MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
FCB Financial Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of reliable consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated fmancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated fmancial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over fmancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment ofthe effectiveness of internal control over fmancial reporting. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the 2013 updated framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based upon its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.
 
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent public accounting firm, as stated in their report dated February 21, 2019.

Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FCB Financial Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
     
   
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 21, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion.
     
   
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     
   
     
   
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010.

Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     
    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations
 
The Company is a national bank holding company with two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Florida Community Bank, N.A., a national bank (“Florida Community Bank” or the “Bank”); and (ii) Floridian Custody Services, Inc. (“Custody Services”). Florida Community Bank, headquartered in Weston, Florida, offers a comprehensive range of traditional banking products and services to individual and corporate customers through 52 banking centers located in Florida. Custody Services, headquartered in Davie, Florida, provides clearing and custodian services to deposit brokers and their clients.

On July 24, 2018, the Company announced the entry into a definitive merger agreement under which it would be acquired by Columbus, Georgia based Synovus Financial Corp. (“Synovus”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company’s shareholders received a fixed ratio of 1.055 shares of Synovus common stock for each common share of the Company in an all-stock transaction. The merger agreement was unanimously approved by both companies’ Boards of Directors and approved by the shareholders of both companies and by state and federal bank regulators. The transaction closed on January 1, 2019.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Custody Services and Florida Community Bank, and the Bank’s subsidiaries, which consist of a group of real estate holding companies. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates

The Company’s financial reporting and accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates subject to significant change include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of and accounting for acquired loans, the carrying value of OREO, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisition-related fair value computations, stock-based compensation and deferred taxes.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for transactions that meet the definition of a purchase business combination by recording the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value upon acquisition. The operations of the acquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Intangible assets, indemnification contracts and contingent consideration are identified and recognized individually. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price plus the fair value of the liabilities assumed, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Conversely, if the purchase price plus the fair value of the liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired, goodwill is recognized. The Company’s assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed conform to market conditions at the date of acquisition. The provisional amounts recorded are updated if better information is obtained about the initial assumptions used to determine fair value or if new information is obtained regarding the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition. The provisional amounts may be adjusted through the completion of the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the date of acquisition.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses estimates of fair value in applying various accounting standards for its consolidated financial statements on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three hierarchy levels, based on the observability and transparency of the inputs. These levels are as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Observable inputs other than level 1 inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in less active markets and other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data;

Level 3—Unobservable inputs supported by limited or no market activity or data and inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation; valuation techniques utilizing level 3 inputs include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in estimating fair value. Unobservable inputs are utilized in determining fair value estimates only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from a lack of market liquidity and trading volume. Transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy are recorded at the end of the reporting period.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments, allows the Company an irrevocable option for measurement of eligible financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis (the fair value option). An election may be made at the time an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment is recognized or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instrument as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. A gain or loss is recognized in earnings upon completion of the sale based on the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the assets. Control over the transferred assets is deemed to have been surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements or similar arrangements. Cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, the carrying amount of such instruments is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Restrictions on Cash

The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances with the FRB. Such reserve requirements are based on a percentage of deposit liabilities and may be satisfied by cash on hand or on deposit. Because the amount of cash on hand exceeded the requirement, there was no reserve with the FRB as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Investment Securities

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date basis. The Company determines the classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. If the Company has the intent and the ability at the time of purchase to hold debt securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity. Investment securities held-to-maturity are stated at amortized cost. Debt securities the Company does not intend to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Available for sale securities are a part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk or other market factors.

Interest income and dividends on securities are recognized in interest income on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the period to maturity of the related security using the effective interest method. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method.

The Company reviews investment securities for impairment on a quarterly basis or more frequently if events and circumstances warrant. In order to determine if a decline in fair value below amortized cost represents other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), management considers several factors, including but not limited to, the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer (considering factors such as adverse conditions specific to the issuer and the security and ratings agency actions) and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment in order to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company recognizes OTTI of a debt security for which there has been a decline in fair value below amortized cost if (i) management intends to sell the security, (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (iii) the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The amount by which amortized cost exceeds the fair value of a debt security that is considered to have OTTI is separated into a component representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and a component related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The measurement of the credit loss component is equal to the difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield. If the Company intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value of the security.

The Bank, as a member of the FHLB is required to maintain an investment in the stock of the FHLB. No market exists for this stock, and the Bank’s investment can be liquidated only through redemption by the FHLB, at the discretion of and subject to conditions imposed by the FHLB. Historically, FHLB stock redemptions have been at cost (par value), which equals the Company’s carrying value. The Company monitors its investment in FHLB stock for impairment through review of recent financial results of the FHLB including capital adequacy and liquidity position, dividend payment history, redemption history and information from credit agencies. The Company has not identified any indicators of impairment of FHLB stock.

Loans

The Company’s accounting methods for loans differ depending on whether the loans are new (“New” loans) or acquired (“Acquired” loans), and for acquired loans, whether the loans were acquired at a discount as a result of credit deterioration since the date of origination.

New Loans

The Company accounts for originated loans and purchased loans not acquired through business acquisitions as New loans. New loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any allowance for loan losses, unamortized deferred fees and costs and unamortized premiums or discounts. The net amount of nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct costs associated with the lending process are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual lives of the New loans using methods which approximate the effective yield method. Discounts and premiums are amortized or accreted into interest income over the estimated term of the New loans using methods that approximate the effective yield method. Interest income on New loans is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance outstanding and the contractual terms of the loan agreements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 310-30 unless the loan type is excluded from the scope of ASC 310-30 (i.e. loans where borrowers have revolving privileges at acquisition date, or “Non-ASC 310-30” loans). The Company has elected to account for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality since origination under ASC 310-30 (“ASC 310-30” loans or pools) due to the following:
 

There is evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination resulting in a “Day 1” discount attributable, at least in part, to credit quality;
 
The loans were acquired in a business combination or asset purchase; and
 
The loans are not to be subsequently accounted for at fair value.
 
