NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Happy Bancshares, Inc. (Bancshares, or the Company) provides through its subsidiary, Happy State Bank, a Texas state banking corporation (the Bank), loans, trust, and banking services to consumers and commercial customers throughout the Texas Panhandle, Hill Country and South Plains, and in Dallas, Fort Worth and Abilene, Texas. The Company also provides various trust services to consumer and commercial customers throughout the United States.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform in all material respects with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practices of the banking industry. Policies and practices which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements, but do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancshares and all other entities in which Bancshares has a controlling financial interest, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, collectively referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of 1908 Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank (1908 Properties).

The primary assets of 1908 Properties are commercial properties in Amarillo, Bedford and a newly acquired building renovation project in Round Rock, Texas. The Bank leases from 1908 Properties certain properties in Amarillo which it uses as its headquarters and from which it also earns sublease income (the Headquarters Property). The Bedford property also earns sublease income. Included on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 is a net balance in “premises and equipment” of $30,758,000 for these properties. An additional balance of $10,108,000 remains in construction in progress related to land intended to be used for parking at the Headquarters property and upgrades to the Bedford property. Costs to complete these projects have not yet been determined. The Bank manages the Headquarters Property and 1908 Properties’ operating activities. A third party manages the Bedford property.

The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker uses consolidated and Bank results to make operating and strategic decisions.

In December 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-12, “Definition of a Public Business Entity.” ASU No. 2013-12 amended the master glossary applied by the FASB as it relates to the definition of a Public Business Entity (PBE) for purposes of application of GAAP. Authoritative clarifications required that the Company re-assess its classification under ASU No. 2013-12. In 2017, the Company determined that it is not a PBE.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of goodwill, as well as assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, and the valuation of other real estate owned.

Additionally, accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end, and the results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s loans and banking activity are with customers located within the following areas in Texas: the Texas Panhandle; the Texas South Plains; the Central Texas Hill Country; the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex; and Abilene. The Company’s trust activities are with customers located throughout the United States. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

The Company carries certain assets with other financial institutions which are subject to credit risk by the amount such assets exceed federal deposit insurance limits. At September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s assets on deposit with these institutions in excess of the federal deposit insurance limits were $101,754,000, $130,001,000, and $121,263,000, respectively. Management monitors the financial stability of these correspondent banks and considers amounts advanced in excess of FDIC insurance limits to present no significant additional risk to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, all of which mature within ninety days. Interest-bearing deposits with other banks are demand accounts and have a term within ninety days.

Securities

Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities to the call date or maturity, whichever is applicable. Gain or loss on the sale of securities is recorded on the trade date and is determined using the specific identification method and are included in non-interest income. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Securities (continued)

 

Declines in the fair value of securities available for sale below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining whether other-than temporary impairment exists, management considers many factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are carried at cost minus impairment plus or minus changes in observable price changes for the identical or similar instruments. Any changes to the cost basis of these investments are recorded in the income statement. These investments are reviewed periodically to determine if an impairment charge is necessary.

Loans Held for Sale and Mortgage-Related Derivatives

As part of its standard mortgage lending practice, the Company agrees to lock in the interest rate on mortgage originations. The Company also routinely commits to sell new mortgage originations into the secondary market. These interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and forward sales commitments (FSCs) are both deemed to be derivatives under GAAP. The fair values of both derivatives are based primarily on fluctuations in interest rates subsequent to the respective commitment dates. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s IRLC and FSC derivative assets and corresponding derivative liabilities were not material.

Once an IRLC is converted into a loan that was originated and intended for sale in the secondary market, it is classified as held for sale and carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. There were no unrealized losses recognized as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020.

Included in loans held for sale as of September 30, 2021 is a portfolio of approximately $9,975,000 of mortgage loans that management is marketing for sale and has, accordingly, transferred from gross loans held for investment. These loans are carried at their aggregate cost, which is below the estimated fair value as of the balance sheet date. Management did not market any mortgage loans as for sale as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans originated for sale are included in “real estate mortgage fees” in the consolidated statements of income.

Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout the Company’s service area. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is largely dependent upon the general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of any unearned income, charge-offs, and unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income over the lives of the related loans using a level yield methodology without (except for residential mortgage loans not held for sale) anticipating prepayments. Interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Acquired Loans

The Company evaluates all acquired loans for evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination and evaluates whether it is probable that the Company will collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. Acquired loans from the transactions accounted for as a business combination include both loans with evidence of credit deterioration and performing loans. For performing loans, the related difference in the initial fair value and unpaid principal balance (the discount) is recognized as interest income on a level yield basis over the life of the loan.

The allowance for loan loss methodology for acquired performing loans includes estimating the change in risk on the loans from purchase date compared to the remaining unearned net discount value. If there is deterioration in the pool of loans, an allowance is recorded through provision expense.

For purchase credit impaired (PCI) loans, the Company recognizes the difference between the undiscounted cash flows the Company expects at the time of acquisition to be collected and the investment in the loan, or the accretable yield, as interest income using the interest method over the life of the loan. The Company does not recognize contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the nonaccretable difference, as a yield adjustment, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Increases in the expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over the loan’s remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment. Credit deterioration on these loans incurred subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized in the allowance for loan losses through the provision.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable incurred loan losses and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Estimated loan losses represent the probable amount of loans that the Company will be unable to collect given circumstances as of the date of the balance sheet. Actual loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management estimates the allowance balance based on various factors including the following: past loan loss experience; the nature and composition of the loan portfolio; information about specific borrower situations and underlying collateral values; economic conditions; and other factors. Management is responsible for determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, subject to review by the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and for determining its adequacy relative to the estimated losses in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans are reviewed in accordance with applicable accounting guidance on impaired loans. If necessary, a specific allowance is established for these loans. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and partially charged-off loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

 

basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reason for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impairment for nonperforming loans is measured on a loan by loan basis for loans generally over $250,000. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impairment is computed as the excess of the carrying value of the loan over either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, and a portion of the allowance is specifically allocated to such impairments.

In addition to the specific allocations related to impaired loans, the allowance includes a general component for homogenous pools of non-impaired loans. This general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio sector (Commercial; Real Estate - Other; Real Estate - 1-4 Family; Agriculture; and Consumer) and is based on the actual history of losses, net of recoveries, experienced by the Company over the most recent three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with relevant qualitative factors for each portfolio sector, including the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies, criticized loans and impaired loans (both TDRs and nonaccrual loans); levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in loan volume and concentrations (especially in the real estate sector); national and local economic trends and conditions (including, for agriculture loans, trends in commodity prices and precipitation levels; and trends in oil and gas prices for energy loans in the commercial sector); changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; and loss development periods. This qualitative factor evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

Though portions of the allowance relate to specific allocations for impaired loans, the entire allowance is available for any loan which should, in management’s judgment, be charged off as a loss.

The allowance does not include amounts related to accrued interest receivable as accrued interest receivable is reversed when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

The various analyses involved in management’s estimate of the allowance are related to and performed in concert with management’s periodic and systematic detailed reviews of the lending portfolios to identify credit risks and assess the overall collectability of those portfolios. Management utilizes a loan review process involving internal and external personnel to determine the credit risk exposure of significant specific loans and of the overall loan portfolio. This process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A TDR is a loan on which the Company, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a significant concession that the Company would not otherwise normally consider. Such a concession takes the form of a modification or restructuring of the loan’s terms which could include a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites. A TDR would generally be considered impaired in the year of modification and will be assessed periodically for continued impairment.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Troubled Debt Restructurings (continued)

 

Loans whose contractual terms have been modified in a TDR and are current at the time of the restructuring remain on accrual status if there is demonstrated performance prior to the restructuring and repayment in full under the restructured terms is expected. Otherwise, the loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as nonperforming until there is sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. TDRs that are on accrual status are reported as performing TDRs through the end of the calendar year in which the restructuring occurred or the year in which the loans are returned to accrual status. In addition, if accruing TDRs bear less than a market rate of interest at the time of modification, they are reported as performing TDRs throughout the remaining lives of the loans.

Nonperforming Loans, Charge-Offs and Delinquencies

Nonperforming loans generally include loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status (including nonaccrual TDRs). Loans within all portfolio sectors are generally placed on nonaccrual status and classified as nonperforming at 90 days past due, or when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collections on nonaccruing loans for which the ultimate collectability of principal is uncertain are applied as principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to interest income when received (or to other income for interest related to prior fiscal years). These loans may be restored to accrual status when all principal and interest is current and full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest is expected, or when the loan otherwise becomes well-secured and is in the process of collection.

The entire balance of a loan is contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the specified due date on the customer’s billing statement. Interest and fees continue to accrue on past due loans until the date the loan goes into nonaccrual status, if applicable.

The outstanding loan balance of a nonperforming loan that is in excess of the estimated collateral value is generally charged off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomes 90 days past due.

For loans in the Real Estate sector, the estimated collateral value is determined utilizing appraisals or broker price opinions of the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. For loans in the Commercial, Agriculture and Consumer sectors, the fair value of the collateral is estimated by management based on current financial information, inspections, and appraisals.

Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure. Write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed assets are subsequently carried at the lower of their new cost basis or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Costs of significant improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the foreclosed assets are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and if fair value changes materially subsequent to acquisition, the adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill results from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is determined to have an indefinite life and is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate an impairment test should be performed.

A qualitative assessment may be performed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If, based on the evaluation, it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value or if the qualitative assessment is bypassed, a quantitative impairment test will be performed to determine if goodwill is in fact impaired and then written down at that time. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements.

Other identifiable intangible assets recorded by the Company relate to naming rights, customer lists and core deposits. Intangible assets with lives which may be reasonably estimated are amortized over those lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying values, while considering their materiality.

