NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Basis of Presentation
In this report, the words “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the combined entities of Southside Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Southside Bank. The words “Southside” and “Southside Bancshares” refer to Southside Bancshares, Inc. The words “Southside Bank” and “the Bank” refer to Southside Bank.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, not all information required by GAAP for complete financial statements is included in these interim statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of management’s estimates. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of judgment. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Accounting Changes and Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts may be reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Current Expected Credit Losses - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
We adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” on January 1, 2023, the effective date of the guidance, on a prospective basis. ASU 2022-02 eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Additionally, ASU 2022-02 requires an entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost.” ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide relief for companies preparing for discontinuation of interest rates based on LIBOR. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 also provides for a one-time sale and/or transfer to AFS or trading to be made for HTM debt securities that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020. ASU 2020-04 was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and through December 31, 2022. Companies can apply the ASU as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. The guidance requires companies to apply the guidance prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships while the one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as HTM may be made any time after March 12, 2020. Additionally, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which provided additional clarification that certain optional expedients and exceptions noted above apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” which was effective upon issuance and deferred the sunset date in Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. We established an officer level committee to guide our transition from LIBOR in October 2019 and are transitioning to alternative rates consistent with industry timelines. We continue to evaluate our LIBOR exposure. Our trust preferred subordinated debentures will transition to an adjusted SOFR index in accordance with the Federal Reserve final rule implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. Our cash flow hedges will transition to an adjusted SOFR index in accordance with the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol. We have identified our products that utilize LIBOR and have implemented enhanced fallback language to facilitate the transition to alternative reference rates. We have evaluated our systems and are offering alternative rates. We are no longer
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |10
offering LIBOR indexed rates on newly originated loans. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, we transfer securities from AFS to HTM due to overall balance sheet strategies. We did not transfer any securities from AFS to HTM during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We transferred securities from AFS to HTM with an estimated fair value of $1.25 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. The remaining net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in AOCI in the accompanying balance sheets totaled $117.6 million ($92.9 million, net of tax) at June 30, 2023 and $121.5 million ($96.0 million, net of tax) at December 31, 2022. Any net unrealized gain or loss on the transferred securities included in AOCI at the time of transfer will be amortized over the remaining life of the underlying security as an adjustment to the yield on those securities. Securities transferred with losses included in AOCI continue to be

For those AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position (i) where management has the intent to sell or (ii) where it will more-likely-than-not be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, we recognize the loss in earnings. For those AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet either of these criteria, management assesses whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit-related factors, using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Determining the allowance under the credit loss method requires the use of a discounted cash flow method to assess the credit losses. Any credit-related impairment will be recognized in allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Noncredit-related temporary impairment, the portion of the impairment relating to factors other than credit (such as changes in market interest rates), is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have an allowance for credit losses on our AFS securities, based on our consideration of the qualitative factors associated with each security type in our AFS portfolio. The unrealized losses on our investment and MBS are due to changes in interest rates and spreads and other market conditions. At June 30, 2023, we had 524 AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position. Our state and political subdivisions are highly rated municipal securities with a long history of no credit losses. Our AFS MBS are highly rated securities which are either explicitly or implicitly backed by the U.S. Government through its agencies which are highly rated by major ratings agencies and also have a long history of no credit losses. Our corporate bonds and other investment securities consist of investment grade bonds and private placement bonds.
We assess the likelihood of default and the potential amount of default when assessing our HTM securities for credit losses. We utilize term structures and, due to no prior loss exposure on our state and political subdivision securities or our corporate securities, we currently apply a third-party average loss given default rate to model these securities. We elected to use the specific identification method to model our HTM securities which aligns with our third-party fair value measurement process. The model determined any expected credit loss over the life of these securities to be insignificant. Management further evaluated the remote expectation of loss along with the qualitative factors associated with these securities and concluded that, due to the securities being highly rated municipals and investment grade corporates and private placement bonds with a long history of no credit losses, no credit loss should be recognized for these securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.
The accrued interest receivable on our debt securities is excluded from the credit loss estimate and is included in interest receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023, accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities totaled $16.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities totaled $16.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. No HTM debt securities were past-due or on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Expected maturities on our securities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. MBS are presented in total by category since MBS are typically issued with stated principal amounts and are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with varying maturities. The characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, such as fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the security holder. The term of a mortgage-backed pass-through security thus approximates the term of the underlying mortgages and can vary significantly due to prepayments.

Equity Investments
Equity investments on our consolidated balance sheets include Community Reinvestment Act funds with a readily determinable fair value as well as equity investments without readily determinable fair values. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had equity investments recorded in our consolidated balance sheets of $9.6 million and $11.2 million, respectively.
Any realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity investments are reported in income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less impairment, if any. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there was a net gain on the sale of equity securities of $2.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

FHLB Stock
Our FHLB stock, which has limited marketability, is carried at cost and is assessed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairment. Based upon evaluation by management at June 30, 2023, our FHLB stock was not impaired and thus was not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are classified as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Real estate loans: | | | |

