NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. ("First Guaranty") thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and note disclosures for First Guaranty previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in First Guaranty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations at June 30, 2023 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and the valuation of investment securities.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

First Guaranty adopted FASB ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” Update No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. ASU 2016-13, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) standard, requires financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses, which reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial asset. Unfunded lending commitments are also within the scope of this topic. Under prior GAAP losses were not recognized until the occurrence of the loss was probable.

CECL requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. The CECL methodology requires that lifetime expected credit losses be recorded at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired, and be adjusted each period as a provision for credit losses for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not specify the method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the lifetime credit loss estimate. First Guaranty developed a CECL model methodology that calculates expected credit losses over the life of the portfolio by analyzing the composition, characteristics and quality of the loan and securities portfolios, as well as prevailing economic conditions and forecasts. First Guaranty’s CECL calculation estimates loan losses using a combination of discounted cash flow and remaining life analyses.

First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach for all loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures measured at amortized cost, other than purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2022 are presented in accordance with ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

ASU 2016-13 also amended the accounting model for purchased financial assets and replaced the guidance for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) financial assets with the concept of PCDs. For PCD assets, the CECL estimate is recognized through the allowance for credit losses with an offset to the amortized cost basis of the PCD asset at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses for PCD assets are recognized through a provision for credit losses on loans. First Guaranty used the prospective transition approach for PCD loans that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”). First Guaranty determined that certain PCI assets no longer met meet the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption.

First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, and recorded a one-time, cumulative effect adjustment as shown in the table below (dollars in thousands).

	December 31, 2022		Impact of ASU 2016-13 Adoption		January 1, 2023
Assets:
Allowance for credit losses	$	(23,518)	$	(8,220)	$	(31,738)
Deferred tax asset	6,420		2,100		8,520
Remaining purchase discount on loans	(1,120)		1,120		—
Liabilities:
Reserve for unfunded loan commitments	—		(2,900)		(2,900)
Shareholders' Equity:
Retained earnings	76,351		(7,900)		68,451

In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale (“AFS”) securities, requiring expected credit losses on AFS securities to be recorded in an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost. Declines in the fair value of AFS securities that are not considered credit related are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, expected credit losses on held to maturity (“HTM”) securities are required to be recorded in an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost basis. First Guaranty’s AFS securities portfolio was not materially impacted by the adoption of ASC 326. A $100,000 allowance for HTM securities was recorded at the adoption of ASC 326.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist and is maintained at an amount which management believes is a current estimate of the expected credit losses for the full life of the relevant pool of loans and related unfunded lending commitments. For modeling purposes, loan pools include: Real Estate based pools for construction and land development, farmland, 1-4 family residential, multifamily, and non-farm non-residential and non-real-estate pools for agricultural, commercial and industrial, commercial leases and consumer and other. Management periodically reassesses each pool to confirm the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded lending commitments to calculate an allowance for credit losses.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are excluded from the loan pools and individually evaluated for impairment. Individually evaluated loans are loans for which it is probable that all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.

FASB ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” Update No. 2022-02 (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 became effective for First Guaranty on January 1, 2023 and is applied prospectively. ASU 2022-02 amends Topic 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13 and, instead, requires that an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendment also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on First Guaranty’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

None.

The scheduled maturities of securities at June 30, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to calls or prepayments. Mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity because of amortization and potential prepayment of the underlying mortgages. For this reason, they are presented separately in the maturity table below:

As of June 30, 2023, 177 of First Guaranty's debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 18.5% of the individual securities' amortized cost basis and 18.4% of First Guaranty's total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. 131 of the 177 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months at such date. The 131 securities had an aggregate amortized cost basis of $383.0 million and an unrealized loss of $73.0 million at June 30, 2023. Management has determined that the declines in the fair value of these securities was not attributed to credit losses, and no allowance for credit losses was recorded for available for sale securities at June 30, 2023.

Securities are evaluated for impairment from credit losses at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of First Guaranty to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Investment securities issued by the U.S. Government and Government sponsored enterprises with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities that are the result of changes in market interest rates will not be credit impaired. First Guaranty has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery, which may not be until maturity.

Corporate debt securities in a loss position consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by businesses in the financial, insurance, utility, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas industries. There were no securities with a credit related impairment loss at June 30, 2023. First Guaranty believes that the remaining issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities based on evaluations described above. First Guaranty has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

There was no allowance for credit losses recognized on securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

For securities that have indications of credit related impairment, management analyzes future expected cash flows to determine if any credit related impairment is evident. Estimated cash flows are determined using management's best estimate of future cash flows based on specific assumptions. The assumptions used to determine the cash flows were based on estimates of loss severity and credit default probabilities. Management reviews reports from credit rating agencies and public filings of issuers. 

At June 30, 2023, First Guaranty's exposure to bond issuers that exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity is below: 

	At June 30, 2023
(in thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans

As part of the acquisition of Union Bancshares, Incorporated on November 7, 2019 and Premier Bancshares, Inc. on June 16, 2017, First Guaranty purchased credit deteriorated loans for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since their origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of those loans is as follows at December 31, 2022.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Guaranty will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due are considered in evaluating loan impairment. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to impairment testing. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. First Guaranty's goodwill is the difference in purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired from its acquisition of Homestead Bancorp in 2007, Premier Bancshares, Inc. in 2017 and Union Bancshares, Incorporated in 2019. Goodwill totaled $12.9 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. No impairment charges have been recognized on First Guaranty's intangible assets since acquisition. Loan servicing assets totaled $0.6 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Other intangible assets recorded include core deposit intangibles, which are subject to amortization. The weighted-average amortization period remaining for First Guaranty's core deposit intangibles is 5.8 years at June 30, 2023. The core deposits intangible reflect the value of deposit relationships, including the beneficial rates, which arose from acquisitions.

Note 7. Other Real Estate (ORE)

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-balance sheet commitments

First Guaranty is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, collateral or other security is not required to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Below is a summary of the notional amounts of the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Contract Amount

(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	339,966	$	246,968
Unfunded Commitments under lines of credit	$	238,013	$	253,906
Commercial and Standby letters of credit	$	14,219	$	14,222

Allowance For Credit Losses - Off- Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures

The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The ACL on off-balance-sheet credit exposures total $2.9 million at January 1, 2023 upon the adoption of ASC 326, and $3.0 million at June 30, 2023 and is included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

First Guaranty is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. First Guaranty assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings. Where it is probable that First Guaranty will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, First Guaranty records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. First Guaranty does not record a loss if the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable. First Guaranty Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit alleging fault for a loss of funds by a customer related to fraud by a third party with a possible loss range of $0.0 million to $1.5 million. The Bank denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, which is in early stages and no trial date has been set. No accrued liability has been recorded related to this lawsuit. First Guaranty settled a case in the third quarter of 2021 for $1.1 million. A receivable for $0.9 million has been recorded for recovery by a claim against First Guaranty's insurer. In the opinion of management, neither First Guaranty nor First Guaranty Bank is currently involved in such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on First Guaranty’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against First Guaranty or First Guaranty Bank could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect the reputation of First Guaranty and First Guaranty Bank, even if resolved favorably.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. First Guaranty uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale. Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 in First Guaranty's portfolio as of June 30, 2023 includes corporate debt and municipal securities.

Impaired loans. Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2 or Level 3), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property's market; thus, OREO measured at fair value would be classified within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value: 

(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Available for Sale Securities Fair Value Measurements Using:
Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets	$	49,017	$	98,466
Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs	20,736		21,890
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs	10,400		11,102
Securities available for sale measured at fair value	$	80,153	$	131,458

First Guaranty's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

The change in Level 1 securities available for sale from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was due to a net decrease in Treasury bills of $49.4 million. There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 securities available for sale from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

ASC 825-10 provides First Guaranty with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits First Guaranty to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

First Guaranty has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Note 10. Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are generally subjective in nature and are dependent upon a number of significant assumptions associated with each instrument or group of similar instruments, including estimates of discount rates, risks associated with specific financial instruments, estimates of future cash flows and relevant available market information. Fair value information is intended to represent an estimate of an amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. However, since there are no established trading markets for a significant portion of First Guaranty's financial instruments, First Guaranty may not be able to immediately settle financial instruments; as such, the fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized through immediate settlement. In addition, the majority of the financial instruments, such as loans and deposits, are held to maturity and are realized or paid according to the contractual agreement with the customer.

