NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Interstate Bank (“FIB”) (collectively, the “Company”) contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The balance sheet information at December 31, 2023 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain reclassifications, none of which were material, have been made to conform the Company’s prior year financial statements to the March 31, 2024 presentation. These reclassifications did not change previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which includes a description of significant accounting policies. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no holdings of securities of any issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

The Company determines credit losses on both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities by a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s effective interest rate at the time of purchase or upon acquisition. The allowance for credit losses is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss. Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are representative of current expected credit losses that management expects to be incurred over the life of the investment. The allowance for credit losses is established through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings.

The available-for-sale securities portfolio primarily contains securities that are guaranteed by a sovereign entity or are generally considered to have non-credit related risks, such as interest rate risk or prepayment and liquidity factors. The Company considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 987 and 995 individual investment securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, which was related primarily to fluctuations in current interest rates. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had the intent and ability to hold these investment securities for a period sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery. The Company does not intend to sell any of the available-for-sale securities in the above table, and the Company does not anticipate it will have to sell any securities before a recovery in cost.

Collateral-Dependent Financial Loans

A collateral-dependent financial loan relies substantially on the operation or sale of the collateral securing the loan for repayment. A loan may become collateral-dependent when foreclosure is probable or the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and its sources of repayment become inadequate over time. At such time, the Company develops an expectation that repayment will be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

The following tables present the principal balance of collateral-dependent loans by class of receivable as of the dates indicated:

The Company monitors the performance of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Of the loans that were modified during the twelve-months ended March 31, 2024, there were $19.1 million of loans classified as past due 30 days or more, with the remaining loans performing in accordance with the modified terms and are classified as current at March 31, 2024.

There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose terms have been modified during the three months ended March 31, 2024 through either principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, term extension, or other than insignificant payment delay.

There were $2.8 million payment defaults on these loans subsequent to their modifications during the twelve-months ended March 31, 2024. The Company considers a payment default to occur when the loan is 90 days or more past due or the loan is placed on non-accrual status after the modification. The Company monitors the performance of modified loans on an ongoing basis. In the event of subsequent default, the allowance for credit losses continues to be reassessed based on an individual evaluation of each loan. The modifications made during the periods presented did not significantly impact the Company’s determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going and continuous monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks internally assigned risk classifications of loans based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. The factors considered by the Company include, among other factors, the borrower’s current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the credit risk of the loans. This analysis generally includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $1.0 million, which are generally considered non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed no less than on an annual basis, depending upon the size of exposure and the contractual obligations governing the borrower’s financial reporting frequency. Homogeneous loans, including small business loans, are typically monitored by payment performance. The Company internally risk rates its loans in accordance with a Uniform Classification System developed jointly by the various bank regulatory agencies. The Uniform Classification System defines three broad categories of criticized assets, which the Company uses as credit quality indicators in addition to the 6 Pass ratings in its 10-point rating scale:

Special Mention — includes loans that exhibit a potential weakness in financial condition, loan structure, or documentation that warrants management’s close attention. If not promptly corrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard — includes loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower which have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Although the primary source of repayment for a substandard loan may not currently be sufficient, collateral or other sources of repayment are sufficient to satisfy the debt. Continuance of a substandard loan is not warranted unless positive steps are taken to improve the worthiness of the credit.

Doubtful — includes loans that exhibit pronounced weaknesses based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values to a point where collection or liquidation for full repayment is highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans are required to be placed on non-accrual status and are assigned specific loss exposure.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered pass-rated loans.

(6) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through the management of its business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts to manage or hedge exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and interest rate exposures. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company sells residential mortgage loans on either a best efforts or mandatory delivery basis. The Company mitigates the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing interest rate lock commitments by entering into forward loan sales contracts. The forward loan sales contracts are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through earnings and are not designated as accounting hedges. Exclusive of the fair value component associated with the projected cash flows from the loan delivery to the investor, the changes in fair value related to movements in market rates of the interest rate lock commitments and the forward loan sales contracts generally move in opposite directions, and the net impact of changes in these valuations on net income during the loan commitment period is generally inconsequential. When the loan is funded to the borrower, the interest rate lock commitment derivative expires, and the Company records a loan held for sale. The forward loan sales contract acts as a hedge against the variability in cash to be received from the loan sale. The changes in measurement of the estimated fair values of the interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales contracts are included in mortgage banking revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The Company also enters into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a client while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the client, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income (expense) and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.

As part of the Company’s overall asset and liability management strategy, in August 2022 the Company entered into two interest rate collars related to variable-rate loans that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $300.0 million. Each of the collars designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fixes the interest income received by the Company when the collar index falls below a floor rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar and when the collar index exceeds the cap rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

In October 2022, the Company entered into four swaps, two of which were related to variable-rate loans and two that were related to variable-rate securities that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $850.0 million. Each of these swaps designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fixes the interest income received by the Company without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Of the six trades with a total notional amount of $1.15 billion, five are effective with a total notional of $900.0 million. Of these trades, two collars and one swap are related to variable-rate loans, two swaps are related to variable-rate securities, and the sixth trade related to variable-rate loans has an effective date in the second quarter of 2024.

For derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income (expense) in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified as interest income (expense) when interest payments are made on the Company’s hedged items. During the next twelve months, based on implied forward curves, the Company estimates that $13.2 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the $200.0 million, three-year forward starting, four-year pay fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $8.5 million gain that will be accreted into income through July 2028. The Company accreted $0.4 million of the gain into interest income during the period ended March 31, 2024.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

The following amounts were recorded on the consolidated balance sheets related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges for the periods indicated:


	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment		Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment
Available-for-sale securities	$	193.6	$	6.4	$	193.3	$	6.7

Non-designated Hedge Derivatives

Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

Risk Participation Agreements

The Company acquired, from Great Western Bank, risk participation agreements under which it assumes credit risk associated with a borrower’s performance related to derivative contracts. The Company only entered into these credit risk participation agreements in instances in which the Company was also a party to the related loan participation agreements for such borrowers. The Company manages its credit risk under risk participation agreements by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrower, based on its normal credit review process.

