Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning and protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

● statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

● statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

● statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

● estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of the management of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) and Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

● changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

● local, regional, national and international economic and market conditions and events and the impact they may have on us, our customers and our assets and liabilities;

● competition among depository and other financial institutions;

● changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana;

● inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

● our ability to attract deposits and other sources of funding or liquidity;

● changes or volatility in the securities markets;

● political developments, uncertainties or instability;

● our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

● our ability to successfully perform due diligence and integrate acquired businesses including our recent acquisition of Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc.;

● changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

● our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans;

● possible impairments of securities held by us, including those issued by government entities and government sponsored enterprises;

● the level of future deposit insurance premium assessments;

● the costs or effects of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions we may make, whether we are able to obtain any required governmental approvals in connection with any such mergers, acquisitions or dispositions, and/or our ability to realize the contemplated financial or business benefits, including any anticipated cost savings or synergies, associated with any such mergers, acquisitions or dispositions, including the recent merger of The State Bank of Townsend with and into Opportunity Bank of Montana;

● our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable information technology systems, effectively defend ourselves against cyberattacks, or recover from breaches to our cybersecurity infrastructure;

● the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates;

● the possibility of goodwill impairment charges in the future;

● changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and

● the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see the Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and other filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana-chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.

On August 21, 2018, Eagle entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc. (“BMB”), a Montana corporation and BMB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The State Bank of Townsend (“SBOT”), a Montana chartered commercial bank to acquire 100% of BMB’s equity voting interests. On January 1, 2019, BMB merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. SBOT operated four branches in Townsend, Dutton, Denton and Choteau, Montana.

The Bank currently has 21 full service branches. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities. The Bank also operates certain branches under the brand names Dutton State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Denton and The State Bank of Townsend.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and AFSB NMTC Investment Fund, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2019. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2019. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other period.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2019 for recognition and/or disclosure.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS - continued

On September 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TwinCo, a Montana corporation, and TwinCo’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ruby Valley Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank to acquire 100% of TwinCo’s equity voting interests. The merger agreement provided that Ruby Valley Bank would merge with and into Opportunity Bank of Montana and that TwinCo would merge with and into the Company. Ruby Valley Bank operated 2 branches in Madison County, Montana. The transaction provided an opportunity to expand market presence and lending activities, particularly in agricultural lending. The acquisition closed January 31, 2018, after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of TwinCo shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $18,930,000 and included cash consideration of $9,900,000 and common stock issued of $9,030,000.

These transactions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. In business combination transactions in which the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of non-cash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, a more reliable measure.

Under FASB ASC 805, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at acquisition at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Goodwill recorded in the acquisitions was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative business combination guidance. Accordingly, goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Goodwill resulting from acquisition	$	3,586	$	5,090

For both the BMB and TwinCo acquisitions, the fair value analysis of the loan portfolios resulted in a valuation adjustment for each loan based on an amortization schedule of expected cash flow. Individual amortization schedules were used for each loan over a certain amount and those with specifically identified loss exposure. The remainder of the loans were grouped by type and risk rating into loan pools (based on loans type, fixed or variable interest rate, revolving or term payments and risk rating). Yield inputs for the amortization schedules included contractual interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, liquidity adjustments and market yields. Credit inputs for the amortization schedules included probability of payment default, loss given default rates and individually identified loss exposure.

The total discount on BMB acquired loans was $2,813,000 as of January 1, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, accretion of the loan discount was $909,000. The remaining loan discount was $1,904,000 as of June 30, 2019.

The total discount on TwinCo acquired loans was $1,834,000 as of January 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, accretion of the loan discount was $149,000. During the year ended December 31, 2018, accretion of the loan discount was $589,000. The remaining loan discount was $1,096,000 as of June 30, 2019.

Four impaired loans were acquired through the BMB acquisition with a net balance of $556,000 as of January 1, 2019. The balance of the loans as of June 30, 2019 was $395,000. Two impaired loans were acquired through the TwinCo acquisition with a balance of $1,188,000 as of January 31, 2018. The balance of the loans as of June 30, 2019 was $1,161,000. Acquired impaired loans are considered immaterial for separate disclosure in Note 4. Loans Receivable.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS – continued

Core deposit intangible assets of $1,988,000 were recorded for BMB and are being amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related deposits of 10 years. Core deposit intangible assets of $1,609,000 were recorded for TwinCo and are being amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related deposits of 10 years.