Quoted market prices are used to estimate fair values when available. However, due to the nature of the financial instruments, in many instances quoted market prices are not available. Accordingly, estimated fair values have been estimated based on other valuation techniques, such as discounting estimated future cash flows using a rate commensurate with the risks involved or other acceptable methods. Fair values are estimated without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of financial instruments, possible income tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. The fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Fair values are also estimated at a specific point in time and are based on interest rates and other assumptions at that date. As events change the assumptions underlying these estimates, the fair values of financial instruments will change.

Disclosure of fair values is not required for certain items such as lease financing, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, obligations of pension and other postretirement benefits, premises and equipment, other real estate, prepaid expenses, the value of long-term relationships with depositors (core deposit intangibles) and other customer relationships, other intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are presented for existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses have not been considered in the estimates. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent and should not be considered representative of the underlying market or franchise value of First Guaranty.

Because the standard permits many alternative calculation techniques and because numerous assumptions have been used to estimate the fair values, reasonable comparison of the fair value information with other financial institutions' fair value information cannot necessarily be made. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and federal funds purchased.

These items are generally short-term and the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets are a reasonable estimation of the fair values.

Investment Securities.

Fair values are principally based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or the use of discounted cash flow analyses.

Loans Held for Sale.

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. These loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans, net.

Market values are computed present values using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. These loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired loans.

Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2 or Level 3), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Cash Surrender of BOLI.

The cash surrender value of BOLI approximates fair value.

Accrued interest receivable.

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

-28-

Deposits.

The fair value of customer deposits, excluding certificates of deposit, is the amount payable on demand. Market values of certificates of deposit are actually computed present values using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. Deposits are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 Accrued interest payable.

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Borrowings.

The carrying amount of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair value of First Guaranty's long-term borrowings is computed using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. Borrowings are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Unrecognized Financial Instruments.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar legally binding agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and customers' credit ratings. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit are based on fees charged for similar agreements or on estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was not material.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at June 30, 2023 were as follows:

Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Financial Overview

First Guaranty Bancshares is a Louisiana corporation and a financial holding company headquartered in Hammond, Louisiana. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, First Guaranty Bank, a Louisiana-chartered commercial bank, provides personalized commercial banking services primarily to Louisiana and Texas customers through 36 banking facilities primarily located in the MSAs of Hammond, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport-Bossier City, Lake Charles and Alexandria, Louisiana and Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Waco, Texas.

The Vanceburg location is now a branch of the bank. We emphasize personal relationships and localized decision making to ensure that products and services are matched to customer needs. We compete for business principally on the basis of personal service to customers, customer access to officers and directors and competitive interest rates and fees.

Financial highlights for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 are as follows:

•Total assets increased $84.7 million to $3.2 billion, or 2.7% at June 30, 2023 when compared with December 31, 2022. Total loans at June 30, 2023 were $2.6 billion, an increase of $71.6 million, or 2.8%, compared with December 31, 2022. Total deposits were $2.8 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $43.6 million, or 1.6%, compared with December 31, 2022. Retained earnings were $69.9 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $6.5 million compared to $76.4 million at December 31, 2022. Shareholders' equity was $238.9 million and $235.0 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

•Net income for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022 was $2.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $5.4 million or 67.1%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $6.1 million and $15.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $9.6 million or 60.9%.

•Earnings per common share were $0.19 and $0.70 for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.46 and $1.36 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Total weighted average shares outstanding were 10,913,029 and 10,716,796 for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 10,815,454 and 10,716,796 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in shares was due to the issuance of 714,287 shares of stock in a private placement in May of 2023.

•First Guaranty participated in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The CARES Act authorized the SBA to guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program known as the PPP. As a qualified SBA lender, we were automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. The SBA guaranteed 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers and will forgive such loans. The program has been conducted in two phases which First Guaranty classifies as Round 1 loans (originated in 2020) and Round 2 loans (originated in 2021). As of June 30, 2023, First Guaranty had remaining Round 1 PPP loans of $2.0 million and Round 2 PPP loans of $3.3 million. $11,000 in PPP fees were recognized in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. $16,000 in PPP fees were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•The allowance for credit losses was 1.23% of total loans at June 30, 2023 compared to 0.93% at December 31, 2022. First Guaranty had $5.4 million at June 30, 2023 of SBA guaranteed PPP loans that have no related allowance due to the 100% government guarantee in accordance with regulatory guidance.

•Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 was $20.9 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period in 2022. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $43.2 million compared to $51.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.5 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2022. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.9 million compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•First Guaranty had $1.3 million of other real estate owned as of June 30, 2023 compared to $0.1 million at December 31, 2022.

•Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2023 was $2.8 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2022. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5.5 million compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 2.74% which was a decrease of 98 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.72% for the same period in 2022. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 2.86% which was a decrease of 80 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.66% for the same period in 2022. First Guaranty attributed the decrease in the net interest margin to the increase in market interest rates that began in 2022 and continued through the second quarter of 2023 that increased the cost of liabilities. Loans as a percentage of average interest earning assets increased to 83.6% at June 30, 2023 compared to 77.8% at June 30, 2022.

•Investment securities totaled $400.7 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $50.9 million when compared to $451.5 million at December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, available for sale securities, at fair value, totaled $80.2 million, a decrease of $51.3 million when compared to $131.5 million at December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, held to maturity securities, at amortized cost and net of the allowance for credit losses totaled $320.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million when compared to $320.1 million at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses for HTM securities was $0.1 million at June 30, 2023.

•Total loans net of unearned income were $2.6 billion at June 30, 2023, a net increase of $71.6 million from December 31, 2022. Total loans net of unearned income are reduced by the allowance for credit losses which totaled $31.9 million at June 30, 2023 and $23.5 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. First Guaranty adopted ASC 326 effective January 1, 2023 and recorded a cumulative adoption adjustment to the allowance of $8.1 million.

-32-

•Nonaccrual loans increased $10.3 million to $23.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $13.6 million at December 31, 2022.

•First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." (CECL) effective January 1, 2023. The total adjustment for CECL was $10.0 million which includes $7.0 million for the ACL, $0.1 million for HTM securities, and $2.9 million for unfunded loan commitments. The $2.9 million for unfunded loan commitments is recorded in other liabilities.

•Return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 0.34% and 1.11%, respectively. Return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 0.39% and 1.08%, respectively. Return on average common equity for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 4.19% and 15.73%, respectively. Return on average common equity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 4.99% and 15.37%, respectively. Return on average assets is calculated by dividing annualized net income by average assets. Return on average common equity is calculated by dividing annualized net income by average common equity.

•Book value per common share was $18.00 as of June 30, 2023 compared to $18.84 as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in retained earnings associated with the adoption of CECL, the recent issuances of new shares, and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). AOCI is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, including unrealized losses on available for sale securities at the time of transfer to held to maturity.

•First Guaranty's Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.16 per common share in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022. First Guaranty has paid 120 consecutive quarterly dividends as of June 30, 2023.

•First Guaranty paid preferred stock dividends of $1.2 million during the first six months of 2023 and 2022.

•First Guaranty was a defendant in a lawsuit alleging overpayment on a loan related to a disputed interest rate. First Guaranty settled this lawsuit in February of 2023 for $0.6 million.

Syndicated loans at June 30, 2023 were $76.1 million, of which $23.8 million were shared national credits. Syndicated loans decreased $12.2 million from $88.3 million at December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, 72.5% of our loan portfolio was secured by real estate. The largest portion of our loan portfolio, at 39.5% as of June 30, 2023, was non-farm non-residential loans secured by real estate. Approximately 42.8% of the loan portfolio was based on a floating rate tied to the prime rate, Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or LIBOR as of June 30, 2023. 59.1% of the loan portfolio is scheduled to mature within five years from June 30, 2023. First Guaranty initiated a process to transfer any LIBOR indexed loans to alternative reference rates such as the prime rate or SOFR as LIBOR was discontinued for repricings after June 30, 2023.

Special mention loans increased $16.5 million to $46.8 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $30.3 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in special mention loans was primarily the result of the downgrade of one commercial lease loan relationship from pass status to special mention totaling $14.4 million.

