Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Univest Financial Corporation (the Corporation) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the Bank), is engaged in domestic banking services for individuals, businesses, municipalities and non-profit organizations. The Bank is the parent company of Girard Investment Services, LLC, a registered introducing broker-dealer and a licensed insurance agency, Girard Advisory Services, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm and Girard Pension Services, LLC, a registered investment advisor, which provides investment consulting and management services to municipal entities. The Bank is also the parent company of Univest Insurance, LLC, an independent insurance agency and Univest Capital, Inc., an equipment financing business. The Bank's subsidiaries serve to enhance the traditional banking services provided by the Bank. The Bank serves Bucks, Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia and York Counties in Pennsylvania and Atlantic and Cape May Counties in New Jersey through thirty-nine banking offices and provides banking services to the residents and employees of fourteen retirement communities.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Bank as the Corporation’s primary subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of EstimatesThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and the calculation of the reserve for loan and lease losses
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share The Corporation uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share as the unvested restricted stock awards outstanding under the Corporation's equity incentive plans are participating shares with nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if options on common shares had been exercised. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, and are determined using the treasury stock method. The effects of options to issue common stock and unvested restricted stock units are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. Antidilutive options are those options with weighted average exercise prices in excess of the weighted average market value. Antidilutive restricted stock units are those with hypothetical repurchases of shares, under the treasury stock method, exceeding the average restricted stock units outstanding for the periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Corporation has defined those items included in the caption “Cash and due from banks” and "Interest-earning deposits with other banks" as cash and cash equivalents. Interest-earning deposits with other banks consist of deposit accounts with other financial institutions generally having maturities of three months or less. At times, such balances exceed the FDIC limits for insurance coverage.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities Securities are classified as investment securities held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost if management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities purchased with the intention of recognizing short-term profits are placed in the trading account and are carried at fair value. The Corporation did not have any trading account securities at December 31, 2019 or 2018. Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of estimated income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' equity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including interest rates, changes in the maturity or mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other factors. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the expected life of the securities except for premiums on callable debt securities which are amortized to the earliest call date, effective January 1, 2019, in accordance with ASU No. 2017-08. See "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" for additional information. Due to volatility in the financial markets, there is the risk that any future fair value could vary from that disclosed in the accompanying financial statements. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recorded on the trade date, determined using the specific identification method and are included in the consolidated statements of income. Management evaluates debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. government, government sponsored agencies, municipalities, corporations and other issuers, for other-than-temporary impairment by considering the current economic conditions, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, market interest rates, creditworthiness of the issuer and the credit rating of each security. Unrealized losses on the Corporation’s investments in debt securities that are deemed temporary in nature are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Should it be determined that a security is impacted by deteriorating credit or if it is expected the value will not recover during the expected holding period, the credit portion of the loss is recognized in earnings. Equity securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income effective January 1, 2018, in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01. The Corporation evaluates its equity securities for impairment.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Certain Other Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values	Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Certain Other Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Bank held $14.6 million in Federal Reserve Bank stock as required by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank is a member of the FHLB, and as such, is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership as determined by the FHLB. The Bank is required to hold additional stock in the FHLB in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The Bank held FHLB stock of $13.5 million and $13.6 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Because ownership is restricted, the fair values of these investments are not readily determinable. As such, these investments are recorded at cost and evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment. The Corporation determined there was no other-than-temporary impairment of its investments in these stocks at December 31, 2019 or 2018.
Loans Held For Sale	Loans Held for SaleThe Corporation originates mortgage loans for investment and for sale. At origination, a mortgage loan is identified as either for sale or for investment. Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Net unrealized losses are recognized by charges to non-interest income. Cash payments and cash receipts resulting from acquisitions and sales of loans are classified as operating cash flows if those loans are acquired specifically for resale. Cash receipts resulting from sales of loans that were not specifically acquired for resale are classified as investing cash inflows regardless of a change in the purpose for holding those loans.
Loans and Leases	Loans and Leases Loans are stated at the principal amount, net of deferred fees and costs. Lease financings are stated at net investment amount, consisting of the present value of lease payments and unguaranteed residual value, plus initial direct costs. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the customers. These commitments represent off-balance sheet items that are unfunded. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments. Accrual of interest income on loans and leases ceases when collectability of interest and/or principal is questionable. If it is determined that the collection of interest previously accrued is uncertain, such accrual is reversed and charged to current earnings. Loans and leases are considered past due based upon the failure to comply with contractual terms. A loan or lease is typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan or lease is currently performing. When a loan or lease, including a loan or lease that is impaired, is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan or lease is discontinued. A loan or lease may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed and the amortization of the deferred fees and costs is suspended. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans and leases are either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the ultimate collectability of principal. Loans and leases are usually restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. A loan or lease is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when a loan or lease is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Interest on impaired loans and leases, which are not classified as nonaccrual, is recognized on the accrual basis. A loan or lease is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when a concession has been granted to an existing borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The Corporation grants concessions to existing borrowers primarily related to extensions of interest-only payment periods and an occasional payment modification. These modifications typically are for up to one year. The goal when restructuring a credit is to establish a reasonable period of time to provide cash flow relief to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans are primarily comprised of loans on which interest is being accrued under the restructured terms, and the loans are current or less than ninety days past due. Overdraft deposits are re-classified as loans and are included in the total loans and leases on the balance sheet.
