NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
(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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The balance sheet information at December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications, none of which were material, have been made to conform the Company’s prior year financial statements to the September 30, 2022 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, 2021, which includes a description of significant accounting policies. Operating results for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
(2) Acquisition
Great Western Bank. On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (“Great Western”), the parent company of Great Western Bank (“GWB”), a Sioux Falls, South Dakota based community bank with 174 banking offices across Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The acquisition of GWB expanded the Company’s geographical footprint with an enhanced platform for future growth. Consideration for the acquisition was $1,723.3 million, consisting of the issuance of 46.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $36.76 per share, which was the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock market on the acquisition date. The acquisition was completed on February 1, 2022.
The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires purchased assets and liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged to be recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of estimated fair values required management to make certain estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, and market conditions at the time of the acquisition, as well as other future events that are highly subjective in nature. This determination is subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to the closing date fair values becomes available and such information is considered final, whichever is earlier.
The following table provides the provisional purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date and the Great Western assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date as amended for measurement period adjustments as of September 30, 2022. We recorded the estimate of fair value based on initial valuations available at the acquisition date. The excess value of the consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation resulted in provisional goodwill of $478.4 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment, community banking, and consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Great Western and the Company. Due to the recent closing of the transaction, all amounts reported are provisional pending the review of valuations obtained from third parties and other necessary information in support of related fair value accounting.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the fair value marks. These adjustments included increases of $0.9 million in other assets and $0.9 million in accrued expenses and a decrease of $0.2 million in premises and equipment, which resulted in a net increase to goodwill of $0.2 million from the June 30, 2022 reported balances. The related impact to net income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company determined the fair value of loans, core deposit and customer relationship intangible assets, investment securities, premises and equipment, leases, mortgage servicing rights, deposits, FHLB advances, subordinated debt, and subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists. The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.
FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
Investment Securities
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are based on observable inputs including quoted market prices for similar instruments, quoted market prices that are not in an active market or other inputs that are observable in the market. In the absence of observable inputs, fair value is estimated based on pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies.
Loans held for sale
The loans held for sale portfolio was recorded at fair value based on quotes or bids from third party investors.
Loans held for investment
A valuation of the loans held for investment portfolio was performed by a third party as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 820 to assess the fair value of the loan portfolio, considering adjustments for interest rate risk, required equity return, servicing, credit, and liquidity risk. The loans held for investment portfolio was segmented into two groups including purchase credit deteriorated (PCD) loans and non-PCD loans. The non-PCD loans were pooled based on similar characteristics, such as loan type, fixed or adjustable interest rates, payment type, index rate and caps/floors, and non-accrual status. The PCD loans were valued at the loan level with similar characteristics noted above. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate utilized to analyze fair value considered the cost of funds rate, capital charge, servicing costs, and liquidity premium, mostly based on industry standards.
The Company is required to record PCD assets, defined as a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination or issuance, at the purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition. Under this method, there is no credit loss expense affecting net income on acquisition of PCD assets. Changes in estimates of expected credit losses after acquisition are recognized in subsequent periods as credit loss expense (or reversal of credit loss expense) arise. Any non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring a pool of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration is allocated to each individual asset. At the acquisition date, the initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual assets to appropriately allocate any non-credit discount or premium. The non-credit discount or premium, after the adjustment for the allowance for credit losses, is accreted to interest income using the interest method based on the effective interest rate determined after the adjustment for credit losses at the adoption date. Information regarding loans acquired at the acquisition date as amended for measurement period adjustments as of September 30, 2022 were as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
Core deposit intangible
Core deposit intangible assets of $50.1 million on non-maturing deposits were determined by evaluating the underlying characteristics of the deposit relationships, including customer attrition, deposit interest rates and maintenance costs, and costs of alternative funding using the discounted cash flow approach. The core deposit intangibles represent the costs saved by the Company between maintaining the existing deposits and obtaining alternative funds over the life of the deposit base. These costs are amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of 10 years for the related deposits.
Premises and equipment
The fair values of premises are based on a market approach, using third-party appraisals and other analysis of value for land and premises.
Deposits
The fair values used for the demand and savings deposits equal the amounts payable on demand at the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of certificates of deposit, the cash flows of the contractual interest payments during the specific period of the certificates of deposit and scheduled principal payout were discounted to present value at market-based interest rates.
Customer relationship intangible
Customer relationship intangible assets of $22.8 million were determined using an excess earnings model associated with the expected fee income related to the underlying client relationships and is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 12 years.
FHLB advances
The fair value of fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”) advances was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The cash flows of the advances were projected based on scheduled payments of the fixed rate advances, which factored in prepayment fees. The cash flows were then discounted to present value using the FHLB rates as of February 1, 2022.
Subordinated debt and subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts
The fair value of subordinated debt and subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts was determined by using a discounted cash flow method using a market participant discount rate for similar instruments over the remaining terms.
Acquisition related expenses related to the GWB acquisition of $4.0 million and $115.0 million for the three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were included as a component of non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income, of which none and approximately $26.8 million for the three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, are acquisition related costs as defined by ASC 805. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company contributed $21.5 million to the First Interstate Foundation and reimbursed an aggregate of $8.2 million of the Scott family control group’s acquisition expenses pursuant to the Agreement.
The accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, include the results of operations of the acquired entity from the February 1, 2022 acquisition date. The disclosure of GWB post-acquisition revenue and net income is not practical due to the combining of certain GWB operations with and into FIB as of the acquisition date. GWB was merged with our existing bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, contemporaneously with the closing of the parent company merger. The core system conversion was completed on May 23, 2022.

