NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2018

(unaudited, dollars in thousands except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

German American Bancorp, Inc. operates primarily in the banking industry. The accounting and reporting policies of German American Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company") conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods reported have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements and notes be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Certain items included in the prior period financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. There was no effect on net income or total shareholders' equity based on these reclassifications.

NOTE 2 - Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent amendments to the ASU that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, the new guidance did not have a material impact on revenue most closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income and expense. The majority of the Company's revenues are from financial instruments and are not within the scope of Topic 606. The Company completed its overall assessment of revenue streams and related contracts, including service charges on deposit accounts, interchange income, and trust and investment brokerage fees. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that ASU 2014-09 did not materially change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue for these revenue streams. The Company also completed its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether certain revenue streams should be reported gross versus net of certain expenses. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that the classification of certain debit card related costs should change and now be reported as expenses versus contra-revenue. This reclassification change resulted in an immaterial impact to both revenue and expense. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of this guidance, a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Consistent with the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior period amounts for the debit card costs noted above.

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under Topic 606 follows:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges and statement rendering, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed (the point in time the Company fills the customer's request). Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs.

Interchange Fee Income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Trust and Investment Product Fees: The Company earns trust and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with trust and brokerage customers to manage assets for investment and/or to transact their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of assets under management at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed (trade date).

Insurance Revenues: The Company earns insurance revenue from commissions derived from the sale of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products. These commissions are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted insurance product to customers.

NOTE 4 – Securities 

The amortized cost, unrealized gross gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and fair value of Securities Available-for-Sale at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows:

Securities Available-for-Sale:	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
March 31, 2018
Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions	$	271,135	$	3,893	$	(2,275	)	$	272,753
MBS/CMO - Residential	481,192		76		(16,417		)	464,851
Total	$	752,327	$	3,969	$	(18,692	)	$	737,604
December 31, 2017
Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions	$	267,437	$	6,733	$	(861	)	$	273,309
MBS/CMO - Residential	476,205		416		(9,289		)	467,332
Total	$	743,642	$	7,149	$	(10,150	)	$	740,641

All mortgage-backed securities in the above table (identified above and throughout this Note 4 as "MBS/CMO - Residential") are residential mortgage-backed securities and guaranteed by government sponsored entities.

Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are included as "Other Investments" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are carried at historical cost and are evaluated for impairment on a periodic basis.  The Company's equity securities consist of one non-controlling investment in a single banking organization at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The original investment totaled $1,350 and other-than-temporary impairment was previously recorded totaling $997. When a decline in fair value below cost is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the unrealized loss must be recognized as a charge to earnings.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at March 31, 2018 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed Securities are not due at a single maturity date and are shown separately in the table below.

Securities Available-for-Sale:	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	2,814	$	2,835
Due after one year through five years	20,970		21,520
Due after five years through ten years	80,105		81,462
Due after ten years	167,246		166,936
MBS/CMO - Residential	481,192		464,851
Total	$	752,327	$	737,604

Proceeds from the Sales of Securities are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended

Proceeds from Sales	$	7,295	$	—

The carrying value of securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements, public and trust deposits, and for other purposes as required by law was $226,893 and $165,404 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Below is a summary of securities with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, presented by length of time the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

	Less than 12 Months					12 Months or More					Total
December 31, 2017	Fair Value		Unrealized Loss			Fair Value		Unrealized Loss			Fair Value		Unrealized Loss
Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions	$	33,230	$	(237	)	$	24,161	$	(624	)	$	57,391	$	(861	)
MBS/CMO - Residential	172,354		(2,048		)	250,520		(7,241		)	422,874		(9,289		)
Total	$	205,584	$	(2,285	)	$	274,681	$	(7,865	)	$	480,265	$	(10,150	)

Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not considered temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  The Company does not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell these securities, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates. Therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. All mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (MBS/CMO - Residential) in the Company’s portfolio are guaranteed by government sponsored entities, are investment grade, and are performing as expected.

NOTE 5 – Derivatives

The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The notional amounts of these interest rate swaps and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $87.3 million at March 31, 2018 and $87.8 million at December 31, 2017. These interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with substantially matching terms. The agreements are considered stand alone derivatives and changes in the fair value of derivatives are reported in earnings as non-interest income.  

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional, principal or contract amounts. There are provisions in the agreements with the counterparties that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed thresholds are collateralized. In addition, the Company minimizes credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss, general allocations are made for pools of loans, including non-classified loans, homogeneous portfolios of consumer and residential real estate loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on historical averages for loan losses for these portfolios, judgmentally adjusted for current economic factors and portfolio trends.

Loan impairment is reported when full repayment under the terms of the loan is not expected. This methodology is used for all loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality if such loans perform worse than what was expected at the time of acquisition. For purchased loans, the assessment is made at the time of acquisition as well as over the life of the loan. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include real estate loans secured by one-to-four family residences and loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. Individually evaluated loans on non-accrual are generally considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Specific allocations on impaired loans are determined by comparing the loan balance to the present value of expected cash flows or expected collateral proceeds. Allocations are also applied to categories of loans not considered individually impaired but for which the rate of loss is expected to be greater than historical averages, including non-performing consumer or residential real estate loans. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values.

NOTE 6 - Loans (continued)

All classes of loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, are generally placed on non-accrual status when scheduled principal or interest payments are past due for 90 days or more or when the borrower’s ability to repay becomes doubtful. For purchased loans, the determination is made at the time of acquisition as well as over the life of the loan. Uncollected accrued interest for each class of loans is reversed against income at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. All classes of loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans are typically charged-off at 180 days past due, or earlier if deemed uncollectible. Exceptions to the non-accrual and charge-off policies are made when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

The following tables present the recorded investment in non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual by class of loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

In certain instances, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of loans. A troubled debt restructuring occurs when the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider due to a borrower’s financial difficulty.   In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. The Company uses the same methodology for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality as for all other loans when determining whether the loan is a troubled debt restructuring.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no loans modified as a troubled debt restructuring. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there was one loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring.

The following tables present the recorded investment of troubled debt restructurings by class of loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Additionally, there were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three months ending March 31, 2018 and 2017.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories 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. The Company classifies loans as to credit risk by individually analyzing loans. This analysis includes commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans with an outstanding balance greater than $250. This analysis is typically performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

NOTE 7 – Repurchase Agreements Accounted for as Secured Borrowings

Repurchase agreements are short-term borrowings included in FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings and mature overnight and continuously. Repurchase agreements, which were secured by mortgage-backed securities, totaled $31,796 and $41,499 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Risk could arise when the collateral pledged to a repurchase agreement declines in fair value. The Company minimizes risk by consistently monitoring the value of the collateral pledged. At the point in time where the collateral has declined in fair value, the Company is required to provide additional collateral based on the value of the underlying securities.

