan is 90 days or more past due or is placed on non-accrual status after the modification.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 where the loan did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring and the borrowers had not been experiencing financial difficulties. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. These loans have a total recorded investment of $67.4 million as of June 30, 2021.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the Company evaluates the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going and continuous monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks internally assigned risk classifications of loans based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt including, among other factors, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the credit risk of the loans. This analysis generally includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $1.0 million, which are generally considered non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed no less than on an annual basis, depending upon the size of exposure and the contractual obligations governing the borrower’s financial reporting frequency. Homogeneous loans, including small business loans, are typically managed by payment performance. The Company internally risk rates its loans in accordance with a Uniform Classification System developed jointly by the various bank regulatory agencies. The Uniform Classification System defines three broad categories of criticized assets, which the Company uses as credit quality indicators in addition to the 6 Pass ratings in its 10-point rating scale:

Special Mention — includes loans that exhibit a potential weakness in financial condition, loan structure, or documentation that warrants management’s close attention. If not promptly corrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

Substandard — includes loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower which have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Although the primary source of repayment for a substandard loan may not currently be sufficient, collateral or other sources of repayment are sufficient to satisfy the debt. Continuance of a substandard loan is not warranted unless positive steps are taken to improve the worthiness of the credit.

Doubtful — includes loans that exhibit pronounced weaknesses on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values to a point where collection or liquidation for full repayment is highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans are required to be placed on non-accrual status and are assigned specific loss exposure.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

The Company evaluates the credit quality and loan performance for the allowance for credit loan losses of the following segments based on the aforementioned risk scale:

The Company evaluates the credit quality, loan performance, and the allowance for credit loan losses of its residential and consumer loan portfolios, based primarily on the aging status of the loan and borrower payment activity. Accordingly, loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings are considered to be nonperforming for purposes of credit quality evaluation. The following tables present the recorded investment of our other loan portfolios based on the credit risk profile of loans that are performing and loans that are nonperforming as of the periods indicated:

(5) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through the management of its business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts to manage or hedge exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and interest rate exposures. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading or speculative purposes.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans that are not designated as accounting hedges. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee, provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by the Company. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Loan commitments related to residential mortgage loans intended to be sold are considered derivatives and are marked to market through earnings. In addition to the effects of the change in market interest rate, the fair value measurement of the derivative also contemplates the expected cash flows to be received from the counterparty from the future sale of the loan.

The Company sells residential mortgage loans on either a best efforts or mandatory delivery basis. The Company mitigates the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing interest rate lock commitments by entering into forward loan sales contracts. The forward loan sales contracts are marked to market through earnings and are not designated as accounting hedges during the interest rate lock commitment period and through the duration of the forward loan sales contracts. Exclusive of the fair value component associated with the projected cash flows from the loan delivery to the investor, the changes in fair value related to movements in market rates of the interest rate lock commitments and the forward loan sales contracts generally move in opposite directions, and the net impact of changes in these valuations on net income during the loan commitment period is generally inconsequential. When the loan is funded to the borrower, the interest rate lock commitment derivative expires, and the Company records a loan held for sale. The forward loan sales contract acts as a hedge against the variability in cash to be received from the loan sale. The changes in measurement of the estimated fair values of the interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales contracts are included in mortgage banking revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The Company also enters into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a client while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the client, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2020 and 2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the existing variable-rate borrowings (trust preferred securities).

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.

On June 17, 2021, the Company invested $500.0 million in five-year U.S. Treasuries at 87 basis points, while simultaneously entering into a two-year forward starting, three-year pay-fixed interest rate swap on $500.0 million notional amount. Beginning on June 30, 2023, the Company will begin receiving effective federal funds, and will pay 1.19% interest on such funds. The interest rate swap was designated as a fair value hedge. The Company assesses the hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative. The Company has determined at the onset of the hedge that the derivative instrument will be a highly effective hedge throughout the term of the contract, any portion of derivative instrument subsequently determined to be ineffective will be recognized in earnings.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

The following amounts were recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges for the periods indicated:


	June 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment		Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment
Available-for-sale securities	$	500.8	$	0.8	$	—	$	—

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and classification on the balance sheet for the periods indicated:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Feature

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well / adequately capitalized institution, then in certain instances the Company could be required to post additional capital and in certain instances the counterparty would have the right to terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, which was $11.8 million related to these agreements. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted excess collateral of $0.2 million. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $11.8 million.

(6) Capital Stock

On June 11, 2019, the Company’s board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program where the Company may repurchase up to 2.5 million of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock. On September 12, 2020, the Company’s board of directors increased the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized to be repurchased by the Company under the stock repurchase program by an additional 3.0 million shares for a total of 5.5 million shares. There were no shares repurchased under the program during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased and retired 72,700 shares of our Class A common stock at a total cost of $2.9 million, including costs and commissions, at an average cost of $39.69 per share. The shares of common stock repurchased during the period represented 1.3% of the total 5.5 million shares authorized to be repurchased. As of June 30, 2021, there were 1.9 million shares remaining authorized under the repurchase program.