(3) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Management analyzes its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, such as upon material adverse changes in legal, business, regulatory, and economic factors. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company performed an impairment assessment as of July 1, 2022 and 2021 and concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill.

The Company recorded $4.1 million and $2.4 million of other intangible asset amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and recorded $11.8 million and $7.4 million of other intangible asset amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively
CDI and OCRI are evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. CDI is amortized using an accelerated method based on the estimated weighted average useful lives of the related deposits, which is generally 10 years. OCRI is amortized using a straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 12 years based on customer revenue attrition on an annualized basis.

(4) Investment Securities
The amortized cost and the approximate fair values of investment securities are summarized as follows:
(1) Amortized cost presented above include $20.8 million of unamortized losses and $15.2 million of unamortized gains in U.S. agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations related to the 2021 and 2022 transfer of securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.
(1)Amortized cost presented above include $20.1 million of unamortized gains in U.S. agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations related to the 2021 transfer of securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.
On February 1, 2022, in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB and under ASC 320, the Company transferred debt securities classified as held-to-maturity with an amortized cost of $10.7 million and an estimated fair value of $10.9 million to the available-for-sale category classification and transferred debt securities classified as available-for-sale with an amortized cost of $485.9 million and an estimated fair value of $463.6 million to the held-to-maturity classification to maintain the Company’s intended risk profile. The transfer of debt securities into the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity categories were recorded at fair value on the date of transfer. This discount, as well as the related unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income, will be amortized into interest income as a yield adjustment over the remaining term of the securities. The amortization of the unrealized loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income will offset the effect on interest income of the accretion of the discount. No gains or losses were recorded at the time of transfer.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no holdings of securities of any issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.
The Company acquired $2,356.9 million of available-for-sale securities and $342.1 million of held-to-maturity securities in connection with the acquisition of GWB. Such securities were evaluated and it was determined that there were no investment securities that met the definition of a PCD asset and none were classified as PCD upon acquisition.
The Company determines credit losses on both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities by a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s effective interest rate at the time of purchase or upon acquisition. The allowance for credit losses is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss. Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are representative of current expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment. The allowance for credit losses is established through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings.
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 Company had no allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 1,239 and 285 individual investment securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, which was related primarily to fluctuations in current interest rates. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had the intent and ability to hold these investment securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery. 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.
The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity securities classified as corporate and state, county, and municipal securities:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
On a quarterly basis, the Company refreshes the credit quality of each held-to-maturity security. The following table summarizes the credit quality indicators of held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost for the periods indicated:
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $34.3 million and $16.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not consider accrued interest receivable in the carrying amount of financial assets held at the amortized cost basis or in the allowance for credit losses calculation.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities on nonaccrual status. All securities in the portfolio were current with their contractual principal and interest payments.

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.

Residential real estate loans that the Company originated with the intent to sell are recorded at fair value. Conforming agency mortgage production is sold on a servicing retained basis. Certain loans, such as government guaranteed mortgage loans, are sold on a servicing released basis. The fair value of loans held for sale are primarily determined based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets or outstanding commitments from third-party investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to non-interest income in the consolidated statements from operations. Net gains and losses on loan sales are recorded as a component of non-interest income.
As of September 30, 2022, loans held for sale included nonaccrual loans of $43.1 million, of which $30.7 million were agricultural loans and $12.4 million was a commercial construction loan. There were no loans held for sale that were considered a troubled debt restructuring as of September 30, 2022.
On February 1, 2022, in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB, agricultural loans with a carrying value of $155.8 million and commercial loans with a carrying value of $24.0 million were reclassified as loans held for sale from loans held for investment due to management’s intent and decision to sell the loans.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
Subsequent to the acquisition date, agricultural loans with a carrying value of $19.8 million were reclassified from loans held for sale to loans held for investment due to management’s change in intent and decision not to sell the loans. On the date of transfer, the amortized cost exceeded the fair value of the loans due to credit deterioration. The Company recorded a charge-off of $5.1 million to the allowance for credit losses, which established a new aggregate cost basis for the loans of $14.7 million on the date of transfer. In addition to the reclassification of agricultural loans, subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company increased the fair value mark on loans held for sale of $35.1 million, transferred a $12.4 million legacy commercial construction loan from loans held for investment to loans held for sale, sold $23.4 million of commercial loans, and recorded $108.7 million of net repayments and discounted pay-offs.

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, its sources of repayment become inadequate over time. At such time, the Company develops an expectation that repayment will be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

(1) As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were $0.6 million and no reversals of accrued interest at September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. 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 through negotiation with the borrower in connection with the ongoing loan collection processes. Loan modifications are made to provide borrowers payment relief and typically include adjustments such as changes to interest rates, the implementation of interest only periods of less than twelve months, the deferment of short-term payments, and extension of amortization periods. 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 exhibited sustained repayment performance in compliance with the restructuring agreement for a period of at least six months and the Company 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 same time 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 evaluated individually for credit deterioration in the ordinary course of business.
The Company renegotiated loans in troubled debt restructurings in the amount of $68.1 million as of September 30, 2022, of which $8.4 million were included in non-accrual loans and $59.7 million were on accrual status. As of September 30, 2022, the Company allocated $0.4 million of its allowance for credit losses to these loans. The Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans had been renegotiated or classified as non-accrual.
The Company renegotiated loans in troubled debt restructurings in the amount of $6.2 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $3.9 million were included in non-accrual loans and $2.3 million were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2021, the Company allocated $0.1 million of its allowance for credit losses to these loans. The Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans had been renegotiated or classified as non-accrual.

