Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Form 10-Q

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: Civista Bancshares, Inc. (CBI) is an Ohio corporation and a registered bank holding company. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CBI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Civista Bank (Civista), First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc., Water Street Properties, Inc. (Water St.) and FC Refund Solutions, Inc. (FCRS). FCRS was formed to facilitate payment of individual state and federal income tax refunds. First Citizens Capital LLC (FCC) is wholly-owned by Civista and holds inter-company debt. The operations of FCC are located in Wilmington, Delaware. First Citizens Investments, Inc. (FCI) is wholly-owned by Civista and holds and manages its securities portfolio. The operations of FCI are located in Wilmington, Delaware. The above companies together are referred to as the “Company.” Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017 and its results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have been made. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions of Form 10-Q, and therefore certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the notes to the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s 2016 annual report. The Company has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

The Company provides financial services through its offices in the Ohio counties of Erie, Crawford, Champaign, Franklin, Logan, Madison, Summit, Huron, Ottawa, Richland, Montgomery and Cuyahoga. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. The bank has two concentrations, one is to Lessors of Non-Residential Buildings and Dwellings totaling $265,921, or 24.1% of total loans, as of June 30, 2017 and the other is to Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings totaling $147,812, or 13.4% of total loans, as of June 30, 2017. These segments of the portfolio are stable and have been conservatively underwritten, monitored and managed by experienced commercial bankers. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate market and general economic conditions in the area. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include Federal Funds sold and deposit accounts in other financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits.

Form 10-Q

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. was formed to allow the Company to participate in commission revenue generated through its third party insurance agreement. Insurance commission revenue was less than 1.0% of total revenue through June 30, 2017. Revenue from Water St. was less than 1.0% of total revenue through June 30, 2017. Management considers the Company to operate primarily in one reportable segment, banking.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, impairment of goodwill, fair values of financial instruments, deferred taxes and pension obligations are particularly subject to change.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Business Combinations: At the date of acquisition the Company records the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their estimated fair value. The results of operations for acquired companies are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning at the acquisition date. Expenses arising from acquisition activities are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period incurred.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to facilitate the risk management strategies of a small number of commercial banking customers. All derivatives are accounted for in accordance with ASC-815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these agreements by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly rated third party financial institutions. The swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes because the Company does not currently intend to execute a setoff with its’ counterparties. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of marketable securities, is posted by the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds.

Effect of Newly Issued but Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities, we do not expect the new standard, or any of the amendments, to result in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Company’s financial instruments are not within the scope of Topic 606. However, we do expect that the standard will result in new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires 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; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (g) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (h) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other

deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard in this Update requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which: (a) the lease term is 12 months or less, and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact to the financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1% increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of ASU 2016-13 is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities while the cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) (“ASU 2016-17”), which amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the reporting entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and, therefore, consolidates the VIE. A reporting entity has an indirect interest in a VIE if it has a direct interest in a related party that, in turn, has a direct interest in the VIE. Under the amendments, a single decision maker is not required to consider indirect interests held through related parties that are under common control with the single decision maker to be the equivalent of direct interests in their entirety. Instead, a single decision maker is required to include those interests on a proportionate basis consistent with indirect interests held through other related parties. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”). This Update, among others things, clarifies that guarantee fees within the scope of Topic 460, Guarantees, (other than product or service warranties) are not within the scope of Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the new revenue recognition guidance. For public entities with a calendar year-end, the new guidance is effective in the quarter and year beginning January 1, 2018. For all other entities with a calendar year-end, the new guidance is effective in the year ending December 31, 2019, and interim periods in 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715). The amendments in this Update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9 are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which affects any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This Update amends the definition of modification by qualifying that modification accounting does not apply to changes to outstanding share-based payment awards that do not affect the total fair value, vesting requirements, or equity/liability classification of the awards. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for

reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down-round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down-round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down-round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down- round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Accounting Standards Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part I of this Update should be applied either retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective or retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

At June 30, 2017, there were fifty-six securities in the portfolio with unrealized losses mainly due to higher market rates when compared to the time of purchase. Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ securities are of high credit quality, management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to market yields increasing across the municipal sector. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or reset date. The Company does not intend to sell until recovery and does not believe selling will be required before recovery.