For both the BMB and TwinCo acquisition, the core deposit intangible value is a function of the difference between the cost of the acquired core deposits and the alternative cost of funds. These cash flow streams were discounted to present value. The fair value of other deposit accounts acquired were valued by estimating future cash flows to be received or paid from individual or homogenous groups of assets and liabilities and then discounting those cash flows to a present value using rates of return that were available in financial markets for similar financial instruments on or near the acquisition date.

Direct costs related to the acquisitions were expensed as incurred. The Company recorded acquisition costs related to BMB of $5,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, $1,171,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and $804,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company recorded total acquisition costs related to the TwinCo acquisition of $1,041,000, of which $365,000 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018. Acquisition costs included legal and professional fees and data processing expenses incurred related to the acquisitions.

Operations of BMB have been included in the consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2019. The Company does not consider BMB a separate reporting segment and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable to BMB since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019.

Operations of TwinCo have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 1, 2018. The Company does not consider TwinCo a separate reporting segment and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable to TwinCo since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from February 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The unrealized losses associated with these investments are believed to be caused by changing market conditions that are considered to be temporary and the Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. Based on the Company’s evaluation of these securities, no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or 2018. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were, respectively, 24 and 108 securities in unrealized loss positions that were considered to be temporarily impaired and therefore an impairment charge has not been recorded.

At December 31, 2018, 11 corporate obligations had an unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of approximately 2.88% from the Company's amortized cost basis of these securities. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

As of June 30, 2019, 11 mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 1.41% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities.

Management’s analysis as of June 30, 2019 revealed no expected credit losses on the securities and therefore, declines are not deemed to be other than temporary.

As of June 30, 2019, 5 asset-backed securities (“ABSs”) had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 2.03% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. At December 31, 2018, 4 ABSs had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 1.89% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. Management’s analysis as of June 30, 2019 revealed no expected credit losses on the securities and therefore, declines are not deemed to be other than temporary.

NOTE 12. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Interest Rate Lock and Forward Commitments

The company enters into mandatory and best efforts interest rate lock commitments to finance mortgage loans. Outstanding loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates. The Company also enters into forward commitments to hedge against adverse price or interest rate movements on loan commitments. These commitments are accounted for as free-standing or economic derivatives and are measured at fair value. The derivatives are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. A net loss of $529,000 was recorded in noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Derivatives are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2019						December 31, 2018
	Notional		Fair Value				Notional		Fair Value
	Amount		Asset		Liability		Amount		Asset		Liability
	(In Thousands)

Forward sales commitments		60,000		-		1,843		16,000		-		-

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are grouped in three levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

The levels are as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Inputs – Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that may include significant management judgement and estimation.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Available-for-Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Loans Held-for-Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds from sales contracts and commitments and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Derivative Instruments – The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. Interest rate lock commitments are considered Level 3 inputs and the forward sales commitments are considered Level 2 inputs.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets – Fair values are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals are generally discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on same or similar factors above.

The following tables summarize financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value.

Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as impaired loans that are collateral dependent and real estate and other repossessed assets.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the reporting periods presented:

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES – continued

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments. However, the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 provides additional description of valuation methodologies used in estimating fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash, Interest Bearing Accounts, Accrued Interest and Dividend Receivable and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities – The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

Stock in the FHLB of Des Moines and FRB – The fair value of stock approximates redemption value.

Loans Receivable – Fair values are estimated by stratifying the loan portfolio into groups of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as real estate, commercial, and consumer, with each category further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. For mortgage loans, the Company uses the secondary market rates in effect for loans that have similar characteristics. The fair value of other fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the anticipated maturities adjusted for prepayment estimates. Adjustable interest rate loans are assumed to approximate fair value because they generally reprice within the short term.

Fair values are adjusted for credit risk based on assessment of risk identified with specific loans, and risk adjustments on the remaining portfolio based on credit loss experience.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – the fair value of servicing rights was determined at loan level using a discount rate of 12.00% for all investor types and prepayment speeds ranging from 98.00% to 255.00% PSA (Public Securities Association prepayment model), depending on the interest rate and term of the specific loan. The weighted average prepayment speed was 166.00% PSA. Individual mortgage servicing rights values were capped at a maximum of 1.25% for all investor types.