NOTE 8 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations include three primary segments: core banking, trust and investment advisory services, and insurance operations. The core banking segment involves attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial and agricultural, commercial and agricultural real estate, and residential mortgage loans, primarily in the Company’s local markets. The core banking segment also involves the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The trust and investment advisory services segment involves providing trust, investment advisory, and brokerage services to customers. The insurance segment offers a full range of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products, primarily in the Company’s banking subsidiary’s local markets.

The core banking segment is comprised by the Company’s banking subsidiary, German American Bancorp, which operated through 53 banking offices at March 31, 2018. Effective April 1, 2018, the legal name of German American Bancorp was changed to German American Bank.  Net interest income from loans and investments funded by deposits and borrowings is the primary revenue for the core-banking segment. The trust and investment advisory services segment’s revenues are comprised primarily of fees generated by the trust operations of the Company's banking subsidiary and by German American Investment Services, Inc. These fees are derived by providing trust, investment advisory, and brokerage services to its customers. The insurance segment primarily consists of German American Insurance, Inc., which provides a full line of personal and corporate insurance products. Commissions derived from the sale of insurance products are the primary source of revenue for the insurance segment.

The following segment financial information has been derived from the internal financial statements of the Company which are used by management to monitor and manage financial performance. The accounting policies of the three segments are the same as those of the Company. The evaluation process for segments does not include holding company income and expense. Holding company amounts are the primary differences between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the column labeled “Other” below, along with amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.

NOTE 9 – Stock Repurchase Plan

On April 26, 2001, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for up to 911,631 of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market and in large block privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be discontinued at any time before the maximum number of shares specified by the program are purchased. The Board of Directors established no expiration date for this program. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had purchased 502,447 shares under the program. No shares were purchased under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

NOTE 10 – Equity Plans and Equity Based Compensation

The Company maintains three equity incentive plans under which stock options, restricted stock, and other equity incentive awards can be granted. At March 31, 2018, the Company has reserved 386,754 shares of common stock for the purpose of issuance pursuant to outstanding and future grants of options, restricted stock, and other equity awards to officers, directors and other employees of the Company. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted no options.  The Company recorded no stock compensation expense applicable to options during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 because all outstanding options were fully vested prior to 2007.  In addition, there was no unrecognized option expense. 

During the periods presented, awards of long-term incentives were granted in the form of restricted stock.  Awards that were granted to management under a management incentive plan were granted in tandem with cash credit entitlements (typically in the form of 60% restricted stock grants and 40% cash credit entitlements). The management and employee restricted stock grants and tandem cash credit entitlements awarded will vest in three equal installments of 33.3% with the first annual vesting on December 5th of the year of the grant and on December 5th of the next two succeeding years.  Awards that were granted to directors as additional retainer for their services do not include any cash credit entitlement. These director restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture in the event that the recipient of the grant does not continue in service as a director of the Company through December 5th of the year after grant or does not satisfy certain meeting attendance requirements, at which time they generally vest 100 percent. For measuring compensation costs, restricted stock awards are valued based upon the market value of the common shares on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted awards of 34,860 and 37,890 shares of restricted stock, respectively. Total unvested restricted stock awards at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were 80,716 and 46,306, respectively.

Unrecognized expense associated with the restricted stock grants and cash entitlements totaled $3,449 and $3,201 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan whereby eligible employees have the option to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount. The purchase price of the shares under this Plan has been set at 95% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the plan year. The plan provided for the purchase of up to 750,000 shares of common stock, which the Company may obtain by purchases on the open market or from private sources, or by issuing authorized but unissued common shares. At March 31, 2018, there were 557,203 shares available for future issuance under this plan. Funding for the purchase of common stock is from employee and Company contributions. 

There was no expense recorded for the employee stock purchase plan during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. There was no unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

NOTE 11 – Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Level 3 pricing is obtained from a third-party based upon similar trades that are not traded frequently without adjustment by the Company. At March 31, 2018, the Company held $5.5 million in Level 3 securities which consist of $5.2 million of non-rated Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions and $353 thousand of equity securities that are not actively traded. Absent the credit rating, significant assumptions must be made such that the credit risk input becomes an unobservable input and thus these securities are reported by the Company in a Level 3 classification.

Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

NOTE 11 - Fair Value (continued)

Impaired Loans: Fair values for impaired collateral dependent loans are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances includes consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure. Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value in the cost to replace the current property. Value of market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investor's required return. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Comparable sales adjustments are based on known sales prices of similar type and similar use properties and duration of time that the property has been on the market to sell. Such adjustments made in the appraisal process are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Company’s Risk Management Area reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal. In determining the value of impaired collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned, significant unobservable inputs may be used which include: physical condition of comparable properties sold, net operating income generated by the property and investor rates of return.

Other Real Estate: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate (ORE) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property utilizing similar techniques as discussed above for Impaired Loans, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, impairment loss is recognized.

Loan Servicing Rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount resulting in a Level 2 classification. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed, and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data.

Loans Held-for-Sale: The fair values of loans held for sale are determined by using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan resulting in a Level 2 classification.

NOTE 13 - Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance (ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities) that requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Also, it requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. These amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company notes that the impact of adoption is to carry the equity security at fair value or at cost, less impairment when fair value is not readily determinable, with observable price changes being recognized in earnings. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and no adjustment to the single equity security was performed upon adoption. Also, upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, this equity security is no longer classified as available-for-sale. For additional information on this equity security, see Note 4 - Securities. Per ASU 2016-01 guidance, the Company reported the fair value of financial instruments based upon an exit price notion for March 31, 2018. For additional information, see Note 11 - Fair Value.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU (ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 320): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments) to address the diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows including the following:

• Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs;

• Settlement of Zero-Coupon Bonds or Debt with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate;

• Contingent Consideration payments Made Soon After a Business Combination;

• Proceeds From the Settlement of Insurance Claims;

• Proceeds From the Settlement of BOLI and COLI Policies;

• Distributions Received From Equity Method Investees;

• Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and

• Application of the Predominance Principle.