Included in total loans above are deferred loan fees of $4 at June 30, 2017 and $94 at December 31, 2016.

(5) Allowance for Loan Losses

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loss migration rates for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating loan loss allowance allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve. The following economic factors are analyzed:

•

Changes in lending policies and procedures

•

Changes in experience and depth of lending and management staff

•

Changes in quality of credit review system

•

Changes in nature and volume of the loan portfolio

•

Changes in past due, classified and nonaccrual loans and TDRs

•

Changes in economic and business conditions

•

Changes in competition or legal and regulatory requirements

•

Changes in concentrations within the loan portfolio

•

Changes in the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $13,047 adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, at June 30, 2017. The following tables present, by portfolio segment, the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Allowance for loan losses:

For the six months ended June 30, 2017


June 30, 2017	Beginning balance		Charge- offs			Recoveries		Provision			Ending Balance
Commercial & Agriculture	$	2,018	$	(1	)	$	83	$	(492	)	$	1,608
Commercial Real Estate:

Consumer and Other		314		(81	)		14		77			324
Unallocated		245		—			—		538			783

Total	$	13,305	$	(488	)	$	230	$	—		$	13,047

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the allowance for Commercial & Agriculture loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves as a result of lower loss rates, offset by an increase in the specific reserves required for this type. The result of these changes was represented as a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves as a result of lower loss rates. The allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans increased due to an increase in general reserves required for this type as a result of higher loan balances, offset by lower loss rates. The allowance for Residential Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of a decrease in loss rates, represented by a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Real Estate Construction loans increased due to higher outstanding loan balances for this type of loan and recoveries. The allowance for Farm Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of lower outstanding loan balances. The result of these changes was represented as a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Consumer and Other loans was increased by an increase in general reserves required for this type as a result of higher loss rates. Management feels that the unallocated amount is appropriate and within the relevant range for the allowance that is reflective of the risk in the portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the increase in the allowance for Commercial & Agriculture loans was due to an increase in general reserves as a result of higher balances and higher loss rates in criticized loans. The result was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans was reduced not only by a decrease in specific reserves required for this type, but also by decreases in past due, classified and non-accrual loans for this type. The result of these changes was represented as a decrease in the provision. The increase in the allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans was the result of an increase in general reserves required as a result of higher balances. Offsetting this was a payoff on a previously charged down loan that was received during the period resulting in a recovery of approximately $1,303. The net result was represented as a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Residential Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of a decrease in loss rates, represented by a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Farm Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of lower outstanding loan balances and a decrease in loss rates. The result of these changes was represented as a decrease in the provision. Management feels that the unallocated amount is appropriate and within the relevant range for the allowance that is reflective of the risk in the portfolio.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the increase in the allowance for Commercial & Agriculture loans was due to an increase in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. The result was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves as a result of lower loss rates. The result was represented as a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans increased due to an increase in general reserves required for this type as a result of higher loan balances, offset by lower loss rates. The allowance for Residential Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of a decrease in loss rates, represented by a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Real Estate Construction loans increased due to higher outstanding loan balances for this type of loan and recoveries. The allowance for Farm Real Estate loans increased due to higher outstanding loan balances for this type of loan. Management feels that the unallocated amount is appropriate and within the relevant range for the allowance that is reflective of the risk in the portfolio.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the increase in the allowance for Commercial & Agriculture loans was due to an increase in general reserves as a result of higher loss rates in criticized loans. The result was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans increased as the result of an increase in general reserves required as a result of higher balances. Offsetting this was a payoff on a previously charged down loan that was received during the period resulting in a recovery of approximately $1,303. The net result was represented as a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Residential Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of a decrease in loss rates, represented by a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Real Estate Construction loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as result of decreased loan balances, represented by a decrease in the provision. The allowance for Farm Real Estate loans was reduced by a decrease in general reserves required for this type as a result of lower outstanding loan balances, represented as a decrease in the provision. Management feels that the unallocated amount is appropriate and within the relevant range for the allowance that is reflective of the risk in the portfolio.

