CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Exhibits, filings incorporated by reference, reports to shareholders, and other communications that represent the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions are made in good faith pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:

● the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;

● the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System;

● inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

● timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;

● the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and vice versa;

● the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations, including laws about taxes, banking, securities, and insurance, and the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;

● the impact of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and federal banking regulators’ continued implementation of programs to address capital and liquidity in the banking system;

● further, future, and proposed rules, including those that are part of the process outlined in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems,” which require banking institutions to increase levels of capital;

● technological changes;

● the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;

● the growth and profitability of noninterest, or fee, income being less than expected;

● unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings;

● changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and

● the Company’s success at managing the risks mentioned above.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. If one or more of the factors affecting these forward-looking statements proves incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements. The Company does not intend to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, to reflect changes. These cautionary statements expressly qualify all forward-looking statements that apply to the Company including the risk factors presented in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General

First Community Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, was founded in 1989 and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2018. The Company is the successor to First Community Bancshares, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reincorporation and Merger, the sole purpose of which was to change the Company’s state of incorporation from Nevada to Virginia. The Company’s principal executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. The Company provides banking products and services to individual and commercial customers through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution founded in 1874. The Bank operates as First Community Bank in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and People’s Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee. The Bank offers wealth management and investment advice through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”). Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices in the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of all operations, including commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, wealth management, and insurance services. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, and disclosures for a fair presentation.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2019. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or net cash flow.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that require the most subjective or complex judgments relate to fair value measurements, investment securities, the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes. A discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 2 of this report.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Standards

Standards Adopted in 2019

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements.” This ASU makes changes to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 became effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2018-09 in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of the standard had no material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The ASU intends to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. ASU 2017-12 became effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of the standard had no material effect on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring more disclosures related to leasing transactions. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, which allows entities the option to apply the provisions of the new guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” which updates narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02, as well as issuing ASU 2018-11, which allows entities to choose an additional transition method in which an entity is allowed to apply the standard at adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption  Under this method, the entity shall recognize and measure the leases that exist at the adoption date and the prior comparative periods are not adjusted.  The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 January 1, 2019, electing to recognize and measure existing leases at the adoption date with no adjustments to prior periods.   In addition, the Company elected the practical expedients of not re-assessing the classifications of existing leases, not re-assessing if existing leases have initial direct costs, or examining expired or existing contracts to determine if a lease exists.  All of the current leases are classified as operating leases.  The adoption of the standard resulted in a right-of-use asset of $915 thousand and a lease liability of $915 thousand which are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 

10

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU intends to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, the update amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2020 and recognize a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company has established a working group to prepare for, and implement changes related to, the standard and has engaged a third-party vendor solution to assist in the application of the standard. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, but expects that the impact of adoption could be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics, and quality of the Company’s loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. The adoption of the standard could result in significant changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which may include changes in the level of the allowance for credit losses that will be considered adequate, a reduction in shareholders’ equity and regulatory capital, differences in the timing of recognizing changes to the allowance for credit losses, expanded disclosures about the allowance for credit losses, and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the allowance for credit losses.

The Company does not expect other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

There were 35 individual debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2019, and their combined depreciation in value represented 0.35% of the debt securities portfolio. There were 90 individual debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2018, and their combined depreciation in value represented 0.74% of the debt securities portfolio.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for indications of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The initial indicator of OTTI for debt securities is a decline in fair value below book value and the severity and duration of the decline. The credit-related OTTI is recognized as a charge to noninterest income and the noncredit-related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred no OTTI charges on debt securities. Temporary impairment on debt securities is primarily related to changes in benchmark interest rates, changes in pricing in the credit markets, and other current economic factors.

There were no gross realized gains or losses from the sale of available-for-sale debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. The carrying amount of securities pledged for various purposes totaled $27.14 million as of March 31, 2019, and $38.25 million as of December 31, 2018.

Note 3. Loans

The Company groups loans held for investment into three segments (commercial loans, consumer real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are those loans acquired in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. Customer overdrafts reclassified as loans totaled $1.60 million as of March 31, 2019, and $1.79 million as of December 31, 2018. Deferred loan fees, net of loan costs, totaled $4.23 million as of March 31, 2019, and $4.60 million as of December 31, 2018. For information about off-balance sheet financing, see Note 14, “Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

The Company identifies certain purchased loans as impaired when fair values are established at acquisition and groups those purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans into loan pools with common risk characteristics. The Company estimates cash flows to be collected on PCI loans and discounts those cash flows at a market rate of interest.