The Company has elected this policy for loans acquired through business combinations exhibiting credit deterioration since origination, except those loan types which have been scoped out of ASC 310-30. Substantially all loans acquired through the FDIC-assisted acquisitions had a fair value discount at acquisition date due at least in part to deterioration in credit quality since origination. However, there was a separate grouping of loans individually identified with substantial credit impairment that would be explicitly scoped into ASC 310-30 from those that were classified by analogy. The Company determined that a loan would be explicitly scoped into ASC 310-30 if there was evidence of credit deterioration at Day 1 and that it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all contractual cash flows receivable. The loans that were classified by analogy were determined to have evidence of credit deterioration at Day 1 and that it was possible, not probable, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractual cash flows receivable.

For each acquisition, ASC 310-30 loans are aggregated into pools based on common risk characteristics, which includes similar credit risk of the loans based on whether loans were analogized or were explicitly scoped into ASC 310-30, internal risk ratings for commercial real estate, land and development and commercial loans; and performing status for consumer and single family residential loans. Pools of loans are further aggregated by collateral type (e.g. commercial real estate, single family residential, etc.). The Company did not elect to aggregate loans into pools that were acquired from separate acquisitions completed in the same fiscal quarter.

Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. Fair value for acquired loans is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers factors including the type of loan and related collateral type, delinquency and credit classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan, whether or not the loan was amortizing, and current discount rates. Additional assumptions used include default rates, loss severity, loss curves and prepayment speeds. Discounts due to credit quality are included in the determination of fair value; therefore an allowance for loan losses is not recorded at the acquisition date. The discount rates used for the cash flow methodology are based on market rates for new originations of comparable loans at the time of acquisition and include adjustments for liquidity concerns. The fair value is determined from the discounted cash flows for each individual loan, and for ASC 310-30 loans are then aggregated at the unit of account, or pool level.

For acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality, the Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to collect from the loans in each pool, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest as well as cash received through other forms of satisfaction (e.g. foreclosure). The excess of contractual amounts over the total cash flows expected to be collected from the loans is referred to as non-accretable difference, which is not accreted into income. The excess of the expected undiscounted cash flows over the carrying value of the loans is referred to as accretable discount. Accretable discount is recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the expected term of the loans in each pool.

The Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected over the expected term of the ASC 310-30 loans on a quarterly basis. Subsequent increases in total cash flows expected to be collected are recognized as an adjustment to the accretable discount with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining expected term of the loans. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the expected term of the loans are recognized as impairment in the current period through a provision for loan losses.
Page 15 of 79

FCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

Each pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. Resolutions of loans may include sales to third parties, receipt of payments in settlement with the borrower, or foreclosure of the collateral. Upon these resolutions, the Company’s policy is to remove an individual ASC 310-30 loan from a pool based on comparing the amount received from its resolution with its contractual amount. Any difference between these amounts is absorbed by the nonaccretable difference. This removal method assumes that the amount received from these resolutions approximates the pool performance expectations of cash flows. The accretable yield percentage is unaffected by the resolution. Any changes in the effective yield for the remaining loans in the pool are addressed by the quarterly cash flow evaluation process for each pool. For loans that are resolved by payment in full, there is no release of the nonaccretable difference for the pool because there is no difference between the amount received at resolution and the contractual amount of the loan.

Payments received in excess of expected cash flows may result in an ASC 310-30 pool becoming fully amortized and its carrying value reduced to zero even though outstanding contractual balances remain related to loans in the pool. Once the carrying value of an ASC 310-30 pool is reduced to zero, any future proceeds from the borrower or from the sale of loans are recognized as interest income upon receipt. There were seven ASC 310-30 pools whose carrying value had been reduced to zero as of December 31, 2018. These pools had an aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance (“UPB” or “UPBs”) of $330 thousand as of December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold approximately $600 thousand of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. These sales resulted in proceeds that exceeded the carrying value of the accounting pool in which the loans resided of $120 thousand which was recognized as interest income. There were six ASC 310-30 pools whose carrying value had been reduced to zero as of December 31, 2017. These pools had an aggregate UPB of $399 thousand as of December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company sold approximately $11.7 million of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. These sales resulted in proceeds that exceeded the carrying value of the accounting pool in which the loans resided of $3.3 million which was recognized as interest income.

Non-ASC 310-30 loans are recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date and subsequently accounted for under ASC Topic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (“ASC 310-20”). The fair value discount is accreted using methods which approximate the level-yield method over the remaining term of the loans and is recognized as a component of interest income.

Loans Held for Sale

Certain residential fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage loans originated by the Company with the intent to sell in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or prevailing market prices. These loans are generally sold on a non-recourse basis with servicing released. Gains and losses on the sale of loans recognized in earnings are measured based on the difference between proceeds received and the carrying amount of the loans, inclusive of deferred origination fees and costs, if any.

Nonaccrual Loans

For New and Non-ASC 310-30 loans, the Company classifies loans as past due when the payment of principal or interest is greater than 30 days delinquent based on the contractual next payment due date. The Company’s policies related to when loans are placed on nonaccrual status conform to guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when it is probable that principal or interest is not fully collectible, or generally when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due, whichever occurs first. Loans secured by 1-4 single family residential properties may remain in accruing status until they are 180 days past due if management determines that it does not have concern over the collectability of principal and interest because the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, interest receivable is reversed against interest income in the current period and amortization of any discount ceases.
Page 16 of 79

FCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
 
Interest payments received thereafter are applied as a reduction to the remaining principal balance unless management believes that the ultimate collection of the principal is likely, in which case payments are recognized in earnings on a cash basis. Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they become current as to both principal and interest and the collectability of principal and interest is no longer doubtful.

Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual for a period of six months to demonstrate the borrower can meet the restructured terms. However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan. Contractually delinquent ASC 310-30 loans are not classified as nonaccrual as long as the discount continues to be accreted on the corresponding ASC 310-30 pool.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In certain situations, due to economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company may grant a concession to the borrower for other than an insignificant period of time that it would not otherwise consider. At that time, except for ASC 310-30 loans, which are accounted for as pools, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) and considered impaired. Modified ASC 310-30 loans accounted for in pools are not accounted for as TDRs, are not separated from the pools and are not classified as impaired loans. The concessions granted may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance, extensions of maturity at rates of interest below those commensurate with the risk profile of the borrower, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss. A troubled debt restructured loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of the modification unless the borrower has no history of missed payments for six months prior to the restructuring. If the borrower performs pursuant to the modified loan terms for at least six months and the remaining loan balance is considered collectible, the loan is returned to accrual status.

Impaired Loans

An ASC 310-30 pool is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all the cash flows expected at acquisition, plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition. All ASC 310-30 pools are evaluated individually for impairment based their expected total cash flows. The discount continues to be accreted on ASC 310-30 pools as long as there are expected future cash flows in excess of the current carrying amount of the pool.

Non-ASC 310-30 and New loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements.

All Non-ASC 310-30 and New loans of $250,000 or greater with an internal risk rating of substandard or below and on nonaccrual, as well as loans classified as TDRs are reviewed individually for impairment on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”)

The Company’s ALL is established for both performing and nonperforming loans. The Company’s ALL is the amount considered adequate to absorb probable losses within the portfolio based on management’s evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, internal risk ratings, loss forecasts, collateral values, geographic location, borrower FICO scores, delinquency rates, nonperforming and restructured loans, origination channels, product mix, underwriting practices, industry conditions, economic trends and net charge-off trends. The ALL relates to New loans, estimated additional losses arising on Non-ASC 310-30 loans subsequent to the acquisitions and additional impairment recognized as a result of decreases in expected cash flows on ASC 310-30 pools due to further credit deterioration or other factors since the acquisitions. The ALL consists of both specific and general components.
 
Page 17 of 79

FCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
 
For ASC 310-30 pools, a specific valuation allowance is established when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all of the cash flows expected at acquisition, plus the additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition. Expected cash flows are estimated on an individual loan basis and then aggregated at the ASC 310-30 pool level. The analysis of expected pool cash flows incorporates updated pool level expected prepayment rate, default rate, delinquency level and loss severity given default assumptions. These analyses incorporate information about loan performance, collateral values, the financial condition of the borrower, internal risk ratings, the Company’s own and industry historical delinquency and default severity data. The carrying value for ASC 310-30 pools is reduced by the amount of the calculated impairment, which is also the basis in which future accretion income is calculated. A charge-off is taken for an individual ASC 310-30 loan when it is deemed probable that the loan will be resolved for an amount less than its carrying value. The charge-off is taken to the specific allowance or mark as applicable. Alternatively, an improvement in the expected cash flows related to ASC 310-30 pools results in a reduction or recoupment of any previously established specific allowance with a corresponding credit to the provision for loan losses. Any recoupment recorded is limited to the amount of the remaining specific allowance for that pool, with any excess of expected cash flow resulting in a reclassification from non-accretable to accretable yield and an increase in the prospective yield of the pool.

The New and Non-ASC 310-30 loan portfolios have limited delinquency and credit loss history and have not yet exhibited an observable loss trend. The credit quality of loans in these loan portfolios are impacted by delinquency status and debt service coverage generated by the borrowers’ businesses and fluctuations in the value of real estate collateral. Management considers delinquency status to be the most meaningful indicator of the credit quality of one-to-four single family residential, home equity loans and lines of credit and other consumer loans. Delinquency statistics are updated at least monthly. Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for Non-ASC 310-30 and new commercial, construction, land and development, and commercial real estate loans. Internal risk ratings are a key factor in identifying loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and impact management’s estimates of loss factors used in determining the amount of the ALL. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis. Relationships with balances in excess of $250,000 are re-evaluated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted.

New and Non-ASC 310-30 loans of $250,000 or greater with an internal risk rating of substandard or below and on nonaccrual, as well as loans classified as TDR are reviewed individually for impairment on a quarterly basis. The specific allowance established for these loans is based on a thorough analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the loan’s estimated market value or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less costs of disposition. General allowances are established for new and Non-ASC 310-30 loans that are not evaluated individually for impairment, which are evaluated by loan category based on common risk characteristics. In this process, general loan loss factors are established based on the following: industry historical losses segmented by portfolio and asset categories; trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals by loan portfolio segment and asset categories within those segments; portfolio segment and asset category production trends, including average risk ratings and loan-to value (“LTV”) ratios; current industry conditions, including real estate market trends; general economic conditions; credit concentrations by portfolio and asset categories; and portfolio quality, which encompasses an assessment of the quality and relevance of borrowers’ financial information and collateral valuations and average risk rating and migration trends within portfolios and asset categories.

Other adjustments for qualitative factors may be made to the allowance after an assessment of internal and external influences on credit quality and loss severity that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. For these measurements, the Company uses assumptions and methodologies that are relevant to estimating the level of impairment and probable losses in the loan portfolio. To the extent that the data supporting such assumptions has limitations, management’s judgment and experience play a key role in recording the allowance estimates. Qualitative adjustments are considered for: portfolio credit quality trends, including levels of delinquency, charge-offs, nonaccrual, restructuring and other factors; policy and credit standards, including quality and experience of lending and credit management; and general economic factors, including national, regional and local conditions and trends.

