Basis of Presentation (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2016

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures for the Company previously filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

When we refer to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this Report, we mean IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries (consolidated). When we refer to the “Parent,” we mean IBERIABANK Corporation. See the Glossary of Acronyms at the end of this Report for terms used throughout this Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest under either the voting interest or variable interest model. The assessment of whether or not the Company has a controlling interest (i.e., the primary beneficiary) in a variable interest entity ("VIE") is performed on an on-going basis. All equity investments in non-consolidated VIEs are included in "other assets" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with non-consolidated VIEs was approximately $162 million and $160 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company's maximum exposure to loss was equivalent to the carrying value of its investments and any related outstanding loans to the non-consolidated VIEs.

Investments in entities that are not consolidated are accounted for under either the equity, cost, or proportional amortization method of accounting. Investments for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financing decisions of the entity are accounted for under the equity method. Investments for which the Company does not hold such ability are accounted for under the cost method. Investments in qualified affordable housing projects, which meet certain criteria, are accounted for under the proportional amortization method.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, IBERIABANK; Lenders Title Company; IBERIA Capital Partners, LLC; 1887 Leasing, LLC; IBERIA Asset Management, Inc.; 840 Denning, LLC; and IBERIA CDE, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations

The Company offers commercial and retail banking products and services to customers throughout locations in seven states through IBERIABANK. The Company also operates mortgage production offices in 10 states through 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 throughout the energy industry. 1887 Leasing, LLC owns an aircraft used by management of the Company. IAM provides wealth management and trust services for commercial and private banking clients. CDE is engaged in the purchase of tax credits.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on previously reported consolidated net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 credit losses, valuation of and accounting for acquired loans, goodwill and other intangibles, income taxes, and fair value estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within the states of Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee and Georgia. The Company’s lending activity is concentrated in its market areas in those states. The Company has emphasized originations of commercial loans and private banking loans, defined as loans to larger consumer clients. Concentrations in commercial real estate have increased as a result of the Company's recent acquisitions of CRE-focused banks. Repayments on loans are expected to come from cash flows of the borrower and/or guarantor. Losses on secured loans are limited by the value of the collateral upon default of the borrowers and guarantor support. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU No. 2015-02

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendments in the guidance: 1) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, 2) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, 3) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and 4) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for certain investment funds.

The Company adopted the amendment, effective January 1, 2016, through retrospective application on all existing agreements; however, there was no resulting change to amounts reported in prior periods. Refer to Note 1 for current principles of consolidation.

ASU No. 2015-05

In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license (ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement). If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract.

The Company adopted the amendment prospectively on all arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2016, on an individual arrangement basis. The impact of adoption has not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The most significant amendment to existing GAAP is the recognition of lease assets (i.e., right of use assets) and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases that are classified as operating leases by lessees. Lessees may also make a policy election to scope out all short-term leases, defined as leases with lease terms (including options to extend) that are less than 12 months. In general, the lessor model is similar to the current model. Amendments to lessor accounting largely align with certain changes to the lessee model and lease recognition criteria within ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Additional amendments include the elimination of leveraged leases; modification to the definition of a lease; clarification on separating lease components from non-lease components (including a practical expedient not to separate components, by class of assets); amendments on sale and leaseback guidance to include evaluating “sale” criteria in accordance with ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers; and disclosure of additional quantitative and qualitative information.

ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Lessees and lessors are also required to disclose the other comparative amounts for each prior period presented in the financial statements as if the updated guidance had always been applied, including practical expedients (if elected) for lease determination, lease classification, initial direct costs, lease term (i.e., probability of lease extension), and impairment.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including whether to adopt any practical expedients or policy elections from this ASU. The Company is not expecting to early adopt the ASU.

ASU No. 2016-08 and ASU No. 2016-10

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve implementation guidance on principal versus agency considerations within Topic 606. The amendments clarify the following:


•	How an entity could be both principal and agent in a contract with a customer that includes more than one specified good or service;


•	How an entity determines the nature of its promise (to provide each specified good or service);


•	How control over the good or service, prior to transfer to the customer, determines the assessment of principal or agency for each specified good or service in the contract; and


•	How the indicators that an entity is the principal within the implementation guidance of Topic 606 support or assist in the assessment of control as one or more indicators may be more or less persuasive than others.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to improve implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing aspects of Topic 606. Only a few of the amendments may potentially impact the Company. These amendments are as follows:


•	When identifying performance obligations, whether it is necessary to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract; and


•	Determining whether promised goods and services are separately identifiable (that is, distinct within the context of the contract).

The amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 and No. 2016-10 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The amendments will be applied through the election of one of two retrospective methods.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is not expecting to early adopt the ASU.

ASU No. 2016-09

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments will require recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies associated with awards which vest or settle within income tax expense or benefit in the statement of comprehensive income, with the tax effects treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. The ASU further requires entities to recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. In addition, excess tax benefits will be classified as an operating activity rather than as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This will eliminate the current APIC pool concept.

The amendments will allow an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur as opposed to estimating the forfeiture rate. Entities will also be permitted to withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions while still qualifying for equity classification and will subsequently classify all cash paid for withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.

ASU 2016-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, and forfeitures should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement should be applied prospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method.

The Company expects to elect an accounting policy to account for forfeitures as they occur upon adoption. Based on the Company's current stock valuation, it does not anticipate a significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements at adoption.

ASU No. 2016-12

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to improve implementation guidance on certain narrow aspects of Topic 606. The amendments in this ASU:


•	Clarify how an entity assesses the collectability criterion in Step 1 of Topic 606;


•	Permit, as an accounting policy election, entities to exclude from the transaction price amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes;


•	Specify the measurement date of noncash consideration as the date of contract inception;


•	Clarify when a contract is considered completed for purposes of transition of Topic 606; and


•	Clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. However, an entity is still required to disclose the effect of the changes on any prior periods retrospectively adjusted.

The amendments in ASU No. 2016-12 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The amendments will be applied through the election of one of two retrospective methods.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is not expecting to early adopt the ASU.

ASU No. 2016-13

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses (“ECL”), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g., loans and held-to-maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The model is generally referred to as current expected credit losses (“CECL”). The ECL should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may also be grouped together when estimating the ECL.

The ASU also amends the current AFS security impairment model for debt securities. The new model will require an estimate of ECL when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset through the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses (and subsequent recoveries). The length of time the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. Non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through OCI.

In addition, the amendments provide for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since their origination (“PCD” model). The initial estimate of expected credit losses for a PCD would be recognized through an ALL with an offset (i.e., increase) to the cost basis of the related financial asset at acquisition. Subsequently, the accounting will follow the applicable CECL or AFS debt security impairment model with all adjustments of the ALL recognized through earnings.

The ASU permits entities to use practical expedients to measure ECL for collateral dependent financial assets and financial assets for which the borrower must continually adjust the amount of securing collateral (e.g., repurchase agreements).

ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. The amendments arising from the CECL and PCD models will be applied through a modified-retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. Amounts previously recognized in AOCI as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected should continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption should be recorded in earnings when received.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
