Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
  
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, but rather statements based on the current expectations of First Internet Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally preceded by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including: general economic conditions, whether national or regional, and conditions in the lending markets in which we participate that may have an adverse effect on the demand for our loans and other products; our credit quality and related levels of nonperforming assets and loan losses, and the value and salability of the real estate that we own or that is the collateral for our loans; failures or breaches of or interruptions in the communication and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business that could reduce our revenues, increase our costs or lead to disruptions in our business; our plans to grow our commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, public finance and healthcare finance loan portfolios which may carry greater risks of non-payment or other unfavorable consequences; our dependence on capital distributions from First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”); results of examinations of us by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or to write-down assets; changing bank regulatory conditions, policies or programs, whether arising as new legislation or regulatory initiatives, that could lead to restrictions on activities of banks generally, or the Bank in particular; more restrictive regulatory capital requirements; increased costs, including deposit insurance premiums; regulation or prohibition of certain income producing activities or changes in the secondary market for loans and other products; changes in market rates and prices that may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet; our liquidity requirements being adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities; the effect of legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry; competitive factors among financial services organizations, including product and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified banking professionals; execution of future acquisition, reorganization or disposition transactions including without limitation, the related time and costs of implementing such transactions, integrating operations as part of these transactions and possible failures to achieve expected gains, revenue growth and/or expense savings and other anticipated benefits from such transactions; changes in applicable tax laws; the growth and profitability of noninterest or fee income being less than expected; the loss of any key members of senior management; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and other regulatory agencies; and the effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal government. Additional factors that may affect our results include those discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other reports filed with the SEC. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The factors listed above could affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.
Except as required by law, we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

First Internet Bancorp
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited
(Table amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
  
Note 1:        Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in accordance with GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other period. The March 31, 2018 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the First Internet Bancorp Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, or assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided. The determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuations and impairments of investment securities, and the accounting for income tax expense are highly dependent upon management’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions where changes in any of these could have a significant impact on the financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s two wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Internet Public Finance Corp. and JKH Realty Services, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 financial statements to conform to the presentation of the 2018 financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

There were no gross gains or losses resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
 
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. The total fair value of these investments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $400.6 million and $354.6 million, which was approximately 83% and 72%, respectively, of the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities portfolios. These declines resulted primarily from fluctuations in market interest rates after purchase. Management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced with the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is identified.

U. S. Government-Sponsored Agencies, Municipal Securities and Corporate Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, municipal organizations and corporate entities were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2018.
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities
 
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost bases over the term of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2018.

Note 4:        Loans
 
Loans that management intends to hold until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
 
For loans recorded at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial and Industrial: Commercial and industrial loans’ sources of repayment are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Loans are made for working capital, equipment purchases, or other purposes. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate a personal guarantee. This portfolio segment is generally concentrated in Central Indiana and adjacent markets and the greater Phoenix, Arizona market.

Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate: The primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower, or an affiliate of the borrower, who owns the property. This portfolio segment is generally concentrated in the Central Indiana and adjacent markets and the greater Phoenix, Arizona market and its loans are often secured by manufacturing and service facilities, as well as office buildings.


11



Investor Commercial Real Estate: These loans are underwritten primarily based on the cash flow expected to be generated from the property and are secondarily supported by the value of the real estate. These loans typically incorporate a personal guarantee. This portfolio segment generally involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Investor commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets, changing industry dynamics, or the overall health of the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s investor commercial real estate portfolio tend to be diverse in terms of property type and are typically located in the state of Indiana and markets adjacent to Indiana. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on property financial performance, collateral value, guarantor strength, and other risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects or properties outside of its designated market areas unless other underwriting factors are present to mitigate these additional risks.

Construction: Construction loans are secured by real estate and improvements and are made to assist in the construction of new structures, which may include commercial (retail, industrial, office, multi-family) properties or single family residential properties offered for sale by the builder. These loans generally finance a variety of project costs, including land, site preparation, construction, closing and soft costs and interim financing needs. The cash flows of builders, while initially predictable, may fluctuate with market conditions, and the value of the collateral securing these loans may be subject to fluctuations based on general economic changes. This portfolio segment is generally concentrated in Central Indiana.
Single Tenant Lease Financing: These loans are made to property owners of real estate subject to long term lease arrangements with single tenant operators. The real estate is typically operated by regionally, nationally or globally branded businesses.  The loans are underwritten based on the financial strength of the borrower, characteristics of the real estate, cash flows generated from the lease arrangements and the financial strength of the tenant.  Similar to the other loan portfolio segments, management monitors and evaluates these loans based on borrower and tenant financial performance, collateral value, industry trends and other risk grade criteria.