These amendments are effective for public business entities beginning January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In March 2017, the FASB amended existing guidance (ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)) to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit costs are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendments are effective for public business entities beginning January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 13 - Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In February 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)) that requires lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Based on our leases outstanding as of March 31, 2018, the Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operation. However as a result of this new guidance, the Company anticipates an estimated increase in its Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $6,000. This impact will vary based on the Company's future decisions to enter into new lease agreements or exit/renew current lease agreements prior to the date of implementation.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)) to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period.

The transition to the new standard will be applied as follows:

• For debt securities with other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), the guidance will be applied prospectively.

• Existing purchased credit impaired (PCI) assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption. The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield of such assets as of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance.

• For all other assets within the scope of CECL, a cumulative-effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

The Company has formed a CECL committee that is assessing data and system needs in order to evaluate the impact of adopting the new guidance. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot estimate the amount at this time.

NOTE 14 – Subsequent Events

On February 12, 2018, German American Bancorp (now known as German American Bank) entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MainSource Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (“MainSource”), which provides for the acquisition by German American Bank of five MainSource Bank branch locations (four in Columbus, Indiana, and one in Greensburg, Indiana), and certain related assets, and the assumption by German American Bank of certain related liabilities.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, German American Bank has agreed to assume approximately $160 million in deposits and purchase approximately $134 million in loans associated with the five bank branches. German American Bank has agreed to pay a purchase price equal to the sum of: (i) 8.0% of the balances of certain checking accounts and other demand withdrawal accounts (excluding governmental accounts with public funds); (ii) 4.5% of the balances of governmental accounts with public funds, excluding time deposits; (iii) 4.5% of the balances of money market and savings deposits, excluding governmental accounts with public funds; (iv) the net book value of all assets, including loans but excluding any accrued interest on such loans; and (v) the accrued interest with respect to purchased loans. The purchase price will be adjusted to reflect increases or decreases in the deposit balances during the six month period following the closing date. Upon written notice, German American Bank will also have the ability to put loans back to MainSource Bank during such six month period. The expected premium to be paid for deposits under the Agreement is approximately $8 million. German American Bank is also assuming the obligations of MainSource Bank related to certain leases covering the five bank branches.

With the previously-announced merger of MainSource and First Financial Bancorp having been completed on April 1, 2018 and all necessary regulatory approvals having been received, the transaction is expected to close on May 18, 2018, subject to other customary closing conditions.

Effective April 1, 2018, the legal name of German American Bancorp was changed to German American Bank. The new name corresponds with the trade name already being used by the banking subsidiary and promotes further distinction in nomenclature between the banking subsidiary and the bank holding company, German American Bancorp, Inc.

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

GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

German American Bancorp, Inc., is a NASDAQ-traded (symbol: GABC) financial services holding company based in Jasper, Indiana. German American Bancorp, Inc., through its banking subsidiary German American Bank, operates 53 banking offices in 19 contiguous southern Indiana counties and one northern Kentucky county. Prior to April 1, 2018, German American Bank was known as German American Bancorp. The Company also owns an investment brokerage subsidiary (German American Investment Services, Inc.) and a full line property and casualty insurance agency (German American Insurance, Inc.).

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as elsewhere in this Report, when we use the term “Company,” we will usually be referring to the business and affairs (financial and otherwise) of German American Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates as a whole. Occasionally, we will refer to the term “parent company” or “holding company” when we mean to refer to only German American Bancorp, Inc.

This section presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data presented elsewhere herein and with the financial statements and other financial data, as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

This updated discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management Overview that was included in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 totaled $11,813,000, or $0.51 per share, an increase of 21% on a per share basis compared with the first quarter 2017 net income of $9,556,000, or $0.42 per share. The first quarter of 2018 net income was positively impacted by lower federal income tax rates that became effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Act (as discussed and defined below). The lower federal income tax rates had a positive impact of approximately $0.06 per share during the first quarter of 2018.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax reform legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). Among other things, the Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including: reducing the federal corporate rate from 35% to 21%; modifying the rules regarding limitations on certain deductions for executive compensation; introducing a capital investment deduction in certain circumstances; placing certain limitations on the interest deduction; and modifying the rules regarding the usability of net operating losses.

On February 12, 2018, German American Bancorp (now known as German American Bank) entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MainSource Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (“MainSource”), which provides for the acquisition by German American Bank of five MainSource Bank branch locations (four in Columbus, Indiana, and one in Greensburg, Indiana), and certain related assets, and the assumption by German American Bank of certain related liabilities.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, German American Bank has agreed to assume approximately $160 million in deposits and purchase approximately $134 million in loans associated with the five bank branches. With the previously-announced merger of MainSource and First Financial Bancorp having been completed on April 1, 2018 and all necessary regulatory approvals having been received, the transaction is expected to close on May 18, 2018, subject to other customary closing conditions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The financial condition and results of operations for the Company presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and selected financial data appearing elsewhere within this Report, are, to a large degree, dependent upon the Company’s accounting policies. The selection of and application of these policies involve estimates, judgments, and uncertainties that are subject to change. The critical accounting policies and estimates that the Company has determined to be the most susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of securities available for sale, income tax expense, and the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover probable incurred credit losses at the balance sheet date. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the necessary allowance balance. Evaluations are conducted at least quarterly and more often if deemed necessary. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company’s control.

The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on other classified loans and pools of homogeneous loans, and consideration of past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance consists of two components of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for loan losses deemed adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Commercial and agricultural loans are subject to a standardized grading process administered by an internal loan review function. The need for specific reserves is considered for credits identified as impaired when: (a) the customer’s cash flow or net worth appears insufficient to repay the loan; (b) the loan has been criticized in a regulatory examination; (c) the loan is on non-accrual; or (d) other reasons where the ultimate collectability of the loan is in question, or the loan characteristics require special monitoring. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that we believe indicates the loan is impaired.

Specific allocations on impaired loans are determined by comparing the loan balance to the present value of expected cash flows or expected collateral proceeds. Allocations are also applied to categories of loans not considered individually impaired but for which the rate of loss is expected to be greater than historical averages, including non-performing consumer or residential real estate loans. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values.

General allocations are made for commercial and agricultural loans that are graded as substandard based on migration analysis techniques to determine historical average losses for similar types of loans. General allocations are also made for other pools of loans, including non-classified loans, homogeneous portfolios of consumer and residential real estate loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on historical averages for loan losses for these portfolios, judgmentally adjusted for economic, external and internal factors and portfolio trends. Economic factors include evaluating changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. Internal factors include evaluating changes in lending policies and procedures; changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; and changes in experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff. In setting our external and internal factors we also consider the overall level of the allowance for loan losses to total loans; our allowance coverage as compared to similar size bank holding companies; and regulatory requirements.

Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for loan losses, the Company’s allowance for loan losses includes a minor unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses incorporates the Company’s judgmental determination of inherent losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations, including factors such as economic uncertainties, lending staff quality, industry trends impacting specific portfolio segments, and broad portfolio quality trends.  Therefore, the ratio of allocated to unallocated components within the total allowance may fluctuate from period to period.

34

Securities Valuation

Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company obtains market values from a third party on a monthly basis in order to adjust the securities to fair value. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, less impairment with observable price changes being recognized in earnings. Additionally, when securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, a charge will be recorded through earnings; therefore, future changes in the fair value of securities could have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. In determining whether a market value decline is other than temporary, management considers the reason for the decline, the extent of the decline, the duration of the decline and whether the Company intends to sell or believes it will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery.  As of March 31, 2018, gross unrealized gains on the securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled approximately $3,969,000 and gross unrealized losses totaled approximately $18,692,000.  

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense involves estimates related to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and loss contingencies related to exposure from tax examinations presumed to occur.

A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to the amount management believes is more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers the likelihood that sufficient taxable income of appropriate character will be generated within carry-back and carry-forward periods, including consideration of available tax planning strategies. Tax-related loss contingencies, including assessments arising from tax examinations and tax strategies, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In considering the likelihood of loss, management considers the nature of the contingency, the progress of any examination or related protest or appeal, the views of legal counsel and other advisors, experience of the Company or other enterprises in similar matters, if any, and management’s intended response to any assessment.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill resulting from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Company’s balance sheet.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 6 to 10 years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income:

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 totaled $11,813,000, or $0.51 per share, an increase of 21% on a per share basis compared with the first quarter 2017 net income of $9,556,000, or $0.42 per share. The first quarter of 2018 net income was positively impacted by lower federal income tax rates that became effective January 1, 2018, as a result of the Tax Act. The lower federal income tax rates had a positive impact of approximately $0.06 per share during the first quarter of 2018.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income is the Company’s single largest source of earnings, and represents the difference between interest and fees realized on earning assets, less interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Several factors contribute to the determination of net interest income and net interest margin, including the volume and mix of earning assets, interest rates, and income taxes. Many factors affecting net interest income are subject to control by management policies and actions. Factors beyond the control of management include the general level of credit and deposit demand, Federal Reserve Board monetary policy, and changes in tax laws.

The following table summarizes net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For tax-equivalent adjustments, an effective tax rate of 21% was used for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 35% was used for the three months ended March 31 2017⁽¹⁾.

⁽¹⁾  Effective tax rates were determined as though interest earned on the Company’s investments in municipal bonds and loans was fully taxable.

⁽²⁾  Loans held-for-sale and non-accruing loans have been included in average loans.

Net interest income increased $885,000, or 4%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the same quarter of 2017.  The net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.66% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 3.86% during the first quarter of 2017. The tax equivalent yield on earning assets totaled 4.15% during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to 4.20% in the same period of 2017, while the cost of funds (expressed as a percentage of average earning assets) totaled 0.49% during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to 0.34% in the same period of 2017.

The increased level of net interest income during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017 was driven by an increased level of average earning assets and more specifically average loans outstanding, which was partially offset by a higher cost of funds. Average loans outstanding increased during the first quarter of 2018 by approximately $164.9 million, or 8%, as compared to the first quarter of 2017.

The decline in the net interest margin during the first quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the amount of accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans, an increase in the cost of funds, and the decline in the federal income tax rates in 2018 compared with 2017. Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 4 basis points to the net interest margin on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2018 compared with 17 basis points in the first quarter of 2017. The Company's cost of funds increased approximately 15 basis points in the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. The higher cost of funds was largely attributable to an increase in short-term market interest rates over the past several

36

quarters. The lower federal income tax rates during the first quarter of 2018 had an approximately 9 basis point negative impact on the Company's net interest margin and earning asset yield.

Provision for Loan Losses:

The Company provides for loan losses through regular provisions to the allowance for loan losses. The provision is affected by net charge-offs on loans and changes in specific and general allocations of the allowance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the provision for loan losses totaled $350,000 compared with a $500,000 provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2017. The provision for loan losses represented approximately 7 basis points and 10 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net charge-offs totaled $1,584,000 or 30 basis points on an annualized basis of average loans outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $143,000 or 3 basis points on an annualized basis of average loans outstanding during the same period of 2017. The increase in net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to a partial charge-off on a single commercial lending relationship that was downgraded during the fourth quarter of 2017.

The provision for loan losses made during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was made at a level deemed necessary by management to absorb changes in estimated, probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. A detailed evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is completed quarterly by management, the results of which are used to determine provision for loan losses. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.

Non-interest Income:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, non-interest income totaled $9,492,000, an increase of $1,304,000, or 16%, compared with the first quarter of 2017.

^{(1)  n/m=not meaningful}  

Trust and investment product fees increased $530,000, or 43%, during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. Increased assets under management in the Company's wealth advisory group contributed to this increase in trust and investment product fees.

Insurance revenues increased $290,000, or 11%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared with the first quarter of 2017. The increase during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017 was primarily due to increased contingency revenue. Contingency revenue during the first quarter of 2018 totaled $1,218,000 compared with $992,000 during the first quarter of 2017. The fluctuation in contingency revenue is a normal course of business variance and is reflective of claims and loss experience with insurance carriers that the Company represents through its property and casualty insurance agency. Typically, the majority of contingency revenue is recognized during the first quarter of the year.

Interchange fees increased $459,000, or 45%, during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. The increase during the first quarter of 2018 was largely attributable to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018. While the adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial results, the recording

of revenue gross versus net of certain expenses, in accordance with the standard, did result in the reclassification of some expenses associated with the interchange fee revenue during the first quarter of 2018.

Other operating income decreased $254,000, or 30%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. The decline was largely attributable to decreased fees associated with swap transactions with loan customers.

The Company realized a net gain on sales of securities of $270,000 during the first quarter of 2018 related to the sale of $5.9 million of securities compared to no gain on the sale of securities in the first quarter of 2017.

Non-interest Expense:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, non-interest expense totaled $20,455,000, an increase of $1,419,000, or 7%, compared with the first quarter of 2017.

Salaries and benefits increased $682,000, or 6%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. The increase in salaries and benefits during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to an increased number of full-time equivalent employees.

Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense increased $227,000, or 10%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. The increase was largely related to various repairs and maintenance expenses including snow removal during the first quarter of 2018.

