NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the "Company"), which has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Lake City Bank (the "Bank") and LCB Risk Management, a captive insurance company. Also included in this report are results for the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LCB Investments II, Inc. ("LCB Investments"), which manages the Bank’s investment portfolio. LCB Investments owns LCB Funding, Inc. ("LCB Funding"), a real estate investment trust. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent reporting periods, including the year ending December 31, 2021. The Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update, commonly referred to as the current expected credit losses methodology (“CECL”), will change the accounting for credit losses on loans and debt securities. Under the new guidance, the Company’s measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. For loans, this measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model previously required, but still permitted, under GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. In addition, the guidance will modify the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which will allow for reversal of credit impairments in future periods. This guidance was effective, subject to optional delay discussed below, for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods in those fiscal years.

As previously disclosed, the Company implemented the CECL methodology and ran it concurrently with the historical incurred method. Under a provision provided by the CARES Act, the Company elected to delay the adoption of FASB’s new rule covering the CECL standard. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. This law extended relief for troubled debt restructurings and provided for further delay of the current expected credit losses adoption under the CARES Act to January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to remain on the incurred loan loss methodology for 2020.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of 2021, effective January 1, 2021. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a $9.1 million increase in the allowance for credit losses. This resulted in a one-time cumulative effect adjustment decreasing beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2021 by $7.0 million, net of deferred taxes of $2.1 million. The Company did not recognize an allowance for credit impairment for available-for-sale securities.

The Company’s loan segmentation, as disclosed in “Note 3 – Loans”, did not change as a result of adopting this ASU.

In December 2018, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC approved a final rule to address changes to credit loss accounting under GAAP, including banking organizations’ implementation of CECL. The final rule provides banking organizations the option to phase in over a three-year period the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the new accounting standard. In March 2020, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC published an interim final rule to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital stemming from the implementation of CECL. The interim final rule maintains the three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides banks the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). The Company is not adopting the capital transition relief over the permissible three-year or five-year periods.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 “Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The ASU updated the annual disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans by adding, clarifying and removing certain disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities, and are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company adopted this new accounting standard on January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” These amendments remove specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP. It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; exceptions to accounting for basis differences where there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. It also improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for: franchise taxes that are partially based on income; transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill; separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and enacts changes in tax laws in interim periods. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this new accounting standard on January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-1 “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” These amendments, among other things, clarify that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments also clarify that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options a company should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. An entity should apply ASU 2020-1 prospectively at the beginning of the interim period that includes the adoption date. The Company adopted ASU 2020-1 on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-8, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, to clarify that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is not permitted. The Company adopted this new accounting standard on January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (“ASC 848”): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASC 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The Company has formed a cross-functional project team to lead the transition from LIBOR to a planned adoption of reference rates which could include Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), amongst other indexes. The Company has identified loans that renewed prior to 2021 and obtained updated reference rate language at the time of renewal. Additionally, management is utilizing the timeline guidance published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee to develop internal milestones during this transitional period. The Company has adhered to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol that was released on October 23, 2020. The Company will discontinue the use of new LIBOR-based loans no later than December 31, 2021, according to regulatory guidelines. The guidance under ASC-848 will be available for a limited time, generally through December 31, 2022. The Company expects to adopt the LIBOR transition relief allowed under this standard.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts appearing in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

Available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For available-for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through the consolidated income statement. For available-for sale debt securities that do not meet the criteria, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, management compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected

Table of Contents

from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. No allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities was needed at June 30, 2021. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $5.0 million at June 30, 2021 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The U.S. government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, there was no OTTI recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

NOTE 4. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2021 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for expected credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the principal is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance are made for specific loans and for pools of similar types of loans, although the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged against the allowance. A provision for credit losses is taken based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the appropriate allowance balance. A formal evaluation of the adequacy of the credit loss allowance is conducted monthly. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company’s control.

The level of credit loss provision is influenced by growth in the overall loan portfolio, emerging market risk, emerging concentration risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss analysis. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the facts and circumstances of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower, in determining the appropriate level of the credit loss provision. Furthermore, management’s overall view on credit quality is a factor in the determination of the provision.