Public Finance: These loans are made to governmental and not-for-profit entities to provide both tax-exempt and taxable loans for a variety of purposes including: short term cash-flow needs; debt refinancing; economic development; quality of life projects; infrastructure improvements; and equipment financing. The primary sources of repayment for public finance loans include pledged revenue sources including but not limited to: general obligations; property taxes; income taxes; tax increment revenue; utility revenue; gaming revenues; sales tax; and pledged general revenue. Certain loans may also include an additional collateral pledge of mortgaged property or a security interest in financed equipment. Public finance loans have been completed in seven states, primarily in the Midwest, with plans to continue expanding nationwide.

Healthcare Finance: These loans are made to healthcare providers, primarily dentists, for refinancing or acquiring practices, refinancing or acquiring owner-occupied commercial real estate, and equipment purchases. These loans’ sources of repayment are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower (including ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower, or an affiliate of the borrower, who owns the property) and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. This portfolio segment is generally concentrated in the Western United States with plans to expand nationwide.

Residential Mortgage: With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the financial circumstances of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.
Home Equity: Home equity loans and lines of credit are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences. The properties securing the Company's home equity portfolio segment are generally geographically diverse as the Company offers these products on a nationwide basis. Repayment of these loans and lines of credit is primarily dependent on the financial circumstances of the borrowers and may be impacted by changes in unemployment levels and property values on residential properties, among other economic conditions in the market.

12



Other Consumer: These loans primarily consist of consumer loans and credit cards. Consumer loans may be secured by consumer assets such as horse trailers or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans, home improvement loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of consumer loans is primarily dependent upon the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.
Allowance for Loan Losses Methodology
 
Company policy is designed to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”). The portfolio is segmented by loan type, and the required ALLL for types of performing homogeneous loans which do not have a specific reserve is determined by applying a factor based on average historical losses, adjusted for current economic factors and portfolio trends. Management believes the historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed. Management adds qualitative factors for observable trends, changes in internal practices, changes in delinquencies and impairments, and external factors. Observable factors include changes in the composition and size of portfolios, as well as loan terms or concentration levels. The Company evaluates the impact of internal changes such as management and staff experience levels or modification to loan underwriting processes. Delinquency trends are scrutinized for both volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual, or classified loans as well as any changes in the value of underlying collateral. Finally, the Company considers the effect of other external factors such as national, regional, and local economic and business conditions, as well as competitive, legal, and regulatory requirements. Loans that are considered to be impaired are evaluated to determine the need for a specific allowance by applying at least one of three methodologies: present value of future cash flows; fair value of collateral less costs to sell; or the loan’s observable market price. All troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are considered impaired loans. Loans evaluated for impairment are removed from other pools to prevent double-counting. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to income based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full repayment may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, as applicable, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management attempts to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
 
Policy for Charging Off Loans
 
The Company’s policy is to charge off a loan at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, meaning collectible within the parameters of policy. A secured loan is generally charged down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest. An unsecured loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest. A home improvement loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 90 days past due as to principal or interest.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:
 
“Pass” - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

“Special Mention” - Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which deserve close attention.

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

“Doubtful” - Such loans have been placed on nonaccrual status and may be heavily dependent upon collateral possessing a value that is difficult to determine or based upon some near-term event that lacks clear certainty.

15



These loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard; however, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of the principal balance highly improbable.

“Loss” - Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not warranted.

Nonaccrual Loans
 
Any loan which becomes 90 days delinquent or for which the full collection of principal and interest may be in doubt will be considered for nonaccrual status. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest will be reversed from interest income. Placing the loan on nonaccrual status does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to repay interest. A loan placed on nonaccrual status may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest has been brought current, and the Company expects full payment of the remaining contractual principal and interest.

Impaired Loans
 
A loan is designated as impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance, when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.
 
Impaired loans include nonperforming loans as well as loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.
 

18



ASC Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.

The Company had $0.6 million in residential mortgage other real estate owned as of March 31, 2018 and had $0.6 million in residential mortgage other real estate owned as of December 31, 2017. There were $0.3 million and $0.2 million of loans at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, in the process of foreclosure.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
 
The loan portfolio includes TDRs, which are loans that have been modified to grant economic concessions to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation efforts and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally not less than six consecutive months.
 