The following tables present credit exposures by internally assigned grades for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The risk rating analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

•

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

•

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

•

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that Civista will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

•

Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

•

Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

Generally, Residential Real Estate, Real Estate Construction and Consumer and Other loans are not risk-graded, except when collateral is used for a business purpose.

The following tables present performing and nonperforming loans based solely on payment activity for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 that have not been assigned an internal risk grade. The types of loans presented here are not assigned a risk grade unless there is evidence of a problem. Payment activity is reviewed by management on a monthly basis to evaluate performance. Loans are considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due or if management thinks that we may not collect all of our principal and interest. Nonperforming loans also include certain loans that have been modified in Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions due to economic status. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

Nonaccrual Loans: Loans are considered for nonaccrual status upon reaching 90 days delinquency, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, although the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the unpaid principal balance. A loan may be returned to accruing status only if one of three conditions are met: the loan is well-secured and none of the principal and interest has been past due for a minimum of 90 days; the loan is a TDR and has made a minimum of six months payments; or the principal and interest payments are reasonably assured and a sustained period of performance has occurred, generally six months.

Modifications: A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when the Company for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Commercial Real Estate loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. Real Estate loans modified in a TDR were primarily comprised of interest rate reductions where monthly payments were lowered to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs.

Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates. As of June 30, 2017, TDRs accounted for $421 of the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2016, TDRs accounted for $278 of the allowance for loan losses.

Recidivism, or the borrower defaulting on its obligation pursuant to a modified loan, results in the loan once again becoming a non-accrual loan. Recidivism occurs at a notably higher rate than do defaults on new origination loans, so modified loans present a higher risk of loss than do new origination loans.

During both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, there were no defaults on loans that were modified and considered TDRs during the respective twelve previous months.

Impaired Loans: Larger (greater than $350) Commercial & Agricultural and Commercial Real Estate loan relationships, all TDRs and Residential Real Estate and Consumer loans that are part of a larger relationship are tested for impairment on a quarterly basis. These loans are analyzed to determine if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired financing receivables, excluding PCI loans, with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

(9) Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect, if any, of additional potential common shares issuable under the equity incentive plan, computed using the treasury stock method, and the impact of the Company’s convertible preferred stock using the “if converted” method.

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 there were 2,431,349 dilutive shares related to the Company’s convertible preferred stock. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 there were 2,469,465 dilutive shares related to the Company’s convertible preferred stock. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 there were 3,074,402 dilutive shares related to the Company’s convertible preferred stock. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 there were 3,076,323 dilutive shares related to the Company’s convertible preferred stock. Under the “if converted” method, all convertible preferred shares are assumed to be converted into common shares at the corresponding conversion rate. These additional shares are then added to the common shares outstanding to calculate diluted earnings per share.

(10) Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customers’ financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as the conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk of credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of commitment. The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows for June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:


	Contract Amount
	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
Commitment to extend credit:
Lines of credit and construction loans	$	8,615	$	275,584	$	6,905	$	202,923
Overdraft protection		6		23,475		5		29,075
Letters of credit		624		317		600		349

	$	9,245	$	299,376	$	7,510	$	232,347

Commitments to make loans are generally made for a period of one year or less. Fixed rate loan commitments included in the table above had interest rates ranging from 3.25% to 8.00% at June 30, 2017 and from 3.25% to 8.75% at December 31, 2016. Maturities extend up to 30 years.

Civista is required to maintain certain reserve balances on hand in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board requirements. The average reserve balance maintained in accordance with such requirements was $10,471 on June 30, 2017 and $2,887 on December 31, 2016.

(11) Pension Information

The Company sponsors a pension plan which is a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. Annual payments, subject to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, are made to a pension trust fund. In 2006, the Company amended the pension plan to provide that no employee could be added as a participant to the pension plan after December 31, 2006. In 2014, the Company amended the pension plan again to provide that no additional benefits would accrue beyond April 30, 2014.

Net periodic pension benefit was as follows:


	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Service cost	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—

Other components		426			83			520			166

Net periodic pension benefit	$	314		$	(21	)	$	297		$	(42	)

The total amount of pension contributions expected to be paid by the Company in 2017 is $500. The Company contributed $500 in 2016.