The determination of the appropriate allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates by management. The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that generally includes consideration of changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, along with current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay. Consideration is not limited to these factors although they represent the most commonly cited factors. To determine the specific allocation levels for individual credits, management considers the current valuation of collateral and the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows as the primary measures. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon an ongoing review of those credits. With respect to pools of similar loans, an appropriate level of general allowance is determined by portfolio segment using a probability of default-loss given default (“PD/LGD”) model, subject to a floor. A default can be triggered by one of several different asset quality factors, including past due status, nonaccrual status, TDR status or if the loan has had a charge-off. This PD is then combined with a LGD derived from historical charge-off data to construct a default rate. This loss rate is then supplemented with adjustments for reasonable and supportable forecasts of relevant economic indicators, particularly the unemployment rate forecast from the Federal Open Market Committee’s Summary of Economic Projections, and other environmental factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These environmental factors include consideration of the following: levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and nonperforming loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedure, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. It is also possible that these factors could include social, political, economic, and terrorist events or activities. All of these factors are susceptible to change, which may be significant. As a result of this detailed process, the allowance results in two forms of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for credit losses deemed adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Commercial loans are subject to a dual standardized grading process administered by the credit administration function. These grade assignments are performed independent of each other and a consensus is reached by credit administration and the loan review officer. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that indicate it should be evaluated on an individual basis. Considerations with respect to specific allocations for these individual credits include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the sufficiency of the customer’s cash flow or net worth to repay the loan; (b) the adequacy of the discounted value of collateral relative to the loan balance; (c) whether the loan has been criticized in a regulatory examination; (d) whether the loan is nonperforming; (e) any other reasons the ultimate collectability of the loan may be in question; or (f) any unique loan characteristics that require special monitoring.

Allocations are also applied to categories of loans considered not to be individually analyzed, but for which the rate of loss is expected to be consistent with or greater than historical averages. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. These general pooled loan allocations are performed for portfolio segments of commercial and industrial; commercial real estate, multi-family, and construction; agri-business and agricultural; other commercial loans; and consumer 1-4 family mortgage and other consumer loans. General allocations of the allowance are determined by a historical loss rate based on the calculation of each pool’s probability of

Table of Contents

default-loss given default, subject to a floor. The length of the historical period for each pool is based on the average life of the pool. The historical loss rates are supplemented with consideration of economic conditions and portfolio trends.

Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for credit losses, the Company’s allowance for credit losses includes an unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for credit losses incorporates the Company’s judgmental determination of potential expected losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations, including factors such as the level of classified credits, economic uncertainties, industry trends impacting specific portfolio segments, broad portfolio quality trends, and trends in the composition of the Company’s large commercial loan portfolio and related large dollar exposures to individual borrowers. As a practical expedient, the Company has elected to treat accrued interest the same way it is treated in the incurred loss model, wherein it is stated separately from loan principal balances on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, when a loan is placed on non-accrual, interest payments will be reversed through interest income, which is consistent with current practice.

For off balance sheet credit exposures outlined in the ASU at 326-20-30-11, it is the Company’s position that nearly all of the unfunded amounts on lines of credit are unconditionally cancellable, and therefore not subject to having a liability set up, which matches the current accounting conclusion in the incurred loss environment.

Table of Contents

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful grade loans and annually on Pass grade loans over $250,000.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be “Pass” rated loans with the exception of consumer troubled debt restructurings which are evaluated and listed with Substandard commercial grade loans and consumer nonaccrual loans which are evaluated individually and listed with “Not Rated” loans. Loans listed as Not Rated are consumer loans or commercial loans with consumer characteristics included in groups of homogenous loans which are analyzed for credit quality indicators utilizing delinquency status.

As of June 30, 2021, $194.2 million in PPP loans were included in the "Pass" category of non-working capital commercial and industrial loans. These loans were included in this risk rating category because they are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans:

The Company does not record interest on nonaccrual loans until principal is recovered. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost basis in past due loans as of June 30, 2021 by class of loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing by class of loan:

As of June 30, 2021 there were no loans 30-89 days past due or greater than 89 days past due on nonaccrual. Additionally, interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was insignificant during the six month period ended June 30, 2021.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.