The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative instruments on a gross and net basis for the periods indicated. The derivative asset and liability balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the variation margin payments with central clearing organizations have been applied as settlement, as applicable. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted to account for the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to settle all derivative contracts with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net derivative position with the related cash collateral. Securities collateral related to legally enforceable master netting agreements is not offset on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well / adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Bank would be required to settle its obligations. Similarly, the Bank could be required to settle its obligations under certain of its agreements if specific regulatory events occur, such as a publicly issued prompt corrective action directive, cease and desist order, or a capital maintenance agreement that required the Bank to maintain a specific capital level. If the Bank had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was $1.1 million related to these agreements. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has $0.2 million posted excess collateral. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2024, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

(8) Capital Stock

On May 24, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposed change of the Company’s state of incorporation from Montana to Delaware. As a result, each outstanding share of the then Company’s Class A common stock became an outstanding share of common stock of the Company and each outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of the Company’s previously designated Class A common stock became an outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of common stock of the Company.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 150,100,000 shares of capital stock, of which, 150,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, and 100,000 are designated as preferred stock. Our common stock is uncertificated and has one vote per share.

The Company had 104,571,623 shares and 103,941,626 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company does not have a stock repurchase program in place. Stock repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, were redemptions of vested restricted shares tendered in lieu of cash for payment of income tax withholding amounts by participants in the Company’s equity compensation plans.

(9) Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares determined for the basic earnings per share computation plus the dilutive effects of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net income	$	58.4	$	56.3
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share computation	102,844,397		103,737,664
Dilutive effects of stock-based compensation	195,637		81,055
Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share computation	103,040,034		103,818,719

Basic earnings per common share	$	0.57	$	0.54
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.57	$	0.54

Anti-dilutive unvested time restricted stock	49,574		132,410

The Company had 801,061 and 330,408 shares of unvested restricted stock as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because performance conditions for vesting had not been met.

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

In connection with the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the Company recognized an after-tax cumulative effect on retained earnings with a reduction totaling $24.1 million. In March 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC issued an interim final rule that allows banking organizations to mitigate the effects of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”) on their regulatory capital computations. This interim rule is in addition to the three-year transition period already in place under the capital transition rule previously issued in February 2019. Banking organizations can elect to mitigate the estimated cumulative effects on regulatory capital for an additional two years. This rule allows an institution to defer incorporating the impact of ASC 326 into its regulatory capital calculation, including ratios, over an extended period. Additionally, the interim rule extends the transition period whereby an institution can defer the impact from ASC 326 on the current period, determined based on the difference between the new ASC 326 allowance for credit losses and the allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss method from previous GAAP, for up to two years. The total impact related to ASC 326 would then be transitioned into regulatory capital and the associated ratios over a three-year transition period, beginning after the initial two-year deferral period, for a total transition period of five years. The Company elected to opt into the transition election and adopted transition relief over the permissible five-year period.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various claims and litigation. The Company establishes accruals for legal matters when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the amounts that the Company has accrued. Accruals for legal matters are based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel and others. In the opinion of management, following consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability or disposition of all such claims and litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had commitments under construction contracts of $4.2 million.

Residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary market are sold with varying recourse provisions. Essentially all the loan sales agreements require the repurchase of a mortgage loan by the seller in situations such as breach of representation, warranty, or covenant; untimely document delivery; false or misleading statements; failure to obtain certain certificates or insurance; or unmarketability. Certain loan sales agreements contain repurchase requirements based on payment-related defects that are defined in terms of the number of days or months since the purchase, the sequence number of the payment, and/or the number of days of payment delinquency. Based on the specific terms stated in the agreements, the Company had $0.8 million of sold residential mortgage loans with recourse provisions still in effect as of March 31, 2024.

(12) Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and determining the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as in the Company’s policies for making commitments to extend credit. The estimated fair value of the obligation undertaken by the Company in issuing standby letters of credit is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(14) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The three levels of inputs to measure fair value are as follows:

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

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

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

The methodologies used by the Company in determining the fair values of each class of financial instruments are based primarily on independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. Transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 are recognized on the actual transfer date. There were no significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Further details on the methods used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments above are discussed below:

Investment Debt Securities Available-for-Sale. The Company obtains fair value measurements for investment securities from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the investment’s terms and conditions, among others. Vendors chosen by the Company are widely recognized vendors whose evaluations support the pricing functions of financial institutions, investment and mutual funds, and portfolio managers. If needed, a broker may be utilized to determine the reported fair value of investment securities.

Loans Held for Sale. Fair value measurements for residential mortgage loans held for sale are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include binding contracts or quotes or bids from third party investors as well as loan level pricing adjustments. Commercial and agricultural loans held for sale are derived from quotes or bids from third party investors.

Interest Rate Collars: The fair values of interest rate collars are obtained from an independent third party. The values are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors (caps). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the collars are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The change in the value of derivative assets attributable to basis risk, or the risk that offsetting investments in a hedging strategy will not experience price changes in entirely opposite directions, was not significant in the reported periods. The Company also compares the reasonableness of the pricing semi-annually through a validation process involving additional independent third parties.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. Fair values for derivative interest rate swap contracts are obtained from an independent third party. The values are based upon the estimated amounts to settle the contracts considering current interest rates and are calculated using discounted cash flows that are observable, or that can be corroborated by observable market data. The inputs used to determine fair value include the United States Dollar – Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) forward curve to estimate variable rate cash inflows and the SOFR to estimate the discount rate. The estimated variable rate cash inflows are compared to the fixed rate outflows and such difference is discounted to a present value to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The change in the value of derivative assets attributable to basis risk, or the risk that offsetting investments in a hedging strategy will not experience price changes in entirely opposite directions, was not significant in the reported periods. The Company also compares the reasonableness of the pricing semi-annually through a validation process involving additional independent third parties.