All other stock repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were redemptions of vested restricted shares tendered in lieu of cash for payment of income tax withholding amounts by participants in the Company’s equity compensation plans.

(7) Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares determined for the basic earnings per share computation plus the dilutive effects of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net income	$	42.5	$	36.7	$	93.9	$	66.0
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share computation	61,657,593		64,004,455		61,624,917		64,397,320
Dilutive effects of stock-based compensation	70,228		78,034		98,225		116,566
Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share computation	61,727,821		64,082,489		61,723,142		64,513,886

Basic earnings per common share	$	0.69	$	0.57	$	1.52	$	1.02
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.69	$	0.57	$	1.52	$	1.02

Anti-dilutive unvested time restricted stock	84,165		108,369		90,538		108,369

The Company had 363,960 and 296,188 shares of unvested restricted stock as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because performance conditions for vesting had not been met.

In connection with the adoption of CECL, or ASC 326, on January 1, 2020, the Company recognized an after-tax cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings totaling $24.1 million. In March 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC issued an interim final rule that allows banking organizations to mitigate the effects of ASC 326 on their regulatory capital computations. This interim rule is in addition to the three-year transition period already in place under the capital transition rule previously issued in February 2019. Banking organizations can elect to mitigate the estimated cumulative regulatory capital effects for an additional two years. This rule allows an institution to defer transitioning the impact of ASC 326 into its regulatory capital calculation, including ratios, over an extended period. Additionally, the interim rule extends the transition period whereby an institution can defer the impact from ASC 326 on the current period, determined based on the difference between the new ASC 326 allowance for credit losses and the allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss method from previous GAAP, for up to two years. The total impact related to ASC 326 would then be transitioned into regulatory capital and the associated ratios over a three-year transition period, beginning after the initial two-year deferral period, for a total transition period of five years. The Company has elected to opt into the transition election and is adopting transition relief over the permissible five-year period.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various claims and litigation. In the opinion of management, following consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability or disposition of all such claims and litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had commitments under construction contracts of $5.3 million.

Residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary market are sold with varying recourse provisions. Essentially all the loan sales agreements require the repurchase of a mortgage loan by the seller in situations such as breach of representation, warranty, or covenant; untimely document delivery; false or misleading statements; failure to obtain certain certificates or insurance; or unmarketability. Certain loan sales agreements contain repurchase requirements based on payment-related defects that are defined in terms of the number of days or months since the purchase, the sequence number of the payment, and/or the number of days of payment delinquency. Based on the specific terms stated in the agreements, the Company had $0.5 million of sold residential mortgage loans with recourse provisions still in effect as of June 30, 2021.

(10) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and determining the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as in the Company’s policies for making commitments to extend credit. The estimated fair value of the obligation undertaken by the Company in issuing standby letters of credit is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(12) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities

The methodologies used by the Company in determining the fair values of each class of financial instruments are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and therefore are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. Transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 are recognized on the actual transfer date. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Further details on the methods used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments above are discussed below:

Investment Debt Securities Available-for-Sale. The Company obtains fair value measurements for investment securities from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the investment’s terms and conditions, among other things. Vendors chosen by the Company are widely recognized vendors whose evaluations support the pricing functions of financial institutions, investment and mutual funds, and portfolio managers. If needed, a broker may be utilized to determine the reported fair value of investment securities.

Loans Held for Sale. Fair value measurements for loans held for sale are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include binding contracts or quotes or bids from third party investors as well as loan level pricing adjustments.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. Fair values for derivative interest rate swap contracts are based upon the estimated amounts to settle the contracts considering current interest rates and are calculated using discounted cash flows that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data. The inputs used to determine fair value include the three-month LIBOR forward curve to estimate variable rate cash inflows and the federal funds effective swap rate to estimate the discount rate. The estimated variable rate cash inflows are compared to the fixed rate outflows and such difference is discounted to a present value to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The change in the value of derivative assets attributable to basis risk, or the risk that offsetting investments in a hedging strategy will not experience price changes in entirely opposite directions from each other, was not significant in the reported periods. The Company also obtains and compares the reasonableness of the pricing from an independent third party.

For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, we evaluate the credit risk of our counterparties as well as ours. Accordingly, we have considered factors such as the likelihood of our default and the default of our counterparties, our net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. The change in value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. Fair value measurements for interest rate lock commitments are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include prices available from secondary market investors taking into consideration various characteristics of the loan, including the loan amount, interest rate, value of the servicing, and loan to value ratio, among other things. Observable data is then adjusted to reflect changes in interest rates, the Company’s estimated pull-through rate, and estimated direct costs necessary to complete the commitment into a closed loan net of origination and processing fees collected from the borrower.