Net loans | $ | 4,292,740 | | | $ | 4,111,176 | |
Construction Real Estate Loans
Our construction loans are collateralized by property located primarily in or near the market areas we serve. A number of our construction loans will be owner occupied upon completion. Construction loans for non-owner occupied projects are financed, but these typically have cash flows from leases with tenants, secondary sources of repayment, and in some cases, additional collateral. Our construction loans have both adjustable and fixed interest rates during the construction period. Construction loans to individuals are typically priced and made with the intention of granting the permanent loan on the completed property. Commercial construction loans are subject to underwriting standards similar to that of the commercial portfolio. Owner occupied 1-4 family residential construction loans are subject to the underwriting standards of the permanent loan.
1-4 Family Residential Real Estate Loans
Residential loan originations are generated by our loan officers, in-house origination staff, marketing efforts, present customers, walk-in customers and referrals from real estate agents and builders. We focus our lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner occupied 1-4 family residences. Substantially all of our 1-4 family residential originations are secured by properties located in or near our market areas.
Our 1-4 family residential loans generally have maturities ranging from 15 to 30 years. These loans are typically fully amortizing with monthly payments sufficient to repay the total amount of the loan. Our 1-4 family residential loans are made at both fixed and adjustable interest rates.
Underwriting for 1-4 family residential loans includes debt-to-income analysis, credit history analysis, appraised value and down payment considerations. Changes in the market value of real estate can affect the potential losses in the residential portfolio.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
Commercial real estate loans as of June 30, 2023 consisted of $1.73 billion of owner and non-owner occupied real estate, $338.1 million of loans secured by multi-family properties and $27.8 million of loans secured by farmland. Commercial real estate loans primarily include loans collateralized by retail, commercial office buildings, multi-family residential buildings, medical facilities and offices, senior living, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, warehouse facilities, hotels and churches. In determining whether to originate commercial real estate loans, we generally consider such factors as the financial condition of the borrower and the debt service coverage of the property. Commercial real estate loans are made at both fixed and adjustable interest rates for terms generally up to 20 years.
Commercial Loans
Our commercial loans are diversified loan types including short-term working capital loans for inventory and accounts receivable and short- and medium-term loans for equipment or other business capital expansion. In our commercial loan underwriting, we assess the creditworthiness, ability to repay and the value and liquidity of the collateral being offered. Terms of commercial loans are generally commensurate with the useful life of the collateral offered.
Municipal Loans
We make loans to municipalities and school districts primarily throughout the state of Texas, with a small percentage originating outside of the state. The majority of the loans to municipalities and school districts have tax or revenue pledges and
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |20
in some cases are additionally supported by collateral. Municipal loans made without a direct pledge of taxes or revenues are usually made based on some type of collateral that represents an essential service. Lending money directly to these municipalities allows us to earn a higher yield than we could if we purchased municipal securities for similar durations.
Loans to Individuals
Substantially all originations of our loans to individuals are made to consumers in our market areas. The majority of loans to individuals are collateralized by titled equipment, which are primarily automobiles. Loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. The underwriting standards we employ for consumer loans include an application, a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts, with the greatest weight being given to payment history with us and an assessment of the borrower’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. Most of our loans to individuals are collateralized, which management believes assists in limiting our exposure.
Credit Quality Indicators
We categorize loans into risk categories on an ongoing basis based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. We use the following definitions for risk ratings:
•Pass (Rating 1 – 4) – This rating is assigned to all satisfactory loans. This category, by definition, consists of acceptable credit. Credit and collateral exceptions should not be present, although their presence would not necessarily prohibit a loan from being rated Pass, if deficiencies are in the process of correction. These loans are not included in the Watch List.
•Pass Watch (Rating 5) – These loans require some degree of special treatment, but not due to credit quality. This category does not include loans specially mentioned or adversely classified; however, particular attention is warranted to characteristics such as:
▪A lack of, or abnormally extended payment program;
▪A heavy degree of concentration of collateral without sufficient margin;
▪A vulnerability to competition through lesser or extensive financial leverage; and
▪A dependence on a single or few customers or sources of supply and materials without suitable substitutes or alternatives.
•Special Mention (Rating 6) – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in our credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose us to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
•Substandard (Rating 7) – Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
•Doubtful (Rating 8) – Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation, in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Total nonperforming assets | $ | 3,059 | | | $ | 10,862 | |
(1) Includes $314,000 and $897,000 of restructured loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(2) Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2022-02, effective January 1, 2023, we prospectively discontinued the recognition and measurement guidance previously required on troubled debt restructures. As a result, “restructured” loans as of March 31, 2023 exclude any loan modifications that are performing but would have previously required disclosure as troubled debt restructures.
We reversed $11,000 and $30,000 of interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and $24,000 and $35,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. We had $1.2 million and $1.6 million of loans on nonaccrual for which there was no related allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Collateral-dependent loans are loans that we expect the repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral of the loan and we have determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for selling costs. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $7.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of collateral-dependent loans, secured mainly by real estate and equipment. There have been no significant changes to the collateral that secures the collateral-dependent assets. Foreclosed assets include OREO and repossessed assets. For 1-4 family residential real estate properties, a loan is recognized as a foreclosed property once legal title to the real estate property has been received upon completion of foreclosure or the borrower has conveyed all interest in the residential property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. There were $54,000 loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process as of June 30, 2023. There were no loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process as of December 31, 2022.
Restructured Loans
Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023, we prospectively discontinued the recognition and measurement of TDRs. This guidance eliminated TDR accounting for loans in which the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor granted a concession. See “Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
A loan is now considered restructured if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the loan has been modified. Modifications may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. We may provide a combination of modifications which may include an extension of the amortization period, interest rate reduction and/or converting the loan to interest-only for a limited period of time. In most instances, interest will continue to be charged on principal balances outstanding during the extended term. Therefore, the financial effects of the recorded investment of loans restructured during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were not significant.

There were two commercial loans totaling $314,000 that were restructured with an extension of amortization period as of June 30, 2023 and are included in our nonaccrual loans in nonperforming assets.
On an ongoing basis, the performance of the restructured loans is monitored for subsequent payment default. Payment default is recognized when the borrower is 90 days or more past due. As of June 30, 2023, there were no restructured loans in default. Payment defaults for restructured loans did not significantly impact the determination of the allowance for loan losses in the periods presented. At June 30, 2023, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans had been restructured.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our hedging policy allows the use of interest rate derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk or hedge specified assets and liabilities. These instruments may include interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors. All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value and are recorded in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate.
Derivative instruments may be designated as cash flow hedges of variable rate assets or liabilities, cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, fair value hedges of a recognized asset or liability or as non-hedging instruments. Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI to the extent they are effective. If the hedge is effective, the amount recorded in other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings in the same periods that the hedged cash flows impact earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value is reported in current earnings. Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, as well as the change in fair value on the hedged item, are recorded in interest income in the consolidated statements of income. Gains and losses due to changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements completely offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the hedged item. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.
We have entered into certain interest rate swap contracts on specific variable rate agreements and fixed rate short-term pay agreements with third-parties. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815. The objective of the interest rate swap contracts is to manage the expected future cash flows on $760.0 million of Bank liabilities. The cash flows from the swap contracts are expected to be effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the underlying LIBOR interest rate or SOFR rate.
In accordance with ASC Topic 815, if a hedging item is terminated prior to maturity for a cash settlement, the existing gain or loss within AOCI will continue to be reclassified into earnings during the period or periods in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings unless it is probable the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. These transactions are reevaluated on a monthly basis to determine if the hedged forecasted transactions are still probable of occurring. If at a subsequent evaluation, it is determined that the transactions will not occur, any related gains or losses recorded in AOCI are immediately recognized in earnings. During the second quarter of 2023, we terminated one interest rate swap contract designated as a cash flow hedge. At the time of termination, we determined the underlying hedged forecasted transactions were still probable of occurring. The existing loss in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings in the same periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
During 2022, we entered into partial term fair value hedges, as allowed under ASU 2017-12, for certain of our fixed rate callable AFS municipal securities. The instruments are designated as fair value hedges as the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are expected to offset changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the SOFR swap rate, the designated benchmark interest rate. As of June 30, 2023, hedged securities with a carrying amount of $661.1 million are included in our AFS securities portfolio in our consolidated balance sheets. These derivative contracts involve the receipt of floating rate interest from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional value. The change in the fair value of these hedging instruments is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transactions affects earnings. During the second quarter of 2023, we terminated some of our fair value hedging relationships and sold the hedged items. As a result of the sale, the cumulative adjustments to the carrying amount was a fair value gain recognized in earnings and recorded in noninterest income.
From time to time, we may enter into certain interest rate swaps, cap and floor contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These interest rate derivative contracts relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap, cap or floor with a customer while concurrently entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, cap or floor with a third-party financial institution. We agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay a third-party financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These interest rate derivative contracts allow our customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate loan. The changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts primarily offset each other and do not significantly impact our results of operations. We recognized swap fee income associated with these derivative contracts immediately based upon the difference in the bid/ask spread of the underlying transactions with the customer and the third-party financial institution. The swap fee income is included in other noninterest income in our consolidated statements of income.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, net derivative assets included $78.3 million and $82.1 million, respectively, of cash collateral received from counterparties under master netting agreements.
The notional amounts of the derivative instruments represent the contractual cash flows pertaining to the underlying agreements. These amounts are not exchanged and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are presented at net in other assets and other liabilities and in the net change in each of these financial

statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows when a right of offset exists, based on transactions with a single counterparty that are subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement.