(12) Equity Incentive Plan

At the Company’s 2014 annual meeting, the shareholders adopted the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan (“2014 Incentive Plan”). The 2014 Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant options, stock awards, stock units and other awards for up to 375,000 common shares of the Company. There were 292,576 shares available for future grants under this plan at June 30, 2017.

During each of the last three years, the Board of Directors has awarded restricted common shares to senior officers of the Company. The restricted shares vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant date. The product of the number of restricted shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common shares determines the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

On January 4, 2016, directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 2,730 common shares were issued to Civista directors as payment of their retainer for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2016 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $32.

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

On May 17, 2016, directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 12,285 common shares were issued to Civista directors as payment of their retainer for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2017 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $130.

Finally, on May 16, 2017, directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 6,804 common shares were issued to Civista directors as payment of their retainer for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2018 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $144.

No options had been granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Company classifies share-based compensation for employees with “Salaries, wages and benefits” in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to report: (1) the expense associated with the grants as an adjustment to operating cash flows, and (2) any benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense as an operating cash flow.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s restricted shares and changes therein for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30, 2017				June 30, 2017

At June 30, 2017, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized is $416, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining life of the grants of 3.08 years.

(13) Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are identifiable on the measurement date; Level 2: Significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.

Debt securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Equity securities: The Company’s equity securities are not actively traded in an open market. The fair values of these equity securities available for sale is determined by using market data inputs for similar securities that are observable (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of the swap asset/liability: The fair value of the swap asset and liability is based on an external derivative model using data inputs as of the valuation date and classified Level 2. The changes in fair value of these assets/liabilities had no impact on net income or comprehensive income.

Impaired loans: The Company has measured impairment on impaired loans generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age

Page 45

Civista Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Form 10-Q

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. Additionally, management makes estimates about expected costs to sell the property which are also included in the net realizable value. If the fair value of the collateral dependent loan is less than the carrying amount of the loan, a specific reserve for the loan is made in the allowance for loan losses or a charge-off is taken to reduce the loan to the fair value of the collateral (less estimated selling costs) and the loan is included as a Level 3 measurement.

Other real estate owned: OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is measured at the date of foreclosure. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, no charge-off or adjustment is necessary, the loan is not considered to be carried at fair value, and is therefore not included in the table below. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the carrying amount of the loan, management will charge the loan down to its estimated realizable value. Management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. In these cases, the properties are categorized in the below table as Level 3 measurements since these adjustments are considered to be unobservable inputs. Income and expenses from operations are included in other operating expenses. Further declines in the fair value of the collateral subsequent to foreclosure are included in net gain on sale of other real estate owned.

Cash and due from financial institutions: The carrying amounts for cash and due from financial institutions approximate fair value because they have original maturities of less than 90 days and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Securities available for sale: The fair value of securities are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For equity securities, management uses market information related to the value of similar institutions to determine the fair value (Level 2 inputs).

Other securities: The carrying value of regulatory stock approximates fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

Loans, held-for-sale: Loans held for sale are priced individually at market rates on the day that the loan is locked for commitment to an investor. Because the holding period of such loans is typically short, the carrying value generally approximates the fair value at the time the commitment is received. All loans in

the held-for-sale account conform to Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines, with specific intent of the loan being purchased by an investor at the predetermined rate structure.

Loans, net of allowance for loan losses: Fair values for loans, other than impaired, are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing loans has been estimated by discounting expected future cash flows of the underlying portfolios. The discount rates used in these calculations are generally derived from the treasury yield curve and are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate inherent in the loan. The estimated maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification. Changes in these significant unobservable inputs used in discounted cash flow analysis, such as the discount rate or prepayment speeds, could lead to changes in the underlying fair value.

Bank owned life insurance: The carrying value of bank owned life insurance approximates the fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

Accrued interest receivable and payable and securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value because they are generally received or paid in 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand.

The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The deposits’ fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market, commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances: Rates available to the Company for borrowed funds with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of borrowed funds.

Subordinated debentures: The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows of the underlying debt agreements. The discount rate is estimated using the current rate for the borrowing from the FHLB with the most similar terms.