As of June 30, 2021, total deferrals attributed to COVID-19 were $36.9 million representing eight borrowers. This represented 0.8% of the total loan portfolio. All eight were commercial loan borrowers and there were no retail borrowers with COVID-19 deferrals. The majority of all loan deferrals were for a period of 90 days. Of the total commercial deferrals attributed to COVID-19, $14.2 million represented a first deferral action, $253,000 represented a second deferral action, $20.0 million represented a third deferral action and $2.5 million represented a fourth deferral action. One borrower represented 64% of the third and fourth deferral population and was a commercial real estate nonowner occupied loan supported by adequate collateral and personal guarantors and consists of a loan to the hotel and accommodation industry. All COVID-19 related loan deferrals remain on accrual status, as each deferral is evaluated individually, and management has determined that all contractual cashflows are collectable at this time. In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loan deferrals granted to customers that resulted from the impact of COVID-19 and who were not past due at December 31, 2019 were not considered troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2021. This provision was extended to January 1, 2022 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Management continues to monitor these deferrals and has adequately considered these credits in the June 30, 2021 allowance for credit losses balance.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS

For the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had an advance outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) in the amount of $75.0 million. The outstanding FHLB advance is a ten-year fixed-rate putable advance with a rate of 0.39% and is due on March 4, 2030. The advance may not be prepaid by the Company without penalty. All FHLB notes require monthly interest payments and are secured by residential real estate loans and securities.

On August 2, 2019 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement with another financial institution allowing the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million; this credit agreement was subsequently amended and renewed on July 30, 2021. Funds provided under the agreement may be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program, which was reauthorized by the Company’s board of directors on April 13, 2021. The credit agreement includes a negative pledge agreement whereby the Company agrees not to pledge or otherwise encumber the stock of the Bank. The credit agreement has a one year term which may be amended, extended, modified or renewed. Outstanding borrowings on the credit agreement were $0 and $10.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 Significant other 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.

Table of Contents

Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Securities: Securities available-for-sale are valued primarily by a third party pricing service. The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or pricing models which utilize significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). These models utilize the market approach with standard inputs that include, but are not limited to benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. For certain municipal securities that are not rated and observable inputs about the specific issuer are not available, fair values are estimated using observable data from other municipal securities presumed to be similar or other market data on other non-rated municipal securities (Level 3 inputs).

The Company’s Finance Department, which is responsible for all accounting and SEC compliance, and the Company’s Treasury Department, which is responsible for investment portfolio management and asset/liability modeling, are the two areas that determine the Company’s valuation policies and procedures. Both of these areas report directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. For assets or liabilities that may be considered for Level 3 fair value measurement on a recurring basis, these two departments and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer determine the appropriate level of the assets or liabilities under consideration. If there are new assets or liabilities that are determined to be Level 3 by this group, the Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board are made aware of such assets at their next scheduled meeting.

Securities pricing is obtained on securities from a third party pricing service and all security prices are tested annually against prices from another third party provider and reviewed with a market value price tolerance variance that varies by sector: municipal securities +/-5%, government mbs/cmo +/-3% and U.S. treasuries +/-1%. If any securities fall outside the tolerance threshold and have a variance of $100,000 or more, a determination of materiality is made for the amount over the threshold. Any security that would have a material threshold difference would be further investigated to determine why the variance exists and if any action is needed concerning the security pricing for that individual security. Changes in market value are reviewed monthly in aggregate by security type and any material differences are reviewed to determine why they exist. At least annually, the pricing methodology of the pricing service is received and reviewed to support the fair value levels used by the Company. A detailed pricing evaluation is requested and reviewed on any security determined to be fair valued using unobservable inputs by the pricing service.

Mortgage banking derivative: The fair values of mortgage banking derivatives are based on observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Interest rate swap derivatives: Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is determined by pricing or valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Collateral dependent loans: Collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral when repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Fair value is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is based on appraisals by qualified third party appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, the Company’s management routinely applies internal discount factors to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of collateral dependent loans. The deductions to the appraisals take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. Commercial real estate is generally discounted from its appraised