Other operating expenses increased $452,000, or 19%, during the first quarter of 2018 compared with the first quarter of 2017. The increase in the first quarter of 2018 was largely attributable to the adoption of the aforementioned revenue recognition standard effective January 1, 2018.

Income Taxes:

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 17.4% and 28.6%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The effective tax rate in all periods presented was lower than the blended statutory rate resulting primarily from the Company’s tax-exempt investment income on securities, loans and company-owned life insurance, income tax credits generated from affordable housing projects, and income generated by subsidiaries domiciled in a state with no state or local income tax.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a provision for income tax expense of $2,484,000 compared with a provision for income tax expense of $3,821,000 in the first quarter of 2017. The provision for income tax and the effective tax rate was positively impacted during the first quarter of 2018 by the reduction of federal income tax rates from a statutory rate of 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 related to the federal tax reform legislation enacted during the fourth quarter of 2017.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets for the Company decreased to $3.125 billion at March 31, 2018, representing a decline of $19.3 million, or 2% on an annualized basis, compared with December 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2018, total loans increased $8.8 million, or 2% on an annualized basis, compared with December 31, 2017. The

38

increase during the first quarter of 2018 was driven by an increase of approximately $21.2 million, or 9% on an annualized basis, of commercial real estate loans, partially mitigated by a decline of of $4.4 million, or 4% on an annualized basis, of commercial and industrial loans, a seasonal decline of $4.1 million, or 5% on an annualized basis, of agricultural loans and a decline of $3.9 million, or 4% on annualized basis, of retail loans which include home equity, consumer and residential loans.

End of Period Loan Balances: (dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017		Current Period Change

The following table indicates the breakdown of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Commercial and Industrial Loans and Leases	$	3,603	$	4,735

Residential Mortgage Loans	327		343
Unallocated	495		503
Total Allowance for Loan Loss	$	14,460	$	15,694

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $14.5 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $15.7 million at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.67% of period-end loans at March 31, 2018 compared with 0.73% of period-end loans at December 31, 2017. The decline in the allowance for loan losses during the first quarter of 2018 was largely related to a partial charge-off on a single commercial lending relationship down-graded during the fourth quarter of 2017. Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans acquired are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller. The Company held a net discount on acquired loans of $7.3 million as of March 31, 2018 and $7.6 million at December 31, 2017.

The following is an analysis of the Company’s non-performing assets at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Non-performing Assets: (dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Non-accrual Loans	$	9,479		$	11,091

Total	$	9,479	$	11,091	$	1,105	$	719

Non-performing assets totaled $10.7 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $11.9 million of non-performing assets at December 31, 2017. Non-performing assets represented 0.34% of total assets at March 31, 2018 compared to 0.38% of total assets at December 31, 2017. Non-performing loans totaled $10.6 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $11.8 million at December 31, 2017. Non-performing loans represented 0.49% of total loans at March 31, 2018 compared to 0.55% at December 31, 2017. The decline in non-performing assets during the first quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to a partial charge-off on a single commercial lending relationship that was downgraded during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Loan impairment is reported when repayment under the terms of the loan is not expected.  If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is specifically allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include real estate loans secured by one-to-four family residences and loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. Individually evaluated loans on non-accrual are generally considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Total deposits declined $16.9 million, or 3% on an annualized basis, as of March 31, 2018 compared with December 31, 2017.

Capital Resources:

As of March 31, 2018, shareholders’ equity declined by $566,000 to $364.0 million compared with $364.6 million at year-end 2017. The decline in shareholders' equity was primarily attributable to a decline of $9.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income primarily related to the decrease in value of the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio, which was partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $8.4 million. Shareholders’ equity represented 11.6% of total assets at March 31, 2018 and 11.6% of total assets at December 31, 2017. Shareholders’ equity included $56.0 million of goodwill and other intangible assets at March 31, 2018 compared to $56.2 million of goodwill and other intangible assets at December 31, 2017.

Federal banking regulations provide guidelines for determining the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. These guidelines provide for a more narrow definition of core capital and assign a measure of risk to the various categories of assets. The Company is required to maintain minimum levels of capital in proportion to total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet exposures.

40

As of January 1, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary bank adopted the new Basel III regulatory capital framework. The adoption of this new framework modified the regulatory capital calculations, minimum capital levels and well-capitalized thresholds and added the new Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio. Additionally, under the new rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, the Company is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized regulatory capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.00% in 2015 to 2.50% in 2019. For March 31, 2018, the capital conservation buffer was 1.875% and for December 31, 2017, the capital conservation buffer was 1.25%. At March 31, 2018, the capital levels for the Company and its subsidiary bank remained well in excess of of the minimum amounts needed for capital adequacy purposes and the bank's capital levels met the necessary requirements to be considered well-capitalized.

The table below presents the Company’s consolidated and the subsidiary bank's capital ratios under regulatory guidelines:

	3/31/2018 Ratio		12/31/2017 Ratio		Minimum for Capital Adequacy Purposes		Well-Capitalized Guidelines
Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)
Consolidated	13.83	%	13.62	%	8.00	%	N/A
Bank	12.34	%	12.29	%	8.00	%	10.00	%
Tier 1 (Core) Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)
Consolidated	13.25	%	12.99	%	6.00	%	N/A
Bank	11.77	%	11.66	%	6.00	%	8.00	%
Common Tier 1, (CET 1) Capital Ratio (to Risk Weighted Assets)
Consolidated	12.81	%	12.55	%	4.50	%	N/A
Bank	11.77	%	11.66	%	4.50	%	6.50	%
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)
Consolidated	10.81	%	10.71	%	4.00	%	N/A
Bank	9.62	%	9.63	%	4.00	%	5.00	%

Under the the final rules provided for by Basel III, accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") was to be included in a banking organization's Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The final rules allowed community banks to make a one-time election not to include the additional components of AOCI in regulatory capital and instead use the existing treatment under the general risk-based capital rules that excludes most AOCI components from regulatory capital. The Company elected, in its March 31, 2015 regulatory filings (Call Report and FR Y-9), to opt-out and continue the existing treatment of AOCI for regulatory capital purposes.

Liquidity:

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows details the elements of changes in the Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $30.1 million during the three months March 31, 2018 ending at $40.2 million.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018, operating activities resulted in net cash inflows of $13.7 million. Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $22.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  Financing activities resulted in net cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $21.1 million.