For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, we evaluate both our credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties. Accordingly, we have considered factors such as the likelihood of our default and the default of our counterparties, our net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. The change in value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. Fair value measurements for interest rate lock commitments are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include prices available from secondary market investors taking into consideration various characteristics of the loan, including the loan amount, interest rate, value of the servicing, and loan to value ratio, among other things. Observable data is then adjusted to reflect changes in interest rates, the Company’s estimated pull-through rate, and estimated direct costs necessary to complete the commitment into a closed loan net of origination, and processing fees collected from the borrower.

Forward Loan Sales Contracts. The fair value measurements for forward loan sales contracts are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that includes sales of similar loans.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities. The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These investments are in the same funds and purchased in the same amounts as the participants’ selected investments, which represent the underlying liabilities to plan participants. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Additionally, from time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to credit deterioration. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Collateral-dependent Loans. Collateral-dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. The collateral-dependent loans are reported at fair value through specific valuation allowance allocations. In addition, when it is determined that the fair value of a collateral-dependent loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the carrying value of the loan is adjusted to fair value through a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Collateral values are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had collateral-dependent loans with a carrying and fair value of $116.4 million and $52.6 million, respectively.

Loans Held for Sale. Fair value measurements for non-residential mortgage loans held for sale are derived from valuations, appraisals, and quotes or bids from third party investors. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include binding contracts or quotes or bids from third party investors as well as loan level pricing adjustments.

OREO. The fair values of OREO are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. Upon initial recognition, write-downs based on the foreclosed asset’s fair value at foreclosure are reported through charges to the allowance for credit losses. Periodically, the fair value of foreclosed assets is remeasured with any subsequent write-downs charged to OREO expense in the period in which they are identified. The Company had $2.1 million and $0.1 million of write downs on OREO properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of by Sale. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair values of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are based upon observable market data and management estimates of current market conditions. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying and fair values aggregating $1.0 million.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair values:


	Fair Value As of
	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range (Weighted Average)
Collateral-dependent loans	$	116.4	$	52.6	Appraisal	Appraisal adjustment	0%	-	100%	(30%)
Loans held for sale	19.5		46.9		Fair value of collateral	Discount for type of property, age of appraisal, and current status	0	-	27	(24)
Other real estate owned	14.4		16.5		Appraisal	Appraisal adjustment	17	-	47	(41)
Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale	1.0		1.0		Appraisal	Appraisal adjustment	0	-	0	0

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of other financial instruments are discussed below. For financial instruments bearing a variable interest rate where no credit risk exists, it is presumed that recorded book values are reasonable estimates of fair value.

Financial Assets. Carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, and accrued interest receivable approximate fair values due to the liquid and/or short-term nature of these instruments. Fair values for investment securities held-to-maturity are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the investment’s terms and conditions, among other things. Fair values of fixed rate loans and variable rate loans that reprice on an infrequent basis are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality using an exit price notion. Carrying values of variable rate loans that reprice frequently, and with no change in credit risk, approximate the fair values of these instruments.

Financial Liabilities. The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest payable are the amounts that are payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using external market rates that are currently offered for deposits that have similar remaining maturities. The fair values of derivative liabilities are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include the United States Dollar – SOFR forward curve, the federal funds effective swap rate and cash flows, among other things. The fixed and floating rate subordinated debentures, floating rate subordinated term loan, other borrowed funds, fixed rate subordinated term debt, and capital lease obligation are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates for advances that have similar characteristics.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, is not significant.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments that are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and are segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy that are utilized to measure fair value, are as follows:

(15) Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance

ASU 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method” In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method that permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Previously, this method was only available for qualifying tax equity investments in low-income housing tax credit structures. The amendments also require that a reporting entity disclose certain information in annual and interim reporting periods that enable investors to understand certain information about its investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Amendments in this ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The Company elected the modified retrospective approach for qualifying New Market Tax Credits and adjusted beginning retained earnings by an increase of $1.2 million related to the previously recorded deferred taxes. Prospectively, both the amortization of the investment in Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the New Market Tax Credits will be recorded net within income tax expense.

ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60), Recognition and Initial Measurement” In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60), Recognition and Initial Measurement that requires certain joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting upon formation by recognizing and initially measuring most of their assets and liabilities at fair value. The objectives of the amendments are to provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital in a joint venture's financial statements and also to reduce diversity in practice. These amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative that amends the ASC to incorporate certain disclosure requirements from SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification that was issued in 2018. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to improve disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments; however, it does require that an entity that has single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. A public entity should apply the amendments in this update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We currently have one reportable operating segment, Community Banking. This ASU will not impact our consolidated financial statements and will have minimal impact to our disclosures, requiring identification of the chief operating decision maker and the information used to make operating decisions and to allocate resources.

ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures that require public business entities to annually disclose (1) specific categories in their rate reconciliation; (2) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold; (3) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes; (4) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which the income taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold; (5) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and (6) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months and to disclose the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized because of the exceptions to comprehensive recognition of deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

(16) Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the Company’s financial statements were filed with the SEC. On April 23, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly dividend to common shareholders of $0.47 per share, to be paid on May 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When we refer to “we,” “our,” “us,” “First Interstate,” or the “Company” in this report, we mean First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, including our wholly-owned subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, unless the context indicates that we refer only to the parent company, First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. When we refer to the “Bank” or “FIB” in this report, we mean only First Interstate Bank.