(1) Notional amounts, which represent the extent of involvement in the derivatives market, are used to determine the contractual cash flows required in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These amounts are typically not exchanged, significantly exceed amounts subject to credit or market risk and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Net derivative assets are included in other assets and net derivative liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Included in the fair value of net derivative assets and net derivative liabilities are credit valuation adjustments reflecting counterparty credit risk and our credit risk. We had $9.4 million credit exposure related to interest rate swaps with financial institutions and none related to interest rate swaps with customers at June 30, 2023. We had no credit exposure related to interest rate swaps with financial institutions and none related to interest rate swaps with customers at December 31, 2022. The credit risk associated with customer transactions is partially mitigated as these are generally secured by the non-cash collateral securing the underlying transaction being hedged.
The summarized expected weighted average remaining maturity of the notional amount of interest rate swaps and the weighted average interest rates associated with the amounts expected to be received or paid on interest rate swap agreements are presented below (dollars in thousands).

10. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
Valuation techniques including the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach are utilized to determine fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation policies and procedures are determined by our investment department and reported to our ALCO for review. An entity must consider all aspects of nonperforming risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. A fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Securities AFS and Equity Investments with readily determinable fair values – U.S. Treasury securities and equity investments with readily determinable fair values are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. Other securities classified as AFS are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For most of these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services and obtain an understanding of the pricing methodologies used by these independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things, as stated in the pricing methodologies of the independent pricing services.
We review and validate the prices supplied by the independent pricing services for reasonableness by comparison to prices obtained from, in some cases, two additional third-party sources. For securities where prices are outside a reasonable range, we further review those securities, based on internal ALCO approved procedures, to determine what a reasonable fair value measurement is for those securities, given available data.
Derivatives – Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. We obtain fair value measurements from two sources including an independent pricing service and the counterparty to the derivatives designated as hedges. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information and the derivatives’ terms and conditions, among other things. We review the prices supplied by the sources for reasonableness. In addition, we obtain a basic understanding of their underlying pricing methodology. We validate prices supplied by the sources by comparison to one another.
Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include reporting units measured at fair value and tested for goodwill impairment.
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |33
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which means that the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis included foreclosed assets and collateral-dependent loans at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Foreclosed Assets – Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell. The fair value measurements of foreclosed assets can include Level 2 measurement inputs such as real estate appraisals and comparable real estate sales information, in conjunction with Level 3 measurement inputs such as cash flow projections, qualitative adjustments and sales cost estimates. As a result, the categorization of foreclosed assets is Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In connection with the measurement and initial recognition of certain foreclosed assets, we may recognize charge-offs through the allowance for credit losses.
Collateral-Dependent Loans – Certain loans may be reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected substantially from the operation or sale of the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria or appraisals. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the impact of the fair value of collateral-dependent loans was reflected in our allowance for loan losses.
The fair value estimate of financial instruments for which quoted market prices are unavailable is dependent upon the assumptions used. Consequently, those estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented in the fair value tables do not necessarily represent their underlying value.

Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, is required when it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other estimation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Such techniques and assumptions, as they apply to individual categories of our financial instruments, are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of those assets’ fair value.
Investment and MBS HTM – Fair values for these securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities or estimates from independent pricing services.
FHLB stock – The carrying amount of FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of the fair value of those assets.
Equity investments – The carrying value of equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. This carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value of those assets.
Loans receivable – We estimate the fair value of our loan portfolio to an exit price notion with adjustments for liquidity, credit and prepayment factors. Nonperforming loans continue to be estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or the underlying value of the collateral where applicable.
Loans held for sale – The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based on expected proceeds, which are based on sales contracts and commitments.
Deposit liabilities – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount on demand at the reporting date, which is the carrying value. Fair values for fixed rate CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other borrowings – Federal funds purchased generally have original terms to maturity of one day and repurchase agreements generally have terms of less than one year, and therefore both are considered short-term borrowings. Consequently, their carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Borrowings from the Federal Reserve through the FRDW and BTFP have original maturities of one year or less, and the fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates at which borrowings would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
FHLB borrowings – The fair value of these borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates at which borrowings would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Subordinated notes – The fair value of the subordinated notes is estimated by discounting future cash flows using estimated rates at which long-term debt would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the remaining maturities.
Trust preferred subordinated debentures – The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows using estimated rates at which long-term debt would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the remaining maturities.

11. Income Taxes
The income tax expense included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income consists of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2023 | | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2022 |
Current income tax expense | | $ | 4,690 | | | $ | 2,939 | | | $ | 9,427 | | | $ | 5,800 | |
Deferred income tax expense (benefit) | | (122) | | | 358 | | | (316) | | | 643 | |
Income tax expense | | $ | 4,568 | | | $ | 3,297 | | | $ | 9,111 | | | $ | 6,443 | |
The net deferred tax asset totaled $29.2 million at June 30, 2023 as compared to $34.7 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset is primarily the result of a decrease in unrealized losses in the AFS securities portfolio. No valuation allowance was recorded at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, as management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset items will be realized in future years. Unrecognized tax benefits were not material at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
We recognized income tax expense of $4.6 million and $9.1 million for an ETR of 15.5% and 15.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $3.3 million and $6.4 million, for an ETR of 11.5% and 11.3%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The higher ETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in net tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income as compared to the same period in 2022. The ETR differs from the statutory rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from municipal loans and securities, as well as BOLI. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions and in certain states. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019 or Texas state tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

12. Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk. In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These off-balance-sheet instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reflected in the financial statements. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement and exposure to credit loss that we have in these particular classes of financial instruments. The allowance for credit losses on these off-balance-sheet credit exposures is calculated using the same methodology as loans including a conversion or usage factor to anticipate ultimate exposure and expected losses and is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
Allowance for off-balance-sheet credit exposures were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2023 | | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2022 |
| | | | | | | |
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 3,559 | | | $ | 2,412 | | | $ | 3,687 | | | $ | 2,384 | |
| | | | | | | |
Provision for (reversal of) off-balance-sheet credit exposures | (352) | | | (521) | | | (480) | | | (493) | |
Balance at end of period | $ | 3,207 | | | $ | 1,891 | | | $ | 3,207 | | | $ | 1,891 | |
Contractual commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided the terms established in the contract are met. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates and may require the payment of fees. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in commitments to extend credit and similarly do not necessarily represent future cash obligations.
Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
| | | |
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 1,240,994 | | | $ | 1,296,773 | |
Standby letters of credit | 12,646 | | | 26,844 | |
Total | $ | 1,253,640 | | | $ | 1,323,617 | |
We apply the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of our consolidated financial condition, changes in our financial condition and results of our operations, and should be read and reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements, and the notes thereto, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our First Quarter Form 10-Q and in our 2022 Form 10-K. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A. of the 2022 Form 10-K, “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. of the First Quarter Form 10-Q and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements of other than historical fact that are contained in this report may be considered to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of and subject to the safe harbor protections of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, nor should they be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. These statements may include words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “appear,” “believe,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “probability,” “risk,” “goal,” “target,” “objective,” “plans,” “potential,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, expectations, objectives, goals, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions and future performance and are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For example, discussions of the effect of our expansion, benefits of the Share Repurchase Plan, trends in asset quality, capital, liquidity, our ability to sell nonperforming assets, expense reductions, planned operational efficiencies and earnings from growth and certain market risk disclosures, including the impact of interest rates, tax reform, inflation, the impacts related to or resulting from other economic factors are based upon information presently available to management and are dependent on choices about key model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. Accordingly, our results could materially differ from those that have been estimated. The most significant factor that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, higher interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and additional interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
•general (i) political conditions, including, without limitation, governmental action and uncertainty resulting from U.S. and global political trends and (ii) economic conditions, either globally, nationally, in the State of Texas, or in the specific markets in which we operate, including, without limitation, the deterioration of the commercial real estate, residential real estate, construction and development, energy, oil and gas, credit or liquidity markets, which could cause an adverse change in our net interest margin, or a decline in the value of our assets, which could result in realized losses, as well as the risk of an economic slowdown or recession;
•current or future legislation, regulatory changes or changes in monetary or fiscal policy that adversely affect the businesses in which we or our customers or our borrowers are engaged, including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve’s actions to increase interest rates, the capital requirements promulgated by the Basel Committee, the CARES Act, the Economic Aid Act, the discontinuation of interest rates based on LIBOR and other regulatory responses to economic conditions;
•economic or other disruptions caused by acts of terrorism, war or other conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, freezes, flooding and other man-made disasters, such as oil spills or power outages, health emergencies, epidemics or pandemics, climate changes or other catastrophic events;
•potential impacts of the recent adverse developments in the banking industry highlighted by high-profile bank failures, including impacts on customer confidence, deposit outflows, liquidity and the regulatory response thereto;
•technological changes, including potential cyber-security incidents and other disruptions, or innovations to the financial services industry, including as a result of the increased telework environment;