value by 0-50% with the higher discounts applied to real estate that is determined to have a thin trading market or to be specialized collateral. In addition to real estate, the Company’s management evaluates other types of collateral as follows: (a) raw and finished inventory is discounted from its cost or book value by 35-65%, depending on the marketability of the goods (b) finished goods are generally discounted by 30-60%, depending on the ease of marketability, cost of transportation or scope of use of the finished good (c) work in process inventory is typically discounted by 50%-100%, depending on the length of manufacturing time, types of components used in the completion process, and the breadth of the user base (d) equipment is valued at a percentage of depreciated book value or recent appraised value, if available, and is typically discounted at 30-70% after various considerations including age and condition of the equipment, marketability, breadth of use, and whether the equipment includes unique components or add-ons; and (e) marketable securities are discounted by 10%-30%, depending on the type of investment, age of valuation report and general market conditions. This methodology is based on a market approach and typically results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Mortgage servicing rights: As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 servicing assets for residential mortgage loans (“MSRs”) was $3.7 million, carried at amortized cost of $4.2 million less a $518,000 valuation reserve. These residential mortgage loans have a weighted average interest rate of 3.56%, a weighted average maturity of 20 years and are secured by homes generally within the Company’s market area of Northern Indiana and Indianapolis. A third-party valuation model is used to estimate fair value by stratifying the portfolios on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rate. Impairment is estimated based on an income approach. The inputs used include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees and float income. The most significant assumption used to value MSRs is prepayment rate. Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates. The most significant unobservable assumption is the discount rate. At June 30, 2021, the constant prepayment speed (“PSA”) used was 2.20 and discount rate used was 10.5%. At December 31, 2020, the PSA used was 2.04 and the discount rate used was 9.4%.

Other real estate owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are reviewed by the Company’s internal appraisal officer. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable properties used to determine value. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification. In addition, the Company’s management may apply discount factors to the appraisals to take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale: Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments, from third party investors, and result in a Level 2 classification.

If an event of default occurs causing an early termination of an interest rate swap derivative, any early termination amount payable to one party by the other party may be reduced by set-off against any other amount payable by the one party to the other party. If a default in performance of any obligation of a repurchase agreement occurs, each party will set-off property held in respect of transactions against obligations owing in respect of any other transactions.

NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which includes shares held in treasury on behalf of participants in the Company’s Directors Fee Deferral Plan, and share repurchases. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock based awards and warrants, none of which were antidilutive.

NOTE 10. LEASES

The Company leases certain office facilities under long-term operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2029 and some include renewal options. Many of these leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance, utilities and other costs. In many cases, rentals are subject to increase in relation to a cost-of-living index. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as a right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's corresponding lease obligations are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. ROU lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU lease asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases, as allowed as practical expedient of the standard.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Net income in the first six months of 2021 was $47.3 million, up $10.4 million from $37.0 million for the comparable period of 2020. Diluted income per common share was $1.85 in the first six months of 2021, up 28.5% from $1.44 in the comparable period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the Company recording a provision for credit losses of $12.1 million for the six months of 2020 compared to a recovery to provision for credit losses of $223,000 for the first six months of 2021, a decrease in expense of $12.3 million. The elevated provision in 2020 was driven primarily by the economic impact of COVID-19 on the Company's loan customers using the incurred loan loss methodology. Pretax pre-provision earnings in the first six months of 2021 were $57.8 million, an increase of $683,000, or 1.2%, compared to $57.2 million for the comparable period. Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense.

Annualized return on average total equity was 14.49% in the first six months of 2021 versus 12.22% in the comparable period of 2020. Annualized return on average total assets was 1.58% in the first six months of 2021 versus 1.43% in the comparable period of 2020. The Company's average equity to average assets ratio was 10.92% in the first six months of 2021 versus 11.67% in the comparable period of 2020.

Net income in second quarter of 2021 was $24.3 million, up 23.8% from $19.7 million for the comparable period of 2020. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.95 in the second quarter of 2021, up 23.4% from $0.77 in the comparable period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the Company recording a recovery to provision for credit losses of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $7.2 million, compared to provision expense of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. In addition, net income for the second quarter of 2021 was positively impacted by a $4.1 million increase in net interest income and a $171,000 increase in noninterest income. These increases were offset by a $5.6 million, or 26.4%, increase in noninterest expense. Pretax pre-provision earnings in the second quarter of 2021 were $28.4 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 4.3%, compared to $29.6 million for the comparable period of 2020.

Annualized return on average total equity was 14.71% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 12.92% in the comparable period of 2020. Annualized return on average total assets was 1.58% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 1.45% in the comparable period of 2020. The average equity to average assets ratio was 10.76% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 11.23% in the comparable period of 2020.