Equity Securities

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are included in “equity investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are stated at fair value with holding gains and losses reported in income as a component of noninterest income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded based on cost (less impairment, if any), equity or proportional amortization methods, depending on the investment’s structure.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees and directors is based on the fair value of such awards and is generally recognized over the required service period, which is usually defined as the vesting period. Stock options and restricted stock qualify as equity-classified awards, under which the fair value of each grant is determined at the grant date, and that grant-date value is the amount recognized as expense over the service period. Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are accounted for under the liability method: the fair value of each vested SAR outstanding is estimated as of each balance sheet date, and the change in that liability from period to period is the amount recognized as expense. Fair value for stock options (at date of grant) and for SARs (at each balance sheet date) is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value for restricted stock is based on valuations of the Company’s stock.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense consists of current and deferred components. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rate and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income Taxes (continued)

 

Deferred tax assets related to uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that a tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more likely than not” recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. This determination considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 was also amended by ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 which, among other changes, allow an optional transition method whereby an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

   

A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

 

   

A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2016-02 as amended; however, the impact is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Effective with the issuance of ASU No. 2020-05, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and Leases (Topic 842),” the effective date of this guidance for the Company is January 1, 2022.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” Among other things, this ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company will then use forward-looking information to better determine credit loss estimates. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, primarily related to impairment measurement, and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on the financial statements. The impact is expected to be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations; however, the Company has yet to determine the extent of the impact. The Company is currently

determining the data required and is in the early stage of implementing a third-party vendor system to enable the Company to comply with the new standard and to estimate the update’s impact on the financial statements prior to its adoption. It is anticipated that the Company will be able to make an estimate of the impact this update will have during 2021. In April 2019, ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” was issued to address certain codification improvements and to provide certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest as well as disclosure related to credit losses, among other things. In May 2019, ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” was issued to provide transition relief in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-03 whereby entities would have the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. Effective with the issuance of ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” the effective date of this guidance for the Company is January 1, 2023.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendment requires disclosures and modifications primarily related to Level 3 fair value measurements and measurement uncertainty. In addition, several disclosures are removed as follows:

 

   

The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;

 

   

The policy for timing of transfers between levels;

 

   

The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements; and

 

   

For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.

This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-013-13, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting Alternative for Evaluating Triggering Events.” The amendment provides an accounting alternative that allows private companies and not-for-profit organizations to perform a goodwill triggering event assessment, and any resulting test for goodwill impairment, as of the end of the reporting period, whether the reporting period is an interim or annual period. It eliminates the requirement for companies and organizations that elect this alternative to perform this assessment during the reporting period, limiting it to the reporting date only. The scope of the alternative is limited to goodwill that is tested for impairment in accordance with Subtopic 350-20, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Goodwill.

This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 9, 2021, which is the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares, including restricted shares, outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to exercisable stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds from the options assumed to be exercised are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Computation of earnings per share (EPS) was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Unrealized losses are generally due to changes in interest rates. The Company intends to hold these securities until maturity or until value recovers, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell these securities before the recovery of their cost basis. Consequently, the unrealized losses detailed in the table above are deemed to be temporary, and no impairment losses have been realized in the consolidated income statements.

Risk Characteristics

Risk characteristics applicable to each sector of the loan portfolio include the following:

Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations. Energy loans are included in this sector.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

Risk Characteristics (continued)

 

The commercial portfolio also includes loans to customers for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) created by Congress in the CARES Act during 2020 to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $112,469,000 of PPP loans outstanding, net of $6,556,000 of net unearned deferred fees. Loans that meet the criteria set by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the CARES Act will be forgiven. As of September 30, 2021, there was minimal credit risk related to the PPP loans based on SBA guarantees. The remaining unforgiven loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA.

Real Estate - Other: Primary categories in this real estate sector of the loan portfolio are commercial real estate, construction, ranch, farm land and land development.

Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on cash flow generated from lease income of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market area.

Construction and land development real estate loans are usually based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project and include independent appraisal reviews and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment of these loans may include permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are considered to be higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market area.

Real Estate - 1-4 Family: The residential real estate loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the borrower’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Agriculture: Agricultural loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans. These agricultural loans are based primarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most agricultural loans are secured by the agriculture-related assets being financed, such as cattle or equipment, and include personal guarantees.

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company’s market areas and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

COVID-19 Risks

The Texas economy, specifically in the Company’s lending areas, started to show improvement by mid-2020 following unprecedented declines caused by the pandemic. During the fourth quarter of 2020, COVID-19

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

COVID-19 Risks (continued)

 

infections increased in Texas which disrupted the budding economic recovery. During the first nine months of 2021, the COVID-19 vaccination roll-out ramped up, which helped the Texas economy to improve from the fourth quarter of 2020. The pandemic crisis has been impactful and the timing and magnitude of recovery cannot be predicted. The risk of loss associated with all segments of the portfolio could increase due to these factors.

Asset Quality

The Company monitors credit quality within its loan portfolio based on primary credit quality indicators on an ongoing basis. All of the Company’s loans are evaluated, either individually or as part of groups of homogenous smaller loans, and identified either as pass or as criticized.

The classification of loans reflects a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loans. Ratings are adjusted to reflect management’s assessment of the degree of risk and loss inherent in each credit.

The methodology is structured so that specific allocations in the allowance for loan losses are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk of loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk of loss).

Pass rated refers to loans that are not considered criticized.

Criticized loans pose an elevated risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. These loans are further subdivided into risk ratings of special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.

Loans rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in credit worthiness; however, such concerns are not so pronounced that the Company generally expects to experience significant loss within the short term. Such loans typically maintain the ability to perform within standard credit terms.

Loans rated substandard are those for which the normal repayment of principal and interest may be, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or for which important weaknesses exist in collateral. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, to reduce exposure, and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such loans and a serious evaluation of the secondary support is performed.

Loans rated doubtful are those for which full collection of principal appears highly questionable, and for which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may not yet be certain, or for which other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss. Loans rated doubtful are generally also placed on nonaccrual.

Loans rated loss are those that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off as a basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a loan in process of foreclosure which was included in the real estate – other sector. This loan was impaired and classified as nonaccrual carrying a specific allocation included in the allowance of $202,000. The foreclosure was completed shortly after year end and the amount of $1,727,000 was recorded to other real estate owned. Upon movement to other real estate owned, a charge against the allowance of $202,000 was recognized on this property.

PCI loans may remain on accrual status to the extent the company can reasonably estimate the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. Nonaccrual PCI loans were $2,390,000, $3,318,000 and $3,912,000 at September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These loans are returning a market rate of return given the accretable yield.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans (generally those on nonaccrual) and loans modified in troubled debt restructurings when concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

Asset Quality (continued)

 

The impact of the recognition of the troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses and resulted in no charge-offs during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has no material commitments to lend additional funds to these debtors.

There were no loans modified under troubled debt restructurings in default during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, banks may elect relief from certain accounting requirements relating to loan restructurings if the loan modification is COVID-related, is not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and if modification occurs during the national emergency. The Company’s TDR loans noted above do not include loans that are modifications to borrowers impacted by COVID. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $51,406,000 impaired due to COVID ($50,757,000 that meet the criteria for Section 4013 TDRs under the CARES Act, $649,000 included in PCI loans).

NOTE 5 - EQUITY INVESTMENTS

The Company invests in various entities including partnerships and limited liability companies. Certain investments relate to business arrangements with key counterparties (including the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank and a key correspondent bank). Others provide income opportunities, Community Reinvestment Act benefits, or both. Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, but active markets do not exist for the remaining investments. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded based on cost (less impairment, if any), equity or proportional amortization methods, depending on the investment’s structure. Losses due to impairment are recorded when it is determined that the investment no longer has the ability to recover its carrying value. During the nine-month periods ending, September 30, 2021 and 2020 and twelve months ending December 31, 2020, no impairment charges were recorded.

The following table presents the carrying value for these investments at September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

 

    September 30, 2021     September 30, 2020     December 31, 2020     Accounting Method

Total equity investments

  $ 30,242     $ 28,451     $ 28,696    
 

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

Income from these investments is included in “interest income” on the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized holdings gains related to the marketable equity securities are included in “other interest income” on the consolidated statements of income.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded based on cost (less impairment, if any), equity or proportional amortization methods, depending on the investment’s structure.

Under the cost method of accounting for investments, the net accumulated earnings of an investee subsequent to the date of investment are recognized by the Company only to the extent distributed by the investee as dividends. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment.

Under the equity method, the Company records the initial investment at cost, and then that value is periodically adjusted to reflect the changes in value due to the Company’s share in the investee’s income or losses. The Company periodically analyzes investments for impairment.

NOTE 5 - EQUITY INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits allocated to the Company.

Income from affordable housing projects is included as an adjustment to income tax expense and includes amortization of the Company’s investment, tax benefit of loss deductions and tax credits.

The Bank purchased $10,000,000 of preferred units during 2017 in a single CDFI. This CDFI’s primary purpose is to provide home loans to low and moderate income borrowers in one of the Bank’s Community Reinvestment Act assessment areas.

The Company is a member bank of the Federal Home Loan Bank and is required to purchase stock based on a percentage of its borrowings. During 2020, the Company purchased stock, as required with increased borrowings, to support loans made as part of the Paycheck Protection Program and also increased its stock by $2,500,000 with FHLB stock acquired as part of the Centennial transaction (see Note 13, Acquisitions). Stock is restricted and can only be sold back to the company when owned in excess of required amounts. Due to excess liquidity, the Company decided to pay back the majority of borrowed funds and excess stock in the bank was redeemed near the end of the year. The company received stock dividends of $19,800 and $185,000, during the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Each advance bears a fixed rate of interest and includes prepayment penalties.

The Bank has pledged FHLB stock and certain mortgage loans free of pledges, liens and encumbrances as collateral for advances. Loans with carrying values of approximately $2,402,243,000, $1,923,684,000 and $2,450,077,000 were pledged as collateral for outstanding advances at September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings & Lines of Credit

The Bank periodically borrows funds on a short-term basis. Such borrowings may include FHLB advances (with maturities less than a year), Federal Funds purchased, or securities sold under repurchase agreements. Other than FHLB advances with maturities less than a year, there were no short-term borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2021 or 2020, or December 31, 2020.

On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into a $40,000,000 line of credit with a correspondent bank. The line matured April 19, 2021, at which time the Company renewed and increased the line of credit by $20,000,000. The line matures April 19, 2028. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate (currently 3.25%). Advances during 2020 were repaid in full with no balance outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020. Interest expense for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2021 and 2020, was $0 and $235,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2021, the Bank has two unsecured lines of credit totaling $50,000,000 for the purchase of Federal Funds from correspondent banks. The lines are in the amount of $25,000,000 each and do not have expiration dates. A third unsecured line in the amount of $50,000,000 expired on June 20, 2021 and was renewed in the amount of $75,000,000. The rate of interest for an advance on both lines of credit is set at the time of such advance and is based on the market rates prevailing at that time. There were no advances outstanding on any of the lines of credit as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

On December 31, 2003, the Company completed the private placement of $10,310,000 in subordinated debentures to Happy Capital Trust I (the Trust). The Trust funded the purchase of the subordinated debentures through the sale of trust preferred securities with a liquidation value of $10,310,000. Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders on April 7, 2004. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities is 3-Month LIBOR plus 2.85% (2.98% and 3.13% at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 3.09% at December 31, 2020). Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years. The preferred securities mature in December 2034 unless the Company elects and obtains regulatory approval to accelerate the maturity date.

In the Signature Bank merger, the Company assumed the $2,165,000 in floating rate Preferred Capital Securities originally issued in February 2004 through Signature Capital Trust, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As guarantor, the Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the preferred capital securities, the redemption price when a capital security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated. The Preferred Capital Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 4% (4.14% and 4.26% at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 4.21% at December 31, 2020). The Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part upon repayments of the debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2034 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.