Additions to the ALL are made by provisions charged to earnings. The allowance is decreased by charge-offs of balances no longer deemed collectible. Charge-offs on new and Non-ASC 310-30 loans are recognized as follows: commercial loans are written-off when management determines them to be uncollectible; for unsecured consumer loans at 90 days past due; and for residential real estate loans and secured consumer loans generally when they become 120 to 180 days past due, depending on the collateral type. The Company reports recoveries on a cash basis at the time received. Recoveries on ASC 310-30 loans that were charged-off and Non-ASC 310-30 loans that were charged-off prior to the Acquisitions are recognized in earnings as income from resolution of acquired assets and do not affect the allowance for loan losses. All other recoveries are credited to the ALL.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, except for land which is stated at cost. The useful lives of premises and equipment are: 39 years for bank premises; 3 to 5 years for computer equipment and software; and 5 years for furniture and equipment.

Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease terms, including certain renewals that were deemed probable at lease inception, or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Purchased software and external direct costs of computer software developed for internal use are capitalized provided certain criteria are met and amortized over the useful lives of the software. Rent expense and rental income on operating leases are recorded using the straight-line method over the appropriate lease terms.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure or in connection with the Acquisitions, are held for sale and are initially recorded at their fair value less disposition costs. When such assets are acquired, any shortfall between the loan carrying value and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less disposition costs is recorded as an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses while any excess is recognized in income. The Company periodically performs a valuation of the property held; any excess of carrying value over fair value less disposition costs is charged to earnings as impairment. Routine maintenance and real estate taxes are expensed as incurred.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

The Bank owns life insurance policies on certain directors and current and former employees. These policies are recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement, if applicable. Increases in the cash surrender value of these policies are included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s BOLI policies are invested in general account and hybrid account products that have been underwritten by highly-rated third party insurance carriers.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred in business combinations over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company has a single reporting unit. The impairment test compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no impairment is indicated. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value. The Company uses the fair value of the Company’s publicly traded stock to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit at the last impairment testing date exceeded its carrying amount; therefore, no impairment of goodwill was indicated.

Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) is a measure of the value of checking and savings deposit relationships acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the CDI stemming from any given business combination is based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding relative to an alternative source of funding. CDI is amortized over the estimated useful lives of the existing deposit relationships acquired, but does not exceed 10 years. The Company evaluates such identifiable intangibles for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an impairment loss is determined to exist, the loss is reflected as an impairment charge in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the period in which such impairment is identified. No impairment charges were required to be recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) is determined using the asset and liability method and consists of income taxes that are currently payable and deferred income taxes. Deferred income tax expense is determined by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence that may impact the realization of deferred tax assets. These considerations include the amount of taxable income generated in statutory carryback periods, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return including the results of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and Custody Services. The Company estimates income taxes payable based on the amount it expects to owe the various tax authorities (i.e., federal and state). Income taxes represent the net estimated amount due to, or to be received from, such tax authorities. In estimating income taxes, management assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions, taking into account statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of the Company’s tax position. Although the Company uses the best available information to record income taxes, underlying estimates and assumptions can change over time as a result of unanticipated events or circumstances such as changes in tax laws and judicial guidance influencing its overall tax position.

An uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation process, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is the largest amount of benefit that is more than fifty percent likely to be sustained upon ultimate settlement of the uncertain tax position. If the initial assessment fails to result in recognition of a tax benefit, the Company subsequently recognizes a tax benefit if there are changes in tax law or case law that raise the likelihood of prevailing on the technical merits of the position to more-likely-than-not, the statute of limitations expires, or there is a completion of an examination resulting in a settlement of that tax year or position with the appropriate agency. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit) and penalties, if any, in other operating expenses.

Derivatives

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” All derivatives are evaluated at inception as to whether or not they are hedging or non-hedging activities, and appropriate documentation is maintained to support the final determination. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value.

Certain derivative transactions with a particular counterparty, another financial institution, are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The gross liabilities and gross assets to this counterparty are reported on a net basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)
 
Management periodically reviews contracts from various functional areas of the Company to identify potential derivatives embedded within selected contracts. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had interest rate derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. See Note 8 “Derivatives” for a description of these instruments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company enters into contractual loan commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Since a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Substantially all of the commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards until the time of loan funding. The Company decreases its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.

The Company assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establish a liability for probable credit losses. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company records a reserve in the amount considered adequate to absorb estimated losses. Since the Company has limited credit loss history, management performs an analysis of reserve rates for a peer group comprised of banks of similar size, loan portfolio composition and geographic footprint to which FCB, its board of directors, and analysts benchmark the Banks’ performance. This analysis involves calculating an average reserve rate for unfunded commitments using a rolling twelve quarter basis of the most recent data available. Based on this peer group analysis, FCB records a reserve for unfunded commitments calculated using a rate in line with peer banks.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company sponsors an incentive stock option plan established in 2009 (the “2009 Option Plan”) under which options may be granted periodically to key employees and directors of the Company or its affiliates at a specific exercise price to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Compensation cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date and is recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions as to the expected stock volatility, dividends, terms and risk-free rates. The expected volatility is based on the volatility of comparable peer banks. The expected term represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding from the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the appropriate life of each option. The expected dividend yield was determined by management based on the expected dividends to be declared over the expected term of the options.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company established the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) covering its executive management, directors, individual consultants and employees to receive stock awards for the Company’s common stock. The 2013 Incentive Plan provided that the awards were not exercisable until certain performance conditions were met, which included the completion of an IPO raising at least $100 million (a “Qualified IPO”) or a “Special Transaction”, generally defined as the consummation of a transaction representing a change of control of the Company. On August 6, 2014, the Company completed the initial public offering of 7,520,000 shares of Class A common stock for $22.00 per share. This public offering constituted a “Qualified IPO” with respect to the Company’s Option awards and 2013 Incentive Plan.