Acquired Loans	Acquired Loans Acquired loan portfolios are initially recorded at the acquisition date fair value. The fair value is based on guidance which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Level 3 inputs are utilized to value the portfolio and include the use of present value techniques employing cash flow estimates and incorporate assumptions that marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. In instances where reliable market information is not available, the Corporation uses assumptions in an effort to determine reasonable fair value. Specifically, management utilizes three separate fair value analyses which a market participant would employ in estimating the total fair value adjustment. The three separate fair valuation methodologies used are: (1) interest rate loan fair value analysis; (2) general credit fair value analysis; and (3) specific credit fair value analysis. There is no carryover related allowance for loan losses. For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the fair value adjustments to reflect the fair value of the loans and the fair value adjustments to reflect the general credit risk of the loan portfolio are substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method based upon the expected life of the loan. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Corporation records a provision for loan losses for the acquired non-impaired loans only when additional deterioration of the portfolio is identified over the projections utilized in the initial fair value analysis. For loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Corporation prepares a specific credit fair value adjustment. Management reviews the acquired loan portfolio for loans meeting the definition of an impaired loan with deteriorated credit quality. Loans meeting this definition are reviewed by comparing the contractual cash flows to expected collectible cash flows. The aggregate expected cash flows less the acquisition date fair value results in an accretable yield amount. The accretable discount amount is recognized over the life of the loans on a level yield basis as an adjustment to yield. Any disposals of loans, including sales of loans, payments in full or foreclosures result in the derecognition of the loan at its carrying value with differences in actual results reflected in interest income. After the acquisition measurement period, the present value of any decreases in expected cash flows of acquired credit impaired loans will generally result in an impairment charge recorded as a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance.
Loan and Lease Fees	Loan and Lease Fees Fees collected upon loan or lease origination and certain direct costs of originating loans and leases are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the related loans and leases as yield adjustments using the interest method. Upon prepayment or other disposition of the underlying loans and leases before their contractual maturities, any associated unearned fees or unamortized costs are recognized. Initial direct costs, comprised of commissions paid that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract, and are classified within net interest income on leases.
Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses	Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses The reserve for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level representing management's best estimate of known risks and inherent losses in the portfolio, based upon management's evaluation of the portfolio's collectability. Management evaluates the need to establish reserves against losses on loans and leases on a quarterly basis. When changes in the reserve are necessary, an adjustment is made. The reserve for loan and lease losses is adjusted through provisions for loan and lease losses charged against or credited to income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the reserve for loan and lease losses, and any subsequent recoveries are credited to the reserve. Reserve Required for Impaired Loans and Leases A loan or lease is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect future payments of principal or interest as contractually due. The Bank applies its normal loan review procedures in determining if a loan is impaired, which includes reviewing the collectability of delinquent and internally classified loans on a regular basis and at least quarterly. In determining the likelihood of collecting principal and interest, the Bank considers all available and relevant information, including the borrower's actual and projected cash flows, balance sheet strength, liquidity and overall financial position. Additionally, all loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired. When a loan is classified as impaired, an impairment analysis is performed within the quarter in which a loan is identified as impaired to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. The Bank re-examines each impaired loan on a quarterly basis to determine if any adjustment to the valuation allowance or net carrying amount of a loan is required. The Bank recognizes charge-offs associated with impaired loans when all or a portion of a loan is considered to be uncollectible. In measuring impairment, the Bank determines whether or not the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral, which includes repayment from the proceeds from the sale of the collateral, cash flows from the continued operation of the collateral, or both, and there are no other available and reliable repayment sources. To determine the initial amount of impairment for a collateral dependent loan, the Bank utilizes a recent appraisal, an agreement of sale or a letter of intent. If the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, is less than the loan's carrying amount, the Bank adds a provision to the reserve for loan and lease losses in the amount of the difference between fair value, less costs to sell, and the loan or lease's carrying amount. In subsequent periods, the Bank takes into consideration current facts and circumstances in analyzing whether the fair value of the collateral has increased or decreased significantly such that a change to the corresponding valuation allowance is required. If current facts and circumstances are insufficient to determine fair value, the Bank obtains a new appraisal. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the Bank establishes a specific reserve on impaired loans based on management's estimate of the discounted cash flows the Bank expects to receive from the borrower. Factors considered in evaluating such cash flows include: (1) the strength of the customer's personal or business cash flows and personal guarantees; (2) the borrower's effort to cure the delinquency; (3) the availability of other sources of repayment; (4) the type and value of collateral, if applicable; and (5) the strength of our collateral position, if applicable. General Reserve on the Remainder of the Portfolio The Bank establishes a general reserve for loans and leases that are not considered impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities. This general reserve is determined by segmenting the loan portfolio and assigning reserve factors to each category. The reserve factors are calculated using the Bank's historical losses over a determined observation period and loss emergence periods, and are adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors include: •Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; •Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments; •Changes in the size and composition of the portfolio and in the terms of loans; •Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; •Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans; •Changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system; •Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; •The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and •The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio. The Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are unfunded in categories with historical loss experience.
Premises and Equipment	Premises and Equipment Land is stated at cost, and premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method and charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, for leasehold improvements, over the expected life of the related lease if less than the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful life for new buildings constructed on land owned is forty years. For new buildings constructed on leased land or land improvements, the estimated useful life is the initial term including anticipated renewable terms, typically not exceeding twenty-five years. The useful life of purchased existing buildings is the estimated remaining useful life at the time of the purchase. Furniture, fixtures and equipment have estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Corporation accounts for its acquisitions using the purchase accounting method. Purchase accounting requires the total purchase price to be allocated to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain intangible assets that must be recognized. Typically, this allocation results in the purchase price exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired, which is recorded as goodwill. Core deposit intangibles are a measure of the value of checking, money market and savings deposits acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Core deposit intangibles are amortized using the sum of the year’s digits over their estimated useful lives of up to fifteen years. Customer related intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five to twelve years. The Corporation completes a goodwill analysis at least on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. The Corporation also completes an impairment test for other intangible assets on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when loans are sold and the servicing rights are retained. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are reported in other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income on a basis similar to the interest method and an accelerated amortization method for loan payoffs. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment, on a quarterly basis, based upon the estimated fair value of the rights as compared to their amortized cost. The Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the current interest rates of the portfolios serviced. The impairment test stratifies servicing assets based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial assets such as the term and interest rate. In conjunction with the impairment test, the Corporation records a valuation allowance when the fair value of the stratified servicing asset is less than amortized cost. Subsequent changes in the valuation of the assets are recorded as either an increase or a reduction of the valuation allowance, however, if the fair value exceeds amortized cost, such excess will not be recognized.
