Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity, cash flows, and comprehensive income in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. Those adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Southwest”), and our consolidated subsidiaries, including Bank SNB, an Oklahoma state banking corporation (“Bank SNB”), our banking subsidiary, and the consolidated subsidiaries of Bank SNB. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, Subsequent Events, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued.

Total  $427,113   $1,620   $(2,515)  $426,218 

 

Residential mortgage-backed securities consist of agency securities underwritten and guaranteed by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and Federal National Mortgage Association. Other securities consist of corporate stock.

Securities with limited marketability, such as Federal Reserve Bank stock, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, and certain other investments, are carried at cost and included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Total investments carried at cost were $17.6 million at September 30, 2017 and $14.6 million at December 31, 2016. There are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the investments carried at cost.

 

A comparison of the amortized cost and approximate fair value of our investment securities by maturity date at September 30, 2017 follows:

 

   Available for Sale   Held to Maturity 
   Amortized   Fair   Amortized   Fair 
(Dollars in thousands)  Cost   Value   Cost   Value 
One year or less  $20,023   $19,966   $371   $370 
More than one year through five years   271,439    271,123    9,980    10,206 
More than five years through ten years   43,379    43,073    -    - 
More than ten years   35,143    35,322    -    - 
Total  $369,984   $369,484   $10,351   $10,576 

 

The foregoing analysis assumes that our residential mortgage-backed securities mature during the period in which they are estimated to be prepaid and are based on expected maturities. Expected maturities differ from contractual maturities because borrowers of the underlying mortgages may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. No other prepayment or repricing assumptions have been applied to our investment securities for this analysis.

 

Gain or loss on sale of investments is based upon the specific identification method. The table below shows the proceeds, gross realized gains and gross realized losses recognized on the investment portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. A portion of the proceeds from sales recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted from the sale of a private equity investment carried at cost and recorded in other assets. Proceeds from the sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 resulted from a slight restructuring of our investment portfolio.

 

   For the three months   For the nine months 
   ended September 30,   ended September 30, 
(Dollars in thousands)  2017   2016   2017   2016

We evaluate all securities on an individual basis for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

We have the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time we expect to receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2017, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is not likely that we will have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The declines in fair value were attributable to recent increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased or increases in spreads over market interest rates. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to credit quality. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2017, management believes the impairment of these investments is not deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

As required by law, available for sale investment securities are pledged to secure public and trust deposits, sweep agreements, and borrowings from the FHLB. Securities with an amortized cost of $207.7 million and $199.0 million were pledged to meet such requirements at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Any amount over-pledged can be released at any time.

NOTE 3: LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

 

We extend commercial and consumer credit primarily to customers in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Colorado. Our commercial lending operations are concentrated in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Dallas, San Antonio, Wichita, and other metropolitan markets in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Colorado. As a result, the collectability of our loan portfolio can be affected by changes in the economic conditions in those states and markets. Please see “Note 9: Operating Segments” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail regarding loans by market. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, substantially all of our loans were collateralized with real estate, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or other assets or were guaranteed by agencies of the United States government.

 

Our loan classifications were as follows:

 

(Dollars in thousands)  At September 30, 2017   At December 31, 2016 
Real estate mortgage:          
Commercial  $1,024,561   $882,071 
One-to-four family residential   252,794    199,123 
Real estate construction:          
Commercial   173,077    199,113 
One-to-four family residential   12,591    20,946 
Commercial   549,147    556,248 
Installment and consumer   18,379    19,631 
    2,030,549    1,877,132 
Less: Allowance for loan losses   (26,943)   (27,546)
Total loans, net   2,003,606    1,849,586 
Less: Loans held for sale (included above)   (5,658)   (4,386)
Net loans receivable  $1,997,948   $1,845,200 

 

Concentrations of Credit. At September 30, 2017, $692.7 million, or 34%, and $424.0 million, or 21%, of our loans consisted of loans to individuals and businesses in the real estate and healthcare industries, respectively. We do not have any other concentrations of loans to individuals or businesses involved in a single industry totaling 10% or more of total loans.

