Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

 

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (MutualFirst or the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiaries, MFBC Statutory Trust, MutualFirst Risk Management, Inc., Mutual Risk Advisors, Inc., and MutualBank, an Indiana commercial bank (“Mutual” or the “Bank”), Mutual’s wholly owned subsidiaries, First MFSB Corporation, Mishawaka Financial Services, Summit Service Corp. and the wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Service Corp., Summit Mortgage Inc. (“Summit”), Mutual Federal Investment Company (“MFIC”), and MFIC majority owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These companies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed by the banking industry. The more significant of the policies are described below.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2018.

 

The interim consolidated condensed financial statements at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 

 

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of that date.

 

Note 2:  Acquisitions

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company completed the 100% acquisition of Universal Bancorp (“Universal”). Universal and BloomBank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal, merged with and into the Company and the Bank, respectively. BloomBank was headquartered in Bloomfield, Indiana and had 13 retail financial center offices serving counties in central and southern Indiana. Under terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of Universal received fixed consideration of 15.6 shares of MutualFirst common stock and $250.00 in cash for each share of Universal common stock. The Company issued approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock, which was valued at approximately $42.3 million. Based upon the February 28, 2018 closing price of $35.70 per share of MutualFirst common stock, the transaction has an implied valuation of approximately $61.3 million. The Company incurred approximately $2.2 million in pretax expenses related to the acquisition in the first nine months of 2018. These expenses are classified in the non-interest expense section of the income statement, primarily in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees and other expenses. As a result of the acquisition, the Company was able to increase both its deposit and loan base and expects to reduce costs through economies of scale. Goodwill resulted from this transaction due to the expected synergies and economies of scale.

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition. Based on preliminary valuations of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and related deferred tax impacts, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change as management continues to evaluate, the purchase price for the Universal acquisition is detailed in the following table. If, prior to the end of the one-year measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The measurement period adjustments will be calculated as if the accounting had been completed as of the acquisition date.

Note 4: Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. These amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 as follows:

 

·Removal of the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements.
·For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and the amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.
·Additional disclosure of the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is assessing ASU 2018-13 and the impact on its disclosures.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. Topic 718 currently only includes share-based payments to employees where the ASU will substantially align the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal year, and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company has assessed ASU 2018-07 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s accounting and disclosures.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118. The ASU amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB 118. SAB 118 addresses the application of generally accepted accounting principles in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company has assessed ASU 2018-05 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s accounting and disclosures.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has assessed ASU 2018-02 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s accounting and disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company has assessed ASU 2017-04 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its accounting and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805)-Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 provides amendments to clarify the definition of a business and affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018. Adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect 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. The ASU is intended to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows by specifically addressing eight specific areas. The amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018. Adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. Topic 326 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. The ASU is intended to provide financial statement users with useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit.

 

·The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost (primarily loans) be presented at the amount net of a valuation allowance for credit losses, and that the income statement include the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as changes in expected losses on previously recognized financial assets. The provisions of this ASU do not specify the method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate. The new model will be based on relevant information including past events, historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportive forecasts that affect the collectability of the asset. The provisions of this ASU differ from current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in that current U.S. GAAP generally delays recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring.
·This ASU requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down.

 

This ASU will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning in the first quarter of 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is in the evaluation stage for this ASU in order to determine the most appropriate method of implementation and all resources and data (both current and historical) needed.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The objective of the amendment is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. These changes will increase transparency among companies by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing additional information about lease arrangements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The Company has operating leases in place for some locations as well as equipment and is in the early stages of evaluating the potential impact of adopting this amendment.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this Update require: (1) all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee); (2) 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; and (3) eliminates the requirement 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 for public business entities. The new guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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. This ASU affects entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for public entities to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company’s revenue is comprised of interest income on financial assets, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, and non-interest income. We have completed our evaluation of the impact of ASU 2014-09 on components of our non-interest income including trust and investment management fees, insurance commissions and fees and have not found any significant changes to our methodology of recognizing revenue. As required by the ASU, the Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additional information related to revenue generated from contracts with customers is detailed on the following page.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s principal source of revenue is interest income from loans and leases and investment securities. The Company also earns noninterest income from various banking and financial services offered primarily through the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

Interest Income – The largest source of revenue for the Company is interest income which is primarily recognized on an accrual basis according to nondiscretionary formulas in written contracts, such as loan and lease agreements or investment securities contracts.

 

Noninterest Income – The Company earns noninterest income through a variety of financial and transaction services provided to business and consumer clients such as trust and wealth advisory, deposit account, debit card, and mortgage banking. Revenue is recorded for noninterest income based on the contractual terms for the service or transaction performed. In certain circumstances, noninterest income is reported net of associated expenses.

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $14.4 million and $57.7 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $4.0 million and $22.3 million. Gross gains were recognized on the sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $485,000 and $748,000, respectively. Gross gains of $45,000 and $453,000 were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Gross losses of $79,000 and $82,000 were also recognized on the sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no gross losses recognized on the sales of securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $293.6 million and $142.9 million, respectively, which were approximately 81.4% and 51.5%, respectively, of the Company’s investment portfolio at those dates.

 

Based on our evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, management believes the fair value for the securities at less than historical cost for the periods presented are temporary.

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

 

During the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, the Bank determined that its security holdings had no other-than-temporary impairment.

 

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO)

 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in MBSs and CMOs were caused by interest rate changes and illiquidity. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. Because (1) the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity and not credit quality, (2) the Company does not intend to sell the investments and (3) it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

 

Municipal Obligations

 

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities of state and political subdivisions were caused by changes in interest rates and illiquidity. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investments.  The Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments. The Company does not consider any of these investment securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

 

Corporate Obligations

 

The Company’s unrealized losses on investments in corporate obligations primarily relates to a pooled trust preferred security. The unrealized losses were primarily due to illiquidity.

 

 13

 

 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI)

 

Upon acquisition of a security, the Company decides whether it is within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets or whether it will be evaluated for impairment under the accounting guidance for investments in debt and equity securities.

 

The accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets provides incremental impairment guidance for a subset of the debt securities within the scope of the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. For securities that are a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the beneficial interests in securitized financial asset impairment model. For securities that are not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses debt and equity securities impairment accounting model.

 

The Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Economic models are used to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on these securities. While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by other-than-temporary impairment testing are private-label mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities.

 

The Bank’s trust preferred securities valuation was prepared by an independent third party. Their approach to determining fair value involved several steps including:

 

·Detailed credit and structural evaluation of each piece of collateral in the trust preferred securities;
·Collateral performance projections for each piece of collateral in the trust preferred security;
·Terms of the trust preferred structure, as laid out in the indenture; and
·Discounted cash flow modeling.

 

MutualFirst Financial uses market-based yield indicators as a baseline for determining appropriate discount rates, and then adjusts the resulting discount rates on the basis of its credit and structural analysis of specific trust preferred securities. The primary focus is on the returns a fixed income investor would require in order to allocate capital on a risk adjusted basis. There is currently little demand for pooled trust preferred securities; however, the Company looks principally to market yields for stand-alone trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts and insurance companies for which there is an active and liquid market. The next step is to make a series of adjustments to reflect the differences that exist between these products (both credit and structural) and, most importantly, to reflect idiosyncratic credit performance differences (both actual and projected) between these products and the underlying collateral in the specific trust preferred security. Importantly, as part of the analysis described above, MutualFirst considers the fact that structured instruments frequently exhibit leverage not present in stand-alone instruments, and makes adjustments as necessary to reflect this additional risk.

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities. The Bank has invested in a pooled trust preferred security. At September 30, 2018, the current book value of our pooled trust preferred security was $3.0 million. The original par value of this security was $3.0 million. The pooled trust preferred security owned was performing as agreed in the first nine months of 2018. As of September 2018, current Moody’s ratings for this bond was B3. The pooled trust preferred security owned by the Bank is exempt from the Volcker Rule.

(1)A 10% recovery is applied to all projected defaults by depository institutions. A 15% recovery is applied to all projected defaults by insurance companies. No recovery is applied to current defaults.
(2)Excess subordination represents the additional defaults in excess of both current and projected defaults that the collateralized debt obligation can absorb before the bond experiences any credit impairment. Excess subordinated percentage is calculated by (a) determining what percentage of defaults a pool can experience before the bond has credit impairment, and (b) subtracting from this default breakage percentage both total current and expected future default percentages.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

 

Commercial

 

Real estate

 

These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

 

Construction and Development

 

Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analyses of absorption and lease rates and financial analyses of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

 

Commercial and Industrial

 

Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Consumer Real Estate and Other Consumer Loans

 

With respect to residential loans that are secured by consumer closed end first mortgages and are primarily owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires Private Mortgage Insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Consumer open end and junior lien loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and other consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

 

Nonaccrual Loans and Past Due Loans

 

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the loan is greater than 90 days past due, the borrower, in management’s opinion, may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due or when required by regulatory provisions.

 

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured and generally only after six months of satisfactory performance.

 

Nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows:

Impaired Loans

 

Loans are considered impaired in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

 

Interest on impaired loans is recorded based on the performance of the loan. All interest received on impaired loans that are on nonaccrual status is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Interest is accrued per the contract for impaired loans that are performing.

 

The following tables present impaired loans as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The following information presents the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on rating category and payment activity as of September 30, 2018.

 

Commercial Loan Grades

 

Definition of Loan Grades. Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8. Grades 1-4 are "pass" credits, grade 5 [Special Mention] loans are "criticized" assets, and grades 6 [Substandard], 7 [Doubtful] and 8 [Loss] are "classified" assets. The use and application of these grades by the Bank conform to the Bank's policy and regulatory definitions.

 

Pass. Pass credits are loans in grades prime through fair. These are at least considered to be credits with acceptable risks and would be granted in the normal course of lending operations.

 

Special Mention. Special mention credits have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credits or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. If weaknesses cannot be identified, classifying as special mention is not appropriate. Special mention credits are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification. No apparent loss of principal or interest is expected.

 

Substandard. Substandard credits are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged. Financial statements normally reveal some or all of the following:  poor trends, lack of earnings and cash flow, excessive debt, lack of liquidity, and the absence of creditor protection. Credits so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful. A doubtful extension of credit has all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans. Doubtful classification for an entire credit should be avoided when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable with the adequately secured portion graded Substandard.  

 

The increase in commercial real estate substandard loans was a result of one $5.6 million relationship based on slower than expected payments. Management believes there is a low likelihood of loss on this relationship.

 

Retail Loan Grades

 

Pass. Pass credits are loans that are currently performing as agreed and are not troubled debt restructurings.

 

Special Mention. Special mention credits have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credits or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. If weaknesses cannot be identified, classifying as special mention is not appropriate. Special mention credits are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification. No apparent loss of principal or interest is expected.

 

Substandard. Substandard credits are loans that have reason to be considered to have a weakness and placed on non-accrual. This would include all retail loans over 90 days and troubled debt restructurings.

Allowance for Loan Losses.

 

We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, including the general allowance and specific allowances for identified problem loans and portfolio segments.  In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in FASB ASC 310, Receivables.  These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. The general allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of such loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the general allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

 

The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectability of the loan.  Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers.  To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment.  Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the general allowance for loan losses.  The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.

 

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts.  Our methodology as described permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the general allowance in the event that, in management’s judgment, significant factors which affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors.  By assessing the probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available.

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments.

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral.

 

For all loan portfolio segments except consumer real estate and other consumer loans, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.

 

The Company charges-off consumer real estate and other consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 180 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 180 days past due, and charge-down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 120 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged-off.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Certain categories of impaired loans include loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring, that involves granting economic concessions to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Modifications of terms for our loans and their inclusion as troubled debt restructurings are based on individual facts and circumstances.

 

When we modify loans in a troubled debt restructuring, we evaluate any possible impairment similar 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 we use the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If we determine 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), impairment is recognized through a specific reserve or a charge-off to the allowance.

 

Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification. As a result, if a loan is on nonaccrual at the time it is modified, it stays as nonaccrual until a period of satisfactory performance, generally six months, is obtained. If a loan is on accrual at the time of the modification, the loan is evaluated to determine if the collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured and generally stays on accrual.

 

At September 30, 2018, the Company had loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings. The modification of terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: an extension of maturity or a reduction of the stated interest rate.

Note 7: Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recorded on the acquisition date of an entity. During the measurement period, the Corporation may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date. The Universal acquisition on February 28, 2018 resulted in $20.7 million of goodwill, which includes a reduction of $1.4 million. This reduction was recorded in the second quarter of 2018 as a measurement period adjustment. Details regarding the Universal acquisition are discussed in Note 2 Acquisitions of this Form 10-Q.

Note 8: Accounting for Certain Loans Acquired in a Transfer

 

The Company acquired loans in the acquisition of Universal and a few of the transferred loans had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.

 

Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. The Company acquired two loans with evidence of credit deterioration recorded at a fair value of $313,000.

Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has certain interest rate derivative positions that are not designated as hedging instruments. Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and do not take into account the effects of master netting agreements. Master netting agreements allow the Company to settle all derivative contracts held with a single counterparty on a net basis, and to offset net derivative positions with related collateral, where applicable. These derivative positions relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a client while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution. In connection with each transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the client on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the client on the same notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows the client to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because the terms of the swaps with the customers and the other financial institution offset each other, with the only difference being counterparty credit risk, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts are not materially different and do not significantly impact the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The notional amount of customer-facing swaps as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $27.5 million and $17.3 million, respectively.

 

The following table shows the fair values of derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 12: Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying comparative balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company uses a third-party provider to provide market prices on its securities. Pooled trust preferred securities prices are evaluated by a third party. Level 1 securities include marketable equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations, small business administration, marketable equity, municipal, federal agency and certain corporate obligation securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain corporate obligation securities.

 

Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2). Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on investment securities relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Any investment security not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.

 

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

 

Interest rate swap positions, both assets and liabilities, are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers various factors including interest rate yield curves, time value and volatility factors.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

From time to time, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.

 

The following table presents quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements:

 

September 30, 2018  Fair Value   Valuation Technique  Unobservable Inputs  Range 
Trust Preferred Securities  $2,120   Discounted cash flow  Discount rate   8.0%
           Constant prepayment rate   2.0%

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

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2018.

 

MutualFirst is a Maryland corporation and a bank holding company headquartered in Muncie, Indiana, with banking operations in Allen, Delaware, Elkhart, Grant, Greene, Hamilton, Jackson, Johnson, Knox, Kosciusko, Lawrence, Monroe, Randolph, St. Joseph and Wabash counties in Indiana. It owns MutualBank, an Indiana commercial bank with 39 full-service branches in Indiana, trust offices in Fishers and Crawfordsville, Indiana and a loan origination office in New Buffalo, Michigan. MutualBank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Summit Service Corp, owns Summit Mortgage, a mortgage banking company located in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The Company is subject to examination, supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), and the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (IDFI) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

 

Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public, municipalities and businesses, including some brokered deposits, and investing those funds primarily in loans secured by consumer closed end first mortgages and consumer open end and junior liens on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, a variety of other consumer loans, loans secured by commercial real estate, commercial construction and development and commercial and industrial loans. Funds not invested in loans generally are invested in investment securities, including mortgage-backed, mortgage-related, and municipal. We also obtain funds from FHLB advances and other borrowings.

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on the level of our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. The structure of our interest-earning assets versus the structure of interest-bearing liabilities, along with the shape of the yield curve, has a direct impact on our net interest income. Historically, our interest-earning assets have been longer term in nature (i.e., fixed-rate loans) and interest-bearing liabilities have been shorter term (i.e., certificates of deposit, regular savings accounts, etc.). This structure would impact net interest income favorably in a decreasing rate environment, assuming a normally shaped yield curve, as the rates on interest-bearing liabilities would decrease more rapidly than rates on interest-earning assets. Conversely, in an increasing rate environment, as we currently have, assuming a normally shaped yield curve, net interest income would be impacted unfavorably as rates on interest-earning assets would increase at a slower rate than rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Third Quarter Highlights. At September 30, 2018, we had $2.0 billion in assets, $1.5 billion in net loans, $1.5 billion in deposits and $193.7 million in stockholders’ equity. The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio at September 30, 2018 was 12.7%, exceeding the 10.0% requirement for a well-capitalized institution. Tangible common equity, as a percentage of tangible assets, decreased to 8.4% as of September 30, 2018 due to the Universal acquisition compared to 9.4% at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, net income was $5.4 million, or $0.62 diluted earnings per common share, compared with net income of $3.8 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, contains a summary of our management’s strategic plan for 2015-2019. The financial highlights of our strategic progress during the quarter include:

 

·Commercial and non-real estate consumer lending was 63.0% of the lending portfolio as of September 30, 2018 compared to 56.7% at December 31, 2017.
·Core deposits were $1.0 billion, or 68.1% of total deposits as of September 30, 2018 compared to 69.1% at December 31, 2017. The decrease in the core deposit percentage was due to an increase in certificates of deposit, which management believes to be a source of stable funding.
·Commission income from wealth and investment services decreased $139,000, or 11.0%, during the third quarter 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 and decreased $23,000 during the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, mortgage servicing rights, valuation of intangible assets and securities, deferred tax asset and income tax accounting.

 

 37

 

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management’s assumptions about specific borrowers and current general economic and business conditions, among other factors. A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risk and could create the need for additional loss reserves. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on at least a quarterly basis. The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, identified problem loans and the probability of collecting all amounts due.

 

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Management estimates the fair value of the properties based on current appraisal information. Fair value estimates are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment, market conditions, and real estate market. A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of a decline in property values and could create the need to write down the properties through current operations.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. MutualFirst periodically assesses the impairment of its goodwill and the recoverability of its core deposit intangible. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount exceeds its implied fair value. If actual external conditions and future operating results differ from MutualFirst’s judgments, impairment and/or increased amortization charges may be necessary to reduce the carrying value of these assets to the appropriate value.

 

Securities. Under FASB Codification Topic 320 (ASC 320), Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, investment securities must be classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Management determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. The classification of securities is significant since it directly impacts the accounting for unrealized gains and losses on securities. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income and do not affect earnings until realized.

 

The fair values of the Company’s securities are generally determined by reference to quoted prices from reliable independent sources utilizing observable inputs. Certain of the Company’s fair values of securities are determined using models whose significant value drivers or assumptions are unobservable and are significant to the fair value of the securities. These models are utilized when quoted prices are not available for certain securities or in markets where trading activity has slowed or ceased. When quoted prices are not available and are not provided by third party pricing services, management judgment is necessary to determine fair value. As such, fair value is determined using discounted cash flow analysis models, incorporating default rates, estimation of prepayment characteristics and implied volatilities.

 

The Company evaluates all securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant additional evaluations, for determining if an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists pursuant to guidelines established in ASC 320. In evaluating the possible impairment of securities, 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 the ability and intent of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies or government sponsored agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

 

 38

 

 

If management determines that an investment experienced an OTTI, management must then determine the amount of the OTTI to be recognized in earnings. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period loss, the OTTI will be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the OTTI related to other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings will become the new amortized cost basis of the investment. If management intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. Any subsequent recoveries related to the value of these securities are recorded as an unrealized gain (as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity) and not recognized in income until the security is ultimately sold.

 

The Company from time to time may dispose of an impaired security in response to asset/liability management decisions, future market movements, business plan changes, or if the net proceeds can be reinvested at a rate of return that is expected to recover the loss within a reasonable period of time.

 

Deferred Tax Asset. The Company has evaluated its deferred tax asset to determine if it is more likely than not that the asset will be utilized in the future. The Company’s most recent evaluation has determined that, except for the amounts represented by the valuation allowance in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company will more likely than not be able to utilize the remaining deferred tax asset. As of year-end 2017, the Company had generated average annual positive pre-tax pre-provision earnings of $17.3 million, or 1.2% of pre-tax pre-provision ROA over the previous five years. This level of earnings, if maintained in the future, would be sufficient to utilize portions of the operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and temporary tax differences over the allowable periods. The analysis as of September 30, 2018, supports no additional valuation reserve is needed.

 

The valuation allowances established are the result of net operating losses for state franchise tax purposes totaling $17.9 million. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Income Tax Accounting. We file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes is based upon income in our consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on our income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 reducing the Company’s federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. At September 30, 2018, the Company has completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s principal source of revenue is interest income from loans and leases and investment securities. The Company also earns noninterest income from various banking and financial services offered primarily through the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

Interest Income – The largest source of revenue for the Company is interest income which is primarily recognized on an accrual basis according to nondiscretionary formulas in written contracts, such as loan and lease agreements or investment securities contracts.

 

Noninterest Income – The Company earns noninterest income through a variety of financial and transaction services provided to business and consumer clients such as trust and wealth advisory, deposit account, debit card, and mortgage banking. Revenue is recorded for noninterest income based on the contractual terms for the service or transaction performed. In certain circumstances, noninterest income is reported net of associated expenses.

Financial Condition

 

General. Total assets at September 30, 2018 were $2.0 billion, reflecting a $432.2 million increase since December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Universal. The gross loan portfolio at September 30, 2018 increased by $291.4 million since December 31, 2017 primarily due to acquiring the $252.6 million net portfolio of Universal in the first quarter of 2018. Total liabilities as of September 30, 2018 were $1.8 billion, an increase of $388.8 million compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to a $329.2 million increase in deposits, of which $315.2 million came in the acquisition. Total stockholders’ equity increased to $193.7 million, an increase of $43.4 million compared to December 31, 2017 primarily due to $42.3 million of capital issued as part of the acquisition of Universal.

 

Loans. Our gross loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, increased $291.4 million at September 30, 2018 to $1.5 billion. The following table reflects the changes in the gross amount of loans, excluding loans held for sale, by type during the nine month period:

  

   September 30,   December 31,   Amount   Percent 
   2018   2017   Change   Change 
                 
Real estate                    
Commercial  $490,150   $318,684   $171,466    53.80%
Commercial construction and development   42,854    28,164    14,690    52.16 
Consumer closed end first mortgage   470,418    444,243    26,175    5.89 
Consumer open end and junior liens   76,843    69,477    7,366    10.60 
Total real estate loans   1,080,265    860,568    219,697    25.53 
                     
Consumer loans

Total consumer other   252,432    195,066    57,366    29.41 
Commercial and industrial   145,425    131,079    14,346    10.94 
Total other loans   397,857    326,145    71,712    21.99 
                     
Total Gross Loans  $1,478,122   $1,186,713   $291,409    24.56%

 

The Company’s strategy to increase commercial and non-real estate consumer loans remains a primary focus as we continued to see growth in these areas during the first nine months of 2018. Commercial and non-real estate consumer loans increased by $257.9 million to $930.9 million. The Universal acquisition accelerated our progress toward achieving our strategic objectives during the first nine months of 2018. We continue to seek to provide sound commercial borrowers opportunities for new loans to meet their growing demands, refinance loans currently served by other financial institutions and build relationships with commercial clients in our footprint. The Company continues to sell longer term fixed-rate mortgage loans to reduce related interest rate risk.

 

Delinquencies and Non-performing Assets. As of September 30, 2018, our total loans delinquent 30-to-89 days were $13.9 million, or 0.9% of total loans, down from $15.9 million, or 1.3% of total loans at the year-end of 2017. This was primarily due to a decrease in delinquencies on consumer real estate loans.

 

At September 30, 2018, our non-performing assets totaled $7.2 million or 0.36% of total assets, compared to $6.0 million or 0.38% of total assets at December 31, 2017. This $1.2 million, or 21.1% increase was primarily due to $1.0 million of real estate held for sale as a result of foreclosed real estate acquired in the acquisition of Universal.

 

 41

 

 

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets at the dates indicated.

  

   September 30,   December 31,   Amount   Percent 
   2018   2017   Change   Change 
                 
Non-accruing loans  $5,719   $5,220   $499    9.56%
Accruing loans delinquent 90 days   -    31    (31)   (100.00)
Foreclosed assets   1,530    733    797    108.73 
Total  $7,249   $5,984   $1,265    21.14%

 

The Company continues to diligently monitor and write down loans that appear to have irreversible weakness. The Company works to ensure possible problem loans have been identified and steps have been taken to reduce loss by restructuring loans to improve cash flow or by increasing collateral. Total classified assets increased by 34.6% from $17.3 million at December 31, 2017 to $23.2 million at September 30, 2018 due primarily to a $6.5 million increase in commercial real estate loans. The increase was primarily related to one $5.6 million loan classified as substandard due to slower than expected payments. Management believes there is a low likelihood of loss on this relationship.

 

At September 30, 2018, foreclosed real estate totaled $1.2 million compared to $251,000 at December 31, 2017. At September 30, 2018, all foreclosed real estate owned was in consumer or commercial real estate. The increase in foreclosed real estate was primarily due to $1.0 million of foreclosed real estate acquired in the Universal acquisition. As of September 30, 2018, the Company also held $335,000 in other repossessed assets, such as autos, boats, RVs and horse trailers.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. Allowance for loan losses increased to $13.0 million as of September 30, 2018 compared to $12.4 million as of December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans as of September 30, 2018 was 227.5% compared to 235.9% as of December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses to total loans as of September 30, 2018 was 0.88% compared to 1.05% as of December 31, 2017. Non-performing loans to total loans at September 30, 2018 were 0.39% compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2017. Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.36% at September 30, 2018 compared 0.38% at December 31, 2017.

 

Deposits. Deposits increased by $329.2 million in the first nine months of 2018 primarily due to an increase of $315.2 million due to the acquisition. The increase in deposits was a result of a $211.2 million increase in core deposits to $1.0 billion and a $118.0 million increase in certificates of deposit to $489.1 million. Core deposits are 68.1% of the Bank’s total deposits as of September 30, 2018.

Borrowings. Total borrowings increased to $279.1 million at September 30, 2018, up $57.7 million, or 26.1%, since year-end 2017. The increase was primarily due to acquiring $25.5 million in FHLB advances through the acquisition of Universal and increased borrowing due to organic loan growth. Other borrowings, increased $13.7 million at September 30, 2018 due to the subordinated debenture acquired from Universal and term note borrowings used in the acquisition of Universal.

 

The Company acquired $5.0 million of issuer trust preferred securities in the 2008 acquisition of MFB Corp, which had a net balance of $4.3 million at September 30, 2018 due to the purchase accounting adjustment in that acquisition. These securities mature 30 years from the date of issuance, or September 15, 2035. The securities bear a rate of interest of the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 170 basis points. The Company has the right to redeem the trust preferred securities, in whole or in part, without penalty.

 

The Company acquired $5.0 million of issuer trust preferred securities in the acquisition of Universal, which had a net balance of $4.0 million at September 30, 2018 due to the purchase accounting adjustment in the acquisition. These securities mature 30 years from the date of issuance, or October 7, 2035. The securities bears a rate of interest of the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 169 basis points. The Company has the right to redeem the trust preferred securities, in whole or in part, without penalty.

 

The Company borrowed $10.0 million in two $5.0 million term notes from First Tennessee Bank, N.A. to use in the acquisition of Universal. These loans had a combined balance of $9.7 million at September 30, 2018. The fixed rate term note matures 5 years from the date of issuance, or February 28, 2023. This term note bears a fixed rate of interest of 4.99% per annum. The variable rate term note matures 5 years from the date of issuance, or February 28, 2023. This term note bears a rate of interest of the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 195 basis points. The Company has the right to redeem either note at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity was $193.7 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $43.4 million from December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to $42.3 million of capital issued in connection with the acquisition of Universal. The increase included net income of $13.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $8.0 million, due to market value changes in the investment portfolio, and common stock cash dividends paid of $4.6 million during the nine months of 2018. The Company’s tangible book value per common share as of September 30, 2018 decreased to $19.50 compared to $20.08 as of December 31, 2017 and the tangible common equity ratio decreased to 8.39% as of September 30, 2018 compared to 9.35% as of December 31, 2017. The decreases in tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio were due to the reasons noted above, as well as the recording of $20.7 million of goodwill and $4.5 million in core deposit intangible in connection with the acquisition of Universal. The Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios were well in excess of “well-capitalized” levels as defined by all regulatory standards as of September 30, 2018.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $5.8 million, or 38.7%, to $20.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $15.0 million during the same period in 2017. The increase was a result of an increase of $403.4 million in average interest-earning assets due to an increase in the average loan portfolio of $285.5 million and an increase of thirty-seven basis points in the average interest rate on average interest-earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

 

 44

 

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 60.0%, to $4.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The primary reason for this increase was an increase of $304.0 million in average interest-bearing liabilities. This was due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $248.4 million and an increase in average borrowings of $55.6 million. In addition, the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities increased by twenty-five basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily a result of an increase of $403.4 million in average interest earning assets, due to an increase of $285.5 million in average loans. This increase was also aided by an eighteen basis point increase in net interest margin to 3.50%, while the tax equivalent margin increased thirteen basis points. The increase in the margin was the result of the Universal acquisition, as well as average interest earning assets, primarily loans, repricing upward faster than average interest bearing liabilities due to increases in the federal funds rate. The increase due to fed funds rate changes primarily impacted loans due to adjustable rate loans repricing as most deposits were not impacted by the increase in fed funds rate. For more information on our asset/liability management especially as it relates to interest rate risk, see “Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2018 was $570,000 compared to $370,000 during last year’s comparable period. The increase was due to management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which was partially attributable to an increasing organic loan portfolio. Net charge offs in the third quarter of 2018 were $290,000, or 0.08% of total average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge offs of $418,000, or 0.14% of total average loans on an annualized basis, in the third quarter of 2017.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2018 was $5.0 million, an increase of $605,000 compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Increases in non-interest income included an increase of $373,000 in service fee income on deposit accounts primarily due to the acquisition along with increases in interchange fee income. Gain on sale of investments increased $361,000 due to more sales during the period. This increase was partially offset by a $157,000 decrease in net gain on loan sales due to fewer originations of loans to be sold based on lower demand and a $139,000 decrease in commissions.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expenses increased $3.1 million, to $14.6 million, for the third quarter of 2018.

Total  $14,574   $11,445   $3,129    27.34%

 

Increases in non-interest expense were primarily due to the acquisition and integration of Universal, which included severance, integration and termination expenses. One-time pretax merger related expenses, primarily in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees and other expenses, were $238,000 in the third quarter of 2018 with no similar activity in the same period of 2017.

 

Income Tax Expense. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was 14.4% compared to 23.2% in the same quarter of 2017. The decrease was due to the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21% and an increase in tax free income partially due to an increase in holdings of tax free municipal securities.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

General. Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $13.6 million, or $1.60 diluted earnings per common share compared to net income available to common shareholders of $10.9 million, or $1.45 diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Annualized return on average assets was 0.95% and annualized return on average tangible common equity was 11.34% for the first nine months of 2018 compared to 0.92% and 10.14% respectively, for the same period of last year.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $14.4 million, or 32.9%, to $58.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $43.8 million during the same period in 2017. The increase was a result of an increase of $320.6 million in average interest-earning assets due to an increase in the average loan portfolio of $224.4 million along with an increase of thirty-six basis points in the average interest rate on average interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

 

 47

 

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.9 million, or 50.1%, to $11.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary reason for this increase was an increase of $234.9 million in average interest-bearing liabilities. This was primarily due to an increase in average deposits of $202.3 million. The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities also increased twenty-two basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

 

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $10.5 million for the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was a result of an increase of $320.6 million in average interest earning assets due primarily to an increase in the average loan portfolio of $224.4 million. This increase was aided by the net interest margin increasing to 3.47% in the first nine months of 2018 compared to 3.28% in the first nine months of 2017, while the tax equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.55% in the first nine months of 2018 compared to 3.38% in the comparable period in 2017. For more information on our asset/liability management especially as it relates to interest rate risk, see “Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2018 was $1.5 million compared to $870,000 during last year’s comparable period. The increase was primarily due to an increasing organic loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2018 were $898,000, or 0.09% of loans on an annualized basis compared to $874,000, or 0.10% in the same period of 2017.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared to same period in 2017.

The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $782,000 in service fee income primarily as a result of increasing interchange fees and increases due to the acquisition. An increase in other income of $361,000 was primarily a result of death benefits received in the first quarter of 2018. Gain on sale of investments increased $213,000 due to more sales during this period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $501,000 in net gain on sale of loans due to reduced mortgage banking activity.

Non-interest expenses increased by $9.6 million in the first nine months of 2018 directly related to the acquisition and integration expenses of Universal into MutualFirst. One-time pretax merger related expenses were approximately $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2018.

 

Income Tax Expense. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 was 13.3% compared to 24.4% for the same period in 2017. The decrease was due to the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21% and an increase in tax free income partially due to an increase in holdings of tax free municipal securities.

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This report on Form 10-Q contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to measure the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly compared GAAP financial measures are included in the table on the following page.

Liquidity

 

We are required to have enough cash and investments that qualify as liquid assets in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained.

 

Liquidity management involves the matching of cash flow requirements of customers, who may be either depositors desiring to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs and the ability of the Company to manage those requirements. The Company strives to maintain an adequate liquidity position by managing the balances and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities so that the balance it has in short-term investments at any given time will cover adequately any reasonably anticipated, immediate need for funds. Additionally, the Bank maintains relationships with correspondent banks, which could provide funds on short-term notice if needed. Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash-equivalents and investment securities, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the management of the Company and the Bank. It is overseen by the Asset and Liability Management Committee. The Board of Directors requires the Bank to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of 10% of deposits. At September 30, 2018, our ratio was 22.2%. The Company is currently in excess of the minimum liquidity ratio set by the Board due to a larger investment portfolio. Management continues to seek to utilize liquidity off of the investment portfolio to fund loan growth over the next few years as demand for loans increases. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities. The Bank uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits, fund deposit withdrawals and fund loan commitments.

 

We hold cash and investments that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation and meet demands for funds (particularly withdrawals of deposits). At September 30, 2018, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $392.6 million in cash and investment securities available for sale and $7.4 million in loans held for sale generally available for its cash needs. We can also generate funds from borrowings, primarily FHLB advances, portfolio loans, and, to a lesser degree, third party loans. At September 30, 2018, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $43.6 million in FHLB advances based on current pledged collateral. In addition, we have historically sold 15- and 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market in order to reduce interest rate risk and to create another source of liquidity. The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying amounts owed on its trust preferred securities, any dividends declared to its common stockholders, and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary source of funds is Bank dividends, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At September 30, 2018, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $3.4 million in cash, interest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs.