•our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, malware, “denial of service” attacks, “hacking” and identity theft, which could disrupt our business and result in the disclosure of and/or misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, disruption or damage of our systems, increased costs, significant losses, or adverse effects to our reputation;
•changes in the interest rate yield curve such as flat, inverted or steep yield curves, or changes in the interest rate environment that impact net interest margins and may impact prepayments on our MBS portfolio;
•the risk that our enterprise risk management framework, compliance program or our corporate governance and supervisory oversight functions may not identify or address risks adequately, which may result in unexpected losses;

All written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or attributable to us are expressly qualified by this cautionary notice. We disclaim any obligation to update any factors or to announce publicly the result of revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments, unless otherwise required by law.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our accounting and reporting estimates conform with U.S. GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We consider accounting estimates that can (1) be replaced by other reasonable estimates and/or (2) changes to an estimate from period to period that have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations as well as (3) those estimates that require significant and complex assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain to be critical accounting estimates. We consider our critical accounting policies to include allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance-sheet credit exposure.
Critical accounting estimates include a high degree of uncertainty in the underlying assumptions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed relevant. The development, selection and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Actual results could differ from these estimates. For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to “Part II – Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates,” “Part II – Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses – Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures,” “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies,” “Note 5 – Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Note 17 – Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contingencies” in the 2022 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. These include the following fully taxable-equivalent measures: Net interest income (FTE), net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE), which include the effects of taxable-equivalent adjustments using a federal income tax rate of 21% to increase tax-exempt interest income to a tax-equivalent basis. Interest income earned on certain assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments.
Net interest income (FTE), net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE). Net interest income (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments and is not permitted under GAAP in the consolidated statements of income. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income, and that it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income. Net interest margin (FTE) is the ratio of net interest income (FTE) to average earning assets. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest margin. Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference in the average yield on average earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis and the average rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest spread.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. Whenever we present a non-GAAP financial measure in an SEC filing, we are also required to present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and reconcile the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and such comparable GAAP measure.
In the following table we present the reconciliation of net interest income to net interest income adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis assuming a 21% marginal tax rate for interest earned on tax-exempt assets such as municipal loans and investment securities (dollars in thousands), along with the calculation of net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE).

Management believes adjusting net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread to a fully taxable-equivalent basis is a standard practice in the banking industry as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Tax-equivalent adjustments are reported in the respective earning asset categories as listed in the “Average Balances with Average Yields and Rates” tables under Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The economic conditions and growth prospects for our markets, even against the headwinds of inflation and potential recessionary concerns, continue to reflect a solid and positive overall outlook. Worker shortages, supply chain disruptions, higher interest rates and inflationary conditions, have had some impact on the level of economic growth in our market areas. Ongoing higher inflation and interest rates could have a negative impact on both our consumer and commercial borrowers. Despite these conditions, overall, Texas continues to experience economic growth due to company relocations and expansions, combined with overall population growth.
DEPOSITS
Our deposits decreased $80.3 million, or 1.3%, to $6.12 billion at June 30, 2023 from $6.20 billion at December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, we had 180,865 total deposit accounts with an average balance of $30,000. At June 30, 2023, our deposit accounts consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

We continued to increase interest rates paid on deposits during the quarter in order to retain deposits. Our noninterest bearing deposits represent 24.0% of total deposits. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, our cost of interest bearing deposits increased 164 basis points from 0.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 2.03%. Our cost of total deposits for the second quarter of 2023 increased 122 basis points from 0.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 1.50%.

Our cost of total deposits increased 117 basis points, from 0.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to 1.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our capital ratios and contingent liquidity sources remain solid. We utilized the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program to reduce our overall funding costs and to enhance our interest rate risk position. As of June 30, 2023, our BTFP borrowings of $296.2 million were at a cost of 4.46%.

Operating Results
Net income decreased $512,000, or 2.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to $24.9 million compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of the $2.9 million increase in noninterest expense and the $1.3 million increase in income tax expense, partially offset by the $2.8 million increase in net interest income and a $1.4 million increase in noninterest income. Earnings per diluted common share increased $0.02, or 2.5%, to $0.81 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.79 for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our net income increased $526,000, or 1.0%, to $50.9 million compared to $50.4 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in net income was largely driven by the $7.3 million increase in net interest income and the $2.7 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by the $6.5 million increase in noninterest expense and the $2.7 million increase in income tax expense. Earnings per diluted common share increased $0.08, or 5.1%, to $1.64 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.56 for the same period in 2022.
Financial Condition
Our total assets increased $248.6 million, or 3.3%, to $7.81 billion at June 30, 2023 from $7.56 billion at December 31, 2022. Our securities portfolio increased by $22.6 million, or 0.9%, to $2.65 billion, compared to $2.63 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in the securities portfolio was due to purchases of three-month U.S. Treasury Bills, partially offset by a decrease in MBS and municipal bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our FHLB stock increased $1.6 million, or 17.5%, to $10.8 million from $9.2 million at December 31, 2022, due to the increase in our FHLB borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2023, increasing the amount of FHLB stock we are required to hold.
Loans at June 30, 2023 were $4.33 billion, an increase of $181.4 million, or 4.4%, compared December 31, 2022, due to increases of $112.6 million in commercial real estate loans, $97.7 million in construction loans and $21.4 million in 1-4 family residential loans. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $28.3 million in commercial loans, $14.9 million in municipal loans and $7.1 million in loans to individuals. Loans held for sale increased $1.0 million, or 149.8%, to $1.7 million at June 30, 2023 from $667,000 at December 31, 2022.
Our nonperforming assets at June 30, 2023 decreased $7.8 million, or 71.8%, to $3.1 million and represented 0.04% of total assets, compared to $10.9 million, or 0.14% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. Nonaccruing loans increased $171,000, or 6.0%, to $3.0 million, and the ratio of nonaccruing loans to total loans was 0.07% for June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There were no restructured loans at June 30, 2023 compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in restructured loans was due to the adoption of ASU 2022-22 on January 1, 2023, which allowed for the prospective exclusion of loan modifications that are performing, but would have previously required disclosure as troubled debt restructures in
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |46
nonperforming assets. There was $42,000 and $74,000 of repossessed assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. There was no OREO at June 30, 2023 compared with $93,000 at December 31, 2022.
Our deposits decreased $80.3 million, or 1.3%, to $6.12 billion at June 30, 2023 from $6.20 billion at December 31, 2022, which consisted of a decrease of $204.8 million in noninterest bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase of $124.5 million in interest bearing deposits, which included an increase in our brokered deposits of $110.8 million, or 16.8%, as the funding of our cash flow hedge swaps partially transitioned from FHLB advances to brokered deposits to obtain lower cost funding.
Total FHLB borrowings increased $29.6 million, or 19.3%, to $183.0 million at June 30, 2023 from $153.4 million at December 31, 2022.
Our total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2023 increased 2.6%, or $19.2 million, to $765.2 million, or 9.8% of total assets, compared to $746.0 million, or 9.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was the result of net income of $50.9 million, other comprehensive income of $21.8 million, stock compensation expense of $1.8 million, common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan of $601,000 and net issuance of common stock under employee stock plans of $413,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in shareholders’ equity, including the repurchase of $34.7 million of our common stock and cash dividends paid of $21.7 million.
Key financial indicators management follows include, but are not limited to, numerous interest rate sensitivity and interest rate risk indicators, credit risk, operations risk, liquidity risk, capital risk, regulatory risk, inflation risk, competition risk, yield curve risk, U.S. agency MBS prepayment risk and economic risk indicators.