Substandard loans increased $45.2 million to $87.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $42.7 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in substandard loans was primarily the result of the downgrade of one real estate secured loan relationship in the second quarter of 2023 with an aggregate principal balance of $35.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The loans are secured by shopping centers. While the loans are over collateralized based upon recent appraisals totaling $47.4 million, there is no certainty that the Bank will receive full repayment upon liquidation should that become necessary.

Net loans are reduced by the allowance for credit losses which totaled $31.9 million at June 30, 2023 and $23.5 million at December 31, 2022. First Guaranty adopted ASC 326 effective January 1, 2023 and recorded a cumulative adjustment to the allowance of $7.0 million. Loan charge-offs were $1.5 million during the first six months of 2023 and $3.3 million during the same period in 2022. Recoveries totaled $1.0 million during the first six months of 2023 and $1.4 million during the same period in 2022. The provision for credit losses totaled $0.9 million for the first six months of 2023 and $1.4 million for the same period in 2022. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and Note 5 for more information on the allowance for credit losses.

Investment Securities

Investment securities at June 30, 2023 totaled $400.7 million, a decrease of $50.9 million compared to $451.5 million at December 31, 2022. The portfolio consists of both available for sale (AFS) and held to maturity securities (HTM). The securities designated as held to maturity are agency and corporate debt securities that are part of First Guaranty’s investment strategy and public funds collateralization program. We purchase securities for our investment portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, to provide an appropriate return on funds invested, to manage interest rate risk and meet pledging requirements for public funds and borrowings.

The securities portfolio consisted principally of U.S. Government and Government agency securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds. U.S. government agencies consist of FHLB, Federal Farm Credit Bank ("FFCB"), Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae obligations. Mortgage-backed securities that we purchase are issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Management monitors the securities portfolio for both credit and interest rate risk. We generally limit the purchase of corporate securities to individual issuers to manage concentration and credit risk. Corporate securities generally have a maturity of 10 years or less. U.S. Government securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities that have maturities of less than two years. Government agency securities generally have maturities of 15 years or less. Agency mortgage-backed securities have stated final maturities of 15 to 20 years.

Our available for sale securities portfolio totaled $80.2 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $51.3 million, or 39.0%, compared to $131.5 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the maturity of U.S. Treasury securities.

Our held to maturity securities portfolio totaled $320.5 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.1%, compared to $320.1 million at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, $49.9 million, or 12.5%, of the securities portfolio was scheduled to mature in less than one year. The majority of these securities were U.S. Treasury securities. $4.2 million, or 1.1%, of the securities portfolio, not including collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities, were scheduled to mature between one and five years. The majority of these securities were corporate bonds. $134.6 million, or 33.6%, of the securities portfolio, not including collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities, were scheduled to mature between five and ten years. Securities, not including collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities, with contractual maturity dates over 10 years totaled $209.6 million, or 52.3%, of the total securities portfolio at June 30, 2023. The average maturity of the securities portfolio is affected by call options that may be exercised by the issuer of the securities and are influenced by market interest rates. Prepayments of mortgages that collateralize mortgage-backed securities also affect the maturity of the securities portfolio. Based on internal forecasts as of June 30, 2023, management believes that the securities portfolio has a forecasted weighted average life of approximately 10.70 years based on the current interest rate environment. The portfolio had an estimated effective duration of 8.49 years at June 30, 2023.

There were no credit related impairment of available for sale securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023. An allowance for credit losses of $0.1 million for held to maturity securities was recorded upon the adoption of ASC 326.

Nonperforming Assets

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and other real-estate owned. Non-performing loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans which are contractually 90 days past due on which interest continues to accrue. Loans are ordinarily placed on nonaccrual status when principal and interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. However, management may elect to continue the accrual when the asset is well secured and in the process of collection. It is our policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan for which we have reasonable doubt as to the payment of interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the payment of principal or interest and a reasonable payment performance period is observed (generally considered six months or longer). Other real estate owned consists of property acquired through formal foreclosure, in-substance foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

At June 30, 2023, nonperforming assets totaled $25.7 million, or 0.79% of total assets, compared to $14.8 million, or 0.47%, of total assets at December 31, 2022, which represented an increase of $10.9 million, or 73.5%. The increase in non-performing assets occurred primarily due to an increase in nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned offset by a decrease in loans 90 days and greater delinquent and still accruing. Non-performing loans included loans previously classified as purchase credit deteriorated following the adoption of CECL.

Nonaccrual loans increased from $13.6 million at December 31, 2022 to $23.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increase in nonaccrual loans was concentrated primarily in non-farm non-residential, one-to four family, and commercial and industrial loans. Nonaccrual loans included $2.5 million in loans with a government guarantee. These are structured as net loss guarantees in which up to 90% of loss exposure is covered.

At June 30, 2023, loans 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing totaled $0.5 million, a decrease of $0.6 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in loans 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing was concentrated primarily in construction and land development, multifamily, non-farm non-residential, and commercial and industrial loans.

Other real estate owned at June 30, 2023 totaled $1.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to $0.1 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the addition of a $0.8 million non-farm non-residential property during the first quarter of 2023. This property was related to a loan that was on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, our largest non-performing assets were comprised of the following nonaccrual loans and 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing loans: (1) a non-farm non-residential loan that totaled $5.0 million; (2) a $2.2 million loan relationship that is classified as purchased credit deteriorated (3) a commercial lease loan that totaled $1.8 million; and (4) a non-farm non-residential loan secured by a mobile home facility that totaled $1.3 million.

Allowance for Credit Losses

First Guaranty adopted FASB ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” Update No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. ASU 2016-13, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) standard, requires financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses, which reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial asset. Unfunded lending commitments are also within the scope of this topic. Under prior GAAP losses were not recognized until the occurrence of the loss was probable. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements for more information on the adoption of ASC 326.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is maintained to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, offset by recoveries of previously charged-off loans and is decreased by loan charge-offs. The provision is a charge to current expense to provide for current expected loan losses and to maintain the allowance commensurate with management's evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Various factors are taken into consideration when determining the amount of the provision and the adequacy of the allowance. These factors include but are not limited to:

•past due and non-performing assets;

•specific internal analysis of loans requiring special attention;

•the current level of regulatory classified and criticized assets and the associated risk factors with each;

•changes in underwriting standards or lending procedures and policies;

•charge-off and recovery practices;

•national and local economic and business conditions;

•nature and volume of loans;

•overall portfolio quality;

•adequacy of loan collateral;

•quality of loan review system and degree of oversight by our board of directors;

•competition and legal and regulatory requirements on borrowers;

•examinations of the loan portfolio by federal and state regulatory agencies and examinations; and

•review by our internal loan review department and independent accountants.

The data collected from all sources in determining the adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis by management with regard to current national and local economic trends, prior loss history, underlying collateral values, credit concentrations and industry risks. An estimate of potential loss on

-37-

specific loans is developed in conjunction with an overall risk evaluation of the total loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available. 

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or collateral dependent. For such loans that are also classified as collateral dependent, an allowance is established when the collateral value is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and special mention loans and is based on historical loss experience for the past three years adjusted for qualitative factors described above. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the estimate of probable losses.

The balance in the allowance for credit losses is principally influenced by the provision for loan losses, recoveries, and by net loan loss experience. Additions to the allowance are charged to the provision for credit losses. Losses are charged to the allowance as incurred and recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time recovery is collected.

The allowance for credit losses on loans was $31.9 million, or 1.23% of total loans, and 130.4% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2023.

Comparing June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2022, there were changes within the specific components of the allowance balance.

A provision for credit losses of $0.9 million was made during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $1.4 million for the same period in 2022. The $0.9 million provision included a $0.1 million provision for credit losses related to unfunded commitments. The provisions made were taken to provide for current credit losses and to maintain the allowance proportionate to risks inherent in the loan portfolio.

-38-

The loan portfolio factors in the first six months of 2023 that primarily affected the allocation of the allowance included the following:

•The adoption of the CECL methodology under ASU 2016-13 was the largest contributor to changes in both the size and allocation of the allowance for credit losses. First Guaranty also made adjustments of certain qualitative factors to take into account the current estimated impact of COVID-19, changes in other market conditions, loan concentrations including those related to commercial real estate and loan relationships and related economic conditions on borrowers' ability to repay loans and for allocations to impaired loans within their respective categories.