Forward Loan Sales Contracts. The fair value measurements for forward loan sales contracts are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that includes sales of similar loans.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities. The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These investments are in the same funds and purchased in the same amounts as the participants’ selected investments, which represent the underlying liabilities to plan participants. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Additionally, from time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to credit deterioration. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Collateral-dependent Loans. Collateral-dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. The collateral-dependent loans are reported at fair value through specific valuation allowance allocations. In addition, when it is determined that the fair value of a collateral-dependent loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the carrying value of the loan is adjusted to fair value through a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Collateral values are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. As of June 30, 2021, certain collateral-dependent loans with a carrying value of $15.7 million were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations of $0.7 million and partial charge-offs of $2.2 million resulting in a reported fair value of $12.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, certain collateral-dependent loans with a carrying value of $17.5 million were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations of $2.8 million resulting in a reported fair value of $14.7 million.

OREO. The fair values of OREO are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. Upon initial recognition, write-downs based on the foreclosed asset’s fair value at foreclosure are reported through charges to the allowance for credit losses. Periodically, the fair value of foreclosed assets is remeasured with any subsequent write-downs charged to OREO expense in the period in which they are identified. The Company had no material write downs on OREO properties during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of by Sale. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair values of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are based upon observable market data and management estimates of current market conditions. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying and fair values aggregating $7.3 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying values aggregating $5.5 million, reduced by write-downs of $0.2 million, resulting in a fair value of $5.3 million.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair values:


	Fair Value As of
	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range (Weighted Average)
Collateral dependent loans	$	12.8	$	14.7	Appraisal	Appraisal adjustment	0%	-	18%	(9%)

Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale	7.3		5.3		Appraisal	Appraisal adjustment	0%	-	0%	0%

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of other financial instruments are discussed below. For financial instruments bearing a variable interest rate where no credit risk exists, it is presumed that recorded book values are reasonable estimates of fair value.

Financial Assets. Carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, and accrued interest receivable approximate fair values due to the liquid and/or short-term nature of these instruments. Fair values for investment securities held-to-maturity are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the investment’s terms and conditions, among other things. Fair values of fixed rate loans and variable rate loans that reprice on an infrequent basis are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality using an exit price notion. Carrying values of variable rate loans that reprice frequently, and with no change in credit risk, approximate the fair values of these instruments.

Financial Liabilities. The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest payable are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using external market rates that are currently offered for deposits that have similar remaining maturities. The fair values of derivative liabilities are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include the three-month LIBOR forward curve, the federal funds effective swap rate and cash flows, among other things. The carrying values of the interest-bearing demand notes to the United States Treasury are deemed an approximation of fair values due to the frequent repayment and repricing at market rates. The fixed and floating rate subordinated debentures, floating rate subordinated term loan, notes payable to the FHLB, fixed rate subordinated term debt, and capital lease obligation are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates for advances that have similar characteristics.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, is not significant.

(13) Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance

ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (ASU 2018-14). The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements that have been identified as meeting the requirements. Although narrow in scope, the amendments are considered an important part of the Board’s efforts to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by applying the concepts discussed in the Concepts Statement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or liquidity.

ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Accounting.” In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides temporary exceptions that are optional for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate, with such modification considered to be "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs will carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications will not be accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The Company adopted certain elections related to cash flow hedges which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of other expedients in the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.” In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, that clarifies when an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or liquidity.

ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform Topic 848, that clarifies certain exceptions that are optional in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting and apply those exceptions to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this ASU on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final ASU. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments in this ASU for an eligible hedging relationship, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the date the entity applies the election. The amendments in this ASU do not apply to contract modifications made, new hedging relationships entered into, or existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness in periods after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that apply certain exceptions that are optional in which the accounting effects of the hedging activity are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship (including periods after December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

(14) Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the Company’s financial statements were filed with the SEC. On July 26, 2021, the Company declared a quarterly dividend to common shareholders of $0.41 per share, to be paid on August 19, 2021 to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2021.

No other undisclosed events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified.

Executive Overview

We are a financial and bank holding company focused on community banking. Since our incorporation in Montana in 1971, we have grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions. Today, we operate 147 banking offices, including detached drive-up facilities, in communities across six states—Idaho, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. Through our bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, we deliver a comprehensive range of banking products and services—including online and mobile banking—to individuals, businesses, municipalities, and others throughout our market areas. We are proud to provide lending opportunities to clients that participate in a wide variety of industries, including:

•Agriculture

•Governmental services

•Mining

•Technology

•Construction

•Healthcare

•Professional services

•Tourism

•Education

•Hospitality

•Real Estate Development

•Wholesale trade

•Energy

•Housing

•Retail

Our principal business activity is lending to, accepting deposits from, and conducting financial transactions with and for individuals, businesses, municipalities, and other entities located in the communities we serve. We derive our income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on fixed income investments.

Table of Contents

We also derive income from non-interest sources such as: (i) fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; (ii) wealth management services, such as trust, employee benefit, investment, and insurance services; (iii) mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; (iv) merchant and electronic banking services; and (v) from time-to-time, gains on sales of assets and securities.