The following discussion of our consolidated financial data reflects our historical results of operations and financial condition and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including the audited financial statements and related notes contained therein, as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that Could Affect Future Results

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder, that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Any statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, strategies, beliefs, or future performance or events constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are identified by words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “trends,” “objectives,” “views,” “continues” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “may,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, estimates and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any results, performance or events expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations in the forward-looking statements is included below in this report under the caption “Risk Factors” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the captions “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”. These factors and the other risk factors described in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC from time to time, however, are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Interested parties are urged to read in their entirety the referenced risk factors prior to making any investment decision with respect to the Company. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, this document contains GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding our results of operations or financial position. The Company’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance.

Fully-Taxable Equivalent Basis. The Company adjusts its net interest income to include its FTE interest income and exclude purchase accounting interest accretion on acquired loans. Interest income, yields, and ratios on an FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Net interest margin (FTE) is calculated as annualized net interest income on a FTE basis divided by adjusted average earning assets. Management believes net interest income on an FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent. These measures are considered standard measures of comparison within the banking industry. We encourage readers to consider the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information contained in this Form 10-Q in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures included herein for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s GAAP results.

Executive Overview

We are a financial and bank holding company focused on community banking. Since our incorporation in Montana in 1971, we have grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions. We operate 304 banking offices, including branches and detached drive-up facilities, in communities across fourteen states—Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. Through our bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, we deliver a comprehensive range of banking products and services—including online and mobile banking—to individuals, businesses, government entities, and others throughout our market areas. We are proud to provide lending opportunities to clients that participate in a wide variety of industries, including:

•Agriculture

•Healthcare

•Professional services

•Technology

•Construction

•Hospitality

•Real Estate Development

•Tourism

•Education

•Housing

•Retail

•Wholesale trade

•Governmental services

Our principal business activity is lending to, accepting deposits from, and conducting financial transactions with and for individuals, businesses, governmental units, and other entities located in the communities we serve. We derive our income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on fixed income investments.

We also derive income from non-interest sources such as: (i) fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; (ii) wealth management services, such as trust, employee benefit, investment, and insurance services; (iii) mortgage loan originations, sales, and servicing; (iv) merchant and electronic banking services; and (v) from time-to-time, gains on sales of assets and securities.

Our principal expenses include: (i) interest expense on deposit accounts and other borrowings; (ii) salaries and employee benefits; (iii) data processing and communication costs primarily associated with maintaining loan and deposit functions; (iv) furniture, equipment, and occupancy expenses for maintaining our facilities; (v) professional fees, including FDIC insurance assessments; (vi) income tax expense; (vii) provisions for credit losses; (viii) intangible amortization; (ix) other real estate owned expenses; and (x) other ancillary expenses including legal expenses, credit card rewards expense, fees associated with originating and closing loans, insurance, and other expenses necessary to support our employees and service our clients. From time to time, we also incur acquisition costs related to our strategic acquisitions.

Recent Trends and Developments

Our community banking footprint spans across the Rocky Mountain, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and Southwest regions, in large part due to our acquisition activity. As part of our normal course of business, we continue to evaluate bank acquisitions and other strategic opportunities on an on-going basis.

The Company has ample liquidity and the capital ratios exceed all regulatory requirements to be deemed “well-capitalized” as of March 31, 2024. Our deposit base is diversified, including by depositor, which includes individuals, businesses across multiple industries, governmental units, and other entities, as well as geographically, across the communities we serve. As of March 31, 2024, our FDIC insured deposits consisted of 66.0% of total deposits, including accounts eligible for pass-through insurance.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) offered a new Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) for eligible depository institutions. The BTFP offered loans of up to one-year to institutions pledging collateral eligible for purchase by the FRB in open market operations such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agency securities, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. These assets will be valued at par for pledging purposes. In January 2024, the Company accessed borrowings through the BTFP totaling $1.0 billion which the Company used to pay down FHLB advances. Additionally, the Company extended $1.0 billion of existing FHLB advances to terms of 12 to 18 months. Together, this repositioning of our borrowings allowed the Company to reduce its overall borrowing costs.

As of April 30, 2024, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $4.0 billion with the FHLB and $1.2 billion with the FRB based on pledged investment securities and loan collateral.

U.S. inflation data hit a multi-decade high in June 2022, climbing to 9.1%, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, decreasing to 3.0% in June 2023, with a modest increase to 3.5% in March 2024. While our operating expenses are affected by general inflation, the asset and liability structure of the Company largely consists of monetary items. Monetary items, such as cash, investments, loans, deposits and other borrowings, are assets and liabilities which are or will be converted into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does general inflation. However, inflation may have negative impacts on the Company’s clients and their customers, impacting their ability or willingness to repay loans or maintain deposits.

The Federal Reserve stated its current objective is to return the rate of inflation to 2% and it has been aggressively acting to achieve this goal. In response to sustained inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates 525 basis points between March 16, 2022 and July 26, 2023. With general inflationary pressures easing, the Federal Reserve has paused activity with the short-term interest rates since July 2023 and has not yet provided definitive guidance on any further increases or decreases of short-term interest rates.

The Company’s quarterly yield on interest earning assets increased to 4.74% as of March 31, 2024 from 4.69% as of December 31, 2023, and 4.43% as of March 31, 2023.