Fair value swap asset and liability: The fair value of the swap asset and liability is based on an external derivative model using data inputs as of the valuation date.

(14) Derivative Hedging Instruments

To accommodate customer need and to support the Company’s asset/liability positioning, on occasion we enter into interest rate swaps with a customer and a bank counterparty. The Company enters into a floating rate loan and a fixed rate swap with our customer. Simultaneously, the Company enters into an offsetting fixed rate swap with a bank counterparty. In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on the same notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay a bank counterparty the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These transactions allow the Company’s customer to effectively convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans. Since the Company acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swap positions and the impact of a 1 basis point change in interest rates as of June 30, 2017.

Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company at June 30, 2017 were $1,462,015 compared to $1,377,263 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $84,752, or 6.2%. The increase in total assets was mainly attributable to increases in securities available for sale, loans held for sale and loans. Total liabilities at June 30, 2017 were $1,283,172 compared to $1,239,647 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $43,525, or 3.5%. The increase in total liabilities was mainly attributable to increases in total deposits, FHLB overnight advances and accrued interest, taxes and other expenses offset by a decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:


	June 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Commercial & Agriculture	$	143,708		$	135,462
Commercial Real Estate—Owner Occupied		172,262			161,364
Commercial Real Estate—Non-Owner Occupied		405,876			395,931
Residential Real Estate		258,580			247,308
Real Estate Construction		63,538			56,293
Farm Real Estate		39,069			41,170
Consumer and Other		17,784			17,978

Total loans		1,100,817			1,055,506
Allowance for loan losses		(13,047	)		(13,305	)

Net loans	$	1,087,770		$	1,042,201

Net loans have increased $45,569 or 4.4% since December 31, 2016. The Commercial & Agriculture, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied, Residential Real Estate and Real Estate Construction loan portfolios increased $8,246, $10,898, $9,945, $11,272 and $7,245, respectively, since December 31, 2016, while the Farm Real Estate and Consumer and Other loan portfolios decreased $2,101 and $194, respectively, since December 31, 2016.

Loans held for sale have increased $2,460 or 108.5% since December 31, 2016, due to an increase in originations. At June 30, 2017, the net loan to deposit ratio was 93.4% compared to 93.0% at December 31, 2016.

During the first six months of 2017, there were no provisions made to the allowance for loan losses from earnings. During the first six months of 2016, the Company received a payoff on a nonperforming loan. This particular loan had been analyzed previously and had been charged down based on a deterioration of real estate collateral values during the recent recession. As a result of the payoff of the loan, the Company recovered the charged down amount of approximately $1,303. The result of the transaction was a credit of $1,300 from the allowance for loan losses during the six months of operations

in 2016. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2017 totaled $258, compared to a net recovery $1,486 in the first six months of 2016. For the first six months of 2017, the Company charged off a total of thirty-three loans. Fourteen Real Estate Mortgage loans totaling $196, one Commercial and Agriculture loan totaling $1, three Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans totaling $210 and fifteen Consumer and Other loans totaling $81 were charged off in the first six months of the year. In addition, during the first six months of 2017, the Company had recoveries on previously charged-off Commercial and Agriculture loans of $83, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans of $18, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans of $9, Real Estate Mortgage loans of $87, Real Estate Construction loans of $19 and Consumer and Other loans of $14. For each loan category, as well as in total, the percentage of net charge-offs to loans was less than one percent. Nonperforming loans decreased by $155 since December 31, 2016, which was due to a decrease in loans on nonaccrual status of $190 and an increase in loans past due 90 days and accruing of $35. Each of these factors was considered by management as part of the examination of both the level and mix of the allowance by loan type as well as the overall level of the allowance.

Management specifically evaluates loans that are impaired for estimates of loss. To evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to cover probable losses in the portfolio, management considers specific reserve allocations for identified portfolio loans, reserves for delinquencies and historical reserve allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve.

Management analyzes each impaired Commercial and Commercial Real Estate loan relationship with a balance of $350 or larger, on an individual basis and designates a loan as impaired when it is in nonaccrual status or when an analysis of the borrower’s operating results and financial condition indicate that underlying cash flows are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. In addition, loans held for sale are excluded from consideration as impaired. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.19% at June 30, 2017 and 1.26% at December 31, 2016.