In the Centennial Bank merger (see Note 13, Acquisitions), the Company assumed the $6,083,000 in floating rate Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities originally issued in September 2006 through HaleCo, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As guarantor, the Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the preferred capital securities, the redemption price when a capital security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated. The Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.7% (1.82%, 1.95%, and 1.92% at September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively). The Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part upon repayments of the debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2036 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.

In the Centennial Bank merger (see Note 13, Acquisitions), the Company assumed the $4,640,000 in floating rate the Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities originally issued in September 2007 through LubCo, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As guarantor, the Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the preferred capital securities, the redemption price when a capital security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated. The Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.2% (2.32%, 2.45% and 2.42% at September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020). The Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part upon repayments of the debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2037 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the

Subordinated Debentures (continued)

 

Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.

Subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities may be included in regulatory Tier 1 capital subject to a limitation that such amounts not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital. The remainder of this and other subordinated debt is included in Tier 2 capital. There is no limitation for inclusion of subordinated debt in total risk-based capital and, as such, all subordinated debt was included in total risk-based capital.

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, interest expense on the subordinated debentures was $186,000 and $187,000, respectively (including premium amortization of $29,000 and $20,000 for September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively). For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, interest expense on the subordinated debentures was $562,000 and $475,000, respectively (including premium amortization of $87,000 and $20,000 for June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively).

Included in “subordinated debentures” on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020 is a reduction of $1,752,000, $1,868,000, and $1,839,000 respectively, to reflect the estimated fair value of these liabilities assumed in the Centennial acquisition (see Note 13, Acquisitions).

Subordinated Notes

In July 2020, the Company completed the private placement of $140,000,000 in subordinated notes. The notes have a maturity date of July 31, 2030 and carry a fixed rate of 5.500% for the first five years. Thereafter, the notes bear interest at 3-month Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) plus 5.435% resetting quarterly. Interest payments are due semiannually in January and July. The notes include a right of prepayment without penalty on or after July 31, 2025. The principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest are due at the maturity date.

In August 2020, the Company paid all outstanding balances associated with the July 2015 issuance of $65,000,000 in private placement subordinated notes. The notes had a maturity date of August 1, 2025 and carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.875% for the first five years. Thereafter, the notes would bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 4.12%, resetting quarterly. Interest payments were due semiannually in February and August. The notes included a right of prepayment without penalty on or after August 1, 2020. The principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest were paid at the August 2020 prepayment date.

In January 2021, the Company also paid the remaining principal and all accrued but unpaid interest of an additional $7,500,000 private placement subordinated note issued on September 30, 2015. The note had a maturity date of October 1, 2025 and carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.875% until maturity. Interest payments were due quarterly. The note included a right of prepayment without penalty on or after October 1, 2020.

These subordinated notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. Interest expense on the subordinated notes was $6,045,000 and $4,229,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively (including amortization of issuance costs of $354,000 and $344,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively). Issuance costs for the initial $65,000,000 issuance totaled $1,181,000 and were fully amortized upon prepayment in August 2020. Issuance costs for the most recent placement of $140,000,000 totaled $2,328,000 and will be amortized over the period

NOTE 8 - CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company (as a bank holding company and on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting rules. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. Furthermore, the Company’s and Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier 1 and CET1 capital (each as defined in the regulations) relative to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). The following tables present actual and required capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, including the Basel III capital conservation buffer. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules. Management believes, as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2021, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based, CET1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Capital Activity

During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021, no private placement offerings had taken place. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2020, the Company issued common stock through three separate private placement offerings; approximately $71,239,000 of common stock was issued through a private placement offering during September 2020, approximately $36,481,000 of common stock was issued through the merger with Centennial Bancshares in July 2020 and approximately $2,904,000 of common stock was issued through a separate private placement offering in February 2020. There were no material issuance costs associated with any of these offerings.

In July 2020, the Company completed the private placement of $140,000,000 in subordinated notes. The notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes (see Note 7, Borrowings). In August 2020, the Company paid all outstanding balances associated with the July 2015 issuance of $65,000,000 in private placement subordinated notes. In January 2021, the Company paid the outstanding balance associated with the September 2015 issuance of a $7,500,000 private placement subordinated note.

Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company. Specifically, approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the Bank’s capital to fall below specified levels, or if dividends declared exceed the Bank’s retained earnings. These limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company could limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders. During the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Bank paid dividends of $0 and $2,130,000, respectively, to the Company; these were eliminated in consolidation. The dividend was used by the Company to pay interest on Subordinated Notes. Regulatory approval was not required for the dividend.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the audited consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the approximate amounts of these financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

 

     September 30,      December 31,  
     2021      2020      2020  

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 1,306,124      $ 1,110,199      $ 1,236,498  

Standby letters of credit

     61,013        13,771        20,181  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 
   $ 1,367,137      $ 1,123,970      $ 1,256,679  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

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

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

The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements; nor does it have any transactions, other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements, with unconsolidated, special purpose entities where those transactions would expose the Company to liability.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which contains Code Section 401(k) provisions. Employees are generally eligible to participate on January 1st, July 1st, or other dates that may be selected by the Company following their initial date of service, provided that the employee has attained the age of 18 and is employed in a position requiring at least 1,000 hours of service for the plan year. The Company may make matching contributions, discretionary basic contributions, or discretionary additional contributions. The Company contribution is based on the employee’s annual compensation.

Employer matching contributions are included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and were $2,800,000 and $2,315,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The ESOP had no unearned shares or shares committed to be released at September 30, 2021 and 2020 or at December 31, 2020. The ESOP owned 1,479,510 and 1,506,685 and 1,511,316 shares at September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and these shares are included in the total of shares outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share for the Company. The ESOP did not purchase any shares during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021. The ESOP purchased 10,580 shares, approximately $508,000, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

The Company has an obligation to repurchase shares from ESOP participants for distributions from the ESOP. The market value for the shares for this purpose is $53.50 per share and is based on a December 31, 2020 valuation by an independent external firm. The market value utilized as of September 30, 2020 was $48.25 per share based on the December 31, 2019 valuation.

Deferred Compensation Agreements

The Company established non-qualified deferred compensation agreements covering certain employees and directors.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options

The Company has entered into various stock option agreements that grant options to its directors, officers, and employees for up to 8,820,550 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options have been granted under the plans. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Vesting periods are generally five years from the date of grant with options expiring in ten years. The Company issues new shares for options when they are exercised.

Expense for the stock options is computed using the equity-classified awards method, under which the fair value of each option grant is calculated utilizing a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and that value is recognized as expense (and as an equal increase in “additional paid-in capital” on the consolidated balance sheets) over the vesting period. Expense related to stock options is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and was $643,000 and $409,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Expense related to stock options for directors is included in “legal and professional fees” in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and was $132,000 and $60,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The combined stock option expense was $775,000 and $469,000, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the associated income tax benefit was $163,000 and $98,000, respectively, for the same periods. There were no modifications of the terms of any options during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding options was $557,000. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.18 years.

There were no options granted during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The total intrinsic value of outstanding options and outstanding exercisable options (all of which were in the money) was $4,367,000 and $3,681,000, respectively, at September 30, 2021. The total intrinsic value of outstanding options and outstanding exercisable options (all of which were in the money) was $3,703,000 and $3,471,000, respectively, at September 30, 2020. The total intrinsic value of outstanding options and outstanding exercisable options (all of which were in the money) was $6,138,000 and $5,478,000, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

The total intrinsic value of exercised options during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1,896,000 and $4,153,000, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $808,000 and $2,100,000, respectively. The actual tax benefit for the tax deductions related to stock option exercises totaled $170,000 and $441,000 for the same periods. Cash used to repurchase shares issued for option exercises during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $2,174,000 and $5,508,000, respectively.

The information above regarding cash received from option exercises and cash used to repurchase shares issued for option exercises is on a gross basis. In practice, many option exercise transactions combine both an exercise component and a repurchase component, for either some or all of the options exercised; in these instances, the cash effect is experienced and recognized on a net basis.

Restricted Stock and Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company has entered into various restricted stock and stock appreciation rights (SAR) award agreements that grant restricted stock or SARs to its directors and employees. Under the terms of the plans, the Company may award up to 1,500,000 units to the plan participants, either in the form of shares of restricted stock or as SARs.

Restricted Stock

All shares of restricted stock issued under the plans are subject to a restriction period whereby the shares cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered based on each individual’s agreement. This restriction period may be adjusted at any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Any participant that terminates employment or ceases services for the Bank prior to the end of the restriction period will forfeit all restricted shares subject to the plans. These shares generally have a term of up to ten years, with vesting ranging from immediate to ten years. These shares generally have conditions related to the individual’s longevity, performance, or both, and such conditions may be revised as, for example, an individual’s job duties change. Upon vesting, restrictions lift and the shares cease to be counted as restricted stock. Consequently, all of the restricted shares outstanding are also non-vested. Restricted shares are included in the total of shares outstanding on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and for purposes of computing earnings per share.

Compensation expense for restricted stock is computed using the equity-classified awards method, under which the fair value of each restricted share is based on the share value computed for the ESOP ($53.50 per share as of the December 31, 2020 valuation), and that value is recognized as compensation expense (and as an equal increase in “additional paid-in capital” on the consolidated balance sheets) over the period of each grant. Expense related to restricted stock is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and was $322,000 and $356,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with that expense was $68,000 and $75,000, respectively, for the same periods. As of September 30, 2021, the unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding restricted stock options was $518,000. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.45 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

SARs are settled in cash, expire in four to ten years, and are generally subject to vesting in three to five years. Expense related to SARs is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the unaudited consolidated statements of income and was $3,059,000 and $2,663,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with that expense was $642,000 and $559,000, respectively, for the same periods. Compensation expense for SARs is computed using the liability method and is recognized over the vesting period based on the fair value at each balance sheet date based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The SAR liability of $14,147,000, $13,384,000, and $13,799,000 as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of each SAR is estimated at each balance sheet date based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model:

 

     September 30, 2021     September 30, 2020     December 31, 2020  

Dividend yield

     0     0     0

Expected life

     1.5 years       1.5 years       1.5 years  

Expected volatility

     21.8     21.8     21.8

Risk-free interest rate

     0.2     0.1     0.1

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility in the value of the Company’s shares as well as an analysis of stock volatility of selected peers performed by a third party. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet dates.

NOTE 12 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2 Inputs - 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 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions regarding what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Impaired loans are reported at fair value based on the discounted present value of expected cash flows (Level 3 inputs), or on the value of underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs: independent appraisals; and subjective adjustments (generally 10-30%) applied by management to reflect estimated selling costs and other expected discounts to appraised values.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $8,451,000 were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $1,906,000 to a total reported fair value of $6,546,000 based on values determined utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $8,549,000 were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $3,314,000 to a total reported fair value of $5,235,000 based on values determined utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

During the twelve months ending December 31, 2020, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $11,013,000 were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $3,586,000 to a total reported fair value of $7,427,000 based on values determined utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

Other real estate owned is valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to other real estate owned. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Appraisals based upon comparable sales result in a Level 2 classification while appraisals based upon expected cash flows of the property result in a Level 3 classification.

First National Bank of Tahoka

On June 4, 2021, the Company acquired First National Bank of Tahoka, a privately-held bank headquartered in Tahoka, Texas. As a result of this acquisition, the Bank added one branch in the Texas South Plains town of Tahoka. The total cash purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on management’s best estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands):

The net cash and cash equivalents received as a result of the transaction was $34,741,000: $41,924,000 in teller cash and due from banks included with the assets acquired, less $7,183,000 of cash consideration paid.

The estimated fair value of non-credit impaired loans was not materially different from the contractual balance of $5,640,000. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects an insignificant amount of the contractual balance of these loans to be uncollectible. Purchased credit impaired loans (PCI loans) had an estimated fair value of $470,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $717,000. The difference of $247,000 remains on the balance sheet as a credit mark unless the loans experience changes in fair value or collectability. The remaining variance of $6,000 relates to loans in process and overdrafts as of the acquisition date.

The Company recorded goodwill of $1,179,000 in this acquisition; this goodwill relates to the combination of expected synergy and desirable branch location within the Company’s Texas South Plains market. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the estimated fair value of the consideration exchanged compared to the net of (a) the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired, and (b) the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed. The core deposit intangible of $230,000 represents the estimated value of the core deposits of the acquired branches based on their costs relative to the higher costs of alternative funding sources. None of the goodwill that was recognized in this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company also issued 756,079 shares of Bancshares stock, with an estimated fair value of $36,481,000 as of closing (based on the valuation of $48.25 per share by an independent external firm as of December 31, 2019).

Non-credit impaired loans had an estimated fair value of $600,228,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $610,371,000. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects an insignificant amount of the contractual balance of these loans to be uncollectible.

Purchased credit impaired loans (PCI loans) had an estimated fair value of $10,756,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $15,589,000. An amount of $182,000 will be recognized into interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans. The difference of $4,651,000 remains on the balance sheet as a credit mark unless the loans experience changes in fair value or collectability. The remaining variance of $276,000 relates to loans in process and overdrafts as of the acquisition date.

The Company recorded goodwill of $75,635,000 in this acquisition; this goodwill relates to the combination of expected synergies and desirable branch locations within the Company’s Texas Panhandle market and new Central Texas Hill Country market.

Centennial Bank (continued)

 

Under the terms of the purchase agreement related to the Centennial merger, the Company deposited $1,500,000 of the total consideration paid into escrow as security for potential losses and expenses related to the acquired substandard, doubtful, loss, or other real-estate owned loans as of December 31, 2019. The escrow amount will be held and monitored by the Company for three years, commencing with the merger date. The Company will be reimbursed 50% of loan losses from the escrow amount during the escrow period as losses and expenses related to acquired loans are incurred. The Company fully expects to recover the entire amount placed into escrow. The escrow amount is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020.

In addition, a separate escrow amount of $1,053,000 was established and funded by the seller to indemnify the Company for contract termination fees and deconversion costs incurred following closing. The escrow amount was held by the Company for a period of one year from the date of acquisition and the balance was released to the Company based on final transaction costs at the conclusion of the escrow period. The Company recorded an indemnification asset as contract termination and deconversion costs were incurred, totaling the amount in escrow. The effect of the recognition of the indemnification asset was an offset during 2020 of $1,053,000 to the expenses incurred related to the contract termination and deconversion costs. The indemnification asset was derecognized when the Company received the cash due from the escrow in 2021.

Happy Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary

Amarillo, Texas

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Happy Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 5, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. Federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance for Loan Losses

As more fully described in Notes 1 and 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the allowance for loan losses represents losses that are estimated to have been incurred as of the balance sheet date.

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management determines that an outstanding loan will not be collected. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by Company management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to specific allowances on loans that are classified as impaired. The general component relates to loans that are not classified as impaired and is based on historical charge-off experience. Other adjustments for each segment, such as qualitative or environmental considerations, may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss experience. Management discloses that this evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

We identified the valuation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical audit matter. Auditing the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management’s estimates, such as evaluating management’s assessment of economic conditions and other qualitative or environmental factors, evaluating the adequacy of specific allowances associated with impaired loans and assessing the appropriateness of loan risk ratings.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

 

   

Testing the design and operating effectiveness of controls, including those related to technology, over the allowance for loan losses including data completeness and accuracy, classifications of loans by loan segment, historical loss data, the calculation of loss rates, the establishment of qualitative adjustments, grading and risk classification of loans and establishment of specific reserves on impaired loans and management’s review and disclosure controls over the allowance for loan losses;

 

   

Testing of completeness and accuracy of the information utilized in the allowance for loan losses;

 

   

Testing the allowance for loan losses model’s computational accuracy;

 

   

Evaluating the qualitative and environmental adjustments to historical loss rates, including assessing the basis for the adjustments and the reasonableness, reliability and relevance of the significant assumptions and underlying data;

 

   

Testing the external loan review functions and evaluating the reasonableness of loan risk ratings; and

 

   

Evaluating the reasonableness of specific allowances and estimates on impaired loans through review of collateral values and any associated management adjustments.

 

  66  


Acquisitions

As described in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company consummated the acquisitions of a bank holding company and a bank during the year ended December 31, 2020. As part of the acquisitions consummated during the year, management determined that each of the acquisitions qualified as a business and accordingly all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were valued at fair value as part of the purchase price allocation as of acquisition date. The identification and valuation of such acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires management to exercise significant judgment and consider the use of outside specialists to estimate the fair value allocations.

We identified the consummated acquisitions and the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities as a critical audit matter. Auditing the acquired balance sheets and acquisition related considerations involved a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management’s operational assumptions of the newly acquired divisions, fair value estimates, purchase price allocations and assessing the appropriateness of outside specialists’ valuation models.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

 

   

Testing the design and operating effectiveness of controls that addressed asset and liability identification, review and approval of valuations and underlying assumptions, completeness and accuracy of underlying data, and disclosure controls;

 

   

Obtaining and reviewing executed Plan and Agreement of Merger documents to gain an understanding of the underlying terms of the consummated acquisition;

 

   

Testing management’s purchase accounting allocation support, focusing on the completeness and accuracy of the balance sheet acquired and related fair value purchase price allocations made to identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed;

 

   

Utilizing internal specialists and other specialists to assist with testing the related fair value purchase price allocations made to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and

 

   

Testing and evaluating the adequacy of disclosures made in the footnotes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Committee, Board of Directors

and Shareholders

Happy Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary

Amarillo, Texas

Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Happy Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheets and statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and our report dated March 5, 2021, expressed an unmodified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report Regarding Statement of Management’s Responsibilities, Compliance with Designated Laws and Regulations, and Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. Federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definitions and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because management’s assessment and our audit also were conducted to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included controls over the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with

 

68


accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Happy Bancshares, Inc. (Bancshares, or the Company) provides through its subsidiary, Happy State Bank, a Texas state banking corporation (the Bank), loans, trust, and banking services to consumers and commercial customers throughout the Texas Panhandle, Hill Country and South Plains, and in Dallas, Fort Worth and Abilene, Texas. The Company also provides various trust services to consumer and commercial customers throughout the United States.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform in all material respects with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practices of the banking industry. Policies and practices which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancshares and all other entities in which Bancshares has a controlling financial interest, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, collectively referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The material estimates included in the financial statements relate to the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of goodwill and valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of 1908 Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank (1908 Properties).

The primary assets of 1908 Properties are commercial properties in Amarillo, Bedford and a newly acquired building renovation project in Round Rock, Texas. The Bank leases from 1908 Properties certain properties in Amarillo which it uses as its headquarters and from which it also earns sublease income (the Headquarters Property). The Bedford property also earns sublease income. Included on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is a net balance in “premises and equipment” of $26,592,000 for these properties. An additional balance of $7,965,000 remains in construction in progress related to land intended to be used for parking at the Headquarters property and upgrades to the Bedford property. Costs to complete these projects have not yet been determined. The Bank manages the Headquarters Property and 1908 Properties’ operating activities. A third party manages the Bedford property.

In December 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-12, “Definition of a Public Business Entity.” ASU No. 2013-12 amended the master glossary applied by the FASB as it relates to the definition of a Public Business Entity (PBE) for purposes of application of GAAP. Authoritative clarifications required that the Company re-assess its classification under ASU No. 2013-12. In 2017, the Company determined that it is not a PBE.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s loans and banking activity are with customers located within the following areas in Texas: the Texas Panhandle; the Texas South Plains; the Central Texas Hill Country; the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex; and Abilene. The Company’s trust activities are with customers located throughout the United States. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

The Company carries certain assets with other financial institutions which are subject to credit risk by the amount such assets exceed federal deposit insurance limits. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s assets on deposit with these institutions in excess of the federal deposit insurance limits were $121,263,000 and $119,070,000, respectively. Management monitors the financial stability of these correspondent banks and considers amounts advanced in excess of FDIC insurance limits to present no significant additional risk to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, all of which mature within ninety days. Interest-bearing deposits with other banks are demand accounts and have a term within ninety days.

Securities

Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities, to the call date or maturity, whichever is applicable. Gain or loss on the sale of securities is recorded on the trade date and is determined using the specific identification method and are included in non-interest income. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Declines in the fair value of securities available for sale below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining whether other-than temporary impairment exists, management considers many factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are carried at cost minus impairment plus or minus changes in observable price changes for the identical or similar instruments. Any changes to the cost basis of these investments are recorded in the income statement. These investments are reviewed periodically to determine if an impairment charge is necessary. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded.

Loans Held for Sale and Mortgage-Related Derivatives

As part of its standard mortgage lending practice, the Company agrees to lock in the interest rate on mortgage originations. The Company also routinely commits to sell new mortgage originations into the secondary market. These interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and forward sales commitments (FSCs) are both deemed to be derivatives under GAAP. The fair values of both derivatives are based primarily on fluctuations in interest rates subsequent to the respective commitment dates. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s IRLC and FSC derivative assets and corresponding derivative liabilities were not material. The notional amounts of loan commitments under both the IRLCs and FSCs were $3,880,000 and $5,734,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Once an IRLC is converted into a loan that was originated and intended for sale in the secondary market, it is classified as held for sale and carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no unrealized losses were recognized.

Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans originated for sale are included in “real estate mortgage fees” in the consolidated statements of income.

Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout the Company’s service area. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is largely dependent upon the general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of any unearned income, charge-offs, and unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to interest income over the lives of the related loans using a level yield methodology without (except for residential mortgage loans not held for sale) anticipating prepayments. Interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.