Increases in short-term interest rates have also impacted the Company’s cost of funds, primarily as a result of the shift of non-interest-bearing deposits into higher-cost interest-bearing and time deposit balances and variable rate debt. The Company’s cost of funds increased to 1.87% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 1.72% during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 1.10% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Overall, the change in the mix and cost of funds has offset the changes in the mix and yield on earning assets, resulting in compression of the Company’s net interest margin to 2.91% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 2.99% during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 3.33% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s FTE net interest margin decreased to 2.93% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 3.01% during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and 3.36% during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

While gross domestic product has expanded at or above 2.0% from the second quarter of 2022 through the fourth quarter of 2023, it is unclear whether the volatility of 2020 through 2022 in the economic performance of the U.S. economy will re-emerge leading to an economic slowdown, downturn, or recession or whether its regular pattern of growth will continue. Any economic slowdown, downturn, or recession could impact the Company and one of its primary lending sources, by impacting the level of deposits held by our clients, whether through a higher volume of withdrawals or through a lower volume of deposits. The credit quality of the Company’s loans may also be impacted if clients must weather adverse economic conditions which could result in an increase in credit losses or other related expenses.

Primary Factors Used in Evaluating Our Business

As a banking institution, we manage and evaluate our financial condition and our results of operations. We monitor and evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our balance sheet and statements of income, as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against both our own historical levels as well as the financial condition and performance of comparable banking institutions in our region and nationally.

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our financial performance is impacted by a number of external factors outside our control, as well as our ability to execute on the key components of our strategy for continued success and future growth. See Part II – Other Information, “Item 1A – Risk Factors” for an update of the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant accounting policies we follow are summarized in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as referenced in Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements in this quarterly report. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates and policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, during the quarterly period covered by this quarterly report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to measure the Company’s financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating expenses. Management considers changes in interest rates to impact our financial condition and results of operations to a far greater degree than changes in prices due to inflation. We manage our interest rate risk in several ways. Refer to “Note – Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion on how we manage interest rate risk. There can be no assurance that we will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates, as interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide detail about the results of our operations and financial condition.

Net Income

Net income increased $2.1 million to $58.4 million, or $0.57 per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to net income of $56.3 million, or $0.54 per share, for the same period in 2023. The increase during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in non-interest income as a result of a $23.4 million loss on the disposition of available-for-sale investment securities during the 2023 period. This increase was partially offset by lower net interest income as a result of higher interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds.

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest the Company earns on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the expense the Company pays on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends on both the volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates the Company earns or pays on them.

Changes in interest rate spread, which is the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, has the most significant impact on net interest income. Other factors like volume of loans, investment securities, and other interest-earning assets compared to the volume of interest-bearing deposits and indebtedness also cause changes in our net interest income between periods. Non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, help to support earning assets.

Table of Contents

Net interest income decreased $38.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest expense resulting from higher costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income included interest accretion related to the fair valuation of acquired loans of $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to interest accretion of $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our net interest margin ratio decreased 42 basis points to 2.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 3.33% for the same period in 2023 and our net FTE interest margin ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased 43 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. Exclusive of the impact of interest accretion on acquired loans, the net FTE interest margin ratio, decreased 45 basis points to 2.84% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 3.29% for the same period in 2023. The decreases in net interest margin ratio were primarily a result of higher interest bearing deposit and borrowing costs and a less favorable funding mix, which were partially offset by loan yield expansion and modestly favorable change in the mix of earning assets.

The table below sets forth a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from estimated changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and estimated changes in average interest rates (referred to as “rate”) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Changes which are not due solely to volume or rate have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percent changes in average volume and average rate as they compare to each other.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company had a $5.3 million provision for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $15.2 million during same period in 2023. The provision incorporated the impact of net charge-offs of $8.4 million, or an annualized 0.18% of average loans outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $6.2 million, or an annualized 0.14%, during the same period in 2023. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2024 were composed of charge-offs of $11.0 million and recoveries of $2.6 million.

For information regarding our non-performing loans, see “Financial Condition – Non-Performing Assets” included herein. For more information on our allowance for credit losses, see “Financial Condition – Allowance for Credit Losses” included herein.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income also contributes to our operating results with fee-based revenues such as payment services, mortgage banking and wealth management revenues, service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges, commissions and fees being our principal source of non-interest income. The following table presents the composition of our non-interest income as of the periods indicated:


Non-Interest Income	Three Months Ended March 31,				$ Change		% Change
(Dollars in millions)	2024		2023
Payment services revenues	$	18.4	$	18.7	$	(0.3)	(1.6)	%

Investment securities losses, net	—		(23.4)		23.4		(100.0)
Other income	4.6		2.2		2.4		109.1

Total non-interest income	$	42.1	$	16.4	$	25.7	156.7

Total non-interest income increased $25.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily the result of the realized loss of $23.4 million on the disposition of available-for-sale investment securities and a $1.9 million loss related to the fair value of loans held for sale recognized through other income during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense decreased $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 driven by a lower employee benefits and other expenses which were partially offset by increases in professional fees, OREO expenses, and FDIC insurance premiums.

Other expenses	24.9		29.9		(5.0)		(16.7)


Total non-interest expense	$	160.2	$	165.8	$	(5.6)	(3.4)

Employee benefits expense decreased $3.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower health insurance costs of $2.1 million and lower payroll taxes of $1.8 million, partially offset by higher long-term incentive accruals of $0.6 million.

Outsourced technology services expense decreased $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a decrease in software maintenance costs.

Other real estate owned expenses increased $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to valuation write-downs of two other real estate owned properties.

Professional fees increased $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in audit fees related to certain control deficiencies and higher fees related to a change in audit firm, along with consulting services related to process improvements.