 

Loans Held for Sale. We had loans held for sale of $5.7 million and $4.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The loans currently classified as held for sale, primarily residential mortgage loans, are carried at the lower of cost or market value. A substantial portion of our one-to-four family residential loans and loan servicing rights are sold to one buyer. These mortgage loans are generally sold within a one-month period from loan closing at amounts determined by the investor commitment based upon the pricing of the loan. These loans are available for sale in the secondary market.

 

Loan Servicing. We earn fees for servicing real estate mortgages and other loans owned by others. The fees are generally calculated on the outstanding principal balance of the loans serviced and are recorded as noninterest income when earned. The unpaid principal balance of real estate mortgage loans serviced for others totaled $467.5 million and $460.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Loan servicing rights are capitalized based on estimated fair value at the point of origination. The servicing rights are amortized over the period of estimated net servicing income.

 

Acquired Loans. On October 9, 2015, we completed the acquisition of First Commercial Bancshares (“Bancshares”) by merging Bancshares with and into us (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, First Commercial Bank was merged with and into Bank SNB, with Bank SNB being the surviving bank. We evaluated $200.0 million of the loans purchased in conjunction with the merger in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and those loans were recorded with a $4.5 million discount. As a result, the fair value discount on these loans is being accreted into interest income over the weighted average life of the loans using a constant yield method. The remaining $7.8 million of loans evaluated were considered purchased credit impaired loans within the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and were recorded with a $3.3 million discount. These purchased credit impaired loans will recognize interest income through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows.

Changes in the carrying amounts and accretable yields for the ACS 310-30 loans that were acquired were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016:

Nonperforming / Past Due Loans. We identify past due loans based on contractual terms on a loan-by-loan basis and generally place loans, except for consumer loans, on nonaccrual when any portion of the principal or interest is ninety days past due and collateral is insufficient to discharge the debt in full. Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management’s opinion, collection is unlikely. Generally, past due consumer installment loans are not placed on nonaccrual but are charged-off when they are four months past due. Accrued interest is written off when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Subsequent interest income is recorded when cash receipts are received from the borrower and collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured.

 

Under generally accepted accounting principles and instructions to reports of condition and income of banking regulators, a nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status: (i) when none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid, repayment is expected, and there has been a sustained period (at least six months) of repayment performance; (ii) when the loan is well-secured, there is a sustained period of performance and repayment within a reasonable period is reasonably assured; or (iii) when the loan otherwise becomes well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans that have been restructured because of weakened financial positions of the borrowers also may be returned to accrual status if repayment is reasonably assured under the revised terms and there has been a sustained period of repayment performance.

 

Management strives to carefully monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become nonperforming. At any time, however, there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses to us that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial (including energy banking credits) and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the unexpected deterioration of one or a few such loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming assets and may lead to a material increase in charge-offs and the provision for loan losses in future periods.

The following table shows the recorded investment in loans on nonaccrual status:

During the first nine months of 2017, $0.2 million of interest income was received on nonaccruing loans. If interest on all nonaccrual loans had been accrued for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, additional interest income of $0.5 million would have been recorded.

Impaired Loans. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Each loan deemed to be impaired (loans on nonaccrual status and greater than $100,000, and all troubled debt restructurings) is evaluated on an individual basis using the discounted present value of expected cash flows based on the loan’s initial effective interest rate, the fair value of collateral, or the market value of the loan. Smaller balance and homogeneous loans, including mortgage and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment.

 

11 

 

 

Interest payments on impaired loans are applied to principal until collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, and, at that time, interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible.

 

Impaired loans as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are shown in the following table:

Troubled Debt Restructurings. Our loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and can include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired at the time of restructuring and are then further classified as nonperforming, potential problem, or performing restructured, as applicable. Loans modified in troubled debt restructurings may be returned to performing status after considering the borrowers’ sustained repayment for a reasonable period of at least six months.

 

When we modify loans in a troubled debt restructuring, an evaluation of any possible impairment is performed similar to the evaluation done with respect to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or use of the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If it is determined that the value of the modified 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), an impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

Troubled debt restructured loans outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

 

   At September 30, 2017   At December 31, 2016 
(Dollars in thousands)  Accruing   Nonaccrual   Accruing   Nonaccrual 
Commercial real estate  $534   $98   $1,118   $475

Commercial   -    7,186    45    3,323 
Total  $551   $7,284   $1,178   $3,844 

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no significant commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose loan terms had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

 

There were no loan modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017 nor for the three months ended September 30, 2016. There were three commercial loans modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and one commercial real estate loan and one commercial loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Loans modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are shown in the following table

 

   For the nine months ended September 30, 
   2017   2016

Commercial real estate   -   $-    1   $164 
Commercial   3    4,114    1    25 
Total   3   $4,114    2   $189 

 

The modifications of loans identified as troubled debt restructurings primarily related to payment reductions, payment extensions, and/or reductions in the interest rate. The financial impact of troubled debt restructurings is not significant.