Bank Owned Life Insurance	Bank Owned Life Insurance The Corporation has invested in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI). BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Corporation for certain employees. The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of the policies, however certain policies include split-dollar endorsements. Under these endorsements, beneficiaries of the insured individuals are entitled to a portion of the proceeds from the policy upon death of the insured. The life insurance investment is carried at the net cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Changes in the net cash surrender value of these policies are reflected in noninterest income. Proceeds from and purchases of bank-owned life insurance are reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows under investing activities. The Corporation recognizes a liability for the future death benefit for certain endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a death benefit in a postretirement/termination period.
Other Real Estate Owned	Other Real Estate OwnedOther real estate owned (OREO) represents properties acquired through customers’ loan defaults and is included in other assets. The real estate is originally stated at an amount equal to the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The fair value less cost to sell becomes the "original cost" of the OREO asset. The amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of the loan plus recorded accrued interest (the recorded loan amount) exceeds the fair value less cost to sell of the OREO, is charged against the reserve for loan and lease losses at the time of foreclosure or repossession. If the fair value less cost to sell of the OREO asset when taken into possession is greater than the recorded loan amount, the excess is first applied as a recovery against any prior charge-offs of the loan and any remaining gain is recorded as other noninterest income. Subsequently, OREO is reported at the lower of the original cost or the current fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent write-downs and any gain or loss upon the sale of OREO is recorded in other noninterest income. Capital improvement expenses associated with the construction or repair of the property are capitalized as part of the cost of the OREO asset; however, the capitalized expenses may not increase the OREO asset's recorded value to an amount greater than the asset's fair value after improvements and less cost to sell. Overages and subsequent carrying costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income TaxesThere are two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense approximates cash to be paid or refunded for taxes for the applicable period. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between amounts reported for financial statement and tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment based upon available evidence that future taxes are “more likely than not” to be realized. If management determines that the Corporation is not more likely than not to realize some or all of the net deferred tax asset in the future, a charge to income tax expense may be required to reduce the value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable value. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Penalties are recorded in noninterest expense in the year they are assessed and paid and are treated as a nondeductible expense for tax purposes. Interest is recorded in noninterest expense in the year it is assessed and paid and is treated as a deductible expense for tax purposes.
Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits	Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits Substantially all employees who were hired before December 8, 2009 are covered by a noncontributory retirement plan. Effective December 31, 2009, the benefits previously accrued under the noncontributory retirement plan were frozen and the plan was amended and converted to a cash balance plan, with participants not losing any pension benefits already earned in the plan. Prior to the cash balance plan conversion effective December 31, 2009, the plan provided benefits based on a formula of each participant’s final average pay. Future benefits under the cash balance plan accrue by crediting participants annually with an amount equal to a percentage of earnings in that year based on years of credited service as defined in the plan. Employees hired on or after December 8, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the noncontributory retirement plan. The Corporation also provides supplemental executive retirement benefits to certain former executives, a portion of which is in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. These plans are non-qualified benefit plans. These non-qualified benefit plans are not offered to new participants and all current participants are now retired. The Corporation provides certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees. The Corporation’s measurement date for plan assets and obligation is fiscal year-end. The Corporation recognizes on its consolidated balance sheet the funded status of its defined pension plans and changes in the funded status of the plan in the year in which the changes occur. An under-funded position would create a liability and an over-funded position would create an asset, with a correlating deferred tax asset or liability. The net impact would be an adjustment to equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Corporation recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) deferred salary savings plan, which is a qualified defined contribution plan, and which covers all employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and provides that the Corporation make matching contributions as defined by the plan. The Corporation sponsors a Supplemental Non-Qualified Pension Plan (SNQPP) which was established in 1981 prior to the existence of 401(k) deferred salary savings, employee stock purchase and long-term incentive plans and therefore is not offered to new participants. All current participants are now retired. This non-qualified plan is accounted for under guidance for deferred compensation arrangements.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The fair value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, on a straight-line basis, based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. The Corporation uses the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes Model estimates the fair value of employee stock options using a pricing model which takes into consideration the exercise price of the option, the expected life of the option, the current market price and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Corporation records forfeitures as they occur. Options issued become exercisable and vest equally over a three year period and remain exercisable for a period not exceeding ten years from the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock is equivalent to the fair value of the Corporation's common stock on the date of grant. The Corporation grants performance-based and service-based restricted stock. The performance-based restricted stock vests based upon the Corporation’s performance with respect to certain financial measures over a three-year period and based on the passage of time. The service-based restricted stock vests based on the passage of time. The fair value of restricted stock is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period and for performance-based restricted stock is adjusted for a probability factor of achieving the performance goals.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments The Corporation recognizes all derivative financial instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recognized in earnings. To determine fair value, the Corporation uses third party pricing models that incorporate assumptions about market conditions and risks that are current at the reporting date. The Corporation may use interest-rate swap agreements to modify interest rate characteristics from variable to fixed or fixed to variable in order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future net interest income. The Corporation accounts for its interest-rate swap contracts in cash flow hedging relationships by establishing and documenting the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the change in cash flows of assets or liabilities that are being hedged. To determine effectiveness, the Corporation performs an analysis to identify if changes in fair value of the derivative correlate to the equivalent changes in the forecasted interest receipts related to a specified hedged item. Recorded amounts related to interest-rate swaps are included in other assets or liabilities. The entire change in the fair values of the derivative instruments designated as hedges of future cash flows are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying forecasted transactions occur, at which time the deferred gains and losses are recognized in interest income. In a fair value hedge, the entire change in the fair values of the interest rate swap and hedged item included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in interest income effective January 1, 2019. Prior to January 1, 2019, the difference between changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreement and the hedged loan represents hedge ineffectiveness and was recorded in other noninterest income. The Corporation performs an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and quarterly thereafter, to determine whether these derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the value of the hedged items. The Corporation has agreements with third-party financial institutions whereby the third-party financial institution enters into interest rate derivative contracts with loan customers referred to them by the Corporation. By the terms of the agreements, the third-party financial institution has recourse to the Corporation for any exposure created under each swap contract in the event the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. The Corporation records the fair value of credit derivatives in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation recognizes changes in the fair value of credit derivatives, net of any fees received, in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sale of mortgage loans to third-party investors to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the value of the interest rate locks. Forward loan sale commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a fixed price at a future date. Both the interest rate locks and the forward loan sale commitments are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded within other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded within the net gain on mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income.