FDIC insurance premiums increased $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily resulting from a $1.5 million special assessment accrual recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Other expenses primarily include advertising and public relations costs; office supply, postage, freight, telephone, and travel expenses; donations expense; debit and credit card expenses; board of director fees; legal expenses; and other losses. Other expenses decreased $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily resulting from decreases in fraud losses, travel costs, and heightened awareness of our cost saving initiatives.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Total Assets

Total assets decreased $526.4 million, or 1.7%, to $30,144.8 million as of March 31, 2024, from $30,671.2 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in investment securities and loans. Significant fluctuations in balance sheet accounts are discussed below. More information regarding the results as of December 31, 2023 can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Investment Securities

We manage our investment portfolio primarily as a source of liquidity. In doing so, we seek to obtain the highest risk adjusted return within our risk tolerance and liquidity guidelines, while satisfying the pledging requirements for deposits of state and political subdivisions and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Our portfolio principally comprises U.S. treasuries, U.S. government agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government agency, collateralized loan obligations, corporate securities, and tax-exempt securities. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in the Bank are additional investments that are classified as cash equivalents rather than as investment securities. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value, while investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost. Unrealized gains or losses, net of the deferred tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are reported as increases or decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders’ equity.

Investment securities decreased $423.3 million, or 4.7%, to $8,626.1 million, or 28.6% of total assets, as of March 31, 2024, from $9,049.4 million, or 29.5% of total assets, as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily resulting from normal pay-downs and maturities and $26.4 million decline in fair market values, partially offset by $77.2 million of reinvestment into investment securities.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated duration of our investment portfolio was 3.6 years.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $7,024.8 million and $8,284.5 million, respectively, of investment securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities and an allowance for credit losses on held-to maturity securities classified as corporate and municipal securities of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and OREO.

Non-Performing Loans. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

Non-accrual loans. We generally place loans on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless they are well secured and in the process of collection or if the collection of principal and interest is in doubt. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed from income. Non-accrual loans increased approximately $65.6 million, or 61.7%, to $172.0 million, as of March 31, 2024, from $106.4 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily driven by a loan downgrade related to a single $54.4 million commercial and industrial loan relationship. As of March 31, 2024 there were approximately $52.8 million of non-accrual loans for which there was no related allowance for credit losses, as these loans had sufficient collateral securing the loan for repayment.

Loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Loans past due 90 days or more accruing interest were $3.0 million as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 38.8%, from $4.9 million as of December 31, 2023.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”). OREO consists of real property acquired through foreclosure on the collateral underlying defaulted loans. We initially record OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of loan carrying value over the fair value of the real estate at the time it is acquired, is recorded as a charge against the allowance for credit losses. Estimated losses that result from the ongoing periodic valuation of these properties are charged to earnings in the period in which they are identified. OREO decreased $2.1 million, or 12.7%, to $14.4 million as of March 31, 2024, from $16.5 million as of December 31, 2023 resulting from valuation write-downs of two specific OREO properties.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the appropriateness of its allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses based on our evaluation of quantitative and qualitative risk factors in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the expected loss can be identified and reasonably determined over the life of the loans. The balance of the allowance for credit losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature or tenure of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current environmental and economic factors, and the estimated impact of forecasted economic conditions on historical loan loss rates.

The allowance for credit losses is increased by provisions charged against earnings and net recoveries of charged-off loans and is reduced by negative provisions credited to earnings and net loan charge-offs. The allowance for credit losses consists of three elements:

(1)Specific valuation allowances associated with collateral-dependent and other individually evaluated loans. Specific valuation allowances are determined based on assessment of the fair value of the collateral underlying the loans as determined through independent appraisals, the present value of future cash flows, observable market prices, and any relevant qualitative or environmental factors impacting loans.

(2)Collective valuation allowances based on loan loss experience and future expectations for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends. The Company applies open pool methodologies for all portfolio segments. The open pool methodology averages quarterly loss rates by modeling segment, calculated as quarter-to-date net charge off balance divided by the end of period balance. Loss rates are recalculated quarterly with recoveries captured in the quarter a loan was charged off, are averaged across a look back period from 2009 to the current period, and are annualized. Macroeconomic-conditioned historical loss rates are applied to loan-level cash flows. Expected future principal and interest cash flows are calculated using contractual repayment terms and prepayment, utilization, interest rate, and probability of default assumptions. Macroeconomic sensitivity models calculate segment-specific multipliers using third party forecast data. The multipliers condition the annual loss rates over the 2-year forecast period, followed by a 1-year straight-line reversion to the unadjusted historical average loss rates. The unadjusted loss rates then apply for the remaining life of the loan. Estimated losses are totaled and aggregated to the segment level.

(3)General valuation allowances determined based on asset quality trends, industry concentrations, environmental risks, changes in portfolio composition, and other qualitative risk factors, both internal and external to the Company. Other qualitative factors, including changes in loan and lending policies, collateral quality, underwriting standards and personnel, credit review quality, and model imprecision, are also considered.

Based on the assessment of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses, the Company records provisions for credit losses to maintain the allowance for credit losses at appropriate levels.

Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value as adjusted for credit risk and an allowance for credit losses at the date of acquisition. For loans with no significant evidence of credit deterioration since origination, the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of the loan at the acquisition date is amortized into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity. An allowance for credit loss is recorded for the expected credit losses over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment.

For loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, the Company determines the fair value of the loans by estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. An allowance for credit losses is recognized by estimating the expected credit losses of the purchased asset and recording an adjustment to the acquisition date fair value to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the asset. Differences between the established amortized cost basis, and the unpaid principal balance of the asset, is considered to be a non-credit discount/premium and is accreted/amortized into interest income using the level yield interest method. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment.

