Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IBERIABANK Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IBERIABANK, Lenders Title Company ("LTC"), IBERIA Capital Partners LLC ("ICP"), IB Aircraft Holdings, LLC, IBERIA Asset Management Inc. ("IAM"), and IBERIA CDE, LLC ("CDE"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have been included. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company offers commercial and retail banking products and services to customers throughout locations in six states through IBERIABANK. The Company also operates mortgage production offices in twelve states through IBERIABANK Mortgage Company ("IMC"), and offers a full line of title insurance and closing services throughout Arkansas and Louisiana through LTC and its subsidiaries. ICP provides equity research, institutional sales and trading, and corporate finance services. IB Aircraft Holdings, LLC owns a fractional share of an aircraft used by management of the Company and its subsidiaries. IAM provides wealth management and trust services for commercial and private banking clients. CDE is utilized to purchase tax credits.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of and accounting for loans covered by loss sharing arrangements with the FDIC and the related loss share receivable, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments, and share-based compensation.

 

 

 

 

OTHER REAL ESTATE

Other real estate includes all real estate, other than bank premises used in bank operations, owned or controlled by the Company, including real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan (which is the pro-rata carrying value of loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30) or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Revenue and expenses from operations, gain or loss on sale and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

For further discussion of the Company's other real estate owned, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company issues stock options and restricted stock under various plans to directors, officers and other key employees. The Company accounts for its stock compensation plans in accordance with ASC Topics 718 and 505. Under those provisions, the Company has adopted a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. As a result, compensation expense relating to stock options and restricted stock is reflected in net income as part of "Salaries and employee benefits" on the consolidated statements of income. The Company's practice has been to grant options at no less than the fair market value of the stock at the grant date.

See Note 18 for additional information on the Company's share-based compensation plans.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and warrants and are determined using the two-class method.

See Note 2 for additional information on the Company's calculation of earnings per share.

TREASURY STOCK

The purchase of the Company's common stock is recorded at cost. At the date of retirement or subsequent reissuance, treasury stock is reduced by the cost of such stock with differences recorded in additional paid-in capital or retained earnings, as applicable.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and cash flow hedges, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

SEGMENTS

In prior years, the Company strategically managed and reported the results of its business through three operating segments: IBERIABANK, IBERIABANK fsb, and LTC. The Company's IBERIABANK and IBERIABANK fsb segments offered commercial and retail banking products and services to customers throughout locations in six states. IBERIABANK provided these products and services in Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida, while IBERIABANK fsb provided similar services in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas. As a Louisiana-chartered commercial bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, IBERIABANK is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Financial Institutions of the State of Louisiana, IBERIABANK's chartering authority, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"), IBERIABANK's primary federal regulator. As a federal savings association, IBERIABANK fsb was subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS").

The IBERIABANK and IBERIABANK fsb segments were considered reportable segments based on quantitative thresholds applied for reportable segments provided by ASC Topic 280, and were disclosed separately. The Company's LTC segment did not meet the thresholds provided, but was reported because management believed information about this segment would be useful to readers of the Company's consolidated financial statements. A fourth reportable column, entitled "Other", included the results of operations and financial condition of the Company's other subsidiaries, as well as the activities of the Company's holding company, which include corporate business activities, including payment of employee salary and benefits and marketing, business development, legal, professional, and other corporate expenses. Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific segment were allocated to segments based on pre-determined means that reflected utilization.

Upon the merger of the Company's two financial institution subsidiaries, IBERIABANK and IBERIABANK fsb, at the close of business on December 31, 2010, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Because the overall banking operations comprise substantially all of the consolidated operations and none of the Company's other subsidiaries, either individually or in the aggregate, meet quantitative materiality thresholds provided by ASC Topic 280, no separate segment disclosures are presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

In November 2009, the SEC issued a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Under the proposed roadmap, the Company may be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS as early as 2014. The SEC will make a determination later in 2012 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on its operating results and financial condition, and will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

ASU No. 2010-20, ASU No. 2011-01, and ASU No. 2011-02

In 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which required the Company to provide new disclosures in its financial statements to improve the transparency of financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures about the Company's allowance for credit losses as well as the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio.

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20, that temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") that are included in ASU No. 2010-20. The TDR disclosure guidance was effective beginning with the Company's current interim period ended September 30, 2011. The enhanced disclosures required are incorporated in Note 5 in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies the evaluation criteria a creditor should use when evaluating whether a credit restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In order to be a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that a) the restructuring constitutes a concession and b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The ASU further clarifies the guidance on a creditor's evaluation of whether it has granted a concession. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU in the current year. Although the adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's identified TDRs in these consolidated financial statements, the clarification in this ASU may result in the Company identifying more loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings in future periods, which may impact the Company's provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses in future periods.

ASU No. 2010-29

In January 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, which provides guidance on the disclosures reported in an entity's financial statements regarding business acquisitions and clarifies the acquisition date that should be used for reporting the pro forma financial information disclosures in Topic 805 when comparative financial statements are presented. The ASU specifies that if an entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination or combinations that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this ASU also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures currently required under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.

The Company has provided the disclosures required by ASU No. 2010-29 in Note 3 of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2011-05

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity. The ASU requires that all nonowner changes in shareholders' equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU also requires the Company to present reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing which of the two options it will present in its future consolidated financial statements.

The amendments in the ASU do not change the items that are reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments also do not change the option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects. In both cases, the tax effect for each component must be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements or presented in the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. The amendments also do not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.

The ASU is effective beginning with the Company's first quarter of 2012, with retrospective application with respect to presentation. The adoption of the ASU in the Company's 2012 fiscal year will affect the format and presentation of its consolidated financial statements but does not represent a departure from currently adopted accounting principles and thus the adoption will not have an effect on the Company's operating results, financial position, or liquidity.

ASU No. 2011-08

In September 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which simplifies how companies test goodwill for impairment by permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The ASU allows the results of the assessment to become a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment testing required by Topic 350. The "more-likely-than-not" threshold is defined in the ASU as a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under the amendments of this ASU, the Company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.

The ASU is effective beginning with the Company's first quarter of 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU in the current year. The adoption of the ASU had an effect on how the Company performs its test for impairment of goodwill, but the adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on the Company's operating results, financial position, or liquidity for the year ended December 31, 2011. For additional information on goodwill impairment testing, see Note 9 to these consolidated financial statements.
