NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB Financial”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank, (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Exchange Underwriters, Inc. (“Exchange Underwriters”). CB Financial and the Bank are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment including related cash flow projections, goodwill impairment, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations at the dates and for the periods presented. All of these adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, and they are the only adjustments included in the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

The Company evaluated the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 and determined that segment reporting information related to Exchange Underwriters was not required to be presented because the segment comprises less than 10% of total interest and noninterest income and less than 10% of the combined assets of the Company.

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated into the consolidated financial statements the effect of all material known events determined by ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, to be recognizable events.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company derives substantially all its income from banking and bank-related services which include interest earnings on commercial, commercial mortgage, residential real estate and consumer loan financing, as well as interest earnings on investment securities and fees generated from deposit services to its customers. The Company provides banking services primarily to communities in Greene, Allegheny, Washington, Fayette, and Westmoreland Counties located in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Company also conducts insurance brokerage activities through Exchange Underwriters.

 

Acquired Loans

 

Loans that were acquired in the merger with FedFirst Financial Corporation were recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. The fair value of the acquired loans was estimated by management with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist.

 

The excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable discount and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable discount. The nonaccretable discount represents estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows require an evaluation to determine the need for an allowance for loan losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result in the reversal of a corresponding amount of the nonaccretable discount which is then reclassified as accretable discount that is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. The evaluation of the amount of future cash flows that is expected to be collected is performed in a similar manner as that used to determine our allowance for credit losses. Charge-offs of the principal amount on acquired loans would be first applied to the nonaccretable discount portion of the fair value adjustment.

Reclassifications

 

Certain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. ASU 2014-09 specifies that an entity shall recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when, or as, the customer obtains control of the asset. Entities are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB approved to defer for one year the effective date of this ASU to December 15, 2017 and to also allow entities to early adopt the standard, but not before December 31, 2016. The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09, but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) – Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the requirement in ASC Subtopic 225-20 to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary, and if so, to separately present the item in the income statement net of tax, after income from continuing operations. Items that are either unusual in nature or infrequently occurring will continue to be reported as a separate component of income from continuing operations. Alternatively, these amounts may still be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The same requirement has been expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequent. ASU 2015-01 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU 2015-01, but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

 

There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income is used as the numerator.

 

The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.

For debt securities, the Company does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company performs a review of the entire securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to identify securities that may indicate an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company’s management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and the financial condition of the issuer. The securities that are temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 relate principally to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the specific securities. The Company does not intend to sell or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost or maturity of the security.

 

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of investment securities as of the date indicated:

Note 4. Loans and Related Allowance for Loan Loss

 

The Company’s loan portfolio is made up of four segments: real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, consumer loans and other loans. These segments are further segregated between loans accounted for under the amortized cost method (“Originated Loans”) and acquired loans that were originally recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related pre-merger allowance for loan losses (“Loans Acquired at Fair Value”). The following table presents the major classifications of loans as of the dates indicated.

TDRs typically are the result of our loss mitigation activities whereby concessions are granted to minimize loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The concessions granted for the TDRs in our portfolio primarily consist of, but are not limited to, modification of payment or other terms, temporary rate modification and extension of maturity date. Loans classified as TDRs consisted of 12 loans totaling $4.2 million and 13 loans totaling $4.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Originated loans classified as TDRs consisted of 4 loans totaling $1.4 million and $830,000, respectively, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Loans acquired at fair value as TDRs consisted of 8 loans totaling $2.8 million and 9 loans totaling $3.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, one commercial loan previously identified as an originated TDR and two other commercial loans were consolidated into one loan in a new TDR transaction. In addition, two commercial loans previously identified as originated TDRs were refinanced in new TDR transactions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, one commercial TDR acquired at fair value paid off. No TDRs have subsequently defaulted during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The following table presents information at the time of modification related to loans modified as TDRs during the periods indicated.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Financial Condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

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 and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Performance letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance-related contracts. The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one-year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management. Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the letter. For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Company deposit instruments or customer business assets.

 

Note 9. Fair Value Disclosure

 

FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value and provides the framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the market date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methods to determine fair value.

 

The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level I – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.
  Level II – Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level I inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level II inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, and other observable inputs.
  Level III – Fair value would be based on significant unobservable inputs. Examples of valuation methodologies that would result in Level III classification include option pricing models, discounted cash flows, and other similar techniques.

 

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated, by level within the fair value hierarchy. The majority of the Company’s securities are included in Level II of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for Level II securities were primarily determined by a third party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. The standard inputs that are normally used include benchmark yields of like securities, reportable trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications.