Table of Contents

Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the collectability of the principal is unlikely, or, with respect to consumer installment loans, according to an established delinquency schedule. Generally, loans are charged-off when (1) there has been no material principal reduction within the previous 90 days and there is no pending sale of collateral or other assets, (2) there is no significant or pending event which will result in principal reduction within the upcoming 90 days, (3) it is clear that we will not be able to collect all or a portion of the loan, (4) payments on the loan are sporadic, will result in an excessive amortization, or are not consistent with the collateral held, or (5) foreclosure or repossession actions are pending. Loan charge-offs do not directly correspond with the receipt of independent appraisals or the use of observable market data if the collateral value is determined to be sufficient to repay the principal balance of the loan.

If a collateral-dependent loan is adequately collateralized, a specific valuation allowance for credit losses is not recorded. As such, significant changes in collateral-dependent and non-performing loans do not necessarily correspond proportionally with changes in the specific valuation component of the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, the Company expects the timing of charge-offs will vary between quarters and will not necessarily correspond proportionally to changes in the allowance for credit losses or changes in non-performing or collateral-dependent loans due to timing differences among the initial identification of a collateral-dependent loan, recording of a specific valuation allowance for collateral-dependent loans, and any resulting charge-off of uncollectible principal.

Our allowance for credit losses was $227.7 million, or 1.25% of loans held for investment as of March 31, 2024 compared to $227.7 million, or 1.25% of loans held for investment, as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses was $15.4 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $18.4 million as of December 31, 2023, due to a decline in off-balance sheet commitments.

Although we have established our allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP in the United States and we believe that the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to provide for known and expected losses in the portfolio at all times, future provisions will be subject to on-going evaluations of the risks in the loan portfolio. If the economy declines or asset quality deteriorates, material additional provisions could be required.

Total Liabilities

Total liabilities decreased $508.6 million, or 1.9%, to $26,935.1 million as of March 31, 2024, from $27,443.7 million as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in deposits and other borrowed funds, partially offset by an increase in long-term debt. Significant fluctuations in liability accounts are discussed below.

Deposits

Our deposits consist of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing demand, savings, individual retirement, and time deposit accounts. Total deposits decreased $513.1 million, or 2.2%, to $22,810.0 million as of March 31, 2024, from $23,323.1 million as of December 31, 2023, with decreases in all categories except for savings deposits and time deposits ($250 and over). Included in the decline was $185.0 million of high-cost, government entity deposits the Company allowed to leave the balance sheet.

(1)Included in “Time, other” are IntraFi Network Deposits, or Intrafi, deposits of $24.7 million and $26.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Deposit Insurance

The deposits of the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC, generally up to $250,000 per insured depositor. The Bank pays deposit insurance premiums based on assessment rates established by the FDIC. The estimated amount of deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit at March 31, 2024 was $7.9 billion, or 34.6% of total deposits. Estimates of uninsured deposits are based on the methodologies and assumptions used in the Bank’s call reports and do not necessarily reflect an evaluation of all scenarios that potentially would determine the availability of deposit insurance to customer accounts based on FDIC regulations.

Other Borrowed Funds

Other borrowed funds is comprised of FHLB and BTFP variable-rate, overnight, and fixed-rate borrowings with contractual tenors of up to one year. Other borrowed funds decreased $261.0 million, or 10.0%, to $2,342.0 million as of March 31, 2024 from $2,603.0 million as of December 31, 2023, as a result of adjusting the funding mix between other borrowed funds and long-term debt.

Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt increased $250.0 million, or 207.0%, to $370.8 million as of March 31, 2024 from $120.8 million as of December 31, 2023, as a result of 18-month FHLB borrowings during the first quarter of 2024.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources. Stockholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, sales and redemptions of common stock, and changes in the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities. Stockholders’ equity decreased $17.8 million, or 0.6%, to $3,209.7 million as of March 31, 2024, from $3,227.5 million as of December 31, 2023, due to an increase to the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities through other comprehensive income, by stock repurchases of vested restricted shares tendered in lieu of cash for payment of income tax withholding amounts by participants, and by cash dividends paid, the majority of which was offset by the retention of earnings.

On April 23, 2024, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.47 per common share, payable on May 16, 2024, to common stockholders of record as of May 6, 2024. The dividend equates to a 6.9% annual yield based on the $27.30 average closing pricing of the Company’s common stock during the first quarter of 2024.

Table of Contents

As a bank holding company, the Company must comply with the capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve, and our subsidiary Bank must comply with the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The current risk-based guidelines applicable to us and our Bank are based on the Basel III framework, as implemented by the federal bank regulators. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had capital levels that, in all cases, exceeded the guidelines to be deemed “well-capitalized.” For additional information regarding our capital levels, see “Note – Regulatory Capital” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Liquidity. Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of clients, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return-on-investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities, and maturing or prepaying balances in our held-to-maturity investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market funds through non-core deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, additional borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window, and the issuance of preferred or common securities. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures, and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, the issuance of securities, borrowings and other debt financing, and increases in client deposits.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $87.6 million, net cash provided by investing activities was $531.9 million and net cash used in financing activities was $562.5 million. Major uses of cash were $513.1 million in outflows of deposits and $261.0 million in repayment of other borrowed funds. Major sources of cash included $250.0 million of advances in long-term debt and $474.0 million in repayment of loans at maturity, exercise of call options, principal pay downs, and sales of investment securities. Total cash and cash equivalents were $635.0 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $578.0 million as of December 31, 2023. For additional information regarding our operating, investing, and financing cash flows, see the unaudited “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part I – Financial Information, “Item 1 – Financial Statements.” For additional information regarding our deposits, see “Financial Condition – Deposits,” included in Part I – Financial Information, “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

As a holding company, we are a corporation separate and apart from our subsidiary Bank and, therefore, we provide for our own liquidity. Our primary sources of funding include management fees and dividends declared and paid by the Bank and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory, and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations.