The available for sale security portfolio increased by $34,333, from $195,864 at December 31, 2016 to $230,197 at June 30, 2017. The increase in the available for sale security portfolio is due to the investment of the net proceeds from the public offering completed by the Company on February 24, 2017. Management continually evaluates our securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability and the level of interest rate risk to which the Company is exposed. These evaluations may cause the Company to change the level of funds it deploys into investment securities and change the composition of its investment securities portfolio. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all pledging requirements.

Premises and equipment, net, have decreased $143 from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. The decrease is the result of new purchases of $535, offset by disposals, net of gains of $72, depreciation of $603 and the transfer of $3 of assets to premises and equipment held for sale.

Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) increased $287 from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. The difference is the result of increases in the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies.

Total deposits as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:


	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Noninterest-bearing demand	$	391,619	$	345,588
Interest-bearing demand		195,313		183,759
Savings and money market		388,184		384,330
Time deposits		189,772		207,426

Total Deposits	$	1,164,888	$	1,121,103

Total deposits at June 30, 2017 increased $43,785 from year-end 2016. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $46,031 from year-end 2016, while interest-bearing deposits, including savings and time deposits, decreased $2,246 from December 31, 2016. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to an increase in commercial accounts related to the Company’s participation in a tax refund processing program, which added noninterest-bearing deposits of $43,147. This increase is temporary as transactions are processed and is expected to return to levels more consistent with December 31, 2016 over the next quarter. The interest-bearing deposit decrease was mainly due to decreases in time deposits. The year-to-date average balance of total deposits increased $6,222 compared to the average balance of the same period in 2016 due to increases in cash related to the tax refund processing program and savings and money market accounts. The increase in average balance is due to increases of $19,522 in demand deposit accounts, $11,748 in money market accounts, $8,819 in NOW accounts and $10,169 in statement saving accounts, offset by decreases of $19,439 in time certificates, $6,005 in CDARS deposits and $11,247 in interest-bearing public funds.

FHLB advances increased $14,800 from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. The increase is due to an increase in overnight funds of $17,300. In addition, on January 11, 2017, an FHLB advance in the amount of $2,500 matured. This advance had terms of one hundred and twenty months with a fixed rate of 4.25%. The advance was not replaced. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which tend to fluctuate, have decreased $16,195 from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

Accrued interest, taxes and other expenses increased $1,135 from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. The increase is primarily the result of a security purchase that will settle in July.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017 was $178,843, or 12.2% of total assets, compared to $137,616, or 10.0% of total assets, at December 31, 2016. The increase in the ratio of equity to total assets was the result of increases in total assets as well as shareholders’ equity. The increase in shareholders’ equity

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

resulted primarily from the completion of the Company’s public offering of its common stock on February 24, 2017, which resulted in net proceeds of $32,821. Shareholders’ equity was also positively impacted by net income of $8,231, a decrease in the Company’s pension liability, net of tax, of $343, an increase in the fair value of securities available for sale, net of tax, of $1,258 and offset by dividends on preferred stock and common stock of $627 and $1,116, respectively. Total outstanding common shares at June 30, 2017 were 10,169,181. Total outstanding common shares at December 31, 2016 were 8,343,509. The increase in common shares outstanding is the result of a public offering of 1,610,000 shares completed on February 24, 2017, the conversion of 1,494 shares of the Company’s previously issued preferred shares into 190,970 common shares and the grant of 24,702 restricted common shares to certain officers under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