Deposits and Time Certificates of Deposit – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking, passbook, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from the FHLB/Other Borrowings and Other Long-Term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s advances and debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the interest rate that would be effective June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively if the borrowings repriced according to their stated terms.

NOTE 14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting regarding leasing transactions. The new standard affects all companies and organizations that lease assets. The standard requires organizations to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases if the lease terms are more than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s operating leases primarily relate to branch locations. We currently lease six locations that are full-service branches and one mortgage lending branch. The leases expire on various dates through 2028. As a result of adopting the lease standard on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right of use assets of $2,374,000 and corresponding lease liabilities. The right of use assets are included in premises and equipment, net and the lease liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition.

NOTE 14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – continued

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The standard requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the standard amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. 

The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). 

The Company believes the amendments in this update will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is working to evaluate the significance of that impact. In that regard, we have established a working group under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Credit Officer. The group is composed of individuals from the finance and credit administration areas of the Company. We are currently developing an implementation plan, including assessment of processes, segmentation of the loan portfolio and identifying and adding data fields necessary for analysis. The adoption of this standard is likely to result in an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model to an “expected loss” model. While we currently cannot reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this standard, we expect the impact will be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios, as well as the general economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) to amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing to eliminate Step 2 from the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables–Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. Currently, entities generally amortize the premium as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the security. The guidance does not change the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2019 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we typically do not invest in these types of securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Overview

The Company’s primary business activity is the ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Montana chartered commercial bank that focuses on both consumer and commercial lending. It engages in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank’s primary component of earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the difference between interest income and interest expense. The net interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by changes in market interest rates. The Bank also generates noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of loans.

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with a large portion of its loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages, which has enabled it to successfully market home equity loans, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). In recent years, the Bank has also focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. We have made significant progress in this initiative. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s dependence on the residential mortgage market, as well as to improve its ability to manage its spread. Recent acquisitions have added to our agricultural loans, which generally have shorter maturities and nominally higher interest rates. This has provided additional interest income and improved interest rate sensitivity. The Bank’s management recognizes that fee income will also enable it to be less dependent on specialized lending and it now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio which provides a steady source of fee income. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from the Bank’s deposit accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits and certificates of deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise. Gain on sale of loans also provides significant noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Such income will be adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity.

Management continues to focus on improving the Bank’s core earnings. Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with the exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of the Bank’s loan servicing portfolio. Management believes that the Bank will need to continue to concentrate on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income and control of operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the bank’s loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as follows: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base should yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the Bank’s balance sheet in an efficient manner. Though deposit growth has been steady, it may become more difficult to maintain due to significant competition and possible reduced customer demand for deposits as customers may shift into other asset classes.

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well. The Federal Open Market Committee changed the federal funds target rate from 1.50% to 2.50% during the year ended December 31, 2018. The rate remained at 2.50% at June 30, 2019.

From time to time the Bank has considered growth through mergers or acquisition as an alternative to its strategy of organic growth. On September 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TwinCo, a Montana corporation, and TwinCo’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ruby Valley Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank to acquire 100% of TwinCo’s equity voting interests. The merger agreement provided that Ruby Valley Bank would merge with and into Opportunity Bank of Montana and that TwinCo would merge with and into the Company. Ruby Valley Bank operated 2 branches in Madison County, Montana. The transaction provided an opportunity to expand market presence and lending activities, particularly in agricultural lending. The acquisition closed January 31, 2018, after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of TwinCo shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $18.93 million and included cash consideration of $9.90 million and common stock issued of $9.03 million.