Dividend Reinvestment and Employee Stock Purchase Plans	Dividend Reinvestment and Employee Stock Purchase Plans The Univest Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows for the issuance of 1,968,750 shares of common stock. During 2019 and 2018, 61,955 and 57,838 shares, respectively, were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan, with 197,490 shares available for future purchase at December 31, 2019. The 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows for the issuance of 984,375 shares of common stock. Employees may elect to make contributions to the plan in an aggregate amount not less than 2% or more than 10% of such employee’s total compensation. These contributions are then used to purchase stock during an offering period determined by the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan Committee. The purchase price of the stock is 90% of the closing sale price on the last trading day of each quarter. Compensation expense is recognized as the discount is greater than 5% of the fair value. During 2019 and 2018, 28,714 and 26,628 shares, respectively, were issued under the employee stock purchase plan, with 599,831 shares available for future purchase at December 31, 2019.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Corporation’s revenue is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. Revenues are recognized when obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied, including the transfer of control of the promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Corporation provides services to customers which have related performance obligations that are completed to recognize revenue. The Corporation's revenues are generally recognized either immediately upon the completion of the services or over time as the services are performed. Any services performed over time generally require services to be rendered each period and therefore progress in completing these services is measured based upon the passage of time.
Marketing and Advertising Costs	Marketing and Advertising Costs The Corporation’s accounting policy is to expense marketing and advertising costs as incurred.
Trust Assets	Assets under Management and Supervision Assets held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the Corporation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" and subsequent related updates to revise the accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases based on the present value of future lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate. Lessor accounting activities are largely unchanged from existing lease accounting. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance was effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. The Corporation adopted this guidance, and subsequent related updates, on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, representing the difference between the value of the Corporation’s lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets and the existing deferred rent liability, at January 1, 2019. The Corporation elected the package of practical expedients, which includes a provision which allows for the grandfathering of lease classification, among other items, and the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term. All leases in which the Corporation is the lessee were classified as operating leases and continue to be classified as such. On January 1, 2019, the Corporation recorded $39.6 million of operating lease liabilities and $36.6 million of related right-of-use assets and released $1.0 million of existing deferred rent liability. The resulting cumulative effect adjustment of $1.5 million, net of tax, was recorded to retained earnings at January 1, 2019. The initial and continued impact of the recording of operating lease assets had and will continue to have a negative impact on all Corporation and Bank regulatory capital ratios. Additionally, the Corporation early adopted (ASU) No. 2019-01, "Codification Improvements", as of January 1, 2019, which serves as an update to (ASU) No. 2016-02, and is effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, or January 1, 2020, for the Corporation. See Note 5, "Loans and Leases" and Note 15, "Leases" for applicable disclosures including quantitative and qualitative information about the Corporation’s leases. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" and subsequent related updates. The amendments in this update expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The ASU amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how entities assess effectiveness. The ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires all items that affect earnings be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged items. The amendments in this guidance permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes to facilitate the LIBOR to SOFR transition. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance was required only prospectively. The Corporation adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings effective January 1, 2019. The Corporation recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $83 thousand related to ineffectiveness on a cash flow hedge, which was reclassified from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income, effective January 1, 2019. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date rather than the maturity of the security. Securities within the scope of this guidance are those that have explicit, non-contingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. At December 31, 2018, the Corporation had $11.3 million of callable debt securities. The Corporation adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings effective January 1, 2019. The Corporation recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment resulting in a reduction in the unamortized premium balance for certain callable debt securities of $49 thousand and a reduction in retained earnings of approximately $39 thousand, net of tax, for the incremental amortization. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent related updates. This ASU requires businesses and other organizations to measure the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets, such as loans, net investments in leases, certain debt securities, bond insurance and other receivables. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology, which delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses at the time a financial asset is recorded and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonableness and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Acquired credit impaired loans for which the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-30 has been previously applied should prospectively apply the guidance in this ASU. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized before the effective date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers, or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation. The Corporation will adopt this new guidance effective January 1, 2020, retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2020. The Corporation has largely completed its assessment of related processes, internal controls, and data sources and has developed, documented, and validated a discounted cash flows model utilizing a third-party software provider. While the Corporation continues to analyze and evaluate the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Corporation's financial statements, it is anticipated that the reserve for credit losses will increase by $13.0 million to $16.0 million and shareholders' equity will decrease by $10.2 million to $12.6 million. The Corporation anticipates that the Corporation and the Bank will continue to be well capitalized after the negative impact resulting from the adoption of CECL. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This ASU applies to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. Disclosures removed by this ASU are the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 measurements. This ASU modifies disclosures relating to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value. Additional disclosures required by this ASU include: 1) change in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and 2) range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The prospective method of transition is required for the new disclosure requirements. The other amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements but will result in revised disclosures for fair value. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or for the Corporation's goodwill impairment test in 2020. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit plans or other postretirement plans. Disclosures removed by this ASU include the following: 1) amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year; 2) amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; and 3) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures required by this ASU include: 1) the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in an entity's cash balance pension plans and other similar plans and 2) explanations for reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. All amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 or December 31, 2020 for the Corporation. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statement disclosures but will result in revised disclosures for retirement plans and other postretirement benefits.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