Balance Sheet Strategy
Determining the appropriate size of the balance sheet is one of the critical decisions any bank makes. Our balance sheet is not merely the result of a series of micro-decisions, but rather the size is controlled based on the economics of assets compared to the economics of funding and funding sources. Changing interest rate environments and economic conditions require that we monitor the interest rate sensitivity of the assets, the funding driving our growth and closely align ALCO objectives accordingly.
Due to the events in the banking industry during the first quarter of 2023, we increased the balance of securities pledged as collateral at the FRDW in preparation for potential liquidity needs and utilized the BTFP as a source of wholesale funding to reduce interest cost and interest rate risk. We ended the second quarter of 2023 with approximately $594.3 million in available liquidity between the FRDW and the BTFP in addition to the approximately $1.80 billion credit line available from FHLB due primarily to the blanket lien on our loan portfolio and to a lesser extent, securities available as collateral. At June 30, 2023, the estimated deposits, without insurance or collateral, to total deposits, excluding affiliate deposits (Southside-owned deposits) was 21.4%, or $1.31 billion.
During the first half of 2023, we entered into $350 million of additional cash flow hedge swaps, $100 million of which were terminated in the second quarter. The funding related to the terminated cash flow hedge swap was at the FRDW at the end of the second quarter. The remaining $250 million are funded by brokered deposits. We also replaced $30 million of brokered deposits with FHLB advances as the funding source for cash flow hedge swaps, bringing this funding source to $180 million. At June 30, 2023, brokered deposits funded $580 million of our $760 million remaining cash flow hedge swaps. As of June 30, 2023, a pre-tax unrealized gain of $38.5 million was recognized in other comprehensive income, and there was no ineffective portion of these hedges. We continue to evaluate the lowest cost alternative funding sources for our cash flow swaps and will use either brokered deposits, FHLB advances or FRDW borrowings, or a combination of the three funding sources. During 2020 and 2021, management utilized the significant increase in non-maturity deposits, net of brokered deposits, to reduce dependence on more interest rate sensitive and higher cost wholesale funding. At June 30, 2023, the majority of the securities portfolio was funded by non-maturity deposits with wholesale funding accounting for approximately 50% of the funding source, of which approximately 56% is swapped at a fixed rate, providing protection from rising interest rates.
We utilize wholesale funding and securities to enhance overall profitability to determine the appropriate leverage of our capital, determining acceptable levels of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk consistent with prudent capital management. This balance sheet strategy currently consists of borrowing funds from the brokered market, FHLB and the Federal Reserve through the FRDW and BTFP. These funds are invested primarily in U.S. agency MBS and long-term municipal securities and to a lesser extent, U.S. Treasury Bills and corporate securities. Although U.S. agency MBS often carry lower yields than loans we make, these securities generally (i) increase the overall quality of our assets because of either the implicit or explicit guarantees of the U.S. Government, (ii) are more liquid than individual loans and (iii) may be used to collateralize our borrowings or other obligations.
Risks associated with this asset structure include a potentially lower net interest rate spread and margin when compared to our peers, changes in the slope of the yield curve, increased interest rate risk, the length of interest rate cycles, changes in volatility or spreads associated with the MBS, municipal and corporate securities, the unpredictable nature of MBS prepayments and credit risks associated with the municipal and corporate securities. See “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business” in the 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of risks related to interest rates. An additional risk is significant increases in interest rates, especially long-term interest rates, which could adversely impact the fair value of the AFS securities portfolio and could also impact our equity capital. Due to the unpredictable nature of MBS prepayments, the length of interest rate cycles and the slope of the interest rate yield curve, net interest income could fluctuate more than simulated under the scenarios modeled by our ALCO and described under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our securities portfolio increased from $2.63 billion at December 31, 2022 to $2.65 billion at June 30, 2023. The increase in the securities portfolio was due to securities purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which more than offset sales of securities and principal payments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the composition of the securities portfolio continued to change as U.S. Treasury Bills increased while the remaining categories in the portfolio decreased. The decrease in MBS was attributable to sales of U.S. Agency MBS and principal payments, partially offset by MBS purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we purchased $592.6 million in three-month U.S. Treasury Bills, $118.9 million in MBS and $5.8 million in investment grade subordinated corporate debt. Sales during the six months ended June 30, 2023, included $205.7 million in municipal securities, $298.2 million in U.S. Treasury Bills and $175.5 million in MBS to align the investment portfolio with the current balance sheet strategy. Sales of AFS securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, resulted in a net realized loss of $3.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, which was partially offset by the sale of equity securities that resulted in a net gain of $2.6 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

At June 30, 2023, securities as a percentage of assets totaled 33.9%, compared to 34.7% at December 31, 2022, due to a $22.6 million, or 0.9%, increase in the securities portfolio. Our balance sheet management strategy is dynamic and is continually evaluated as market conditions warrant.
During the year ended 2022, we entered into partial term fair value hedges for certain of our fixed rate callable AFS municipal securities. The instruments are designated as fair value hedges as the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are expected to offset changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the SOFR swap rate, the designated benchmark interest rate. As of June 30, 2023, hedged securities with a carrying amount of $661.1 million are included in our AFS securities portfolio in our consolidated balance sheets representing approximately 49% and 86% of the AFS securities portfolio and the AFS municipal portfolio, respectively. These derivative contracts involve the receipt of floating rate interest from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional value. As of June 30, 2023, a pre-tax unrealized gain of $27.9 million was recognized in other comprehensive income, and there was no ineffective portion of these hedges.
With respect to funding sources, we primarily utilize deposits and to a lesser extent wholesale funding to achieve our strategy of minimizing cost while achieving overall interest rate risk objectives as well as the liability management objectives of the ALCO. Our primary wholesale funding sources are brokered deposits, FHLB and borrowings from the Federal Reserve through the FRDW and BTFP. Our FHLB borrowings increased 19.3%, or $29.6 million, to $183.0 million at June 30, 2023 from $153.4 million at December 31, 2022.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our total wholesale funding as a percentage of deposits, not including brokered deposits, increased to 25.2%, from 18.1% at December 31, 2022, and 15.1% at June 30, 2022.
Our brokered deposits consist of CDs and non-maturity deposits. Our brokered CDs decreased $72.0 million, or 32.6%, from $220.9 million at December 31, 2022 to $148.9 million at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, our brokered CDs had a weighted average cost of 516 basis points and remaining maturities of approximately 3 months or less. Our brokered non-maturity deposits increased to $621.2 million at June 30, 2023, of which $580.0 million are related to our cash flow hedges, from $438.4 million at December 31, 2022, with a weighted average cost of 259 basis points and 126 basis points, respectively. Our wholesale funding policy currently allows for maximum brokered deposits of $1.41 billion, with an additional $100 million of flexibility for deposits maturing within 30 days. Potential higher interest expense and lack of customer loyalty are risks associated with the use of brokered deposits.
In connection with $760.0 million of our wholesale funds, the Bank has entered into various variable rate agreements and fixed or variable rate short-term pay agreements with an interest rate tied to three-month LIBOR, one-month LIBOR or overnight SOFR. In connection with $760.0 million and $575.0 million of the agreements outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the Bank also entered into various interest rate swap contracts that are treated as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” that are expected to be effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the underlying LIBOR or SOFR interest rate. The interest rate swap contracts had an average interest rate of 2.07% with a remaining average weighted maturity of 2.6 years at June 30, 2023. Refer to “Note 11 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” in our consolidated financial statements included in this report for a detailed description of our hedging policy and methodology related to derivative instruments.