Total assets were $6.233 billion as of June 30, 2021 versus $5.830 billion as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $402.5 million, or 6.9%. This increase was primarily due to a $322.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $389.4 million increase in securities available-for-sale, offset by a decrease in net loans of $305.8 million. The outstanding balance of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans at June 30, 2021, was $194.2 million versus $412.0 million at December 31, 2020. The Paycheck Protection Program has strengthened the Company’s borrowers’ balance sheets and improved their operating performance. It has further provided a valuable cash injection for all clients who participated in the program. Yet, it has contributed to a reduction in usage of available credit facilities by clients, which decreased to 40% at June 30, 2021 from 43% at December 31, 2020.

Balance sheet growth was primarily funded through growth in deposits during 2021, which was driven by the deposit of PPP loan proceeds into borrower accounts and additional government stimulus payments into customer accounts, inclusive of stimulus payments received for municipal customers. Deposits increased $357.9 million while total borrowings decreased by $10.5 million since December 31, 2020. Total equity increased by $20.3 million due primarily to net income of $47.3 million, dividends declared and paid of $0.68 per share totaling $17.3 million, the day one CECL adjustment to retained earnings of $7.0 million, and a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.5 million, driven primarily by a decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale securities.

Impact of COVID-19. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has had an impact on our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and may have a complex and significant adverse impact on the economy, the banking industry and our Company in future fiscal periods, all subject to a high degree of uncertainty. As a result of the pandemic, our financial condition, capital levels and results of operations have been and could continue to be significantly affected, as described in further detail below.

Table of Contents

Active Management of Credit Risk

The Company’s Commercial Banking and Credit Administration leadership continues to review and refine the list of industries that the company believes are most likely to be materially impacted by the potential economic impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The current assessment of impacted industries has narrowed from year end 2020 and includes only one industry, hotel and accommodation, as compared to the initial list of ten potentially affected industries disclosed in the company’s earnings release for the first quarter of 2020. The hotel and accommodation industry represents approximately 2.3%, or $96 million, of the company’s total loan portfolio. The original ten industries represented a peak of $765 million, or 18.7%, as of March 31, 2020, excluding PPP loans.

The Company’s commercial loan portfolio is highly diversified, and no industry sector represents more than 8% of the bank’s loan portfolio, net of PPP, as of June 30, 2021. Agri-business and agricultural loans, along with healthcare loans, represented the highest specific industry concentrations, at 8% of total loans in both cases. The Company’s Commercial Banking and Credit Administration teams continue to actively work with customers to understand their business challenges and credit needs during this time.

COVID-19 Related Loan Deferrals

Loan deferrals peaked on June 17, 2020, at $737 million, which represented 16% of the total loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, total deferrals attributable to COVID-19 were $37 million, representing eight borrowers, or 1% of the total loan portfolio. Total deferrals as of July 20, 2021 represented a decline in deferral balances of 96% from peak levels in June 2020. Of the $28 million, four were commercial loan borrowers representing $28 million in loans, or 1% of total commercial loans, and there were no retail loan deferrals. All COVID-19 related loan deferrals remain on accrual status, as each deferral is evaluated individually, and management has determined that all contractual cash flows are collectable at this time.

As of July 20, 2021, of the total commercial deferrals attributed to COVID-19, $8 million represented a first deferral action, $250,000 represented a second deferral action and $20 million represented a third deferral action. In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, these deferrals were not considered to be troubled debt restructurings. This provision was extended to January 1, 2022 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. The third deferral actions, which are comprised of two borrowers, have been classified as watch list credits and are adequately reserved for in the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021.

The Company’s retail loan portfolio is comprised of 1-4 family mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and other direct and indirect installment loans. A third-party vendor manages the Company’s retail and commercial credit card program and the Company does not have any balance sheet exposure with respect to this program except for nominal recourse on limited commercial card accounts.