The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated by level within the fair value hierarchy. The table also presents the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loans include quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs or observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

Impaired loans are evaluated when the loan is identified as impaired and valued at the lower of cost or fair value at that time. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of impaired loans consists of the loan balance of $1.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, less their specific valuation allowances of $540,000 and $873,000, respectively.

 

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

 

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

 

The Company employs simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices are not available, based upon the following assumptions:

 

Cash and Due From Banks, Restricted Stock, Bank-Owned Life Insurance, Accrued Interest Receivable, Short-Term Borrowings, and Accrued Interest Payable

 

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

 

Investment Securities

 

The fair value of investment securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

 

Loans Receivable

 

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates for comparable loans. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

 

23

 

 

Deposit Liabilities

 

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates on comparable instruments to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

Borrowed Funds

 

Fair values of borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit

 

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, and the fair value determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit are presented in Note 8.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in this report. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, but rather statements based on the Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions.

 

24

 

 

Management’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include the following:

 

·General and local economic conditions;
·Changes in interest rates, deposit flows, demand for loans, real estate values and competition;
·Competitive products and pricing;
·The ability of our customers to make scheduled loan payments;
·Loan delinquency rates;
·Our ability to manage the risks involved in our business;
·Our ability to integrate the operations of businesses we acquire;
·Inflation, market and monetary fluctuations;
·CB Financial’s ability to control costs and expenses;
·Changes in federal and state legislation and regulation (i.e. the effect of new capital standards to be imposed by banking regulators and the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act).

 

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

 

General

 

CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB Financial”) is a bank holding company established in 2006. CB Financial’s business activity is conducted through its wholly owned banking subsidiary Community Bank (“the Bank”). CB Financial and the Bank are collectively referred to as the “Company.” All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

The Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. The Bank operates from 16 offices in Greene, Allegheny, Washington, Fayette and Westmoreland Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Bank is a community-oriented institution offering residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses in its market area. Property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products are offered through Exchange Underwriters, Inc, the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary that is a full-service, independent insurance agency.

 

On October 31, 2014, the Company completed its merger with FedFirst Financial Corporation (“FedFirst” or the “merger”), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank, a community bank based in Monessen, Pennsylvania. The merger resulted in the addition of five branches and expanded the Company’s reach into Fayette and Westmoreland counties in southwestern Pennsylvania.

 

The Bank’s website address is www.communitybank.tv. Information on the website is not and should not be considered a part of this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion focuses on our consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2015 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2014 and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations also are affected by our provisions for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of fees and service charges on deposit accounts, fees and charges on loans, insurance commissions, income from bank-owned life insurance and other income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of expenses related to salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, contracted services, legal fees, other real estate owned, advertising and promotion, stationery and supplies, deposit and general insurance and other expenses.

 

Financial institutions like us, in general, are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. Our operations and lending are principally concentrated in the southwestern Pennsylvania market area.

Statement of Financial Condition Analysis

 

Assets. Total assets decreased $22.2 million, or 2.6%, to $824.1 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $846.3 million at December 31, 2014.

 

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale decreased $3.9 million, or 3.7%, to $101.5 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $105.4 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of calls and maturities of U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions that were utilized to pay down borrowings and were partially reinvested in U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

 

Loans, net, decreased $19.2 million, or 2.8%, to $661.2 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $680.5 million at December 31, 2014 primarily due to $38.2 million of residential loan sales in the second quarter partially offset by increases of $21.1 million in consumer loans (mainly indirect auto loans) and $19.2 million in commercial real estate loans. The loan sales were primarily comprised of 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans that were acquired in the merger and were secured by properties located outside the Bank’s normal lending area within the five counties it conducts business. The Company utilized the proceeds from the loan sales to payoff $14.0 million of borrowings in the third quarter and to fund commercial loan originations, which have shorter interest rate repricing durations than mortgage loans.

 

Other assets decreased $1.4 million, or 15.4%, primarily due to the receipt of a $1.2 million federal income tax refund.

 

Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $26.5 million, or 3.5%, to $737.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $764.4 million at December 31, 2014.