When loans are modified in a TDR, any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans is evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If it is determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded balance of the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance or charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, are evaluated for possible impairment, and impairment is recognized through the allowance.
 

19



In the course of working with troubled borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans in an effort to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize the collectability of the loan. Any loan modification is reviewed by the Company to identify whether a TDR has occurred when the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider based on economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status or the loan may be restructured to secure additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the debt, or a combination of the two.

There were no loans classified as new TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Note 6:        Goodwill        
 
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of goodwill was $4.7 million. There have been no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of August 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. No events or changes in circumstances have occurred since the August 31, 2017 annual impairment test that would suggest it was more likely than not goodwill impairment existed.
 
Note 7:        Subordinated Debt
 
In June 2013, the Company issued a subordinated debenture (the “2021 Debenture”) in the principal amount of $3.0 million. The 2021 Debenture bears a fixed interest rate of 8.00% per year, payable quarterly, and is scheduled to mature on June 28, 2021. The 2021 Debenture may be repaid, without penalty, at any time after June 28, 2016. The 2021 Debenture is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.
 
In connection with the 2021 Debenture, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase up to 48,750 shares of common stock at an initial per share exercise price equal to $19.33. The warrant became exercisable on June 28, 2014. On May 4, 2017, the Company issued a net amount of 15,915 shares of common stock pursuant to an exercise by the holder of a warrant to purchase 48,750 shares of common stock at a price of $19.33 per share. The holder satisfied the exercise price by instructing the Company to withhold 32,835 of the shares of common stock in accordance with the warrant’s cashless exercise feature.

In October 2015, the Company entered into a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, evidenced by a term note due 2025 (the “2025 Note”). The 2025 Note bears a fixed interest rate of 6.4375% per year, payable quarterly, and is scheduled to mature on October 1, 2025. The 2025 Note is an unsecured subordinated obligation of the Company and may be repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after October 15, 2020. The 2025 Note is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.

In September 2016, the Company issued $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a public offering. The 2026 Notes initially bear a fixed interest rate of 6.00% per year to, but excluding September 30, 2021, and thereafter a floating rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR rate plus 485 basis points. All interest on the 2026 Notes is payable quarterly. The 2026 Notes are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026. The 2026 Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and may be repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after September 30, 2021. The 2026 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.

Note 8:        Benefit Plans
 
Employment Agreement
 
The Company has entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer that provides for the continuation of salary and certain benefits for a specified period of time under certain conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, these payments could occur in the event of a termination of employment by us without “cause”, by him for “good reason” or in connection with a “change in control,” each as defined in the agreement, along with other specific conditions.
 
2013 Equity Incentive Plan
 
The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of equity-based awards to employees, directors, and other eligible persons.  Under the terms of the 2013 Plan, the pool of shares available for issuance may be used for available types of equity awards under the 2013 Plan, which includes stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, and other share-based awards.  All employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company or any subsidiary, as well as all non-employee directors of the Company, are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.

The Company recorded $0.6 million and $0.3 million of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and March 31, 2017, respectively, related to awards made under the 2013 Plan.

Directors Deferred Stock Plan
 
Until January 1, 2014, the Company had a practice granting awards under a stock compensation plan for members of the Board of Directors (“Directors Deferred Stock Plan”). The Company reserved 180,000 shares of common stock that could have been issued pursuant to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan. The plan provided directors the option to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in either common stock or deferred stock rights. Deferred stock rights were to be settled in common stock following the end of the deferral period payable on the basis of one share of common stock for each deferred stock right.
 
The following table summarizes the status of deferred stock rights related to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Note 9:        Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Securities
 
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.
 
Level 2 securities include U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, municipal securities, mortgage and asset-backed securities and certain corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but also on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities.
 

22



In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation. The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Loans Held-for-Sale (mandatory pricing agreements)

The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).
 
Forward Contracts

The fair values of forward contracts on to-be-announced securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets, or benchmarked thereto (Level 1).
 
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
 
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are determined using the projected sale price of individual loans based on changes in market interest rates, projected pull-through rates (the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in an originated loan), the reduction in the value of the applicant’s option due to the passage of time, and the remaining origination costs to be incurred based on management’s estimate of market costs (Level 3).