Our principal expenses include: (i) interest expense on deposits accounts and other borrowings; (ii) salaries and employee benefits; (iii) data processing and communication costs primarily associated with maintaining loan and deposit functions; (iv) furniture, equipment, and occupancy expenses for maintaining our facilities; (v) professional fees, including FDIC insurance assessments; (vi) income tax expense; (vii) provisions for credit losses; (viii) core deposit intangible amortization; and (ix) other real estate owned expenses.

Recent Trends and Developments

During the past few years, we have increased our community banking footprint across the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions, in large part due to our acquisition activity. We continue to evaluate bank acquisitions and other strategic opportunities on an on-going basis.

Management continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial results. Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our operations to a limited degree, but has had varying degrees of disruptions and restrictions on our borrowers and to our borrowers’ supply chains, facilities operations, staffing, and demand for certain products and services. With the wide-spread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines, and the United States moving beyond the most acute phases of the pandemic into recovery, our branches and drive-ups are functioning at normal operating hours and are adequately staffed. While 24% of our back-office staff continue to work from home, the majority of our staff is working from the office. We anticipate the majority of the back-office employees will be back in the office by the end of the third quarter, provided conditions are amenable. Although the impact of the COVID-19 vaccines has significantly reduced the spread of COVID-19 within the United States, there have been recent increases in the spread of COVID-19 in multiple regions across the United States, including new strains of variants in the virus. This has resulted in a return of mask mandates and other emergency measures in certain regions of the United States. To date, such measures have not been re-enacted in regions where the Company operates. The Company is monitoring this resurgence and its potential impact on the Company’s operations, and remains poised to change course should conditions require. As such, the scope, duration, and severity of the pandemic is not yet fully known. As a result, even with a burgeoning recovery, there continues to be some uncertainty as to the long-term effect on the economy and the Company.

Primary Factors Used in Evaluating Our Business

As a banking institution, we manage and evaluate various aspects of both our financial condition and our results of operations. We monitor our financial condition and performance and evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our balance sheet and statements of income, as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against both our own historical performance and the financial condition and performance of comparable banking institutions in our region and nationally.

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our financial performance is impacted by a number of external factors outside our control, as well as our ability to execute on the key components of our strategy for continued success and future growth. See Part II – Other Information “Item 1A – Risk Factors” for an update of the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant accounting policies we follow are summarized in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as referenced in Note 1 to the unaudited financials in this quarterly report. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates and policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, during the quarterly period covered by this quarterly report.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide detail about the results of our operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Net Interest Income

Changes in interest rate spread, which is the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, has the most significant impact on net interest income. Other factors like volume of loans, investment securities, and other interest earning assets compared to the volume of interest-bearing deposits and indebtedness also cause changes in our net interest income between periods. Non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, help to support earning assets.

For the periods indicated, the following table presents condensed average balance sheet information, together with interest income and yields earned on average interest earning assets and interest expense and rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income decreased $3.7 million, or 3.0%, to $118.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $122.5 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease resulted from a sharp decline in rates across the yield curve in the first half of 2020, resulting in declining yields on loans and investment securities. Partially offsetting these rate pressures was a higher volume of investments and interest-bearing deposits in banks and lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income decreased $6.1 million, or 2.5%, to $239.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $245.6 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease resulted from the sharp decline in rates across the yield curve in the first half of 2020, resulting in declining yields on loans and investment securities. Partially offsetting these rate pressures was a higher volume of investments and interest-bearing deposits in banks, additional income earned on PPP loans and lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

The Company earned a total of $20.1 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $8.6 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans for the same period in 2020. The Company had $26.5 million of unearned fees accrued as of June 30, 2021 related to PPP loans.

Table of Contents

Net interest income included interest accretion related to the fair valuation of acquired loans of $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, of which $1.4 million was the result of early loan payoffs, and $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which $2.6 million was the result of early loan payoffs. This compares to interest accretion of $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, of which $1.1 million was the result of early loan payoffs, and $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, of which $2.2 million was the result of early loan payoffs.

Our net FTE interest margin ratio decreased 70 basis points to 2.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 3.52% for the same period in 2020. Similarly, our net FTE interest margin ratio decreased 77 basis points to 2.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 3.70% for the same period in 2020. The decreases in net FTE interest margin ratio during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, and during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, were primarily the result of a shift in mix of earning assets toward investment securities that are invested at lower yields and higher interest-earning cash balances, which were partially offset by lower deposits costs.

Exclusive of the impact of interest accretion on acquired loans, our net FTE interest margin ratio was 2.76% during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 3.44% for the same period in 2020, or a 68 basis point decrease, and 2.87% during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 3.60% in the same period in 2020, or a 73 basis point decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a shift in the mix of earning assets toward investment securities that are invested at lower yields and higher interest-earning cash balances, which were partially offset by lower deposits costs.

The table below sets forth a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from estimated changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and estimated changes in average interest rates (referred to as “rate”) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Changes which are not due solely to volume or rate have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percent changes in average volume and average rate as they compare to each other.

Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses

The Company had no provision for credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to a provision for credit losses of $19.5 million during same period in 2020, with the decrease attributable to both the improvement in our underlying asset quality metrics, and the significantly improved economic outlook assumptions driving our CECL model. The provision considered the impact of net charge-offs of $1.1 million, or an annualized 0.04% of average loans outstanding, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $2.3 million, or an annualized 0.09% of average loans outstanding during same period in 2020.