 

Total deposits decreased $7.5 million, or 1.1%, to $689.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $697.5 million at December 31, 2014. There were decreases of $17.8 million in money market accounts, $3.7 million in NOW accounts and $3.2 million in time deposits, partially offset by increases of $12.7 million in brokered deposits and $4.4 million in savings accounts. The decrease in deposit balances is partly attributable to a decline in school district deposits, which is a seasonal fluctuation, as well as a decline in oil and gas industry related deposits. Brokered deposits increased primarily due to the Bank participating in a reciprocal deposit network, which allows participating institutions to both send and receive identical amounts simultaneously and provides increased FDIC insurance coverage on customer deposit amounts greater than $250,000. The reciprocal deposit network does not share the same characteristics of traditional brokered deposits because they are based on actual customer relationships. Due to the low interest rate environment, the Bank has been selective on offering promotional interest rates and has concentrated its efforts on increasing noninterest-bearing accounts by building strong customer relationships.

 

Short-term borrowings decreased $18.8 million, or 40.2%, to $27.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $46.7 million at December 31, 2014. At September 30, 2015, short-term borrowings were comprised entirely of $27.9 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2014. The increase is related to business deposit customers whose funds, above designated target balances, are transferred into an overnight interest-earning investment account by purchasing securities from the Bank’s investment portfolio under an agreement to repurchase. In addition, in the first quarter, a portion of FHLB short-term borrowings were replaced with $15.0 million in long-term borrowings with laddered maturities designed to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk in the event of rising interest rates. Funds generated from loan sales and security maturities and calls were utilized to payoff FHLB short-term borrowings and $15.0 million of long-term FHLB borrowings. As a result of current year activity, the weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings decreased from 3.78% to 1.53%.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $4.3 million, or 5.3%, to $86.3 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $81.9 million at December 31, 2014. During the period, net income was $6.7 million and the Company paid $2.6 million in dividends to stockholders.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Overview. Net income increased $1.4 million, to $2.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $739,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to income generated in the current period from the merger in the fourth quarter of 2014 as well as $368,000 of merger-related expenses incurred in the prior period only.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 74.1%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Interest and dividend income increased $3.3 million, or 72.3%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest income on loans increased $3.3 million due to an increase in average loans outstanding of $274.6 million primarily due to the merger. Despite a decrease of $7.9 million in the average balance, interest income on taxable securities increased $50,000 due to an increase of 53 basis points in yield from new purchases or from higher yields on the remaining securities in the portfolio. Other interest and dividend income increased $13,000 primarily due to an increase in FHLB stock dividends. As a result of an increase in borrowings compared to the prior period, the Bank was required to hold additional FHLB stock. Interest income on securities exempt from federal tax decreased $40,000 due to deploying proceeds from security calls and maturities into loans and for merger-related funding purposes in the prior period. There was a decrease of $3.2 million in the average balance on securities exempt from federal tax and a decrease of 25 basis points in yield as a result of purchasing securities with lower prevailing yields.

 

Interest expense increased $232,000, or 54.3%, to $659,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $427,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense on deposits increased $189,000 due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $180.0 million primarily due to the merger. Despite the increase in average balances, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 1 basis point, primarily related to the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit to lower rates. Interest expense on other borrowed funds and short-term borrowings increased $38,000 and $5,000, respectively, primarily due to an increase in average borrowings of $24.8 million.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal tax rate of 34%. As such, amounts will not agree to income as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Average balances for loans are net of the allowance for loan losses, but include non-accrual loans. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and are expressed in annualized rates.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal tax rate of 34%. The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. The total column represents the sum of the prior columns.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and was all applied to the originated loan portfolio. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $98,000 compared to $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Management analyzes the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the need for additional provisions for loan losses and determined the current quarter provision was necessary due to quarterly charge-offs, commercial and indirect auto loan growth and an increase in substandard loans.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $855,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a $769,000 increase in insurance commission from the acquisition of Exchange Underwriters as part of the merger. Net gains on the sales of loans increased $131,000 primarily due an increase in the number of loans originated and subsequently sold to the FHLB as part of the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (“MPF®”) program. The MPF® program enables member financial institutions to offer competitive interest rates for fixed-rate mortgage loans without assuming any of the interest rate risk associated with a long-term asset. Income from bank owned life insurance increased $61,000 due to the acquisition of policies in the merger. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $57,000 primarily due to check card fees from deposit accounts acquired in the merger. Other miscellaneous income increased $25,000 primarily due to a decline in amortization on mortgage servicing rights related to loans sold to the FHLB as part of the MPF® program.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 45.3%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million primarily due to employees retained as a result of the merger as well as normal salary increases. Occupancy and equipment increased $145,000 and $136,000, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of branches in the merger and increased costs associated with the prior year upgrade of the data processing system to accommodate additional account activity. Advertising increased $145,000 related to a cooperative marketing agreement at Exchange Underwriters and advertising initiatives to promote the merger. Amortization of core deposit intangible increased $134,000 due to amortization of the core deposit intangible from the merger. Legal and professional fees increased $86,000 due to legal fees that were reclassified to other real estate owned expense in the prior period and a cybersecurity audit conducted in the current period. PA shares tax, which is calculated based on the Bank’s stockholders’ equity, increased $78,000 due to an increase in stockholders’ equity from of the merger. Contracted services increased $67,000 primarily due to increases in data processing expenses and fees associated with becoming a publicly traded company. Bankcard processing expense increased $27,000 due to the increase in the number of accounts from the merger. Other noninterest expense increased $304,000 primarily due to an increase in various miscellaneous expenses due to the merger, such as telephone, supplies, postage, director fees, and business travel. Merger expenses decreased $368,000 due to merger-related expenses incurred in the prior period only. Other real estate owned expense decreased $190,000 due to a writedown and related legal expenses associated with a commercial property in the prior period.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes increased $636,000 to $904,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $268,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was 29.8% compared to 26.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in income taxes and effective tax rate was due to an increase of $2.0 million in net income before income tax expense and a decrease in tax-exempt income.