The following table presents the recorded investment and contractual unpaid principal balance of PCI loans, by acquisition, as of the dates indicated:

Note 4. Credit Quality

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan in its portfolio. Loan risk ratings may be upgraded or downgraded to reflect current information identified during the loan review process. The general characteristics of each risk grade are as follows:

● Pass -- This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on borrower characteristics that include capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity, leverage, and industry conditions.

● Special Mention -- This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment may worsen.

● Substandard -- This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, possible. These loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, or events outside the normal course of business to meet repayment terms.

● Doubtful -- This grade is assigned to loans that have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.

● Loss -- This grade is assigned to loans that will be charged off or charged down when payments, including the timing and value of payments, are uncertain. This risk grade does not imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off, either all or a portion of, the loan balance even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

15

The following tables present the recorded investment of the loan portfolio, by loan class and credit quality, as of the dates indicated. Losses on covered loans are generally reimbursable by the FDIC at the applicable loss share percentage, 80%; therefore, covered loans are disclosed separately.

The Company identifies loans for potential impairment through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, ongoing loan review, renewal processes, delinquency data, market communications, and public information. If the Company determines that it is probable all principal and interest amounts contractually due will not be collected, the loan is generally deemed impaired.

(1) Total impaired loans include loans totaling $24.41 million as of March 31, 2019, and $25.27 million as of December 31, 2018, that do not meet the Company's evaluation threshold for individual impairment and are therefore collectively evaluated for impairment. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company changed the threshold for quarterly reviews of individual loans that are deemed to be impaired from $250 thousand to $500 thousand or greater.

The following tables present the aging of past due loans, by loan class, as of the dates indicated. Nonaccrual loans 30 days or more past due are included in the applicable delinquency category. Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. Non-covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more totaled $156 thousand as of March 31, 2019, compared to $58 thousand as of December 31, 2018.

The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Restructured loans in excess of $250 thousand are evaluated for a specific reserve based on either the collateral or net present value method, whichever is most applicable. Restructured loans under $250 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation at the historical loss rate for classified loans. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. PCI loans are generally not considered TDRs as long as the loans remain in the assigned loan pool. No covered loans were recorded as TDRs as of March 31, 2019, or December 31, 2018.

The following table presents loans modified as TDRs, by loan class and accrual status, as of the dates indicated:

Note 8. Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”; the standard was adopted prospectively. The Company currently has two operating leases that are recorded as a right of use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liability. The right of use asset is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet; while the lease liability is recorded in other liabilities. The ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The current ROU asset and lease liability were recognized at the adoption date of January 1, 2019 based on the present value of the remaining lease payemnts using a discount rate that represented our incremental borrowing rate at the time of adoption. The lease expense which is comprised of the amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s current operating leases relate primarily to bank branches with remaining terms of 1 to 10 years. As of March 31, 2019, the ROU asset and lease liability were $895 thousand and $899 thousand, respectively. The weigted average discount rate was 3.34% as of March 31, 2019.

Future minimum lease payments as of March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Year	Amount
(Amounts in thousands)
2020	$	115
2021		101
2022		101

Note 9. Borrowings

The following table presents the components of borrowings as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2019					December 31, 2018
(Amounts in thousands)	Balance		Weighted Average Rate			Balance		Weighted Average Rate

Long-term borrowings
Wholesale repurchase agreement		-					25,000		3.18	%
Total borrowings	$	3,700				$	29,370

Repurchase agreements are secured by certain securities that remain under the Company’s control during the terms of the agreements. The Company’s remaining wholesale repurchase agreement of $25 million matured during the first quarter. The Company repaid the borrowing with current liquidity.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no long-term borrowings.

Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB totaled $397.66 million, net of FHLB letters of credit of $144.38 million, as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company pledged $856.76 million in qualifying loans to secure the FHLB letters of credit, which provide an attractive alternative to pledging securities for public unit deposits.

The Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution with an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% that renewed in April 2019. There was no outstanding balance on the line as of March 31, 2019, or December 31, 2018.

Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that fluctuations in external factors such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors will adversely affect economic value or net interest income.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of three interest rate swap agreements. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to modify its exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. These instruments are used to convert these fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the LIBOR rate falls below the loan’s stated fixed rate for a given period, the Company will owe the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. If LIBOR is above the stated rate for a given period, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as fair value hedging instruments; therefore, fair value changes in the derivative and hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period. The fair value hedges were effective as of March 31, 2019. The following table presents the notional, or contractual, amounts and fair values of derivative instruments as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2019							December 31, 2018

Note 14. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value hierarchy ranks the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

● Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets

● Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability

● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. The Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value might be highly subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, valuations may not be precise. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Debt securities available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of Level 1 securities is based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities use fair value measurements from independent pricing services obtained by the Company. These fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and bond terms and conditions. The Company’s Level 2 securities include U.S. Agency and Treasury securities, municipal securities, single issue trust preferred securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Securities are based on Level 3 inputs when there is limited activity or less transparency to the valuation inputs. In the absence of observable or corroborated market data, internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions are used when such information is available.

Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current, or pricing variations are significant. For Level 3 securities, the Company obtains the cash flow of specific securities from third parties that use modeling software to determine cash flows based on market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security. The fair values of Level 3 securities are determined by applying proper market observable discount rates to the cash flow derived from third-party models. Discount rates are developed by determining credit spreads above a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, and adding premiums for illiquidity, which are based on a comparison of initial issuance spread to LIBOR versus a financial sector curve for recently issued debt to LIBOR. Securities with increased uncertainty about the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal specific credit premium based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of specific markets and the general economic indicators.

Equity Securities. Equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. Equity securities that are not actively traded are classified in Level 2.

Loans Held for Investment. Loans held for investment are reported at fair value using the exit price notion, which is derived from third-party models. Loans related to fair value hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities. Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These securities include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans, which are generally invested in Level 1 equity securities. The liability associated with these deferred compensation plans is carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities. Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company obtains dealer quotes, Level 2 inputs, based on observable data to value derivatives.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when repayment is expected solely from the sale of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is based on appraised value adjusted for customized discounting criteria, Level 3 inputs.

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. The impairment review includes obtaining third-party collateral valuations to help management identify potential credit impairment and determine the amount of impairment to record. The Company’s Special Assets staff manages and monitors all impaired loans. Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of identifying the initial potential impairment. The internal valuation compares the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and considers experience and expected liquidation costs. The Company typically receives a third-party valuation within thirty to forty-five days of completing the internal valuation. When a third-party valuation is received, it is reviewed for reasonableness. Once the valuation is reviewed and accepted, discounts are applied to fair market value, based on, but not limited to, our historical liquidation experience for like collateral, resulting in an estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific impairment reserve.

Specific reserves are generally recorded for impaired loans while third-party valuations are in process and for impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment. While waiting to receive the third-party appraisal, the Company regularly reviews the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments and begins the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare it for liquidation, including, but not limited to, engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower. Generally, the only difference between the current appraised value, less liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan, less the specific reserve, is any downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company deems appropriate, such as the costs to sell the property. Impaired loans that do not meet certain criteria and do not have a specific reserve have typically been written down through partial charge-offs to net realizable value. Based on prior experience, the Company rarely returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Credits identified as impaired move quickly through the process towards ultimate resolution, except in cases involving bankruptcy and various state judicial processes that may extend the time for ultimate resolution.

32

OREO. OREO is recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company calculates the fair value of OREO from current or prior appraisals that have been adjusted for valuation declines, estimated selling costs, and other proprietary qualitative adjustments that are deemed necessary.

The following tables present assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, by the level of valuation inputs in the fair value hierarchy, as of the dates indicated:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses various methodologies and assumptions to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments. A description of valuation methodologies used for instruments not previously discussed is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities. Securities held to maturity are reported at fair value using quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. The FDIC indemnification asset is reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current discount rates.

33

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable. Accrued interest receivable/payable is reported at its carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. Deposits and repurchase agreements with fixed maturities and rates are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available in the market for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities.

FHLB and Other Borrowings. FHLB and other borrowings are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities. Trust preferred obligations are reported at fair value using current credit spreads in the market for similar issues.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The Company believes that fair values of unfunded commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees are not meaningful; therefore, off-balance sheet instruments are not addressed in the fair value disclosures. The Company believes it is not feasible or practical to accurately disclose the fair values of off-balance sheet instruments due to the uncertainty and difficulty in assessing the likelihood and timing of advancing available proceeds, the lack of an established market for these instruments, and the diversity in fee structures. For additional information about the unfunded, contractual value of off-balance sheet financial instruments, see Note 14, “Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Note 15. Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims. While the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, the Company believes the resolution of these actions, singly or in the aggregate, should not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. If the other party to a financial instrument does not perform, the Company’s credit loss exposure is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn on, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of each customer on a case-by-case basis. Collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. The Company maintains a reserve for the risk inherent in unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, to secure the customer’s performance under certain letters of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and other financial information included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.