23



The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For these instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Interest-Bearing Time Deposits
 
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
 
Securities Held-to-Maturity
 
Fair values are determined by using models that are based on security-specific details, as well as relevant industry and economic factors. The most significant of these inputs are quoted market prices, and interest rate spreads on relevant benchmark securities.
 
Loans Held-for-Sale (best efforts pricing agreements)
 
The fair value of these loans approximates carrying value.

Loans
 
The fair value of loans as of March 31, 2018 was impacted by the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-01. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, the fair value of loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used to determine fair value use interest rate spreads that reflect factors such as liquidity, credit, and nonperformance risk of the loans. The fair value of loans as of December 31, 2017 was estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities.
 
Accrued Interest Receivable
 
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Stock
 
The fair value approximates carrying value.
 
Deposits 
The fair value of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market accounts approximates carrying value. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit and brokered deposits are estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
 
The fair value of fixed rate advances is estimated using rates currently available for advances with similar remaining maturities. The carrying value of variable rate advances approximates fair value.
 
Subordinated Debt
 
The fair value of the Company’s publicly traded subordinated debt is obtained from quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company’s remaining subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current borrowing rates for similar types of debt instruments.

 Accrued Interest Payable
 
The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.

Commitments
 
The fair value of commitments to extend credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar maturities and interest rates. The Company determined that the fair value of commitments was zero based on the contractual value of outstanding commitments at each of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 10:        Mortgage Banking Activities

The Company’s residential real estate lending business originates mortgage loans for customers and typically sells a majority of the originated loans into the secondary market. For most of the mortgages it sells in the secondary market, the Company hedges its mortgage banking pipeline by entering into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and entering into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. To facilitate the hedging of the loans, the Company has elected the fair value option for loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements. Changes in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, IRLCs and forward contracts are recorded in the mortgage banking activities line item within noninterest income.  Refer to Note 11 for further information on derivative financial instruments. 

27




During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company originated mortgage loans held-for-sale of $82.5 million and $86.2 million, respectively, and sold $90.8 million and $102.3 million of mortgage loans, respectively, into the secondary market. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold $25.2 million of portfolio mortgage loans to an investor, resulting in a gain of $0.4 million.

The following table presents the components of income from mortgage banking activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Fluctuations in interest rates and changes in IRLC and loan volume within the mortgage banking pipeline may cause volatility in the fair value of loans held-for-sale and the fair value of derivatives used to hedge the mortgage banking pipeline.

Note 11:        Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. Additionally, the Company enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.
 
The Company entered into various interest rate swap agreements designated and qualifying as accounting hedges during the reported periods. Designating an interest rate swap as an accounting hedge allows the Company to recognize gains and losses, less any ineffectiveness, in the income statement within the same period that the hedged item affects earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swaps. The fair value of interest rate swaps with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets while interest rate swaps with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The IRLCs and forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges, and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents amounts that were recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to cumulative basis adjustments for interest rate swap derivatives designated as fair value accounting hedges as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

These derivative financial instruments were entered into for the purpose of managing the interest rate risk of certain assets. At March 31, 2018, the Company received $1.6 million of cash collateral from counterparties as securities for their obligations related to these swap transactions. At December 31, 2017, the Company pledged $0.7 million of cash collateral to counterparties as security for its obligations related to these interest rate swap transactions. Collateral posted and received is dependent on the market valuation of the underlying hedges.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized interest expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, related to interest rate swap derivatives. This interest expense was recorded as a reduction to interest income within the securities - taxable line item of the condensed consolidated income statements, which is the same line item that is used to present earnings of the hedged item.

The following table presents the notional amount and fair value of interest rate swaps, IRLCs and forward contracts utilized by the Company at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 12:     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (May 2014)

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this update, as subsequently amended, which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, such as OREO. The majority of the Company’s revenues comes from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives, that are outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within noninterest income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Our services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, interchange income and the sale of OREO. Our revenue within the scope of ASC 606 is minimal and the adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (January 2016)

The purpose of this update is to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured and amortized at cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting option for financial instruments. This update is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, which includes technical corrections and improvements to clarify the guidance in ASU 2016-01. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on fair value disclosures and other disclosure requirements.

