FCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes to the consolidated financial statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for FCB Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) previously filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
Nature of Operations
The Company is a national bank holding company with one wholly-owned national bank subsidiary, Florida Community Bank, N.A. (“Florida Community Bank” or the “Bank”), headquartered in Weston, Florida, offering a comprehensive range of traditional banking products and services to individual and corporate customers through 46 banking centers located in Florida at September 30, 2017.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s subsidiaries, which consist of a group of real estate holding companies. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company’s financial reporting and accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates subject to significant change include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of and accounting for acquired loans, the carrying value of OREO, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisition-related fair value computations, stock-based compensation and deferred taxes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU eliminates equity treatment for tax benefits or deficiencies that result from differences between the compensation cost recognized for GAAP purposes and the related tax deduction at settlement or expiration with such changes recognized in income tax expense and excludes excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies from the calculation of assumed proceeds for earnings per share purposes since such amounts are recognized in the income statement. In addition, this ASU simplifies the statements of cash flows by eliminating the bifurcation of excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities. The Company recognized approximately $2.1 million and $18.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, of tax benefit in the consolidated statements of income as a result of the adoption of this guidance that previously would have been recorded in additional paid-in capital. The requirement to recognize excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement was applied prospectively. This ASU became effective for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

7

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments” which clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this ASU is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-stop decision sequence. This ASU became effective for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting” which eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments in this ASU require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. This ASU became effective for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”. This update requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is intended to incorporate into GAAP a requirement that management perform a going concern evaluation similar to the auditor’s evaluation required by standards issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). This ASU became effective for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification. Under ASU No. 2014-09, revenue should be recognized 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 applying the guidance, an entity should 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 delaying the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Because this guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans or securities, the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the components of income most closely associated with financial instruments, including securities gains/losses and interest income. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on components of noninterest income. Although management has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adoption of this ASU on noninterest income, management does not expect the amount or timing of the recognition of such revenue to be materially impacted and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not plan to early adopt this guidance and has not yet identified which transition method will be applied upon adoption.


8

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." The amendments in this ASU modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including any interim periods within that reporting period where goodwill impairment tests are performed. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, "Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets." The FASB is issuing this ASU to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments in this ASU will require all entities to account for the derecognition of a business or nonprofit activity in accordance with Topic 810. The amendments also eliminate several accounting differences between transactions involving assets and transactions involving businesses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Public entities may apply the guidance earlier but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, "Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. 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 ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." This ASU provides clarity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, specifically relating to a modification of a share-based payment award. Entities should treat changes as modifications unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the modified awards are unchanged from the conditions immediately before the change. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." This ASU improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

For purposes of the maturity table, U.S Government agencies and sponsored enterprises obligations, agency mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, the principal of which are repaid periodically, are presented as a single amount. The expected lives of these securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay the underlying loans with or without prepayment penalties.

At September 30, 2017, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 371 securities, of which 122 securities were in an unrealized loss position. A total of 78 were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized losses for these securities resulted primarily from changes in interest rates and spreads.
The Company monitors its investment securities for other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI"). Impairment is evaluated on an individual security basis considering numerous factors, and their relative significance. The Company has evaluated the nature of unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio to determine if OTTI exists. The unrealized losses relate to changes in market interest rates and market conditions that do not represent credit-related impairments. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Management has completed an assessment of each security in an unrealized loss position for credit impairment and has determined that no individual security was other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017. The following describes the basis under which the Company has evaluated OTTI:

11

U.S. Government Agencies and Sponsored Enterprises Obligations and Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”):
The unrealized losses associated with U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises obligations and agency MBS are primarily driven by changes in interest rates. These securities have either an explicit or implicit U.S. government guarantee.
Asset-Backed Securities and Corporate Bonds & Other Debt Securities:
Securities were generally underwritten in accordance with the Company’s investment standards prior to the decision to purchase, without relying on a bond issuer’s guarantee in making the investment decision. These investments are investment grade and will continue to be monitored as part of the Company’s ongoing impairment analysis, but are expected to perform in accordance with their terms.
Preferred Stock and Other Equity Securities:
The unrealized losses associated with preferred stock and other equity securities in large U.S. financial institutions are primarily driven by changes in interest rates and spreads. These securities were generally underwritten in accordance with the Company’s investment standards prior to the decision to purchase.
Gross realized gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are shown below. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

NOTE 4. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company’s accounting method for loans and the corresponding allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) differs depending on whether the loans are New or Acquired. The Company assesses and monitors credit risk and portfolio performance using distinct methodologies for Acquired loans, both ASC 310-30 Loans and Non-ASC 310-30 Loans, and New loans. Within each of these portfolios, the Company further disaggregates the portfolios into the following segments: Commercial real estate, Owner-occupied commercial real estate, 1-4 single family residential, Construction, land and development, Home equity loans and lines of credit, Commercial and industrial and Consumer. The ALL reflects management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in each of the segments. In response to Hurricane Irma, the Company recorded an unallocated provision expense of $1.5 million to reflect management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio related specifically to the storm.
The following tables present information related to the ALL for the periods presented:
