are expressly qualified in their entirety by this Cautionary Note.
Our actual results may differ significantly from those we discuss
in these forward-looking statements. The factors identified in this
section are not intended to represent a complete list of all the

Home BancShares acquires, organizes and invests in community banks
that serve attractive markets. Our community banking team is built
around experienced bankers with strong local relationships. The
Company was formed in 1998 by an investor group led by John W.
Allison, our Chairman, and Robert H. “Bunny” Adcock, Jr., one of
our directors. Since opening our first subsidiary bank in 1999, we
have acquired and integrated a total of 23 banks with locations in
Arkansas, Florida, Texas and Alabama, including 18 banks since
2010, seven of which we acquired through Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transactions. Our subsidiary bank has
operated under a single charter and the Centennial Bank name since
2009. In 2015, after acquiring a pool of national commercial real
estate loans, we created Centennial Commercial Finance Group
(“Centennial CFG”) to build out a national lending platform focused
on commercial real estate as well as commercial and industrial
loans. Centennial CFG operates out of our New York City branch
office and loan production offices in Los Angeles, California,
Dallas, Texas and Miami, Florida. In 2018, we acquired Shore
Premier Finance (“SPF”), a marine-lending division of Union Bank
& Trust of Richmond, Virginia, and established the SPF division
of Centennial Bank to build out a lending platform focusing on
commercial and consumer marine loans. In 2020, we acquired
LH-Finance, the marine lending division of People’s United Bank,
N.A. of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and consolidated LH-Finance and
its loan portfolio with our SPF division. The SPF division operates
out of loan production offices in Chesapeake, Virginia and
Baltimore, Maryland. In 2022, we completed our largest acquisition
to-date and first in the state of Texas with the acquisition of
Happy Bancshares, Inc. and its bank subsidiary, Happy State Bank,
headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, on April 1, 2022.
Acquisitions
We believe many individuals and businesses prefer banking with a
locally managed community bank capable of providing flexibility and
quick decisions. The execution of our community banking strategy
has allowed us to rapidly build our network of banking operations
through acquisitions. The following summary provides additional
details concerning our acquisitions during the previous five fiscal
years.
Shore Premier Finance
– On June 30, 2018, the Company acquired Shore Premier Finance
(“SPF”), a division of Union Bank & Trust of Richmond,
Virginia, the bank subsidiary of Union Bankshares Corporation. The
Company paid a purchase price of approximately $377.4 million in
cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and 1,250,000
shares of HBI common stock valued at approximately $28.2 million at
the time of the acquisition. SPF provides direct consumer financing
for United States Coast Guard (“USCG”) registered high-end sail and
power boats. Additionally, SPF provides inventory floor plan lines
of credit to marine dealers, primarily those selling USCG
documented vessels.
Including the purchase accounting adjustments, as of acquisition
date, SPF had approximately $377.0 million in total assets,
including $376.2 million in total loans, which resulted in goodwill
of $30.5 million being recorded.
This portfolio of loans is now housed in a division of Centennial
Bank known as Shore Premier Finance. The SPF division of Centennial
Bank is responsible for servicing the acquired loan portfolio and
originating new loan production. In connection with this
acquisition, Centennial Bank opened a new loan production office in
Chesapeake, Virginia, to house the SPF division. Through the SPF
division, Centennial Bank is working to build out a lending
platform focusing on commercial and consumer marine
loans.
LH-Finance
– On February 29, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of
LH-Finance, the marine lending division of People’s United Bank,
N.A., for a cash purchase price of approximately $421.2 million.
Like SPF, LH-Finance provides direct consumer financing for USCG
registered high-end sail and power boats, as well as inventory
floor plan lines of credit to marine dealers, primarily those
selling USCG documented vessels.
Including the purchase accounting adjustments, as of the
acquisition date, LH-Finance had approximately $409.1 million in
total assets, including $407.4 million in total loans, which
resulted in goodwill of $14.6 million being recorded.
The acquired portfolio of loans is now housed in our SPF division.
The SPF division is responsible for servicing the acquired loan
portfolio and originating new loan production. In connection with
this acquisition, we opened a new loan production office in
Baltimore, Maryland.
LendingClub Bank Marine Portfolio
– On February 4, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of the
performing marine loan portfolio of Utah-based LendingClub Bank
(“LendingClub”). Under the terms of the purchase agreement with
LendingClub, the Company acquired approximately $242.2 million of
yacht loans. This portfolio of loans is housed within the Company's
SPF division, which is responsible for servicing the acquired loan
portfolio and originating new loan production.
Happy Bancshares, Inc.
– On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Happy
Bancshares, Inc. (“Happy”), and merged Happy State Bank into
Centennial Bank. The Company issued approximately 42.4 million
shares of its common stock valued at approximately $958.8 million
as of April 1, 2022. In addition, the holders of certain Happy
stock-based awards received approximately $3.7 million in cash in
cancellation of such awards, for a total transaction value of
approximately $962.5 million.
Including the effects of the known purchase accounting adjustments,
as of the acquisition date, Happy had approximately $6.69 billion
in total assets, $3.65 billion in loans and $5.86 billion in
customer deposits. Happy formerly operated its banking business
from 62 locations in Texas.

LendingClub's Marine Portfolio, see “Management’s Discussion and

Our Growth Strategy
Our goals are to achieve growth in earnings per share and to create
and build stockholder value. Our growth strategy entails the
following:
•Strategic
acquisitions
– Strategic acquisitions (both FDIC-assisted and non-FDIC-assisted)
have been a significant component of our historical growth
strategy, and we believe properly priced bank acquisitions can
continue to be a large part of our growth strategy. We completed
the acquisition of Happy Bancshares, Inc. headquartered in
Amarillo, Texas, during the second quarter of 2022. Our principal
acquisition focus in the near term will be to continue to expand
our presence in Texas, Arkansas, Florida and Alabama and into other
contiguous markets, although we may seek to expand into other areas
if attractive financial opportunities in other market areas arise.
We will continue to evaluate potential bank acquisition
opportunities to determine whether they are in the best interests
of our Company. Our goals in making these decisions are to maximize
the return to our shareholders and to enhance our
franchise.
•Organic
growth
– We believe our current branch network provides us with the
capacity to grow within our existing market areas. We also believe
we are well positioned to attract new business and additional
experienced personnel as a result of ongoing changes in our
competitive markets. We believe the markets we entered into as a
result of historical acquisitions provide us opportunities for
organic growth as we now have a presence in several large markets
where our market share has not previously been significant. Through
our Centennial CFG franchise, we are continuing to build out a
national lending platform that focuses on commercial real estate
plus commercial and industrial loans. Additionally, through our SPF
division, we are continuing to build a lending platform focusing on
commercial and consumer marine loans. As opportunities arise, we
will evaluate new (commonly referred to as
de novo)
branches in our current markets and in other attractive market
areas. We opened one
de novo
branch location during 2022 in Ft. Worth, Texas. We will continue
to evaluate
de novo
opportunities during 2023 and make decisions on a case-by-case
basis in the best interest of the shareholders.
Community Banking Philosophy
Our community banking philosophy consists of four basic
principles:
•manage
our community banking franchise with experienced bankers and
community bank boards who are empowered to make customer-related
decisions quickly;
•provide
exceptional service and develop strong customer
relationships;
•pursue
the business relationships of our local boards of directors,
executive officers, stockholders, and customers to actively promote
our community bank; and
•maintain
our commitment to the communities we serve by supporting civic and
nonprofit organizations.
These principles, which make up our community banking philosophy,
are the driving force for our business. As we streamlined our
legacy business into an efficient banking network and have
integrated new acquisitions, we have preserved lending authority
with local management in most cases by using local loan committees
that maintain an integral connection to the communities we serve.
These committees are empowered with lending authority of up to $6.0
million in their respective geographic areas. This allows us to
capitalize on the strong relationships that these individuals and
our local bank officers have in their respective communities to
maintain and grow our business. Through experienced and empowered
local bankers and board members, we are committed to maintaining a
community banking experience for our customers.
Operating Goals
Our operating goals focus on maintaining strong credit quality,
increasing profitability, finding experienced bankers, and
maintaining a “fortress” balance sheet:
•Maintain
strong credit quality
– Credit quality is our first priority. We employ a set of credit
standards designed to ensure the proper management of credit risk.
Our management team plays an active role in monitoring compliance
with these credit standards in the different communities served by
Centennial Bank. We have a centralized loan review process, which
we believe enables us to take prompt action on potential problem
loans. We have historically taken an aggressive approach to
resolving problem loans, including those problem loans acquired in
our FDIC-assisted and non-FDIC-assisted acquisitions. We are
committed to maintaining high credit quality
standards.
•Continue
to improve profitability
– We will continue to strive to improve our profitability and
achieve high performance ratios as we continue to utilize the
available capacity of branches and employees. We believe our
profitability is significantly tied to our focus on our efficiency
ratio, and we pride ourselves on operating in a highly efficient
manner. To achieve further improvements in operating efficiency, we
will continue to focus on increasing revenue from organic loan
growth, achieving cost savings from any acquisitions, developing
and implementing new efficiency initiatives, further streamlining
the processes in our lending and retail operations and improving
our purchasing power.
•Attract
and motivate experienced bankers
– We believe a major factor in our success has been our ability to
attract and motivate bankers who have experience in and knowledge
of their local communities. Historically, our hiring and retaining
experienced relationship bankers has been integral to our ability
to grow quickly when entering new markets.
•Maintain
a “fortress” balance sheet
– We intend to maintain a strong balance sheet through a focus on
four key governing principles: (1) maintain solid asset quality;
(2) remain well-capitalized; (3) pursue high performance metrics
including return on tangible equity (ROTE), return on assets (ROA),
efficiency ratio and net interest margin; and (4) retain liquidity
at the bank holding company level that can be utilized should
attractive acquisition opportunities be identified or for internal
capital needs. We strive to maintain capital levels above the
regulatory capital requirements through our focus on these
governing principles, which historically has allowed us to take
advantage of acquisition opportunities as they become available
without the need for additional capital.
Our Market Areas
As of December 31, 2022, we conducted business principally
through 76 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in Florida, 63
branches in Texas, five branches in Alabama and one branch in New
York City. Our branch footprint includes markets in which we are
the deposit market share leader as well as markets where we believe
we have opportunities for deposit market share growth. As of
December 31, 2022, we also operate loan production offices in
Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida and Dallas, Texas through
our Centennial CFG division and in Chesapeake, Virginia and
Baltimore, Maryland through our SPF division.
Lending Activities
We originate loans primarily secured by single and multi-family
real estate, residential construction and commercial buildings. In
addition, we make loans to small and medium-sized commercial
businesses as well as to consumers for a variety of
purposes.
Our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022, was comprised as

Real Estate – Non-farm/Non-residential.
Non-farm/non-residential real estate loans consist primarily of
loans secured by income-producing properties, such as
shopping/retail centers, hotel/motel properties, office buildings,
and industrial/warehouse properties. Commercial lending on
income-producing properties typically involves higher loan
principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is dependent,
in large part, on sufficient income from the properties
collateralizing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt
service. This category of loans also includes specialized
properties such as churches, marinas, and nursing homes.
Additionally, we make commercial mortgage loans to entities to
operate in these types of properties, and the repayment of these
loans is dependent, in large part, on the cash flow generated by
these entities in the operations of the business. Often, a
secondary source of repayment will include the sale of the subject
collateral. When this is the case, it is generally our practice to
obtain an independent appraisal of this collateral within the
Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines.
Real Estate – Construction/Land Development.
This category of loans includes loans to residential and commercial
developers to purchase raw land and to develop this land into
residential and commercial land developments. In addition, this
category includes construction loans for all of the types of real
estate loans, including both commercial and residential. These
loans are generally secured by a first lien on the real estate
being purchased or developed. Often, the primary source of
repayment will be the sale of the subject collateral. When this is
the case, it is generally our practice to obtain an independent
appraisal of this collateral within the Interagency Appraisal and
Evaluation Guidelines.
Real Estate – Residential.
Our residential mortgage loan program primarily originates loans to
individuals for the purchase of residential property. We generally
do not retain long-term, fixed-rate residential real estate loans
in our portfolio due to interest rate and collateral risks.
Residential mortgage loans to individuals retained in our loan
portfolio primarily consisted of approximately 42.3% owner occupied
1-4 family properties and approximately 47.6% non-owner occupied
1-4 family properties (rental) as of December 31, 2022 with
the remaining 10.1% relating to condos and mobile homes. The
primary source of repayment for these loans is generally the income
and/or assets of the individual to whom the loan is made. Often, a
secondary source of repayment will include the sale of the subject
collateral. When this is the case, it is generally our practice to
obtain an independent appraisal of this collateral within the
Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines.
Consumer.
While our focus is on service to small and medium-sized businesses,
we also make a variety of loans to individuals for personal, family
and household purposes, including secured and unsecured installment
and term loans originated by our bank, the primary portion of which
consists of loans to finance USCG registered high-end sail and
power boats through our SPF division. The primary source of
repayment for these loans is generally the income and/or assets of
the individual to whom the loan is made. The performance of
consumer loans will be affected by the local and regional economies
as well as the rates of personal bankruptcies, job loss, divorce
and other individual-specific characteristics. When secured, we may
independently assess the value of the collateral using a
third-party valuation source.
Commercial and Industrial.
Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio primarily consisted of
6.9% unsecured loans, 33.9% inventory/accounts receivable
financing, 8.1% equipment/vehicle financing and 51.1% other,
including letters of credit at less than 1%, as of
December 31, 2022. This category includes loans to smaller
business ventures, credit lines for working capital and short-term
inventory financing, for example. These loans are typically secured
by the assets of the business and are supplemented by personal
guaranties of the principals and often mortgages on the principals’
primary residences. The primary source of repayment may be
conversion of the assets into cash flow, as in inventory and
accounts receivable, or may be cash flow generated by operations,
as in equipment/vehicle financing. Assessing the value of inventory
can involve many factors including, but not limited to, type, age,
condition, level of conversion and marketability, and can involve
applying a discount factor or obtaining an independent valuation,
based on the assessment of the above factors. Assessing the value
of accounts receivable can involve many factors including, but not
limited to, concentration, aging, and industry, and can involve
applying a discount factor or obtaining an independent valuation,
based on the assessment of the above factors. Assessing the value
of equipment/vehicles may involve a third-party valuation source,
where applicable.
Agricultural Loans.
Agricultural loans include loans for financing agricultural
production, including loans to businesses or individuals engaged in
the production of timber, poultry, livestock or crops and are not
categorized as part of real estate loans. Our agricultural loans
are generally secured by farm machinery, livestock, crops, vehicles
or other agricultural-related collateral. A portion of our
portfolio of agricultural loans is comprised of loans to
individuals which would normally be characterized as consumer loans
except for the fact that the individual borrowers are primarily
engaged in the production of timber, poultry, livestock or
crops.
Credit Risks.
The principal economic risk associated with each category of the
loans that we make is the creditworthiness of the borrower and the
ability of the borrower to repay the loan. General economic
conditions and the strength of the services and retail market
segments affect borrower creditworthiness. General factors
affecting a commercial borrower’s ability to repay include interest
rates, inflation and the demand for the commercial borrower’s
products and services as well as other factors affecting a
borrower’s customers, suppliers and employees.
Risks associated with real estate loans also include fluctuations
in the value of real estate, new job creation trends, tenant
vacancy rates, and in the case of commercial borrowers, the quality
of the borrower’s management. Consumer loan repayments depend upon
the borrower’s financial stability and are more likely to be
adversely affected by divorce, job loss, illness and other personal
hardships.
Lending Policies.
We have established common loan documentation procedures and
policies, based on the type of loan, for our bank subsidiary. The
board of directors periodically reviews these policies for
validity. In addition, it has been and will continue to be our
practice to attempt to independently verify information provided by
our borrowers, including assets and income. We have not made loans
similar to those commonly referred to as “no doc” or “stated
income” loans. We focus on the primary and secondary methods of
repayment and prepare global cash flows where appropriate. There
are legal restrictions on the dollar amount of loans available for
each lending relationship. The Arkansas Banking Code provides that
no loan relationship may exceed 20% of a bank’s risk-based capital,
and we are in compliance with this restriction. In addition, we are
not dependent upon any single lending relationship for an amount
exceeding 10% of our revenues. As of December 31, 2022, the
maximum amount outstanding to a single borrower was $231.8 million.
As primarily a community lender, we believe from time to time it is
in our best interest to agree to modifications or restructurings.
These modifications/restructurings can take the form of a reduction
in interest rate, a move to interest-only from principal and
interest payments, or a lengthening in the amortization period or
any combination thereof. Occasionally, we will modify/restructure a
single loan by splitting it into two loans following the
interagency guidance involving the workout of commercial real
estate loans. The loan representing the portion that is supported
by the current cash flow of the borrower or project will remain on
our books, while the new loan representing the portion that cannot
be serviced by the current cash flow is charged-off. Furthermore,
we may make an additional loan or loans to a borrower or related
interest of a borrower who is past due more than 90 days. These
circumstances will be very limited in nature, and when approved by
the appropriate lending authority, will likely involve obtaining
additional collateral that will improve the collectability of the
overall relationship. It is our belief that judicious usage of
these tools can improve the quality of our loan portfolio by
providing our borrowers an improved probability of survival during
difficult economic times.
Loan Approval Procedures.
Our bank subsidiary has supplemented our common loan policies to
establish its loan approval procedures as follows:
•Individual
Authorities.
The board of directors of Centennial Bank establishes the
authorization levels for individual loan officers on a case-by-case
basis. Generally, the more experienced a loan officer, the higher
the authorization level. The approval authority for individual loan
officers ranges from $5,000 to $3.0 million for secured loans and
from $1,000 to $3.0 million for unsecured loans.
•Officers’
Loan Committees.
Our bank subsidiary also gives its Officers’ Loan Committees loan
approval authority. Credits in excess of individual loan limits are
submitted to the region’s Officers’ Loan Committee. The Officers’
Loan Committee consists of members of the senior management team of
that region and is chaired by that region’s chief lending officer.
The regional Officers’ Loan Committees have approval authority of
up to $2.0 million secured on all loans and $100,000 unsecured on
loan renewals.
•Directors’
Loan Committee.
Our bank subsidiary has Directors’ Loan Committees (“DLCs”)
throughout our market areas consisting of outside directors and
senior lenders of the respective market areas. Generally, each DLC
requires a majority of outside directors be present to establish a
quorum. Generally, this committee is chaired either by the Division
Chief Lending Officer or the Regional President. The regional DLCs
have approval authority up to $6.0 million secured and $500,000
unsecured.
•Executive
Loan Committee –
The board of directors of Centennial Bank established the Executive
Loan Committee consisting of outside board members and members of
executive management. This committee requires five voting members
to establish a quorum, including at least two of the outside board
members, and is chaired by the Chief Lending Officer of the bank.
The Executive Loan Committee has approval authority up to the
Bank’s legal lending limit, subject to exception approval by the
full Board for single loans over $100 million or relationships over
$200 million. In addition, any relationship above $40 million must
have the specific approval of two of the following: the Chairman,
the Vice Chairman or our director Richard H. Ashley.
Currently, our board of directors has established an in-house
consolidated lending limit of $40.0 million to any one borrowing
relationship without obtaining the approval of two of the
following: the Chairman, Vice Chairman or our director Richard H.
Ashley. We have 76 separate relationships that exceed this in-house
limit.
Deposits and Other Sources of Funds
Our principal source of funds for loans and investing in securities
is core deposits. We offer a wide range of deposit services,
including checking, savings, money market accounts and certificates
of deposit. We obtain most of our deposits from individuals and
small businesses, and municipalities in our market areas. We
believe that the rates we offer for core deposits are competitive
with those offered by other financial institutions in our market
areas. Additionally, our policy also permits the acceptance of
brokered deposits. Secondary sources of funding include advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, the Federal Reserve Bank
Discount Window and other borrowings. These secondary sources
enable us to borrow funds at rates and terms which, at times, are
more beneficial to us.
Other Banking Services
Given customer demand for increased convenience and account access,
we offer a range of products and services, including 24-hour
internet banking, mobile banking and voice response information,
cash management, overdraft protection, direct deposit, safe deposit
boxes, United States savings bonds and automatic account transfers.
We earn fees for most of these services. We also receive ATM
transaction fees from transactions performed by our customers
participating in a shared network of automated teller machines and
a debit card system that our customers can use throughout the
United States, as well as in other countries.
Insurance
Centennial Insurance Agency, Inc. is an independent insurance
agency, originally founded in 1959 and purchased by Centennial Bank
in 2000. Centennial Insurance Agency writes policies for commercial
and personal lines of business including insurance for property,
casualty, life, health and employee benefits. It is subject to
regulation by the Arkansas Insurance Department. The offices of
Centennial Insurance Agency are currently located in Jacksonville,
Cabot and Conway, Arkansas.
Cook Insurance Agency, Inc. is an independent insurance agency,
originally founded in 1913 and acquired by Centennial Bank in 2010
during our FDIC-assisted acquisition of Gulf State Community Bank.
Cook Insurance Agency writes policies for commercial and personal
lines of business including life insurance. It is subject to
regulation by the Florida Insurance Department. The offices of Cook
Insurance Agency are located in Apalachicola and Crawfordville,
Florida.
Competition
As of December 31, 2022, we conducted business through 223
branch locations in our primary market areas of Pulaski, Faulkner,
Craighead, Lonoke, Pope, Washington, White, Benton, Greene,
Sebastian, Cleburne, Independence, Stone, Baxter, Clay, Conway,
Crawford, Johnson, Saline, Sharp and Yell counties in Arkansas;
Broward, Monroe, Hillsborough, Leon, Sarasota, Bay, Franklin, Palm
Beach, Gulf, Charlotte, Collier, Escambia, Orange, Osceola, Pasco,
Pinellas, Polk, Walton, Miami-Dade, Lee, Calhoun, Gadsden,
Hernando, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Seminole, Wakulla and
Manatee counties in Florida; Bailey; Briscoe; Carson; Castro;
Collin; Comal; Dallam; Dallas; Deaf Smith; Floyd; Garza; Gillespie;
Gray; Hale; Hall; Hemphill; Hutchinson; Kendall; Kerr; Lamb;
Lipscomb; Lubbock; Lynn; Moore; Motley; Potter; Randall; Sherman;
Swisher; Tarrant; Taylor; Travis; Wheeler and Williamson counties
in Texas; Baldwin County in Alabama; and New York County in New
York. Many other commercial banks, savings institutions and credit
unions have offices in our primary market areas. These institutions
include many of the largest banks operating in these respective
states, including some of the largest banks in the country. Many of
our competitors serve the same counties we do. Our competitors
often have greater resources, have broader geographic markets, have
higher lending limits, offer various services that we may not
currently offer and may better afford and make broader use of media
advertising, support services and electronic technology than we do.
To offset these competitive disadvantages, we depend on our
reputation as having greater personal service, consistency, and
flexibility and the ability to make credit and other business
decisions quickly.
Human Capital Resources
General.
Our community banking philosophy relies heavily on the personal
relationships and the quality of service provided by employees. We
rely on experienced bankers and community bank boards who are
empowered to make customer-related decisions quickly. Experienced
and empowered local bankers and board members facilitate our
commitment to provide exceptional service and develop strong
customer relationships. At the local level, we have preserved
lending authority by using local loan committees that maintain an
integral connection to the communities we serve, which allows us to
capitalize on the strong relationships that these individuals and
our local bank officers have in their respective communities to
maintain and grow our business. Accordingly, we aim to attract,
develop and retain employees who can drive financial and strategic
growth objectives and build long-term shareholder value while
executing our community banking philosophy.
On December 31, 2022, we had 2,774 full-time equivalent
employees. Except for any additional employees acquired in future
acquisitions, we expect that our 2023 staffing levels will be
slightly higher than those at year end 2022 to meet increased
regulatory requirements. We consider our employee relations to be
good, and we have no collective bargaining agreements with any
employees.
In managing the Company’s business, management focuses on various
human capital measures and objectives designed to address the
development, attraction and retention of personnel. These include
competitive compensation and benefits, paid time off, an employee
retirement plan, bonus and other incentive compensation plans,
modern equipment and support, leadership development and
professional development as well as those benefits described
below.
Diversity and Inclusion.
We seek to recognize the unique contribution each individual brings
to the Company, and we understand the associated value that comes
with a diverse workforce. We strive to offer an inclusive
environment where employees from all backgrounds can succeed. As of
December 31, 2022, 70% of our employees were women and 26% of
our employees identify as a person of color. Further, as of
December 31, 2022, 60% of the Company’s leadership positions
were held by women.
Employee Safety and Health.
The health and well-being of our employees is a priority for our
business. Our full-time officers and employees are provided
hospitalization and major medical insurance. We pay a substantial
part of the premiums for these coverages. We also provide other
basic insurance coverage including dental, life, and long-term
disability insurance.
Although our offices have generally returned to a normal working
environment following the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to support
working remotely for those employees who have a need to telework
for health reasons and in certain other circumstances. We also
stand ready to re-implement COVID-19 safety protocols should
circumstances dictate due a future outbreak of the virus or another
public health crisis.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
We and our bank subsidiary are subject to extensive state and
federal banking regulations that impose restrictions on and provide
for general regulatory oversight of our company and its operations.
These laws generally are intended to protect depositors, the
deposit insurance fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) and the banking system as a whole, and not
shareholders.
The following discussion describes significant elements of the
regulatory framework that applies to us. This description is a
summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes, regulations
and policies that are described. Also, such statutes, regulations
and policies are continually under review by Congress and state
legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies. A change in
statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to us and
our subsidiaries could have a material effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Because our bank
subsidiary’s total assets exceed $10 billion, it is subject to
additional supervision and regulation, including by the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), with such additional
supervision and regulation discussed throughout this
section.
Home BancShares
We are a bank holding company registered under the federal Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “Bank Holding Company Act”), and
we and our subsidiaries are subject to supervision, regulation and
examination by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank Holding Company
Act and other federal laws subject bank holding companies to
particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they
may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and
activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations
of laws and regulations. The Bank Holding Company Act provides
generally for “umbrella” regulation of bank holding companies by
the Federal Reserve Board and functional regulation of banking
activities by bank regulators, securities activities by securities
regulators, and insurance activities by insurance
regulators.
Dodd Frank and the EGRRCPA.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) made extensive changes in the
regulation of financial institutions and their holding companies.
The Dodd-Frank Act contains a comprehensive set of provisions
designed to govern the practices and oversight of financial
institutions and other participants in the financial markets. The
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act
(the “EGRRCPA”), signed into law in May 2018, made certain limited
amendments to the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as certain targeted
modifications to other post-financial crisis regulations. Some of
the Dodd-Frank Act and EGRRCPA provisions are described in more
detail below.
Permitted Activities.
A bank holding company is generally permitted under the Bank
Holding Company Act to engage in or acquire direct or indirect
control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged
in the following activities:
•banking
or managing or controlling banks; and
•any
activity that the Federal Reserve Board determines to be so closely
related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of
banking.
Activities that the Federal Reserve Board has found to be so
closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the
business of banking include but are not limited to: factoring
accounts receivable; making, acquiring, brokering or servicing
loans and usual related activities; leasing personal or real
property; operating a non-bank depository institution, such as a
savings association; trust company functions; financial and
investment advisory activities; conducting securities brokerage
activities; underwriting and dealing in government obligations and
money market instruments; providing specified management consulting
and counseling activities; performing selected data processing
services and support services; acting as agent or broker in selling
credit life insurance and other types of insurance in connection
with credit transactions; and performing selected insurance
underwriting activities.
Support of Subsidiary Institutions.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to act as a source of
financial strength for our bank subsidiary and to commit resources
to support the bank. The Dodd-Frank Act gives the Federal Reserve
the authority to require us to make capital injections into our
bank subsidiary and to charge us with engaging in unsafe and
unsound practices if we fail to commit resources to our bank
subsidiary or if we undertake actions that the Federal Reserve
believes might jeopardize our ability to commit resources to the
bank. As a result, an obligation to support our bank subsidiary may
be required at times when, without this requirement, we might not
be inclined to provide it.
Safe and Sound Banking Practices.
Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsafe and
unsound banking practices. The Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation
Y, for example, generally requires a holding company to give the
Federal Reserve Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase
of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid,
together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or
redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10% or more of the
company’s consolidated net worth. Additionally, the Federal Reserve
Board requires prior approval of any redemption or repurchase of
preferred stock or subordinated debt. The Federal Reserve Board may
oppose the transaction if it believes that the transaction would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law
or regulation. Depending upon the circumstances, the Federal
Reserve Board could take the position that paying a dividend would
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice.
The Federal Reserve Board has broad authority to prohibit
activities of bank holding companies and their non-banking
subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices,
or which constitute violations of laws or regulations, and can
assess civil money penalties for certain activities conducted on a
knowing and reckless basis, if those activities caused a
substantial loss to a depository institution. The penalties can be
as high as approximately $2 million for each day the activity
continues.
Annual Reporting; Examinations.
We are required to file annual reports with the Federal Reserve
Board, and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board
may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act. The Federal
Reserve Board may examine a bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries and charge the company for the cost of such
examination.
Capital Adequacy Requirements.
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a system using risk-based
capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding
companies having $500 million or more in assets on a consolidated
basis. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets are
assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived
credit risk of the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by
corresponding asset balances to determine a “risk-weighted” asset
base.
The current risk-based capital requirements applicable to all
depository institutions and bank holding companies with total
consolidated assets of $500 million or more and savings and loan
holding companies (collectively, “banking organizations”), and the
method for calculating risk-weighted assets, are based on
agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in
“Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks
and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”) and certain provisions of the
Dodd-Frank Act, as modified by certain capital simplification rules
adopted by the Federal Reserve Board and other federal bank
regulatory agencies in 2019. The final rule adopted by the Federal
Reserve Board and other federal bank regulatory agencies in 2013
based on Basel III (the “Basel III final rule”) requires us to
maintain minimum capital ratios with respect to common equity Tier
1 (“CET1”) capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital (Tier 1
capital plus Tier 2 capital), each as compared to our risk-weighted
assets, as well as a “leverage ratio” calculated as the ratio of
Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on
consolidated financial statements. The Basel III final rule also
limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain
discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not
hold a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% of CET1 capital to
risk-weighted assets, which is in addition to the amount necessary
to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.
The required minimum capital and leverage ratios under the Basel
III capital adequacy requirements in effect as of December 31,
2022, including the required capital conservation buffer, consist
of CET1 capital of 7.0% (4.5% plus the required 2.5% capital
conservation buffer), Tier 1 risk-based capital of 8.5% (6.0% plus
the required 2.5% capital conservation buffer), total risk-based
capital of 10.5% (8.0% plus the required 2.5% capital conservation
buffer) and a leverage ratio of 4.0%. As of December 31, 2022,
our capital conservation buffer was 6.91%, and our CET1 capital,
Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage
ratios were 12.91%, 12.91, 16.54 and 10.86,
respectively.
The Basel III final rule adopted in 2013 permanently grandfathered
trust preferred securities and other non-qualifying capital
instruments that were issued and outstanding as of May 19, 2010 in
the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies with total
consolidated assets of less than $15 billion as of December 31,
2009. The rule phased out of Tier 1 capital these non-qualifying
capital instruments issued before May 19, 2010 by all other bank
holding companies. Because our total consolidated assets were less
than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, our outstanding trust
preferred securities continued to be treated as Tier 1 capital
until the completion of our acquisition of Happy Bancshares on
April 1, 2022, after which those securities were treated as Tier 2
capital. During the second and third quarters of 2022, the Company
redeemed, without penalty, all of its outstanding trust preferred
securities. As a result, the Company no longer holds any trust
preferred securities.
The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage ratios are
minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking
organizations that meet certain specified criteria. The federal
bank regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a
particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum
ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal Reserve Board guidelines
also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal
growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong
capital positions, substantially above the minimum supervisory
levels, without significant reliance on intangible
assets.
The Dodd-Frank Act includes certain provisions concerning the
capital regulations of the federal banking agencies. These
provisions, often referred to as the “Collins Amendment,” are
intended to subject bank holding companies to the same capital
requirements as their bank subsidiaries and to eliminate or
significantly reduce the use of hybrid capital instruments,
especially trust preferred securities, as regulatory capital. The
Collins Amendment requires banking regulators to develop
regulations setting minimum risk-based and leverage capital
requirements for holding companies and banks on a consolidated
basis that are no less stringent than the generally applicable
requirements in effect for depository institutions under the prompt
corrective action regulations discussed below. The banking
regulators also must seek to make capital standards countercyclical
so that the required levels of capital increase in times of
economic expansion and decrease in times of economic
contraction.
Prompt Corrective Action.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
or “FDICIA” establishes a system of prompt corrective action to
resolve the problems of undercapitalized financial institutions.
Under this system, the federal banking regulators have established
five capital categories (well-capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically
undercapitalized) in which all institutions are placed. Federal
banking regulators are required to take various mandatory
supervisory actions and are authorized to take other discretionary
actions with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized
categories. The severity of the action depends upon the capital
category in which the institution is placed. The federal banking
agencies have specified by regulation the relevant capital level
for each category.
An institution that is categorized as undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized is
required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its
appropriate federal banking agency. An undercapitalized institution
is also generally prohibited from increasing its average total
assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging
in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital
restoration plan or with FDIC approval. The regulations also
establish procedures for downgrading an institution to a lower
capital category based on supervisory factors other than
capital.
The Basel III final rule amended the prompt corrective action rules
to incorporate a CET1 capital requirement and to raise the capital
requirements for certain capital categories. In order to be
adequately capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action
rules, a banking organization is required to have at least an 8%
total risk-based capital ratio, a 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio, a CET1 4.5% risk-based capital ratio and a 4% Tier 1
leverage ratio. To be well-capitalized, a banking organization is
required to have at least a 10% total risk-based capital ratio, an
8% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, a 6.5% CET1 risk-based capital
ratio and a 5% Tier 1 leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2022, we
met all capital adequacy requirements and our bank subsidiary is
considered well-capitalized for regulatory purposes.
Liquidity Requirements.
The Basel III liquidity framework requires banks and bank holding
companies to measure their liquidity against specific liquidity
tests. One test, referred to as the liquidity coverage ratio
(“LCR”), is designed to ensure that the banking entity maintains an
adequate level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets equal to
the entity’s expected net cash outflow for a 30-day time horizon
(or, if greater, 25% of its expected total cash outflow) under an
acute liquidity stress scenario. The other test, referred to as the
net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”), is designed to promote more
medium- and long-term funding of the assets and activities of
banking entities over a one-year time horizon. These requirements
are expected to incent banking entities to increase their holdings
of U.S. Treasury securities and other sovereign debt as a component
of assets and increase the use of long-term debt as a funding
source. Rules applicable to certain large banking organizations
have been implemented for LCR and for NSFR; however, based on our
asset size, these rules do not currently apply to us or our bank
subsidiary.
Stress Testing.
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, in October 2012, the Federal
Reserve Board published its final rules regarding company-run
stress testing. The rules required institutions with average total
consolidated assets greater than $10 billion, such as the Company
and our bank subsidiary, to conduct an annual company-run stress
test of capital and consolidated earnings and losses under one base
and at least two stress scenarios provided by bank regulatory
agencies. The EGRRCPA raised the asset thresholds for Dodd-Frank
Act company-run stress testing, liquidity coverage and living will
requirements for bank holding companies to $250 billion, subject to
the ability of the Fed to apply such requirements to institutions
with assets of $100 billion or more to address financial stability
risks or safety and soundness concerns. On July 6, 2018, the
Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the “OCC”) issued a joint interagency statement regarding
the impact of the EGRRCPA. As a result of this statement and the
EGRRCPA, we and our bank subsidiary are no longer subject to
Dodd-Frank Act stress testing requirements. Notwithstanding these
amendments to the stress testing requirements, the federal banking
agencies indicated through interagency guidance that the capital
planning and risk management practices of institutions with total
assets less than $100 billion would continue to be reviewed through
the regular supervisory process. We will continue to monitor our
capital consistent with the safety and soundness expectations of
the federal regulators.
Risk Management.
Regulation YY initially required publicly-traded bank holding
companies with $10 billion or more in total assets to establish a
risk committee responsible for oversight of enterprise-wide risk
management practices. The committee must be chaired by an
independent director and include at least one risk management
expert with experience in managing risk exposures of large, complex
firms. As a result of our total assets exceeding $10 billion, we
established a risk committee meeting these requirements. However,
in 2018 the EGRRCPA increased the asset threshold for mandatory
risk committees from $10 billion to $50 billion in total assets.
While we are no longer required to maintain a risk committee, we
currently continue to utilize our risk committee to oversee our
enterprise-wide risk management practices.
Regulation YY also requires us, as a publicly-traded bank holding
company with $10 billion or more in total consolidated assets, to
have a global risk management framework commensurate with their
structure, risk profile, complexity, activities, and size. The risk
management framework must include risk management policies and
procedures, as well as processes and controls to implement them.
Accordingly, we have adopted a compliant risk management
framework.
Payment of Dividends.
We are a legal entity separate and distinct from our bank
subsidiary and other affiliated entities. The principal sources of
our cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to our
shareholders, are dividends that our bank subsidiary pays to us as
its sole shareholder. Statutory and regulatory limitations apply to
the dividends that our bank subsidiary can pay to us, as well as to
the dividends we can pay to our shareholders.
The policy of the Federal Reserve Board that a bank holding company
should serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary bank also
results in the position of the Federal Reserve Board that a bank
holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends to
its shareholders that places undue pressure on the capital of its
bank subsidiary or that can be funded only through additional
borrowings or other arrangements that may undermine the bank
holding company’s ability to serve as such a source of strength.
Our ability to pay dividends is also subject to the provisions of
Arkansas law.
There are certain state-law limitations on the payment of dividends
by our bank subsidiary. Centennial Bank, which is subject to
Arkansas banking laws, may not declare or pay a dividend of 75% or
more of the net profits of such bank after all taxes for the
current year plus 75% of the retained net profits for the
immediately preceding year without the prior approval of the
Arkansas State Bank Commissioner (the “Bank Commissioner”). Members
of the Federal Reserve System must also comply with the dividend
restrictions with which a national bank would be required to
comply. Among other things, these restrictions require that if
losses have at any time been sustained by a bank equal to or
exceeding its undivided profits then on hand, no dividend may be
paid. Although we have historically paid quarterly dividends on our
common stock, there can be no assurances that we will be able to
pay dividends in the future under the applicable regulatory
limitations.
The payment of dividends by us, or by our bank subsidiary, may also
be affected by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain
adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The federal banking
agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a
depository institution’s capital base to an inadequate level would
be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under FDICIA, as
discussed below, a depository institution may not pay any dividend
if payment would result in the depository institution being
undercapitalized.
Acquisitions of Banks.
The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to
obtain the Federal Reserve Board’s prior approval
before:
•acquiring
direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any
bank if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company will
directly or indirectly own or control more than 5% of the bank’s
voting shares;
•acquiring
all or substantially all of the assets of any bank; or
•merging
or consolidating with any other bank holding company.
Under the Bank Holding Company Act, if well-capitalized and well
managed, we, as well as other bank holding companies located within
the states in which we operate, may purchase a bank located outside
of those states. Conversely, a well-capitalized and well managed
bank holding company located outside of the states in which we
operate may purchase a bank located inside those states. In each
case, however, restrictions may be placed on the acquisition of a
bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time
or will result in specified concentrations of deposits. In
approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal
Reserve Board is required to consider, among other things, the
financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank
holding company and the banks concerned, the convenience and needs
of the communities to be served and various competitive
factors.
Subsidiary Bank
General.
Our bank subsidiary, Centennial Bank, is chartered as an Arkansas
state bank and is a member of the Federal Reserve System, making it
primarily subject to regulation and supervision by both the Federal
Reserve Board and the Arkansas State Bank Department. In addition,
our bank subsidiary is subject to various requirements and
restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to
maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and
amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that they may
charge, and limitations on the types of investments they may make
and on the types of services they may offer. Various consumer laws
and regulations also affect the operations of our bank subsidiary.
Further, because our bank subsidiary has total assets of over $10
billion, it is subject to supervision and regulation by the CFPB,
which is responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing
compliance with federal consumer protection laws.
Deposit Insurance and Assessments.
Centennial Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to applicable
limits by the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). The Dodd-Frank
Act permanently increased the deposit coverage limit to $250,000
per depositor retroactive to January 1, 2008.
The FDIC imposes an assessment against institutions for deposit
insurance. This assessment is based primarily on the risk category
of the institution and certain risk adjustments specified by the
FDIC, with riskier institutions paying higher assessments. Under
the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions with
at least $10 billion in assets are assessed on the basis of a
scoring system that combines the institution’s regulatory ratings
and certain financial measures. The scoring system assesses risk
measures to produce two scores, a performance score and a loss
severity score, that will be combined and converted to an initial
assessment rate. The performance score measures an institution’s
financial performance and its ability to withstand stress. The loss
severity score quantifies the relative magnitude of potential
losses to the FDIC in the event of an institution’s failure. Once
the performance and loss severity scores are calculated, these
scores will be converted to a total score. The FDIC has the
authority to raise or lower assessment rates, subject to limits,
and to impose special additional assessments.
In 2011, the FDIC approved a final rule implementing changes to the
deposit insurance assessment system, as authorized by the
Dodd-Frank Act, which, among other things, changed the assessment
base for insured depository institutions from adjusted domestic
deposits to the institution’s average consolidated total assets
during an assessment period less average tangible equity capital
(Tier 1 capital) during that period. The rule revised the
assessment rate schedule so that it ranged from 2.5 basis points
for the least risky institutions to 45 basis points for the
riskiest institutions. The rule also suspended indefinitely the
requirement of the FDIC to pay dividends from the DIF when it
reaches 1.5% of insured deposits. In October 2022, the FDIC adopted
a final rule to increase the initial base deposit insurance
assessment rate schedules uniformly by 2 basis points beginning
with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023.
The increased assessment is expected to improve the likelihood that
the DIF reserve ratio would reach the statutory minimum of 1.35% by
the deadline prescribed under the FDIC’s amended restoration
plan.
The new assessment rate schedules will remain in effect unless and
until the reserve ratio meets or exceeds 2 percent in order to
support growth in the DIF in progressing toward the FDIC’s
long-term goal of a 2 percent reserve ratio.
Progressively lower assessment rate schedules will take effect when
the reserve ratio reaches 2 percent, and again when it reaches 2.5
percent.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, the FDIC may
terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has
engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound
condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable
law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the
FDIC.
Community Reinvestment Act.
The Community Reinvestment Act requires, in connection with
examinations of financial institutions, that federal banking
regulators evaluate the record of each financial institution in
meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low and
moderate-income neighborhoods. These facts are also considered in
evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch
or facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could impose
additional requirements and limitations on our bank subsidiary.
Additionally, we must publicly disclose the terms of various
Community Reinvestment Act-related agreements. Our bank subsidiary
received a “satisfactory” CRA rating from the Federal Reserve Bank
during its last exam as published in our bank’s CRA Public
Evaluation.
Capital Requirements.
Our bank subsidiary is also subject to certain restrictions on the
payment of dividends as a result of the requirement that it
maintain adequate levels of capital in accordance with guidelines
promulgated from time to time by applicable regulators. The
regulating agencies consider a bank’s capital levels when taking
action on various types of applications and when conducting
supervisory activities related to the safety and soundness of
individual banks and the banking system. The Federal Reserve Bank
monitors the capital adequacy of our bank subsidiary by using a
combination of risk-based guidelines and leverage
ratios.
The FDIC Improvement Act.
FDICIA made a number of reforms addressing the safety and soundness
of the deposit insurance system, supervision of domestic and
foreign depository institutions, and improvement of accounting
standards. This statute also limited deposit insurance coverage,
implemented changes in consumer protection laws and provided for
least-cost resolution and prompt regulatory action with regard to
troubled institutions.
FDICIA requires every bank with total assets in excess of $500
million to have an annual independent audit made of the bank’s
financial statements by an independent public accountant to verify
that the financial statements of the bank are presented fairly and
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
comply with such other disclosure requirements as prescribed by the
FDIC. FDICIA also places certain restrictions on activities of
banks depending on their level of capital.
The capital classification of a bank affects the frequency of
examinations of the bank and impacts the ability of the bank to
engage in certain activities and affects the deposit insurance
premiums paid by such bank. Under FDICIA, the federal banking
regulators are required to conduct a full-scope, on-site
examination of every bank at least once every 12
months.
Brokered Deposits.
Under FDICIA, banks may be restricted in their ability to accept
brokered deposits, depending on their capital classification.
“Well-capitalized” banks are permitted to accept brokered deposits,
but banks that are not well-capitalized are not permitted to accept
such deposits. The FDIC may, on a case-by-case basis, permit banks
that are adequately capitalized to accept brokered deposits if the
FDIC determines that acceptance of such deposits would not
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice with respect to
the bank. The EGRRCPA, enacted in May 2018, provides that most
reciprocal deposits are no longer treated as brokered
deposits.
Federal Home Loan Bank System.
The Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system, of which our bank
subsidiary is a member, consists of regional FHLBs governed and
regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA. The FHLBs
serve as reserve or credit facilities for member institutions
within their assigned regions. They are funded primarily from
proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the
FHLB system. They make loans (i.e., advances) to members in
accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHLB and
the boards of directors of each regional FHLB.
As a system member, our bank subsidiary is entitled to borrow from
the FHLB of its region and is required to own a certain amount of
capital stock in the FHLB. Our bank subsidiary is in compliance
with the stock ownership rules with respect to such advances,
commitments and letters of credit and home mortgage loans and
similar obligations. All loans, advances and other extensions of
credit made by the FHLB to our bank subsidiary are secured by a
portion of its respective loan portfolio, certain other investments
and the capital stock of the FHLB held by such bank.
Federal Reserve System.
In January 2019, the Federal Open Market Committee announced its
intention to implement monetary policy in an ample reserves regime.
Reserve requirements do not play a significant role in this
operating framework. In light of the shift to an ample reserves
regime, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratios
to zero percent effective on March 26, 2020. As a result, the Bank
is no longer required to maintain required reserve balance with
either the FRB or in the form of cash on hand.
Concentrated Commercial Real Estate Lending Regulations.
The federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, have promulgated
guidance governing financial institutions with concentrations in
commercial real estate lending. The guidance provides that a bank
has a concentration in commercial real estate lending if (1) total
reported loans for construction, land development and other land
represent 100% or more of total capital or (2) total reported loans
secured by multifamily and non-farm residential properties and
loans for construction, land development and other land represent
300% or more of total capital and the bank’s commercial real estate
loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36
months. Owner occupied loans are excluded from this second
category. If a concentration is present, management must employ
heightened risk management practices that address the following key
elements: including board and management oversight and strategic
planning, portfolio management, development of underwriting
standards, risk assessment and monitoring through market analysis
and stress testing, and maintenance of increased capital levels as
needed to support the level of commercial real estate
lending.
Mortgage Banking Operations.
Our bank subsidiary is subject to the rules and regulations of FHA,
VA, FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA with respect to originating, processing,
selling and servicing mortgage loans and the issuance and sale of
mortgage-backed securities. Those rules and regulations, among
other things, prohibit discrimination and establish underwriting
guidelines which include provisions for inspections and appraisals,
require credit reports on prospective borrowers and fix maximum
loan amounts, and, with respect to VA loans, fix maximum interest
rates.
Consumer Financial Protection.
Our bank subsidiary is subject to a number of federal and state
consumer protection laws that extensively govern its relationship
with its customers. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the
Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the
Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act,
the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act,
the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Service Members Civil
Relief Act and these laws’ respective state-law counterparts, as
well as state usury laws and laws regarding unfair and deceptive
acts and practices. These and other federal laws, among other
things, require disclosures of the cost of credit and terms of
deposit accounts, provide substantive consumer rights, prohibit
discrimination in credit transactions, regulate the use of credit
report information, provide financial privacy protections, prohibit
unfair, deceptive and abusive practices, restrict the bank’s
ability to raise interest rates and subject the bank to substantial
regulatory oversight. Violations of applicable consumer protection
laws can result in significant potential liability from litigation
brought by customers, including actual damages, restitution and
attorneys’ fees. Federal bank regulators, state attorneys general
and state and local consumer protection agencies may also seek to
enforce consumer protection requirements and obtain these and other
remedies, including regulatory sanctions, customer rescission
rights, action by the state and local attorneys general in each
jurisdiction in which our bank subsidiary operates and civil money
penalties. Failure to comply with consumer protection requirements
may also result in our bank subsidiary’s failure to obtain any
required bank regulatory approval for merger or acquisition
transactions the bank may wish to pursue or its prohibition from
engaging in such transactions even if approval is not
required.
The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has supervisory
authority over depository institutions with total assets of $10
billion or greater. The CFPB focuses its supervision and regulatory
efforts on (1) risks to consumers and compliance with the federal
consumer financial laws when it evaluates the policies and
practices of a financial institution; (2) the markets in which
firms operate and risks to consumers posed by activities in those
markets; (3) depository institutions that offer a wide variety of
consumer financial products and services; (4) certain depository
institutions with a more specialized focus; and (5) non-depository
companies that offer one or more consumer financial products or
services.
The CFPB has broad rulemaking authority for a wide range of
consumer financial laws that apply to all banks, including, among
other things, the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or
abusive” acts and practices. Abusive acts or practices are defined
as those that materially interfere with a consumer’s ability to
understand a term or condition of a consumer financial product or
service or take unreasonable advantage of a consumer’s (1) lack of
financial savvy, (2) inability to protect himself in the selection
or use of consumer financial products or services or (3) reasonable
reliance on a covered entity to act in the consumer’s interests.
The CFPB can issue cease-and-desist orders against banks and other
entities that violate consumer financial laws. The CFPB may also
institute a civil action against an entity in violation of federal
consumer financial law in order to impose a civil penalty or
injunction. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over
all banks with more than $10 billion in assets, as well as their
affiliates.
Loans to One Borrower.
Our bank subsidiary generally may not make loans or extend credit
to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of
unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned,
up to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured
by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include
real estate. As of December 31, 2022, our bank subsidiary was
in compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower
limitations.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements.
Under Regulation Y, our bank holding company and bank subsidiary
are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit
to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the
consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the
condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the
institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a
competitor of the institution.
Change in Control.
Federal and state laws, including the Change in Bank Control Act,
impose prior notice or approval requirements and ongoing regulatory
requirements on any investor that seeks to acquire direct or
indirect “control” of an FDIC-insured depository institution or
bank holding company. “Control” of a depository institution is
generally defined where an investor is deemed to control a
depository institution or other company if the investor owns or
controls 25% or more of any class of voting
securities.
Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates.
We and our bank subsidiary are subject to Section 23A of the
Federal Reserve Act. In general, Section 23A imposes limits on the
amount of transactions between the bank and its affiliates and
requires certain levels of collateral for loans to affiliated
parties. It also limits the amount of advances to affiliates which
are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the bank or
its nonbanking affiliates. An affiliate of a bank is generally any
company or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the bank.
Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the
Federal Reserve Act which generally requires that certain other
transactions between the bank and its affiliates be on terms
substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank, as
those prevailing at that time for comparable transactions with or
involving other non-affiliated persons.
Sections 22(g) and (h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its
implementing regulation, Regulation O, also place restrictions on
loans by a bank to executive officers, directors, and principal
shareholders. Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, an
executive officer and to a greater than 10% shareholder of a bank
and certain of their related interests, or insiders, and insiders
of affiliates, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding
loans to such person and related interests, the bank’s
loans-to-one-borrower limit. Section 22(h) also requires that loans
to insiders and to insiders of affiliates be made on terms
substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to
other persons, unless the loans are made pursuant to a benefit or
compensation program that (i) is widely available to employees of
the bank and (ii) does not give preference to insiders over other
employees of the bank. In addition, Section 22(h) requires prior
board of director’s approval for certain loans, and the aggregate
amount of extensions of credit by a bank to all insiders cannot
exceed the institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus.
Furthermore, Section 22(g) places additional restrictions on loans
to executive officers.
Interchange Fees.
Under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal
Reserve Board adopted rules establishing standards for assessing
whether the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to
certain electronic debit transactions are “reasonable and
proportional” to the costs incurred by issuers for processing such
transactions. Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that
merchants pay to our bank subsidiary and other card-issuing banks
for processing electronic payment transactions. Federal Reserve
Board rules applicable to financial institutions that have assets
of $10 billion or more provide that the maximum permissible
interchange fee is equal to no more than 21 cents plus 5 basis
points of the transaction value for many types of debit interchange
transactions. A debit card issuer may also recover 1 cent per
transaction for fraud prevention purposes if the issuer complies
with certain fraud-related requirements required by the Federal
Reserve. In addition, the Federal Reserve has rules governing
routing and exclusivity that require issuers to offer two
unaffiliated networks for routing transactions on each debit or
prepaid product.
The Volcker Rule.
The Dodd-Frank Act prohibits banks and their affiliates from
engaging in proprietary trading and investing in and sponsoring
hedge funds and private equity funds. The statutory provision,
which has been implemented by rules adopted by federal regulators,
is commonly called the “Volcker Rule.” The Volcker Rule also
requires covered banking entities, including us and our bank
subsidiary, to implement certain compliance programs, and the
complexity and rigor of such programs is determined based on the
asset size and complexity of the business of the covered company.
Since neither we nor our bank subsidiary engages in the types of
trading or investing covered by the Volcker Rule, the Volcker Rule
does not currently have any effect on our or our bank subsidiary’s
operations.
Privacy.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, financial institutions are
required to disclose their policies for collecting and protecting
confidential information. Customers generally may prevent financial
institutions from sharing nonpublic personal financial information
with nonaffiliated third parties except under narrow circumstances,
such as the processing of transactions requested by the consumer or
when the financial institution is jointly sponsoring a product or
service with a nonaffiliated third party. Additionally, financial
institutions generally may not disclose consumer account numbers to
any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail
marketing or other marketing to consumers. We and our subsidiary
have established policies and procedures to assure our compliance
with all privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act.
We are also subject to various regulatory guidance as updated from
time to time and implemented by the Federal Financial Institutions
Examinations Council (the “FFIEC”), an interagency body of the
FDIC, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, the National Credit Union
Administration and various state regulatory authorities. The FFIEC
has provided guidance in areas such as data privacy, disaster
recovery, information security, and third-party vendor management
to identify potential risks related to our services that could
adversely affect our customers. In addition, lawmakers, regulators
and the public are increasingly focused on the use of personal
information and efforts to strengthen data protection, information
security and consumer and personal privacy. The law in these areas
continues to develop, and we expect regulation in these areas to
continue to increase.
Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.
Our bank subsidiary is subject to the Uniting and Strengthening
America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Bank
Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and rules and regulations of the Office of
Foreign Assets Control (the “OFAC”). These statutes and related
rules and regulations impose requirements and limitations on
specific financial transactions and account relationships intended
to guard against money laundering, terrorism financing and
transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and
others on whom the United States has imposed economic sanctions.
Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement
adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist
financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or
regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences
for the institution, including causing applicable bank regulatory
authorities not to approve merger or acquisition transactions when
regulatory approval is required or to prohibit such transactions
even if approval is not required.