Executive Overview

First Community Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company, headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, that provides banking products and services through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia chartered bank institution. As of March 31, 2019, the Bank operated 44 branches as First Community Bank in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and as People’s Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee. As of March 31, 2019, full-time equivalent employees, calculated using the number of hours worked, totaled 518. Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, which is supplemented by fees for services, commissions on sales, and various deposit service charges. We fund our lending and investing activities primarily through the retail deposit operations of our branch banking network and, to a lesser extent, retail and wholesale repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings. We invest our funds primarily in loans to retail and commercial customers and various investment securities. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol, FCBC.

The Bank offers trust management, estate administration, and investment advisory services through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”). The Trust Division manages inter vivos trusts and trusts under will, develops and administers employee benefit and individual retirement plans, and manages and settles estates. Fiduciary fees for these services are charged on a schedule related to the size, nature, and complexity of the account. Revenues consist primarily of investment advisory fees and commissions on assets under management and administration. As of March 31, 2019, the Trust Division and FCWM managed and administered $1.02 billion in combined assets under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

On September 17, 2018, the Company announced its intention to sell its remaining insurance agency assets to Bankers Insurance, LLC (“BI”) of Glen Allen, Virginia in exchange for an equity interest in BI. The sale, which closed October 1, 2018, strategically allowed the Company to continue offering insurance products to its customers through a larger, more diversified insurance agency. In connection with the decision to divest the insurance agency assets, the Company recognized a one-time goodwill impairment charge of $1.49 million during the third quarter of 2018. The Company used the fair value of the equity interest in BI as the basis for determining the goodwill impairment.

On October 2, 2018, we completed our Plan of Reincorporation and Merger changing our corporate domicile from Nevada to Virginia, along with a slight revision in the spelling of our name from First Community Bancshares, Inc. to First Community Bankshares, Inc.

36

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations may require management to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance. Due to the level of subjectivity and the susceptibility of such matters to change, actual results could differ significantly from management’s assumptions and estimates. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which are periodically evaluated, are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve, or when an asset or liability needs recorded based on the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices, when available, or third-party sources. When quoted prices or third-party information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.

Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this report. Our accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019, and in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2018 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are detailed in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2018 Form 10-K.

Performance Overview

Highlights of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and financial condition as of March 31, 2019, include the following:

● Net income increased $763 thousand, or 8.60%, to $9.63 million compared to the same quarter of 2018.

● Diluted earnings per share increased $.08 to $.60 compared to the same quarter of 2018, for an increase of 15.38%.

● Return on average assets for the quarter increased to 1.75%. Return on average equity for the quarter increased to 11.77%.

● Net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 4.60% compared to the same quarter of 2018.

● The Company’s remaining wholesale repurchase agreement of $25 million matured during the first quarter. The Company repaid the borrowing with current liquidity, which should result in annualized net pre-tax savings of $378 thousand. This culminates the Company’s 5-year strategic shift back to a more traditional community bank balance sheet, during which the Company paid off $200 million in wholesale debt.

● The Company received $1.68 million from litigation settlements during the first quarter.

● Book value per common share increased $0.27 to $21.06, and tangible book value per common share increased $0.20 to a record $14.89, compared to December 31, 2018.

● The Company repurchased 232,900 common shares for $7.78 million during the quarter.

● The Company and its subsidiary bank both significantly exceed regulatory “well capitalized” targets as of March 31, 2019.

(1) FTE basis based on the federal statutory rate of 21% for periods after January 1, 2018, and 35% for periods prior to January 1, 2018

Three-Month Comparison. Net interest income comprised 73.30% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 77.04% in the same quarter of 2018. Net interest income on a GAAP basis decreased $193 thousand, or 0.86%, compared to a decrease of $411 thousand, or 1.80%, on a FTE basis. The net interest margin on a FTE basis increased 22 basis points and the net interest spread on a FTE basis increased 23 basis points. The increase in the net interest margin and the net interest spread are primarily attributable to the Company’s strategy to shift back to a more traditional community bank balance sheet through the payoffs of higher-rate wholesale debt.

Average earning assets decreased $136.07 million, or 6.44%, primarily due to a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits as well as average loans. The yield on earning assets increased 13 basis points as the yields in interest-bearing deposits and the available-for-sale investment portfolio increased. Average loans decreased $40.71 million, or 2.25%, and the average loan to deposit ratio increased to 95.59% from 94.67% in the same quarter of 2018. Non-cash accretion income decreased $1.08 million, or 58.59%, due to continued acquired portfolio attrition.

