Reclassification
Principles of Consolidation
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 $92 million and $91 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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. Effective January 1, 2017, IBERIABANK Mortgage Company, previously a subsidiary of IBERIABANK, merged into IBERIABANK. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
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,

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements adopted during the quarter ended March 31, 2017:
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 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, which eliminates the APIC pool concept. The ASU also requires entities to exclude excess tax benefits and deficiencies from assumed proceeds when applying the treasury stock method to share-based payment awards to determine their dilutive effect on EPS; allows an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur; permits an entity to withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions while still qualifying for equity classification; and changes the classification of certain cash flows associated with stock compensation.
The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2017 as follows: (i) prospective adoption of the recognition of excess tax benefits associated with awards which vested or settled during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 in the statement of comprehensive income; (ii) prospective adoption of the exclusion of excess tax benefits from assumed proceeds for the calculation of diluted EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2017; (iii) modified retrospective adoption of the minimum statutory withholdings requirements; (iv) modified retrospective adoption of the accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur; and (v) prospective adoption of the classifications of certain cash flows associated with stock compensation. The adoption of these amendments did not, either individually or in aggregate, have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2017-01
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which introduces amendments that are intended to clarify the definition of a business to assist companies and other reporting organizations in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments are intended to narrow the current interpretation of a business.
ASU No. 2017-01 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those periods. The amendments will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early application of the amendments is allowed for transactions, including when a subsidiary or group of assets is deconsolidated/derecognized, in which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance.
The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Pronouncements issued but not yet adopted:
ASU No. 2014-09
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which implements a common revenue standard and clarifies the principles used for recognizing revenue. The amendments in the ASU clarify that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application 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 intends to adopt the amendments beginning January 1, 2018 through the modified-retrospective transition method. Based on the Company’s preliminary scoping, walkthroughs, and contract reviews, it does not expect to recognize a significant cumulative adjustment to equity upon implementation of the standard. Further, the Company does not expect a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income or consolidated balance sheets from either a presentation or timing perspective, but is still analyzing some contracts (e.g., card interchange and rewards).  The Company does anticipate additional disclosures will be presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements following adoption. 
ASU No. 2016-01
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Statements - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments will not change the guidance for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities or loans; however, the ASU will impact how the Company measures certain equity investments and discloses and presents certain financial instruments through the application of the “exit price” notion.
ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. An entity will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted, with two exceptions. The amendments related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) will be applied prospectively. The requirement to use the “exit price” notion to measure the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes will also be applied prospectively.
The Company does not expect a significant cumulative-effect adjustment to be recorded at adoption or any significant impact to the consolidated financial statements associated with the accounting for its current equity investments. The Company does anticipate financial statement disclosures to be impacted, specifically related to financial instruments measured at amortized cost whose fair values are disclosed under the “entry price” notion, but is currently still in the process of determining the impact.
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. The lessor model remains similar to the current accounting model in existing GAAP. Additional amendments include, but are not limited to, the elimination of leveraged leases; modification to the definition of a lease; amendments on sale and leaseback transactions; 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. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company anticipates adopting the amendments on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is estimated to result in less than a 1% increase in assets and liabilities. The adjustment to retained earnings is not expected to be significant based on the transition guidance associated with current sale-leaseback agreements. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.
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 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 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). 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. The initial estimate of expected credit losses would be recognized through an ALL with an offset (i.e., increase) to the cost basis of the related financial asset at acquisition.
ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. The amendments 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.
ASU No. 2017-04
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Therefore, any carrying amount which exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (up to the amount of goodwill recorded) will be recognized as an impairment loss.
ASU No. 2017-04 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those periods.  The amendments will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  Based on recent goodwill impairments tests, which did not require the application of Step 2, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have an immediate impact.
ASU No. 2017-08
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which will shorten the amortization period for callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date instead of the maturity date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which will continue to be amortized to the maturity date.

ASU No. 2017-08 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those periods. The amendments should be applied using a modified-retrospective transition method as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of the ASU will not have a significant impact to the Company based on its current investment portfolio.