As part of our bank subsidiary’s anti-money laundering (“AML”)
program, we are required to designate a BSA officer, maintain a
BSA/AML training program, maintain internal controls to effectuate
the BSA/AML program, implement independent testing of the BSA/AML
program, and comply with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s
“Customer Due Diligence for Financial Institutions Rule” (the “CDD
Rule”). The CDD Rule adds a new requirement for our bank subsidiary
to identify and verify the identity of natural persons (“beneficial
owners”) of legal entity customers who own, control and profit from
companies when those companies open accounts. The CDD Rule requires
covered financial institutions to establish and maintain written
policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to (1)
identify and verify the identity of customers; (2) identify and
verify the identity of the beneficial owners of companies opening
accounts; (3) understand the nature and purpose of customer
relationships to develop customer risk profiles; and (4) conduct
ongoing monitoring to identify and report suspicious transactions
and, on a risk basis, to maintain and update customer information.
With respect to the new requirement to obtain beneficial ownership
information, financial institutions will have to identify and
verify the identity of any individuals who own 25 percent or more
of a legal entity, and an individual who controls the legal
entity.
Incentive Compensation.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal bank regulators and the SEC
to establish joint regulations or guidelines prohibiting
incentive-based payment arrangements at specified regulated
entities having at least $1 billion in total assets that encourage
inappropriate risks by providing an executive officer, employee,
director or principal shareholder with excessive compensation,
fees, or benefits or that could lead to material financial loss to
the entity. In addition, these regulators must establish
regulations or guidelines requiring enhanced disclosure to
regulators of incentive-based compensation
arrangements.
In June 2010, the Federal Reserve and FDIC issued comprehensive
final guidance on incentive compensation policies intended to
ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking
organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of such
organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The guidance,
which covers all employees that have the ability to materially
affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or
as part of a group, is based upon the key principles that a banking
organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should (1)
provide incentives that appropriately balance risk and financial
results in a manner that does not encourage employees to expose
their organizations to imprudent risk, (2) be compatible with
effective internal controls and risk management and (3) be
supported by strong corporate governance, including active and
effective oversight by the organization’s board of
directors.
In May 2016, the Federal Reserve, other federal banking agencies
and the SEC jointly published a revised version of proposed
rulemaking initially issued in April 2011 designed to implement the
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act prohibiting incentive compensation
arrangements that encourage inappropriate risk taking at a covered
institution, which includes a bank or bank holding company with $1
billion or more of assets, such as the Company and our bank
subsidiary. The proposed joint compensation regulations would
require compensation practices consistent with the three principles
discussed above. As of February 1, 2023, these regulations have not
been finalized. Unless and until a final rule is adopted, we cannot
fully determine whether compliance with such a rule will adversely
affect the Company’s or our bank subsidiary’s ability to hire,
retain and motivate our key employees.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule directing national
securities exchanges and associations, including the NYSE, to
implement listing standards that require listed companies to adopt
policies mandating the recovery or “clawback” of excess
incentive-based compensation earned by a current or former
executive officer during the three fiscal years preceding the date
the listed company is required to prepare an accounting
restatement, including to correct an error that would result in a
material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current
period or left uncorrected in the current period. The final rule
requires us to adopt a clawback policy within 60 days after such
listing standard becomes effective.
The Federal Reserve Board reviews, as part of the regular,
risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation
arrangements of banking organizations, such as the Company, that
are not “large, complex banking organizations.” These reviews are
tailored to each organization based on the scope and complexity of
the organization’s activities and the prevalence of incentive
compensation arrangements. The findings of this supervisory
initiative will be included in reports of examination. Deficiencies
will be incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings,
which can affect the organization’s ability to make acquisitions
and take other actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a
banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements, or
related risk-management control or governance processes, pose a
risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the
organization is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct
the deficiencies.
Customer Information Security.
The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines for
safeguarding confidential, personal, nonpublic customer
information. These guidelines require each financial institution,
under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its board of
directors or an appropriate committee thereof, to create, implement
and maintain a comprehensive written information security program
designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer
information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazard to
the security or integrity of such information and protect against
unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result
in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. Our bank
subsidiary has adopted a customer information security program to
comply with these requirements.
Arkansas Law.
Our bank subsidiary is subject to regulation and examination by the
Arkansas State Bank Department. Under the Arkansas Banking Code of
1997, approval of the Bank Commissioner is required for the
acquisition of more than 25% of any class of the outstanding
capital stock of any bank. The Bank Commissioner’s approval is also
required in order for us to make bank acquisitions, amend our
articles of incorporation, repurchase shares of our capital stock
(other than payments to dissenting shareholders in a transaction),
issue preferred stock or debt, increase, reduce or retire any part
of our capital stock, retire debt instruments, or conduct certain
types of activities that are incidental or closely related to
banking. The Bank Commissioner has the authority, with the consent
of the Governor of the State of Arkansas, to declare a state of
emergency and temporarily modify or suspend banking laws and
regulations in communities where such a state of emergency exists.
The Bank Commissioner may also authorize a bank to close its
offices and any day when such bank offices are closed will be
treated as a legal holiday, and any director, officer or employee
of such bank shall not incur any liability related to such
emergency closing. No such state of emergency has been declared to
exist by the Bank Commissioner to date.
Regulatory Developments Relating to the CARES Act
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on
March 27, 2020 to provide national emergency economic relief
measures. The CARES Act’s programs were implemented through rules
and guidance adopted by federal departments and agencies, including
the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and other
federal bank regulatory authorities, including those with direct
supervisory jurisdiction over the Company and its bank subsidiary.
Set forth below is a brief overview of select provisions of the
CARES Act and other regulations and supervisory guidance related to
the COVID-19 pandemic that are applicable to the operations and
activities of the Company and its bank subsidiary.
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).
The CARES Act established a new federal economic relief program
administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) called
the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which provided for 100%
federally guaranteed loans to be issued by participating private
financial institutions to small businesses for payroll and certain
other permitted expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our bank
subsidiary participated in the PPP as a lender. These loans are
eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are satisfied and are
fully guaranteed by the SBA. Additionally, loan payments were
deferred for the first six months of the loan term. The PPP
commenced on April 3, 2020 and was available to qualified borrowers
through May 31, 2021. No collateral or personal guarantees were
required. Neither the government nor lenders were permitted to
charge the recipients any fees. As of December 31, 2022, our bank
subsidiary has approximately $7.3 million in PPP loans that remain
outstanding.
Temporary Regulatory Capital Relief related to Impact of Current
Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”).
Concurrent with enactment of the CARES Act, the federal bank
regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that delays the
estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the
implementation of CECL. The interim final rule maintains the
three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides
banking organizations that implemented CECL during 2020 the option
to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory
capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on
regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to
phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during
the initial two-year delay. We adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 and
have elected to utilize the five-year transition
option.
Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Action
From time to time, various legislative and regulatory initiatives
are introduced in Congress and state legislatures, as well as by
regulatory agencies. Such initiatives may include proposals to
expand or contract the powers of bank holding companies and
depository institutions or proposals to substantially change the
financial institution regulatory system. Such legislation could
change banking statutes and the operating environment for us and
our bank subsidiary in substantial and unpredictable ways. If
enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the cost of
doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect
the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit
unions, and other financial institutions. We cannot predict whether
or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted
or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new
regulation or statute.
Effect of Governmental Monetary Polices
Our earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the
monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and
its agencies. The Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policies have
had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the
operating results of commercial banks through its power to
implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to
curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the
Federal Reserve Board affect the levels of bank loans, investments
and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States
government securities, its regulation of the discount rate
applicable to banks and its influence over reserve requirements to
which banks are subject. We cannot predict the nature or impact of
future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We are subject to the information requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we file annual, quarterly and
current reports, proxy statements and other information with the
SEC. In addition, we maintain a website at
http://www.homebancshares.com. We make available on our website
copies of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to such
documents as soon as practicable after we electronically file such
materials with or furnish such documents to the SEC.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business exposes us to certain risks. Risks and uncertainties
that management is not aware of or focused on may also adversely
affect our business and operation. The following is a discussion of
the most significant risks and uncertainties that may affect our
business, financial condition and future results.
Risks Related to Our Industry
We are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict
our activities and impose financial requirements or limitations on
the conduct of our business, and changes in the laws and
regulations to which we are subject could adversely affect our
profitability.
We and our bank subsidiary are subject to extensive federal and
state regulation and supervision. As a registered bank holding
company, we are primarily regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.
Our bank subsidiary is also primarily regulated by the Federal
Reserve Board and the Arkansas State Bank Department.
Banking industry regulations are primarily intended to protect
depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking
system as a whole, not security holders. Complying with such
regulations is costly and may limit our growth and restrict certain
of our activities, including payment of dividends, mergers and
acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged,
interest rates paid on deposits and locations of offices. We are
also subject to capital requirements by our regulators. Violations
of various laws, even if unintentional, may result in significant
fines or other penalties, including restrictions on branching or
bank acquisitions.
Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking
laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. The Dodd-Frank
Act, passed by Congress in 2010, instituted major changes to the
banking and financial institutions regulatory regimes in light of
the performance of and government intervention in the financial
services sector during the economic recession leading up to its
enactment. The act required the issuance of a substantial number of
new regulations by federal regulatory agencies affecting financial
institutions, some of which still have yet to be issued or
implemented.
While the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer
Protection Act enacted in 2018 reduced certain regulatory burdens
on community and regional financial institutions resulting from the
Dodd-Frank Act, we cannot assure that future legislation will not
significantly increase our compliance or operating costs or
otherwise have a significant impact on our business. Certain
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and regulations promulgated under
the act may continue to be implemented, and there could be
additional new federal or state laws, regulations and policies
regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards.
Additionally, financial institution regulatory agencies have
intensified their response to concerns and trends identified in
examinations, including through the issuance of formal enforcement
actions. Negative developments in the financial services industry
or other new legislation or regulations could adversely impact our
operations and our financial performance by subjecting us to
additional costs, restricting our business operations, including
our ability to originate or sell loans, and/or increasing the
ability of non-banks to offer competing financial
services.
As regulation of the banking industry continues to evolve, we
expect the costs of compliance to continue to increase and, thus,
to affect our ability to operate profitably. In addition, industry,
legislative or regulatory developments may cause us to materially
change our existing strategic direction, capital strategies,
compensation or operating plans. If these developments negatively
impact our ability to implement our business strategies, it may
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
future prospects.
We are subject to heightened regulatory requirements as our total
assets exceed $10 billion.
Because our total assets exceed $10 billion, we and our bank
subsidiary are subject to increased regulatory requirements. The
Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations impose various
additional requirements on bank holding companies with $10 billion
or more in total assets. In addition, banks with $10 billion or
more in total assets are primarily examined by the CFPB with
respect to various federal consumer financial protection laws and
regulations. Previously, our bank subsidiary had been subject to
regulations adopted by the CFPB, but the Federal Reserve was
primarily responsible for examining our bank subsidiary’s
compliance with consumer protection laws and those CFPB
regulations. As a relatively new agency with evolving regulations
and practices, the CFPB’s examination and regulatory authority has
been and continues to be the subject of policy debates and
uncertainty among lawmakers and differing presidential
administrations, and thus we cannot ascertain the impact, if any,
that future changes to the CFPB may have on our
business.
Banks with assets in excess of $10 billion are subject to a deposit
assessment based on a scorecard issued by the FDIC that considers,
among other things, the bank’s CAMELS rating, results of
asset-related stress testing and funding-related stress, as well as
our use of core deposits, among other things. Depending on the
results of the bank’s performance under that scorecard, the total
base assessment rate is between 2.5 to 42 basis points. Any
increase in our bank subsidiary’s deposit insurance assessments may
result in an increased expense related to our use of deposits as a
funding source. Additionally, banks with over $10 billion in total
assets are no longer exempt from the requirements of the Federal
Reserve’s rules on interchange transaction fees for debit cards.
Our bank subsidiary is limited to receiving only a “reasonable”
interchange transaction fee for any debit card transactions
processed using debit cards issued by our bank subsidiary to our
customers. The Federal Reserve has determined that it is
unreasonable for a bank with more than $10 billion in total assets
to receive more than $0.21 plus 5 basis points of the transaction
plus a $0.01 fraud adjustment for an interchange transaction fee
for debit card transactions. This limit in the amount of
interchange fees we receive for electronic debit interchange has
the effect of reducing our revenues.
Prior to becoming subject to the heightened regulatory
requirements, we hired additional compliance personnel and
implemented structural initiatives to address these requirements.
While some of these requirements, such as annual stress testing,
were eliminated by the reforms enacted in May 2018, our continued
compliance with the remaining requirements and compliance with any
additional requirements that may be imposed in the future may
necessitate that we hire additional compliance or other personnel,
design and implement additional internal controls, or incur other
significant expenses, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations. Our regulators may also consider our compliance with
these regulatory requirements when examining our operations
generally or considering any request for regulatory approval we may
make, even requests for approvals on unrelated
matters.
Difficult market and economic conditions may adversely affect our
industry and our business.
Economic downturns historically have had a significant adverse
impact on the banking industry, and particularly community banks.
Declines in the housing market, with falling home prices and
increased delinquencies and foreclosures, can negatively impact the
credit performance of mortgage and construction loans and result in
significant write-downs of assets by financial institutions. Any
reduced availability of commercial credit or periods of sustained
higher unemployment can further negatively impact the credit
performance of commercial and consumer credit, resulting in
additional write-downs. Any such market conditions could cause
commercial and consumer deficiencies, low customer confidence,
market volatility and generally sluggish business activity in our
industry.
Unlike larger financial institutions that are more geographically
diversified, our profitability depends primarily on the general
economic conditions in our primary market areas. Local economic
conditions have a significant impact on our residential real
estate, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and
industrial and consumer lending, including, the ability of
borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral
securing these loans. Certain economic indicators, such as real
estate asset values, rents and unemployment, may vary between
geographic markets and may lag behind the overall economy. These
economic indicators typically affect certain industries, such as
real estate and financial services, more significantly than other
economic sectors. Additionally, our success significantly depends
upon the growth in population, income levels, deposits and housing
starts in our markets. If the communities in which we operate do
not grow or if prevailing economic conditions deteriorate locally
or nationally, our business may be adversely affected. We are less
able than a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable
local economic conditions across a large number of diversified
economies. The adverse effects of any future economic downturn on
us, our customers and the other financial institutions in our
market may result in increased foreclosures, delinquencies and
customer bankruptcies as well as more restricted access to funds.
Any such negative events may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and stock
price.
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted U.S. and global supply chains and
altered business and economic conditions throughout the U.S. and
globally. Its economic impacts lowered equity market valuations;
created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets;
contributed to a decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury
securities; resulted in ratings downgrades, credit deterioration,
and defaults in many industries; increased demands on capital and
liquidity; increased unemployment levels and decreased consumer
confidence. In addition, the pandemic resulted in temporary or
permanent closures of many businesses, the institution of social
distancing, face covering requirements and other health directives,
and in some cases, self-isolation requirements. The pandemic also
caused us to recognize credit losses in our loan portfolios and
increases in our allowance for credit losses.
Given the nature of COVID-19 variants, it is difficult to predict
whether or when any future outbreaks of the virus may occur or the
impacts that any such outbreak may have on our business. Any
impact
will depend on future developments, including the long-term scope,
severity and duration of the outbreak, the success of vaccination,
treatment and other mitigation efforts, any further actions taken
by governmental authorities in response to the economic and health
effects of the pandemic, and the long-term financial impact of the
pandemic on our customers, employees, counterparties and service
providers.
As part of these uncertainties, we could be subject to a number of
risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations,
and ability to execute our growth strategy. These risks include,
but are not limited to, increased loan losses or other impairments
in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for loan
losses;
further volatility in the valuation of real estate and other
collateral supporting loans;
impairment of our goodwill and our financial assets; increased cost
of capital; inability to satisfy our minimum regulatory capital
ratios and other supervisory requirements; or a downgrade in our
credit ratings.
We could also face an increased risk of governmental and regulatory
scrutiny as a result of the effects of the pandemic on market and
economic conditions and actions governmental authorities take in
response to those conditions.
Even as the economic and health impacts of the coronavirus subside,
we could experience future volatility in the economy or a prolonged
recession that could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, liquidity, or results of
operations.
Our FDIC insurance premiums and assessments could increase and
result in higher noninterest expense.
Our bank subsidiary’s deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal
limits, and accordingly, we are subject to FDIC deposit insurance
assessments. As our bank subsidiary exceeds $10 billion in assets,
we are subject to higher FDIC assessments. Our bank subsidiary’s
regular assessments are calculated under the large bank pricing
rule using its average consolidated total assets minus average
tangible equity as well as by risk classification, which includes
regulatory capital levels.
We are generally unable to control the amount and timetable for
payment of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance.
There is no guarantee that our assessment rate will not increase in
the future. Additionally, if there is an increase in bank or
financial institution failures or there is a future need to
strengthen the DIF reserve ratio, the FDIC may further revise the
assessment rates or the risk-based assessment system. Such changes
may require us to pay higher FDIC premiums than our current levels,
or the FDIC may charge additional special assessments, either of
which would increase our noninterest expense.
Our profitability is vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations and
monetary policy and could be adversely affected by any future
actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board to address rising
inflation.
Our results of operations are affected by the monetary policies of
the Federal Reserve Board. Most of our assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature, and thus subject us to significant risks from
changes in interest rates. Consequently, our results of operations
can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates and our
ability to manage interest rate risk. Changes in market interest
rates, changes in the relationships between short-term and
long-term market interest rates, or changes in the relationship
between different interest rate indices can affect the interest
rates charged on interest-earning assets differently than the
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This difference
could result in an increase in interest expense relative to
interest income or a decrease in interest rate spread. In addition
to affecting our profitability, changes in interest rates can
impact the valuation of our assets and liabilities. Changes in
interest rates can also affect our business and profitability in
numerous other ways. For example, increases in interest rates can
have a negative impact on our results of operations by reducing
loan demand and the ability of borrowers to repay their current
obligations, while decreases in interest rates may affect loan
prepayments.
In response to recent inflation and its affects on U.S. business
and consumers, the Federal Reserve Board has implemented eight
interest rate increases since March 2022. It is widely anticipated
that the Federal Reserve will implement multiple additional
interest rate increases during 2023. While we experienced loan
growth during 2022 through acquisitions and organically sufficient
to more than offset our increased interest expense and overall loan
demand has remained relatively strong, there can be no assurance
that any such future actions by the Federal Reserve Board involving
monetary policies will not cause any of the adverse effects
described above on our deposit levels, loan demand or business and
earnings.
We may be adversely impacted by the transition from the use of the
LIBOR interest rate index in the future.