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Overview. Net income increased $4.1 million, to $6.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to income generated in the current period from the merger in the fourth quarter of 2014 as well by $1.0 of merger-related expenses incurred in the prior period only.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $9.5 million, or 76.4%, to $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Interest and dividend income increased $10.2 million, or 74.1%, to $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Interest income on loans increased $10.2 million due to an increase in average loans outstanding of $291.3 million primarily due to the merger. Other interest and dividend income increased $164,000 primarily due to an increase in FHLB stock dividends which included the payment of a special dividend in the first quarter of 2015 of $56,000. As a result of an increase in borrowings compared to the prior period, the Bank was required to hold additional FHLB stock. Despite a decrease of $12.2 million in the average balance, interest income on taxable securities increased $71,000 due to an increase of 43 basis points in yield from new purchases or from higher yields on the remaining securities in the portfolio. Interest income on securities exempt from federal tax decreased $173,000 due to deploying proceeds from security calls and maturities into loans and for merger-related funding purposes in the prior period. There was a decrease of $6.2 million in the average balance on securities exempt from federal tax and a decrease of 20 basis points in yield as a result of purchasing securities with lower prevailing yields.

 

Interest expense increased $709,000, or 52.9%, to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense on deposits increased $547,000 due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $179.9 million primarily due to the merger. Despite the increase in average balances, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 2 basis points, primarily related to the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit to lower rates. Interest expense on other borrowed funds and short-term borrowings increased $132,000 and $30,000, respectively, primarily due to an increase in average borrowings of $34.4 million.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made for tax exempt loan and securities income utilizing a marginal federal tax rate of 34%. Average balances for loans are net of the allowance for loan losses, but include non-accrual loans. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented and are expressed in annualized rates.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $975,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. There was no provision for loan losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $282,000 compared to net charge-offs of $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Management analyzes the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the need for additional provisions for loan losses and determined the current provision was necessary due to current period charge-offs, commercial and indirect auto loan growth, and an increase in substandard loans.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $3.2 million to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in insurance commission from the acquisition of Exchange Underwriters as part of the merger. Included in insurance commissions are $340,000 of contingency fees, which are commissions that are contingent upon several factors including, but not limited to, eligible written premiums, earned premiums, incurred losses and stop loss charges. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $296,000 primarily due to check card fees from deposit accounts acquired in the merger. In addition, income from bank owned life insurance increased $180,000 due to the acquisition of policies in the merger. Net gains on sale of loans decreased $24,000 primarily due to losses on the sales of $38.2 million of residential loans that were acquired in the merger. Other miscellaneous income increased $47,000 primarily due to a decline in amortization on mortgage servicing rights related to loans sold to the FHLB as part of the MPF® program.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $5.6 million, or 48.6%, to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.8 million primarily due to employees retained as a result of the merger as well as normal salary increases. Occupancy and equipment increased $452,000 and $413,000, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of branches in the merger and increased costs associated with the prior year upgrade of the data processing system to accommodate additional account activity. Advertising increased $411,000 related to a cooperative marketing agreement at Exchange Underwriters and advertising initiatives to promote the merger. Amortization of core deposit intangible increased $401,000 due to amortization of the core deposit intangible from the merger. PA shares tax, which is calculated based on the Bank’s stockholders’ equity, increased $242,000 due to an increase in stockholders’ equity from the merger. Contracted services increased $164,000 primarily due to increases in data processing expenses and fees associated with becoming a publicly traded company. Bankcard processing expense increased $126,000 due to the increase in the number of accounts from the merger. The FDIC assessment increased $85,000 due to the increase in deposits from the merger. Other noninterest expense increased $880,000 primarily due to an increase in various miscellaneous expenses due to the merger, such as telephone, supplies, postage, director fees, and business travel. Merger expenses decreased $1.0 million due to merger-related expenses incurred in the prior period only. Other real estate owned income was $210,000 in the current period compared to expense of $204,000 in the prior period resulting in a decrease of $414,000 in expense due to gains recognized on the sale of properties in the current period and a writedown and related legal expenses associated with a commercial property in the prior period.