 

There were no loans modified as a troubled debt restructuring that subsequently defaulted during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016. Default, for this purpose, is deemed to occur when a loan is 90 days or more past due or transferred to nonaccrual and is within twelve months of restructuring.

 

Credit Quality Indicators. To assess the credit quality of loans, we categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debts such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. We use the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Special mention – Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for these loans or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans are considered potential problem or nonperforming loans depending on the accrual status of the loans.

 

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. These loans are considered nonperforming.

 

13 

 

 

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based on the most recent analysis performed as of those dates, the risk category of loans by class was as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through the provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan amounts which are determined to be uncollectible are charged against this allowance, and recoveries, if any, are added to the allowance. The appropriate amount of the allowance is based on periodic review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the loan loss provision for a period is based solely upon the amount needed to cause the allowance to reach the level deemed appropriate after the effects of net charge-offs for the period.

 

Management believes the level of the allowance is appropriate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is determined in accordance with regulatory guidelines and generally accepted accounting principles and is comprised of two primary components, specific and general. There is no one factor, or group of factors, that produces the amount of an appropriate allowance for loan losses, as the methodology for assessing the allowance for loan losses makes use of evaluations of individual impaired loans along with other factors and analysis of loan categories. This assessment is highly qualitative and relies upon judgments and estimates by management.

 

The specific allowance is recorded based on the result of an evaluation consistent with ASC 310.10.35, Receivables: Subsequent Measurement, for each impaired loan. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the collateral. The amount and level of the impairment allowance is ultimately determined by management’s estimate of the amount of expected future cash flows or, if the loan is collateral dependent, on the value of collateral, which may vary from period to period depending on changes in the financial condition of the borrower or changes in the estimated value of the collateral. Charge-offs against the allowance for impaired loans are made when and to the extent loans are deemed uncollectible. Any portion of a collateral dependent impaired loan in excess of the fair value of the collateral that is determined to be uncollectible is charged off.

 

The general component of the allowance is calculated based on ASC 450, Contingencies. Loans not evaluated for specific allowance are segmented into loan pools by type of loan. Commercial real estate pools are further segmented by market type for non-owner occupied and owner occupied collateral. Our primary markets are Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Colorado. Estimated allowances are based on historical loss trends with adjustments factored in based on qualitative risk factors both internal and external to us. The historical loss trend is determined by loan pool and segmentation and is based on the actual loss history experienced by us over the most recent three years. The qualitative risk factors include, but are not limited to, economic and business conditions, changes in lending staff, lending policies and procedures, quality of loan review, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolios, loss and recovery trends, asset quality trends, and legal and regulatory considerations.

Independent appraisals on real estate collateral securing loans are obtained at origination. New appraisals are obtained periodically and following discovery of factors that may significantly affect the value of the collateral. Appraisals typically are received within 30 days of request. Results of appraisals on nonperforming and potential problem loans are reviewed promptly upon receipt and considered in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. We are not aware of any significant time lapses in the process that have resulted, or would result in, a significant delay in determination of a credit weakness, the identification of a loan as nonperforming, or the measurement of an impairment.

 

The following tables show the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans for the dates indicated by portfolio classification disaggregated on the basis of impairment evaluation method.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In estimating fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

 

Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by us using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on our estimated fair value amounts. There were no significant changes in valuation methods used to estimate fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

 

Available for sale securities – The fair value of U.S. Government and federal agency securities, equity securities, and residential mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. The fair value of other investments such as obligations of state and political subdivisions is estimated based on quoted market prices. We obtain fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. We review the prices supplied by our independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices.