Acquired Loans

The Company evaluates all acquired loans for evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination and evaluates whether it is probable that the Company will collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. Acquired loans from the transactions accounted for as a business combination include both loans with evidence of credit deterioration and performing loans. For performing loans, the related difference in the initial fair value and unpaid principal balance (the discount) is recognized as interest income on a level yield basis over the life of the loan.

The allowance for loan loss methodology for acquired performing loans includes estimating the change in risk on the loans from purchase date compared to the remaining unearned net discount value. If there is deterioration in the pool of loans, an allowance is recorded through provision expense.

For purchase credit impaired (PCI) loans, the Company recognizes the difference between the undiscounted cash flows the Company expects at the time of acquisition to be collected and the investment in the loan, or the accretable yield, as interest income using the interest method over the life of the loan. The Company does not

Acquired Loans (continued)

 

recognize contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the nonaccretable difference, as a yield adjustment, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Increases in the expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over the loan’s remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment. Credit deterioration on these loans incurred subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized in the allowance for loan losses through the provision.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable incurred loan losses and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Estimated loan losses represent the probable amount of loans that the Company will be unable to collect given circumstances as of the date of the balance sheet. Actual loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management estimates the allowance balance based on various factors including the following: past loan loss experience; the nature and composition of the loan portfolio; information about specific borrower situations and underlying collateral values; economic conditions; and other factors. Management is responsible for determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, subject to review by the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and for determining its adequacy relative to the estimated losses in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans are reviewed in accordance with applicable accounting guidance on impaired loans. If necessary, a specific allowance is established for these loans. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and partially charged-off loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reason for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impairment for nonperforming loans is measured on a loan by loan basis for loans generally over $250,000. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impairment is computed as the excess of the carrying value of the loan over either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, and a portion of the allowance is specifically allocated to such impairments.

In addition to the specific allocations related to impaired loans, the allowance includes a general component for homogenous pools of non-impaired loans. This general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio sector (Commercial; Real Estate - Other; Real Estate - 1-4 Family; Agriculture; and Consumer) and is based on the actual history of losses, net of

recoveries, experienced by the Company over the most recent three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with relevant qualitative factors for each portfolio sector, including the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies, criticized loans and impaired loans (both TDRs and nonaccrual loans); levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in loan volume and concentrations (especially in the real estate sector); national and local economic trends and conditions (including, for agriculture loans, trends in commodity prices and precipitation levels; and trends in oil and gas prices for energy loans in the commercial sector); changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; and loss development periods. This qualitative factor evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

Though portions of the allowance relate to specific allocations for impaired loans, the entire allowance is available for any loan which should, in management’s judgment, be charged off as a loss.

The allowance does not include amounts related to accrued interest receivable as accrued interest receivable is reversed when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

The various analyses involved in management’s estimate of the allowance are related to and performed in concert with management’s periodic and systematic detailed reviews of the lending portfolios to identify credit risks and assess the overall collectability of those portfolios. Management utilizes a loan review process involving internal and external personnel to determine the credit risk exposure of significant specific loans and of the overall loan portfolio. This process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A TDR is a loan on which the Company, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession that the Company would not otherwise normally consider. Such a concession takes the form of a modification or restructuring of the loan’s terms which could include a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites. A TDR would generally be considered impaired in the year of modification and will be assessed periodically for continued impairment.

Loans whose contractual terms have been modified in a TDR and are current at the time of the restructuring remain on accrual status if there is demonstrated performance prior to the restructuring and repayment in full under the restructured terms is expected. Otherwise, the loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as nonperforming until there is sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. TDRs that are on accrual status are reported as performing TDRs through the end of the calendar year in which the restructuring occurred or the year in which the loans are returned to accrual status. In addition, if accruing TDRs bear less than a market rate of interest at the time of modification, they are reported as performing TDRs throughout the remaining lives of the loans.

Nonperforming Loans, Charge-Offs and Delinquencies

Nonperforming loans generally include loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status (including nonaccrual TDRs). Loans within all portfolio sectors are generally placed on nonaccrual status and classified as nonperforming at 90 days past due, or when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collections on nonaccruing loans for which the ultimate collectability of principal is uncertain are applied as principal reductions; otherwise, such collections are credited to interest income when received (or to other income for interest related to prior fiscal years). These loans may be restored to accrual status when all principal and interest is current and full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest is expected, or when the loan otherwise becomes well-secured and is in the process of collection.

The entire balance of a loan is contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the specified due date on the customer’s billing statement. Interest and fees continue to accrue on past due loans until the date the loan goes into nonaccrual status, if applicable.

The outstanding loan balance of a nonperforming loan that is in excess of the estimated collateral value is generally charged off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomes 90 days past due.

For loans in the Real Estate sectors, the estimated collateral value is determined utilizing appraisals or broker price opinions of the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. For loans in the Commercial, Agriculture and Consumer sectors, the fair value of the collateral is estimated by management based on current financial information, inspections, and appraisals.

Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter. Computer software programs, including software developed for internal use, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives for each major depreciable classification of premises and equipment are generally as follows:

 

Bank premises

     10-40 years  

Furniture and equipment

     4-7 years  

Software

     3-10 years

Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure. Write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed assets are subsequently carried at the lower of their new cost basis or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Costs of significant improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the foreclosed assets are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and if fair value changes materially subsequent to acquisition, the adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain employees of the Company. Life insurance policies are initially recorded at cost at the date of purchase. Subsequent to purchase, the policies are periodically adjusted for changes in contract value. The adjustment to contract value increases or decreases the carrying value of the policies and is recorded as an income or expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill results from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is determined to have an indefinite life and is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate an impairment test should be performed.

A qualitative assessment may be performed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If, based on the evaluation, it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value or if the qualitative assessment is bypassed, a quantitative impairment test will be performed to determine if goodwill is in fact impaired and then written down at that time. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements.

Other identifiable intangible assets recorded by the Company relate to naming rights, customer lists and core deposits. Intangible assets with lives which may be reasonably estimated are amortized over those lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Such assets are periodically evaluated as to the recoverability of their carrying values, while considering their materiality.

Equity Securities

Beginning January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” equity securities with readily determinable fair values are included in “equity investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are stated at fair value with holding gains and losses reported in income as a component of noninterest income. For periods prior to January 1, 2019, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded based on cost (less impairment, if any), equity or proportional amortization methods, depending on the investment’s structure.

Federal Home Loan Bank

The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is an equity investment carried at cost, which approximates its fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding FHLB advances. The Company may request redemption at par value of any stock in excess of the amount it is required to hold. Stock redemptions are made at the discretion of the FHLB.

Preferred Stock

The Company has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock for various purposes as determined by the Board of Directors, including making future acquisitions, raising additional equity capital and financing.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company – put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership; (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets; and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Compensation expense for stock-based awards to employees and directors is based on the fair value of such awards and is generally recognized over the required service period, which is usually defined as the vesting period. Stock options and restricted stock qualify as equity-classified awards, under which the fair value of each grant is determined at the grant date, and that grant-date value is the amount recognized as expense over the service period. Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are accounted for under the liability method: the fair value of each vested SAR outstanding is estimated as of each balance sheet date, and the change in that liability from period to period is the amount recognized as expense. Fair value for stock options (at date of grant) and for SARs (at each balance sheet date) is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value for restricted stock is based on valuations of the Company’s stock.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and related expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $3,588,000 and $3,288,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense consists of current and deferred components. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax

Income Taxes (continued)

 

effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rate and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods.

Deferred tax assets related to uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that a tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more likely than not” recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. This determination considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized no material interest and penalties. The Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax.

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters not already reflected in the consolidated balance sheets which would have a material effect on the financial statements.

Reclassifications and Revisions

Some items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year consolidated net income or shareholders’ equity.

Contingencies

In March 2020, the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has caused economic and social disruption resulting in unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets, and has placed significant health, economic and other major pressures throughout the communities we serve, the United States and globally. As the current pandemic is ongoing and dynamic in nature, there are many uncertainties related to COVID-19 including,

among other things: its ultimate geographic spread; its severity; the duration of the outbreak; the impact to our customers, employees and vendors; the impact to the financial services and banking industry; and the impact to the economy as a whole as well as the effect of actions taken, or that may yet be taken, or inaction by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to mitigate its impact (both economic and health-related). During Summer 2020, many of the more restrictive government orders eased on a national level and more specifically in the Company’s market of Texas, which has boosted commercial and consumer activity. However, the risk of a resurgence in infections and possible reimplementation of restrictions remains significant. COVID-19 did not negatively impact our business operations during 2020, but loan loss provisions increased due to economic conditions and increasing risks in the loan portfolio, and asset yields were affected by a lower interest rate environment. Business results could be negatively affected in the future with a continuation of the lower interest rate environment.

Beginning January 1, 2019, upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company adopted certain policies related to this ASU. In general, for revenue not associated with financial instruments, guarantees and lease contracts, the Company applies the following steps when recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short term in nature, typically due within one year or less or cancellable by the Company or the customer upon a short notice period. Performance obligations for customer contracts are generally satisfied at a single point in time, typically when the transaction is complete, or over time. For performance obligations satisfied over time, the Company primarily uses the output method, directly measuring the value of the products/services transferred to the customer, to determine when performance obligations have been satisfied. The Company typically receives payment from customers and recognizes revenue concurrent with the satisfaction of performance obligations. In most cases, this occurs within a single financial reporting period. For payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as the performance obligations have been satisfied. In cases where the Company has not received payment despite satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations, the Company accrues an estimate of the amount due in the period the performance obligations have been satisfied. For contracts with variable components, only amounts for which collection is probable are accrued. The Company generally acts in a principal capacity, on its own behalf, in most of its contracts with customers. In such transactions, the Company recognizes revenue and the related costs to provide its services on a gross basis in the financial statements. In some cases, the Company acts in an agent capacity, deriving revenue through assisting other entities in transactions with its customers. In such transactions, the Company recognizes revenue and the related costs to provide its services on a net basis in the financial statements. These transactions recognized on a net basis primarily relate to storage fees with its self-directed IRA precious metal services and fees derived from its customers’ use of various interchange and ATM/debit card networks. The Company elected to use the full retrospective method and has netted the costs noted with the applicable revenue for all periods presented. The costs netted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1,765,000 and $1,722,000, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments require the following:

 

   

Equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

 

   

Separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables).