Results of Operations
Our results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on assets (loans and investments) and interest expense due on our funding sources (deposits and borrowings) during a particular period. Results of operations are also affected by our noninterest income, provision for credit losses, noninterest expenses and income tax expense. General economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, changes in interest rate yield curves, prepayment rates of MBS and loans, repricing of loan relationships, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities also significantly affect our results of operations. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may also have a material impact on us.
The following table presents net interest income for the periods presented (in thousands):

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is one of the principal sources of a financial institution’s earnings stream and represents the difference or spread between interest and fee income generated from interest earning assets and the interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Fluctuations in interest rates or interest rate yield curves, as well as repricing characteristics and volume and changes in the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, materially impact net interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Federal Reserve increased the target federal funds rate by 75 basis points to 525 basis points and has indicated it anticipates additional rate increases during the remainder of 2023. The increase in the federal funds rate has increased our net interest income. However, as the federal funds rate increases further and the yield curve remains inverted, it may be less beneficial to our net interest income.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $2.8 million, or 5.6%, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was due to the increase in interest income, a result of the increase in the average yield as well as the average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities due to higher interest rates and an increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities. Total interest income increased $29.8 million, or 52.1%, to $86.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $57.1 million during the same period in 2022. Total interest expense increased $26.9 million, or 447.3%, to $33.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2022. Our net interest margin and net interest margin (FTE), a non-GAAP measure, decreased to 2.99% and 3.17%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.07% and 3.30%, respectively, for the same period in 2022, and our net interest spread and net interest spread (FTE), also a non-GAAP measure, decreased to 2.37% and 2.55%, respectively, compared to 2.91% and 3.14%, respectively, for the same period in 2022.
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |50
Net interest income was $107.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $100.0 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $7.3 million, or 7.3%. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to the increase in the average yield as well as the average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by the increase in interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities due to the increase in interest rates and an increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities. Total interest income increased $56.8 million, or 51.1%, to $167.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $111.0 million for the same period in 2022. Total interest expense increased $49.5 million, or 450.1%, to $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2022. Our net interest margin and net interest margin (FTE), a non-GAAP measure, decreased to 3.01% and 3.19%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.05% and 3.26%, respectively, for the same period in 2022, and our net interest spread and net interest spread (FTE), also a non-GAAP measure, decreased to 2.40% and 2.58%, respectively, compared to 2.90% and 3.12%, respectively, for the same period in 2022. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information and for a reconciliation to GAAP.
Quarterly Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Interest Expense
The following table presents on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, the net change in net interest income and sets forth the dollar amount of increase (decrease) in the average volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and from changes in yields/rates. Volume/Yield/Rate variances (change in volume times change in yield/rate) have been allocated to amounts attributable to changes in volumes and to changes in yields/rates in proportion to the amounts directly attributable to those changes (in thousands):

(1)Interest yields on loans and securities that are nontaxable for federal income tax purposes are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information and for a reconciliation to GAAP.
The increase in total interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 5.00% from 3.66% for the same period in 2022, as well as an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $554.3 million, or 8.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to the increase in interest rates on our interest bearing liabilities to 2.45% from 0.52% for the same period in 2022, and an increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities of $772.0 million, or 16.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.

The increase in total interest income was attributable to the increase in the average yield on earning assets to 4.88% from 3.60% for the same period in 2022 as well as an increase in average earning assets of $581.1 million, or 8.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the increase in interest rates on our interest bearing liabilities to 2.30% from 0.48% for the same period in 2022 and an increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities of $678.9 million, or 14.7%, when compared to the same period in 2022.

The 15.0% increase in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, was due to a net gain on sale of equity securities and an increase in other noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in net loss on sale of securities AFS and decreases in deposit services income and brokerage services income. The 13.5% increase in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, was due to a net gain on sale of equity securities and an increase in BOLI income, partially offset by an increase in net loss on sale of securities AFS and decreases in other noninterest income, deposit services income and brokerage services income.
The decrease in deposit services income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, was primarily due to a decrease in overdraft fees, partially offset by an increase in debit card income.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold MBS and municipal securities that resulted in a net loss on sale of AFS securities of $3.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold equity securities that resulted in a net gain of $2.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
Gain on sale of loans decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, due to a decrease in the volume of loans sold and a decrease in margins on loan sales as interest rates continued to increase in 2023.
The increase in BOLI income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to a death benefit of $951,000 realized in the first quarter of 2023 for a former covered officer.
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |55
Brokerage services income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, due to a decrease in assets under management due to the downturn in the market and a one-time fee recognized in the second quarter of 2022.
Other noninterest income increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a gain recognized on the repurchase of $5.0 million of our subordinated notes at a discount, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage servicing fee income. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, noninterest income decreased when compared to same period in 2022, primarily due to decreases in investment income and mortgage servicing fee income, partially offset by a gain recognized on the repurchase of $5.0 million of our subordinated notes and an increase in equity investment income.

The primary increase in noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, was in salaries and employee benefits. Several additional expense categories increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, including other noninterest expense, software and data processing expense and FDIC insurance.
Salaries and employee benefits increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, due to an increase in direct salary expense and health insurance expense, partially offset by a decrease in retirement expense.
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |56
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, direct salary expense increased $1.0 million, or 5.4%, and $2.5 million, or 7.1%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to normal salary increases effective in the first quarter of 2023 and market increases in the second quarter of 2022.
Health and life insurance expense, included in salaries and employee benefits, increased $170,000, or 9.0%, and $554,000, or 15.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2022. We have a self-insured health plan which is supplemented with a stop loss insurance policy.
Retirement expense, included in salaries and employee benefits, decreased $77,000, or 8.7%, and $98,000, or 6.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our deferred compensation expense.
Advertising, travel and entertainment expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increases in media advertising and donations, and increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increases in media advertising, travel related expenses, conference registrations fees and donations.
ATM expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to a decrease in transaction processing expense due to a change in vendors.
Professional fees increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, due to an increase in legal and consulting fees.
Software and data processing expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, due to new software contracts and increases in existing contract renewal costs.
Communications expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by a decrease in phone and internet costs due to a change in vendors.
FDIC insurance increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, due to an increase in the rate assessed by the FDIC and an increase in our assessment base resulting from an increase in our total assets.
Amortization of intangibles decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, due primarily to a decrease in core deposit intangible amortization which is recognized on an accelerated method resulting in a decline in expense over the amortization period.
Other noninterest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to an increase in non-service cost retirement expense related to the Retirement Plan.
Income Taxes
Pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $29.5 million and $60.0 million, respectively, an increase of 2.6% and 5.6%, compared to $28.7 million and $56.8 million for the same periods in 2022. We recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million and $9.1 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $3.3 million and $6.4 million for the same periods in 2022. The ETR as a percentage of pre-tax income was 15.5% and 15.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to an ETR as a percentage of pre-tax income of 11.5% and 11.3% for the same periods in 2022. The increase in the income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was a result of a decrease in net tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income as compared to the same periods in 2022.
The ETR differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from municipal loans and securities, as well as BOLI. The net deferred tax asset totaled $29.2 million at June 30, 2023 as compared to $34.7 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset is primarily the result of a decrease in unrealized losses in the AFS securities portfolio.
See “Note 11 – Income Taxes” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report. No valuation allowance was recorded at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, as management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset items will be realized in future years.