For troubled debt restructurings that were on non-accrual status or otherwise deemed collateral-dependent before a modification, the Company may record an allowance for credit losses depending on the circumstances. In periods after 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 $5.7 million in charge-offs directly related to modifying an acquired PCD loan, for which a troubled debt restructuring was initiated during the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company had no charge-offs directly related to troubled debt restructurings during the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The Company had no material troubled debt restructurings resulting in payment default during the previous 12 months ended September 30, 2022. The Company considers a payment default to occur on troubled debt restructurings when the loan is 90 days or more past due or the loan is placed on non-accrual status after the modification.
The Company modified the terms of certain other loans with a total recorded investment of $191.4 million as of September 30, 2022, where the loan did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring and the borrowers had not been experiencing financial difficulties or there were delays in a payment considered to be insignificant. The Company determines whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by evaluating the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification as required under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans (PCD)
The Company analyzes all acquired loans at the time of acquisition for more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination date. Such loans are classified as PCD, also referred to as PCD loans. Acquired loans classified as PCD are recorded at an initial amortized cost, which is comprised of the purchase price of the loans plus the initial allowance for credit losses for the loans, and any resulting discount or premium related to factors other than credit. The Company accounts for interest income on PCD loans using the interest method, whereby any purchase discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized into interest income as an adjustment of the loan’s yield.
The following table reconciles the par value, or initial amortized cost, of PCD loans acquired in the GWB acquisition as of the date of the acquisition with the purchase price (or initial fair value of the loans) as amended for measurement period adjustments as of September 30, 2022:

(1)For acquired PCD loans, an allowance of $298.2 million was required with a corresponding increase to the amortized cost basis as of the acquisition date. For PCD loans where all or a portion of the loan balance had been previously written-off by GWB, or would be subject to write-off under the Company’s charge-off policy, a CECL allowance of $238.7 million, included as part of the grossed-up loan balance at acquisition was immediately written-off. The net impact to the allowance for PCD assets on the acquisition date was $59.5 million.
(2)Non-credit discount includes the difference between the amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance of $39.6 million established on GWB PCD loans acquired and interest applied to principal of $18.1 million.
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. The factors considered by the Company include, among other factors, the borrower’s 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.
Substandard — includes loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower which have well-defined 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 based on 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 pass-rated loans.

(7) Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is a category of real estate owned by the Company as a result of a default by the borrower. Information with respect to the Company’s other real estate owned is reflected in the following table:
FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
The carrying value of foreclosed residential real estate properties included in other real estate owned was not material as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company had no material recorded investments in consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process of foreclosure as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
(8) 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.
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 on 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges on the trust preferred securities 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 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the existing variable-rate borrowings (trust preferred securities). The trades that the Company had in place on its trust preferred securities matured during the first and second quarters of 2022. As part of the Company’s overall asset and liability management strategy, in August 2022 the Company entered into two interest rate collars related to variable-rate loans that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $300.0 million. The collars designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fixes the interest income received by the Company when the collar index falls below a floor rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar and when the collar index exceeds the cap rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
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 (loss) 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 (loss) income related to derivatives will be reclassified as interest expense when interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that no material amounts 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. During 2021, the Company entered into two forward starting, fixed interest rate fair value hedges associated with U.S. Treasury securities. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the $500.0 million, two-year forward starting, three-year pay-fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $23.3 million gain. The gain associated with the $500.0 million interest rate swap was to be accreted into income through May 2026. However, the U.S. Treasury securities associated with the swap were sold during the third quarter of 2022. As such, the gain was accreted through August 2022 and then in September 2022 the remaining gain was recognized as income. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the $200.0 million, three-year forward starting, four-year pay fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $8.5 million gain that will be accreted into income through July 2028.
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:

Non-designated Hedge Derivatives
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.
Risk Participation Agreements
The Company acquired from GWB risk participation agreements under which it assumes credit risk associated with a borrower’s performance related to derivative contracts. The Company only enters into these credit risk participation agreements in instances in which the Company is also a party to the related loan participation agreements for such borrowers. The Company manages its credit risk under risk participation agreements by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrower, based on its normal credit review process.
The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative instruments on a gross and net basis for the periods indicated. The derivative asset and liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the variation margin payments with central clearing organizations have been applied as settlement, as applicable. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted to take into account the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to settle all derivative contracts with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net derivative position with the related cash collateral. Securities collateral related to legally enforceable master netting agreements is not offset on the balance sheet.