 

Derivative instruments – We utilize an interest rate swap agreement to convert one of our variable-rate subordinated debentures to a fixed rate. This has been designated as a cash flow hedge. We also offer an interest rate swap program that permits qualified customers to manage interest rate risk on variable rate loans with Bank SNB. Derivative contracts are executed between our customers and Bank SNB. Offsetting contracts are executed by Bank SNB and approved counterparties. The counterparty contracts are identical to customer contracts, except for a fixed pricing spread or fee paid to us and collateral requirements. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are obtained from dealer quotes.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These assets are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Valuation methodologies for assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are as follows:

 

Impaired loans – Certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Collateral values are estimated using inputs based on third-party appraisals. Certain other impaired loans are analyzed and reported through a specific valuation allowance based upon the net present value of cash flows.

 

Loans held for sale – Real estate mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, which is determined on an individual loan basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on existing investor commitments.

 

Other real estate – Other real estate fair value is based on third-party appraisals for significant properties less the estimated costs to sell the asset.

 

Mortgage loan servicing rights – There is no active trading market for loan servicing rights. The fair value of loan servicing rights is estimated by calculating the present value of net servicing revenue over the anticipated life of each loan. A cash flow model is used to determine fair value. Key assumptions and estimates, including projected prepayment speeds and assumed servicing costs, earnings on escrow deposits, ancillary income, and discount rates, used by this model are based on current market sources. A separate third party model is used to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing turnover rates, estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults, and other relevant factors. The prepayment model is updated for changes in market conditions.

 

Core deposit premiums – The fair value of core deposit premiums are based on third-party appraisals.

 

17 

 

 

Goodwill – Fair value of goodwill is based on the fair value of each of our reporting units to which goodwill is allocated compared with their respective carrying value.

 

Assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized below.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, impaired loans measured at fair value with a carrying amount of $9.5 million were written down to a fair value of $7.9 million, resulting in a life-to-date impairment of $1.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2016, impaired loans measured at fair value with a carrying amount of $19.7 million were written down to a fair value of $13.2 million at December 31, 2016, resulting in a life-to-date impairment charge of $6.5 million.

 

No impairment was recognized for other real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

As of September 30, 2017, mortgage servicing rights had a fair value of $4.3 million, which exceeded the book value of $3.8 million. Because the fair value exceeded the book value, there was no impairment charge at September 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, the mortgage servicing rights had a fair value of $4.2 million, which exceeded the book value of $3.5 million. Because the fair value exceeded the book value, there was no impairment charge at December 31, 2016.

 

No impairment of core deposit premiums or goodwill was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, including those that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The methodologies used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for the other financial instruments are discussed below:

 

Cash and cash equivalents – For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Securities held to maturity – The investment securities held to maturity are carried at cost. The fair value of the held to maturity securities is estimated based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

 

18 

 

 

Loans, net of allowance – Fair values are estimated for certain homogenous categories of loans adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Our loans have been aggregated by categories consisting of commercial, real estate, and other consumer. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows using risks inherent in the loan category and interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms and credit risks.

 

Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for accrued interest receivable.

 

Investments included in other assets – The estimated fair value of investments included in other assets, which primarily consists of investments carried at cost, approximates their carrying values.

 

Deposits – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the statement of financial condition date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Accrued interest payable and other liabilities – The estimated fair value of accrued interest payable and other liabilities, which primarily includes trade accounts payable, approximates their carrying values.

 

Other borrowings – Included in other borrowings are FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The fair value for fixed rate FHLB advances is based upon discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being offered for similar instruments. The fair values of other borrowings are the amounts payable at the statement of financial condition date, as the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term maturity rates.

 

Subordinated debentures – Our two subordinated debentures have floating rates that reset quarterly. The fair value of the floating rate subordinated debentures approximates carrying value at September 30, 2017.

 

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value were as follows:

NOTE 5: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

We utilize derivatives instruments to manage exposure to various types of interest rate risk for us and our customers within our policy guidelines. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and credit risk is considered in determining fair value.

 

Derivative contracts involve the risk of dealing with institutional derivative counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by our asset/liability management committee. Our credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net favorable value and interest payments of all swaps with each counterparty. Access to collateral in the event of default is reasonably assured. Therefore, credit exposure may be reduced by the amount of collateral pledged by the counterparty.