•Construction and land development loans increased during the first six months of 2023 due to advances on existing construction lines of credit and new loan originations. The allowance increase related to this portfolio was due to growth in the portfolio along with changes in the qualitative analysis of the portfolio related to economic conditions.

•One-to four-family residential loans increased $39.8 million during the first six months of 2023. The allowance increase related to this portfolio was due to changes in the qualitative analysis of the portfolio, portfolio growth, and also the adoption of CECL.

•Multifamily loans increased slightly during the first six months of 2023. The allowance related to this portfolio was increased due to the adoption of the CECL methodology and due to the growth in the portfolio which increased by $1.6 million during the first six months of 2023.

•Non-farm non-residential loans increased by $32.1 million during the first six months of 2023. The allowance increase related to this portfolio was due primarily to growth in the portfolio and also to the adoption of CECL.

•Commercial and industrial loans decreased during the first six months of 2023. The allowance increase related to this portfolio was due to the adoption of the CECL methodology.

•Commercial leases decreased during the first six months of 2023 from $317.6 million at December 31, 2022 to $282.2 million at June 30, 2023. The allowance decrease related to this portfolio was due to the reduction in this portfolio and due to changes in the qualitative analysis of the portfolio related.

•Consumer and other loans decreased slightly during the first six months of 2023. The decrease in the related loan loss allowance balance was due primarily to qualitative analysis and the adoption of the CECL methodology.

First Guaranty charged off $1.5 million in loan balances during the first six months of 2023. The details of the $1.5 million in charged-off loans were as follows:

1.First Guaranty charged off $0.3 million in consumer loans related to Hurricane Ida relief loans during the first six months of 2023. These loans were originated in the fall of 2021 following Hurricane Ida that impacted Louisiana in August 2021.

2.First Guaranty charged off $0.1 million on a non-farm non-residential loan during the first quarter of 2023. This loan had no remaining principal balance at June 30, 2023. The $0.7 million property related to this loan was moved to other real estate owned during the first quarter of 2023.

3.Smaller loans and overdrawn deposit accounts comprised the remaining $1.1 million of charge-offs for the first six months of 2023.

Deposits

Managing the mix and pricing the maturities of deposit liabilities is an important factor affecting our ability to maximize our net interest margin. The strategies used to manage interest-bearing deposit liabilities are designed to adjust as the interest rate environment changes. We regularly assess our funding needs, deposit pricing and interest rate outlooks. From December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023, total deposits increased $43.6 million, or 1.6%, to $2.8 billion. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $58.2 million, or 11.1%, to $466.2 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was primarily concentrated in individual and business noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $11.8 million, or 0.8%, to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily concentrated in public funds interest-bearing demand deposits that was partially offset by an increase in brokered interest-bearing demand deposits. Savings deposits increased $16.5 million, or 8.0%, to $222.3 million at June 30, 2023, primarily related to increases in business and individual savings deposits. Time deposits increased $97.1 million, or 18.2%, to $630.5 million at June 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in consumer and public fund time deposits along with increased brokered time deposits of approximately $20.0 million.

Management will continue to evaluate and update our product mix and related technology in its efforts to attract additional customers. We currently offer a number of deposit products that are competitively priced and designed to attract and retain customers with primary emphasis on noninterest-bearing deposits and other lower cost deposits.

As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of outstanding certificates of deposit in amounts greater than $250,000 was approximately $159.2 million. At June 30, 2023, approximately $23.1 million of First Guaranty's certificates of deposit greater than $250,000 had a remaining term greater than one year.

The total amount of our uninsured deposits (deposits in excess of $250,000, as calculated in accordance with FDIC regulations) was estimated at $285.9 million at June 30, 2023. This total excludes public funds deposits that are collateralized by securities or FHLB letters of credit. The amount of uninsured deposits including collateralized public funds deposits was estimated at $818.1 million at June 30, 2023.

Public funds deposits totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Public funds time deposits totaled $52.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2022. Public funds deposits decreased due to decreased demand deposits that were primarily attributed to seasonal fluctuations. First Guaranty has developed a program for the retention and management of public funds deposits. Since the end of 2012, First Guaranty has maintained public funds deposits in excess of $400.0 million. These deposits are from public entities such as school districts, hospital districts, sheriff departments and municipalities. The majority of these funds are under fiscal agency agreements with terms of three years or less. Deposits under fiscal agency agreements are generally stable but public entities may maintain the ability to negotiate term deposits on a specific basis including with other financial institutions. These deposits generally have stable balances as we maintain both operating accounts and time deposits for these entities. There is a seasonal component to public deposit levels associated with annual tax collections. Public funds will increase at the end of the year and during the first quarter. In addition to seasonal fluctuations, there are monthly fluctuations associated with internal payroll and short-term tax collection accounts for our public funds deposit accounts. Public funds deposit accounts are collateralized by FHLB letters of credit, by expanded reciprocal deposit insurance programs, by Louisiana municipal bonds and by eligible government and government agency securities such as those issued by the FHLB, FFCB, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. First Guaranty continues to grow the proportion of its public funds portfolio that is collateralized by reciprocal deposit insurance as an alternative to pledging securities or utilizing FHLB letters of credit. First Guaranty initiated this strategy to more efficiently invest these deposits in higher yielding loans to improve the net interest margin and earnings. Total public funds collateralized by reciprocal deposit insurance programs decreased to $531.3 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $576.3 million at December 31, 2022.

Borrowings

First Guaranty maintains borrowing relationships with other financial institutions as well as the Federal Home Loan Bank on a short and long-term basis to meet liquidity needs. First Guaranty had $57.4 million in short-term borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2023 compared to $146.4 million at December 31, 2022. The short-term borrowings at June 30, 2023 were comprised of short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $30.0 million, a line of credit of $20.0 million, with an outstanding balance of $20.0 million and repurchase agreements of $7.4 million. The short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2022 were comprised of short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $120.0 million, a line of credit of $20.0 million with an outstanding balance of $20.0 million and repurchase agreements of $6.4 million. First Guaranty had available lines of credit of $26.5 million, with $20.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2023. A net availability of $6.5 million remained.

First Guaranty had long-term borrowings from the FHLB that totaled $120.0 million at June 30, 2023. First Guaranty converted previous short-term floating rate borrowings from the FHLB into long-term lower fixed rate borrowings in order to reduce interest expense. First Guaranty has a $100.0 million FHLB advance that matures in the second quarter of 2027 and $20.0 million FHLB advance that matures in the first quarter of 2025.

First Guaranty had senior long-term debt totaling $20.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and $21.9 million at December 31, 2022.

First Guaranty had subordinated debt totaling $15.0 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

First Guaranty had $492.1 million in Federal Home Loan Bank letters of credit as of June 30, 2023 compared to $388.6 million at December 31, 2022. Federal Home Loan Bank letters of credit are obtained primarily for collateralizing public deposits.

Total Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity increased to $238.9 million at June 30, 2023 from $235.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders' equity was principally the result of an increase of $9.3 million in surplus and a decrease of $0.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by a decrease of $6.5 million in retained earnings. The $9.3 million increase in surplus was due to common stock issued in a private placement in May 2023. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to the decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $6.5 million decrease in retained earnings was primarily due to the adoption of CECL which had a $7.9 million after tax reduction to retained earnings, $3.5 million in cash dividends paid on shares of our common stock and $0.6 million in cash dividends paid on shares of our preferred stock, partially offset by net income of $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Performance Summary