Average interest-bearing liabilities, which consist of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, decreased $149 million, or 9.59%, primarily due to a decline in average borrowings. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points. Average borrowings decreased $60.91 million, or 76.67%, largely due to a $50 million, or 100.00%, decrease in FHLB advances as well as a decrease in average wholesale repurchase agreements of $9.72 million, or 38.89%. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $88.09 million, or 5.97%, which was driven by a $55.09 million, or 11.16%, decrease in average time deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

Three-Month Comparison. The provision charged to operations increased $725 thousand, or 146.46%, to $1.22 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter of 2018. For additional information, see “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section below.

Total noninterest income	$	8,080		$	6,668		$	1,412			21.18	%

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest income comprised 26.70% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 22.96% in the same quarter of 2018. Noninterest income increased $1.41 million, or 21.18%, primarily due to $1.68 million received from litigation settlements. Other service charges and fees increased $192 thousand, or 10.34%, primarily due to an increase of $159 thousand in net interchange income. Increases in noninterest income were offset by the decrease in insurance commissions as a result of the divestiture of the remaining insurance agency in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition there was an increase in net amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset. Excluding the impact from litigation settlements and net FDIC and indemnification asset amortization, noninterest income decreased $93 thousand, or 1.31%, to $6.96 million in the first quarter of 2018, from $7.05 million in the same quarter of 2018.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the components of, and changes in, noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Increase
	2019		2018		(Decrease)			% Change
(Amounts in thousands)
Salaries and employee benefits	$	9,166	$	9,441	$	(275	)		-2.91	%

Total noninterest expense	$	16,785	$	17,116	$	(331	)		-1.93	%

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest expense decreased $331 thousand, or 1.93%, in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter of 2018, which was largely due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $275 thousand and a decrease in other operating expense of $199 thousand. These decreases were offset by increases in service fees of $202 thousand as well as an increase of $107 thousand in professional fees.

Income Tax Expense

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the new law establishes a new, flat corporate federal statutory income tax rate of 21%; eliminates the corporate alternative minimum tax and allows the use of any such carryforwards to offset regular tax liability for any taxable year; limits the deduction for net interest expense incurred by U.S. corporations; allows businesses to immediately expense the cost of new investments in certain qualified depreciable assets for tax purposes; eliminates or reduces certain deductions related to meals and entertainment expenses; modifies the limitation on excessive employee remuneration to eliminate the exception for performance-based compensation and clarifies the definition of a covered employee; and limits the deductibility of deposit insurance premiums.

Three-Month Comparison. The Company’s effective tax rate, income tax as a percent of pre-tax income, may vary significantly from the statutory rate due to permanent differences and available tax credits. Permanent differences are income and expense items excluded by law in the calculation of taxable income. The Company’s most significant permanent differences generally include interest income on municipal securities and increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies. The Tax Reform Act enacted on December 22, 2017, reduced our federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018. Income tax expense increased $62 thousand, or 2.41%, primarily due to the increase in pretax net income. The effective tax rate decreased to 21.45% in the first quarter of 2019 from 22.46% in the same quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide investors with important information useful in understanding our operational performance and comparing our financial measures with other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measure presented in this report includes net interest income on a FTE basis. We believe FTE basis is the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides better comparability between taxable and tax exempt amounts. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage the composition of our balance sheet. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income from certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 21%. While we believe certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance understanding of our business and performance, they are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared on a GAAP basis. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions. The reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures are presented below.

The following table reconciles net interest income and margin, as presented in our consolidated statements of income, to net interest income on a FTE basis for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018

Net interest margin, FTE		4.60	%		4.38	%

(1) FTE basis based on the federal statutory rate of 21% for periods after January 1, 2018.

Financial Condition

Total assets as of March 31, 2019, decreased $2.04 million, or 0.09% from December 31, 2018. In addition, total liabilities as of March 31, 2019, decreased $2.28 million, or 0.12% from December 31, 2018.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities are used to generate interest income through the employment of excess funds, to provide liquidity, to fund loan demand or deposit liquidation, and to pledge as collateral where required. The composition of our investment portfolio changes from time to time as we consider our liquidity needs, interest rate expectations, asset/liability management strategies, and capital requirements.

Available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2019, decreased $20.52 million, or 13.40%, compared to December 31, 2018. The market value of debt securities available for sale as a percentage of amortized cost was 100.65% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 99.76% as of December 31, 2018. The remaining debt securities held in the held-to-maturity portfolio matured during the first quarter. The funds were used to repay the Company’s remaining wholesale repurchase agreement of $25 million.