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (February 2016)

In February 2016, the FASB amended its standards with respect to the accounting for leases. The amended standard serves to replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and requires that an operating lease be recognized by the lessee on the balance sheet as a “right-of-use” asset along with a corresponding liability representing the rent obligation. Key aspects of current lessor accounting remain unchanged from existing guidance. This standard is expected to result in an increase to assets and liabilities recognized and, therefore, increase risk-weighted assets for regulatory capital purposes. The amended standard requires the use of the modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases that have not expired before the date of initial application and will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier adoption of the amended standard is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt and is currently in the process of fully evaluating the amendments on the condensed consolidated financial statements and will subsequently implement updated processes and accounting policies as deemed necessary. The overall impact of the new standard on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and regulatory capital is not yet determinable.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (June 2016)

The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

The amendments affect entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update affect an entity to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, their duration, and how the entity applies current GAAP. There is diversity in practice in applying the incurred loss methodology, which means that before transition some entities may be more aligned under current GAAP than others to the new measure of expected credit losses. The following describes the main provisions of this update.


31



Assets Measured at Amortized Cost: The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities: Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Available-for-sale accounting recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through sale of the security. Therefore, the amendments limit the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available-for-sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value.

For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of this update.

The Company does not expect to early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company cannot determine or reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments due to the complexity and extensive changes. The Company intends to develop processes and procedures during the next two years to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at adoption date. The Company has formed an implementation committee and has begun evaluating the data needed for implementation as well as considering appropriate methodologies.

ASU 2018-02 - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 820): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (February 2018)

The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.

The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for reporting periods for which the financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. The Company elected to early adopt this update as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of the guidance resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased retained earnings and increased AOCI in the three months ended 2018.

ASU 2018-05 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (March 2018)

The amendments in this update provide additional clarification on accounting for the Tax Act’s effects. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, entities that elect to record provisional amounts must base them on reasonable estimates and may adjust those amounts for a period of up to one year after the December 22, 2017 enactment date. Entities also need to consider the effect of the Tax Act when they estimate their annual effective tax rate in the first quarter and project the deferred tax effects of expected year-end temporary differences. In addition to applying the new corporate tax rate, an entity will need to consider whether it has elected to reflect global intangible low-taxed income as a period cost or as part of deferred taxes. As the Company has substantially completed the accounting for the net deferred tax asset revaluation, this update is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview
 
First Internet Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company that conducts its business activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank (the “Bank”). The Bank was the first state-chartered, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Internet bank and commenced banking operations in 1999. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana on September 15, 2005. On March 21, 2006, we consummated a plan of exchange by which we acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Bank.

The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Internet Public Finance Corp., which was organized in early 2017 and provides a range of public and municipal finance lending and leasing products to governmental entities throughout the United States and acquires securities issued by state and local governments and other municipalities, and JKH Realty Services, LLC, which manages other real estate owned properties as needed.

We offer a wide range of commercial, small business, consumer and municipal banking products and services. We conduct our consumer and small business deposit operations primarily through online channels on a nationwide basis and have no traditional branch offices. Our residential mortgage products are offered nationwide primarily through an online direct-to-consumer platform and are supplemented with Central Indiana-based mortgage and construction lending. Our consumer lending products are primarily originated on a nationwide basis over the Internet as well as through relationships with dealerships and financing partners.

Our commercial banking products and services are delivered through a relationship banking model and include commercial real estate (“CRE”) banking, commercial and industrial (“C&I”) banking, public finance and healthcare finance. Through our CRE team, we offer single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis in addition to traditional investor commercial real estate and construction loans primarily within Central Indiana and adjacent markets. To meet the needs of commercial borrowers and depositors located primarily in Central Indiana, Phoenix, Arizona and adjacent markets, our C&I banking team provides credit solutions such as lines of credit, term loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and corporate credit cards as well as treasury management services. Our public finance team, established in early 2017, provides a range of public and municipal lending and leasing products to government entities on a nationwide basis. Healthcare finance was established in the second quarter of 2017 in conjunction with our strategic partnership with Lendeavor, Inc., a San Francisco-based technology-enabled lender to healthcare practices, and provides lending for healthcare practice finance or acquisition, acquiring or refinancing owner-occupied commercial real estate and equipment purchases. Initial efforts within healthcare finance have primarily focused on the West Coast with plans to expand nationwide.

1 This information represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.
2 On a fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis assuming a 21% tax rate in 2018 and a 35% tax rate in 2017. Net interest income is adjusted to reflect income from assets such as municipal loans and securities that are exempt from Federal income taxes.   This is to recognize the income tax savings that facilitates a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets.  The Company believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons.