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 67.1%, from $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was the result of several factors. First Guaranty experienced an increase in interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in noninterest income. This increased income was offset by an increase in interest expense and an increase in noninterest expense. Loan interest income increased due to the growth in First Guaranty's loan portfolio, repricing of existing loans to higher market rates, including loan fees recognized as an adjustment to yield. Securities interest income increased due to an increase in the average yield of the investment portfolio. The decrease in the provision was related to changes within the portfolio. Noninterest income increased primarily due to salary tax credits related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors that offset the increase in net income included an increase in interest expense due to increases in volume and market interest rates. Noninterest expense increased primarily due to increased regulatory assessment, legal and professional fees, and software expense. Earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.19 per common share, a decrease of 72.9% or $0.51 per common share from $0.70 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $6.1 million, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 60.9%, from $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was the result of several factors. First Guaranty experienced an increase in interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in noninterest income. This increased income was offset by an increase in interest expense and an increase in noninterest expense. Loan interest income increased due to the growth in First Guaranty's loan portfolio and repricing of existing loans to higher market rates, including loan fees recognized as an adjustment to yield. Securities interest income increased due to an increase in the average yield of the investment portfolio. The decrease in the provision was related to changes within the portfolio. Noninterest income increased primarily due to salary tax credits related to the COVID-19 pandemic, valuation changes related to the loan servicing assets and recoveries of prior legal fees. Factors that offset the increase in net income included an increase in interest expense due to increases in volume and market interest rates. Noninterest expense increased primarily due to increased personnel expenses, legal and professional fees, software expense, regulatory assessment, and data processing expenses. Earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.46 per common share, a decrease of 66.2% or $0.90 per common share from $1.36 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, including loans and securities, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. First Guaranty’s assets and liabilities are generally most affected by changes in the Federal Funds rate, LIBOR rate, SOFR rate, short term Treasury rates such as one month and three month Treasury bills, and longer term Treasury rates such as the U.S. ten year Treasury rate. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. There may also be a time lag in the effect of interest rate changes on assets and liabilities. It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds.

A financial institution's asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of a non-financial company, in that virtually all assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Accordingly, changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on a financial institution's performance. The impact of interest rate changes depends on the sensitivity to the change of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The effects of the changing interest rate environment in recent periods and our interest sensitivity position is discussed below.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $20.9 million and $26.3 million, respectively. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in the average rate of our total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of our total interest-earning assets and an increase in the average yield of our total interest-earning assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $283.2 million to $2.4 billion primarily due to growth in interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. The average rate of our total interest-bearing liabilities increased by 261 basis points to 3.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 1.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The rise in market interest rates, particularly associated with Treasury rates, contributed to the increase in our liabilities cost. The primary source of the increase in liabilities cost was associated with interest bearing demand deposits for public funds that are primarily indexed to Treasury rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the average balance of our total interest-earning assets increased by $232.0 million to $3.1 billion due to strong growth in our loan portfolio. The average yield of our interest-earning assets increased by 113 basis points to 5.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 4.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to an improved mix of higher yielding assets. As a result, our net interest rate spread decreased 148 basis points to 1.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our net interest margin decreased 98 basis points to 2.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.72% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $43.2 million and $51.3 million, respectively. The decrease in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in the average rate of our total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of our total interest-earning assets and an increase in the average yield of our total interest-earning assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $253.1 million to $2.4 billion due to growth in interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. The average rate of our total interest-bearing liabilities increased by 242 basis points to 3.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 1.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The rise in market interest rates, particularly associated with Treasury rates, contributed to the increase in our liabilities cost. The primary source of the increase in liabilities cost was associated with interest bearing demand deposits for public funds that are primarily indexed to Treasury rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average balance of our total interest-earning assets increased by $219.9 million to $3.0 billion due to strong growth in our loan portfolio. The average yield of our interest-earning assets increased by 114 basis points to 5.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 4.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to an improved mix of higher yielding assets. As a result, our net interest rate spread decreased 128 basis points to 2.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Our net interest margin decreased 80 basis points to 2.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Income

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income increased $11.2 million, or 34.5%, to $43.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. First Guaranty's loan portfolio expanded during the second quarter of 2023 due to growth associated with our loan originations and existing loans repriced to higher market rates. These factors contributed to the increase in interest income as the average balance of our total interest-earning assets, primarily associated with loans, increased, and the average yield of interest-earning assets increased. The average balance of our interest-earning assets increased $232.0 million to $3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year. The average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 113 basis points to 5.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 4.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest income on securities increased $0.1 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of an increase in average yield of securities. The average yield on securities increased 37 basis points to 2.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the decrease in lower yielding Treasury securities that matured in the second quarter of 2023. The average balance of securities decreased $47.5 million to $407.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $455.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of our U.S. Treasuries securities portfolio compared to the prior year.

Interest income on loans increased $10.3 million or 34.3%, to $40.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in the average balance and average yield of loans. The average balance of loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased by $323.9 million to $2.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of new loan originations. The average yield on loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased by 93 basis points to 6.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 5.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to the improved mix of loans along with an increase in market interest rates.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income increased $22.0 million, or 35.0%, to $85.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. First Guaranty's loan portfolio expanded during the first six months of 2023 due to growth associated with our loan originations and existing loans repricing to higher market rates. These factors contributed to the increase in interest income as the average balance of our total interest-earning assets, primarily associated with loans, increased, and the average yield of interest-earning assets increased. The average balance of our interest-earning assets increased $219.9 million to $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year. The average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 114 basis points to 5.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 4.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest income on securities increased $0.2 million to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of an increase in average yield of securities. The average yield on securities increased 23 basis points to 2.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 2.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the decrease in lower yielding Treasury securities that matured in the first six months of 2023. The average balance of securities decreased $27.8 million to $417.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $444.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of our U.S. Treasuries securities portfolio compared to the prior year.

Interest income on loans increased $20.4 million, or 35.2%, to $78.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in the average balance and average yield of loans. The average balance of loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased by $349.0 million to $2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of new loan originations. The average yield on loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased by 89 basis points to 6.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 5.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to the improved mix of loans along with an increase in market interest rates.

Interest Expense

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense increased $16.6 million, or 267.1%, to $22.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due primarily to an increase in market interest rates and due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average rate of interest-bearing demand deposits was 4.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 0.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in market interest rates, particularly U.S. Treasury rates, contributed to the increase in rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits. The largest concentration of interest-bearing demand deposits is associated with public funds deposits that are primarily indexed to Treasury rates. Treasury rates increased as the Federal Reserve increased rates to address increased inflation in the U.S. economy. The average rate of time deposits increased 146 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 3.32% as compared to the prior year period. The increase in the average rate of time deposits was due to changes in market rates. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $283.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.4 billion as compared to the prior year period. This increase was a result of a $130.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits, a $2.8 million increase in the average balance of savings deposits, a $82.6 million increase in the average balance of time deposits, and an $67.4 million increase in the average balance of borrowings.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest expense increased $30.1 million, or 256.9%, to $41.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due primarily to an increase in market interest rates and due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average rate of interest-bearing demand deposits was 3.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 0.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in market interest rates, particularly U.S. Treasury rates, contributed to the increase in rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits. The largest concentration of interest-bearing demand deposits is associated with public funds deposits that are primarily indexed to Treasury rates. Treasury rates increased as the Federal Reserve increased rates to address increased inflation in the U.S. economy. The average rate of time deposits increased 107 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 2.97% as compared to the prior year period. The increase in the average rate of time deposits was due to changes in market rates. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $253.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.4 billion as compared to the prior year period. This increase was a result of a $147.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits, a $1.5 million increase in the average balance of savings deposits, a $34.0 million increase in the average balance of time deposits, and a $70.2 million increase in the average balance of borrowings.

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

The net interest income yield shown below in the average balance sheet is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets and is a measure of the efficiency of the earnings from balance sheet activities. It is affected by changes in the difference between interest on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the percentage of interest-earning assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Credit and Loan Losses

A provision for credit and loan losses is a charge to income in an amount that management believes is necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses. The provision is based on management's regular evaluation of current economic conditions in our specific markets as well as regionally and nationally, changes in the character and size of the loan portfolio, underlying collateral values securing loans, and other factors which deserve recognition in estimating loan losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for loan losses was $0.5 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in the provision was attributable to the evaluation of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2023. Total charge-offs were $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $2.4 million for the same period in 2022. Partially offsetting these charge-offs were recoveries that totaled $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $1.1 million for the same period in 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for loan losses was $0.9 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2022. Total charge-offs were $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $3.3 million for the same period in 2022. Charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were concentrated in consumer relief loans associated with Hurricane Ida and a non-farm non-residential loan. Hurricane Ida consumer relief loans charge-offs totaled $0.3 million during the first six months of 2023. Partially offsetting these charge-offs were recoveries that totaled $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $1.4 million for the same period in 2022.