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 September 30, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was $5.6 million related to these agreements. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has not posted excess collateral. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $5.6 million.
(9) Capital Stock
On February 1, 2022, the Company issued 46,879,601 shares of its Class A common stock with an aggregate value of approximately $1.7 billion as consideration for the acquisition of Great Western. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company also issued 33,769 shares and 19,081 shares, respectively, of its Class A common stock to directors for their annual service on the Company's board of directors. The aggregate value of the shares issued to directors is included in employee benefits in the consolidated statement of income and in stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity.
On March 25, 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”). No additional shares of Class B common stock are permitted to be issued. The conversion occurred automatically pursuant to the Company’s Charter because the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class B common stock represented on March 25, 2022, the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, was less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number of all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Company. The former holders of Class B common stock now hold Class A common stock with the same voting powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the other holders of Class A common stock. All shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock are now composed solely of shares of Class A common stock and are entitled to one vote per share. The Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol “FIBK”.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
On May 25, 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted a new stock repurchase program to replace the program that had been in place since 2019 and had 1,889,158 shares of Class A common stock remaining to be purchased thereunder. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 5.0 million of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock. There were 3,279,300 shares repurchased and retired under the new program during the three months ended September 30, 2022 at a total cost of $133.1 million, including costs and commissions, at an average cost of $40.59 per share. The shares of common stock repurchased during the period completes the 5.0 million shares authorized to be repurchased. The 5.0 million shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were purchased at a total cost of $197.4 million, including costs and commissions, at an average per share cost of $39.48.
All other stock repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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.
The Company had 104,450,804 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The Company had 41,699,409 shares of Class A common stock and 20,501,047 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021.
(10) 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
In connection with the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Loss accounting standard (“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 elected to opt into the transition election and adopted transition relief over the permissible five-year period.
(12) Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various claims and litigation. The Company establishes accruals for legal matters when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the amounts that the Company has accrued. Accruals for legal matters are based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel and others. 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had commitments under construction contracts of $1.6 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 $1.0 million of sold residential mortgage loans with recourse provisions still in effect as of September 30, 2022.
(13) 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 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 so 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.

(15) 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.
FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
The three levels of inputs 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 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
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 the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
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 residential mortgage 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. Commercial and agricultural loans held for sale are derived from quotes or bids from third party investors.
Interest Rate Collars: The fair values of interest rate collars are obtained from an independent third party. The values are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors (caps). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the collars are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. 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, was not significant in the reported periods. The Company also compares the reasonableness of the pricing semi-annually through a validation process involving additional independent third parties.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. Fair values for derivative interest rate swap contracts are obtained from an independent third party. The values 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 Secured Overnight Financing 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, was not significant in the reported periods.

For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, we evaluate both our credit risk and 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.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had collateral-dependent loans with a carrying and fair value of $57.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying and fair values aggregating $6.7 million, with no write-downs charged to other expense. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying and fair values aggregating $1.3 million, with no write-downs charged to other expense.

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 that are 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.

(17) Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance
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 of 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 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.
ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations Topic 805, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The amendments require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments also provide certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination and applies to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which the provisions of Topic 606 apply. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period, for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. 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.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)
ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method” In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815, Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method that clarifies the accounting for and promotes consistency in the reporting of hedge basis adjustments applicable to both a single hedged layer and multiple hedged layers. The amendments allow nonprepayable financial assets also to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. Early adoption in an interim period is permitted for public business entities, with the effect of adopting the amendments related to basis adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. 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.
ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures that eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendment also requires an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption of the amendments are permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. 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.

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. We operate 308 banking offices, including detached drive-up facilities, in communities across fourteen states—Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, 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
•Professional services
•Tourism
•Construction
•Healthcare
•Real Estate Development
•Wholesale trade
•Education
•Hospitality
•Retail
•Energy
•Housing
•Technology
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.
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. From time to time, we also incur acquisition costs related to our strategic acquisitions.
Recent Trends and Developments
During the past few years, we have increased our community banking footprint across the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions and have expanded into the Midwest and Southwest regions, in large part due to our acquisition activity. We continue to evaluate bank acquisitions and other strategic opportunities on an on-going basis.
On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (“Great Western”), the parent company of Great Western Bank (“GWB”), a Sioux Falls, South Dakota based community bank with 174 banking offices across Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The acquisition of GWB expanded the Company’s geographical footprint with an enhanced platform for future growth. Consideration for the acquisition was $1,723.3 million, consisting of the issuance of 46.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $36.76 per share, which was the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock market on the acquisition date. The acquisition was completed on February 1, 2022 and core systems converted in May 2022, at which point GWB’s operations were integrated with the Company’s operations. The accompanying consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, include the results of operations of the acquired entity from the February 1, 2022 acquisition date.
On March 25, 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”). No additional shares of Class B common stock are permitted to be issued. The former holders of Class B common stock now hold Class A common stock with the same voting powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the other holders of Class A common stock.