41

Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges. We recognized no OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. For additional information, see Note 2, “Debt Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment, our largest component of interest income, are grouped into commercial, consumer real estate, and consumer and other loan segments. Each segment is divided into various loan classes based on collateral or purpose. Certain loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions are covered under loss share agreements (“covered loans”). Total loans held for investment, net of unearned income, as of March 31, 2019, decreased $37.70 million, or 2.14%, compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to an $36.36 million, or 2.07%, decrease in non-covered loans, which was driven by declines in owner occupied construction; multi-family residential; non-farm, non-residential and commercial and industrial segments. Covered loans decreased $1.34 million, or 7.12%, as the covered Waccamaw portfolio continues to pay down. For additional information, see Note 3, “Loans,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The following table presents loans, net of unearned income, with non-covered loans by loan class as of the dates indicated:

Risk Elements

We seek to mitigate credit risk by following specific underwriting practices and by ongoing monitoring of our loan portfolio. Our underwriting practices include the analysis of borrowers’ prior credit histories, financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow projections; valuation of collateral based on independent appraisers’ reports; and verification of liquid assets. We believe our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various loan types we offer; however, losses may occur that exceed the reserves established in our allowance for loan losses. We track certain credit quality indicators that include: trends related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions. The Company’s loan review function generally analyzes all commercial loan relationships greater than $4.00 million annually and at various times during the year. Smaller commercial and retail loans are sampled for review during the year.

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accrual loans contractually past due 90 days or more, unseasoned troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and OREO. Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification due to changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, or resolution efforts. Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. For additional information, see Note 4, “Credit Quality,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

(1)	TDRs restructured within the past six months and nonperforming TDRs exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $ 800 thousand, $898 thousand, and $115 thousand for the periods ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018, respectively.
(2)	TDRs with six months or more of satisfactory payment performance exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $2.06 million, $1.68 million, and $1.89 million for the periods ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018, respectively.
(3)	Total TDRs exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $2.86 million, $2.58 million, and $2.01 million for the periods ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018, respectively.

Non-covered nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2019, decreased $170 thousand, or 0.72%, from December 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in non-covered nonaccrual loans offset by an increase in troubled debt restructurings. Non-covered nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2019, decreased $1.04 million, or 5.31%, from December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, non-covered nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to single family owner occupied (49.78%) and non-farm, non-residential (19.19%) loans. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $1.57 million, or 8.47%, of non-covered nonaccrual loans were attributed to performing loans acquired in business combinations. Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to estimated realizable value or assigned specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses based on management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.

44

Non-covered delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $29.53 million as of March 31, 2019, a decrease of $354 thousand, or 1.18%, compared to $29.89 million as of December 31, 2018. Non-covered delinquent loans as a percent of total non-covered loans totaled 1.72% as of March 31, 2019, which includes past due loans (0.64%) and nonaccrual loans (1.08%).

When restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we generally make concessions in interest rates, loan terms, or amortization terms. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming when modified and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. Accruing TDRs as of March 31, 2019, increased $62 thousand, or 0.96%, to $6.49 million from December 31, 2018. Unseasoned and nonperforming accruing TDRs as of March 31, 2019, increased $674 thousand to $835 thousand compared to December 31, 2018. Unseasoned and nonperforming accruing TDRs as a percent of total accruing TDRs totaled 12.87% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 2.51% as of December 31, 2018. Specific reserves on TDRs totaled $481 thousand as of March 31, 2019, compared to $568 thousand as of December 31, 2018.

Non-covered OREO, which is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost, increased $97 thousand, or 2.55%, as of March 31, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, and consisted of 24 properties with an average holding period of 9 months. The net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $364 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $103 thousand for the same period of the prior year. The following table presents the changes in OREO during the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

 Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by loans charged off. The provision for loan losses is calculated and charged to expense to bring the allowance to an appropriate level using a systematic process of measurement that requires significant judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2019, our qualitative risk factors reflect a stable risk of loan losses due to consistent asset quality metrics and relatively stable business and economic conditions in our primary market areas. The loan portfolio is continually monitored for deterioration in credit, which may result in the need to increase the allowance for loan losses in future periods. Management considered the allowance adequate as of March 31, 2019; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance will not be required in future periods. For additional information, see Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2019, decreased $24 thousand, or 0.13%, from December 31, 2018. The non-PCI allowance as a percent of non-covered loans totaled 1.04% as of March 31, 2019, compared to 1.03% as of December 31, 2018. PCI loans were aggregated into five loan pools as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018: Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples Bank of Virginia (“Peoples”) commercial, and Peoples residential. The cash flow analysis identified no impaired PCI loan pools as of March 31, 2019, or December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs increased $973 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in net charge-offs was driven by one loan relationship in the multi-family segment and three larger relationships in the owner occupied single family segment.