During the first quarter 2018, net income was $6.0 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2017 net income of $2.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, representing an increase in net income of $3.2 million, or 112.9%. The comparability of diluted earnings per share between the first quarter 2018 and the first quarter 2017 is impacted by the effect on average diluted shares outstanding resulting from the Company’s issuance of 1,897,500 shares of common stock issued through an underwritten public offering in September 2017.

The increase in net income in the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017 was due primarily to a $4.0 million, or 34.5%, increase in net interest income, a $0.4 million, or 19.3%, increase in noninterest income, a $0.2 million, or 17.9%, decrease in provision for loan losses and a $0.2 million, or 15.7%, decrease in income tax provision, partially offset by a $1.5 million, or 17.5%, increase in noninterest expense.


35



During the first quarter 2018, return on average assets (“ROAA”) and return on average shareholders’ equity (“ROAE”) were 0.87% and 10.96%, respectively, compared to 0.60% and 7.42%, respectively, for the first quarter 2017.

Consolidated Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analyses
 
For the periods presented, the following tables provide the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the related yields and cost of funds. The tables do not reflect any effect of income taxes except for net interest margin - FTE as discussed below. Balances are based on the average of daily balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in average loan balances.

Net interest income for the first quarter 2018 was $15.4 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 34.5%, compared to $11.5 million for the first quarter 2017. The increase in net interest income was the result of an $8.6 million, or 49.4%, increase in total interest income to $26.0 million for the first quarter 2018 from $17.4 million for the first quarter 2017. The increase in total interest income was partially offset by a $4.6 million, or 78.1%, increase in total interest expense to $10.6 million for the first quarter 2018 from $5.9 million for the first quarter 2017.

The increase in total interest income from the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017 was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans resulting from an increase of $834.1 million, or 62.3%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale, partially offset by a decline of 16 basis points (“bps”) in the yield on loans, including loans held-for-sale. The decline in the yield earned on loans was due primarily to growth in the public finance loan portfolio which generally has lower tax-exempt interest rates. In addition, the average balance of securities increased $10.3 million, or 2.2%, and the yield earned on the securities portfolio increased 5 bps for the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017.

The increase in total interest expense was driven primarily by an increase of $654.4 million, or 45.1%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017, as well as a 28 bp increase in the cost of funds related to interest-bearing deposits. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was due primarily to a $409.4 million, or 41.5%, increase in average certificates and brokered deposits balances and a 19 bp increase in the related costs of those deposits. Additionally, the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was impacted by a $214.6 million, or 61.7%, increase in average money market account balances and a 56 bp increase in the related cost of these deposits. The increase in the costs of funds related to money market accounts and certificates and brokered deposits was due to increases in interest rates as the Federal Reserve increased its benchmark fed funds target rate 100 bps from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.

Interest expense related to other borrowed funds also contributed to the increase in total interest expense due to a $179.4 million, or 68.3%, increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds for the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017. The increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds was due primarily to the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances increasing $179.2 million, or 79.3%, as the Company used Federal Home Loan Bank advances to supplement deposit growth and to manage interest rate risk.


37



Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.26% for the first quarter 2018 compared to 2.50% for the first quarter 2017. The decrease in NIM for the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017 was driven primarily by an increase of 28 bps in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase of 2 bps in the yield earned on interest-earning assets. On a fully-taxable equivalent basis, NIM was 2.41% for the first quarter 2018 compared to 2.57% for the first quarter 2017. The decline of 16 bps in the fully-taxable equivalent NIM was also impacted by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, which accounted for 5 bps of the decrease.

During the first quarter 2018, noninterest income was $2.5 million, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 19.3%, compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter 2017. The increase was due primarily to the completion of two sales of single tenant lease financing loans during the first quarter 2018. The principal amount of loans sold totaled $25.2 million and resulted in a gain of $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2018, there were no additional sales in process but the Company may execute sales in future periods should market conditions remain favorable for such transactions.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter 2018 was $10.2 million, compared to $8.7 million for the first quarter 2017. The increase of $1.5 million, or 17.5%, compared to the first quarter 2017 was due primarily to increases of $0.8 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.3 million in premises and equipment, $0.2 million in marketing, advertising and promotion and $0.2 million in deposit insurance premium expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily resulted from an increase in employee compensation and higher equity compensation expense, including $0.2 million of non-recurring accelerated vesting recognition. The increase in premises and equipment was due primarily to higher software expense. The increase in marketing expenses was due to advertising campaigns to increase brand awareness. The increase in deposit insurance premium was due primarily to the Company’s strong year-over-year asset growth of 39.5%, as the FDIC uses annual asset growth as a component of their calculation to determine the cost of FDIC deposit insurance.