We have certain loans, investment securities and subordinated debt
securities indexed to LIBOR to calculate the interest rate. The
continued availability of the LIBOR index is not guaranteed after
the United Kingdom administrators of LIBOR have announced that the
publication of the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings
will cease to be published after June 2023. We cannot predict, in
the interim, whether and to what extent banks will continue to
provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR or whether
any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted. With respect to our
loan assets, at this time, there is some industry guidance
regarding acceptable alternatives to LIBOR. After review and
analysis from the Federal Reserve Board’s Alternative Reference
Rates Committee, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published
its final rule recommending the Secured Overnight Financing Rate,
or SOFR, as a compliant replacement index to LIBOR that would not
trigger a refinance under existing regulations for certain consumer
loans. Loan contracts may also contain alternate rate language
permitting transfer to SOFR, Wall Street Journal Prime or another
index when LIBOR is no longer available. The timing and manner in
which each customer’s contract transitions to a new index will vary
on a case-by-case basis. There continues to be some uncertainty
related to the LIBOR transition. New index rates and payments will
differ from LIBOR, which may lead to increased volatility. The
transition has impacted our market risk profiles and required
changes to our risk and pricing models, valuation tools, and
product design. Furthermore, failure to adequately manage this
transition process with our customers could adversely impact our
reputation. With respect to investment securities and subordinated
debt securities, we expect similar transition issues. Failure to
adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our decisions regarding credit risk could be inaccurate and our
allowance for credit losses may be inadequate, which would
materially and adversely affect us.
Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the
collectability of our loan portfolio, including the
creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate
and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of our
secured loans. We endeavor to maintain an allowance for credit
losses that we consider adequate to absorb future losses that may
occur in our loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2022, our
allowance for credit losses was approximately $289.7 million, or
2.01% of our total loans. In determining the size of the allowance,
we analyze our loan portfolio based on our historical loss
experience, volume and classification of loans, volume and trends
in delinquencies and non-accruals, national and local economic
conditions, and other pertinent information.
If our assumptions are incorrect, our current allowance may be
insufficient to absorb future loan losses, and increased loan loss
reserves may be needed to respond to different economic conditions
or adverse developments in our loan portfolio. When there is an
economic downturn, it is more difficult for us to estimate the
losses that we will experience in our loan portfolio. In addition,
federal and state regulators periodically review our allowance for
credit losses and may require us to increase our allowance for
credit losses or recognize further loan charge-offs based on
judgments different than those of our management. Any increase in
our allowance for credit losses or loan charge-offs could have a
negative effect on our operating results.
Our high concentration of real estate loans and especially
commercial real estate loans exposes us to increased lending
risk.
As of December 31, 2022, approximately 72.5% of our total loan
portfolio was comprised of loans with real estate as a primary or
secondary component of collateral. This includes commercial real
estate loans (excluding construction/land development) of $5.98
billion, or 41.5% of total loans, construction/land development
loans of $2.14 billion, or 14.8% of total loans, and residential
real estate loans of $2.33 billion, or 16.1% of total loans. This
high concentration of real estate loans could subject us to
increased credit risk in the event of a decrease in real estate
values in our markets, a real estate recession or a natural
disaster. Also, in any such event, our ability to recover on
defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling real estate collateral
would be diminished, and we would be more likely to suffer losses
on defaulted loans.
In addition to the risks associated with the high concentration of
real estate-secured loans, the commercial real estate and
construction/land development loans, which comprised 56.3% of our
total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022, expose us to a
greater risk of loss than our residential real estate loans, which
comprised 16.1% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31,
2022. Commercial real estate and land development loans typically
involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of
related borrowers compared to residential loans. Consequently, an
adverse development with respect to one commercial loan or one
credit relationship exposes us to a significantly greater risk of
loss compared to an adverse development with respect to one
residential mortgage loan.
The repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is
typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related
real estate or commercial project. If the cash flows from the
project are reduced, a borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be
impaired. This cash flow shortage may result in the failure to make
loan payments. In such cases, we may be compelled to modify the
terms of the loan, or in the most extreme cases, we may have to
foreclose.
If a decline in economic conditions or other issues cause
difficulties for our borrowers of these types of loans, if we fail
to evaluate the credit of these loans accurately when we underwrite
them or if we do not continue to adequately monitor the performance
of these loans, our lending portfolio could experience
delinquencies, defaults and credit losses that could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
Our geographic concentration of banking activities and loan
portfolio makes us more vulnerable to adverse conditions in our
local markets.
Our bank subsidiary operates through branch locations in Arkansas,
Florida, Texas, Alabama and New York City and loan production
offices in Los Angeles, California, Dallas, Texas, Miami, Florida,
Chesapeake, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland. However,
approximately 79.7% of our total loans and 84.6% of our real estate
loans as of December 31, 2022, are to borrowers whose
collateral is located in Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Alabama and New
York, the states in which the Company has its branch locations. An
adverse development with respect to the market conditions of any of
these specific market areas or a decrease in real estate values in
those market areas could expose us to a greater risk of loss than a
portfolio that is spread among a larger geographic
base.
If the value of real estate were to deteriorate, a significant
portion of our loans could become under-collateralized, which could
have a material adverse effect on us.
As of December 31, 2022, approximately 72.5% of our total
loans were secured by real estate. In prior years, difficult local
economic conditions have adversely affected the values of our real
estate collateral, and they could do so again if the economic
conditions markets were to deteriorate in the future. The real
estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of
repayment on our loans in the event of default by the borrower but
may deteriorate in value during the time credit is extended. If we
are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy
the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our
earnings and capital could be adversely affected.
Because we have a concentration of exposure to a number of
individual borrowers, a significant loss on any of those loans
could materially and adversely affect us.
We have a concentration of exposure to a number of individual
borrowers. Under applicable law, our bank subsidiary is generally
permitted to make loans to one borrowing relationship up to 20% of
its Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses. As of
December 31, 2022, the legal lending limit of our bank
subsidiary for secured loans was approximately $539.7 million. Our
board of directors has established an in-house lending limit of
$40.0 million to any one borrowing relationship without obtaining
the approval of two of the following: our Chairman, John W.
Allison, our Vice Chairman, Jack E. Engelkes, or our director
Richard H. Ashley. As of December 31, 2022, we had a total of
$6.46 billion, or 44.8% of our total loans, committed to the
aggregate group of borrowers whose total debt exceeds the
established in-house lending limit of $40.0 million.
Our cost of funds may increase as a result of general economic
conditions, interest rates and competitive pressures.
Our cost of funds may increase as a result of general economic
conditions, interest rates and competitive pressures. We have
traditionally obtained funds principally through local deposits,
and we have a base of lower cost transaction deposits. Generally,
we believe local deposits are a more stable source of funds than
other borrowings because interest rates paid for local deposits are
typically lower than interest rates charged for borrowings from
other institutional lenders. In addition, local deposits reflect a
mix of transaction and time deposits, whereas brokered deposits
typically are less stable time deposits, which may need to be
replaced with higher cost funds. Our costs of funds and our
profitability and liquidity are likely to be adversely affected if
and to the extent we must rely upon higher cost borrowings from
other institutional lenders or brokers to fund loan demand or
liquidity needs, and changes in our deposit mix and growth could
adversely affect our profitability and the ability to expand our
loan portfolio.
The loss of key employees may materially and adversely affect
us.
Our success depends significantly on our Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President, John W. Allison, and our executive officers,
especially Brian S. Davis, J. Stephen Tipton and Kevin D. Hester
plus Centennial Bank Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President, Tracy M. French, as well as other key Centennial Bank
personnel. Centennial Bank, in particular, relies heavily on its
management team’s relationships in its local communities to
generate business. The loss of services from a member of our
current management team may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects.
The value of securities in our investment portfolio may decline in
the future.
As of December 31, 2022, we owned $4.04 billion of
available-for-sale investment securities. The fair value of our
available-for-sale investment securities may be adversely affected
by market conditions, including changes in interest rates, and the
occurrence of any events adversely affecting the issuer of
particular securities in our investments portfolio. We evaluate all
securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss
position requires a provision for credit losses in accordance with
ASC 326,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments.
The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or is more
likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of
the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the
security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value
through income. For securities that do not meet these criteria, the
Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted
from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the
Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than
amortized cost, and changes to the rating of the security by a
rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the
security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a
credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be
collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost
basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected
to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit
loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the
credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than
the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded
through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other
comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses
are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense.
Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes
the uncollectability of a security is confirmed or when either of
the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Because of changing economic and market conditions affecting
issuers, we may be required to record provisions for credit losses
in future periods, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
As of December 31, 2022, we owned $1.29 billion of
held-to-maturity investment securities. Securities held-to-maturity
("HTM"), which include any security for which we have the positive
intent and ability to hold until maturity, are reported at
historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted to the
call date to interest income using the constant effective yield
method over the estimated life of the security. The Company
measures expected credit losses on HTM securities on a collective
basis by major security type, with each type sharing similar risk
characteristics. The estimate of expected credit losses considers
historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current
conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company
has made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable on HTM
securities from the estimate of credit losses and report accrued
interest separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Because of
changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may
be required to record provisions for credit losses in future
periods, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Our recent results do not indicate our future results and may not
provide guidance to assess the risk of an investment in our common
stock.
We are unlikely to sustain our historical rate of growth and may
not even be able to expand our business at all. Further, our growth
in prior years may distort some of our historical financial ratios
and statistics. Various factors, such as economic conditions,
regulatory and legislative considerations and competition, may also
impede or prohibit our ability to expand our market presence. If we
are not able to successfully grow our business, our financial
condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
We may not be able to raise the additional capital we need to grow
and, as a result, our ability to expand our operations could be
materially impaired.
Federal and state regulatory authorities require us and our bank
subsidiary to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our
operations. While we believe that our existing capital (which well
exceeds the federal and state capital requirements) will be
sufficient to support our current operations, anticipated expansion
and potential acquisitions, factors such as faster than anticipated
growth, reduced earnings levels, operating losses, changes in
economic conditions, revisions in regulatory requirements, or
additional acquisition opportunities may lead us to seek additional
capital.
Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on
our financial performance and on conditions in the capital markets
at that time, which are outside our control. If we need additional
capital but cannot raise it on terms acceptable to us, our ability
to expand our operations could be materially impaired, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
may be adversely affected, and our stock price may
decline.
Our growth and expansion strategy may not be successful, and our
market value and profitability may suffer.
Growth through the acquisition of banks or specific bank assets or
liabilities, including FDIC-assisted transactions, and de novo
branching represent important components of our business strategy.
Bank acquisitions are subject to regulatory approval, and we cannot
assure that we will be able to obtain approval for a proposed
acquisition in a timely manner or at all. Any future acquisitions
we might make will also be accompanied by other risks commonly
encountered in acquisitions. These risks include, among other
things:
•credit
risk associated with the acquired bank’s loans and
investments;
•the
use of inaccurate estimates and judgments to evaluate credit,
operations, management and market risks with respect to the target
institution or assets;
•the
potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities related to
the acquisition;
•the
time and expense required to integrate an acquisition;
•the
effectiveness of integrating operations, personnel and
customers;
•risks
of impairment to goodwill or other than temporary impairment;
and
•potential
disruption of our ongoing business.
We expect that competition for suitable acquisition candidates may
be significant. We may compete with other banks or financial
service companies with similar acquisition strategies, many of
which are larger and have greater financial and other resources. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully identify and
acquire suitable acquisition targets on acceptable terms and
conditions.
We may continue to have opportunities from time to time to acquire
the assets and liabilities of failed banks in FDIC-assisted
transactions. These acquisitions involve risks similar to acquiring
existing banks even though the FDIC might provide assistance to
mitigate certain risks such as sharing in exposure to loan losses
and providing indemnification against certain liabilities of the
failed institution. However, because these acquisitions are
structured in a manner that would not allow us the time normally
associated with preparing for integration of an acquired
institution, we may face additional risks in FDIC-assisted
transactions. These risks include, among other things, the loss of
customers, strain on management resources related to collection and
management of problem loans and problems related to integration of
personnel and operating systems.
In addition to the acquisition of existing financial institutions
or their assets or liabilities, as opportunities arise, we may grow
through de novo branching. De novo branching, and any acquisition
carry with them numerous risks, including the
following:
•the
inability to obtain all required regulatory approvals;
•the
significant upfront costs and anticipated operating losses
associated with establishing a de novo branch or a new
bank;
•the
inability to secure the services of qualified senior
management;
•the
local market receptivity for branches established or banks acquired
outside of those markets in which we currently maintain a material
presence;
•the
local economic conditions within the market to be served by the de
novo branch or new bank;
•the
inability to obtain attractive locations within a new market at a
reasonable cost; and
•the
additional strain on management resources and internal systems and
controls.
We cannot assure that we will be successful in overcoming these
risks or any other problems encountered in connection with
acquisitions (including FDIC-assisted transactions) and de novo
branching. Our inability to overcome these risks could have an
adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business strategy and
maintain our market value and profitability.
If we acquire additional banks or bank assets in the future, there
may be undiscovered risks or losses associated with such
acquisitions which would have a negative impact upon our future
income.
Our growth strategy includes strategic acquisitions of banks or
bank assets. We have acquired 23 banks since we started our first
subsidiary bank in 1999, including a total of 18 banks since 2010.
We completed the acquisition of Happy Bancshares, headquartered in
Amarillo, Texas, during the second quarter of 2022. We will
continue to consider future strategic acquisitions, with a primary
focus on Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama and other nearby
markets. In most cases, our acquisition of a bank includes the
acquisition of all or a substantial portion of the target bank’s
assets and liabilities, including all or a substantial portion of
its loan portfolio, although we have in the past acquired and may
in the future acquire specific lending divisions or loan
portfolios. There may be instances when we, under our normal
operating procedures, may find after the acquisition that there may
be additional losses or undisclosed liabilities with respect to the
assets and liabilities of the target bank, and, with respect to its
loan portfolio, that the ability of a borrower to repay a loan may
have become impaired, the quality of the value of the collateral
securing a loan may fall below our standards, or our determination
of the fair value of any such loan may be inadequate. One or more
of these factors might cause us to have additional losses or
liabilities, additional loan charge-offs, or increases in our
allowance for credit losses, which would have a negative impact
upon our financial condition and results of
operations.
If the goodwill that we may record or have recorded in connection
with a business acquisition becomes impaired, it could require
charges to earnings.
When we acquire a business, a portion of the purchase price of the
acquisition is generally allocated to goodwill and other
identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price
that is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is
determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net
identifiable assets acquired. At December 31, 2022, our
goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets were $1.46
billion. Under current accounting standards, if we determine
goodwill or intangible assets are impaired because, for example,
the acquired business does not meet projected revenue targets or
certain key employees leave, we are required to write down the
carrying value of these assets. We conduct a review at least
annually to determine whether goodwill is impaired. Our annual
goodwill impairment evaluation performed during the fourth quarter
of 2022 indicated no impairment of goodwill for our reporting
segments. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will not be
required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any impairment
charge would have an adverse effect on our shareholders’ equity and
financial results and could cause a decline in our stock
price.
Competition from other financial institutions and financial service
providers may adversely affect our profitability.
We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations
from a variety of different competitors. We experience strong
competition, not only from commercial banks, savings and loan
associations and credit unions, but also from mortgage banking
firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms,
insurance companies, money market funds and other financial
services providers operating in or near our market areas. We
compete with these institutions both in attracting deposits and in
making loans.
Many of our competitors are much larger national and regional
financial institutions. We may face a competitive disadvantage
against them as a result of our smaller size and resources and our
lack of geographic diversification. Due to their size, larger
competitors can achieve economies of scale and may offer a broader
range of products and services or more attractive pricing than us.
If we are unable to offer competitive products and services, our
business may be negatively affected. Many of our competitors are
not subject to the same degree of regulation that we are as an
FDIC-insured institution, which gives them greater operating
flexibility and reduces their expenses relative to ours. As a
result, these non-bank competitors have certain advantages over us
in accessing funding and in providing various
services.
We also compete against community banks that have strong local
ties. These smaller institutions are likely to cater to the same
small and mid-sized businesses that we target and to use a
relationship-based approach similar to ours. In addition, our
competitors may seek to gain market share by pricing below the
current market rates for loans and paying higher rates for
deposits. The banking business in our primary market areas is very
competitive, and the level of competition facing us may increase
further, which may limit our asset growth and financial
results.
We continually encounter technological change, and we may have
fewer resources than many of our competitors to continue to invest
in technological improvements and innovations.
The financial services industry continues to undergo rapid
technological changes, with frequent introductions of new
technology-driven products and services, including innovative ways
that customers can make payments or manage their accounts, such as
through the use of digital wallets or digital currencies. In
addition to better serving customers, effective use of technology
increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce
costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to
address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide
products and services that will satisfy customer demands for
convenience, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our
operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater
resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be
able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and
services or be successful in marketing these products and services
to our clients, which may adversely affect our results of
operations and future prospects.
A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems, or
those of our third-party service providers, including as a result
of cyber-attacks, could disrupt our business, result in
unintentional disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary
information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause
losses.
As a financial institution, our operations rely heavily on the
secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and
other information on our computer systems and networks. Any
failure, interruption or breach in security or operational
integrity of these systems could result in failures or disruptions
in our online banking system, customer relationship management,
general ledger, deposit and loan servicing and other systems. The
security and integrity of our systems could be threatened by a
variety of interruptions or information security breaches,
including those caused by computer hacking, cyber-attacks,
electronic fraudulent activity or attempted theft of financial
assets. Our information systems have from time to time experienced
such interruptions or breaches despite our best efforts to prevent
them. We cannot assure you that any future failures, interruption
or security breaches will not occur, or if they do occur that they
will be adequately addressed. While we have certain protective
policies and procedures in place, the nature and sophistication of
the threats continue to evolve. We may be required to expend
significant additional resources in the future to modify and
enhance our protective measures.
Additionally, we face the risk of operational disruption, failure,
termination or capacity constraints of any of the third parties
that facilitate our business activities, including exchanges,
clearing agents, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries.
Such parties could also be the source of an attack on, or breach
of, our operational systems. Any failures, interruptions or
security breaches in our information systems could damage our
reputation, result in a loss of customer business, result in a
violation of privacy or other laws, or expose us to civil
litigation, regulatory fines or losses not covered by
insurance.
Future hurricanes or other adverse weather events could negatively
affect our local economies or disrupt our operations, which would
have an adverse effect on us.
As illustrated in recent years by the impact of Hurricanes Irma,
Michael and Ian, our markets in Alabama and Florida, like other
coastal areas, are susceptible to hurricanes and tropical storms.