The Paycheck Protection Program

During the first and second quarter of 2021, the Company funded PPP loans totaling $165.1 million for its customers through the second round of the PPP program. In addition, the Bank has continued processing forgiveness applications for PPP loans made during the first and second rounds of the PPP program. As of June 30, 2021, Lake City Bank had $194.2 million in PPP loans outstanding, net of deferred fees, consisting of $40.7 million from PPP round one and $153.5 million from PPP round two. Most of the PPP loans are for existing customers and 55% of the number of PPP loans originated are for amounts less than $50,000. As of June 30, 2021, the SBA has approved forgiveness for $513.6 million in PPP loans originated during round one and $5.7 million in PPP loans originated during round two. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has submitted forgiveness applications on behalf of customers in the amount of $15.2 million for PPP round one and $1.7 million for PPP round two that are awaiting SBA approval.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for credit losses. See “Note 4 – Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality” for more information on this critical accounting policy.

(1)Beginning January 1, 2021 calculation is based on the current expected credit loss methodology. Prior to January 1, 2021 calculation was based on the incurred loss methodology.

(2)Noninterest expense/net interest income plus noninterest income.

(3)Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful to understanding the company’s financial performance. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are used by management for planning and forecasting purposes, including measures based on “tangible common equity” which is “total equity” excluding intangible assets, net of deferred tax, and “tangible assets” which is “total assets” excluding intangible assets, net of deferred tax. See reconciliation on the next page.

(4)Non-GAAP financial measure. Calculated by subtracting the impact PPP loans had on average earnings assets, loan interest income, average interest bearing liabilities, and interest expense. Management believes this is an important measure because it provides for better comparability to prior periods, given the low fixed interest rate of 1.0% applicable to PPP loans, and because the accretion of net loan fee income can be accelerated upon borrower forgiveness and repayment by the SBA. Management is actively monitoring net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis with and without PPP loan impact for the duration of this program. See reconciliation on the next page.

Table of Contents

(5)Non-GAAP financial measure. Pretax pre-provision earnings is calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense. Management believes this is an important measure because it may enable investors to identify the trends in the Company's earnings exclusive of the effects of tax and provision expense, which may vary significantly from period to period. See reconciliation on the next page.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is provided below (in thousands, except for per share data).

Net Income

Net income was $47.3 million in the first six months of 2021, an increase of $10.4 million, or 28.0%, versus net income of $37.0 million in the first six months of 2020. The increase in net income was primarily due to the Company recording a provision for credit losses of $12.1 million for the first six months of 2020 compared to a recovery to provision for credit losses of $223,000 for the first six months of 2021, a decrease of $12.3 million. The higher provision in the first half of 2020 was driven by potential negative impacts on the Company's borrowers from the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which was calculated using the incurred loss model. In addition, net interest income increased by $9.0 million and noninterest income increased by $2.0 million. These were offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $10.2 million and an increase in income tax expense of $2.6 million.

Net income was $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $4.7 million, or 23.8%, versus net income of $19.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the Company recording a recovery to provision for credit losses of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $7.2 million compared to provision expense of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. The higher provision in the second quarter of 2020 was driven by potential negative impacts on the Company’s borrowers from the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which was calculated using the incurred loss model. In addition, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was positively impacted by a $4.1 million, or 10.5%, increase in net interest income and a $171,000, or 1.5%, increase in noninterest income. These increases were offset by a $5.6 million, or 26.4%, increase in noninterest expense.

We anticipate that our net income for future fiscal periods will continue to be impacted as a result of the economic developments resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first half of 2021, provision expense declined relative to the first half provision expense of 2020. This decline was a result of improving economic and asset quality trends, the declining balances of COVID-19 loan deferrals and a one-time recovery of $1.7 million. However, the economic impact of the pandemic continues to evolve and as a result we continue to monitor the impact to customers very closely.