This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 was also amended by ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 which, among other changes, allow an optional transition method whereby an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

 

   

A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and

 

   

A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company is evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2016-02 as amended; however, the impact is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Effective with the issuance of ASU No. 2020-05, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and Leases (Topic 842),” the effective date of this guidance for the Company is January 1, 2022.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” Among other things, this ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company will then use forward-looking information to better determine credit loss estimates. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, primarily related to impairment measurement, and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on the financial statements. The impact is expected to be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations; however, the Company has yet to determine the extent of the impact. The Company is currently determining the data required and is in the early stage of implementing a third-party vendor system to enable the Company to comply with the new standard and to estimate the update’s impact on the financial statements prior to its adoption. It is anticipated that the Company will be able to make an estimate of the impact this update will have during 2021. In April 2019, ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and

Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” was issued to address certain codification improvements and to provide certain accounting policy elections related to accrued interest as well as disclosure related to credit losses, among other things. In May 2019, ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief,” was issued to provide transition relief in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-03 whereby entities would have the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. Effective with the issuance of ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” the effective date of this guidance for the Company is January 1, 2023.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments.” The update addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 “Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance was effective on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not result in any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow as of adoption. See Note 17, Acquisitions, for activity during 2020 and 2019 that was accounted for under this amendment.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendment requires disclosures and modifications primarily related to Level 3 fair value measurements and measurement uncertainty. In addition, several disclosures are removed as follows:

 

   

The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;

 

   

The policy for timing of transfers between levels;

 

   

The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements; and

 

   

For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.

This guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 5, 2021, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and no subsequent events requiring financial statement recognition or disclosure were noted, except as disclosed in Note 17, Acquisitions.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares, including restricted shares, outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to exercisable stock options and restricted stock and are determined using the treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds from the options assumed to be exercised are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Computation of earnings per share (EPS) was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Beginning January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with holding gains and losses reported in income and are included in “equity investments” on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (see Note 7, Equity Investments). For periods prior to January 1, 2019, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were classified as securities available for sale.

Unrealized losses are generally due to changes in interest rates. The Company intends to hold these securities until maturity or until value recovers, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell these securities before the recovery of their cost basis. Consequently, the unrealized losses detailed in the table above are deemed to be temporary, and no impairment losses have been realized in the consolidated income statements.

Risk Characteristics

Risk characteristics applicable to each sector of the loan portfolio include the following:

Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations. Energy loans are included in this sector.

The commercial portfolio also includes loans to customers for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) created by Congress in the CARES Act during 2020 to help businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $211,705,000 of PPP loans outstanding net of recorded net unearned deferred fees associated with PPP loans of $3,025,000. Loans that meet the criteria set by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the CARES Act will be forgiven. As of December 31, 2020, there was minimal credit risk related to the PPP loans based on SBA guarantees. The remaining unforgiven loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA.

Real Estate - Other: Primary categories in this real estate sector of the loan portfolio are commercial real estate, construction, ranch, farm land and land development.

Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on cash flow generated from lease income of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market area.

Construction and land development real estate loans are usually based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project and include independent appraisal reviews and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment of these loans may include permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are considered to be higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market area.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

Risk Characteristics (continued)

 

Real Estate - 1-4 Family: The residential real estate loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the borrower’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Agriculture: Agricultural loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans. These agricultural loans are based primarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most agricultural loans are secured by the agriculture-related assets being financed, such as cattle or equipment, and include personal guarantees.

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company’s market areas and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

COVID-19 Risks

The Texas economy, specifically in the Company’s lending areas, started to show improvement by mid-2020 following unprecedented declines caused by the pandemic. During the fourth quarter of the year, COVID-19 infections increased in Texas which disrupted the budding economic recovery and is the biggest risk to the near-term outlook. Activity in the manufacturing and financial sectors continued to expand while the service sector activity declined overall. While retail spending stabilized, activity remained below pre-pandemic levels. Outlooks are increasingly uncertain, with concerns over surging COVID-19 cases and the possible disruption to business and overall economic recovery. The pandemic crisis has been impactful and the timing and magnitude of recovery cannot be predicted. The risk of loss associated with all segments of the portfolio could increase due to these factors.

Asset Quality

The Company monitors credit quality within its loan portfolio based on primary credit quality indicators on an ongoing basis. All of the Company’s loans are evaluated, either individually or as part of groups of homogenous smaller loans, and identified either as pass or as criticized.

The classification of loans reflects a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loans. Ratings are adjusted to reflect management’s assessment of the degree of risk and loss inherent in each credit.

The methodology is structured so that specific allocations in the allowance for loan losses are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk of loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk of loss).

Pass rated refers to loans that are not considered criticized.

Criticized loans pose an elevated risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. These loans are further subdivided into risk ratings of special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.

NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

Asset Quality (continued)

 

Loans rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in credit worthiness; however, such concerns are not so pronounced that the Company generally expects to experience significant loss within the short term. Such loans typically maintain the ability to perform within standard credit terms.

Loans rated substandard are those for which the normal repayment of principal and interest may be, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or for which important weaknesses exist in collateral. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, to reduce exposure, and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such loans and a serious evaluation of the secondary support is performed.

Loans rated doubtful are those for which full collection of principal appears highly questionable, and for which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may not yet be certain, or for which other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss. Loans rated doubtful are generally also placed on nonaccrual.

Loans rated loss are those that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off as a basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

As of December 31, 2020, there were no changes to the Company’s loan risk grading system definitions.

In January and July 2020, the Company acquired certain loans which had experienced credit deterioration since origination (see Note 17, Acquisitions). Such loans are considered purchased credit impaired (or PCI) loans under GAAP.

The Company has included PCI loans in the above grading tables. The following provides additional detail on the grades applied to those loans (in thousands):

     Substandard      Doubtful      Loss      Total  

December 31, 2020

   $ 3,285      $ 49      $ 7,197      $ 38      $ —        $ 10,569  

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a loan in process of foreclosure which was included in the real estate – other sector. This loan was impaired and classified as nonaccrual carrying a specific allocation included in the allowance of $202,000. The foreclosure was completed shortly after year end and the amount of $1,727,000 was recorded to other real estate owned. Upon movement to other real estate owned, a charge against the allowance of $202,000 was recognized on this property. There were no loans in process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2019.

PCI loans may remain on accrual status to the extent the company can reasonably estimate the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. At December 31, 2020, nonaccrual PCI loans were $3,912,000. These loans are returning a market rate of return given the accretable yield.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans (generally those on nonaccrual) and loans modified in troubled debt restructurings when concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

The impact of the recognition of the troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $1,394,000 and resulted in no charge-offs during the years ended December 31, 2020. The impact of 2019 troubled debt restructurings did not increase the allowance for loan losses and resulted in no chargeoffs during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has no material commitments to lend additional funds to these debtors.

There were no loans modified under troubled debt restructurings in default during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, there was a real-estate other loan modified under troubled debt restructurings in default. This loan amount is for $278,151, and did not increase the allowance for loan losses.

Depreciation expense for 2020 and 2019 amounted to $8,448,000 and $7,817,000, respectively, and is included in “occupancy and equipment expense, net” on the consolidated statements of income. Software amortization for 2020 and 2019 amounted to $1,663,000 and $1,740,000, respectively, and is included in “data processing” on the consolidated statements of income.

As of December 31, 2020, construction in progress (CIP) includes approximately $969,000 related to land projects intended for parking and potential new branch sites. The remaining balance in CIP relates to building remodeling and upgrades for purchased and existing branches including the Headquarters Property; although the cost to complete individual projects cannot be estimated, management concludes that the total cost for all current projects will not exceed $2 million.

The Bank has several operating leases with tenants, primarily in its Headquarters Property but also in a few branches. These leases expire within the next ten years and generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from one year to five years. Rental income of $3,605,000 and $3,491,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to these operating leases is reflected as a reduction in “occupancy and equipment expense, net” on the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2020, the cost and accumulated depreciation of the properties with operating leases included in the summary above were $77,112,000 and $17,933,000, respectively.

The Company obtained a fertilizer plant in California through foreclosure in 2013 and has accounted for the plant in “other real estate owned” on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is in the process of having the soil contamination at the California plant remediated by a third party. During 2020, this property’s value was remeasured to reflect an updated estimate of fair value based on a new appraisal and revised estimates of costs to sell. The remeasurement resulted in an impairment write-down of $229,000 included in “other expense” on the consolidated income statement for 2020. There was no impairment recognized related to this asset in 2019.

NOTE 7 - EQUITY INVESTMENTS

The Company invests in various entities including partnerships and limited liability companies. Certain investments relate to business arrangements with key counterparties (including the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank and a key correspondent bank). Others provide income opportunities, Community Reinvestment Act benefits, or both. Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, but active markets do not exist for the remaining investments. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded based on cost (less impairment, if any), equity or proportional amortization methods, depending on the investment’s structure. Losses due to impairment are recorded when it is determined that the investment no longer has the ability to recover its carrying value. During 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded.

The following table presents the carrying value for these investments at December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Income from these investments is included in “interest income” on the consolidated statements of income. Unrealized holding gains related to the marketable equity securities are included in “other interest income” on the consolidated statements of income.

Beginning January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with holding gains and losses reported in income.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded based on cost (less impairment, if any), equity or proportional amortization methods, depending on the investment’s structure.

Under the cost method of accounting for investments, the net accumulated earnings of an investee subsequent to the date of investment are recognized by the Company only to the extent distributed by the investee as dividends. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions of cost of the investment.

Under the equity method, the Company records the initial investment at cost, and then that value is periodically adjusted to reflect the changes in value due to the Company’s share in the investee’s income or losses. The Company periodically analyzes investments for impairment.

Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits allocated to the Company.

NOTE 7 - EQUITY INVESTMENTS (continued)

 

Income from affordable housing projects is included as an adjustment to income tax expense and includes amortization of the Company’s investment, tax benefit of loss deductions and tax credits.

The Bank purchased $10,000,000 of preferred units during 2017 in a single CDFI. This CDFI’s primary purpose is to provide home loans to low and moderate income borrowers in one of the Bank’s Community Reinvestment Act assessment areas.

The Company is a member bank of the Federal Home Loan Bank and is required to purchase stock based on a percentage of its borrowings. During 2020, the Company purchased stock, as required with increased borrowings, to support loans made as part of the Paycheck Protection Program and also increased its stock by $2,500,000 with FHLB stock acquired as part of the Centennial transaction (see Note 17, Acquisitions). Stock is restricted and can only be sold back to the company when owned in excess of required amounts. Due to excess liquidity, the Company decided to pay back the majority of borrowed funds and excess stock in the bank was redeemed near the end of the year. The company received stock dividends of $216,700 and $380,000 during 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During 2020, the Company purchased stock while borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and later in the year sold those same shares back to them. The Company also owned stock during 2019 but redeemed all of its outstanding stock that same year with the change in primary regulators to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank has pledged FHLB stock and certain mortgage loans free of pledges, liens and encumbrances as collateral for advances. Loans with carrying values of approximately $2,450,077,000 and $1,717,995,000 were pledged as collateral for outstanding advances at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Short-Term Borrowings & Lines of Credit

The Bank periodically borrows funds on a short-term basis. Such borrowings may include FHLB advances (with maturities less than a year), Federal Funds purchased, or securities sold under repurchase agreements. Other than FHLB advances with maturities less than a year, there were no short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020 or 2019.

On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into a $40 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. The line matures April 19, 2021. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate (currently 3.25%). There was no activity during 2019; advances during 2020 were repaid in full with no balance outstanding as of December 31, 2020. Interest expense was $234,000 for 2020 and $0 for 2019.

On March 27, 2015, the Company entered into a $10 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. The line was renewed on March 30, 2018 and matured on March 30, 2019. The line of credit bore interest at the prime rate; there were no outstanding balances or interest expense related to this line of credit during 2019.

At December 31, 2020, the Bank has two unsecured lines of credit totaling $50,000,000 for the purchase of Federal Funds from correspondent banks. The lines are in the amount of $25,000,000 each and do not have expiration dates. A third unsecured line in the amount of $50,000,000 expires on June 20, 2021. The rate of interest for an advance on both lines of credit is set at the time of such advance and is based on the market rates prevailing at that time. There were no advances outstanding on any of the lines of credit as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Subordinated Debentures

On December 31, 2003, the Company completed the private placement of $10,310,000 in subordinated debentures to Happy Capital Trust I (the Trust). The Trust funded the purchase of the subordinated debentures through the sale of trust preferred securities with a liquidation value of $10,310,000. Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders on April 7, 2004. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities is 3-Month LIBOR plus 2.85% (3.09% and 4.84% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively). Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years. The preferred securities mature in December 2034 unless the Company elects and obtains regulatory approval to accelerate the maturity date.

In the Signature Bank merger, the Company assumed the $2,165,000 in floating rate Preferred Capital Securities originally issued in February 2004 through Signature Capital Trust, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As guarantor, the Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the preferred capital securities, the redemption price when a capital security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated. The Preferred Capital Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 4% (4.21% and 5.93% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively). The Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part upon repayments of the debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2034 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.

In the Centennial Bank merger (see Note 17, Acquisitions), the Company assumed the $6,083,000 in floating rate Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities originally issued in September 2006 through HaleCo, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As guarantor, the Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the preferred capital securities, the redemption price when a capital security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated. The Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.7% (1.92% at December 31, 2020). The Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part upon repayments of the debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2036 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.

In the Centennial Bank merger (see Note 17, Acquisitions), the Company assumed the $4,640,000 in floating rate the Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities originally issued in September 2007 through LubCo, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As guarantor, the Company unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the preferred capital securities, the redemption price when a capital security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated. The Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.2% (2.42% at December 31, 2020). The Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part upon repayments of the debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2037 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Cumulative Trust Preferred Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.

Subordinated Debentures (continued)

 

Subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities may be included in regulatory Tier 1 capital subject to a limitation that such amounts not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital. The remainder of this and other subordinated debt is included in Tier 2 capital. There is no limitation for inclusion of subordinated debt in total risk-based capital and, as such, all subordinated debt was included in total risk-based capital.

For 2020 and 2019, interest expense on the subordinated debentures was $669,000 and $691,000, respectively (including premium amortization of $49,000 and $0 for 2020 and 2019, respectively). Debt financing costs are being amortized to the first call date of the debentures. Amortization of debt financing costs for 2020 and 2019 was insignificant.

Included in “subordinated debentures” on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is a reduction of $1,839,000 to reflect the estimated fair value of these liabilities assumed in the Centennial acquisition (see Note 17, Acquisitions).

Subordinated Notes

In July 2020, the Company completed the private placement of $140,000,000 in subordinated notes. The notes have a maturity date of July 31, 2030 and carry a fixed rate of 5.500% for the first five years. Thereafter, the notes bear interest at 3-month Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) plus 5.435% resetting quarterly. Interest payments are due semiannually in January and July. The notes include a right of prepayment without penalty on or after July 31, 2025. The principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest are due at the maturity date.

In August 2020, the Company paid all outstanding balances associated with the July 2015 issuance of $65,000,000 in private placement subordinated notes. The notes had a maturity date of August 1, 2025 and carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.875% for the first five years. Thereafter, the notes would bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 4.12%, resetting quarterly. Interest payments were due semiannually in February and August. The notes included a right of prepayment without penalty on or after August 1, 2020. The principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest were paid at the August 2020 prepayment date.

In January 2021, the Company also paid the remaining principal and all accrued but unpaid interest of an additional $7,500,000 private placement subordinated note issued on September 30, 2015. The note had a maturity date of October 1, 2025 and carried a fixed rate of interest of 5.875% until maturity. Interest payments were due quarterly. The note included a right of prepayment without penalty on or after October 1, 2020.

These subordinated notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. Interest expense on the subordinated notes was $5,962,000 and $4,715,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively (including amortization of issuance costs of $463,000 and $456,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively). Issuance costs for the initial $65,000,000 issuance totaled $1,181,000 and were fully amortized upon prepayment in August 2020. Issuance costs for the most recent placement of $140,000,000 totaled $2,327,000 and will be amortized over the period from issuance to the date of earliest prepayment. The unamortized balances of total issuances costs were $2,130,000 and $265,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the face of the notes.

NOTE 10 - CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company (as a bank holding company and on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting rules. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. Furthermore, the Company’s and Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) (each as defined in the regulations) relative to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). The following tables present actual and required capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, including the Basel III capital conservation buffer. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules. Management believes, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Regulatory Capital Requirements (continued)

 

As of December 31, 2020, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based, CET1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Capital Activity

The Company issued common stock through three separate private placement offerings in 2020. Common stock of $71,239,000 was issued during September 2020; common stock of $36,481,000 was issued through the merger with Centennial Bank in July 2020 (see Note 17, Acquisitions); and common stock of $2,904,000 was issued in February 2020. The Company issued common stock of $64,895,000 through a private placement offering during 2019. There were no material issuance costs associated with any of these offerings. Other material issuances of common stock during 2020 included the following: $2,532,000 of purchases by the ESOP (see Note 12, Employee Benefit Plans); $1,400,000 as employee compensation; and $231,000 paid to directors who elected to receive their board fees in the form of common stock. Other material issuances of common stock during 2019 included the following: $2,452,000 of purchases by the ESOP (see Note 12, Employee Benefit Plans); and $1,201,000 as consideration for the purchase of a plane (see Note 14, Related Party).

In July 2020, the Company completed the private placement of $140,000,000 in subordinated notes. The notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes (see Note 9, Borrowings). In August 2020, the Company paid all outstanding balances associated with the July 2015 issuance of $65,000,000 in private placement subordinated notes. In January 2021, the Company paid the outstanding balance associated with the September 2015 issuance of a $7,500,000 private placement subordinated note.

Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company. Specifically, approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the Bank’s capital to fall below specified levels, or if dividends declared exceed the Bank’s retained earnings. These limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company could limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders. During 2020 and 2019, the Bank paid dividends of $2,130,000 and $4,259,000, respectively, to the Company; these were eliminated in consolidation. The dividends were used by the Company to pay interest on Subordinated Notes. Regulatory approval was not required for the dividends.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the audited consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the approximate amounts of these financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

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

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

The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements; nor does it have any transactions, other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements, with unconsolidated, special purpose entities where those transactions would expose the Company to liability.

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which contains Code Section 401(k) provisions. Employees are generally eligible to participate on January 1st, July 1st, or other dates that may be selected by the Company following their initial date of service, provided that the employee has attained the age of 18 and is employed in a position requiring at least 1,000 hours of service for the plan year. The Company may make matching contributions, discretionary basic contributions, or discretionary additional contributions. The Company contribution is based on the employee’s annual compensation.

Employer matching contributions are included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the consolidated statements of income and were $3,171,000 and $2,608,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The ESOP had no unearned shares or shares committed to be released at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The ESOP owned 1,511,316 and 1,513,687 shares at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and these shares are included in the total of shares outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share for the Company. The ESOP purchased 52,475 shares, approximately $2,532,000, during 2020. The ESOP purchased 53,877 shares, approximately $2,452,000, during 2019.

The Company has an obligation to repurchase shares from ESOP participants for distributions from the ESOP. The market value for the shares for this purpose is $53.50 per share and is based on a December 31, 2020 valuation by an independent external firm. The valuation as of December 31, 2019 was $48.25.

Deferred Compensation Agreements

The Company established non-qualified deferred compensation agreements covering certain employees and directors. The unfunded liabilities related to these agreements are based on predetermined post-retirement benefits for each individual. Expense related to benefits accrued for these agreements is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the consolidated statements of income and was $1,384,000 and $576,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The unfunded liability included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets amounted to $11,292,000 and $10,535,000 for December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options

The Company has entered into various stock option agreements that grant options to its directors, officers, and employees for up to 8,820,550 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options have been granted under the plans. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Vesting periods are generally five years from the date of grant with options expiring in ten years. The Company issues new shares for options when they are exercised.

Expense for the stock options is computed using the equity-classified awards method, under which the fair value of each option grant is calculated utilizing a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and that value is recognized as expense (and as an equal increase in “additional paid-in capital” on the consolidated balance sheets) over the vesting period. Expense related to stock options is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the consolidated statements of income and was $2,112,000 and $993,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expense related to stock options for directors is included in “legal and professional fees” in the consolidated statements of income and was $80,000 and $24,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The combined stock option expense was $2,192,000 and $1,017,000, for 2020 and 2019, and the associated income tax benefit was $460,000 and $213,000, respectively, for the same periods. There were no modifications of the terms of any options during 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020 the unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding options was $1,333,000. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.44 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were 218,948 and 166,540 options granted during 2020 and 2019, respectively. The weighted-average fair value for the 2020 grants was $11.74. The following table shows the weighted-average assumptions related to those grants:

 

     2020     2019  

Dividend yield

     0     0

Expected life

     6.9 years       7.4 years  

Expected volatility

     21.8     20.6

Risk-free interest rate

     0.7     1.8

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility in the value of the Company’s shares as well as an analysis of stock volatility of selected peers performed by a third party. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The total intrinsic value of outstanding options and outstanding exercisable options (all of which were in the money) was $8,106,000 and $7,873,000, respectively, at December 31, 2019.

The total intrinsic value of exercised options during 2020 and 2019 was $4,212,000 and $5,307,000, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises during 2020 and 2019 was $2,131,000 and $3,054,000, respectively. The actual tax benefit for the tax deductions related to stock option exercises totaled $448,000 and $642,000 for the same periods. Cash used to repurchase shares issued for option exercises during 2020 and 2019 was $5,566,000 and $6,985,000, respectively. The Company expects to repurchase between 110,000 and 240,000 shares issued for option exercises during 2021, based on activity in prior periods.