Such weather events can disrupt our operations, result in damage to
our properties and negatively affect the local economies in which
we operate. We cannot predict whether or to what extent damage that
may be caused by future hurricanes or other weather events will
affect our operations or the economies in our market areas, but
such weather events could result in a decline in loan originations,
a decline in the value or destruction of properties or other
collateral securing our loans and an increase in the delinquencies,
foreclosures and loan losses. Our business or results of operations
may be adversely affected by these and other negative effects of
hurricanes or other significant weather events.
We may incur environmental liabilities with respect to properties
to which we take title.
A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real
property. In the course of our business, we may own or foreclose
and take title to real estate and could become subject to
environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. In
addition, we acquire branches and real estate in connection with
our acquisitions of banks. We may become responsible to a
governmental agency or third parties for property damage, personal
injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by those parties
in connection with environmental contamination or may be required
to investigate or clean-up hazardous or toxic substances, or
chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with
environmental investigation or remediation activities could be
substantial. If we were to become subject to significant
environmental liabilities, it could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations could be interrupted if certain external vendors on
which we rely experience difficulty, terminate their services or
fail to comply with banking laws and regulations.
We depend to a significant extent on relationships with third party
service providers. Specifically, we utilize third-party core
banking services and receive credit card and debit card services,
branch capture services, Internet banking services and services
complementary to our banking products from various third-party
service providers. If these third-party service providers
experience difficulties or terminate their services and we are
unable to replace them with other service providers, our operations
could be interrupted. It may be difficult for us to replace some of
our third-party vendors, particularly vendors providing our core
banking, credit card and debit card services, in a timely manner if
they were unwilling or unable to provide us with these services in
the future for any reason. If an interruption were to continue for
a significant period of time, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations. Even if we are able to replace them, it may be at
higher cost to us, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition or results of operations. In
addition, if a third-party provider fails to provide the services
we require, fails to meet contractual requirements, such as
compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or suffers a
cyber-attack or other security breach, our business could suffer
economic and reputational harm that could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Our earnings could be adversely impacted by incidences of fraud and
compliance failure.
Financial institutions are inherently exposed to fraud risk. A
fraud can be perpetrated by a customer of our bank subsidiary, an
employee, a vendor, or members of the general public. We are most
subject to fraud and compliance risk in connection with the
origination of loans, ACH transactions, wire transactions, ATM
transactions, and checking transactions. Our largest fraud risk,
associated with the origination of loans, includes the intentional
misstatement of information in property appraisals or other
underwriting documentation provided to us by third parties.
Compliance risk is the risk that loans are not originated in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations and our standards.
There can be no assurance that we can prevent or detect acts of
fraud or violation of law or our compliance standards by the third
parties that we deal with. Repeated incidences of fraud or
compliance failures would adversely impact the performance of our
loan portfolio.
Risks Related to Owning Our Stock
The rights of our common shareholders are subordinate to the
holders of any debt securities that we may issue from time to time
and may be subordinate to the holders of any series of preferred
stock that may issue in the future.
On January 18, 2022, we issued $300.0 million of 3.125%
fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, which mature in 2032,
and on
April 1, 2022, the Company acquired $140.0 million of subordinated
notes from Happy, which mature in 2030 and carry a fixed rate of
5.500% for the first five years. Thereafter, the notes bear
interest at 3-month Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) plus
5.345%, resetting quarterly.
Because these subordinated notes are senior to our shares of common
stock, in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation,
the holders of any such subordinated notes then outstanding must be
satisfied before any distributions can be made to the holders of
our common stock.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue in the aggregate
up to 5,500,000 shares of preferred stock, and to incur senior or
subordinated indebtedness, generally without shareholder approval.
Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation,
dividend and other rights that may be superior to the rights of our
common stock. In addition, like our outstanding subordinated
debentures, any future indebtedness that we incur would be expected
to be senior to our common stock with respect to payment upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Accordingly, common
shareholders bear the risk that our future issuances of debt or
equity securities or our incurrence of other borrowings will
negatively affect the market price of our common
stock.
We may be unable to, or choose not to, pay dividends on our common
stock.
Although we have paid a quarterly dividend on our common stock
since 2003 and expect to continue this practice, we cannot assure
you of our ability to continue. Our ability to pay dividends
depends on the following factors, among others:
•We
may not have sufficient earnings since our primary source of
income, the payment of dividends to us by our bank subsidiary, is
subject to federal and state laws that limit the ability of that
bank to pay dividends.
•Federal
Reserve Board policy requires bank holding companies to pay cash
dividends on common stock only out of net income available over the
past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent
with the organization’s expected future needs and financial
condition.
•Before
dividends may be paid on our common stock in any year, payments
must be made on our subordinated debentures.
•Our
board of directors may determine that, even though funds are
available for dividend payments, retaining the funds for internal
uses, such as expansion of our operations, is a better
strategy.
If we fail to pay dividends, capital appreciation, if any, of our
common stock may be the sole opportunity for gains on an investment
in our common stock. In addition, in the event our bank subsidiary
becomes unable, due to regulatory restrictions, capital planning
needs or otherwise, to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to
service our debt, pay our other obligations or pay dividends on our
common stock. Accordingly, our inability to receive dividends from
our bank subsidiary could also have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations and the
value of your investment in our common stock.
Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
There are currently no unresolved Commission staff comments
received by the Company more than 180 days prior to the end of the
fiscal year covered by this annual report.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Company’s main office is located in a Company-owned 33,000
square foot building located at 719 Harkrider Street in downtown
Conway, Arkansas. As of December 31, 2022, our bank subsidiary
owned or leased a total of 76 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in
Florida, 63 branches in Texas, five branches in Alabama and one
branch in New York City. The Company also owns or leases other
buildings that provide space for operations, mortgage lending and
other general purposes. We believe that our banking and other
offices are in good condition and are suitable to our
needs.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
While we and our bank subsidiary and other affiliates are from time
to time parties to various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of their business, management believes, after
consultation with legal counsel, that there are no proceedings
threatened or pending against us or our bank subsidiary or other
affiliates that will, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial
condition.
Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol “HOMB.” As of February 21, 2023, there were approximately
1,776 stockholders of record of the Company’s common
stock.
Our policy is to declare regular quarterly dividends based upon our
earnings, financial position, capital improvements and such other
factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. The dividend
policy is subject to change, however, and the payment of dividends
is not necessarily dependent upon the availability of earnings and
future financial condition. Information regarding regulatory
restrictions on our ability to pay dividends is discussed in
“Supervision and Regulation – Payment of Dividends.”
During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company
utilized a portion of its stock repurchase program most recently
amended and approved by the Board of Directors on January 22, 2021.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis presents our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. This discussion should be
read together with the “Summary Consolidated Financial Data,” our
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other
financial data included in this document. In addition to the
historical information provided below, we have made certain
estimates and forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from
those anticipated in these estimates and in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those
discussed in the section of this document captioned “Risk Factors,”
and elsewhere in this document. Unless the context requires
otherwise, the terms “Company,” “HBI,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer
to Home BancShares, Inc. on a consolidated basis.
General
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Conway, Arkansas,
offering a broad array of financial services through our wholly
owned bank subsidiary, Centennial Bank (“Centennial”). As of
December 31, 2022, we had, on a consolidated basis, total
assets of $22.88 billion, loans receivable, net, of $14.12 billion,
total deposits of $17.94 billion, and stockholders’ equity of $3.53
billion.
We generate most of our revenue from interest on loans and
investments, service charges, and mortgage banking income. Deposits
and FHLB borrowed funds are our primary source of funding. Our
largest expenses are interest on our funding sources, salaries and
related employee benefits and occupancy and equipment. We measure
our performance by calculating our net interest margin, return on
average assets and return on average common equity. We also measure
our performance by our efficiency ratio and efficiency ratio, as
adjusted (non-GAAP). The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing
non-interest expense less amortization of core deposit intangibles
by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and
non-interest income. The efficiency ratio, as adjusted, is a
meaningful non-GAAP measure for management, as it excludes certain
items and is calculated by dividing non-interest expense less
amortization of core deposit intangibles by the sum of net interest
income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income excluding
certain items such as merger expenses, hurricane expenses and/or
gains and losses.

2022 Overview
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2022
and 2021
Our net income decreased $13.8 million, or 4.3%, to
$305.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from
$319.0 million for the same period in 2021. On a diluted
earnings per share basis, our earnings were $1.57 per share for the
year ended December 31, 2022 and $1.94 per share for the year
ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the acquisition of
Happy Bancshares, Inc. ("Happy"), which we completed on April 1,
2022, we incurred $49.6 million in merger expenses and recorded a
$45.2 million provision for credit losses on acquired loans for the
CECL "double count," an $11.4 million provision for credit losses
on acquired unfunded commitments and a $2.0 million provision for
credit losses on acquired held-to-maturity investment securities.
The summation of these items reduced net income by $81.6 million
($108.2 million pre-tax) and earnings per share by $0.42 per share
for the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of the
acquisition of Happy, the Company determined that an additional
$5.0 million provision for credit losses on loans was necessary due
to increased loan growth during the year. However, excluding the
impact of the acquisition of Happy, the Company determined no
additional provision for unfunded commitments or investment
securities was necessary as of December 31, 2022. During the year
ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $10.0 million in
income from the settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Company, net
of legal expense, $6.7 million in recoveries on historic losses
from loans charged off prior to acquisition, and $1.4 million in
special dividends from equity investments, which were partially
offset by $2.1 million in trust preferred securities ("TRUPS")
redemption fees, $1.3 million loss for the decrease in fair value
of marketable securities and $176,000 in hurricane
expenses.
Total interest income increased by $252.6 million, or 40.4%, and
non-interest income increased by $37.5 million, or 27.3%. This was
partially offset by a $177.1 million, or 59.3%, increase in
non-interest expense and a $66.9 million, or 128.1%, increase in
interest expense. These fluctuations are primarily due to the
acquisition of Happy during the second quarter of 2022 and the
rising rate environment. The increase in interest income resulted
from a $156.4 million, or 27.3%, increase in loan interest income,
a $70.6 million, or 142.0%, increase in investment income and a
$25.6 million, or 728.2%, increase in interest income on deposits
at other banks. The increase in non-interest income was primarily
due to a $27.6 million, or 133.2%, increase in other income, a
$14.8 million, or 66.6%, increase in service charges on deposit
accounts, a $10.9 million, or 555.9%, increase in trust fees, an
$8.1 million, or 22.3%, increase in other service charges and fees
and a $1.8 million, or 85.5%, increase in the cash value of life
insurance. These increases were partially offset by an $8.5
million, or 117.7%, decrease in income for the fair value
adjustment for marketable securities resulting from a $1.3 million
decrease in the fair value of marketable securities for the year
ended December 31, 2022, compared to a $7.2 million increase for
the year ended December 31, 2021, an $8.0 million, or 31.2%,
decrease in mortgage lending income, a $5.6 million, or 38.0%,
decrease in dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other, a $2.2
million, or 92.3%, decrease in the gain on sale of SBA loans and a
$1.5 million, or 75.0%, decrease in gain on OREO. Included within
other income was $15.0 million in income from the settlement of a
lawsuit brought by the Company and $6.7 million in recoveries on
historic losses from loans charged off prior to acquisition, and
included within dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other were $1.4
million in special dividends. The increase in non-interest expense
was due to a $68.1 million, or 39.9%, increase in salaries and
employee benefits, $49.6 million in merger and acquisition
expenses, a $33.8 million, or 52.1%, increase in other operating
expenses, a $16.8 million, or 45.8%, increase in occupancy and
equipment and a $10.7 million, or 43.9%, increase in data
processing expense. Included within other operating expense were
$5.0 million in legal expenses from a lawsuit brought by the
Company, $2.1 million in TRUPS redemption fees and $176,000 in
hurricane expenses. The increase in interest expense was primarily
due to a $61.1 million, or 244.8%, increase in interest on
deposits, a $3.5 million, or 45.7%, increase in interest on FHLB
and other borrowed funds and a $1.4 million, or 7.5%, increase in
interest on subordinated debentures as a result of the acquisition
of $140.0 million of subordinated debt and $23.2 million in
trust preferred securities from Happy during the second quarter of
2022. Income tax expense decreased by $8.4 million, or 8.6%, during
2022 due to the decrease in net income and the reduction in the
marginal tax rate related to the Happy acquisition.
Our net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis
increased from 3.66% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to
3.81% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The yield on
interest earning assets was 4.40% and 3.99% for the year ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as average interest
earning assets increased from $15.86 billion to $20.15 billion. The
increase in average earning assets is primarily the result of a
$2.57 billion increase in average loans receivable and a $1.87
billion increase in average investment securities, largely
resulting from the acquisition of Happy, which were partially
offset by a $151.9 million decrease in average interest-bearing
balances due from banks. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021, we recognized $16.3 million and $20.2 million, respectively,
in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. The
reduction in accretion was dilutive to the net interest margin by
approximately 2 basis points. During 2022, the Company experienced
a $31.8 million reduction in interest income from PPP loans due to
the forgiveness of the PPP loans and the acceleration of the
deferred fees for the loans that were forgiven. This reduction in
income was dilutive to the net interest margin by approximately 8
basis points. We recognized $3.8 million in event interest income
for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $6.7 million
in event income for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was
dilutive to the net interest margin by approximately 2 basis
points. The overall increase in the net interest margin was due to
an increase in interest income due to an increase in both average
earning assets at higher yields, which was partially offset by an
increase in interest expense due to an increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities at higher interest rates primarily as
a result of the Happy acquisition and the current rising interest
rate environment.
Our efficiency ratio was 49.53% for the year ended
December 31, 2022, compared to 40.81% for the same period in
2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our efficiency
ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 44.55%, compared to 42.12%
reported for the year ended December 31, 2021. (See Table 29
for the non-GAAP tabular reconciliation).
Our return on average assets was 1.35% for the year ended
December 31, 2022, compared to 1.83% for the same period in
2021, and our return on average assets, as adjusted (non-GAAP) was
1.67% or the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 1.73%
for the same period in 2021. Our return on average common equity
was 9.17% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to
11.89% for the same period in 2021.
Financial Condition as of and for the Years Ended December 31,
2022 and 2021
Our total assets as of December 31, 2022 increased $4.83
billion to $22.88 billion from the $18.05 billion reported as of
December 31, 2021. The increase in total assets is primarily
due to the acquisition of $6.69 billion in total assets, net of
purchase accounting adjustments, from Happy during the second
quarter of 2022. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.93 billion,
or 80.14%. Our loan portfolio balance increased $4.57 billion to
$14.41 billion as of December 31, 2022, from $9.84
billion as of December 31, 2021.
The increase in loans was due to the acquisition of $3.65 billion
in loans, net of purchase accounting adjustments, from Happy in the
second quarter of 2022 and $242.2 million in marine loans from
LendingClub Bank during the first quarter of 2022, as well as
$678.6 million in organic loan growth during 2022. Total deposits
increased $3.68 billion to $17.94 billion as of
December 31, 2022 compared to $14.26 billion as of
December 31, 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily due
to the acquisition of $5.86 billion in deposits, net of
purchase accounting adjustments, from Happy in the second quarter
of 2022, partially offset by $2.18 billion in deposit decline
during the year. Stockholders’ equity increased $760.6 million
to $3.53 billion as of December 31, 2022, compared to
$2.77 billion as of December 31, 2021. The increase in
stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $961.3
million in common stock issued to Happy shareholders for the
acquisition of Happy on April 1, 2022 and $305.3 million in net
income, which were partially offset by the $315.9 million
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, $128.4 million
of shareholder dividends paid and the repurchase of $70.9 million
of our common stock during 2022. The improvement in stockholders’
equity was 27.5% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared
to December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2022, our non-performing loans increased to
$60.9 million, or 0.42%, of total loans from $50.2 million, or
0.51%, of total loans as of December 31, 2021. The allowance
for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased
to 475.99% as of December 31, 2022, compared to 471.61% as of
December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans from our Arkansas
franchise were $8.4 million at December 31, 2022 compared to
$13.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans
from our Florida franchise were $20.5 million at December 31,
2022 compared to $26.8 million as of December 31, 2021.
Non-performing loans from our new Texas franchise were $22.2
million at December 31, 2022. Non-performing loans from our
Alabama franchise were $404,000 at December 31, 2022 compared
to $470,000 as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans from
our SPF franchise were $2.3 million at December 31, 2022
compared to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2021.
Non-performing loans from our Centennial CFG franchise were $7.1
million at December 31, 2022 compared to $7.5 million as of
December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2022, our non-performing assets increased
to $61.5 million, or 0.27%, of total assets from $51.8 million, or
0.29%, of total assets as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing
assets from our Arkansas franchise were $8.5 million at
December 31, 2022 compared to $14.4 million as of
December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets from our Florida
franchise were $20.8 million at December 31, 2022 compared to
$27.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets
from our new Texas franchise were $22.4 million at
December 31, 2022. Non-performing assets from our Alabama
franchise were $404,000 at December 31, 2022 compared to
$470,000 as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets from
our SPF franchise were $2.3 million at December 31, 2022
compared to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2021.
Non-performing assets from our CFG franchise were $7.1 million at
December 31, 2022 compared to $7.5 million as of
December 31, 2021.
The $7.1 million balance of non-accrual loans for our Centennial
CFG market balance of non-accrual loans for our Centennial CFG
market consists of two loans that are assessed for credit risk by
the Federal Reserve under the Shared National Credit Program. Due
to the condition of the two loans, partial charge-offs for a total
of $5.4 million were taken on these loans during 2022. The loans
are not current on either principal or interest, and we have
reversed any interest that had accrued subsequent to the
non-accrual date designated by the Federal Reserve. Any interest
payments that are received will be applied to the principal
balance.
2021 Overview
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2021
and 2020
Our net income increased $104.6 million, or 48.8%, to $319.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $214.4
million for the same period in 2020. On a diluted earnings per
share basis, our earnings were $1.94 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2021 and $1.30 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021,
the Company did not record a provision for credit losses but did
record a $4.8 million negative provision for unfunded commitments
compared to a $112.3 million provision for credit losses and a
$17.0 million provision for unfunded commitments for a total credit
loss expense of $129.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2020. The $4.8 million negative provision for the year ended
December 31, 2021 was due to a single commercial & industrial
loan for which a reserve was no longer considered necessary due to
the borrower’s current cash flow position. The $129.3 million of
total credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was
primarily due to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic,
with $9.3 million as a result of the acquisition of LH-Finance on
February 29, 2020. The Company’s provisioning model is closely tied
to unemployment rate projections which continued to improve
following the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company determined that
an additional provision for credit losses was not necessary.