The following table presents the changes in the allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2019								2018

Deposits

Total deposits as of March 31, 2019, increased $22.69 million, or 1.22%, compared to December 31, 2018. The increase was largely attributable to non-interest bearing demand accounts which increased $19.75 million, or 4.30%. Other increases included $8.71 million in savings deposits, which consist of money market and savings accounts; and interest-bearing demand with an increase of $5.90 million. Time deposits, which consist of certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts, decreased $11.66 million compared to December 31, 2018.

Borrowings

Total borrowings as of March 31, 2019, decreased $25.67 million, or 87.40%, compared to December 31, 2018. During the first quarter the Company’s remaining wholesale repurchase agreement of $25 million matured. The Company repaid the borrowing with current liquidity, which should result in annualized net pre-tax savings of $378 thousand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to convert assets to cash or raise cash to meet financial obligations. We believe that liquidity management should encompass an overall balance sheet approach that draws together all sources and uses of liquidity. Poor or inadequate liquidity risk management may result in a funding deficit that could have a material impact on our operations. We maintain a liquidity risk management policy and contingency funding policy (“Liquidity Plan”) to detect potential liquidity issues and protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes various internal and external indicators that are reviewed on a recurring basis by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. ALCO reviews liquidity risk exposure and policies related to liquidity management; ensures that systems and internal controls are consistent with liquidity policies; and provides accurate reports about liquidity needs, sources, and compliance. The Liquidity Plan involves ongoing monitoring and estimation of potentially credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows during a funding crisis. The liquidity model incorporates various funding crisis scenarios and a specific action plan is formulated, and activated, when a financial shock that affects our normal funding activities is identified. Generally, the plan will reflect a strategy of replacing liability outflows with alternative liabilities, rather than balance sheet asset liquidity, to the extent that significant premiums can be avoided. If alternative liabilities are not available, outflows will be met through liquidation of balance sheet assets, including unpledged securities.

As a financial holding company, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends received from the Bank, which are subject to certain regulatory limitations. Other sources of liquidity include cash, investment securities, and borrowings. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s cash reserves totaled $13.77 million and availability on an unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution totaled $15.00 million. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of March 31, 2019. The Company’s cash reserves and investments provide adequate working capital to meet obligations, projected dividends to shareholders, and anticipated debt repayments for the next twelve months.

In addition to cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions, we rely on customer deposits, cash flows from loans and investment securities, and lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window to meet potential liquidity demands. These sources of liquidity are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and our operations. Secondary sources of liquidity include approved lines of credit with correspondent banks and unpledged available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2019, our unencumbered cash totaled $148.55 million, unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled $397.66 million, available credit from the FRB Discount Window totaled $6.00 million, available lines from correspondent banks totaled $90.00 million, and unpledged available-for-sale securities totaled $105.46 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the components of cash flow for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
(Amounts in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	14,093		$	10,833
Net cash provided by investing activities		71,642			3,174
Net cash (provided by) used in financing activities		(14,062	)		33,182
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents		71,673			47,189
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning balance		76,873			157,951
Cash and cash equivalents, ending balance	$	148,546		$	205,140

Cash and cash equivalents increased $71.67 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to an increase of $47.19 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $68.47 million increase in net cash used in investing activities due to a net increase in loan proceeds as well as proceeds from maturities, calls and prepayments in the investment portfolios. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $47.24 million largely due to decreases in deposits as well as the repayment of the Company’s remaining wholesale repurchase agreement. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $3.30 million primarily due to a decrease in accretion on acquired loans.

Capital Resources

We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material impact on our operations. Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2019, increased $245 thousand, or 0.07%, to $333.10 million from $332.86 million as of December 31, 2018. The change in stockholders’ equity was largely due to the repurchase of 232,900 shares of our common stock totaling $7.78 million and dividends declared on our common stock of $3.32 million, offset by net income of $9.63 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $696 thousand to $733 thousand as of March 31, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to net unrealized gains on securities. In accordance with current regulatory guidelines, accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is largely excluded from stockholders' equity in the calculation of our capital ratios. Our book value per common share increased $0.27 or 1.30% to $21.06 as of March 31, 2019, from $20.79 as of December 31, 2018.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Risk-based capital guidelines, issued by state and federal banking agencies, include balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet arrangements weighted by the risks inherent in the specific asset type. Our current risk-based capital requirements, based on the international capital standards known as Basel III, became effective on January 1, 2015, subject to a four-year phase-in period. Basel III’s capital conservation buffer became effective on January 1, 2016, at 0.625%, and was phased in over a four-year period (increasing by an additional 0.625% each year reaching 2.5% on January 1, 2019). A description of the Basel III capital rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of the 2018 Form 10-K. Our current required capital ratios are as follows:

● 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 6.50% including the capital conservation buffer)

● 6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 8.00% including the capital conservation buffer)

● 8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 10.00% including the capital conservation buffer)

● 4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (“Tier 1 leverage ratio”)

47

The following table presents our capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
	Company	Bank	Company	Bank
Common equity Tier 1 ratio	14.00%	12.86%	13.72%	12.55%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	14.00%	12.86%	13.72%	12.55%
Total risk-based capital ratio	15.09%	13.95%	14.79%	13.62%
Tier 1 leverage ratio	11.10%	10.19%	10.95%	9.98%

Our risk-based capital ratios as of March 31, 2019, increased from December 31, 2018, due to a increase in Tier 1 and total risk-based capital. As of March 31, 2019, we continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements and were classified as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes there have been no conditions or events since those notifications that would change the Bank’s classification. Additionally, our capital ratios were in excess of the minimum standards under the Basel III capital rules on a fully phased-in basis as of March 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We extend contractual commitments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to financial instruments is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument. The following table presents our off-balance sheet arrangements as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
(Amounts in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	198,868	$	215,239
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees (1)		149,610		149,494
Total off-balance sheet risk	$	348,478	$	364,733
Reserve for unfunded commitments	$	66	$	66

(1) Includes FHLB letters of credit

Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to adverse changes in current and future cash flows, fair values, earnings, or capital due to movements in interest rates and other factors. Our profitability is largely dependent upon net interest income, which is subject to variation due to changes in the interest rate environment and unbalanced repricing opportunities. We are subject to interest rate risk when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reprice at differing times, when underlying rates change at different levels or in varying degrees, when there is an unequal change in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities, and when embedded options, if any, are exercised. ALCO reviews our mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment. ALCO is also responsible for overseeing the formulation and implementation of policies and strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and mitigate the effect of interest rate changes.

In order to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, we periodically review internal simulation and third-party models that project net interest income at risk, which measures the impact of different interest rate scenarios on net interest income, and the economic value of equity at risk, which measures potential long-term risk in the balance sheet by valuing our assets and liabilities at fair value under different interest rate scenarios. Simulation results show the existence and severity of interest rate risk in each scenario based on our current balance sheet position, assumptions about changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and estimated yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities. The simulation model provides the best tool available to us and the industry for managing interest rate risk; however, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income due to the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes; changes in market conditions and customer behavior; and changes in our strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock.

48

At March 31, 2019 the Federal Open Market Committee had set the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 225 to 250 basis points. The following table presents the sensitivity of net interest income from immediate and sustained rate shocks in various interest rate scenarios over a twelve-month period for the periods indicated.

	March 31, 2019						December 31, 2018
	Change in			Percent			Change in			Percent
Increase (Decrease) in Basis Points	Net Interest Income			Change			Net Interest Income			Change
(Dollars in thousands)
300	$	7			0.0	%	$	(1,215	)		-1.3	%
200		318			0.4	%		(545	)		-0.6	%
100		297			0.3	%		(135	)		-0.1	%
(100)		(3,663	)		-4.1	%		(3,322	)		-3.7	%
(200)		(7,815	)		-8.7	%		(7,525	)		-8.4	%

The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. As of March 31, 2019, we maintained interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $5.40 million to modify our exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. The fair values of the swap agreements, which are accounted for as fair value hedges, were recorded as a derivative liability totaling $76 thousand as of March 31, 2019, and a derivative asset totaling $12 thousand as of December 31, 2018. For additional information, see Note 9, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of results of operations and financial position in historical dollars. Inflation may cause a rise in price levels and changes in the relative purchasing power of money. These inflationary effects are not reflected in historical dollar measurements. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the price of goods and services; therefore, the effect of inflation on businesses with large investments in property, plant, and inventory is generally more significant than the effect on financial institutions. The U.S. inflation rate continues to be relatively stable, and management believes that any changes in inflation will not be material to our financial performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The information required in this item is incorporated by reference to “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in Item 1 of this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or management’s override of the controls.

49

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each matter with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Our risk factors discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial performance. If any of the risks occur and the market price of our common stock declines significantly, individuals may lose all, or part, of their investment in our Company. Individuals should carefully consider our risk factors and information included, or incorporated by reference, in this report before making an investment decision. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, the following risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all risks we face. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2017 Form 10-K.