In 2016, the Company approved the FCB Financial Holdings, Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Incentive Plan”) covering its executive management, directors, individual consultants and employees. The 2016 Incentive Plan provides that awards may be granted under the plan with respect to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Common Stock, authorized and issued Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury or Common Stock acquired by the Company for the purposes of the Plan. See Note 14 “Stock-based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans” for further information regarding the 2009 Option Plan and the 2013 and 2016 Incentive Plans.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and unvested shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share in periods in which the effect is anti-dilutive.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates in one reportable segment of business, Community Banking, which includes the Bank, the Company’s sole banking subsidiary. Through the Bank, the Company provides a broad range of retail and commercial banking services. Management makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of these banking operations, which constitute the Company’s only operating segment.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Accounting Standards Codification. Under ASU No. 2014-09, revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the guidance, an entity should 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This guidance should be applied to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other standards. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The Company elected to adopt the new guidance under the modified retrospective approach. Since the Company’s revenue is comprised primarily of net interest income from financial instruments that are within the scope of other standards, including loans and securities, the new guidance did not have a material impact upon adoption. In addition, the adoption of this guidance did not result in any material changes to the method of revenue recognition on the components of noninterest income. Accordingly, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” The amendments in this ASU do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this ASU clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The amendments in this ASU do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which:
 

Requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
 
Simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value.
 
Eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.
 
Requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
 
Requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.
 
Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
 
Clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
 
An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the ASU. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. As of January 1, 2018, the Company had equity securities in a net pre-tax unrealized gain position of $1.6 million for which $1.0 million, the tax effected balance, was reclassified from other comprehensive income to beginning retained earnings at adoption.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of cash flows (Topic 230): Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments.” The objective of this guidance is to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. This ASU addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLIs) (including bank-owned life insurance policies (BOLIs)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” The objective of issuing this ASU is to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This prohibition on recognition is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP. As such, the Board decided that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this guidance eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The FASB is issuing this ASU to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments in this ASU will require all entities to account for the derecognition of a business or nonprofit activity in accordance with Topic 810. The amendments also eliminate several accounting differences between transactions involving assets and transactions involving businesses. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU provides clarity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, specifically relating to a modification of a share-based payment award. Entities should treat changes as modifications unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the modified awards are unchanged from the conditions immediately before the change. This ASU became effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-12 during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU seeks to help entities reclassify certain stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Reform Act), enacted on December 22, 2017. ASU 2018-02 was issued in response to concerns regarding current guidance in GAAP that requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even in situations in which the related income tax effects of items in accumulated other comprehensive income were originally recognized in other comprehensive income, rather than net income, and as a result the stranded tax effects would not reflect the appropriate tax rate. ASU 2018-02 allows an entity to make a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects, which is the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate of 35.0% and the newly enacted corporate income tax rate of 21.0%. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2018; however, public business entities are allowed to early adopt ASU 2018-02 in any interim period for which the financial statements have not yet been issued. ASU 2018-02 may be applied either at the beginning of the period (annual or interim) of adoption or retrospectively to each of the period(s) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. As a result of the re-measurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets following the enactment of the Tax Reform Act, accumulated other comprehensive income included $1.7 million of stranded tax effects at December 31, 2017. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-02 during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and made the election to reclassify the stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which created Topic 842, Leases, and supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Topic 842 specifies the accounting for leases. The core principal of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will result in the recognition of a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability and an immaterial impact in the results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit losses (Topic 326): Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.” Topic 326 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this ASU 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 ASU 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). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of this ASU. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected should continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption should be recorded in earnings when received. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this ASU modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including any interim periods within that reporting period where goodwill impairment tests are performed. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842.” This ASU provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842, existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date that the entity adopts Topic 842. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The amendments in this guidance affect the amendments in ASU 2016-02, which are not yet effective but may be early adopted. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-02. An entity that early adopted Topic 842 should apply the amendments in this ASU upon issuance. Management does not intend to early adopt this guidance. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments of this ASU expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” The amendments of this ASU provide another transition method for the adoption of the new leases standard. Currently, entities are required to adopt the new leases standard using a modified retrospective transition method. The amendments of this ASU provide another transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, this ASU also provides lessors a practical expedient to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component, similar to the expedient provided for lessees. The amendments related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in ASU 2016-02, which are not yet effective but can be early adopted. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this ASU, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU related to separating components of a contract are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-02. Management does not intend to early adopt this guidance. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments of this ASU modify the disclosure requirements about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements required under Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and require additional disclosures related to unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On March 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Floridian Community Holdings, Inc., (“Floridian”) the parent company of Floridian Community Bank and Floridian Custody Services, Inc. Under the terms of the acquisition, each share of Floridian common stock was converted into 0.4584 shares of FCB Class A common stock at the effective date. A total of 1,754,362 shares of FCB Class A common stock were issued to holders of Floridian common stock. The Company also paid cash of $7 thousand for fractional shares resulting from the application of the exchange ratio. In addition, the Company incurred a liability of $5.2 million related to Floridian’s outstanding stock options that were settled in cash subsequent to the acquisition. The Floridian acquisition (i) expanded the Company’s business within demographically attractive markets in southeast Florida; (ii) increased the Company’s core deposit base, an important funding source; and (iii) provided the opportunity to sell the Company’s broad array of products to Floridians’ client base, among other benefits. The results of operations were included in the Company’s results beginning on March 1, 2018, the date of acquisition. The fair value of the common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for Floridian was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on February 28, 2018. Floridian had total assets of $506.8 million, total liabilities of $465.8 million and operated 5 full-service branches in South Florida as of March 1, 2018. Goodwill of $58.3 million was recognized in the transaction. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company determined that the acquisition of Floridian constituted a business combination as defined by ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The acquisition was not considered to be a significant business combination. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. Fair values were determined in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. In many cases, the determination of fair value required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. The Company utilized the assistance of third-party advisors in the determination of fair value for loans, deposits, other real estate owned and deferred tax assets acquired.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company finalized its valuation of the Floridian acquisition.