38



Income tax provision was $0.9 million for the first quarter 2018, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.5%, compared to $1.0 million and an effective tax rate of 26.5% for the first quarter 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the first quarter 2018 was due primarily to the Tax Act which, among other things, reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018. Additionally, the lower effective tax rate in the first quarter 2018 was due to an increase in the average balance of tax-exempt earning assets resulting from growth in the public finance loan portfolio.

Total loans were $2.2 billion as of March 31, 2018, an increase of $118.2 million, or 5.7%, compared to December 31, 2017. The growth in commercial loan balances was positively impacted by production in public finance as balances increased $43.6 million, or 9.9%, compared to December 31, 2017. Production in single tenant lease financing remained strong as balances increased $31.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to December 31, 2017. Additionally, healthcare finance balances increased $17.3 million, or 54.9%, during the first quarter 2018. The growth in consumer loans was primarily driven by the Company’s residential mortgage portfolio, which increased $18.4 million, or 6.1%, compared to December 31, 2017. Other consumer loan balances increased $8.7 million, or 3.8%, compared to December 31, 2017, driven primarily by increased production in trailer and recreational vehicle loans.

The Company completed two sales of single tenant lease financing loans during the first quarter 2018. The sales, totaling $25.2 million in the aggregate, resulted in a $0.4 million gain. Loan sales provide the Company an additional strategy to manage balance sheet growth and capital while providing additional liquidity and further diversifying revenue channels.

The decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.1%, in total nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was due primarily to a decrease in residential mortgage nonaccrual loans related to one nonaccrual loan that was transferred to OREO and subsequently sold during the first quarter 2018. Total nonperforming loans declined $0.2 million, or 21.5%, to $0.7 million as of March 31, 2018 compared to $0.8 million as of December 31, 2017. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans decreased slightly to 0.03% as of March 31, 2018 compared to 0.04% as of December 31, 2017. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased slightly to 0.20% as of March 31, 2018 compared to 0.21% as of December 31, 2017 due primarily to the increase in total assets and decrease in nonperforming assets.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had one commercial property in other real estate owned with a carrying value of $4.5 million. This property consists of two buildings which are residential units adjacent to a university campus. Improvements to the property have been made in collaboration with the university and the property continues to be occupied. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had residential mortgage other real estate owned of $0.6 million.

The allowance for loan losses was $15.6 million as of March 31, 2018, compared to $15.0 million as of December 31, 2017. The increase of $0.6 million, or 3.9%, was due primarily to the growth in single tenant lease financing, public finance, healthcare finance and residential mortgage loan balances. During the first quarter 2018, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $0.3 million, compared to net charge-offs of $0.1 million during the first quarter 2017. The net charge-offs for both the first quarter 2018 and 2017 were primarily driven by charge-offs in other consumer loans.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.70% as of March 31, 2018, compared to 0.72% as of December 31, 2017. The decline in the allowance as a percentage of total loans was due to the growth in the public finance portfolio as this loan category has a lower loss reserve factor than other loan types. Due to the decrease in nonaccrual loans, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 2,361.2% as of March 31, 2018, compared to 1,784.3% as of December 31, 2017.

The approximate fair value of investment securities available-for-sale decreased $9.6 million, or 2.0%, to $463.7 million as of March 31, 2018 compared to $473.3 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease was due primarily to decreases of $5.9 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, $3.2 million in municipal securities and $2.9 million in other securities, offset by an increase of $1.9 million in corporate securities. The decrease in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies was due primarily to principal amortization and prepayments. The decrease in the approximate fair value of municipal securities was primarily caused by interest rate changes. The decline in other securities was due to the reclassification of a mutual fund with a readily determinable fair value to other assets in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-01. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had securities with an amortized cost basis of $19.2 million designated as held-to-maturity compared to $19.2 million as of December 31, 2017.