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes increased $2.0 million to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $734,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 29.4% compared to 22.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in income taxes and effective tax rate was due to an increase of $6.1 million in net income before income tax expense and a decrease in tax-exempt income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

 

Other than loan commitments, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a significant current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of commitments outstanding as of September 30, 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Management

 

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities, calls and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

 

The Company regularly adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon its assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits with other banks and short- and intermediate-term securities. The Company believes that it had sufficient liquidity at September 30, 2015 to satisfy its short- and long-term liquidity needs at that date.

 

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash and due from banks, which totaled $15.5 million at September 30, 2015. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. Unpledged securities, which provide an additional source of liquidity, totaled $18.1 million. In addition, at September 30, 2015, the Company had the ability to borrow up to $297.1 million from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, of which $15.0 million was outstanding and $19.5 million was utilized toward a standby letter of credit. The Company also has the ability to borrow up to $40.0 million from the Federal Reserve Bank through its Borrower-In-Custody line of credit agreement and $40.0 million from multiple line of credit arrangements with various banks, none of which were outstanding.

 

At September 30, 2015, time deposits due within one year of that date totaled $62.9 million, or 42.4% of total time deposits. If these time deposits do not remain with the Company, the Company will be required to seek other sources of funds. Depending on market conditions, the Company may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than it currently pays on these certificates of deposit. The Company believes, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of its certificates of deposit will remain with it, either as certificates of deposit or as other deposit products. The Company has the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

 

CB Financial is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividends to its shareholders and for other corporate purposes. Its primary source of liquidity is dividend payments it receives from the Bank. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends to CB Financial is subject to regulatory limitations. At September 30, 2015, CB Financial (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $776,000.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, we monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. The marginal cost of new funding, however, whether from deposits or borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, will be carefully considered as we monitor our liquidity needs. Therefore, in order to minimize our cost of funds, we may consider additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the future.

 

Capital Management. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, each must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

33

 

 

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The following table presents the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios, as well as the minimum amounts and ratios required to be well capitalized as of the dates indicated.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

 

The Company believes that as of September 30, 2015, there was no material change in the quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk data as of December 31, 2014, as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

CB Financial’s management, including CB Financial’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of CB Financial’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the report, CB Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that CB Financial files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to CB Financial’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

There have been no changes in CB Financial’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, CB Financial’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On April 21, 2014, a class action complaint, captioned Sutton v. FedFirst Financial Corp., et al., was filed under Case No. 24C14002331, in the Circuit Court in Baltimore City, Maryland (the “Court”), against FedFirst Financial Corp., each of FedFirst Financial’s directors, and CB Financial. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the FedFirst Financial directors breached their fiduciary duties to FedFirst Financial and its stockholders by agreeing to sell to CB Financial without first taking steps to ensure that FedFirst Financial stockholders would obtain adequate, fair and maximum consideration under the circumstances, by agreeing to terms with CB Financial that benefit themselves and/or CB Financial without regard for the FedFirst Financial stockholders and by agreeing to terms with CB Financial that discourages other bidders. The plaintiff also alleged that CB Financial aided and abetted the FedFirst Financial directors’ breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint sought, among other things, an order declaring the Merger Agreement unenforceable and rescinding and invalidating the Merger Agreement, an order enjoining the defendants from consummating the merger, as well as attorneys’ and experts’ fees and certain other damages. On June 20, 2014, FedFirst Financial and the individual defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint. On July 29, 2014, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding an additional claim that the Form S-4 filed by CB Financial in connection with the merger contained material misstatements and omissions. On September 22, 2014, the Court dismissed all claims as to all defendants with prejudice, including claims against FedFirst Financial and its directors as well as claims against CB Financial. The plaintiff appealed the dismissal of the complaint. On October 29, 2015, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the case. The plaintiff has the ability to file a petition for certiorari to the highest court in the state, the Maryland Court of Appeals, who would then decide whether to hear the appeal. CB Financial continues to believe that the factual allegations in the complaint, as amended, are without merit.