The Company monitors its investment securities for OTTI. Impairment is evaluated on an individual security basis considering numerous factors, and their relative significance. The Company has evaluated the nature of unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio to determine if OTTI exists. The unrealized losses relate to changes in market interest rates and market conditions that do not represent credit-related impairments. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Management has completed an assessment of each security in an unrealized loss position for credit impairment and has determined that no individual security was other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018 or 2017. The following describes the basis under which the Company has evaluated OTTI:

 

U.S. Government Agencies and Sponsored Enterprises Obligations and Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”):

 

The unrealized losses associated with U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises obligations and agency MBS are primarily driven by changes in interest rates. These securities have either an explicit or implicit U.S. government guarantee.

 

Asset-Backed Securities and Corporate Bonds & Other Debt Securities:

 

Securities were generally underwritten in accordance with the Company’s investment standards prior to the decision to purchase, without relying on a bond issuer’s guarantee in making the investment decision. These investments are investment grade and will continue to be monitored as part of the Company’s ongoing impairment analysis, but are expected to perform in accordance with their terms.

 

Preferred Stock and Other Equity Securities:

 

The unrealized losses associated with preferred stock and other equity securities in large U.S. financial institutions are primarily driven by changes in interest rates and spreads. These securities were generally underwritten in accordance with the Company’s investment standards prior to the decision to purchase.

 

Gross realized gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are shown below. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

 

    Years Ended December 31,  
    2018     2017     2016  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
Gross realized gains   $ 147     $ 4,364     $ 3,645  
Gross realized losses     (3,661 )     (5,252 )     (2,066 )
Net realized gains (losses)   $ (3,514 )   $ (888 )   $ 1,579  

 

The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018. This guidance requires investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized as a component of noninterest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized $2.1 million of unrealized loss in noninterest income during the year ended December 31, 2018 related to equity securities.

 

NOTE 4. LOANS, NET

The accretable discount on ASC 310-30 loans represents the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows on such loans exceed their carrying value. The change in expected cash flow for certain ASC 310-30 loan pools resulted in the reclassification of $16.9 million, $(2.3) million and $(28.7) million between non-accretable and accretable discount during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Changes in accretable discount for ASC 310-30 loans were as follows:

NOTE 5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

 

The Company’s accounting method for loans and the corresponding ALL differs depending on whether the loans are New or Acquired. The Company assesses and monitors credit risk and portfolio performance using distinct methodologies for Acquired loans, both ASC 310-30 loans and Non-ASC 310-30 Loans, and New Loans. Within each of these portfolios, the Company further disaggregates the portfolios into the following segments: Commercial real estate, Owner-occupied commercial real estate, 1-4 single family residential, Construction, land and development, Home equity loans and lines of credit, Commercial and industrial and Consumer. The ALL reflects management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in each of the segments.

Credit Quality Indicators

 

In evaluating credit risk, the Company looks at multiple factors; however, management considers delinquency status to be the most meaningful indicator of the credit quality of 1-4 single family residential, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans. Delinquency statistics are updated at least monthly. Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for Non-ASC 310-30 and New commercial, construction, land and development and commercial real estate loans. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis.

Loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention and that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment capacity of the borrower, are categorized as special mention. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses including payment defaults, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, inadequate cash flow, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, past due real estate taxes or exhausted interest reserves, are assigned an internal risk rating of substandard. A loan with a weakness so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable will be assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES

 

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk related to borrowings that expose the Company to variability in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. The Company entered into a LIBOR-based forward interest rate swap that is designated as a cash flow hedge with the objective of limiting the variability of forecasted interest payment cash flows resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate LIBOR. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the related interest on the floating-rate borrowings affects earnings.

 

The Company is also a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts, such as swaps and caps, in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. The interest rate swaps that the Company enters into with customers allow the customers to convert variable rate loans to fixed rates. At the same time the interest rate swap is entered into with the customer, an offsetting interest rate swap is entered into with another financial institution. The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for any differences in the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by considering the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default of each counterparty. The Company recorded $12.5 million, $6.8 million and $4.4 million of derivative contract fees in noninterest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

 

In addition, the Company has entered into three risk participation agreements. The notional amount of the risk participation agreements sold was $34.1 million as of December 31, 2018. Assuming all underlying third party customers referenced in the swap agreements defaulted at December 31, 2018, there would be an immaterial amount of exposure to the Company. These risk participation agreements mature in 2021.

 

No credit changes in counterparty credit were identified. There was no change in the fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities attributable to credit risk included in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016.

NOTE 11. REGULATORY CAPITAL

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal regulatory agencies. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System establishes capital requirements, including well capitalized standards, for the Company, and the OCC has similar requirements for the Bank. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Banking regulations identify five capital categories for insured depository institutions: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, all capital ratios of the Company and the Bank exceeded the well capitalized levels under the applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines.