Univest Financial Corporation (the Corporation) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the Bank), is engaged in domestic banking services for individuals, businesses, municipalities and non-profit organizations. The Bank is the parent company of Girard Investment Services, LLC, a registered introducing broker-dealer and a licensed insurance agency, Girard Advisory Services, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm and Girard Pension Services, LLC, a registered investment advisor, which provides investment consulting and management services to municipal entities. The Bank is also the parent company of Univest Insurance, LLC, an independent insurance agency and Univest Capital, Inc., an equipment financing business. The Bank's subsidiaries serve to enhance the traditional banking services provided by the Bank.

The Bank serves Bucks, Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia and York Counties in Pennsylvania and Atlantic and Cape May Counties in New Jersey through thirty-nine banking offices and provides banking services to the residents and employees of fourteen retirement communities.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Bank as the Corporation’s primary subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

Use of Estimates

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and the calculation of the reserve for loan and lease losses

Earnings per Share

The Corporation uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share as the unvested restricted stock awards outstanding under the Corporation's equity incentive plans are participating shares with nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if options on common shares had been exercised. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, and are determined using the treasury stock method. The effects of options to issue common stock and unvested restricted stock units are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. Antidilutive options are those options with weighted average exercise prices in excess of the weighted average market value. Antidilutive restricted stock units are those with hypothetical repurchases of shares, under the treasury stock method, exceeding the average restricted stock units outstanding for the periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Corporation has defined those items included in the caption “Cash and due from banks” and "Interest-earning deposits with other banks" as cash and cash equivalents. Interest-earning deposits with other banks consist of deposit accounts with other

financial institutions generally having maturities of three months or less. At times, such balances exceed the FDIC limits for insurance coverage.

Investment Securities

Securities are classified as investment securities held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost if management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities purchased with the intention of recognizing short-term profits are placed in the trading account and are carried at fair value. The Corporation did not have any trading account securities at December 31, 2019 or 2018. Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of estimated income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' equity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including interest rates, changes in the maturity or mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other factors. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the expected life of the securities except for premiums on callable debt securities which are amortized to the earliest call date, effective January 1, 2019, in accordance with ASU No. 2017-08. See "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" for additional information. Due to volatility in the financial markets, there is the risk that any future fair value could vary from that disclosed in the accompanying financial statements. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recorded on the trade date, determined using the specific identification method and are included in the consolidated statements of income.

Management evaluates debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. government, government sponsored agencies, municipalities, corporations and other issuers, for other-than-temporary impairment by considering the current economic conditions, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, market interest rates, creditworthiness of the issuer and the credit rating of each security. Unrealized losses on the Corporation’s investments in debt securities that are deemed temporary in nature are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Should it be determined that a security is impacted by deteriorating credit or if it is expected the value will not recover during the expected holding period, the credit portion of the loss is recognized in earnings.

Equity securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income effective January 1, 2018, in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01. The Corporation evaluates its equity securities for impairment.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Certain Other Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Certain Other Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Bank held $14.6 million in Federal Reserve Bank stock as required by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank is a member of the FHLB, and as such, is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership as determined by the FHLB. The Bank is required to hold additional stock in the FHLB in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The Bank held FHLB stock of $13.5 million and $13.6 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Because ownership is restricted, the fair values of these investments are not readily determinable. As such, these investments are recorded at cost and evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment. The Corporation determined there was no other-than-temporary impairment of its investments in these stocks at December 31, 2019 or 2018.

Loans Held For Sale

Loans Held for SaleThe Corporation originates mortgage loans for investment and for sale. At origination, a mortgage loan is identified as either for sale or for investment. Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Net unrealized losses are recognized by charges to non-interest income. Cash payments and cash receipts resulting from acquisitions and sales of loans are classified as operating cash flows if those loans are acquired specifically for resale. Cash receipts resulting from sales of loans that were not specifically acquired for resale are classified as investing cash inflows regardless of a change in the purpose for holding those loans.

Loans and Leases

Loans are stated at the principal amount, net of deferred fees and costs. Lease financings are stated at net investment amount, consisting of the present value of lease payments and unguaranteed residual value, plus initial direct costs. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the customers. These commitments represent off-balance sheet

items that are unfunded. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments. Accrual of interest income on loans and leases ceases when collectability of interest and/or principal is questionable. If it is determined that the collection of interest previously accrued is uncertain, such accrual is reversed and charged to current earnings. Loans and leases are considered past due based upon the failure to comply with contractual terms.

A loan or lease is typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan or lease is currently performing. When a loan or lease, including a loan or lease that is impaired, is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan or lease is discontinued. A loan or lease may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed and the amortization of the deferred fees and costs is suspended. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans and leases are either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the ultimate collectability of principal. Loans and leases are usually restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. A loan or lease is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when a loan or lease is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Interest on impaired loans and leases, which are not classified as nonaccrual, is recognized on the accrual basis.

A loan or lease is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when a concession has been granted to an existing borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The Corporation grants concessions to existing borrowers primarily related to extensions of interest-only payment periods and an occasional payment modification. These modifications typically are for up to one year. The goal when restructuring a credit is to establish a reasonable period of time to provide cash flow relief to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans are primarily comprised of loans on which interest is being accrued under the restructured terms, and the loans are current or less than ninety days past due.

Overdraft deposits are re-classified as loans and are included in the total loans and leases on the balance sheet.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loan portfolios are initially recorded at the acquisition date fair value. The fair value is based on guidance which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Level 3 inputs are utilized to value the portfolio and include the use of present value techniques employing cash flow estimates and incorporate assumptions that marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. In instances where reliable market information is not available, the Corporation uses assumptions in an effort to determine reasonable fair value. Specifically, management utilizes three separate fair value analyses which a market participant would employ in estimating the total fair value adjustment. The three separate fair valuation methodologies used are: (1) interest rate loan fair value analysis; (2) general credit fair value analysis; and (3) specific credit fair value analysis. There is no carryover related allowance for loan losses.