Composition of Loans
One of our main objectives is to seek attractive lending opportunities in Texas, primarily in the market areas in which we operate. Refer to “Part I - Item 1. Business - Market Area” in the 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of our primary market area and the geographic concentration of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022. There were no substantial changes in these concentrations during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The majority of our loan originations are made to borrowers who live in and/or conduct business in the market areas of Texas in which we operate or adjoin, with the exception of municipal loans, which are made primarily throughout the state of Texas. Municipal loans are made to municipalities, counties, school districts and colleges.

Our 1-4 family residential loans consist primarily of loans secured by first mortgages on owner occupied 1-4 family residences. Our construction loans are collateralized by property located primarily in or near the market areas we serve. A number of our construction loans will be owner occupied upon completion. Construction loans for non-owner occupied projects are financed, but these typically have cash flows from leases with tenants, secondary sources of repayment, and in some cases, additional collateral.
PCD Loans
We have purchased certain loans that as of the date of purchase have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. Management evaluates these loans against a probability threshold to determine if substantially all of the contractually required payments will be received. PCD loans are recorded at the purchase price plus an allowance for credit losses which becomes the PCD loan's initial amortized cost. The non-credit related discount or premium, the difference between the initial amortized cost and the par value, will be amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Any further changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense. In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets and elected to not maintain pools of loans as of the date of adoption. All PCD loans are evaluated based upon product type within the underlying segment.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets consist of delinquent loans 90 days or more past due, nonaccrual loans, OREO, repossessed assets and restructured loans. Nonaccrual loans are loans 90 days or more delinquent and collection in full of both the principal and interest is not expected. Additionally, some loans that are not delinquent or that are delinquent less than 90 days may be placed on nonaccrual status if it is probable that we will not receive contractual principal and interest payments in accordance with the terms of the respective loan agreements. When a loan is categorized as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest is discontinued and any accrued balance is reversed for financial statement purposes. OREO represents real estate taken in full or partial satisfaction of debts previously contracted. The dollar amount of OREO is based on a current evaluation of the OREO at the
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |58
time it is recorded on our books, net of estimated selling costs. Updated valuations are obtained as needed and any additional impairments are recognized. Restructured loans represent loans that have been modified due to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty to provide interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. Categorization of a loan as nonperforming is not in itself a reliable indicator of potential loan loss. Other factors, such as the value of collateral securing the loan and the financial condition of the borrower are considered in judgments as to potential loan loss.

(1) Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2022-02, effective January 1, 2023, we prospectively discontinued the recognition and measurement guidance previously required on troubled debt restructures. As a result, “restructured” loans as of June 30, 2023 exclude any loan modifications that are performing but would have previously required disclosure as troubled debt restructures.
We actively market all OREO properties and do not hold them for investment purposes.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
In accordance with ASC 326, the allowance for credit losses on loans is estimated and recognized upon origination of the loan based on expected credit losses. The CECL model uses historical experience and current conditions for homogeneous pools of loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future events. The impact of varying economic conditions and portfolio stress factors are a component of the credit loss models applied to each portfolio. Reserve factors are specific to the loan segments that share similar risk characteristics based on the probability of default assumptions and loss given default assumptions, over the contractual term. The forecasted periods gradually mean-revert the economic inputs to their long-run historical trends. Management evaluates the economic data points used in the Moody’s forecasting scenarios on a quarterly basis to determine the most appropriate impact to the various portfolio characteristics based on management’s view and applies weighting to various forecasting scenarios as deemed appropriate based on known and expected economic activities. Management also considers and may apply relevant qualitative factors, not previously considered, to determine the appropriate allowance level. The use of the CECL model includes significant judgment by management and may differ from those of our
Southside Bancshares, Inc. |59
peers due to different historical loss patterns, economic forecasts, and the length of time of the reasonable and supportable forecast period and reversion period.
We utilize Moody’s Analytics economic forecast scenarios and assign probability weighting to those scenarios which best reflect management’s views on the economic forecast. The probability weighting and scenarios utilized for the estimate of the allowance were generally reflective of continued economic uncertainty related to inflation and recessionary concerns, as based on known and knowable information as of June 30, 2023.
When determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolio, our commercial construction and real estate loans, commercial loans and municipal loans utilize the probability of default/loss given default discounted cash flow approach. Reserves on these loans are based upon risk factors including the loan type and structure, collateral type, leverage ratio, refinancing risk and origination quality, among others. Our consumer construction real estate loans, 1-4 family residential loans and our loans to individuals use a loss rate based upon risk factors including loan types, origination year and credit scores.
Loans evaluated collectively in a pool are monitored to ensure they continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics with other loans in the pool. If a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, expected credit losses for that loan are evaluated individually.
As of June 30, 2023, our review of the loan portfolio indicated that an allowance for loan losses of $36.3 million was appropriate to cover expected losses in the portfolio. Changes in economic and other conditions, including the application of the CECL model, rising interest rates and heightened inflation, may require future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the allowance for loan losses decreased $212,000, or 0.6%, to $36.3 million, or 0.84% of total loans, when compared to $36.5 million, or 0.88% of total loans at December 31, 2022.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, loan charge-offs were $737,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, and recoveries were $430,000 and $792,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, loan charge-offs were $479,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, and recoveries were $516,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $278,000 and $366,000, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses for loans of $112,000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 we recorded a provision of $154,000.