 

The ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends is subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions on the payment of cash dividends.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, at December 31, 2018 and 2017, that the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Expected volatility     24.7 %
Expected dividend yield     1.25 %
Expected term (years)     6.0  
Risk-free interest rate     1.37 %
Weighted average grant date fair value   $ 6.57  

 

The expected volatility is based on the volatility of comparable peer banks. The expected term represents the period of time that the 2013 Plan Option awards are expected to be outstanding from the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yields for the expected term of the instrument.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of the FCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Executive Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The EIP provides for Annual Incentive Awards and Long-Term Incentive Awards, both of which are subject to achievement of specified performance goals.

 

Annual Incentive Awards-The Compensation Committee approved Annual Awards under the EIP in respect to the Company’s Core Pre-Tax Profits for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Company recognized $6.0 million, $6.0 million, and $6.0 million of compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Long-Term Incentive Awards-The Compensation Committee granted a Long-Term Award of cash phantom units (“CPUs”) under the Long-Term Incentive component of the EIP which covered a three-year period ending December 31, 2017 (the “Performance Period”). The value of the award is determined by the Company’s common share price at the end of the performance period. Based on the estimated value of the award, the Company recognized $105 thousand and $377 thousand of compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016 respectively. No compensation expense was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2018. On January 2, 2018, upon conclusion of the Performance Period, it was determined by the Compensation Committee that the total award to be settled under this Long-Term Award plan be 103,456 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company.

 

On March 21, 2018, the Compensation Committee granted a Long-Term Award of cash phantom units (“CPUs”) under the Long-Term Incentive component of the EIP which covers a three-year period ending December 31, 2020 (the “Performance Period”). Granted under the award is a target of 18,050 CPUs and a maximum of 22,562 CPUs to a certain Executive. Each CPU is the equivalent in value of a share of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. The total target grant date fair value of the CPU Award was $1.0 million, up to a maximum of $1.3 million, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis as compensation expense over the requisite period ending December 31, 2020. The Company recognized $285 thousand of compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Management Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the FCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Management Long-Term Incentive Plan (“MLTIP”) for certain employees of the Company. The MLTIP provides participants the opportunity to receive a cash award that may be adjusted for the Company’s performance over a three year period ending on December 31, 2018.

 

The estimated award amount was recognized over the three year service period beginning on January 1, 2016. The Company recognized $833 thousand, $792 thousand and $1.1 million in compensation expense related to this plan for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

NOTE 15. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options, warrants and unvested shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in periods in which the effect is anti-dilutive.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had deferred tax assets for federal and state net operating losses of $5.0 million and $910 thousand, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are attributable to the acquisition of Great Florida Bank and are subject to an annual limitation. These deferred tax assets for net operating losses will expire in years 2028 through 2034.

 

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, both positive and negative, for each respective tax jurisdiction, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management believes the Company will realize the benefits from certain federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and as such, no valuation allowance is necessary.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as state income tax for Florida and New York.

 

The Company had no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with income taxes within other expenses. The Company did not incur interest or penalties associated with income taxes during the years end December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with its lending activities and to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to fund loans and lines of credit as well as commercial and standby letters of credit. These commitments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and market risk which are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for instruments recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Collateral is obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s credit risk.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $0.7 million as of December 31, 2018 and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2017.

 

Fees collected on off-balance sheet financial instruments represent the fair value of those commitments and are deferred and amortized over their term.

 

Financial Instruments Commitments


Unfunded commitments are as follows:

 

    December 31,  
    2018     2017  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
Commitments to fund loans   $ 1,043,453     $ 926,405  
Unused lines of credit     733,222       571,587  
Commercial and standby letters of credit     54,138       46,520  
Total   $ 1,830,813     $ 1,544,512  

 

Commitments to fund loans:

 

Commitments to fund loans are agreements to lend funds to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. To accommodate the financial needs of customers, the Company makes commitments under various terms to lend funds to consumers and businesses. Commitments to fund loans generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

 

The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral required in connection with a commitment to fund is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

 

Unused lines of credit:

 

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include commercial, commercial real estate, home equity and consumer lines of credit to existing customers. Some of these commitments may mature without being fully funded.

 

Commercial and standby letters of credit:

 

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit are primarily issued to support trade transactions or guarantee arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company, from time to time, is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, based upon advice of legal counsel, that no proceedings exist, either individually or in the aggregate, which, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities and the related fair value hierarchy, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs, minimize the use of unobservable inputs and use unobservable inputs to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from the lack of market liquidity, resulting in diminished observability of both actual trades and assumptions that would otherwise be available to value instruments, or the value of underlying collateral is not market observable. Although third party price indications may be available for an asset or liability, limited trading activity would make it difficult to support the observability of these quotations.

 

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy.

 

Investment Securities—Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, fair value is based on quoted prices for the identical security in an active market and as such, would be classified as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flows or matrix pricing models. Investment securities available for sale for which Level 1 valuations are not available are classified as Level 2 if the valuation incorporates primarily observable inputs. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises obligations and agency mortgage-backed securities; state and municipal obligations; asset-backed securities; and corporate debt and other securities. Pricing of these securities is generally spread driven.

 

Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these securities include benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, reported trades, dealer quotes, bids, issuer spreads, current rating, historical constant prepayment rates, historical voluntary prepayment rates, structural and waterfall features of individual securities, published collateral data, and for certain securities, historical constant default rates and default severities.

 

Interest Rate Derivatives—Interest rate derivatives are reported at estimated fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs and are included in other assets and other liabilities and consist of interest rate swaps and caps where there is no significant deterioration in the counterparties (loan customers) credit risk since origination of the interest rate swap or cap. The Company values its interest rate swap and cap positions using market prices provided by a third party which uses primarily observable market inputs. Interest rate derivatives are further described in Note 8 “Derivatives.”