The parent company is a corporation separate and distinct from its bank and other subsidiaries. The Company uses funds at the parent-company level to pay dividends to its shareholders, to acquire or make other investments in other businesses or their securities or assets, to repurchase its stock from time to time, and for other general corporate purposes including debt service. The parent company does not have access at the parent-company level to the deposits and certain other sources of funds that are available to its bank subsidiary to support its operations. Instead, the parent company has historically derived most of its revenues from dividends paid to the parent company by its bank subsidiary. The Company’s banking subsidiary is subject to statutory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to the parent company. The parent company has in recent years supplemented the dividends received from its subsidiaries with borrowings. As of March 31, 2018, the parent company had approximately $27.9 million of cash and cash equivalents available to meet its cash flow needs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee and Boards of Directors of the parent company and its subsidiary bank. Primary market risks which impact the Company’s operations are liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The liquidity of the parent company is dependent upon the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary bank, which is subject to certain regulatory limitations. The Bank’s source of funding is predominately core deposits, maturities of securities, repayments of loan principal and interest, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The Company monitors interest rate risk by the use of computer simulation modeling to estimate the potential impact on its net interest income under various interest rate scenarios, and by estimating its static interest rate sensitivity position. Another method by which the Company’s interest rate risk position can be estimated is by computing estimated changes in its net portfolio value (“NPV”). This method estimates interest rate risk exposure from movements in interest rates by using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the change in the NPV of discounted cash flows from assets and liabilities. NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the estimated market value of assets minus the estimated market value of liabilities.

Computations for measuring both net interest income and NPV are based on a number of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates and prepayments in mortgage loans and certain types of investments. These computations do not contemplate any actions management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. In addition, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of computing both net interest income and NPV. Should interest rates remain or decrease below current levels, the proportion of adjustable rate loans could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity. In the event of an interest rate change, prepayment levels would likely be different from those assumed in the modeling. Lastly, the ability of many borrowers to repay their adjustable rate debt may decline during a rising interest rate environment.

The Company from time to time utilizes derivatives to manage interest rate risk. Management continuously evaluates the merits of such interest rate risk products but does not anticipate the use of such products to become a major part of the Company’s risk management strategy.

The table below provides an assessment of the risk to net interest income over the next 12 months in the event of a sudden and sustained 1% and 2% increase and decrease in prevailing interest rates (dollars in thousands).

Interest Rate Sensitivity as of March 31, 2018 - Net Interest Income

	Net Interest Income
Changes in Rates	Amount		% Change
+2%	$	105,155	(2.37	)%
+1%	106,465		(1.16	)%
Base	107,711		—
-1%	103,514		(3.90	)%
-2%	95,808		(11.05	)%

The above table is a measurement of the Company’s net interest income at risk, assuming a static balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 and instantaneous parallel changes in interest rates. The Company also monitors interest rate risk under other scenarios including a more gradual movement in market interest rates. This type of scenario can at times produce different modeling results in measuring interest rate risk sensitivity.

This Item 3 includes forward-looking statements. See “Forward-looking Statements and Associated Risks” included in Part I, Item 2 of this Report for a discussion of certain factors that could cause the Company’s actual exposure to market risk to vary materially from that expressed or implied above. These factors include possible changes in economic conditions; interest rate fluctuations, competitive product and pricing pressures within the Company’s markets; and equity and fixed income market fluctuations. Actual experience may also vary materially to the extent that the Company’s assumptions described above prove to be inaccurate.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2018, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were, as of that date, effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of systems of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective systems of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving their control objectives.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent amendments to the ASU that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, the new guidance did not have a material impact on revenue most closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income and expense. The majority of the Company's revenues are from financial instruments and are not within the scope of Topic 606. The Company completed its overall assessment of revenue streams and related contracts, including service charges on deposit accounts, interchange income, and trust and investment brokerage fees. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that ASU 2014-09 did not materially change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue for these revenue streams. The Company also completed its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether certain revenue streams should be reported gross versus net of certain expenses. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that the classification of certain debit card related costs should change and now be reported as expenses versus contra-revenue. This reclassification change resulted in an immaterial impact to both revenue and expense. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of this guidance, a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Consistent with the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior period amounts for the debit card costs noted above.

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under Topic 606 follows:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges and statement rendering, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed (the point in time the Company fills the customer's request). Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs.

Interchange Fee Income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Trust and Investment Product Fees: The Company earns trust and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with trust and brokerage customers to manage assets for investment and/or to transact their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of assets under management at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed (trade date).

Insurance Revenues: The Company earns insurance revenue from commissions derived from the sale of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products. These commissions are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted insurance product to customers.

NOTE 2 - Revenue Recognition (continued)

The following table presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

The amortized cost, unrealized gross gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and fair value of Securities Available-for-Sale at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows:

Securities Available-for-Sale:	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
March 31, 2018
Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions	$	271,135	$	3,893	$	(2,275	)	$	272,753

Total	$	743,642	$	7,149	$	(10,150	)	$	740,641

All mortgage-backed securities in the above table (identified above and throughout this Note 4 as "MBS/CMO - Residential") are residential mortgage-backed securities and guaranteed by government sponsored entities.

Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are included as "Other Investments" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are carried at historical cost and are evaluated for impairment on a periodic basis.  The Company's equity securities consist of one non-controlling investment in a single banking organization at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The original investment totaled $1,350 and other-than-temporary impairment was previously recorded totaling $997. When a decline in fair value below cost is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the unrealized loss must be recognized as a charge to earnings.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at March 31, 2018 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed Securities are not due at a single maturity date and are shown separately in the table below.

Securities Available-for-Sale:	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	2,814	$	2,835
Due after one year through five years	20,970		21,520

Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not considered temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  The Company does not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell these securities, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates. Therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. All mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (MBS/CMO - Residential) in the Company’s portfolio are guaranteed by government sponsored entities, are investment grade, and are performing as expected.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

Derivatives

The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The notional amounts of these interest rate swaps and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $87.3 million at March 31, 2018 and $87.8 million at December 31, 2017. These interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with substantially matching terms. The agreements are considered stand alone derivatives and changes in the fair value of derivatives are reported in earnings as non-interest income.  

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional, principal or contract amounts. There are provisions in the agreements with the counterparties that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed thresholds are collateralized. In addition, the Company minimizes credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

The following table reflects the fair value hedges included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of:

	March 31, 2018				December 31, 2017

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss, general allocations are made for pools of loans, including non-classified loans, homogeneous portfolios of consumer and residential real estate loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on historical averages for loan losses for these portfolios, judgmentally adjusted for current economic factors and portfolio trends.