The Company had net income of $8,231 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,675 from net income of $9,906 for the same six months of 2016. Basic earnings per common share were $0.79 for the period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $1.16 for the same period in 2016. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.68 for the period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $0.91 for the same period in 2016. The primary reasons for the changes in net income are explained below.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $26,261, an increase of $1,086 from $25,175 in the same six months of 2016. Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $27,920, an increase of $1,129 from $26,791 in the same six months of 2016. Average earning assets increased 3.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Average loans and non-taxable securities for the first six months of 2016 increased 7.2% and 11.3%, respectively, compared to the first six months of last year. The increases were offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased mainly due to our tax refund processing program. The timing of cash inflows and outflows leads to large, but temporary, fluctuations in cash on deposit. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 17 basis points for the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of last year. The yield on earning assets increased 4 basis points for the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of last year. Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,659, an increase of $43 from $1,616 in the same six months of 2016. Interest expense on time deposits decreased $108 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Average time deposits for the first six months of 2017 decreased 14.7% compared to the first six months of 2016. Interest expense on demand and savings accounts, FHLB borrowings and trust preferred securities increased $26, $57 and $69, respectively, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The interest rate paid on FHLB borrowings during the first six months of 2017 decreased 20 basis points as compared to the same period in 2016, while the average balance increased 49.4%. The interest rate paid on trust preferred securities during the first six months of 2017 increased 48 basis points as compared to the same period in 2016. The Company’s net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.86% compared to 3.81% for the period ended June 30, 2016.

The Company provides for loan losses through regular provisions to the allowance for loan losses. No provision for loan losses was provided during the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the first six months of 2016, the Company received a payoff on a nonperforming loan. This particular loan had been analyzed previously and had been charged down based on a deterioration of real estate collateral values during the recent recession. As a result of the payoff of the loan, the Company recovered the charged-down amount of approximately $1,303. The result of the transaction was a reversal of $1,300 from the allowance for loan losses during the six months of operations in 2016.

Wealth management fee income increased $145 or 11.2% during the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is mainly related to increases in assets under management and market conditions compared to the same period in 2016.

In addition, incentive based costs, higher employee insurance costs and pension costs increased, as compared to the same period of 2016.

Equipment expense increased $83, or 12.5% from the same period of 2016, due to higher repair and maintenance expense.

FDIC assessments were $298, down $133 or 30.9% compared to the same period in 2016. The year-over-year decrease is the result of a new lower assessment rate schedule that became effective in 2016.

State franchise taxes were $512, up $54 or 11.8% compared to the same period in 2016. The year-over-year increase was attributable to an increase in equity capital. The financial institutions tax is based on equity capital.

ATM costs were $468, up $272 or 138.8% compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily due to vendor credits that expired in the second quarter of 2016 and expenses incurred with the Company’s debit card program conversion.

The effective tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 were 28.1% and 28.5%, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

The Company had net income of $3,596 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1,585 from net income of $5,181 for the same three months of 2016. Basic earnings per common share were $0.32 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $0.61 for the same period in 2016. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.29 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $0.47 for the same period in 2016. The primary reasons for the changes in net income are explained below.

Average loans, taxable securities and non-taxable securities for the second quarter of 2016 increased 7.6%, 7.9% and 16.3%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of last year. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased mainly due to our tax refund processing program. The timing of cash inflows and outflows leads to large, but temporary, fluctuations in cash on deposit. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 26 basis points for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of last year. The yield on earning assets decreased 8 basis points for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of last year.

Liquidity

The Company maintains a conservative liquidity position. All securities are classified as available for sale. Securities, with maturities of one year or less, totaled $4,801, or 2.1% of the total security portfolio at June 30, 2017. The available for sale portfolio helps to provide the Company with the ability to meet its funding needs. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) contained in the consolidated financial statements detail the Company’s cash flows from operating activities resulting from net earnings.

As reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited), our cash flows are classified for financial reporting purposes as operating, investing or financing cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,223 and $7,866 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts differ from net income due to a variety of cash receipts and disbursements that did not affect net income for the respective periods. Net cash used for investing activities was $78,871 and $31,848 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, principally reflecting our loan and investment security activities. Cash provided by deposits, borrowings and net proceeds from our common equity offering comprised most of our financing activities, which resulted in net cash provided of $73,468 and $30,193 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Future loan demand of Civista may be funded by increases in deposit accounts, proceeds from payments on existing loans, the maturity of securities, and the sale of securities classified as available for sale. Additional sources of funds may also come from borrowing in the Federal Funds market and/or borrowing from the FHLB. Through its correspondent banks, Civista maintains federal funds borrowing lines totaling $42,500. As of June 30, 2017, Civista had total credit availability with the FHLB of $388,379 with standby letters of credit totaling $19,600 and a remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $305,479. In addition, Civista Bancshares, Inc. maintains a credit line totaling $7,500.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest-rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure.