 

For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, the Company evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as its own credit risk. Accordingly, the Company has considered factors such as the likelihood of default, expected loss given default, net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any estimated fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. The Company reviews counterparty exposure quarterly, and when necessary, appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the exposure.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016, the Company has not realized any losses due to a counterparty’s inability to pay any net uncollateralized position. As of December 31, 2018, there were no interest rate derivatives classified as Level 3.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into or out of a level of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no financial assets transferred from level 2 to level 1 of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was not a change in the methods or significant assumptions used to estimate fair value.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.

 

Impaired loans and OREO—The carrying amount of collateral dependent impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may be real estate or other business assets, less estimated costs to sell. The carrying value of OREO is initially measured based on the fair value, less estimated cost to sell, of the real estate acquired in foreclosure and subsequently adjusted to the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Fair values of real estate collateral are typically based on real estate appraisals which utilize market and income valuation techniques incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs. When current appraisals are not available, the Company may use brokers’ price opinions, home price indices, or other available information about changes in real estate market conditions to adjust the latest appraised value available. These adjustments to appraised values may be subjective and involve significant management judgment. The fair value of collateral consisting of other business assets is generally based on appraisals that use market approaches to valuation, incorporating primarily unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements related to collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

  

The following table shows significant unobservable inputs used in the non-recurring fair value measurement of level 3 assets and liabilities:

 

Level 3 Assets:   December 31, 2018     December 31, 2017     Valuation Technique     Unobservable Inputs     Range (Weighted Average)  
(Dollars in thousands)
Impaired loans   $ 16,798     $ 6,153     Third party appraisals and discounted cash flows   Collateral discounts and discount rates     0% - 100% (0.2%)  
Other real estate owned     10,243       14,906     Third party appraisals   Collateral discounts and estimated cost to sell     10 %

 

The following table provides information about certain assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

 

    Years Ended December 31,  
    2018     2017     2016  
    (Dollars in thousands)

Impaired loans   $ 9,237     $     $ 700  
Foreclosed real estate     1,232       670       1,219  

 

Impairment charges resulting from the non-recurring changes in fair value of underlying collateral of impaired loans are included in the provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment charges resulting from the non-recurring changes in fair value of OREO are included in other real estate and acquired assets resolution expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Certain financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. Financial instruments for which fair value approximates the carrying amount at December 31, 2018 and 2017, include cash and cash equivalents.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. Estimates may differ from actual exit value as defined by ASC Topic 820.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

 

FHLB and Other Bank Stock:

 

FHLB and other bank stock can be liquidated only by redemption by the issuer, as there is no market for these securities. These securities are carried at par, which has historically represented the redemption price and is therefore considered to approximate fair value.

 

Loans:

 

Fair values for loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers various factors, including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan, whether or not the loan was amortizing and current discount rates. Loans are grouped together according to similar characteristics and are treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable credit risk and include adjustments for liquidity concerns. The ALL is considered a reasonable estimate of the required adjustment to fair value to reflect the impact of credit risk.

 

Loans Held for Sale:

 

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

 

Bank-owned Life Insurance:

 

The Company holds life insurance policies on certain officers. The carrying value of these policies approximates fair value as it is based on the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or amounts due that are probable at settlement.

 

Deposits:

 

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis and using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Advances from the FHLB and Other Borrowings:

 

The fair value of advances from the FHLB and other borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar borrowings with similar remaining maturities could be obtained.

 

NOTE 20. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. As stated in Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, the implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under Topic 605.

 

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with financial guarantees, derivatives, transfers and servicing of loans and lease contracts are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges and deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income and sales of other real estate owned. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges and Fees

 

Service charges and fees consist of insufficient funds fees, continuous overdraft fees, monthly service charge fees, excessive transaction fees, stop payment fees and other deposit account related fees. Based on the Company’s review of the depository contracts and the nature of these fees, the Company grouped the service charges and deposit-related fees embedded in the contracts into two distinct categories, either transactional or non-transactional fees.

 

Transactional Fees

 

With respect to transactional fees, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of service. The depository contracts with our customers stipulate that we will continue to provide services until the contract is terminated. Each party can immediately terminate the contract without compensating the other party for the termination (that is, there is no termination penalty). Since the duration of the depository contract doesn’t extend beyond the services already provided because either party can cancel the contract without compensating the other party, the relationship is, in effect, a day-to-day contract. Because the contract doesn’t extend beyond the services performed, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of service as there is no future contract under which to allocate consideration.

 

Non-Transactional Fees

 

With respect to monthly non-transactional fees, the Company recognizes revenue each month if it is entitled to the fee because the customer did not meet one of the agreed-upon criteria. Because the contract term does not extend beyond the services already provided (either party can immediately terminate the depository contract without compensating the other party), the Company will not need to make estimates about future monthly fees from a customer. Instead, the Company will recognize revenue for the maintenance fee if the customer does not meet one of the criteria and it would not recognize revenue for the maintenance fee if the customer meets one of the criteria.

 

Other Noninterest Income

 

Other noninterest income consists of debit card swipe fees, foreign ATM fees, merchant services revenue, referral income, check printing fees, early withdraw fees, collection fees, wire transfer fees, gain (loss) on sale of other real estate owned, and other miscellaneous fees.

 

Debit card swipe fees are triggered by cardholder usage and are earned when the customer chooses “debit or credit” at the point of sale. The Bank receives a fee from the network (Interlink, STAR, and PLUS). The VISA international fee is earned when a customer uses a debit card overseas. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Referral fees are earned by either (i) matching a bank customer with a vendor’s credit card where the bank is paid a fee for each approved credit card application, or (ii) refer a customer to a third party for investment services. Check printing fees and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion.

 

The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if the Company financing is not at a market rate.