Loan impairment is reported when full repayment under the terms of the loan is not expected. This methodology is used for all loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality if such loans perform worse than what was expected at the time of acquisition. For purchased loans, the assessment is made at the time of acquisition as well as over the life of the loan. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include real estate loans secured by one-to-four family residences and loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. Individually evaluated loans on non-accrual are generally considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Specific allocations on impaired loans are determined by comparing the loan balance to the present value of expected cash flows or expected collateral proceeds. Allocations are also applied to categories of loans not considered individually impaired but for which the rate of loss is expected to be greater than historical averages, including non-performing consumer or residential real estate loans. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values.

All classes of loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, are generally placed on non-accrual status when scheduled principal or interest payments are past due for 90 days or more or when the borrower’s ability to repay becomes doubtful. For purchased loans, the determination is made at the time of acquisition as well as over the life of the loan. Uncollected accrued interest for each class of loans is reversed against income at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. All classes of loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans are typically charged-off at 180 days past due, or earlier if deemed uncollectible. Exceptions to the non-accrual and charge-off policies are made when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

The following tables present the recorded investment in non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual by class of loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

In certain instances, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of loans. A troubled debt restructuring occurs when the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider due to a borrower’s financial difficulty.   In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. The Company uses the same methodology for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality as for all other loans when determining whether the loan is a troubled debt restructuring.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no loans modified as a troubled debt restructuring. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there was one loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring.

The following tables present the recorded investment of troubled debt restructurings by class of loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The Company had not committed to lending any additional amounts as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The following tables present loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ending March 31, 2018 and 2017:

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0 and resulted in charge-offs of $0 during the three months ending March 31, 2018.

Commercial and Industrial Loans and Leases	—	$	—	$	—

Total	1	$	28	$	28

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $2 and resulted in charge-offs of $0 during the three months ending March 31, 2017.

Additionally, there were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three months ending March 31, 2018 and 2017.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories 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. The Company classifies loans as to credit risk by individually analyzing loans. This analysis includes commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans with an outstanding balance greater than $250. This analysis is typically performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Repurchase Agreements Accounted for as Secured Borrowings

Repurchase agreements are short-term borrowings included in FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings and mature overnight and continuously. Repurchase agreements, which were secured by mortgage-backed securities, totaled $31,796 and $41,499 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Risk could arise when the collateral pledged to a repurchase agreement declines in fair value. The Company minimizes risk by consistently monitoring the value of the collateral pledged. At the point in time where the collateral has declined in fair value, the Company is required to provide additional collateral based on the value of the underlying securities.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company’s operations include three primary segments: core banking, trust and investment advisory services, and insurance operations. The core banking segment involves attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial and agricultural, commercial and agricultural real estate, and residential mortgage loans, primarily in the Company’s local markets. The core banking segment also involves the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The trust and investment advisory services segment involves providing trust, investment advisory, and brokerage services to customers. The insurance segment offers a full range of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products, primarily in the Company’s banking subsidiary’s local markets.

The core banking segment is comprised by the Company’s banking subsidiary, German American Bancorp, which operated through 53 banking offices at March 31, 2018. Effective April 1, 2018, the legal name of German American Bancorp was changed to German American Bank.  Net interest income from loans and investments funded by deposits and borrowings is the primary revenue for the core-banking segment. The trust and investment advisory services segment’s revenues are comprised primarily of fees generated by the trust operations of the Company's banking subsidiary and by German American Investment Services, Inc. These fees are derived by providing trust, investment advisory, and brokerage services to its customers. The insurance segment primarily consists of German American Insurance, Inc., which provides a full line of personal and corporate insurance products. Commissions derived from the sale of insurance products are the primary source of revenue for the insurance segment.

The following segment financial information has been derived from the internal financial statements of the Company which are used by management to monitor and manage financial performance. The accounting policies of the three segments are the same as those of the Company. The evaluation process for segments does not include holding company income and expense. Holding company amounts are the primary differences between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the column labeled “Other” below, along with amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.

Equity Plans and Equity Based Compensation

Equity Plans and Equity Based Compensation

The Company maintains three equity incentive plans under which stock options, restricted stock, and other equity incentive awards can be granted. At March 31, 2018, the Company has reserved 386,754 shares of common stock for the purpose of issuance pursuant to outstanding and future grants of options, restricted stock, and other equity awards to officers, directors and other employees of the Company. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted no options.  The Company recorded no stock compensation expense applicable to options during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 because all outstanding options were fully vested prior to 2007.  In addition, there was no unrecognized option expense. 

During the periods presented, awards of long-term incentives were granted in the form of restricted stock.  Awards that were granted to management under a management incentive plan were granted in tandem with cash credit entitlements (typically in the form of 60% restricted stock grants and 40% cash credit entitlements). The management and employee restricted stock grants and tandem cash credit entitlements awarded will vest in three equal installments of 33.3% with the first annual vesting on December 5th of the year of the grant and on December 5th of the next two succeeding years.  Awards that were granted to directors as additional retainer for their services do not include any cash credit entitlement. These director restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture in the event that the recipient of the grant does not continue in service as a director of the Company through December 5th of the year after grant or does not satisfy certain meeting attendance requirements, at which time they generally vest 100 percent. For measuring compensation costs, restricted stock awards are valued based upon the market value of the common shares on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted awards of 34,860 and 37,890 shares of restricted stock, respectively. Total unvested restricted stock awards at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were 80,716 and 46,306, respectively.

The following table presents expense recorded for restricted stock and cash entitlements as well as the related tax information for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Restricted Stock Expense	$	278		$	306
Cash Entitlement Expense	170			158
Tax Effect	(117		)	(182		)
Net of Tax	$	331		$	282

Unrecognized expense associated with the restricted stock grants and cash entitlements totaled $3,449 and $3,201 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan whereby eligible employees have the option to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount. The purchase price of the shares under this Plan has been set at 95% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the plan year. The plan provided for the purchase of up to 750,000 shares of common stock, which the Company may obtain by purchases on the open market or from private sources, or by issuing authorized but unissued common shares. At March 31, 2018, there were 557,203 shares available for future issuance under this plan. Funding for the purchase of common stock is from employee and Company contributions. 

There was no expense recorded for the employee stock purchase plan during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. There was no unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value

Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Level 3 pricing is obtained from a third-party based upon similar trades that are not traded frequently without adjustment by the Company. At March 31, 2018, the Company held $5.5 million in Level 3 securities which consist of $5.2 million of non-rated Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions and $353 thousand of equity securities that are not actively traded. Absent the credit rating, significant assumptions must be made such that the credit risk input becomes an unobservable input and thus these securities are reported by the Company in a Level 3 classification.

Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans: Fair values for impaired collateral dependent loans are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances includes consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure. Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value in the cost to replace the current property. Value of market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investor's required return. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Comparable sales adjustments are based on known sales prices of similar type and similar use properties and duration of time that the property has been on the market to sell. Such adjustments made in the appraisal process are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Company’s Risk Management Area reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal. In determining the value of impaired collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned, significant unobservable inputs may be used which include: physical condition of comparable properties sold, net operating income generated by the property and investor rates of return.

Other Real Estate: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate (ORE) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property utilizing similar techniques as discussed above for Impaired Loans, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, impairment loss is recognized.

Loan Servicing Rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount resulting in a Level 2 classification. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed, and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data.

Loans Held-for-Sale: The fair values of loans held for sale are determined by using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $7,274 with a valuation allowance of $1,181, resulting in a decrease to the provision for loan losses of $1,047 for the period ended March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, impaired loans resulted in an increase to the provision for loan losses of $278. Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $9,020 with a valuation allowance of $2,228, resulting in an increase to the provision for loan losses of $1,973 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

There was no Other Real Estate carried at fair value less costs to sell at March 31, 2018. No charge to earnings was included in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. There was no Other Real Estate carried at fair value less costs to sell at December 31, 2017. No charge to earnings was included in the year ended December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance (ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities) that requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Also, it requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. These amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company notes that the impact of adoption is to carry the equity security at fair value or at cost, less impairment when fair value is not readily determinable, with observable price changes being recognized in earnings. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and no adjustment to the single equity security was performed upon adoption. Also, upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, this equity security is no longer classified as available-for-sale. For additional information on this equity security, see Note 4 - Securities. Per ASU 2016-01 guidance, the Company reported the fair value of financial instruments based upon an exit price notion for March 31, 2018. For additional information, see Note 11 - Fair Value.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU (ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 320): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments) to address the diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows including the following:

• Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs;

• Settlement of Zero-Coupon Bonds or Debt with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate;

• Contingent Consideration payments Made Soon After a Business Combination;

• Proceeds From the Settlement of Insurance Claims;

• Proceeds From the Settlement of BOLI and COLI Policies;

• Distributions Received From Equity Method Investees;

• Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and

• Application of the Predominance Principle.

These amendments are effective for public business entities beginning January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In March 2017, the FASB amended existing guidance (ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)) to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit costs are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendments are effective for public business entities beginning January 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 and there was no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

In February 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)) that requires lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Based on our leases outstanding as of March 31, 2018, the Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operation. However as a result of this new guidance, the Company anticipates an estimated increase in its Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $6,000. This impact will vary based on the Company's future decisions to enter into new lease agreements or exit/renew current lease agreements prior to the date of implementation.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)) to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period.

The transition to the new standard will be applied as follows:

• For debt securities with other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), the guidance will be applied prospectively.

• Existing purchased credit impaired (PCI) assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption. The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield of such assets as of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance.

• For all other assets within the scope of CECL, a cumulative-effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

The Company has formed a CECL committee that is assessing data and system needs in order to evaluate the impact of adopting the new guidance. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot estimate the amount at this time.

Subsequent Events

On February 12, 2018, German American Bancorp (now known as German American Bank) entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MainSource Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (“MainSource”), which provides for the acquisition by German American Bank of five MainSource Bank branch locations (four in Columbus, Indiana, and one in Greensburg, Indiana), and certain related assets, and the assumption by German American Bank of certain related liabilities.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, German American Bank has agreed to assume approximately $160 million in deposits and purchase approximately $134 million in loans associated with the five bank branches. German American Bank has agreed to pay a purchase price equal to the sum of: (i) 8.0% of the balances of certain checking accounts and other demand withdrawal accounts (excluding governmental accounts with public funds); (ii) 4.5% of the balances of governmental accounts with public funds, excluding time deposits; (iii) 4.5% of the balances of money market and savings deposits, excluding governmental accounts with public funds; (iv) the net book value of all assets, including loans but excluding any accrued interest on such loans; and (v) the accrued interest with respect to purchased loans. The purchase price will be adjusted to reflect increases or decreases in the deposit balances during the six month period following the closing date. Upon written notice, German American Bank will also have the ability to put loans back to MainSource Bank during such six month period. The expected premium to be paid for deposits under the Agreement is approximately $8 million. German American Bank is also assuming the obligations of MainSource Bank related to certain leases covering the five bank branches.

With the previously-announced merger of MainSource and First Financial Bancorp having been completed on April 1, 2018 and all necessary regulatory approvals having been received, the transaction is expected to close on May 18, 2018, subject to other customary closing conditions.

Effective April 1, 2018, the legal name of German American Bancorp was changed to German American Bank. The new name corresponds with the trade name already being used by the banking subsidiary and promotes further distinction in nomenclature between the banking subsidiary and the bank holding company, German American Bancorp, Inc.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of German American Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company") conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods reported have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent amendments to the ASU that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, the new guidance did not have a material impact on revenue most closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income and expense. The majority of the Company's revenues are from financial instruments and are not within the scope of Topic 606. The Company completed its overall assessment of revenue streams and related contracts, including service charges on deposit accounts, interchange income, and trust and investment brokerage fees. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that ASU 2014-09 did not materially change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue for these revenue streams. The Company also completed its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether certain revenue streams should be reported gross versus net of certain expenses. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that the classification of certain debit card related costs should change and now be reported as expenses versus contra-revenue. This reclassification change resulted in an immaterial impact to both revenue and expense. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of this guidance, a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Consistent with the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior period amounts for the debit card costs noted above.

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under Topic 606 follows:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges and statement rendering, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed (the point in time the Company fills the customer's request). Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs.

Interchange Fee Income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Trust and Investment Product Fees: The Company earns trust and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with trust and brokerage customers to manage assets for investment and/or to transact their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of assets under management at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed (trade date).

Insurance Revenues: The Company earns insurance revenue from commissions derived from the sale of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products. These commissions are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted insurance product to customers.

Schedule of Carrying Amounts and Estimated Fair Values of Company's Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not previously presented are provided in the tables below for the periods ending March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Not all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments, and therefore are not included in the tables. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were based on subjective judgments, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. In accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-01, the tables below present the fair values measured using an exit price notion. The fair value of loans as of December 31, 2017 was measured using an entrance price notion.