 

Customer Risk Management Interest Rate Swaps

 

Our qualified customers have the opportunity to participate in our interest rate swap program for the purpose of managing interest rate risk on their variable rate loans with us. If we enter into such agreements with customers, then offsetting agreements are executed between us and approved dealer counterparties to minimize our market risk from changes in interest rates. The counterparty contracts are identical to customer contracts, except for a fixed pricing spread or fee paid to us by the dealer counterparty and the collateral requirements. These interest rate swaps carry varying degrees of credit, interest rate and market or liquidity risks. The fair value of derivative instruments is recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

 

We have entered into nineteen customer interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the loan interest rate from floating rate based on LIBOR or prime rate to a fixed rate for the customer. As of September 30, 2017, these loans had an outstanding balance of $198.2 million. We have entered into offsetting agreements with dealer counterparties. The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative contracts recorded as “non-hedge derivative assets” and “non-hedge derivative liabilities” in the consolidated statements of financial condition:

 

   As of September 30, 2017   At December 31, 2016 
(Dollars in thousands)  Notional   Fair Value   Notional   Fair Value 
Non-hedge derivative assets  $198,167   $2,863   $123,953   $1,235 
Non-hedge derivative liabilities   198,167    2,863    123,953    1,235 

 

The margin rates to us in connection with these instruments are a contractual percentage over the one-month LIBOR or a minimal percentage under the prime rate. From time to time, it may be necessary to post collateral with our dealer counterparties to secure the market values of these contracts. As of September 30, 2017, we had posted $1.4 million in collateral with our dealer counterparties. These interest rate swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.

 

Interest Rate Swap

 

We have an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional amount of $25.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement was designated as a hedging instrument in cash flow hedges with the objective of protecting the overall cash flow from our quarterly interest payments on the SBI Capital Trust II preferred securities throughout the seven-year period beginning February 11, 2011 and ending April 7, 2018 from the risk of variability of those payments resulting from changes in the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Under the swap agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 6.15% and receive a variable interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.85% on a total notional amount of $25.0 million, with quarterly settlements. The rate received by us as of September 30, 2017 was 4.15%.

 

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap contract outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and was included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. We obtained the counterparty valuation to validate the interest rate derivative contract as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

The effective portion of our gain or loss due to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap contract, a $0.2 million loss and a $0.3 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, is included in other comprehensive income, net of tax, while the ineffective portion (indicated by the excess of the cumulative change in the fair value of the derivative over that which is necessary to offset the cumulative change in expected future cash flows on the hedge transaction) is included in other noninterest income or other noninterest expense. No ineffectiveness related to the interest rate derivative was recognized during either reporting period.

 

20 

 

 

Net cash outflows as a result of the interest rate swap contract were $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and were included in interest expense on subordinated debentures.

 

We posted cash collateral with our counterparty related to the interest rate swap contract in excess of the required $0.4 million and $0.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

There are no credit-risk-related contingent features associated with our derivative contract.

 

NOTE 6: TAXES ON INCOME

 

Net deferred tax assets totaled $12.2 million at September 30, 2017 and $13.2 million at December 31, 2016. Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets and no valuation allowance is considered necessary.

 

We or one of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal or state tax examinations for years before 2013.

 

NOTE 7: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

On May 25, 2016, the Board authorized our fourth stock repurchase program since August 2014. The program authorizes the repurchase of up to another 5.0%, or approximately 921,000 shares, of our outstanding common stock and became effective February 23, 2017, which was the original expiration date of the third program. During the first nine months of 2017, we have made no repurchases. During 2016, we repurchased 1,398,026 shares for a total of $22.1 million, and since August 2014, we have repurchased a total of 2,519,584 shares for a total of $40.8 million. Repurchases under the program are available at the discretion of management based upon market, business, legal, and other factors. Our ability to repurchase our common stock is limited during the time that our planned merger with Simmons First National Corporation is pending.

 

NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Using the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, which excludes outstanding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.

 

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

NOTE 9: OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

We operate four principal segments: Oklahoma Banking, Texas Banking, Kansas Banking, and Other Operations. The Oklahoma Banking segment provides deposit and lending services, including residential mortgage lending services to customers. Due to its size and our management structure, our Colorado banking operations are included within the Oklahoma Banking segment. The Texas Banking segment and the Kansas Banking segment provide deposit and lending services. Other Operations includes our funds management unit and corporate investments.