Non-interest Income

Our principal sources of non-interest income primarily include fee-based revenues such as payment services, mortgage banking and wealth management revenues, service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges, commissions and fees. The following table presents the composition of our non-interest income as of the dates indicated:


Non-interest income	Three Months Ended June 30,				$ Change		% Change		Six Months Ended June 30,				$ Change		% Change
(Dollars in millions)	2021		2020						2021		2020

Total non-interest income decreased $4.4 million, or 11.1%, to $35.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $39.7 million for the same period in 2020 and decreased $4.7 million, or 6.0%, to $73.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $78.1 million for the same period in 2020. Significant components of these fluctuations are discussed below.

Payment services revenues consist of interchange fees that merchants pay for processing electronic payment transactions and ATM service fees. Payment services revenues increased $2.1 million, or 22.6%, to $11.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $9.3 million earned during the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, payment services revenue increased $2.1 million, or 10.8%, to $21.6 million, as compared to $19.5 million during the same period in 2020. The increases in payment services revenues is mainly attributable to higher business credit card volume during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Mortgage banking revenues include gains on residential real estate loans sold, mortgage servicing revenues and direct costs related to loans sold (including amortization, mortgage servicing rights impairment and recoveries and other expenses), and origination and processing fees on residential real estate loans held for sale. Mortgage banking revenues decreased $4.6 million, or 32.4%, to $9.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $14.2 million during the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, mortgage banking revenues decreased $3.9 million, or 15.5%, to $21.2 million as compared to $25.1 million during the same period in 2020. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the Company’s decision to retain a greater percentage of mortgage production into our loans held for investment portfolio and a decline in refinance activity compared to the 2020 periods. The overall loan production for originated home purchases was approximately 60.2% and 52.4% of production for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 29.0% and 35.4% for the same periods in 2020.

Service charge fees are primarily driven by service and overdraft charges on deposit accounts. Service charges increased $0.3 million, or 8.3%, to $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $3.6 million during the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, service charges on deposit accounts decreased $1.3 million, or 14.4%, to $7.7 million as compared to $9.0 million during the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher levels of client account balances and changes in client behavior resulting in lower service and overdraft charges.

Other service charges, commissions and fees primarily include fees earned on certain derivative interest rate contracts, insurance commissions, and safe deposit boxes. Other service charges, commissions and fees decreased $1.3 million, or 44.8%, to $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $2.9 million during the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, other service charges, commissions and fees decreased $1.3 million, or 26.0%, to $3.7 million as compared to $5.0 million during the same period in 2020. The decreases were primarily due to fewer fees earned on derivative interest rate swap contracts offered to clients during 2021.

Table of Contents

Other income primarily includes company-owned life insurance revenues, check printing income, agency stock dividends and gains on sales of miscellaneous assets. Other income decreased $1.7 million, or 39.5%, to $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $4.3 million during the same period in 2020 and decreased $1.2 million, or 15.2%, to $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $7.9 million during the same period in 2020. The decreases in other income between periods was principally due to proceeds from life insurance death benefits received during the second quarter of 2020.

Non-interest Expense

The following table presents the composition of our non-interest expense as of the dates indicated:



Non-interest expense	Three Months Ended June 30,				$ Change		% Change		Six Months Ended June 30,				$ Change		% Change

Total non-interest expense	$	99.0	$	95.6	$	3.4	3.6	%	$	197.4	$	190.6	$	6.8	3.6	%

Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 3.6%, to $99.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $95.6 million during the same period in 2020 and increased $6.8 million, or 3.6%, to $197.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $190.6 million during the same period in 2020. Significant components of these fluctuations are discussed below.

Salaries and wages expense decreased $2.6 million, or 5.9%, to $41.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $44.2 million during the same period in 2020, as a result of lower mortgage loan originator commissions and lower levels of incentive accruals, which were partially offset by severance expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Salaries and wages decreased $3.5 million, or 4.2%, to $80.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $84.1 million during the same period in 2020. The decrease reflects lower levels of incentive accruals and greater deferred loan costs resulting from retained mortgage loans during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Employee benefits expense increased $4.3 million, or 41.3%, to $14.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $10.4 million during the same period in 2020. Employee benefits expense increased $6.2 million, or 25.2%, to $30.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $24.6 million during the same period in 2020. These increases are primarily due to higher health insurance costs and higher long-term incentive accruals as compared to 2020.

Furniture and equipment expense decreased $0.1 million, or 2.4%, to $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $4.2 million during the same period in 2020 and increased $1.5 million, or 21.4%, to $8.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $7.0 million during the same period in 2020. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense related to technology implementations.

Other expenses primarily include advertising and public relations costs; office supply, postage, freight, telephone, and travel expenses; donations expense; debit and credit card expenses; board of director fees; legal expenses; and other losses. Other expenses increased $1.6 million, or 11.2%, to $15.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $14.3 million during the same period in 2020 and increased $1.4 million, or 4.6%, to $32.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $30.6 million during the same period in 2020, partially due to higher donation expenses and elevated new market tax credit amortization during 2021.