Despite the improvements in the economic and public health outlooks
in the United States during 2021, the emergence of the Delta
variant during the second quarter and the Omicron variant during
the fourth quarter resulted in significant uncertainty about the
future impact of the pandemic on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. As a result, the Company
determined that a negative provision for credit losses was not
appropriate at the end of 2021, and the level of the allowance for
credit losses was considered adequate as of December 31, 2021. The
Company also recorded a $7.2 million adjustment for the increase in
fair market value of marketable securities, $12.5 million of
special dividend income from our equity investments, $5.1 million
recovery on historic losses from loans charged-off prior to
acquisition, $1.9 million of merger and acquisition expense and a
$219,000 gain on sale of investment securities.
Total interest expense decreased by $41.2 million, or 44.1%, and
non-interest income increased by $25.8 million, or 23.1%. This was
partially offset by a $50.8 million, or 7.5%, decrease in total
interest income and a $11.1 million, or 3.9%, increase in
non-interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to a $38.2 million decrease in interest on deposits
and a $1.9 million decrease in interest on FHLB borrowed funds. The
increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $9.2 million
increase in the fair value adjustment on marketable securities, an
$8.3 million increase in other income, a $5.8 million increase in
other service charges and fees, a $2.4 million increase in
dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB & other and a $1.7 million
increase in gain on sale of SBA loans and was partially offset by a
$3.4 million decrease in mortgage lending income. The decrease in
interest income was primarily due to a $53.4 million decrease in
loan interest income. The increase in non-interest expense was due
to a $6.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a
$5.2 million increase in data processing expense and a $1.2 million
increase in merger and acquisition expense and was partially offset
by a $1.8 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expense.
Income tax expense increased by $34.5 million during 2021 due to an
increase in net income.
Our net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis
decreased from 4.06% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 3.66%
for the year ended December 31, 2021. The yield on interest earning
assets was 3.99% and 4.70% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively, as average interest earning assets increased
from $14.50 billion to $15.86 billion. The increase in average
earning assets was primarily the result of a $1.84 billion increase
in average interest-bearing balances due from banks and a $659.0
million increase in average investment securities,
partially offset by the $1.13 billion decrease in average loans
receivable. Average PPP loan balances were $434.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2021. These loans bore interest at 1.00%
plus the accretion of the deferred origination fee. Including
deferred fees, we recognized total interest income of $35.6 million
on PPP loans for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The PPP loans were accretive to the net interest margin by 13 basis
points for the year ended December 31, 2021.
This was primarily due to approximately $910.1 million of the
Company’s PPP loans being forgiven during 2021 which included the
acceleration of $24.8 million in deferred fees for the loans that
were forgiven. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $3.6
million in remaining unamortized PPP fees. The COVID-19 pandemic
and the resulting governmental response created a significant
amount of excess liquidity in the market.
As a result, we had an increase of $1.84 billion in average
interest-bearing cash balances for the year ended December 31, 2021
compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. This excess liquidity
was dilutive to the net interest margin by 46 basis points. For the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we
recognized $20.2 million and $27.4 million, respectively, in total
net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. The reduction in
accretion was dilutive to the net interest margin by 4 basis
points. We recognized $6.7 million in event interest income for the
year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $2.1 million in event
income for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increased the net
interest margin by 3 basis points.
Our efficiency ratio was 40.81% for the year ended
December 31, 2021, compared to 40.20% for the same period in
2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our efficiency
ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 42.12%, compared to 40.36%
reported for the year ended December 31, 2020. (See Table 29
for the non-GAAP tabular reconciliation).
Our return on average assets was 1.83% for the year ended
December 31, 2021, compared to 1.33% for the same period in
2020. Our return on average common equity was 11.89% for the year
ended December 31, 2021, compared to 8.57% for the same period
in 2020.
Financial Condition as of and for the Years Ended December 31,
2021 and 2020
Our total assets as of December 31, 2021 increased $1.65 billion to
$18.05 billion from the $16.40 billion reported as of December 31,
2020. Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.39 billion, or
188.8%.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to loan paydowns
as well as the significant amount of excess liquidity in the market
as a continued result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying
governmental response.
Our loan portfolio balance decreased $1.38 billion to $9.84 billion
as of December 31, 2021, from $11.22 billion as of December 31,
2020. The decrease in the loan portfolio was due to organic loan
decline of $822.2 million and $910.1 million of the Company’s PPP
loans being forgiven during 2021, which were partially offset by
$347.7 million in new PPP loan originations during
2021.
Total deposits increased $1.53 billion to $14.26 billion as of
December 31, 2021 compared to $12.73 billion as of December 31,
2020, which was due to customers holding higher deposit balances in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the resulting
governmental response to the pandemic. Stockholders’ equity
increased $160.0 million to $2.77 billion as of December 31, 2021,
compared to $2.61 billion as of December 31, 2020. The increase in
stockholders’ equity was primarily associated with the $319.0
million in net income, partially offset by the $33.7 million
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, $92.1 million
of shareholder dividends paid and the repurchase of $44.5 million
of our common stock during 2021. The improvement in stockholders’
equity was 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to
December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, our non-performing loans decreased to
$50.2 million, or 0.51%, of total loans from $74.1 million, or
0.66%, of total loans as of December 31, 2020. The allowance for
credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased
to
471.61% as of December 31, 2021, compared to 331.10% as of December
31, 2020. Non-performing loans from our Arkansas franchise were
$13.9 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $24.1 million as of
December 31, 2020. Non-performing loans from our Florida franchise
were $26.8 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $43.1 million
as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing loans from our Alabama
franchise were $470,000 at December 31, 2021 compared to
$530,000 as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing loans from our SPF
franchise were $1.5 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $3.6
million as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing loans from our
Centennial CFG franchise were $7.5 million at December 31, 2021
compared to $2.8 million as of December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, our non-performing assets decreased to
$51.8 million, or
0.29%, of total assets from $78.6 million, or 0.48%, of total
assets as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing assets from our
Arkansas franchise were $14.4 million at December 31, 2021 compared
to $25.6 million as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing assets
from our Florida franchise were $27.9 million at December 31, 2021
compared to $46.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing
assets from our Alabama franchise were $470,000 at December 31,
2021 compared to $564,000 as of December 31, 2020. Non-performing
assets from our SPF franchise were $1.5 million at December 31,
2021 compared to $3.6 million as of December 31, 2020.
Non-performing assets from our CFG franchise were
$7.5 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $2.8 million as of
December 31, 2020.
The $7.5 million balance of non-accrual loans for our Centennial
CFG market consisted of
two loans that are assessed for Credit risk by the Federal Reserve
under the Shared National Credit Program. The decision to place
these loans on non-accrual status was made by the Federal Reserve
and not the Company. The loans that made up the total balance were
still current on both principal and interest at December 31, 2021.
However, all interest payments were currently being applied to the
principal balance. Because the Federal Reserve required us to place
these loans on non-accrual status, we have reversed any interest
that had accrued subsequent to the non-accrual date designated by
the Federal Reserve.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Overview.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements based on the
selection of certain accounting policies, generally accepted
accounting principles and customary practices in the banking
industry. These policies, in certain areas, require us to make
significant estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies are
described in detail in the notes to our consolidated financial
statements included as part of this document.
We consider a policy critical if (i) the accounting estimate
requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the
time of the accounting estimate; and (ii) different estimates that
could reasonably have been used in the current period, or changes
in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from
period to period, would have a material impact on our financial
statements. Using these criteria, we believe that the accounting
policies most critical to us are those associated with our lending
practices, including the accounting for the allowance for credit
losses, foreclosed assets, investments, intangible assets, income
taxes and stock options.
Revenue Recognition.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
("ASC Topic 606"), establishes principles for reporting information
about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or
services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it
expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or
services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. The
majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to
ASC Topic 606, including revenue generated from financial
instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit, investment
securities and mortgage lending income, as these activities are
subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.
Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within
the scope of ASC Topic 606, which are presented in our income
statements as components of non-interest income are as
follows:
•Service
charges on deposit accounts – These represent general service fees
for monthly account maintenance and activity or transaction-based
fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue
(service period), item-based revenue or some other individual
attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance
obligation is completed, which is generally monthly for account
maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such
as a wire transfer). Payment for such performance obligations are
generally received at the time the performance obligations are
satisfied.
•Other
service charges and fees – These represent credit card interchange
fees and Centennial CFG loan fees. The interchange fees are
recorded in the period the performance obligation is satisfied
which is generally the cash basis based on agreed upon contracts.
Centennial CFG loan fees are based on loan or other negotiated
agreements with customers and are accounted for under ASC Topic
310. Interchange fees were $22.1 million and $16.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively. Centennial CFG loan fees were $11.8 million and $11.9
million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, respectively.
•Trust
fees - The Company enters into contracts with its customers to
manage assets for investment, and/or transact on their accounts.
The Company generally satisfies its performance obligations as
services are rendered. The management fees are percentage based,
flat, percentage of income or a fixed percentage calculated upon
the average balance of assets depending upon account type. Fees are
collected on a monthly or annual basis.
Credit Losses.
We account for credit losses in accordance with ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
("CECL"). The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL
methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized
cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt
securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures
not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters
of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments)
and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance
with Topic 842 on leases.
Investments – Available-for-sale.
Securities available-for-sale ("AFS") are reported at fair value
with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income
(loss), net of taxes. Securities that are held as
available-for-sale are used as a part of our asset/liability
management strategy. Securities that may be sold in response to
interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to
increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors are
classified as available-for-sale. The Company evaluates all
securities quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss
position require a provision for credit losses in accordance with
ASC 326. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell or
is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell
the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either
of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the
security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value
through income. For securities that do not meet this criteria, the
Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted
from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the
Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than
amortized cost, and changes to the rating of the security by a
rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the
security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a
credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be
collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost
basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected
to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit
loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the
credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than
the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded
through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other
comprehensive income. The Company has made the election to exclude
accrued interest receivable on AFS securities from the estimate of
credit losses and report accrued interest separately on the
consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit
losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss
expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management
believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed or when
either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is
met.
Investments – Held-to-Maturity.
Debt securities held-to-maturity ("HTM"), which include any
security for which we have the positive intent and ability to hold
until maturity, are reported at historical cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and
discounts are amortized/accreted to the call date to interest
income using the constant effective yield method over the estimated
life of the security. The Company evaluates all securities
quarterly to determine if any securities in a loss position require
a provision for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments.
The Company measures expected credit losses on HTM securities on a
collective basis by major security type, with each type sharing
similar risk characteristics. The estimate of expected credit
losses considers historical credit loss information that is
adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable
forecasts. The Company has made the election to exclude accrued
interest receivable on HTM securities from the estimate of credit
losses and report accrued interest separately on the consolidated
balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are
recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense.
Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes
the uncollectability of a security is confirmed.
Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses.
Except for loans acquired during our acquisitions, substantially
all of our loans receivable are reported at their outstanding
principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, as it is
management’s intent to hold them for the foreseeable future or
until maturity or payoff, except for mortgage loans held for sale.
Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans
based on the principal balance outstanding.
The allowance for credit losses on loans receivable is a valuation
account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to
present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans
are charged off against the allowance when management believes the
uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and expected
recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously
charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available
information, from internal and external sources, relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical
loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific
risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards,
portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in
environmental conditions, such as changes in the national
unemployment rate, gross domestic product, rental vacancy rate,
housing price indices and rental vacancy rate index.
The allowance for credit losses is measured based on call report
segment as these types of loans exhibit similar risk
characteristics. The identified loan segments are as
follows:
•1-4
family construction
•All
other construction
•1-4
family revolving home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”) & junior
liens
•1-4
family senior liens
•Multifamily
•Owner
occupies commercial real estate
•Non-owner
occupied commercial real estate
•Commercial
& industrial, agricultural, non-depository financial
institutions, purchase/carry securities, other
•Consumer
auto
•Other
consumer
•Other
consumer - SPF
The allowance for credit losses for each segment is measured
through the use of the discounted cash flow method. Loans evaluated
individually that are considered to be impaired are not included in
the collective evaluation. For those loans that are classified as
impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash
flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired
loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. For loans for
which a specific reserve is not recorded, an allowance is recorded
based on the loss rate for the respective pool within the
collective evaluation if a specific reserve is not
recorded.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of
the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The
contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and
modifications unless either of the following applies:
•Management
has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that troubled
debt restructuring will be executed with an individual
borrower.
•The
extension or renewal options are included in the original or
modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally
cancellable by the Company.
Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors
that are not considered within our modeling processes but are
nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within
our loan pools. These qualitative factors ("Q-Factors") and other
qualitative adjustments may increase or decrease management's
estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or
amount based upon the estimated level of risk. The various risks
that may be considered in making Q-Factor and other qualitative
adjustments include, among other things, the impact of (i) changes
in lending policies, procedures and strategies; (ii) changes in
nature and volume of the portfolio; (iii) staff experience; (iv)
changes in volume and trends in classified loans, delinquencies and
nonaccruals; (v) concentration risk; (vi) trends in underlying
collateral values; (vii) external factors such as competition,
legal and regulatory environment; (viii) changes in the quality of
the loan review system and (ix) economic conditions.
Loans considered impaired, according to ASC 326, are loans for
which, based on current information and events, it is probable that
we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. The aggregate amount of
impairment of loans is utilized in evaluating the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses and amount of provisions thereto.
Losses on impaired loans are charged against the allowance for
credit losses when in the process of collection, it appears likely
that such losses will be realized. The accrual of interest on
impaired loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion the
collection of interest is doubtful or generally when loans are 90
days or more past due. When accrual of interest is discontinued,
all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is
subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are
received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual
status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually
due are brought current and future payments are reasonably
assured.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes
that the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration
to economic and business conditions and collection efforts, is such
that collection of interest is doubtful, or generally when loans
are 90 days or more past due. Loans are charged against the
allowance for credit losses when management believes that the
collectability of the principal is unlikely. Accrued interest
related to non-accrual loans is generally charged against the
allowance for credit losses when accrued in prior years and
reversed from interest income if accrued in the current year.
Interest income on non-accrual loans may be recognized to the
extent cash payments are received, although the majority of
payments received are usually applied to principal. Non-accrual
loans are generally returned to accrual status when principal and
interest payments are less than 90 days past due, the customer has
made required payments for at least six months, and we reasonably
expect to collect all principal and interest.
Acquisition Accounting and Acquired Loans.
We account for our acquisitions under ASC Topic 805,
Business Combinations,
which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. All
identifiable assets acquired, including loans, and liabilities
assumed are recorded at fair value. In accordance with ASC 326, the
Company records both a discount and an allowance for credit losses
on acquired loans. All purchased loans are recorded at fair value
in accordance with the fair value methodology prescribed in FASB
ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements.
The fair value estimates associated with the loans include
estimates related to expected prepayments and the amount and timing
of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash
flows.
The Company has purchased loans, some of which have experienced
more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination.
Purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans are recorded at the
amount paid. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the
same methodology as other loans. The initial allowance for credit
losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual
loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for
credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The
difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par
value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is
amortized into interest income over the life of the loan.
Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded
through the provision for credit loss.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit
Exposures:
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual
period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a
contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is
unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for
credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as
a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes
consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an
estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be
funded over its estimated life.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale.
Real estate and personal properties acquired through or in lieu of
loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair
value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real
estate and personal properties are carried at fair value less costs
to sell. Gains and losses from the sale of other real estate and
personal properties are recorded in non-interest income, and
expenses used to maintain the properties are included in
non-interest expenses.
Intangible Assets.
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles.
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value
of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. The core deposit
intangible represents the excess intangible value of acquired
deposit customer relationships as determined by valuation
specialists. The core deposit intangibles are being amortized over
48 months to 121 months on a straight-line basis. Goodwill is not
amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment on at least an
annual basis. We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill and
core deposit intangibles as required by FASB ASC 350,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,
in the fourth quarter or more often if events and circumstances
indicate there may be an impairment.
Income Taxes.
We account for income taxes in accordance with income tax
accounting guidance (ASC 740,
Income Taxes).
The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of
income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax
expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current
period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the
taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. We determine
deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet)
method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability
is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and
tax basis of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax
rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they
occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax
assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are
recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical
merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon
examination. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of
more than 50 percent; the terms “examined” and “upon examination”
also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation
processes, if any. A tax position that meets the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and
subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has
a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon
settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all
relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax
position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold
considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the
reporting date and is subject to the management’s judgment.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based
on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized.
Both we and our subsidiary file consolidated tax returns. Our
subsidiary provides for income taxes on a separate return basis,
and remits to us amounts determined to be currently
payable.
Stock Compensation.
In accordance with FASB ASC 718,
Compensation - Stock Compensation,
and FASB ASC 505-50,
Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees,
the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of
grant. We recognize compensation expense for the grant-date fair
value of the option award over the vesting period of the
award.
Acquisitions
Acquisition of Happy Bancshares, Inc.
On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of
Happy Bancshares, Inc. (“Happy”), and merged Happy State Bank into
Centennial Bank. The Company issued approximately 42.4 million
shares of its common stock valued at approximately
$958.8 million as of April 1, 2022. In addition, the
holders of certain Happy stock-based awards received approximately
$3.7 million in cash in cancellation of such awards, for a
total transaction value of approximately $962.5 million. The
acquisition added new markets for expansion and brought
complementary businesses together to drive synergies and
growth.
Including the effects of the known purchase accounting adjustments,
as of the acquisition date, Happy had approximately
$6.69 billion in total assets, $3.65 billion in loans and
$5.86 billion in customer deposits. Happy formerly operated
its banking business from 62 locations in Texas.
For further discussion of the acquisition, see Note 2 "Business
Combinations" to the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Acquisition of Marine Portfolio
On February 4, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of the
performing marine loan portfolio of Utah-based LendingClub Bank
(“LendingClub”). Under the terms of the purchase agreement with
LendingClub, the Company acquired yacht loans totaling
approximately $242.2 million. This portfolio of loans is housed
within the Company's Shore Premier Finance division, which is
responsible for servicing the acquired loan portfolio and
originating new loan production.
LH-Finance
On February 29, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of
LH-Finance, the marine lending division of People’s United Bank,
N.A. The Company paid a purchase price of approximately $421.2
million in cash. LH-Finance provided direct consumer financing for
USCG registered high-end sail and power boats. Additionally,
LH-Finance provided inventory floor plan lines of credit to marine
dealers, primarily those selling USCG documented
vessels.
Including the purchase accounting adjustments, as of the
acquisition date, LH-Finance had approximately $409.1 million in
total assets, including $407.4 million in total loans, which
resulted in goodwill of $14.6 million being recorded.
The acquired portfolio of loans is now housed in our SPF division.