 

The primary purpose of the funds management unit is to manage our overall internal liquidity needs and interest rate risk. Each segment borrows funds from or provides funds to the funds management unit as needed to support its operations. The value of funds provided to and the cost of funds borrowed from the funds management unit by each segment are internally priced at rates that approximate market rates for funds with similar duration. The yield used in the funds transfer pricing curve is a blend of rates based on the volume usage of retail and brokered certificates of deposit and FHLB advances.

 

The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as ours. Expenses for consolidated back-office operations are allocated to operating segments based on estimated uses of those services. General overhead expenses such as executive administration, accounting, and audit are allocated based on the direct expense and/or deposit and loan volumes of the operating segment. Income tax expense for the operating segments is calculated at statutory rates. The Other Operations segment records the tax expense or benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes financial results by operating segment:

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

 

In the normal course of business, we make use of a number of different financial instruments to help meet the financial needs of our customers. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, these transactions are not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are referred to as off-balance sheet instruments. These transactions and activities include commitments to extend lines of commercial and real estate mortgage credit and standby and commercial letters of credit.

 

A loan commitment is a binding contract to lend up to a maximum amount for a specified period of time provided there is no violation of any financial, economic, or other terms of the contract. A standby letter of credit obligates us to honor a financial commitment to a third party should our customer fail to perform. Many loan commitments and most standby letters of credit expire unfunded, and, therefore, total commitments do not represent our future funding obligations. Loan commitments and letters of credit are made under normal credit terms, including interest rates and collateral prevailing at the time, and usually require the payment of a fee by the customer. Commercial letters of credit are commitments generally issued to finance the movement of goods between buyers and sellers. Our exposure to credit loss, assuming commitments are funded, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We do not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments.

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our loan commitments were $462.4 million and $429.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our standby letters of credit obligations were $6.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

Customer Risk Management Interest Rate Swap

 

On September 9, 2014, we entered into an agreement to provide one of our commercial borrowers a customer interest rate swap that effectively converts the loan interest rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a fixed rate for the customer. As of September 30, 2017, the floating rate loan had an outstanding balance of $13.9 million. The option to execute the swap is conditional on the borrower’s compliance with the loan and swap agreements, and will be subject to the terms of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement. The fixed pay amount will be based on the market rates at the time of execution, and it is our intention to simultaneously execute an offsetting trade with an approved swap dealer counterparty with identical terms.

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had eight risk participation agreements and seven risk participation agreements, respectively, with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are a participant. The risk participation agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the current notional amount for these transactions were $51.9 million and $34.7 million, respectively.

 

Legal Action

 

On March 18, 2011, an action entitled Ubaldi, et al. v SLM Corporation (“Sallie Mae”), et al., Case No. 3:11-cv-01320 EDL (the “Ubaldi Case”) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California as a putative class action with respect to certain loans that the plaintiffs claim were made by Sallie Mae. The loans in question were made by various banks, including Bank SNB, and sold to Sallie Mae. Plaintiffs claim that Sallie Mae entered into arrangements with chartered banks in order to evade California law and that Sallie Mae is the de facto lender on the loans in question and, as the lender on such loan, Sallie Mae charged interest and late fees that violates California usury law and the California Business and Professions Code. Sallie Mae has denied all claims asserted against it and has stated that it intends to vigorously defend the action. On March 26, 2014, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ request to certify the class; however, the Court permitted the plaintiffs to amend the filing to redefine the class. Plaintiffs filed a renewed motion on June 23, 2014. On December 19, 2014, the Court issued a decision on the renewed motion, certifying a class with respect to claims of improper late fees, but denying class certification with respect to plaintiffs’ usury claims. Plaintiffs thereafter filed a motion seeking leave to amend their complaint to add additional parties, which Sallie Mae opposed, and, on March 24, 2015, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion. On June 5, 2015, the law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll based in Washington, D.C. entered its appearance as co-counsel on behalf of plaintiffs.

 

Bank SNB is not specifically named in the action. However, in the first quarter of 2014, Sallie Mae provided Bank SNB with a notice of claims that have been asserted against Sallie Mae in the Ubaldi Case (the “Notice”). Sallie Mae asserts in the Notice that Bank SNB may have indemnification and/or repurchase obligations pursuant to the ExportSS Agreement dated July 1, 2002 between Sallie Mae and Bank SNB, pursuant to which the loans in question were made by Bank SNB. Bank SNB has substantial defenses with respect to any claim for indemnification or repurchase ultimately made by Sallie Mae, if any, and intends to vigorously defend against any such claims.