For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the fair value adjustments to reflect the fair value of the loans and the fair value adjustments to reflect the general credit risk of the loan portfolio are substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method based upon the expected life of the loan. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Corporation records a provision for loan losses for the acquired non-impaired loans only when additional deterioration of the portfolio is identified over the projections utilized in the initial fair value analysis.

For loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Corporation prepares a specific credit fair value adjustment. Management reviews the acquired loan portfolio for loans meeting the definition of an impaired loan with deteriorated credit quality. Loans meeting this definition are reviewed by comparing the contractual cash flows to expected collectible cash flows. The aggregate expected cash flows less the acquisition date fair value results in an accretable yield amount. The accretable discount amount is recognized over the life of the loans on a level yield basis as an adjustment to yield. Any disposals of loans, including sales of loans, payments in full or foreclosures result in the derecognition of the loan at its carrying value with differences in actual results reflected in interest income. After the acquisition measurement period, the present value of any decreases in expected cash flows of acquired credit impaired loans will generally result in an impairment charge recorded as a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance.

Loan and Lease Fees

Fees collected upon loan or lease origination and certain direct costs of originating loans and leases are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the related loans and leases as yield adjustments using the interest method. Upon prepayment or other disposition of the underlying loans and leases before their contractual maturities, any associated unearned fees or unamortized costs are recognized. Initial direct costs, comprised of commissions paid that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract, and are classified within net interest income on leases.

Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses

The reserve for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level representing management's best estimate of known risks and inherent losses in the portfolio, based upon management's evaluation of the portfolio's collectability. Management evaluates the need to establish reserves against losses on loans and leases on a quarterly basis. When changes in the reserve are necessary, an adjustment is made.

The reserve for loan and lease losses is adjusted through provisions for loan and lease losses charged against or credited to income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the reserve for loan and lease losses, and any subsequent recoveries are credited to the reserve.

Reserve Required for Impaired Loans and Leases

A loan or lease is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect future payments of principal or interest as contractually due. The Bank applies its normal loan review procedures in determining if a loan is impaired, which includes reviewing the collectability of delinquent and internally classified loans on a regular basis and at least quarterly. In determining the likelihood of collecting principal and interest, the Bank considers all available and relevant information, including the borrower's actual and projected cash flows, balance sheet strength, liquidity and overall financial position. Additionally, all loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired. When a loan is classified as impaired, an impairment analysis is performed within the quarter in which a loan is identified as impaired to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. The Bank re-examines each impaired loan on a quarterly basis to determine if any adjustment to the valuation allowance or net carrying amount of a loan is required. The Bank recognizes charge-offs associated with impaired loans when all or a portion of a loan is considered to be uncollectible. In measuring impairment, the Bank determines whether or not the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral, which includes repayment from the proceeds from the sale of the collateral, cash flows from the continued operation of the collateral, or both, and there are no other available and reliable repayment sources. To determine the initial amount of impairment for a collateral dependent loan, the Bank utilizes a recent appraisal, an agreement of sale or a letter of intent. If the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, is less than the loan's carrying amount, the Bank adds a provision to the reserve for loan and lease losses in the amount of the difference between fair value, less costs to sell, and the loan or lease's carrying amount. In subsequent periods, the Bank takes into consideration current facts and circumstances in analyzing whether the fair value of the collateral has increased or decreased significantly such that a change to the corresponding valuation allowance is required. If current facts and circumstances are insufficient to determine fair value, the Bank obtains a new appraisal.

For loans that are not collateral dependent, the Bank establishes a specific reserve on impaired loans based on management's estimate of the discounted cash flows the Bank expects to receive from the borrower. Factors considered in evaluating such cash flows include: (1) the strength of the customer's personal or business cash flows and personal guarantees; (2) the borrower's effort to cure the delinquency; (3) the availability of other sources of repayment; (4) the type and value of collateral, if applicable; and (5) the strength of our collateral position, if applicable.

General Reserve on the Remainder of the Portfolio

The Bank establishes a general reserve for loans and leases that are not considered impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities. This general reserve is determined by segmenting the loan portfolio and assigning reserve factors to each category. The reserve factors are calculated using the Bank's historical losses over a determined observation period and loss emergence periods, and are adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors include:

•Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses;

•Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;

•Changes in the size and composition of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

•Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

•Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

•Changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system;

•Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

•The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

•The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.

The Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are unfunded in categories with historical loss experience.

Premises and Equipment

Land is stated at cost, and premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method and charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, for leasehold improvements, over the expected life of the related lease if less than the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful life for new buildings constructed on land owned is forty years. For new buildings constructed on leased land or land improvements, the estimated useful life is the initial term including anticipated renewable terms, typically not exceeding twenty-five years. The useful life of purchased existing buildings is the estimated remaining useful life at the time of the purchase. Furniture, fixtures and equipment have estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Corporation accounts for its acquisitions using the purchase accounting method. Purchase accounting requires the total purchase price to be allocated to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain intangible assets that must be recognized. Typically, this allocation results in the purchase price exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired, which is recorded as goodwill. Core deposit intangibles are a measure of the value of checking, money market and savings deposits acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Core deposit intangibles are amortized using the sum of the year’s digits over their estimated useful lives of up to fifteen years. Customer related intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five to twelve years. The Corporation completes a goodwill analysis at least on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. The Corporation also completes an impairment test for other intangible assets on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment.