The Company continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. We are not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, we are not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us. The Bank satisfies incremental liquidity needs with either liquid assets or external funding sources. Available liquidity includes cash, FHLB advances and FRB borrowings through the discount window. The Bank has pledged its investment securities portfolio to access wholesale funding as needed and does not intend to sell or restructure securities at this time.

Through the Bank’s relationship with the FHLB, the Bank owns $82.2 million of FHLB stock and has access to additional liquidity and funding sources through FHLB advances. The Bank’s borrowing capacity is dependent upon the amount of collateral the Bank places at the FHLB. As of March 31, 2024, the Bank had FHLB borrowings of $1,342.0 million with original tenors of one-year or less and $250.0 million with original tenors of greater than one-year. The Bank’s remaining borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $4,416.7 million as of March 31, 2024.

The Bank had a $1.0 billion advance through the BTFP as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Bank’s borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Discount Window was $1.3 billion.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

This analysis should be read in conjunction with text under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 10-K, which text is incorporated herein by reference. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding such forward-looking information.

Asset Liability Management

The goal of asset liability management is the prudent control of market risk, liquidity, and capital. Asset liability management is governed by policies, goals, and objectives adopted and reviewed by the Bank’s board of directors. Development of asset liability management strategies and monitoring of interest rate risk are the responsibility of the Asset Liability Committee, or ALCO, which is composed of members of senior management.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of loss of future earnings or long-term value due to changes in interest rates. Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is affected by the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates, the speed of changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, and the mix of interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

The ability to optimize net interest income is largely dependent upon the achievement of an interest rate spread that can be managed during periods of fluctuating interest rates. Interest sensitivity is a measure of the extent to which net interest income will be affected by market interest rates over a period.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity

We believe net interest income sensitivity provides the best perspective of how day-to-day decisions affect our interest rate risk profile. We monitor net interest income sensitivity by utilizing an income simulation model to subject 12- and 24- month net interest income to various rate movements. Simulations modeled quarterly include scenarios where market rates change instantaneously up or down in a parallel or non-parallel manner. Estimates produced by our income simulation model are based on numerous assumptions including, but not limited to: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) repricing characteristics for market rate sensitive instruments, (4) differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices, (5) varying loan prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (6) the effect of interest rate limitations in our assets, such as caps and floors, and (7) overall growth and repayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results, but rather to provide insight into our current interest rate exposure and execute appropriate asset/liability management strategies accordingly.

The following table presents the net interest income simulation model’s projected change in net interest income over a one-year horizon due to a change in interest rates. The net interest income simulation assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and a static balance sheet. The net interest income simulation also uses a “deposit beta” modeling assumption which is an estimate of the change in interest-bearing deposit pricing for a given change in market interest rates. In up-rate scenarios, the deposit beta assumption is 30% with the pricing change occurring in the first month of the net interest income simulation horizon. In down-rate scenarios, the deposit beta assumption is 50% with the pricing change occurring in the first month of the net interest income simulation horizon. Actual changes to deposit pricing may vary significantly from this assumption due to management actions, customer behavior, and market forces, which may have significant impacts to our net interest income. The net interest income simulations at March 31, 2024 project that interest-bearing liabilities reprice faster than our interest earning assets.

The preceding interest rate sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.

The Company uses financial derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. In August 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate collars related to variable-rate loans that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $300.0 million. The collars designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fix the interest income received by the Company when the collar index falls below a floor rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar and when the collar index exceeds the cap rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In October 2022, the Company entered into four forward starting receive-fixed hedges related to pools of variable-rate loans and securities that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $850.0 million. The swaps designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fix the interest income received by the Company when they become effective. As of March 31, 2024, $900.0 million of the cash flow hedges were effective with the remaining $250.0 million becoming effective in April 2024.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of March 31, 2024. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, based on the criteria and guidelines established in the Internal Control--Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such assessment, management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the un-remediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to the aggregated controls over the establishment of new deposit accounts, segregation of duties over the establishment of new loan accounts and the maintenance of loan and deposit accounts, and certain information technology general controls specific to logical access and change management, which was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), we completed procedures for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Based on these procedures, management believes that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information, please refer to Part II - Item 9A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Remediation

Management is in process of implementing measures designed to ensure that the aggregated control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The following remediation actions have been completed: (i) the inclusion of all relevant fields to financial reporting within the scope of the new deposit account quality assurance review, (ii) revision of the sampling procedures for the new deposit account quality assurance review to achieve additional precision and document the rationale for the scope of the sampling approach based on acceptable exception rates, (iii) removal of the ability of an employee to edit relevant ‘keyword’ fields in the workflow system, which was a vulnerability in the segregation of duties configuration, and (iv) review of the workflow system logs, which commenced during 2023, to identify any potential instances of unauthorized changes to keywords and investigate instances of segregation of duties violations, if any, related to deposit account maintenance and loan boarding and maintenance activity. We validated that no unauthorized changes or violations occurred. Additional remediation actions will include: (i) implementation of a quality assurance process to add another layer of control prior to the finalization of each period's user access review(s) and enhancement of written procedures for obtaining complete and accurate populations of user access reviews for each system with a manual population, (ii) modification of the timing of annual user access reviews, (iii) enhancement of segregation of duties in change management by migrating to an automated alternate cloud solution, (iv) identification of data transfers between systems specifically impacting the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which began in 2023, and (v) enhancement of logging and monitoring activities to demonstrate the effective execution of the data transfers control. We believe that as certain identified actions are implemented, we will be able to remediate the aggregation of control deficiencies that resulted in a material weaknesses. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated; however, until the identified controls operate for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

We expect that the remediation of the aggregated control deficiencies that resulted in a material weakness will be completed during 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the ongoing remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls and Procedures

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting may not be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