Interest-rate risk is the exposure of a banking organization’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value. However, excessive levels of interest-rate risk can pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest-rate risk at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest-rate risk and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the interest-rate risk management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest-rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and, where appropriate, asset quality.

The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, adopted a Joint Agency Policy Statement on interest-rate risk, effective June 26, 1996. The policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices for managing interest-rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of interest-rate risk management at supervised institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing interest-rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active board of director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive risk-management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls interest-rate risk.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will have either lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing-rate environment.

Several techniques may be used by an institution to minimize interest-rate risk. One approach used by the Company is to periodically analyze its assets and liabilities and make future financing and investment decisions based on payment streams, interest rates, contractual maturities, and estimated sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. Such activities fall under the broad definition of asset/liability management. The Company’s primary asset/liability management technique is the measurement of the Company’s asset/liability gap, that is, the difference between the cash flow amounts of interest sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year, or longer period, the institution is in an asset sensitive gap position. In this situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or decrease if market interest rates fell. If, alternatively, more liabilities than assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability sensitive position. Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when rates fell. Also, these examples assume that interest rate changes for assets and liabilities are of the same magnitude, whereas actual interest rate changes generally differ in magnitude for assets and liabilities.

Several ways an institution can manage interest-rate risk include selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; matching repricing periods for new assets and liabilities, for example, by shortening terms of new loans or securities; and hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest-rate risk. Interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures, and other such derivative financial instruments often are used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they require management expertise to be effective. The Company has not purchased derivative financial instruments in the past and does not currently intend to purchase such instruments in the near future. Financial institutions are also subject to prepayment risk in falling rate environments. For example, mortgage loans and other financial assets may be prepaid by a debtor so that the debtor may refinance its obligations at new, lower rates. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce the Company’s interest income and overall asset yields. A large portion of an institution’s liabilities may be short-term or due on demand, while most of its assets may be invested in long-term loans or securities. Accordingly, the Company seeks to have in place sources of cash to meet short-term demands. These funds can be obtained by increasing deposits, borrowing, or selling assets. FHLB advances and wholesale borrowings may also be used as important sources of liquidity for the Company.

The following table provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that were sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, based on certain prepayment and account decay assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The table shows the changes in the Company’s net portfolio value (in amount and percent) that would result from hypothetical interest rate increases of 200 basis points and 100 basis points and an interest rate decrease of 100 basis points at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company had derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017. The changes in fair value of the assets and liabilities of the underlying contracts offset each other. Expected maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were calculated based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding. The Company’s borrowings were tabulated by contractual maturity dates and without regard to any conversion or repricing dates.


Net Portfolio Value
	June 30, 2017								December 31, 2016
Change in Rates	Dollar Amount		Dollar Change			Percent Change			Dollar Amount		Dollar Change			Percent Change
+200bp		256,243		35,560			16	%		229,366		31,559			16	%
+100bp		244,331		23,648			11	%		219,008		21,201			11	%
Base		220,683		—			—			197,807		—			—
-100bp		219,048		(1,635	)		-1	%		186,624		(11,183	)		-6	%

The change in net portfolio value from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, can be attributed to two factors. While the yield curve has flattened from the end of the year, both the volume and mix of assets and funding sources has changed. Cash, as it relates to the tax refund processing program, has decreased while the volume of loans and securities have both increased. This change in the mix of assets tends to increase volatility. The funding volume and mix has shifted from borrowed money and CDs to deposits, which tends to increase volatility. The increased volume of loans and securities led to the increase in the base. Beyond the change in the base level of net portfolio value, projected movements in rates, up or down, would also lead to changes in market values. The change in the rates up scenarios for both the 100 and 200 basis point movements would lead to a faster decrease in the fair value of liabilities, compared to assets. Accordingly we would see an increase in the net portfolio value. However, a downward change in rates would lead to a decrease in the net portfolio value as the fair value of liabilities would increase more quickly than the fair value of assets.