Total deposits increased $92.2 million, or 4.4%, to $2.2 billion as of March 31, 2018 compared to approximately $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2017. This increase was due primarily to increases of $92.6 million, or 18.5%, in money market accounts, $10.2 million, or 20.5%, in savings accounts and $116.3 million, or 151.7%, in brokered deposits, offset by a decrease of $134.3 million, or 10.2%, in certificates of deposits. The increase in brokered deposits and decrease in certificates of deposits was due primarily to $116.3 million of public fund deposits originated through an investment advisor who manages fixed income portfolios for municipalities being reclassified from certificates of deposits to brokered deposits per regulatory guidance.

Recent Equity Stock Offering

In September 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 1,897,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $29.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $51.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions. Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (“Leverage Ratio”).

When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain: 1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% upon full implementation); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will be phased in over a four-year period increasing by increments of that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.

The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules and the minimum required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

Shareholders’ Dividends

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock payable April 16, 2018 to shareholders of record as of March 30, 2018. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of any future cash dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including its results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions (including with respect to the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt), business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $38.0 million principal amount of subordinated debt outstanding pursuant to the 2021 Debenture, the 2025 Note, and the 2026 Notes. The agreements under which subordinated debt was issued prohibit the Company from paying any dividends on its common stock or making any other distributions to shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the applicable agreement. If an event of default were to occur and the Company did not cure it, the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends or making any other distributions to shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any common stock.

Capital Resources

While the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months, including any cash dividends it may pay, the Company intends to continue pursuing its growth strategy, which may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure such capital at favorable terms, its ability to execute its growth strategy could be adversely affected.

Liquidity

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company supplements deposit growth and enhances interest rate risk management through borrowings and wholesale funding, which are generally advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and brokered deposits.

The Company maintains cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations and meet its financial commitments. At March 31, 2018, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $527.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale and $17.1 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for its cash needs. The Company can also generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. At March 31, 2018, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $534.2 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Reserve and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common shareholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At March 31, 2018, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $24.0 million in cash generally available for its cash needs, which is in excess of its current annual regular shareholder dividend and operating expenses.
 
The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures. At March 31, 2018, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, amounted to $175.0 million. Certificates of deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2018 totaled $671.4 million. Generally, the Company believes that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

Management is not aware of any other events or regulatory requirements that, if implemented, are likely to have a material effect on either the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, average tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets, net interest income - FTE and net interest margin - FTE are used by the Company’s management to measure the strength of its capital and analyze profitability, including its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. The Company also believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis as those measures provide useful information for peer comparisons. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following table for the last five completed fiscal quarters.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions to extend credit, interest rate swaps and forms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. Interest rate swaps are arranged to receive hedge accounting treatment and are classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Fair value hedges are purchased to convert certain fixed rate assets to floating rate. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $360.6 million and $141.1 million, respectively. Additionally, we enter into forward contracts relating to our mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and from our mortgage loans held-for-sale. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $63.1 million and $51.1 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year. Refer to Note 11 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about derivative financial instruments.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The primary source of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and the value of the Company’s equity resulting from changes in market interest rates and arises in the normal course of business to the extent that there are timing and volume differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, re-priced or mature in specified periods. The Company seeks to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and equity while managing volatility arising from shifts in market interest rates.
The Company monitors its interest rate risk position using income simulation models and economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis that capture both short-term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Income simulation involves forecasting net interest income (“NII”) under a variety of interest rate scenarios. The Company uses EVE sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest-rate scenarios. Modeling the sensitivity of NII and EVE to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on the assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. The Company continually reviews and refines the assumptions used in its interest rate risk modeling.

Presented below is the estimated impact on the Company’s NII and EVE position as of March 31, 2018, assuming parallel shifts in interest rates:
 
% Change from Base Case for Parallel Changes in Rates

1 Because certain current interest rates are at or below 1.00%, the 100 basis point downward shock assumes that certain corresponding interest rates approach an implied floor that, in effect, reflects a decrease of less than the full 100 basis point downward shock.
The Company’s objective is to manage the balance sheet with a bias toward asset sensitivity while simultaneously balancing the potential earnings impact of this strategy. A “risk-neutral” position refers to the absence of a strong bias toward either asset or liability sensitivity. An “asset sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate higher net interest income when interest rates, primarily short-term rates, increase as rates earned on interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice.  A “liability sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate lower net interest income when short-term interest rates increase as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates earned on interest-earning assets.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 

49



The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company has recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures.
 
The Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, to assess the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2018.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