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when loans are sold and the servicing rights are retained. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are reported in other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income on a basis similar to the interest method and an accelerated amortization method for loan payoffs. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment, on a quarterly basis, based upon the estimated fair value of the rights as compared to their amortized cost. The Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the current interest rates of the portfolios serviced. The impairment test stratifies servicing assets based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial assets such as the term and interest rate. In conjunction with the impairment test, the Corporation records a valuation allowance when the fair value of the stratified servicing asset is less than amortized cost. Subsequent changes in the valuation of the assets are recorded as either an increase or a reduction of the valuation allowance, however, if the fair value exceeds amortized cost, such excess will not be recognized.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Corporation has invested in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI). BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Corporation for certain employees. The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of the policies, however certain policies include split-dollar endorsements. Under these endorsements, beneficiaries of the insured individuals are entitled to a portion of the proceeds from the policy upon death of the insured. The life insurance investment is carried at the net cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Changes in the net cash surrender value of these policies are reflected in noninterest income.

Proceeds from and purchases of bank-owned life insurance are reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows under investing activities. The Corporation recognizes a liability for the future death benefit for certain endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a death benefit in a postretirement/termination period.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other Real Estate OwnedOther real estate owned (OREO) represents properties acquired through customers’ loan defaults and is included in other assets. The real estate is originally stated at an amount equal to the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The fair value less cost to sell becomes the "original cost" of the OREO asset. The amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of the loan plus recorded accrued interest (the recorded loan amount) exceeds the fair value less cost to sell of the OREO, is charged against the reserve for loan and lease losses at the time of foreclosure or repossession. If the fair value less cost to sell of the OREO asset when taken into possession is greater than the recorded loan amount, the excess is first applied as a recovery against any prior charge-offs of the loan and any remaining gain is recorded as other noninterest income. Subsequently, OREO is reported at the lower of the original cost or the current fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent write-downs and any gain or loss upon the sale of OREO is recorded in other noninterest income. Capital improvement expenses associated with the construction or repair of the property are capitalized as part of the cost of the OREO asset; however, the capitalized expenses may not increase the OREO asset's recorded value to an amount greater than the asset's fair value after improvements and less cost to sell. Overages and subsequent carrying costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income TaxesThere are two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense approximates cash to be paid or refunded for taxes for the applicable period. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between amounts reported for financial statement and tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment based upon available evidence that future taxes are “more likely than not” to be realized. If management determines that the Corporation is not more likely than not to realize some or all of the net deferred tax asset in the future, a charge to income tax expense may be required to reduce the value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable value. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Penalties are recorded in noninterest expense in the year they are assessed and paid and are treated as a nondeductible expense for tax purposes. Interest is recorded in noninterest expense in the year it is assessed and paid and is treated as a deductible expense for tax purposes.

Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

Substantially all employees who were hired before December 8, 2009 are covered by a noncontributory retirement plan. Effective December 31, 2009, the benefits previously accrued under the noncontributory retirement plan were frozen and the plan was amended and converted to a cash balance plan, with participants not losing any pension benefits already earned in the plan. Prior to the cash balance plan conversion effective December 31, 2009, the plan provided benefits based on a formula of each participant’s final average pay. Future benefits under the cash balance plan accrue by crediting participants annually with an amount equal to a percentage of earnings in that year based on years of credited service as defined in the plan. Employees hired on or after December 8, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the noncontributory retirement plan. The Corporation also provides supplemental executive retirement benefits to certain former executives, a portion of which is in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. These plans are non-qualified benefit plans. These non-qualified benefit plans are not offered to new participants and all current participants are now retired. The Corporation provides certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees. The Corporation’s measurement date for plan assets and obligation is fiscal year-end. The Corporation recognizes on its consolidated balance sheet the funded status of its defined pension plans and changes in the funded status of the plan in the year in which the changes occur. An under-funded position would create a liability and an over-funded position would create an asset, with a correlating deferred tax asset or liability. The net impact would be an adjustment to equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Corporation recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period.

The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) deferred salary savings plan, which is a qualified defined contribution plan, and which covers all employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and provides that the Corporation make matching contributions as defined by the plan.

The Corporation sponsors a Supplemental Non-Qualified Pension Plan (SNQPP) which was established in 1981 prior to the existence of 401(k) deferred salary savings, employee stock purchase and long-term incentive plans and therefore is not offered to new participants. All current participants are now retired. This non-qualified plan is accounted for under guidance for deferred compensation arrangements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of share-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, on a straight-line basis, based on the grant-date fair value of the awards.

The Corporation uses the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes Model estimates the fair value of employee stock options using a pricing model which takes into consideration the exercise price of the option, the expected life of the option, the current market price and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Corporation records forfeitures as they occur. Options issued become exercisable and vest equally over a three year period and remain exercisable for a period not exceeding ten years from the date of grant.

The fair value of restricted stock is equivalent to the fair value of the Corporation's common stock on the date of grant. The Corporation grants performance-based and service-based restricted stock. The performance-based restricted stock vests based upon the Corporation’s performance with respect to certain financial measures over a three-year period and based on the passage of time. The service-based restricted stock vests based on the passage of time. The fair value of restricted stock is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period and for performance-based restricted stock is adjusted for a probability factor of achieving the performance goals.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation recognizes all derivative financial instruments on its balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recognized in earnings. To determine fair value, the Corporation uses third party pricing models that incorporate assumptions about market conditions and risks that are current at the reporting date.

The Corporation may use interest-rate swap agreements to modify interest rate characteristics from variable to fixed or fixed to variable in order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future net interest income. The Corporation accounts for its interest-rate swap contracts in cash flow hedging relationships by establishing and documenting the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the change in cash flows of assets or liabilities that are being hedged. To determine effectiveness, the Corporation performs an analysis to identify if changes in fair value of the derivative correlate to the equivalent changes in the forecasted interest receipts related to a specified hedged item. Recorded amounts related to interest-rate swaps are included in other assets or liabilities. The entire change in the fair values of the derivative instruments designated as hedges of future cash flows are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying forecasted transactions occur, at which time the deferred gains and losses are recognized in interest income. In a fair value hedge, the entire change in the fair values of the interest rate swap and hedged item included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in interest income effective January 1, 2019. Prior to January 1, 2019, the difference between changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreement and the hedged loan represents hedge ineffectiveness and was recorded in other noninterest income. The Corporation performs an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge and quarterly thereafter, to determine whether these derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the value of the hedged items.