Effective January 1, 2019, Eagle completed its previously announced merger with Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc. (“BMB”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 21, 2018, by and among Eagle, Opportunity Bank of Montana, BMB and BMB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The State Bank of Townsend, a Montana chartered commercial bank. At the effective time of the Merger, BMB merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The State Bank of Townsend operated four branches in Townsend, Dutton, Denton and Choteau, Montana. The transaction provided an opportunity to expand market presence and lending activities, throughout the state. The acquisition closed after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of BMB shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $16.44 million and it was primarily related to common stock issued.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are between June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Total assets were $1.01 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $153.83 million, or 18.0%, from $853.90 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was largely due to the change in loans receivable which was impacted by the acquisition of BMB. Loans receivable increased by $134.35 million, or 22.0%, to $744.68 million at June 30, 2019, from $610.33 million at December 31, 2018. Total liabilities were $892.03 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $132.93 million, or 17.5%, from $759.10 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to an increase in deposits which was impacted by the BMB acquisition. Total deposits increased by $121.78 million, or 19.4%, to $748.39 million at June 30, 2019, from $626.61 million at December 31, 2018.

Nonperforming Assets. Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days delinquent, the borrower is sent a past due notice. If the loan becomes 30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquency notice requiring payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.

For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions. If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair market value less estimated selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Bank had $91,000 of real estate owned.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased $20.88 million, or 22.0%, to $115.69 million at June 30, 2019 from $94.81 million at December 31, 2018. This was primarily the result of stock issued in connection with the BMB acquisition of $16.44 million. The increase was also due to net income of $4.43 million and other comprehensive income of $2.28 million. These increases were slightly offset by treasury stock purchased for $1.21 million and dividends paid of $1.19 million.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Bank’s earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the single largest component of Eagle’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and investments and rates paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings (the “interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments and interest bearing deposits and borrowings.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $3.25 million compared to $1.33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $1.92 million was due to an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $1.21 million and an increase in noninterest income of $2.78 million, offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.59 million and an increase in income tax provision of $487,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.51 for the current period. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.24 for the prior year comparable period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $9.69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $7.81 million for the same quarter in the prior year. This increase of $1.88 million, or 24.1%, was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income of $2.66 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $778,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was $11.64 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $8.98 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $2.66 million, or 29.6%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $10.60 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $7.86 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase of $2.74 million, or 34.9%, was due to an increase in the average balance of loans, as well as, an increase in the average yield of loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $754.20 million, compared to $585.37 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $168.83 million, or 28.8% and was impacted by the BMB acquisition. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable increased by 25 basis points, from 5.39% to 5.64%. Interest and fees on loans also includes $538,000 related to accretion of the loan purchase discount for the BMB and TwinCo acquisitions. Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale decreased by $93,000, or 9.1% period over period. Average balances for investments decreased to $136.82 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $154.67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. However, average interest rates earned on investments increased slightly to 2.72% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 2.65% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $1.94 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $778,000 or 66.7% was due to an increase in interest expense on deposits, as well as an increase in total borrowings. The average balance for total deposits was $741.94 million for three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $623.29 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was impacted by the BMB acquisition. The overall average rate on total deposits was 0.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 0.32% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The average balance for total borrowings increased from $102.13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $131.22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average rate paid on total borrowings also increased from 2.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, to 3.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Loan Loss Provision. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management of the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank and past due loans in the portfolio. The Bank’s policies require review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. The Bank recorded $697,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $24,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income was $5.50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2.72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $2.78 million is largely due to an increase in net gain on sale of loans which increased to $3.36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $1.72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was also impacted by increased mortgage originations and higher margins on mortgage loans sold.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $10.47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $8.88 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $1.59 million or 17.9% is largely due to increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $1.05 million. The increase is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to the continued loan growth, additional mortgage lenders hired in the past year and staff hired related to compliance with mortgage rules. Salaries and employee benefits expense was also impacted by the addition of staff related to the BMB acquisition.

Income Tax Provision. Income tax provision was $780,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $293,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 19.4% compared to 18.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $4.43 million compared to $1.91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $2.52 million was due to an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $3.64 million and an increase in noninterest income of $4.05 million, offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $4.53 million and an increase in income tax provision of $621,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.69 for the current year period. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.35 for the prior year period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $19.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $14.66 million for the previous year’s six-month period. This increase of $4.41 million, or 30.1%, was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income of $5.83 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.41 million.

Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale decreased $124,000, or 6.2% period over period. Average balances for investments decreased to $138.81 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $165.55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. However, average interest rates earned on investments increased to 2.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 2.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3.69 million compared to $2.28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $1.41 million was due to an increase in interest expense on deposits, as well as an increase in total borrowings. Interest expense on deposits increased $791,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to higher overall average balances for total deposits which increased from $614.30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $733.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was impacted by the BMB acquisition. The overall average rate on total deposits was also increased to 0.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 0.30% for the prior period. Interest expense on total borrowings increased $623,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average borrowing balance decreased slightly from $130.34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $128.36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. However, the average rate paid increased from 2.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, to 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Loan Loss Provision. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management of the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank and past due loans in the portfolio. The Bank’s policies require a review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. The Bank recorded $1.30 million in loan loss provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $526,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate. Total nonperforming loans was $3.76 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $3.77 million at December 31, 2018. The Bank has $91,000 in other real estate owned and other repossessed assets at June 30, 2019 compared to $107,000 at December 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $9.20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $5.15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $4.05 million or 78.6%. The increase is largely due to an increase in net gain on sale of loans which increased to $5.96 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $173.68 million mortgage loans were sold compared to $120.64 million in the same period in the prior year. In addition, the gross margin on sale of mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $21.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $16.96 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase of $4.53 million, or 26.7%, is largely due to increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $2.13 million. The increase in salaries expense is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to the continued loan growth and additional staff related to compliance with mortgage rules. Salaries and employee benefits expense was also impacted by the addition of staff related to the BMB acquisition. In addition, acquisition costs increased $811,000 due to the BMB acquisition.

Income Tax Provision. Income tax provision was $1.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $420,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 19.0% compared to 18.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined in the regulations of the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and FRB regulations. The liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with FHLB. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations and advances from FHLB and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit, demand deposit withdrawals and to invest in other loans and investments, maintain liquidity and meet operating expenses.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part on commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Bank’s ability to generate funds.

Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, the Bank’s internally determined measurement of sensitivity to interest rate movements as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, increased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 10.5% compared to an increase of 2.3% at December 31, 2018. The Bank is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity in rising interest rate scenarios.

Beginning January 1, 2015, community banking organizations became subject to a new regulatory rule recently adopted by federal banking agencies (commonly referred to as Basel III). The new rule establishes a new regulatory capital framework that incorporates revisions to the Basel capital framework, strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, and amends the methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets. These changes are expected to increase the amount of capital required by community banking organizations. Basel III includes a multiyear transition period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019.

The Banks’s Tier I leverage ratio, as measured under State of Montana and FRB rules, increased from 11.22% as of December 31, 2018 to 11.18% as of June 30, 2019. The Bank’s capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

As of June 30, 2019, the Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank is deemed “well capitalized” pursuant to State of Montana and FRB rules. As of June 30, 2019, the Bank’s total capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.98%, 13.98%, 13.98% and 11.18%, respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 10.50%, 8.50%, 7.00% and 4.00%, respectively. All of these ratios with the exception of the Tier 1 leverage ratio include the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% phased-in beginning January 1, 2019.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of future earnings resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Interest rate risk results from several factors and could have a significant impact on the Company’s net interest income, which is the Company primary source of income. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest fluctuations on asset prepayments and the mix of interest bearing assets and liabilities.

Although interest rate risk is inherent in the banking industry, banks are expected to have sound risk management practices in place to measure, monitor and control interest rate exposures. The objective of interest rate risk management is to contain the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. The process involves identification and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates.

The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability committee, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Bank’s asset/liability committee. In this capacity, the asset/liability committee develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends. The Company’s goal of its asset and liability management practices is to maintain or increase the level of net interest income within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. Our asset and liability policy and strategies are expected to continue as described so long as competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial institution industry and market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Rate Risk – continued

The Bank has established acceptable levels of interest rate risk for an instantaneous and permanent shock in rates as follows: Projected net interest income over the next twelve months (i.e. year-1) will not be reduced by more than 15.0% given an immediate change in interest rates of up to 200 basis points (+ or -). Furthermore, projected net interest income over the subsequent twelve months (i.e. year-2) will not be reduced by more than 15.0%.

The following table includes the Bank’s net interest income sensitivity analysis.

Changes in Market	Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rates	As of June 30, 2019				Policy
(Basis Points)	Year 1		Year 2		Limits
+200		1.10%		3.40%		-15.00%
-200		-6.20%		-11.10%		-15.00%

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