U.S. inflation data hit a multi-decade high in June 2022, climbing to 9.1%, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and then decreased slightly to 8.2% in September 2022. The effect of inflation on the Company differs significantly from the effect on other industries. While our operating expenses are affected by general inflation, the asset and liability structure of the Company is largely of monetary items. Monetary items, such as cash, investments, loans, deposits and other borrowings, are those assets and liabilities which are or will be converted into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does general inflation. However, inflation may have negative impacts on the Company’s clients, on businesses and consumers and their ability or willingness to invest, save or spend, and perhaps on their ability to repay loans.
The Federal Reserve has stated its objective of returning inflation to 2% and has been aggressively acting to achieve this goal. The Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates 25 basis points on March 16, 2022, 50 basis points on May 4, 2022, 75 basis points on June 15, 2022, 75 basis points on July 27, 2022, 75 basis points on September 21, 2022, and another 75 basis points on November 2, 2022. The Federal Reserve has also signaled an expectation on ongoing increases in the short-term interest rates at each of its remaining meetings in 2022, with a target rate of 4.40% by December 31, 2022. Prior to this, short-term interest rates had remained steady since March 2020. With these recent interest rate increases, the short end (up to two years) of the yield curve has steepened. While net interest margins remain below historical levels, net interest income continues to rise as a result of higher yields and a more favorable asset mix. However, increases in interest rates may have negative impacts on the Company’s clients and their ability to repay loans.
Gross domestic product declined for the first and second quarters of 2022 with the recent advance estimate released for the third quarter of 2022 suggesting a 2.6% increase for the quarter ending September 30, 2022. It is unclear whether the economic performance of the U.S. economy suffered a minor slip in 2022 from its regular pattern of growth or whether the negative growth is the beginning of a more sustained economic slowdown, downturn, or recession; any one of these could impact the Company whether it impacts the level of deposits by our clients, whether by causing higher volume of withdrawals or lower volume of deposits, and thus impacting one of our primary lending sources. The credit quality of the Company’s loans may also be impacted as clients weather adverse economic conditions which could result in an increase in credit losses or other related expenses.
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, although it has had varying degrees of disruptions and restrictions on our borrowers and to our borrowers’ operations, staffing, and demand for certain products and services.
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 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, 2021, 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, 2021.
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, 2021, as referenced in Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements 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, 2021, during the quarterly period covered by this quarterly report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to measure the company’s financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating expenses. Management considers changes in interest rates to impact our financial condition and results of operations to a far greater degree than changes in prices due to inflation. We manage our interest rate risk in several ways. Refer to “Note – Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion on how we manage interest rate risk. There can be no assurance that we will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates, as interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control.
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide detail about the results of our operations and financial condition.
Net income increased $38.6 million, or 82.0%, to $85.7 million, or $0.80 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net income of $47.1 million, or $0.76 per share for the same period in 2021. The increase during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Great Western, partially offset by the loss on the sale of securities. Net income decreased $24.6 million, or 17.4%, to $116.4 million, or $1.13 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to net income of $141.0 million, or $2.29 per share for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the loss on sale of securities, along with the acquisition costs and the purchase accounting provision expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 associated with the acquisition of Great Western.
Net Interest Income
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest the Company earns on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the expense the Company pays on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends on both the volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates the Company earns or pays on them.
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.

(1)Average loan balances include loans held for sale and non-accrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs of $0.7 million and $13.6 million at September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
(2)Interest income and average rates for tax exempt loans and securities are presented on a fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, basis utilizing the 21% federal income tax rate.

(4) Calculated by dividing total annualized interest on interest bearing liabilities by the sum of total interest-bearing liabilities plus non-interest-bearing deposits.
Net interest income included interest accretion related to the fair valuation of acquired loans of $17.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to interest accretion of $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Net interest income increased $139.7 million, or 109.9%, to $266.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $127.1 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is a result of the growth in average earning assets, primarily related to the GWB acquisition, a favorable shift in the mix of earning assets, and higher yields on earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease of $13.9 million in PPP loan income and higher interest expense. The Company earned a total of $0.3 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $14.2 million of interest income, including loan fees, on PPP loans for the same period in 2021.

Net interest income included interest accretion related to the fair valuation of acquired loans of $34.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to interest accretion of $7.2 million for the same period in 2021.
Our net FTE interest margin ratio increased 81 basis points to 3.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 2.90% for the same period in 2021. Similarly, our net FTE interest margin ratio increased 36 basis points to 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 2.91% for the same period in 2021. The increases in net FTE interest margin ratio during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, were primarily the result of increased yields on earning assets, due to a shift in the mix of earning assets toward investment securities and loans, and higher yields on loans, investment securities and cash.
Exclusive of the impact of interest accretion on acquired loans and PPP loan income, our net FTE interest margin ratio was 3.47% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 2.60% for the same period in 2021, or an 87-basis point increase, and 3.06% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 2.69% in the same period in 2021, or a 37-basis point increase. These increases were primarily the result of increased yields on earning assets and a shift in the mix of earning assets toward loans and investment securities and away from cash.
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 the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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 an $8.4 million provision for credit losses during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to no provision for or reversal of credit losses during same period in 2021. The provision incorporated the impact of net charge-offs of $12.0 million, or an annualized 0.27% of average loans outstanding, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.6 million, or an annualized 0.02% of average loans outstanding during same period in 2021. The Company had a $68.0 million provision for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to a $5.1 million reversal of credit losses during same period in 2021. The provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $68.3 million related to the acquired non-PCD loans, $5.9 million related to the unfunded commitments, $1.9 million related to the held-to-maturity securities, and a net provision reversal of $8.1 million as a result of sustained improvement in loan quality trends in certain loan categories, offset by a negative trend in the economic outlook. The nine months ended September 30, 2022 provision considered the impact of net charge-offs of $29.0 million, or an annualized 0.24% of average loans outstanding, compared to $4.6 million, or an annualized 0.06% of average loans outstanding during same period in 2021. Charge-offs incurred during the first nine months of 2022 were primarily related to the restructuring of loans acquired in the GWB transaction.
For information regarding our non-performing loans, see “Financial Condition – Non-Performing Assets” included herein. For more information on our allowance for credit losses, see “Financial Condition – Allowance for Credit Losses” included herein.
Non-interest income also contributes to our operating results with 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 being our principal source of non-interest income.