Balance at end of period | $ | 3,207 | | | $ | 1,891 | | | $ | 3,207 | | | $ | 1,891 | |
Our off-balance-sheet credit exposures include contractual commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. For these credit exposures we evaluate the expected credit losses using usage given defaults and credit conversion factors depending on the type of commitment and based upon historical usage rates. These assumptions are reevaluated on an annual basis and adjusted if necessary. For additional information regarding our methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures, see “Note 12 - Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2023 increased 2.6%, or $19.2 million, to $765.2 million, or 9.8% of total assets, compared to $746.0 million, or 9.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity was the result of net income of $50.9 million, other comprehensive income of $21.8 million, stock compensation expense of $1.8 million, common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan of $601,000 and net issuance of common stock under employee stock plans of $413,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in shareholders’ equity, including the repurchase of $34.7 million of our common stock and cash dividends paid of $21.7 million.
The Company’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital includes common stock and related paid-in capital, net of treasury stock, and retained earnings. The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital includes common stock and related paid-in capital, and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we elected to opt-out of the requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1. We also elected, for a five-year transitional period, the effects of credit loss accounting under CECL from Common Equity Tier 1, as further discussed below. Common Equity Tier 1 for both the Company and the Bank is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities.
Tier 1 capital includes Common Equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital. For the Company, additional Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2023 included $58.5 million of trust preferred securities. For bank holding companies that had assets of less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010 can be treated as Tier 1 capital to the extent that they do not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital after the application of capital deductions and adjustments. The Bank did not have any additional Tier 1 capital beyond Common Equity Tier 1 at June 30, 2023.
Total capital includes Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital for both the Company and the Bank includes a permissible portion of the allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet exposures. Tier 2 capital for the Company also includes $93.8 million of qualified subordinated debt as of June 30, 2023. The permissible portion of qualified subordinated notes decreases 20% per year during the final five years of the term of the notes.
In April 2020, the FDIC, Federal Reserve, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued supplemental instructions allowing banking organizations that implement CECL before the end of 2020, the option to delay for two years an estimate of the CECL methodologies’ effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodologies effect on capital, followed by a three-year transition period. We elected to adopt the five-year transition option. In accordance with CECL guidance, a CECL transitional amount totaling $4.1 million has been added back to CET1 as of June 30, 2023, representing 50% of the $8.2 million transitional amount at December 31, 2022.
Management believes that, as of June 30, 2023, we met all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject. It is management’s intention to maintain our capital at a level acceptable to all regulatory authorities and future dividend payments will be determined accordingly. Regulatory authorities require that any dividend payments made by either us or the Bank not exceed earnings for that year. Accordingly, shareholders should not anticipate a continuation of the cash dividend payments simply because of the existence of a dividend reinvestment program. The payment of dividends will depend upon future earnings, our financial condition and other related factors including the discretion of the board of directors.

Management of Liquidity
Liquidity management involves our ability to convert assets to cash with minimum risk of loss while enabling us to meet our current and future obligations to our customers at any time. This means addressing (1) the immediate cash withdrawal requirements of depositors and other fund providers; (2) the funding requirements of lines and letters of credit; and (3) the short-term credit needs of customers. Liquidity is provided by cash, interest earning deposits and short-term investments that can be readily liquidated with a minimum risk of loss. At June 30, 2023, these investments were 6.0% of total assets, as compared with 2.4% for December 31, 2022 and 3.1% for June 30, 2022. The increase to 6.0% at June 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, is reflective of increases in the short-term investment portfolio, partially offset by the increase in total assets. Liquidity is further provided through the matching, by time period, of rate sensitive interest earning assets with rate sensitive interest bearing liabilities. The Bank has three unsecured lines of credit for the purchase of overnight federal funds at prevailing rates with Frost Bank, TIB – The Independent Bankers Bank and Comerica Bank for $40.0 million, $15.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively. There were no federal funds purchased at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. To provide more liquidity in response to economic conditions in recent years, the Federal Reserve has encouraged broader use of the discount window. At June 30, 2023, the amount of additional funding the Bank could obtain from the FRDW, collateralized by securities, was approximately $593.6 million. There were $100.0 million and $188.0 million in borrowings from the FRDW at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. To provide more stability and to assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors, the Federal Reserve created the BTFP in the first quarter of 2023. At June 30, 2023, the amount of additional funding the Bank could obtain from the BTFP, collateralized by securities, was approximately $708,000. There were $296.2 million in borrowings from the BTFP at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, the amount of additional funding the Bank could obtain from FHLB, collateralized by securities, FHLB stock and nonspecified loans and securities, was approximately $1.80 billion, net of FHLB stock purchases required. The Bank has a $5.0 million line of credit with Frost Bank to be used to issue letters of credit, and at June 30, 2023, the line had one outstanding letter of credit for $155,000. The Bank currently has no outstanding letters of credit from FHLB held as collateral for its public fund deposits.
Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. The ALCO closely monitors various liquidity ratios and interest rate spreads and margins. The ALCO utilizes a simulation model to perform interest rate simulation tests that apply various interest rate scenarios including immediate shocks and MVPE to assist in determining our overall interest rate risk and the adequacy of our liquidity position. In addition, the ALCO utilizes this simulation model to determine the impact on net interest income of various interest rate scenarios. By utilizing this technology, we can determine changes that need to be made to the asset and liability mix to minimize the change in net interest income under these various interest rate scenarios.
Management continually evaluates our liquidity position and currently believes the Company has adequate funding to meet our financial needs.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Refer to the discussion of market risks included in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the 2022 Form 10-K.
In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. The primary objective of monitoring our interest rate sensitivity, or risk, is to provide management the tools necessary to manage the balance sheet to minimize adverse changes in net interest income as a result of changes in the direction and level of interest rates. Federal Reserve monetary control efforts, the effects of deregulation, economic uncertainty and legislative changes have been significant factors affecting the task of managing interest rate sensitivity positions in recent years.
In an attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors our exposure to interest rate risk through our ALCO. Our ALCO meets regularly and reviews our interest rate risk position and makes recommendations to our board for adjusting this position. In addition, our board regularly reviews our asset/liability position. We primarily use two methods for measuring and analyzing interest rate risk: net income simulation analysis and MVPE modeling. We utilize the net income simulation model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market rates. This model quantifies the effects of various interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income and net income over the next 12 months. The model is used to measure the impact on net interest income relative to a base case scenario of rates immediately increasing 100 and 200 basis points or decreasing 50, 100 and 200 basis points over the next 12 months. These simulations incorporate assumptions regarding balance sheet growth and mix, pricing and the repricing and maturity characteristics of the existing and projected balance sheet. The impact of interest rate-related risks such as prepayment, basis and option risk are also considered. The model has interest rate floors and no interest rates are assumed to go negative. The interest rate environment in 2020 and much of 2021 was at a point where most treasury terms were under 100 basis points; therefore, we did not believe an analysis of an assumed decrease in interest rates beyond 50 basis points would provide meaningful results. We have resumed the simulation of rates decreasing 100 and 200 basis points as a result of the Federal Reserve’s ongoing interest rate increases in 2022 and 2023. We are continuing to monitor interest rates and anticipate additional rate increases during the remainder of 2023.
The following table reflects the noted increases and decreases in interest rates under the model simulations and the anticipated impact on net interest income relative to the base case over the next 12 months for the periods presented.

As part of the overall assumptions, certain assets and liabilities are given reasonable floors. This type of simulation analysis requires numerous assumptions including but not limited to changes in balance sheet mix, prepayment rates on mortgage-related assets and fixed rate loans, cash flows and repricing of all financial instruments, changes in volumes and pricing, future shapes of the yield curve, relationship of market interest rates to each other (basis risk), credit spread and deposit sensitivity. Assumptions are based on management’s best estimates but may not accurately reflect actual results under certain changes in interest rates.
Economic conditions and growth prospects are currently impacted by record inflation and potential recessionary concerns. Furthermore, worker shortages, supply chain disruptions and inflationary conditions, have had some impact on the level of economic growth in our market areas. Ongoing higher inflation levels and higher interest rates could have a negative impact on the financial condition of both our consumer and commercial borrowers.
The ALCO monitors various liquidity ratios to ensure a satisfactory liquidity position for us. Management continually evaluates the condition of the economy, the pattern of market interest rates and other economic data to determine the types of investments that should be made and at what maturities. Using this analysis, management from time to time assumes calculated interest sensitivity gap positions to maximize net interest income based upon anticipated movements in the general level of interest rates. Regulatory authorities also monitor our gap position along with other liquidity ratios. In addition, as described above, we utilize a simulation model to determine the impact of net interest income under several different interest rate scenarios. By utilizing this model, we can determine changes that need to be made to the asset and liability mixes to mitigate the change in net interest income under these various interest rate scenarios.