We believe that the allowance is adequate to cover current expected losses in the loan portfolio given the current economic conditions, and current expected net charge-offs and non-performing asset levels. Economic uncertainty may result in additional increases to the allowance for credit losses in future periods.

Noninterest Income

Our primary sources of recurring noninterest income are customer service fees, ATM and debit card fees, loan fees, gains on the sales of loans and available for sale securities and other service fees. Noninterest income does not include loan origination fees which are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.

Noninterest income totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.3 million from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to salary tax credits related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Service charges, commissions and fees totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. ATM and debit card fees totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2022. Net securities losses were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Net gains on the sale of loans were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $90,000 for the same period in 2022. Other noninterest income totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2022.

Noninterest income totaled $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.0 million from $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to salary tax credits related to the COVID-19 pandemic, recoveries of prior legal fees and due to an improved valuation of loan servicing assets in the first six months of 2023 compared to the valuation of the loan servicing asset in the same period of 2022. Service charges, commissions and fees totaled $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. ATM and debit card fees totaled $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Net securities losses were $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and compared to $17,000 for the same period in 2022. Net gains on the sale of loans were $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $89,000 for the same period in 2022. Other noninterest income totaled $2.2 million for the 2,248 months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2022.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense and other types of expenses. Noninterest expense totaled $19.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Salaries and benefits expense totaled $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in personnel expense from new hires. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $2.3 million for the same period in 2022. Other noninterest expense totaled $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $6.5 million for the same period in 2022.

Noninterest expense totaled $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Salaries and benefits expense totaled $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in personnel expense from new hires. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $4.5 million for the same period in 2022. Other noninterest expense totaled $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $12.1 million for the same period in 2022. Legal and professional fees were higher due to the settlement of a lawsuit and the settlement payment made to the SEC for the Employee Stock Grant Program.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of other noninterest expense:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022

Total other noninterest expense	$	7,584	$	6,482	$	15,544	$	12,052

Income Taxes

The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income and the amount of other non-deductible expenses and the statutory tax rate. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes decreased due to a decrease in income before income taxes. First Guaranty's statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes decreased due to a decrease in income before income taxes. First Guaranty's statutory tax rate was 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the ability or flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows us to have sufficient funds available to meet customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. Liquid assets include cash and due from banks, interest-earning demand deposits with banks, federal funds sold and available for sale investment securities.

First Guaranty's cash and cash equivalents totaled $146.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $83.2 million at December 31, 2022. Loans maturing within one year or less at June 30, 2023 totaled $353.0 million. At June 30, 2023, time deposits maturing within one year or less totaled $490.6 million compared to $312.9 million at December 31, 2022. Time deposits maturing after one year through three years totaled $113.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $183.0 million at December 31, 2022. Time deposits maturing after three years totaled $25.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $37.4 million at December 31, 2022. First Guaranty's held to maturity ("HTM") securities portfolio at June 30, 2023 was $320.5 million, or 80.0% of the investment portfolio, compared to $320.1 million, or 70.9% at December 31, 2022. First Guaranty's available for sale ("AFS") securities portfolio was $80.2 million, or 20.0% of the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2023 compared to $131.5 million, or 29.1% of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2022. The majority of the AFS portfolio was comprised of U.S. Government Treasuries, municipal bonds and subordinated debt securities.

First Guaranty maintained a net borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $316.1 million and $369.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively with $150.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2023 compared to $120.0 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. The advances outstanding at June 30, 2023 were comprised of short-term advances totaling $30.0 million along with long-term advances that totaled $120.0 million. The $20.0 million long-term FHLB advance matures in the first quarter of 2025 and the $100.0 million FHLB long-term advance matures in the second quarter of 2027. The advances outstanding at December 31, 2022 were comprised of short-term advances that totaled $120.0 million. The change in borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was due to changes in the value that First Guaranty receives on pledged collateral and due to First Guaranty's usage of the line. First Guaranty has increasingly transitioned public funds deposits into reciprocal deposit programs for collateralization as an alternative to FHLB letters of credit. We also maintain federal funds lines of credit at various correspondent banks with borrowing capacity of $100.5 million. First Guaranty has two revolving lines of credit totaling $26.5 million at the parent company level secured by a pledge of the Bank's common stock, with an outstanding balance of $20.0 million at June 30, 2023. We also have a discount window line with the Federal Reserve Bank that totaled $184.3 million at June 30, 2023 which was an increase of $155.3 million compared to availability of $29.0 million at December 31, 2022. First Guaranty did not have any advances under this facility at June 30, 2023. Management believes there is sufficient liquidity to satisfy current operating needs.

Capital Resources

First Guaranty's capital position is reflected in shareholders' equity, subject to certain adjustments for regulatory purposes. Further, our capital base allows us to take advantage of business opportunities while maintaining the level of resources we deem appropriate to address business risks inherent in daily operations.

Total shareholders' equity increased to $238.9 million at June 30, 2023 from $235.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders' equity was principally the result of an increase of $9.3 million in surplus and a decrease of $0.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in retained earnings, driven in large part by the one-time CECL adjustment. The $9.3 million increase in surplus was due to common stock issues in a private placement in May 2023. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to the decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $6.5 million decrease in retained earnings was due to an after tax CECL adjustment of $7.9 million, $3.5 million in cash dividends paid on shares of our common stock and $0.6 million in cash dividends paid on shares of our preferred stock, partially offset by net income of $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Regulatory Capital

Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the FDIC require banks to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Similar capital regulations apply to bank holding companies over $3.0 billion in assets. The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure "Tier 1" capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income) and total capital in relation to the credit risk of both on- and off- balance sheet items. Under the guidelines, one of its risk weights is applied to the different on-balance sheet items. Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk weighting. Applicable bank holding companies and all banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core or Tier 1 capital. These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

In order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank's capital conservation buffer was 3.18% exceeding the minimum of 2.50%.

As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the Federal Reserve Board has amended its small bank holding company and savings and loan holding company policy statement to provide that holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion that are (i) not engaged in significant nonbanking activities, (ii) do not conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, and (3) do not have a material amount of SEC-registered debt or equity securities, other than trust preferred securities, that contribute to an organization's complexity, are no longer subject to regulatory capital requirements, effective August 30, 2018. 

In addition, as a result of the legislation, the federal banking agencies have developed a "Community Bank Leverage Ratio" (the ratio of a bank's Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion.  A "qualifying community bank" that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered "well capitalized" under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution's risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies set the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 9%. Pursuant to the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies set the Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 8% beginning in the second quarter of 2020 through the end of 2020. Beginning in 2021, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio increased to 8.5% for the calendar year. Community banks will have until January 1, 2022, before the Community Bank Leverage Ratio requirement will return to 9%. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank did not elect to follow the Community Bank Leverage Ratio.

At June 30, 2023, we satisfied the minimum regulatory capital requirements and were well capitalized within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements. 

	"Well Capitalized Minimums"		As of June 30, 2023		As of December 31, 2022
Bank:
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio	5.00	%	9.29	%	9.35	%
Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio	8.00	%	10.22	%	10.31	%
Total Risk-based Capital Ratio	10.00	%	11.18	%	11.16	%
Common Equity Tier One Capital Ratio	6.50	%	10.22	%	10.31	%

Although we had over $3.0 billion in assets at June 30, 2023, under Federal Reserve guidance, First Guaranty will maintain its status as a "small bank holding company" until March 31, 2024 or earlier in certain circumstances. Once we are no longer a small bank holding company, both the Bank and First Guaranty will be required to maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

Our asset/liability management (ALM) process consists of quantifying, analyzing and controlling interest rate risk (IRR) to maintain reasonably stable net interest income levels under various interest rate environments. The principal objective of ALM is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and to maintain adequate levels of liquidity.

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of our most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk, which is inherent in our lending and deposit-taking activities. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans secured by real estate and fixed rate securities in our investment portfolio, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The board of directors of First Guaranty Bank has established two committees, the management asset liability committee and the board investment committee, to oversee the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors. The management asset liability committee is comprised of senior officers of the Bank and meets as needed to review our asset liability policies and interest rate risk position. The board ALCO investment committee is comprised of certain members of the board of directors of the Bank and meets monthly. The management asset liability committee provides a monthly report to the board ALCO investment committee.