The SPF division is responsible for servicing the acquired loan
portfolio and originating new loan production. In connection with
this acquisition, we opened a new loan production office in
Baltimore, Maryland.
See Note 2 “Business Combinations” in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
acquisition of LH-Finance.
We will continue evaluating all types of potential bank
acquisitions, which may include FDIC-assisted acquisitions as
opportunities arise, to determine what is in the best interest of
our Company. Our goal in making these decisions is to maximize the
return to our investors.
Branches
As opportunities arise, we will continue to open new (commonly
referred to as
de novo)
branches in our current markets and in other attractive market
areas. We opened one
de novo
branch location in 2022 in Ft. Worth, Texas.
As of December 31, 2022, we had 223 branch locations. There
were 76 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in Florida, 63 branches
in Texas, five branches in Alabama and one branch in New York
City.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2022,
2021 and 2020
Our net income decreased $13.8 million, or 4.3%, to
$305.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from
$319.0 million for the same period in 2021. On a diluted
earnings per share basis, our earnings were $1.57 per share for the
year ended December 31, 2022 and $1.94 per share for the year
ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the acquisition of
Happy, which we completed on April 1, 2022, we incurred $49.6
million in merger expenses and recorded a $45.2 million provision
for credit losses on acquired loans for the CECL "double count," an
$11.4 million provision for credit losses on acquired unfunded
commitments and a $2.0 million provision for credit losses on
acquired held-to-maturity investment securities. The summation of
these items reduced net income by $81.6 million ($108.2 million
pre-tax) and earnings per share by $0.42 per share for the year
ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of
Happy, the Company determined that an additional $5.0 million
provision for credit losses on loans was necessary due to increased
loan growth during the year. However, excluding the impact of the
acquisition of Happy, the Company determined no additional
provision for unfunded commitments or investment securities was
necessary as of December 31, 2022. During the year ended December
31, 2022, the Company recorded $10.0 million in income from the
settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Company, net of legal
expense, $6.7 million in recoveries on historic losses from loans
charged off prior to acquisition, and $1.4 million in special
dividends from equity investments, which were partially offset by
$2.1 million in TRUPS redemption fees, $1.3 million loss for the
decrease in fair value of marketable securities and $176,000 in
hurricane expenses.
Our net income increased $104.6 million, or 48.8%, to $319.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $214.4
million for the same period in 2020. On a diluted earnings per
share basis, our earnings were $1.94 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2021 and $1.30 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021,
the Company did not record a provision for credit losses but did
record a $4.8 million negative provision for unfunded commitments
compared to a $112.3 million provision for credit losses and a
$17.0 million provision for unfunded commitments for a total credit
loss expense of $129.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2020. The $4.8 million negative provision for the year ended
December 31, 2021 was due to a single commercial & industrial
loan for which a reserve was no longer considered necessary due to
the borrower’s current cash flow position. The $129.3 million of
total credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was
primarily due to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic,
with $9.3 million as a result of the acquisition of LH-Finance on
February 29, 2020. The Company’s provisioning model is closely tied
to unemployment rate projections which continued to improve
following the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company determined that
an additional provision for credit losses was not necessary.
Despite the improvements in the economic and public health outlooks
in the United States during 2021, the emergence of the Delta
variant during the second quarter and the Omicron variant during
the fourth quarter resulted in significant uncertainty about the
future impact of the pandemic on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. As a result, the Company
determined that a negative provision for credit losses was not
appropriate at the end of 2021, and the level of the allowance for
credit losses was considered adequate as of December 31, 2021. The
Company also recorded a $7.2 million adjustment for the increase in
fair market value of marketable securities, $12.5 million of
special dividend income from our equity investments, $5.1 million
recovery on historic losses from loans charged-off prior to
acquisition, $1.9 million of merger and acquisition expense and a
$219,000 gain on sale of investment securities.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, our principal source of earnings, is the
difference between the interest income generated by earning assets
and the total interest cost of the deposits and borrowings obtained
to fund those assets. Factors affecting the level of net interest
income include the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, yields earned on loans and investments and rates paid
on deposits and other borrowings, the level of non-performing loans
and the amount of non-interest-bearing liabilities supporting
earning assets. Net interest income is analyzed in the discussion
and tables below on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The
adjustment to convert certain income to a fully taxable equivalent
basis consists of dividing tax-exempt income by one minus the
combined federal and state income tax rate (24.6735% for the year
ended December 31, 2022, 25.740% for the year ended
December 31, 2021 and 26.135% for year ended December 31,
2020).
The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including
the Federal Funds rate, and thereby influences the general market
rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by
financial institutions. In 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the
target rate to 0.00% to 0.25%. This remained in effect throughout
all of 2021. The Federal Reserve increased the target rate seven
times during 2022. First, on March 16, 2022, the target rate was
increased to 0.25% to 0.50%. Second, on May 4, 2022, the target
rate was increased to 0.75% to 1.00%. Third, on June 15, 2022, the
target rate was increased to 1.50% to 1.75%. Fourth, on July 27,
2022, the target rate was increased to 2.25% to 2.50%. Fifth, on
September 21, 2022, the target rate was increased to 3.00% to
3.25%. Sixth, on November 2, 2022, the target rate was increased to
3.75% to 4.00%. Seventh, on December 14, 2022, the target rate was
increased to 4.25% to 4.50%. The Federal Reserve increased the
target rate to 4.50% to 4.75% on February 1, 2023.
Our net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis
increased from 3.66% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to
3.81% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The yield on
interest earning assets was 4.40% and 3.99% for the year ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as average interest
earning assets increased from $15.86 billion to $20.15 billion. The
increase in average earning assets is primarily the result of a
$2.57 billion increase in average loans receivable and a $1.87
billion increase in average investment securities, largely
resulting from the acquisition of Happy, which were partially
offset by a $151.9 million decrease in average interest-bearing
balances due from banks. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021, we recognized $16.3 million and $20.2 million, respectively,
in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. The
reduction in accretion was dilutive to the net interest margin by
approximately 2 basis points. During 2022, the Company experienced
a $31.8 million reduction in interest income from PPP loans due to
the forgiveness of the PPP loans and the acceleration of the
deferred fees for the loans that were forgiven. This reduction in
income was dilutive to the net interest margin by approximately 8
basis points. We recognized $3.8 million in event interest income
for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $6.7 million
in event income for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was
dilutive to the net interest margin by approximately 2 basis
points. The overall increase in the net interest margin was due to
an increase in interest income due to an increase in both average
earning assets at higher yields which was partially offset by an
increase in interest expense due to an increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities at higher interest rates primarily as
a result of the Happy acquisition and the current rising interest
rate environment.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased
$187.3 million, or 32.3%, to $767.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, from $580.1 million for the same period in
2021. This increase in net interest income was the result of a
$254.2 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a
$66.9 million increase in interest expense on a fully taxable
equivalent basis. The $254.2 million increase in interest income
was primarily the result of the higher level of average interest
earnings assets due to the acquisition of Happy during the second
quarter of 2022 and the increasing interest rate environment. The
increase in earning assets resulted in an increase in interest
income of approximately $185.5 million, and the higher yield on
earning assets resulted in a decrease in interest income of
approximately $68.7 million. The $66.9 million increase in interest
expense was primarily the result of the higher level of average
interest bearing liabilities due to the acquisition of Happy during
the second quarter of 2022 and the increasing interest rate
environment. The higher rates on interest bearing liabilities
resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $52.8
million, and the increase in interest bearing liabilities resulted
in an increase in interest expense of approximately $14.0
million.
Our net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis
decreased from 4.06% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 3.66%
for the year ended December 31, 2021. The yield on interest earning
assets was 3.99% and 4.70% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively, as average interest earning assets increased
from $14.50 billion to $15.86 billion. The increase in average
earning assets was primarily the result of a $1.84 billion increase
in average interest-bearing balances due from banks and a $659.0
million increase in average investment securities,
partially offset by the $1.13 billion decrease in average loans
receivable. Average PPP loan balances were $434.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2021. These loans bore interest at 1.00%
plus the accretion of the deferred origination fee. Including
deferred fees, we recognized total interest income of $35.6 million
on PPP loans for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The PPP loans were accretive to the net interest margin by 13 basis
points for the year ended December 31, 2021.
This was primarily due to approximately $910.1 million of the
Company’s PPP loans being forgiven during 2021 which included the
acceleration of $24.8 million in deferred fees for the loans that
were forgiven. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $3.6
million in remaining unamortized PPP fees. The COVID-19 pandemic
and the resulting governmental response created a significant
amount of excess liquidity in the market. As a result, we had an
increase of $1.84 billion in average interest-bearing cash balances
for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020. This excess liquidity was dilutive to the net
interest margin by 46 basis points. For the years ended December
31, 2021 and 2020, we
recognized $20.2 million and $27.4 million, respectively, in total
net accretion for acquired loans and deposits. The reduction in
accretion was dilutive to the net interest margin by 4 basis
points. We recognized $6.7 million in event interest income for the
year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $2.1 million in event
income for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increased the net
interest margin by 3 basis points.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased
$8.5 million, or 1.45%, to $580.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021, from $588.6 million for the same period in 2020.
This decrease in net interest income was the result of a $49.7
million decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $41.2
million decrease in interest expense on a fully taxable equivalent
basis. The $49.7 million decrease in interest income was primarily
the result of higher levels of earning assets at lower yields.
Although our interest earning assets increased, our average loan
balances decreased by $1.13 billion while average interest-bearing
balances due from banks increased by $1.84 billion. The lower yield
on earning assets resulted in a decrease in interest income of
approximately $5.9 million, and the change in composition of
earning assets at lower yields resulted in a decrease in interest
income of approximately $43.8 million. The lower yield was
primarily driven by the decrease in income on loans of $53.6
million, which was partially offset by an increase in income on
investment securities of $2.2 million and a $1.7 million increase
in income on interest-bearing balances due from banks. The decrease
in interest income also reflected a $7.2 million decrease in loan
accretion income. The $41.2 million decrease in interest expense
was primarily the result of interest-bearing liabilities repricing
in a decreasing interest rate environment, which lowered interest
expense by $34.9 million, as well as a $6.3 million decrease in
interest expense resulting from a change in the composition of
average interest bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest
expense was primarily driven by a $38.2 million decrease in
interest expense on deposits and a $1.9 million decrease in
interest expense on FHLB borrowed funds.
Tables 2 and 3 reflect an analysis of net interest income on a
fully taxable equivalent basis for the years ended
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, as well as changes in fully
taxable equivalent net interest margin for the years 2022 compared
to 2021 and 2021 compared to 2020.

Table 4 shows, for each major category of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, the average amount outstanding, the
interest income or expense on that amount and the average rate
earned or expensed for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021
and 2020. The table also shows the average rate earned on all
earning assets, the average rate expensed on all interest-bearing
liabilities, the net interest spread and the net interest margin
for the same periods. The analysis is presented on a fully taxable
equivalent basis. Non-accrual loans were included in average loans
for the purpose of calculating the rate earned on total
loans.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Company accounts for credit losses in accordance with ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL
methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized
cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt
securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures
not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters
of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments)
and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance
with Topic 842 on leases.
Credit Loss Expense:
As a result of the acquisition of Happy, which we completed on
April 1, 2022, the Company recorded a $45.2 million provision for
credit losses on acquired loans for the CECL "double count," an
$11.4 million provision for credit losses on acquired unfunded
commitments, and a $2.0 million provision for credit losses on
acquired held-to-maturity investment securities. Excluding the
impact of the acquisition of Happy, the Company determined that an
additional $5.0 million provision for credit losses on loans was
necessary due to increased loan growth during the year. However,
excluding the impact of the acquisition of Happy, the Company
determined no additional provision for unfunded commitments or
investment securities was necessary as of December 31,
2022.
Net charge-offs to average total loans increased to 0.11% for the
year ended December 31, 2022 from 0.08% for the year ended
December 31, 2021. In addition, non-performing loans to total
loans decreased from 0.51% as of December 31, 2021 to 0.42% as
of December 31, 2022.
Loans.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available
information, from internal and external sources, relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical
loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific
risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards,
portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in
environmental conditions, such as changes in the national
unemployment rate, gross domestic product, national retail sales
index, housing price indices and rental vacancy rate
index.
Acquired loans.
In accordance with ASC 326, the Company records both a discount and
an allowance for credit losses on acquired loans. This is commonly
referred to as “double accounting" or "double count."
The allowance for credit losses is measured based on call report
segment as these types of loan exhibit similar risk
characteristics. The identified loan segments are as
follows:
•1-4
family construction
•All
other construction
•1-4
family revolving home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”) & junior
liens
•1-4
family senior liens
•Multifamily
•Owner
occupies commercial real estate
•Non-owner
occupied commercial real estate
•Commercial
& industrial, agricultural, non-depository financial
institutions, purchase/carry securities, other
•Consumer
auto
•Other
consumer
•Other
consumer - SPF
The allowance for credit losses for each segment is measured
through the use of the discounted cash flow method. Loans evaluated
individually that are considered to be impaired are not included in
the collective evaluation. For those loans that are classified as
impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash
flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired
loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. For loans for
which a specific reserve is not recorded, an allowance is recorded
based on the loss rate for the respective pool within the
collective evaluation if a specific reserve is not
recorded.
Investments – Available-for-sale:
The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any
securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses
in accordance with ASC 326. The Company first assesses whether it
intends to sell or is more likely than not that the Company will be
required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost
basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to
sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to
fair value through income. For securities that do not meet these
criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value
has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this
assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is
less than amortized cost, and changes to the rating of the security
by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to
the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates
that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected
to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized
cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows
expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a
credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded
for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is
less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not
been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized
in other comprehensive income. The Company has made the election to
exclude accrued interest receivable on AFS securities from the
estimate of credit losses and report accrued interest separately on
the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for
credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit
loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a security is confirmed
or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to
sell is met.
Investments – Held-to-Maturity.
The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any
securities in a loss position require a provision for credit losses
in accordance with ASC 326. The Company measures expected credit
losses on HTM securities on a collective basis by major security
type, with each type sharing similar risk characteristics. The
estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss
information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable
and supportable forecasts. The Company has made the election to
exclude accrued interest receivable on HTM securities from the
estimate of credit losses and report accrued interest separately on
the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the allowance for
credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit
loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a security is
confirmed.
The Company recorded a $2.0 million provision for credit losses on
the held-to-maturity investment securities during the second
quarter of 2022 as a result of the investment securities acquired
as part of the Happy acquisition. Of the Company's held-to-maturity
securities, $1.11 billion, or 86.2%, are municipal securities. To
estimate the necessary loss provision, the Company utilized
historical default and recovery rates of the municipal bond sector
and applied these rates using a pooling method. The remainder of
investments classified as held-to-maturity are U.S.
government-sponsored enterprises and mortgage-backed securities all
of which are guaranteed by the U.S. government. Due to the inherent
low risk in these U.S. government guaranteed securities, no
provision for credit loss was established on this portion of the
portfolio.
At December 31 2022, the Company determined that the allowance for
credit losses of $842,000, resulting from economic uncertainty, was
adequate for the available-for-sale investment portfolio, and the
allowance for credit losses for the HTM portfolio resulting from
the Happy acquisition was considered adequate. No additional
provision for credit losses was considered necessary for the
portfolio.

Non-interest income increased $37.5 million, or 27.3%, to
$175.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from
$137.6 million for the same period in 2021. The primary
factors that resulted in this increase were the $27.6 million
increase in other income, the $14.8 million increase in
service charges on deposit accounts and the $10.9 million
increase in trust fees. Other factors were changes related to other
service charges and fees, mortgage lending income, cash value of
life insurance, dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB & other, gain on
sale of SBA loans, gain on OREO and fair value adjustment for
marketable securities.
Additional details for the year ended December 31, 2022 on
some of the more significant changes are as follows:
•The
$14.8 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts
is primarily due to an increase in overdraft and service charge
fees related to the acquisition of Happy.
•The
$8.1 million increase in other service charges and fees is
primarily due to an increase in interchange fees related to the
acquisition of Happy.
•The
$10.9 million increase in trust fees is primarily related to
an increase in trust fees resulting from the acquisition of
Happy.
•The
$8.0 million decrease in mortgage lending income is primarily
related to a decrease in volume of secondary market loans from the
high volume of loans during 2021. The decrease in volume is due to
the increase in interest rates.
•The
$1.8 million increase in cash value of life insurance is primarily
related to the increase in bank owned life insurance resulting from
the acquisition of Happy.
•The
$5.6 million decrease in dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB &
other is primarily due to a decrease in special dividends from
equity investments, partially offset by an increase in dividend
income from marketable securities and an increase in FRB stock
holdings related to the acquisition of Happy.
•The
$2.2 million decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans is
primarily due to the decrease in the volume of SBA loan sales
during 2022.
•The
$1.5 million decrease in gain on OREO resulted from a
reduction in the level of sales of OREO during 2022.
•The
$8.5 million decrease in the fair value adjustment for
marketable securities is due to a reduction in the fair market
value of marketable securities held by the Company.
•The
$27.6 million increase in other income is primarily due to
$15.0 million in income from the settlement of a lawsuit brought by
the Company and a $6.3 million adjustment for equity method
investments. Other factors include a $2.1 million increase in
additional income for items previously charged off, $2.5 million
increase in rental income and a $2.0 million increase in investment
brokerage fee income, partially offset by a $478,000 decrease in
gain on life insurance.
Non-interest income increased $25.8 million, or 23.1%, to $137.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $111.8 million
for the same period in 2020. The primary factors that resulted in
this increase were the impact of fair value adjustment for
marketable securities which increased non-interest income by $9.2
million, the $8.3 million increase in other income and the $5.8
million increase in other service charges and fees. Other factors
were changes related mortgage lending income, dividends from FHLB,
FRB, FNBB & other and gain on sale of SBA loans.
Additional details for the year ended December 31, 2021 on
some of the more significant changes are as follows:
•The
$5.8 million increase in other service charges and fees is
primarily due to an increase in Centennial CFG property finance
loan fees and Mastercard income.
• The $3.4 million decrease in mortgage
lending income is primarily due to a decrease in volume of
secondary market loans from the peak in 2020.
• The $2.4 million increase in dividends
from FHLB, FRB, FNBB & other is primarily due to an increase in
special dividends from equity investments.
• The $1.7 million increase in gain on sale
of SBA loans is primarily due to the increase in loan sales during
2021.
• The $9.2 million gain in the fair value
adjustment for marketable securities is related to an increase in
the fair market value of marketable securities held by the
Company.
• The $8.3 million increase in other income
is primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in additional income
for items previously charged off and a $2.2 million increase in
investment brokerage fee income.