The Corporation has agreements with third-party financial institutions whereby the third-party financial institution enters into interest rate derivative contracts with loan customers referred to them by the Corporation. By the terms of the agreements, the third-party financial institution has recourse to the Corporation for any exposure created under each swap contract in the event the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. The Corporation records the fair value of credit derivatives in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation recognizes changes in the fair value of credit derivatives, net of any fees received, in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sale of mortgage loans to third-party investors to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the

value of the interest rate locks. Forward loan sale commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a fixed price at a future date. Both the interest rate locks and the forward loan sale commitments are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded within other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded within the net gain on mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income.

Dividend Reinvestment and Employee Stock Purchase Plans

The Univest Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows for the issuance of 1,968,750 shares of common stock. During 2019 and 2018, 61,955 and 57,838 shares, respectively, were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan, with 197,490 shares available for future purchase at December 31, 2019.

The 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows for the issuance of 984,375 shares of common stock. Employees may elect to make contributions to the plan in an aggregate amount not less than 2% or more than 10% of such employee’s total compensation. These contributions are then used to purchase stock during an offering period determined by the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan Committee. The purchase price of the stock is 90% of the closing sale price on the last trading day of each quarter. Compensation expense is recognized as the discount is greater than 5% of the fair value. During 2019 and 2018, 28,714 and 26,628 shares, respectively, were issued under the employee stock purchase plan, with 599,831 shares available for future purchase at December 31, 2019.

Revenue Recognition

The Corporation’s revenue is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. Revenues are recognized when obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied, including the transfer of control of the promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Corporation expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Corporation provides services to customers which have related performance obligations that are completed to recognize revenue. The Corporation's revenues are generally recognized either immediately upon the completion of the services or over time as the services are performed. Any services performed over time generally require services to be rendered each period and therefore progress in completing these services is measured based upon the passage of time.

Marketing and Advertising Costs

The Corporation’s accounting policy is to expense marketing and advertising costs as incurred.

Trust Assets

Assets under Management and Supervision

Assets held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the Corporation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" and subsequent related updates to revise the accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases based on the present value of future lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate. Lessor accounting activities are largely unchanged from existing lease accounting. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance was effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation.

The Corporation adopted this guidance, and subsequent related updates, on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, representing the difference between the value of the Corporation’s lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets and the existing deferred rent liability, at January 1, 2019. The Corporation elected the package of practical expedients, which includes a provision which allows for the grandfathering of lease classification, among other items, and the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term. All leases in which the Corporation is the lessee were classified as operating leases and continue to be classified as such. On January 1, 2019, the Corporation recorded $39.6 million of operating lease liabilities and $36.6 million of related right-of-use assets and released $1.0 million of existing deferred rent liability. The resulting cumulative effect adjustment of $1.5 million, net of tax, was recorded to retained earnings at January 1, 2019. The initial and continued impact of the recording of operating lease assets had and will continue to have a negative impact on all Corporation and Bank regulatory capital ratios. Additionally, the Corporation early adopted (ASU) No.

2019-01, "Codification Improvements", as of January 1, 2019, which serves as an update to (ASU) No. 2016-02, and is effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, or January 1, 2020, for the Corporation. See Note 5, "Loans and Leases" and Note 15, "Leases" for applicable disclosures including quantitative and qualitative information about the Corporation’s leases.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" and subsequent related updates. The amendments in this update expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The ASU amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how entities assess effectiveness. The ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires all items that affect earnings be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged items. The amendments in this guidance permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes to facilitate the LIBOR to SOFR transition. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance was required only prospectively. The Corporation adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings effective January 1, 2019. The Corporation recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $83 thousand related to ineffectiveness on a cash flow hedge, which was reclassified from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income, effective January 1, 2019.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date rather than the maturity of the security. Securities within the scope of this guidance are those that have explicit, non-contingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. At December 31, 2018, the Corporation had $11.3 million of callable debt securities. The Corporation adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings effective January 1, 2019. The Corporation recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment resulting in a reduction in the unamortized premium balance for certain callable debt securities of $49 thousand and a reduction in retained earnings of approximately $39 thousand, net of tax, for the incremental amortization.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent related updates. This ASU requires businesses and other organizations to measure the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets, such as loans, net investments in leases, certain debt securities, bond insurance and other receivables. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology, which delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses at the time a financial asset is recorded and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonableness and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Acquired credit impaired loans for which the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-30 has been previously applied should prospectively apply the guidance in this ASU. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized before the effective date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers, or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation.

The Corporation will adopt this new guidance effective January 1, 2020, retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2020. The Corporation has largely completed its assessment of related processes, internal controls, and data sources and has developed, documented, and validated a discounted cash flows model utilizing a third-party software provider. While the Corporation continues to analyze and evaluate the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Corporation's financial statements, it is anticipated that the reserve for credit losses will increase by $13.0 million to $16.0 million and shareholders' equity will decrease by $10.2 million to $12.6 million. The Corporation anticipates that the Corporation and the Bank will continue to be well capitalized after the negative impact resulting from the adoption of CECL.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This ASU applies to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. Disclosures removed by this

ASU are the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 measurements. This ASU modifies disclosures relating to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value. Additional disclosures required by this ASU include: 1) change in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and 2) range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The prospective method of transition is required for the new disclosure requirements. The other amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements but will result in revised disclosures for fair value.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or for the Corporation's goodwill impairment test in 2020. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit plans or other postretirement plans. Disclosures removed by this ASU include the following: 1) amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year; 2) amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; and 3) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures required by this ASU include: 1) the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in an entity's cash balance pension plans and other similar plans and 2) explanations for reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. All amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 or December 31, 2020 for the Corporation. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statement disclosures but will result in revised disclosures for retirement plans and other postretirement benefits.