 

Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. We also generate cash through borrowings. We utilize FHLB advances to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and to enhance our interest rate risk management.

 

We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. At September 30, 2018, the approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $282.3 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less as of September 30, 2018, totaled $265.6 million. It is management’s policy to offer deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

 

Except as set forth above, management is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources or operations. Further, management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory agencies, which, if they were to be implemented, would have this effect.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

 

In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. We also have off-balance sheet obligations to repay borrowings and deposits. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At September 30, 2018, the Bank had $166.8 million in commitments to make loans, $12.0 million in undisbursed portions of closed loans, $101.5 million in unused lines of credit and $2.0 million in standby letters of credit. In addition, on a consolidated basis, at September 30, 2018, the Company had $279.1 million in outstanding borrowings, of which $122.4 million is due in the next twelve months.  

 

Capital Resources

 

The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. See ‘Item 1 - Business- How We Are Regulated - Regulatory Capital Requirements’ of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The FDIC may require the Bank to have additional capital above the specific regulatory levels if it believes the Bank is subject to increased risk due to asset problems, high interest rate risk and other risks. The Company is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FRB, which are substantially similar to those imposed on the Bank, including guidelines for bank holding companies to be considered well-capitalized.

 

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

 

The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) introduced a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (CET1), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consist of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 Capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) defined CET1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expanded the scope of the deductions/adjustments as compared to existing regulations.

 

Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 began on January 1, 2015, and will phase in over a four-year period (beginning at 40% on January 1, 2015, and an additional 20% per year thereafter). Under the new rule, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer composed of CET1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016, at the 0.625% level and will continue to phase in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). As of September 30, 2018, the Bank and Company exceeded the minimum buffer requirement.

Impact of Inflation

 

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the economic value of total assets, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) coincides with changes in interest rates. For example, the price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase the cost of funds. In other years, the opposite may occur.

 

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Information about the Company’s asset and liability management and market and interest-rate risks is included in Item 7A of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2018.

 

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

 

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally is established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is one of our most significant market risks.

 

Management continues to evaluate options to mitigate interest rate risk in an increasing interest rate environment during this cycle of extremely low interest rates. This includes shortening assets and lengthening liabilities when possible.

 

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk, we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on our results of operations, the Bank’s board of directors establishes asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

These asset and liability policies are implemented by the Asset and Liability Management Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and is comprised of members of our senior management team. The purpose of the Asset and Liability Management Committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management issues consistent with our business plan and board-approved policies. The committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objective of these actions is to manage assets and funding sources consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals. The Asset and Liability Management Committee generally meets monthly to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to a net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. At each meeting, the Asset and Liability Management Committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Board of Directors, at least quarterly.

 

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have sought to:

 

·originate and purchase adjustable rate mortgage loans and commercial business loans;
·originate shorter-duration consumer loans,
·manage our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,
·acquire longer-term borrowings at fixed rates, when appropriate, to offset the negative impact of longer-term fixed rate loans in our loan portfolio, and

 

 54

 

  

·limit the percentage of long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.

 

Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Asset and Liability Management Committee may increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin and improve earnings. We will continue to increase our emphasis on the origination of relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. In addition, in an effort to avoid an increase in the percentage of long-term, fixed-rate loans in our portfolio, during the first nine months of 2018 we sold in the secondary market $83.6 million of primarily fixed rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans with a term to maturity of 15 years or greater.

 

If past rate movements are an indication of future changes, they usually are neither instantaneous nor do a majority of core deposits reprice at the same level as rates change. The following chart reflects the Bank’s percentage change in net interest income, over a one year time period, and net portfolio value (NPV) assuming an instantaneous parallel rate shock in a range from down 100 basis points to up 400 basis points as of September 30, 2018.

  

   Percentage Change in 
   Net Interest Income   NPV 
Rate Shock:          
Up 400 basis points   (13.7)%   (25.5)%
Up 300 basis points   (9.8)%   (18.3)%
Up 200 basis points   (6.3)%   (11.7)%
Up 100 basis points   (3.0)%   (5.2)%
Down 100 basis points   (3.1)%   (5.8)%

 

The following chart indicates the Company’s percentage change in net interest income and NPV assuming rate movements that are not instantaneous, but change gradually over one year.

  

   Percentage Change in 
   Net Interest Income   NPV 
Rate Shock:          
Up 400 basis points   (3.8)%   (22.8)%
Up 300 basis points   (2.8)%   (16.3)%
Up 200 basis points   (1.8)%   (10.4)%
Up 100 basis points   (0.9)%   (4.6)%
Down 100 basis points   (3.1)%   (5.8)%

 

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the chart. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables. Therefore, the Company also considers potential interest rate shocks that are not immediate parallel shocks in various rate scenarios. Management currently believes that interest rate risk is managed appropriately in more practical rate shock scenarios than those in the chart above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and (as defined in sec Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate. An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of our senior management preceding the filing date of this annual report. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within MutualFirst have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgment in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