Net of the impact of PPP loans, commercial loans decreased $26.7 million or 1.2% from December 31, 2020.

Agricultural operating loans decreased $29.9 million, or 12.1%, to $217.7 million as of June 30, 2021, from $247.6 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to payoffs and pay-downs within the portfolio.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale decreased $25.2 million, or 34.1%, to $48.8 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $74.0 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of a decrease in originations of mortgage loans held for sale related to refinance activity.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing loans. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

Table of Contents

Non-accrual loans. We generally place loans on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed from income. Non-accrual loans decreased approximately $9.1 million, or 23.0%, to $30.4 million, as of June 30, 2021, from $39.5 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to residential construction, residential, and commercial portfolios. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more decreased $3.3 million, or 38.8%, primarily due to decreases in commercial real estate, residential real estate, and commercial loan portfolios. Other real estate owned decreased $0.5 million, or 20.0%, from December 31, 2020.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our non-performing loans among our various loan categories as of the dates indicated.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP. The methodology used to assess the adequacy is consistently applied to the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses based on our evaluation of quantitative and qualitative risk factors in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the expected loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for credit losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature or tenure of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current environmental and economic factors, and the estimated impact of current and forecasted economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates.

The allowance for credit losses is increased by provisions charged against earnings and net recoveries of charged-off loans and is reduced by negative provisions credited to earnings and net loan charge-offs. The allowance for credit losses consists of three elements:

(1)Specific valuation allowances associated with collateral-dependent loans. Specific valuation allowances are determined based on assessment of the fair value of the collateral underlying the loans as determined through independent appraisals, the present value of future cash flows, observable market prices, and any relevant qualitative or environmental factors impacting loans.

(2)Historical valuation allowances based on loan loss experience for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends. The Company applies probability of default and loss given default methodologies for all portfolio segments. The Company uses a transition matrix for probability of default components of the methodology and a historical average for the loss given default components of the methodology. The probability of default and loss given default is applied to the current principal balance as of the reporting date. The transition matrix determines the probability of default by tracking the historical movement of loans between loan risk tiers over a defined period of time. Loan transitions are measured by either internal ratings or delinquency status. Those loans tracked by ratings are generally commercial purpose including agricultural, commercial, and commercial real estate. Those loans tracked by delinquency are generally consumer in nature, with the exception of multi-family and credit cards. The loss given default used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Company’s historical loss experiences from 2008 to the current period, based on a migration analysis of our historical loss experience, which is designed to account for credit deterioration. The model compares the most recent period losses to prior period defaults to calculate the loss given default, which is averaged over the historical observations.

(3)General valuation allowances determined based on changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, general economic conditions or forecasts, and other qualitative risk factors, both internal and external to us, including the incorporation of a one-year forecast period for economic conditions.

Based on the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company records provisions for credit losses to maintain the allowance for credit losses at appropriate levels.

Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value as adjusted for credit risk and an allowance for credit losses at the date of acquisition. For loans with no significant evidence of credit deterioration since origination, the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of the loan at the acquisition date is amortized into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity. An allowance for credit loss is recorded for the expected credit losses over the life of the loan on loans acquired without evidence of credit deterioration. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment.

For loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, the Company determines the fair value of the loans by estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. An allowance for credit losses is recognized by estimating the expected credit losses of the purchased asset and recording an adjustment to the acquisition date fair value to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the asset. Differences between the established amortized cost basis, and the unpaid principal balance of the asset, is considered to be a non-credit discount/premium and is accreted/amortized into interest income using the level yield interest method. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment.

Table of Contents

Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the collectability of the principal is unlikely, or, with respect to consumer installment loans, according to an established delinquency schedule. Generally, loans are charged-off when (1) there has been no material principal reduction within the previous 90 days and there is no pending sale of collateral or other assets, (2) there is no significant or pending event which will result in principal reduction within the upcoming 90 days, (3) it is clear that we will not be able to collect all or a portion of the loan, (4) payments on the loan are sporadic, will result in an excessive amortization, or are not consistent with the collateral held, or (5) foreclosure or repossession actions are pending. Loan charge-offs do not directly correspond with the receipt of independent appraisals or the use of observable market data if the collateral value is determined to be sufficient to repay the principal balance of the loan.

If a collateral-dependent loan is adequately collateralized, a specific valuation allowance is not recorded. As such, significant changes in collateral-dependent and non-performing loans do not necessarily correspond proportionally with changes in the specific valuation component of the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, the Company expects the timing of charge-offs will vary between quarters and will not necessarily correspond proportionally to changes in the allowance for credit losses or changes in non-performing or collateral dependent loans due to timing differences among the initial identification of a collateral-dependent loan, recording of a specific valuation allowance for collateral-dependent loans, and any resulting charge-off of uncollectible principal.

The following table sets forth information regarding our allowance for credit losses as of and for the periods indicated.