The need for interest sensitivity gap management is most critical in times of rapid changes in overall interest rates. We generally seek to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by maintaining a relatively balanced mix of rate sensitive assets and liabilities on a one-year time horizon and greater than one-year time horizon. Because of the significant impact on net interest margin from mismatches in repricing opportunities, we monitor the asset-liability mix periodically depending upon the management asset liability committee's assessment of current business conditions and the interest rate outlook. We maintain exposure to interest rate fluctuations within prudent levels using varying investment strategies. These strategies include, but are not limited to, frequent internal modeling of asset and liability values and behavior due to changes in interest rates. We monitor cash flow forecasts closely and evaluate the impact of both prepayments and extension risk.

-54-

The following interest sensitivity analysis is one measurement of interest rate risk. This analysis reflects the contractual maturity characteristics of assets and liabilities over various time periods. This analysis does not factor in prepayments or interest rate floors on loans which may significantly change the report. This table includes nonaccrual loans in their respective maturity periods. The gap indicates whether more assets or liabilities are subject to repricing over a given time period. The interest sensitivity analysis at June 30, 2023 illustrated below reflects a liability-sensitive position with a negative cumulative gap on a one-year basis.

The interest spread and liability funding discussed below are directly related to changes in asset and liability mixes, volumes, maturities and repricing opportunities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those which are subject to repricing in the near term, including both floating or adjustable rate instruments and instruments approaching maturity. The interest sensitivity gap is the difference between total interest-sensitive assets and total interest-sensitive liabilities. Interest rates on our various asset and liability categories do not respond uniformly to changing market conditions. Interest rate risk is the degree to which interest rate fluctuations in the marketplace can affect net interest income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), a Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. First Guaranty maintains such controls designed to ensure this material information is communicated to Management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report are effective. There were no changes in First Guaranty's internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter in the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, First Guaranty's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

First Guaranty is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. First Guaranty assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings. Where it is probable that First Guaranty will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, First Guaranty records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. First Guaranty does not record a loss if the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable. First Guaranty was a defendant in a lawsuit alleging overpayment on a loan related to a disputed interest rate. This lawsuit was settled in the first quarter of 2023 for $0.6 million. First Guaranty Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit alleging fault for a loss of funds by a customer related to fraud by a third party, with a possible loss range of $0.0 million to $1.5 million. The Bank denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, which is in early stages, and no trial has been set. No accrued liability has been recorded related to this lawsuit. First Guaranty settled a case in the third quarter of 2021 for $1.1 million. A receivable for $0.9 million has been recorded for recovery by a claim against First Guaranty's insurer. In the opinion of management, neither First Guaranty nor First Guaranty Bank is currently involved in such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on First Guaranty’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against First Guaranty or First Guaranty Bank could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect the reputation of First Guaranty and First Guaranty Bank, even if resolved favorably.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors as disclosed in First Guaranty's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a)As previously reported, on May 23, 2023, First Guaranty accepted binding subscription agreements with certain investors qualified as “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to which First Guaranty offered and sold shares of its common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. 714,286 shares of Common Stock were sold at the issuance price of $14.00 per share. The offer and sale of the Common Stock by First Guaranty was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. The proceeds of the capital raise are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including to support continued growth and to enhance regulatory capital ratios.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. ("First Guaranty") thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and note disclosures for First Guaranty previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in First Guaranty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations at June 30, 2023 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and the valuation of investment securities.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

First Guaranty adopted FASB ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” Update No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. ASU 2016-13, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) standard, requires financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses, which reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial asset. Unfunded lending commitments are also within the scope of this topic. Under prior GAAP losses were not recognized until the occurrence of the loss was probable.

CECL requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. The CECL methodology requires that lifetime expected credit losses be recorded at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired, and be adjusted each period as a provision for credit losses for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not specify the method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the lifetime credit loss estimate. First Guaranty developed a CECL model methodology that calculates expected credit losses over the life of the portfolio by analyzing the composition, characteristics and quality of the loan and securities portfolios, as well as prevailing economic conditions and forecasts. First Guaranty’s CECL calculation estimates loan losses using a combination of discounted cash flow and remaining life analyses.

First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach for all loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures measured at amortized cost, other than purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2022 are presented in accordance with ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

ASU 2016-13 also amended the accounting model for purchased financial assets and replaced the guidance for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) financial assets with the concept of PCDs. For PCD assets, the CECL estimate is recognized through the allowance for credit losses with an offset to the amortized cost basis of the PCD asset at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses for PCD assets are recognized through a provision for credit losses on loans. First Guaranty used the prospective transition approach for PCD loans that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”). First Guaranty determined that certain PCI assets no longer met meet the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption.

First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, and recorded a one-time, cumulative effect adjustment as shown in the table below (dollars in thousands).

	December 31, 2022		Impact of ASU 2016-13 Adoption		January 1, 2023
Assets:
Allowance for credit losses	$	(23,518)	$	(8,220)	$	(31,738)
Deferred tax asset	6,420		2,100		8,520
Remaining purchase discount on loans	(1,120)		1,120		—
Liabilities:
Reserve for unfunded loan commitments	—		(2,900)		(2,900)
Shareholders' Equity:
Retained earnings	76,351		(7,900)		68,451

In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale (“AFS”) securities, requiring expected credit losses on AFS securities to be recorded in an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost. Declines in the fair value of AFS securities that are not considered credit related are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, expected credit losses on held to maturity (“HTM”) securities are required to be recorded in an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost basis. First Guaranty’s AFS securities portfolio was not materially impacted by the adoption of ASC 326. A $100,000 allowance for HTM securities was recorded at the adoption of ASC 326.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist and is maintained at an amount which management believes is a current estimate of the expected credit losses for the full life of the relevant pool of loans and related unfunded lending commitments. For modeling purposes, loan pools include: Real Estate based pools for construction and land development, farmland, 1-4 family residential, multifamily, and non-farm non-residential and non-real-estate pools for agricultural, commercial and industrial, commercial leases and consumer and other. Management periodically reassesses each pool to confirm the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded lending commitments to calculate an allowance for credit losses.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are excluded from the loan pools and individually evaluated for impairment. Individually evaluated loans are loans for which it is probable that all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.

FASB ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” Update No. 2022-02 (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 became effective for First Guaranty on January 1, 2023 and is applied prospectively. ASU 2022-02 amends Topic 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13 and, instead, requires that an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendment also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on First Guaranty’s consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2023, 177 of First Guaranty's debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 18.5% of the individual securities' amortized cost basis and 18.4% of First Guaranty's total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. 131 of the 177 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months at such date. The 131 securities had an aggregate amortized cost basis of $383.0 million and an unrealized loss of $73.0 million at June 30, 2023. Management has determined that the declines in the fair value of these securities was not attributed to credit losses, and no allowance for credit losses was recorded for available for sale securities at June 30, 2023.

Securities are evaluated for impairment from credit losses at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of First Guaranty to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Investment securities issued by the U.S. Government and Government sponsored enterprises with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities that are the result of changes in market interest rates will not be credit impaired. First Guaranty has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery, which may not be until maturity.

Corporate debt securities in a loss position consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by businesses in the financial, insurance, utility, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas industries. There were no securities with a credit related impairment loss at June 30, 2023. First Guaranty believes that the remaining issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities based on evaluations described above. First Guaranty has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

There was no allowance for credit losses recognized on securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

For securities that have indications of credit related impairment, management analyzes future expected cash flows to determine if any credit related impairment is evident. Estimated cash flows are determined using management's best estimate of future cash flows based on specific assumptions. The assumptions used to determine the cash flows were based on estimates of loss severity and credit default probabilities. Management reviews reports from credit rating agencies and public filings of issuers. 