 

Due to the uncertainty regarding (i) the size and scope of the class, (ii) whether a class will ultimately be certified, (iii) the particular class members, (iv) the interest rate on loans made by Bank SNB charged to particular class members, (v) the late fees charged to particular class members, (vi) the time period that will ultimately be at issue if a class is certified in the Ubaldi Case, (vii) the theories, if any, under which the plaintiffs might prevail, (viii) whether Sallie Mae will make a claim against us for indemnification or repurchase, and (ix) the likelihood that Sallie Mae would prevail if it makes such a claim, we cannot estimate the amount or the range of losses that may arise as a result of the Ubaldi Case.

 

In the normal course of business, we are at all times subject to various pending and threatened legal actions. The relief or damages sought in some of these actions may be substantial. After reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management currently does not expect that the outcome of such actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position; however, we are not able to predict whether the outcome of such actions may or may not have a material adverse effect on results of operations in a particular future period as the timing and amount of any resolution of such actions and relationship to the future results of operations are not known.

 

NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

We previously announced a definitive agreement and plan of merger with and into Simmons First National Corporation (NASDAQ-GS: SFNC). On October 19, 2017, the merger was completed pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 14, 2016. The merger was described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with the SEC on September 12, 2017.

In the merger, each outstanding share of Southwest common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.3903 shares of the SFNC’s common stock and $5.11 in cash. SFNC issued 7,250,000 shares of its common stock and paid $95,000,000 in cash to effect the merger. Additionally, upon consummation of the merger, SFNC assumed subordinated debt issued by Southwest in an aggregate principal amount of $46.4 million. The merger was approved by stockholders of Southwest on October 17, 2017 and by stockholders of SFNC on October 18, 2017.

 

NOTE 12: NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting treatment. This ASU changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease execution costs, and, for lessors, modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that estimates credit losses on most financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity securities, using the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the financial instrument’s entire contractual term from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. The ASU also requires incremental disclosures on how the entity developed its estimates. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2020. We are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance specifically addresses eight classification issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon bonds; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) policies, including bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies; distributions received from equity method investments; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of the ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. The ASU requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of an intercompany asset transfer when the transfer occurs. The amendments in this ASU do not change accounting for the pre-tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers under Topic 810, Consolidation, and do not apply to intra-entity inventory transfers. The economic consequences of intra-entity asset sales—other than inventory—will be recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs and no longer deferred. A reporting entity’s effective tax rate likely will be affected due to the immediate recognition of the seller’s taxes and buyer’s deferred taxes, particularly when the transaction has no effect on consolidated pre-tax income. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statement disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The main objective of this new standard is to help financial statement preparers evaluate whether a set of transferred assets and activities (either acquired or disposed of) is a business. Accounting for a business combination differs significantly from that of an asset acquisition. Because the definition of a business affects acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation, the revised definition of a business is generally expected to reduce the number of transactions that qualify as a business combination. This guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The set is not a business if this screen is met. If this screen is not met, however, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018, and we are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance will simplify financial reporting because it eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure the goodwill impairment. This ASU simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Entities will still perform their annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment should be recorded. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charged based on that difference. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed once recognized. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2020, and we are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 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. This ASU primarily defines in-substance nonfinancial assets and provides guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. It also eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate, removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model, and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019, and we are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which is intended to enhance the accounting for the amortization of premiums for purchased callable debt securities. This ASU amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by more closely aligning the amortization period of premiums and discounts to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities. Previously, the premiums on callable debt securities generally were required to be amortized based on the maturity date. Under this update, the premiums on certain callable debt securities held at a premium are to be amortized based on the earliest call date. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this update effective January 1, 2017, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU provides relief to entities that make non-substantive changes to their share-based payment awards. It provides guidance that will allow companies to make certain changes to awards without applying modification accounting. Under the new guidance, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if the award’s fair value, vesting conditions, and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same immediately before and after the change. This guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018, and we are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and disclosures.