Our allowance for credit losses on loans was $135.5 million, or 1.38% of loans held for investment as of June 30, 2021, including PPP loans, as compared to $144.3 million, or 1.47% of loans held for investment, as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in the percentage from December 31, 2020 is primarily a result of changes in the Company’s internal economic forecast. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the loan portfolio expected over the life of the loan, including the incorporation of a one-year forecast period for economic conditions.

While the allowance for credit losses on loans of 1.38% considers the PPP loan balances, the allowance for credit losses does not include a reserve on the 100% Small Business Administration guaranteed PPP loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of period-end loans held for investment would have been 8 basis points higher had the PPP loan balances been excluded at June 30, 2021.

Investment Securities

We manage our investment portfolio to obtain the highest yield possible, while meeting our risk tolerance and liquidity guidelines and satisfying the pledging requirements for deposits of state and political subdivisions and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Our portfolio principally comprises U.S. government agency residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government agency, corporate securities, and tax-exempt securities. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in bank are additional investments that are classified as cash equivalents rather than as investment securities. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value, while investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost. Unrealized gains or losses, net of the deferred tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are reported as increases or decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Investment securities increased $1,583.0 million, or 39.0%, to $5,643.3 million, or 29.8% of total assets, as of June 30, 2021, from $4,060.3 million, or 23.0% of total assets, as of December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the investment of funds generated through deposit growth.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company transferred debt securities with an amortized cost of $646.7 million and an estimated fair value of $672.2 million from the available-for-sale to the held-to-maturity classification. During this period, the Company also invested $500.0 million in five-year U.S. Treasuries at 87 basis points, while simultaneously entering into a two-year forward starting, three-year pay-fixed interest rate swap on $500.0 million notional amount. Beginning on June 30, 2023, the Company will begin receiving effective federal funds, and will pay 1.19% interest on such funds. See Notes- “Investment Securities” and “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” included in this report for additional details.

As of June 30, 2021, the estimated duration of our investment portfolio was 4.0 years, as compared to 3.3 years as of December 31, 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, we had no available-for-sale investment securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. No credit impairment was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Deposits

Our deposits consist of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing demand, savings, individual retirement, and time deposit accounts. Total deposits increased $1,348.7 million, or 9.5%, to $15,565.7 million as of June 30, 2021, from $14,217.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to proceeds from government stimulus and the general economic health of our communities, resulting in higher cash balances maintained by clients.

(1)Included in Time, other are Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS, deposits of $103.4 million and $97.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements

In addition to deposits, repurchase agreements with commercial depositors, which include municipalities, provide an additional source of funds. Under repurchase agreements, deposit balances are invested in short-term U.S. government agency securities overnight and are then repurchased the following day. All outstanding repurchase agreements are due in one day and balances fluctuate in the normal course of business. Repurchase agreement balances decreased $52.7 million, or 4.8%, to $1,038.7 million as of June 30, 2021, from $1,091.4 million as of December 31, 2020, as a result of normal fluctuations in account balances.

Deferred Tax Asset / Liability

Our deferred tax liability, net, decreased $2.0 million, or 7.4%, to $25.2 million as of June 30, 2021, from $27.2 million as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to the decrease in our mark-to-market gains on investment securities partially offset by a decrease in our allowance for credit losses and a decrease in our incentive compensation accrual.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Stockholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, sales and redemptions of common stock, and changes in the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities. Stockholders’ equity increased $11.1 million, or 0.6%, to $1,970.9 million as of June 30, 2021, from $1,959.8 million as of December 31, 2020, due to the retention of earnings and proceeds from stock option exercises, which are partially offset by stock repurchases related to the stock repurchase program, stock repurchases of vested restricted shares tendered in lieu of cash for payment of income tax withholding amounts by participants, other comprehensive loss, and cash dividends paid.

On July 26, 2021, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.41 per common share, payable on August 19, 2021, to common stockholders of record as of August 9, 2021. The dividend equates to a 3.6% annual yield based on the $46.14 average closing pricing of the Company’s common stock during the second quarter of 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase shares of our Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 72,700 shares of our Class A common stock at a total cost of $2.9 million, including costs and commissions, at an average cost of $39.69 per share. As of June 30, 2021, there were 1.9 million shares remaining authorized under the repurchase program.

Table of Contents

As a bank holding company, the Company must comply with the capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve, and our subsidiary Bank must comply with the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The current risk-based guidelines applicable to us and our Bank are based on the Basel III framework, as implemented by the federal bank regulators. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had capital levels that, in all cases, exceeded the guidelines to be deemed “well-capitalized.” For additional information regarding our capital levels, see “Note – Regulatory Capital” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Liquidity. Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of clients, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return-on-investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities, and maturing or prepaying balances in our held-to-maturity investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market funds through non-core deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, additional borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window, and the issuance of preferred or common securities.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures, and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, debt financing, and increases in client deposits. For additional information regarding our operating, investing, and financing cash flows, see the unaudited “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part I, Item 1.