Total non-interest income decreased $16.6 million, or 42.0%, to $22.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $39.5 million for the same period in 2021 and increased $8.7 million, or 7.7%, to $121.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $112.9 million for the same period in 2021. Significant components of theses 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 $8.2 million, or 67.2%, to $20.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $12.2 million earned during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, payment services revenues increased $20.9 million, or 61.8%, to $54.7 million, as compared to $33.8 million during the same period in 2021. The increase in payment services revenues is mainly the result of increased volume associated with the acquisition of GWB and overall higher business credit card volume during the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
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 $8.9 million, or 76.7%, to $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $11.6 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mortgage banking revenues decreased $16.7 million, or 50.9%, to $16.1 million as compared to $32.8 million during the same period in 2021. Included in the nine months ending September 30, 2022 was a $3.4 million recovery of mortgage servicing rights impairment compared to a $5.9 million recovery of impairment during the same period in 2021. Excluding the impairment recovery in both periods, mortgage banking revenues decreased $14.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in mortgage banking revenues was driven by a decline in both home loan production volume and tighter gain-on-sale spreads, largely as a result of higher interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Wealth management revenues are principally comprised of fees earned for management of trust assets and investment services. Wealth management revenues increased $2.0 million, or 30.8%, to $8.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $6.5 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, wealth management revenues increased $6.8 million, or 35.6%, to $25.9 million as compared to $19.1 million during the same period in 2021. The increases are primarily due to increased volume associated with the acquisition of GWB, which were partially offset by the decline in market values impacting assets under management. The Company had $7.3 billion of assets under management at September 30, 2022 compared to $5.7 billion at September 30, 2021.
Service charge fees are primarily driven by service and overdraft charges on deposit accounts. Service charges increased $1.3 million, or 29.5%, to $5.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, service charges on deposit accounts increased $7.6 million, or 62.8%, to $19.7 million as compared to $12.1 million during the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased volume as a result of the acquisition of GWB, partially offset by the Company’s decision to discontinue assessing non-sufficient fund charges and reducing overdraft fees.
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 increased $3.3 million, or 235.7%, to $4.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $1.4 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other service charges, commissions and fees increased $7.5 million, or 147.1%, to $12.6 million as compared to $5.1 million during the same period in 2021. The increases were primarily due to increased volume as a result of the acquisition of GWB and increased swap fee revenues earned on derivative interest rate swap contracts offered to clients during the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Investment securities gains (losses), net includes realized gains and losses associated with the sales of investment securities. Investment securities gain (losses), net decreased $24.5 million to a loss of $24.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to a gain of $0.3 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, investment securities gains (losses), net decreased $24.6 million to a loss of $24.4 million as compared to a gain of $0.2 million during the same period in 2021. The decrease was due to a loss of $46.3 million incurred on the sale of $500 million in U.S. treasury notes previously swapped. The loss was offset by the recognition of a deferred swap termination gain of $22.1 million.
Other income primarily includes company-owned life insurance revenues, check printing income, agency stock dividends, and gains on sales of miscellaneous assets. Other income increased $2.0 million, or 64.5%, to $5.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $3.1 million during the same period in 2021 primarily due to an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income increased $7.2 million or 73.5%, to $17.0 million as compared to $9.8 million during the same period in 2021. The increases were primarily due to an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, gains on the sale of premises and equipment, a $1.7 million recovery in the credit valuation discount on derivatives acquired in the GWB acquisition, and a $1.4 million gain on the disposition of the GWB acquired subordinated debt.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $67.3 million, or 63.6%, to $173.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $105.9 million during the same period in 2021 and increased $287.4 million, or 94.8%, to $590.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $303.3 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase was mainly a result of $115.0 million of acquisition expenses related to the GWB acquisition, increased expenses related to the now combined operations, post-GWB acquisition, and higher incentive and donation expenses as a result of Company performance. Expenses related to acquisitions include legal fees, consulting fees, investment banking fees, conversion and contract termination costs, and retention and severance compensation costs. Other significant components of non-interest expense are discussed below. For additional information regarding acquisitions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments” included herein and “Note 2 – Acquisitions” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Salaries and wages expense increased $29.9 million, or 71.2%, to $71.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $42.0 million during the same period in 2021 and increased $84.1 million, or 68.6%, to $206.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $122.6 million during the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of the additional employee-related expenses resulting from the acquisition of GWB and higher incentive accruals, which were partially offset by lower commission expenses.
Employee benefits expense increased $6.7 million, or 51.9%, to $19.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $12.9 million during the same period in 2021 and increased $16.5 million, or 37.8%, to $60.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $43.7 million during the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher benefit costs related to the additional employees resulting from the GWB acquisition.
Outsourced technology services expense increased $7.7 million, or 93.9%, to $15.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $8.2 million during the same period in 2021 and increased $15.3 million, or 61.9%, to $40.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $24.7 million during the same period in 2021. The increases are primarily due to technology costs associated with higher transaction volumes associated with the GWB acquisition.
The increases in occupancy, net expense, furniture and equipment, professional fees, FDIC insurance premiums, and other intangibles amortization during the three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021 are primarily due to additional operating expenses, maintenance and repairs, depreciation and amortization, legal and consulting costs from the acquisition of additional banking offices as a result of the GWB acquisition.
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 $13.8 million, or 78.4%, to $31.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $17.6 million during the same period in 2021. Other expenses increased $33.1 million, or 66.7%, to $82.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $49.6 million during the same period in 2021. Increases in other expenses in both periods are mainly attributable to the GWB acquisition and increases in travel, donations, postage, internet, telephone, insurance, credit and debit card processing, credit card rewards, and public relation and promotions expenses. The Company contributes 2% of its net income before tax, which also resulted in higher donations expense in both periods.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate was 20.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 22.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 22.2% for the same period in 2021.
Total assets increased $11,672.8 million, or 59.3%, to $31,344.7 million as of September 30, 2022, from $19,671.9 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $13,353.3 million of assets acquired in the acquisition of GWB. Significant fluctuations in balance sheet accounts are discussed below. More information regarding the results as of December 31, 2021 can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale consist of residential mortgage loans pending sale to investors in the secondary market and loans reclassified from loans held for investment due to management’s intent and decision to sell the loans. Loans held for sale increased $63.5 million, or 211.0%, to $93.6 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $30.1 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $217.0 million of certain agricultural and commercial loans transferred from loans held for investment to loans held for sale as a result of the GWB acquisition and a transfer of a commercial construction loan from loans held for investment during the third quarter of 2022, which was partially offset by resolutions of loans acquired from GWB and a decrease in mortgage loan refinance activity.
Loans Held for Investment, Net of Deferred Fees and Costs
Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and costs, increased $8,271.8 million, or 88.6%, to $17,603.5 million as of September 30, 2022, as compared to $9,331.7 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $7,705.0 million of loans acquired that were classified as held for investment in the GWB acquisition. Loans held for investment included PPP loans, net of deferred fees, of $5.9 million and $96.3 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Excluding the impact of GWB acquired loans and PPP loans, loans held for investment as of September 30, 2022, increased $657.2 million from December 31, 2021, primarily driven by increases in real estate and commercial loans, partially offset by decreases in agricultural and consumer loans.
The following table presents the composition and comparison of loans held for investment, including the February 1, 2022 loans acquired from GWB:

Non-performing loans. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.
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 increased approximately $54.5 million, or 218.9%, to $79.4 million, as of September 30, 2022, from $24.9 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the loans acquired from GWB.
Accruing loans past due 90 days or more increased $3.8 million, or 135.7%.

(1)Accruing loans modified in trouble debt restructurings are not considered non-performing loans as the loans are performing as agreed under their modified terms and management expects performance to continue.
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, measured 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 which 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)Qualitative 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.
As part of the qualitative adjustments, the Company considers future economic conditions over the one-year forecast period. There are 10 economic factors that are considered in our assessment which are compared against the Moody’s Analytics economic scenarios. The outcome of this analysis adjusts the one-year forecasted expectations which are incorporated into the qualitative adjustments. Other qualitative factors, including changes in loan and lending policies, underwriting standards and personnel, and assessments of portfolio loan quality, among others, are also considered. During the period ending September 30, 2022, other qualitative factors were adjusted based on our assessment of loan quality and sustained loan quality trends in certain loan categories, offset by a more conservative set of assumptions about the economic outlook.
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. The Company established an allowance for credit losses and recorded a provision of $68.3 million on GWB non-PCD loans acquired. 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. On February 1, 2022, the Company established a provisional allowance for credit losses of $84.3 million, which was adjusted as a result of a fair value re-evaluation during the second quarter of 2022 by $24.8 million to $59.5 million on GWB PCD loans acquired. 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. The difference between the amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance of $31.2 million was established on GWB PCD loans acquired on February 1, 2022 and adjusted as a as a result of a fair value re-evaluation during the second quarter of 2022 by $8.4 million to $39.6 million. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment.
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.
Our allowance for credit losses on loans was $213.0 million, or 1.21% of loans held for investment as of September 30, 2022, including PPP loans, as compared to $122.3 million, or 1.31% of loans held for investment, as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in the percentage from December 31, 2021 is primarily a result of the improvement in the credit quality and sustained loan quality trends of our portfolio, partially offset by a more cautious 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.
Although we have established our allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP in the United States and we believe that the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times, future provisions will be subject to on-going evaluations of the risks in the loan portfolio. If the economy declines or asset quality deteriorates, material additional provisions could be required.
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. treasuries, U.S. government agency residential and commercial 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 the 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 $3,761.0 million, or 57.8%, to $10,269.1 million as of September 30, 2022, from $6,508.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to $2,699.0 million of securities acquired in the GWB acquisition and the redeployment of cash and cash equivalents into the securities portfolio. In conjunction with the acquisition of GWB, the Company transferred debt securities categorized as held-to-maturity with an estimated fair value of $10.9 million to the available-for-sale category classification and transferred debt securities categorized as available-for-sale with an estimated fair value of $463.6 million to the held-to-maturity classification during the first quarter of 2022.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the $500.0 million, two-year forward starting, three-year pay-fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $23.3 million gain. The gain associated with the $500.0 million interest rate swap was to be accreted into income through May 2026. However, the U.S. Treasury securities associated with the swap were sold on September 1, 2022 for a loss of $46.3 million. As such, the derivative gain was accreted through August 2022 and then in September 2022 the remaining derivative gain was recognized as income in investment securities gains (losses), for a net loss of $24.2 million. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company also terminated the $200.0 million, three-year forward starting, four-year pay fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $8.5 million gain that will be accreted into income through July 2028.
As of September 30, 2022, the estimated duration of our investment portfolio was 3.9 years, as compared to 3.6 years as of December 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, we had $2,065.2 million of investment securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. At September 30, 2022, the Company has an allowance for credit losses on held-to maturity securities classified as corporate and municipal securities of $1.9 million. There was no allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2021.
Goodwill
Goodwill increased $478.4 million, or 77.0%, to $1,100.0 million as of September 30, 2022, from $621.6 million as of December 31, 2021, attributable to the provisional goodwill recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB.
Company-Owned Life Insurance
Company-owned life insurance increased $194.1 million, or 64.4%, to $495.6 million as of September 30, 2022, from $301.5 million as of December 31, 2021, attributable to provisional amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB.
Other Intangibles, Net of Accumulated Amortization
Other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, increased $59.7 million, or 144.6%, to $101.0 million as of September 30, 2022, from $41.3 million as of December 31, 2021, attributable to provisional core deposit intangibles of $50.1 million and other customer relationship intangibles of $22.8 million recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB, partially offset by the intangible related to health savings accounts that were sold during the second quarter of 2022 and amortization expense.
Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation increased $145.8 million, or 48.7%, to $445.4 million as of September 30, 2022, from $299.6 million as of December 31, 2021, attributable to provisional amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB offset by depreciation expense.
Total liabilities increased $10,653.9 million, or 60.2%, to $28,339.2 million as of September 30, 2022, from $17,685.3 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $12,108.4 million of liabilities assumed with the acquisition of GWB, which was partially offset by the redemption of the subordinated debt and payoff of the FHLB advances assumed with the acquisition of GWB. Significant fluctuations in liability accounts are discussed below.
Deposits
Our deposits consist of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing demand, savings, individual retirement, and time deposit accounts. Total deposits increased $9,615.2 million, or 59.1%, to $25,884.8 million as of September 30, 2022, from $16,269.6 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $11,688.0 million in deposit balances acquired as a result of the GWB acquisition. Exclusive of the $11,688.0 million of deposits acquired in the GWB acquisition on February 1, deposits subsequently decreased $2,072.8 million, or 12.7%, compared to December 31, 2021, largely due to a decrease in higher-cost, non-relationship deposits acquired from GWB, held in interest-bearing savings and time deposits, $250 and over.

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 increased $24.5 million, or 2.3%, to $1,075.6 million as of September 30, 2022, from $1,051.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily related to $74.0 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements acquired from GWB in addition to the more typical fluctuations in repurchase agreement balances that correspond with fluctuations in the liquidity of the Company’s clients.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $304.5 million, or 205.2%, to $452.9 million as of September 30, 2022, from $148.4 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to $111.0 million of provisional amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB, the deferral of $34.0 million in payment service incentives primarily related to the GWB acquisition, and an increase in derivative liabilities of $110.3 million.
Other Borrowed Funds
Other borrowed funds increased $625.0 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, primarily due to the Company’s overnight borrowing with the Federal Home Loan Bank during the third quarter of 2022.
Subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts increased $76.1 million, or 87.5%, to $163.1 million as of September 30, 2022, from $87.0 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to provisional amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB.

As of September 30, 2022, we had a net deferred tax asset of $223.8 million, as compared to a net deferred tax liability of $9.3 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to the provisional net deferred tax asset benefit recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB and the increase in our mark-to-market losses on investment securities.
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 $1,018.9 million, or 51.3%, to $3,005.5 million as of September 30, 2022, from $1,986.6 million as of December 31, 2021, due to the issuance of additional Class A common stock as consideration for the acquisition of GWB and proceeds from stock option exercises and retention of earnings, which are partially offset by stock repurchases of vested restricted shares tendered in lieu of cash for payment of income tax withholding amounts by participants, stock purchases pursuant to the new stock repurchase program (described below), other comprehensive loss, and cash dividends paid.
On October 24, 2022, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.47 per common share, payable on November 18, 2022, to common stockholders of record as of November 8, 2022. The dividend equates to a 4.7% annual yield based on the $40.28 average closing pricing of the Company’s common stock during the third quarter of 2022.
On May 25, 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program, terminating the program that had been in place since 2019 and had 1,889,158 shares of Class A common stock remaining to be purchased thereunder. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 5.0 million of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Any repurchased shares will be returned to authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock in accordance with Montana law.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did repurchase 3,279,300 shares of our Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $40.59 per share. The shares of common stock repurchased during the period completes the 5.0 million shares authorized to be repurchased. The 5.0 million shares repurchased were purchased at an average per share cost of $39.48.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Based on the changes in interest rates and the composition of the Company’s balance sheet subsequent to December 31, 2021, the following update of the Company’s assessment of market risk as of September 30, 2022 is being provided. These updates and changes should be read in conjunction with the additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, our simulation model predicted net interest income would increase 1.97% on an immediate plus 100 basis point parallel shock over the following twelve months, assuming a static balance sheet, which was lower than the previous increase of 7.68% as of December 31, 2021. Assuming a 2.0% gradual increase in interest rates during each of the next four consecutive quarters, net interest income would increase 2.43%, which was lower than the previous increase of 7.07% at December 31, 2021.
Item 4.
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 September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022 were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.
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.