The information above regarding cash received from option exercises and cash used to repurchase shares issued for option exercises is on a gross basis. In practice, many option exercise transactions combine both an exercise component and a repurchase component, for either some or all of the options exercised; in these instances the cash effect is experienced and recognized on a net basis.

Restricted Stock and Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company has entered into various restricted stock and stock appreciation rights (SAR) award agreements that grant restricted stock or SARs to its directors and employees. Under the terms of the plans, the Company may award up to 1,500,000 units to the plan participants, either in the form of shares of restricted stock or as SARs.

All shares of restricted stock issued under the plans are subject to a restriction period whereby the shares cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered based on each individual’s agreement. This restriction period may be adjusted at any time at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Any participant that terminates employment or ceases services for the Bank prior to the end of the restriction period will forfeit all

Restricted Stock (continued)

 

restricted shares subject to the plans. These shares generally have a term of up to ten years, with vesting ranging from immediate to ten years. These shares generally have conditions related to the individual’s longevity, performance, or both, and such conditions may be revised as, for example, an individual’s job duties change. Upon vesting, restrictions lift and the shares cease to be counted as restricted stock. Consequently, all of the restricted shares outstanding are also non-vested. Restricted shares are included in the total of shares outstanding on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and for purposes of computing earnings per share.

Compensation expense for restricted stock is computed using the equity-classified awards method, under which the fair value of each restricted share is based on the share value computed for the ESOP ($48.25 per share as of the December 31, 2019 valuation), and that value is recognized as compensation expense (and as an equal increase in “additional paid-in capital” on the consolidated balance sheets) over the period of each grant. Expense related to restricted stock is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the consolidated statements of income and was $483,000 and $725,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with that expense was $101,000 and $152,000, respectively, for the same periods. As of December 31, 2020 the unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding restricted stock options was $780,000. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.43 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

SARs are settled in cash, expire in four to ten years, and are generally subject to vesting in three to five years. Expense related to SARs is included in “salaries and employee benefits” in the consolidated statements of income and was $3,374,000 and $3,067,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with that expense was $709,000 and $644,000, respectively, for the same periods. Compensation expense for SARs is computed using the liability method and is recognized over the vesting period based on the fair value at each balance sheet date based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The SAR liability of $13,799,000 and $12,035,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, the unrecognized compensation expense (based on the $53.50 current share value) for outstanding SARs was $1,901,000. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.05 years.

In management’s opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and deposits were generally made in the ordinary course of business; though some reflect adjustments for employees, they are still on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Deposits from related parties held by the bank at December 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $25,624,000 and $10,489,000, respectively.

During 2019, the Board approved the purchase of an aircraft from a current director for 26,400 shares of common stock in the Company, a value of approximately $1,201,000. This aircraft is held in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and is included in “premises and equipment, net” on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 14 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

The Bank is lessor in several leasing transactions with entities associated with related parties (current directors). These transactions are at market rates and terms, and the associated lease revenue of $44,000 and $44,000 for 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included as a reduction of “occupancy and equipment expense, net” on the consolidated statements of income.

The Bank obtains professional services from related parties in the ordinary course of business. The payments associated with these related party services totaled $129,000 and $275,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in “legal and professional fees” on the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 15 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2 Inputs - 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 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions regarding what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Recurring Measurements

The following table presents assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis, along with the fair value hierarchy level employed (in thousands):

NOTE 15 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Recurring Measurements (continued)

 

The Company reports its marketable equity securities utilizing Level 1 inputs. For these securities, there is a quoted market price. All debt securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements 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 prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other factors.

Transfers between levels would occur based on changes in overall or specific market conditions. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the periods presented.

Nonrecurring Measurements

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are instead subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets carried on the consolidated balance sheets for which a nonrecurring measurement in fair value has been recorded, along with the fair value hierarchy level employed (in thousands):

Other real estate owned

     —          650        805        1,455  

Impaired loans are reported at fair value based on the discounted present value of expected cash flows (Level 3 inputs), or on the value of underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs: independent appraisals; and subjective adjustments (generally 10-30%) applied by management to reflect estimated selling costs and other expected discounts to appraised values.

During 2020, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $11,013,000 were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $3,586,000 to a total reported fair value of $7,427,000 based on values determined utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

During 2019, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $7,773,000 were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $2,264,000 to a total reported fair value of $5,509,000 based on values determined utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

NOTE 15 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Nonrecurring Measurements (continued)

 

Other real estate owned is valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to other real estate owned. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Appraisals based upon comparable sales result in a Level 2 classification while appraisals based upon expected cash flows of the property result in a Level 3 classification.

NOTE 17 - ACQUISITIONS

Centennial Bank

On July 1, 2020, the Company merged with Centennial Bank, a privately-held bank headquartered in Lubbock, Texas. The Company acquired 100% of Centennial Bank’s outstanding stock. The fourteen branches included in the merger are located in the Texas South Plains and the Central Texas Hill Country. The total purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands):

 

Assets acquired:

  

Cash

   $ 179,695  

Securities and other investments

     91,113  

Loans

     611,260

     (1,605
  

 

 

 

Consideration paid

   $ 134,982  
  

 

 

 

The net cash received as a result of the transaction was $81,194,000: $179,695,000 in cash included with the assets acquired less the $98,501,000 cash consideration paid to Centennial Bank. The Company also issued 756,079 shares of Bancshares stock, with an estimated value of $36,481,000 as of closing.

Non-credit impaired loans had an estimated fair value of $600,228,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $610,371,000. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects an insignificant amount of the contractual balance of these loans to be uncollectible. The difference of $10,143,000 will be recognized into interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans. Purchased credit impaired loans (PCI loans) had an estimated fair value of $10,756,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $15,589,000. An amount of $182,000 will be recognized into interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans. The difference of $4,651,000 remains on the balance sheet as a credit mark unless the loans experience changes in fair value or collectability. The remaining variance of $276,000 relates to loans in process and overdrafts as of the acquisition date.

The Company recorded goodwill of $75,635,000 in this acquisition; this goodwill relates to the combination of expected synergies and desirable branch locations within the Company’s Texas Panhandle market and new Central Texas Hill Country market. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the estimated fair value of the consideration exchanged compared to the net of (a) the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired, and (b) the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed. The core deposit intangible of $1,855,000 represents the estimated value of the core deposits of the acquired branches based on their costs relative to the higher costs of alternative funding sources. The goodwill that was recognized in this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

NOTE 17 - ACQUISITIONS (continued)

Centennial Bank (continued)

 

Under the terms of the purchase agreement related to the Centennial merger, the Company deposited $1,500,000 of the total consideration paid into escrow as security for potential losses and expenses related to the acquired substandard, doubtful, loss, or other real-estate owned loans as of December 31, 2019. The escrow amount will be held and monitored by the Company for three years, commencing with the merger date. The Company will be reimbursed 50% of loan losses from the escrow amount during the escrow period as losses and expenses related to acquired loans are incurred. The Company fully expects to recover the entire amount placed into the escrow amount based on a fair value analysis by a third party valuation firm. The escrow amount is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

In addition, a separate escrow amount of $1,053,000 was established and funded by the seller, based on vendor estimates, to indemnify the Company for contract termination fees and deconversion costs incurred following closing. The escrow amount will be held by the Company for a period of one year from the date of acquisition and will be released to either the Company or the seller based on final transaction costs at the conclusion of the escrow period. The Company recorded an indemnification asset as contract termination and deconversion costs were incurred, totaling the amount in escrow. The effect of the recognition of the indemnification asset was an offset during 2020 of $1,053,000 to the expenses incurred related to the contract termination and deconversion costs. The indemnification asset will be derecognized when the Company receives the cash due from the escrow.

First State Bank of Mobeetie

On January 24, 2020, the Company acquired First State Bank of Mobeetie, a privately-held bank headquartered in Mobeetie, Texas. The branches included in the acquisition are located in the Texas Panhandle towns of Mobeetie and Wheeler. The total cash purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on management’s best estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands):

Non-credit impaired loans had an estimated fair value of $10,414,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $10,437,000. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects that an insignificant amount of the contractual balance of these loans will be uncollectible. The difference of $23,000 will be recognized into interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans. Purchased credit impaired loans (PCI loans) had an estimated fair value of $638,000 at the acquisition date and a total contractual balance of $816,000. The difference of $178,000 remains on the balance sheet as a credit mark unless the loans experience changes in fair value or collectability. The remaining variance of $23,000 relates to loans in process and overdrafts as of the acquisition date.

The Company recorded goodwill of $1,811,000 in this acquisition; this goodwill relates to the combination of expected synergies and desirable branch locations within the Company’s Texas Panhandle market. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the estimated fair value of the consideration exchanged compared to the net of (a) the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired, and (b) the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed. The core deposit intangible of $685,000 represents the estimated value of the core deposits of the acquired branches based on their costs relative to the higher costs of alternative funding sources. None of the goodwill that was recognized in this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

First Bank & Trust

On June 7, 2019, the Company acquired four branches from First Bank & Trust, a privately-held bank headquartered in Seymour, Texas. The branches are located in the Texas Panhandle towns of Matador, Memphis, Turkey and White Deer. The Company purchased the branches’ loans, premises and certain other assets and assumed the branches’ deposits and certain other liabilities. The total cash purchase price for the acquisition was allocated based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands):

 

Assets acquired:

The Company recorded goodwill of $238,000 in this acquisition; this goodwill relates to the combination of expected synergies and desirable branch locations within the Company’s Texas Panhandle market.

The core deposit intangible of $1,509,000 represents the estimated value of the core deposits of the acquired branches based on their costs relative to the higher costs of alternative funding sources. The goodwill that was recognized in this transaction is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Subsequent Acquisition Activity

On February 19, 2021, the Company is scheduled to acquire First Bank of Muleshoe, a privately-held bank headquartered in Muleshoe, Texas with approximately $81,149,000 in assets, $68,600,000 in deposits and $4,406,000 in loans. As a result of this acquisition, the Bank will add one branch each in the Texas Panhandle towns of Muleshoe, Bovina and Dimmitt. The total purchase price will be approximately $19,125,000. The initial allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired has not been completed. The Company is working with a third-party valuation firm to determine the fair value of the loans along with the amounts of the core deposit intangible and goodwill; the Company does not expect the intangibles to be materially significant. The goodwill in this acquisition is the result of a combination of expected synergies in the Texas Panhandle market.

In addition, during 2020 the Company entered into a purchase agreement with another financial institution with approximately $56,000,000 in total assets. The purchase is pending regulatory approval and is anticipated to close in 2021.

Acquisition Costs

Related to the above transactions, the Company recorded acquisition costs of $2,496,000 and $754,000 for various professional services during 2020 and 2019. Acquisition costs are included in “legal and professional expenses” on the consolidated financial statements.