At June 30, 2023, First Guaranty's exposure to bond issuers that exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity is below:

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Guaranty will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due are considered in evaluating loan impairment. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to impairment testing. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. First Guaranty's goodwill is the difference in purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired from its acquisition of Homestead Bancorp in 2007, Premier Bancshares, Inc. in 2017 and Union Bancshares, Incorporated in 2019. Goodwill totaled $12.9 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. No impairment charges have been recognized on First Guaranty's intangible assets since acquisition. Loan servicing assets totaled $0.6 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Other intangible assets recorded include core deposit intangibles, which are subject to amortization. The weighted-average amortization period remaining for First Guaranty's core deposit intangibles is 5.8 years at June 30, 2023. The core deposits intangible reflect the value of deposit relationships, including the beneficial rates, which arose from acquisitions.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Off-balance sheet commitments

First Guaranty is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, collateral or other security is not required to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Below is a summary of the notional amounts of the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Contract Amount

(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	339,966	$	246,968
Unfunded Commitments under lines of credit	$	238,013	$	253,906
Commercial and Standby letters of credit	$	14,219	$	14,222

Allowance For Credit Losses - Off- Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures

The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The ACL on off-balance-sheet credit exposures total $2.9 million at January 1, 2023 upon the adoption of ASC 326, and $3.0 million at June 30, 2023 and is included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

First Guaranty is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. First Guaranty assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings. Where it is probable that First Guaranty will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, First Guaranty records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. First Guaranty does not record a loss if the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable. First Guaranty Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit alleging fault for a loss of funds by a customer related to fraud by a third party with a possible loss range of $0.0 million to $1.5 million. The Bank denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, which is in early stages and no trial date has been set. No accrued liability has been recorded related to this lawsuit. First Guaranty settled a case in the third quarter of 2021 for $1.1 million. A receivable for $0.9 million has been recorded for recovery by a claim against First Guaranty's insurer. In the opinion of management, neither First Guaranty nor First Guaranty Bank is currently involved in such legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on First Guaranty’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against First Guaranty or First Guaranty Bank could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect the reputation of First Guaranty and First Guaranty Bank, even if resolved favorably.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. First Guaranty uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale. Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 in First Guaranty's portfolio as of June 30, 2023 includes corporate debt and municipal securities.

Impaired loans. Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2 or Level 3), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property's market; thus, OREO measured at fair value would be classified within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value: 

(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Available for Sale Securities Fair Value Measurements Using:
Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets	$	49,017	$	98,466
Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs	20,736		21,890
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs	10,400		11,102
Securities available for sale measured at fair value	$	80,153	$	131,458

First Guaranty's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

The change in Level 1 securities available for sale from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was due to a net decrease in Treasury bills of $49.4 million. There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 securities available for sale from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

The following table reconciles assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3):

ASC 825-10 provides First Guaranty with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits First Guaranty to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

First Guaranty has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are generally subjective in nature and are dependent upon a number of significant assumptions associated with each instrument or group of similar instruments, including estimates of discount rates, risks associated with specific financial instruments, estimates of future cash flows and relevant available market information. Fair value information is intended to represent an estimate of an amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. However, since there are no established trading markets for a significant portion of First Guaranty's financial instruments, First Guaranty may not be able to immediately settle financial instruments; as such, the fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized through immediate settlement. In addition, the majority of the financial instruments, such as loans and deposits, are held to maturity and are realized or paid according to the contractual agreement with the customer.

Quoted market prices are used to estimate fair values when available. However, due to the nature of the financial instruments, in many instances quoted market prices are not available. Accordingly, estimated fair values have been estimated based on other valuation techniques, such as discounting estimated future cash flows using a rate commensurate with the risks involved or other acceptable methods. Fair values are estimated without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of financial instruments, possible income tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. The fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Fair values are also estimated at a specific point in time and are based on interest rates and other assumptions at that date. As events change the assumptions underlying these estimates, the fair values of financial instruments will change.

Disclosure of fair values is not required for certain items such as lease financing, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, obligations of pension and other postretirement benefits, premises and equipment, other real estate, prepaid expenses, the value of long-term relationships with depositors (core deposit intangibles) and other customer relationships, other intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are presented for existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses have not been considered in the estimates. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent and should not be considered representative of the underlying market or franchise value of First Guaranty.

Because the standard permits many alternative calculation techniques and because numerous assumptions have been used to estimate the fair values, reasonable comparison of the fair value information with other financial institutions' fair value information cannot necessarily be made. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and federal funds purchased.

These items are generally short-term and the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets are a reasonable estimation of the fair values.

Investment Securities.

Fair values are principally based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or the use of discounted cash flow analyses.

Loans Held for Sale.

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. These loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans, net.

Market values are computed present values using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. These loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired loans.

Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2 or Level 3), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Cash Surrender of BOLI.

The cash surrender value of BOLI approximates fair value.

Accrued interest receivable.

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits.

The fair value of customer deposits, excluding certificates of deposit, is the amount payable on demand. Market values of certificates of deposit are actually computed present values using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. Deposits are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 Accrued interest payable.

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Borrowings.

The carrying amount of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair value of First Guaranty's long-term borrowings is computed using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. Borrowings are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Unrecognized Financial Instruments.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar legally binding agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and customers' credit ratings. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit are based on fees charged for similar agreements or on estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was not material.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at June 30, 2023 were as follows:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. ("First Guaranty") thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and note disclosures for First Guaranty previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in First Guaranty's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations at June 30, 2023 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and the valuation of investment securities.

ASU 2016-13, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) standard, requires financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis, including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses, which reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial asset. Unfunded lending commitments are also within the scope of this topic. Under prior GAAP losses were not recognized until the occurrence of the loss was probable.

CECL requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. The CECL methodology requires that lifetime expected credit losses be recorded at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired, and be adjusted each period as a provision for credit losses for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not specify the method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the lifetime credit loss estimate. First Guaranty developed a CECL model methodology that calculates expected credit losses over the life of the portfolio by analyzing the composition, characteristics and quality of the loan and securities portfolios, as well as prevailing economic conditions and forecasts. First Guaranty’s CECL calculation estimates loan losses using a combination of discounted cash flow and remaining life analyses.

First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach for all loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures measured at amortized cost, other than purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2022 are presented in accordance with ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

ASU 2016-13 also amended the accounting model for purchased financial assets and replaced the guidance for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) financial assets with the concept of PCDs. For PCD assets, the CECL estimate is recognized through the allowance for credit losses with an offset to the amortized cost basis of the PCD asset at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses for PCD assets are recognized through a provision for credit losses on loans. First Guaranty used the prospective transition approach for PCD loans that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”). First Guaranty determined that certain PCI assets no longer met meet the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption.

First Guaranty adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, and recorded a one-time, cumulative effect adjustment as shown in the table below (dollars in thousands).

	December 31, 2022		Impact of ASU 2016-13 Adoption		January 1, 2023
Assets:
Allowance for credit losses	$	(23,518)	$	(8,220)	$	(31,738)
Deferred tax asset	6,420		2,100		8,520
Remaining purchase discount on loans	(1,120)		1,120		—
Liabilities:
Reserve for unfunded loan commitments	—		(2,900)		(2,900)
Shareholders' Equity:
Retained earnings	76,351		(7,900)		68,451

In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale (“AFS”) securities, requiring expected credit losses on AFS securities to be recorded in an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost. Declines in the fair value of AFS securities that are not considered credit related are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, expected credit losses on held to maturity (“HTM”) securities are required to be recorded in an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost basis. First Guaranty’s AFS securities portfolio was not materially impacted by the adoption of ASC 326. A $100,000 allowance for HTM securities was recorded at the adoption of ASC 326.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist and is maintained at an amount which management believes is a current estimate of the expected credit losses for the full life of the relevant pool of loans and related unfunded lending commitments. For modeling purposes, loan pools include: Real Estate based pools for construction and land development, farmland, 1-4 family residential, multifamily, and non-farm non-residential and non-real-estate pools for agricultural, commercial and industrial, commercial leases and consumer and other. Management periodically reassesses each pool to confirm the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded lending commitments to calculate an allowance for credit losses.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are excluded from the loan pools and individually evaluated for impairment. Individually evaluated loans are loans for which it is probable that all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.

FASB ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” Update No. 2022-02 (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 became effective for First Guaranty on January 1, 2023 and is applied prospectively. ASU 2022-02 amends Topic 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13 and, instead, requires that an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendment also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on First Guaranty’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. First Guaranty uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale. Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 in First Guaranty's portfolio as of June 30, 2023 includes corporate debt and municipal securities.

Impaired loans. Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2 or Level 3), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property's market; thus, OREO measured at fair value would be classified within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

ASC 825-10 provides First Guaranty with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits First Guaranty to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

First Guaranty has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