As a holding company, we are a corporation separate and apart from our subsidiary Bank and, therefore, we provide for our own liquidity. Our primary sources of funding include management fees and dividends declared and paid by the Bank and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory, and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations.

The Company continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. We are not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, we are not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2021, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021 were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted

Table of Contents

under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.

Limitations on Controls and Procedures

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting may not be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and government response to the pandemic has caused a significant global disruption which has adversely affected, and, may continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition.

The disease caused by the novel coronavirus (also known as, and referred to herein, as “COVID-19”), which was identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, created a global public-health crisis that resulted in challenging economic conditions for households and businesses around the world. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Federal, state, and local governments have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in a variety of ways including, without limitation, by declaring states of emergency, restricting people from gathering in groups or interacting within a certain physical distance (i.e., social distancing), ordering businesses to close or limit operations and ordering people to stay at home (i.e., shelter in place), and imposing travel restrictions (including quarantine requirements). The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected a broad range of industries, including banking, travel, hospitality, and entertainment. With the wide-spread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines, and the United States moving beyond the most acute phases of the pandemic into recovery, our branches and drive-ups are functioning at normal operating hours and are fully staffed. Although the impact of the COVID-19 vaccines has significantly reduced the spread of COVID-19 within the United States, there have been recent increases in the spread of COVID-19 in multiple regions across the United States, including new mutations, strains, and variants in the virus. This has resulted in a return of restrictions in certain regions of the United States, including mask mandates and other emergency measures. While to date, such measures have not been re-enacted in regions where the Company operates, the recent resurgence of certain strains of COVID-19 have created greater uncertainty as to the overall duration and severity of the pandemic. As a result, even with a burgeoning recovery, there continues to be some uncertainty as to the long-term effect on the economy and the Company.

Table of Contents

The Federal Reserve returned to a zero-interest rate policy in March 2020 and the U.S. government enacted several fiscal stimulus measures to counteract the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide economic assistance to businesses and households. The dramatic lowering of market interest rates in a short period of time had an adverse effect on the Company’s asset yields. The extent of these impacts will depend on future developments, including, among others, governmental, regulatory and private sector actions and responses, new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, new strains of the virus that causes COVID-19, and actions taken to contain or prevent further spread, each of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Recently, the U.S. government recently enacted another significant fiscal stimulus measure when the American Rescue Plan of 2021 was signed into law in March 2021.

Our business is dependent upon the ability and willingness of our clients to conduct banking and other financial transactions, including the payment of loan obligations. COVID-19 has and continues to disrupt the business, activities, and operations of our clients, which may cause a decline in demand for our products and services and which may, in turn, result in a significant decrease in our business, negatively impacting our liquidity position and financial results. Our financial results could also be impacted by an inability of our clients to meet their loan commitments because of their losses associated with the effects of COVID-19 on their businesses, resulting in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, declining collateral values, and other losses to our Bank. Moreover, current and future governmental action may temporarily require the Company to conduct business differently with respect to foreclosures, repossessions, payments, deferrals, and other client-related transactions.

Furthermore, commercial real estate markets have been particularly impacted by the economic disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the federal banking regulatory agencies have expressed concerns about weaknesses in the current commercial real estate market. Failures in our risk management policies, procedures, and controls could adversely affect our ability to manage this portfolio going forward and could result in an increased rate of delinquencies in, and increased losses from, this portfolio, which, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As a result of COVID-19 and certain measures taken by the U.S. government, our clients have experienced labor disruptions resulting from reduced employee availability and productivity. This may impact our clients’ operations and their ability to deliver products and services.

In addition, our workforce has been and may continue to be impacted by COVID-19. The precautions we are taking to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and clients, including temporary branch and office closures, may be inadequate, and we cannot predict the level of disruption that will occur to our employees’ ability to provide support and service to our clients. The spread could also negatively impact availability of key personnel and employee productivity, as well as the business and operations of third-party service providers who perform critical services for us, which could adversely impact our ability to deliver products and services to our clients.

There is pervasive uncertainty surrounding the future economic conditions that will emerge in the months and years following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent releases, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported a significant increase in inflation on the United States economy. It is not yet clear whether such increases will be transitory, related solely to the burgeoning recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic or whether recent reports represent the beginning of a longer-term trend. As a result, management is confronted with a significant and unfamiliar degree of uncertainty in estimating the impact of the pandemic on credit quality, revenues, and asset values. Asset quality may deteriorate and the amount of our allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient for future credit losses we may experience. This could require us to increase our reserves and recognize more expense in future periods. The changes in market rates of interest and the impact on our ability to price our products may reduce our net interest income in the future or negatively impact the demand for our products. There is also risk that operational costs could continue to increase as we maintain existing facilities in accordance with health guidelines, which could impact negatively the results of our operations and financial condition.

The extent to which the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Federal, state, and local government responses to it, fiscal stimulus, interest rate policies, and other government intervention, and the burgeoning recovery in the United States economy impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments that remain uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and continued duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of potential new strains of the virus, and additional actions taken by governmental authorities, and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