Net interest income in 2021 has been negatively impacted by net interest margin compression that has resulted from excess liquidity and a shift in the mix of earning assets to investment securities. During 2021, PPP loan forgiveness and continued deposit growth has contributed to the increased liquidity on the balance sheet. The combined impact of the low interest rate environment that resulted from the Federal Reserve Bank’s reductions to the target Federal Funds Rate in the first quarter of 2020, together with the Corporation’s asset sensitive balance sheet, has caused a reduction in net interest margin in the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the second quarter of 2020 as well as year-to-date. Loan and investment security yields have been negatively impacted by the decline in interest rates. In addition, the increase in short-term investments and investment securities has contributed to the decline in earning asset yields in 2021. Correspondingly, deposit rates have also declined but have not fully offset the earning asset compression. Net interest margin compression will continue to be impacted from the PPP loan program and the low fixed rate of 1.0% on these loans. Borrowers that meet the loan forgiveness requirements outlined in the SBA program will result in loan balance paydowns for the Bank and an acceleration in unamortized PPP net loan fee income accretion through the income statement. The timing and impact to net interest margin will be contingent on how quickly the PPP loans are submitted for forgiveness by borrowers and approved for forgiveness by the SBA. In addition, loans could be repaid by borrowers in lieu of forgiveness over the course of the next few years. PPP loan income, including both interest and fees, was $8.8 million and $3.7 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. PPP loan income, including both interest and fees, was $3.0 million for both the six months and three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net interest income increased $9.0 million, or 11.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the first six months of 2020. The increase in net interest income was largely driven by an increase in average earning assets of $806.9 million, due primarily to loan growth of $267.4 million and growth in investment securities of $244.2 million. Average loans outstanding increased to $4.527 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $4.260 billion during the the same period of 2020, with most of the growth being in commercial loans. The average balance of PPP loans was $375.2 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to $228.9 million for the first six months of 2020. The earning asset growth was funded through an increase of deposits. Average deposits increased $797.4 million to $5.248 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $4.450 billion for the same period of 2020. PPP loan proceeds to borrowers, additional economic impact payments to consumers, and stimulus payments to municipalities impacted the increase in deposits and core deposits during the first six months of 2021, as these funds were deposited into customer checking and savings accounts at the Bank.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.22% during the first six months of 2020. The yield on earning assets totaled 3.39% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.98% in the same period of 2020. Cost of funds (expressed as a percentage of average earning assets) totaled 0.29% during the first half of 2021 compared to 0.76% in the same period of 2020. The lower margin was due to lower yields on loans and securities, partially offset by a lower cost of funds. The decline in net interest margin resulted from the Federal Reserve Bank decreases in the target Federal Funds Rate by 150 basis points during the first quarter of 2020, which brought the Federal Funds Rate back to the zero-bound range of 0.00% to 0.25% and excess liquidity on the Company's balance sheet. The earning asset mix has changed during 2021 to reflect increased investment securities and short-term investments, which are lower yielding assets. Additionally, the Company's net interest margin was positively impacted by 10 basis points during the first half of 2021 due to interest income and fees earned on PPP loans. Net interest margin excluding PPP loans was 3.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net interest income increased by $4.1 million, or 10.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increased level of net interest income during the second quarter of 2021 was largely driven by an increase in average earning assets of $711.8 million, due primarily to loan growth of $27.3 million, growth in available-for-sale securities of $334.1 million and increases in interest bearing deposits of $418.3 million. The Company deployed $600 million in excess liquidity to its investment security portfolio since late 2020 in response to the surge in deposits that begin in 2020 and has continued into 2021. This earning asset growth was funded through an increase in deposits. Average deposits increased $690.4 million to $5.387 billion for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $4.697 billion for the comparable period of 2020. During this same period, average core deposits increased $770.8 million. The Company defines "core deposits" as total deposits (including all deposits by municipalities and other government agencies), excluding brokered deposits. Short-term borrowings have decreased by $10.9 million during these comparable periods. Additionally, net interest income for 2021 was positively impacted by $308,000 in nonaccrual interest income that was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of previously charged-off credit being paid in full, see "Provision for Credit Losses" for additional details.

The Company’s net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 3.01% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 3.10% for the second quarter of 2020. The lower margin in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the prior year period was due to lower yields on loans and securities, partially offset by a lower cost of funds. As a result of the excess liquidity on the company's balance sheet, the mix of earning assets included lower earning assets consisting of balances at the Federal Reserve Bank and the investment securities portfolio. The decline in earning asset yields, and thereby net interest margin, resulted from the Federal Reserve Bank decreases in the target Federal Funds Rate by 150 basis points during the first quarter of 2020, which brought the Federal Funds Rate back to the zero-bound range of 0.00% to 0.25%. Second quarter loan yields were impacted by the lower yield on the PPP loan portfolio, offset by fees earned as a result of PPP loan forgiveness.

The Company’s net interest margin excluding PPP related net interest income was 6 basis points lower at 2.95% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to actual net interest margin of 3.01%, and reflects a 22 basis point decline from net interest margin excluding PPP loans of 3.17% in the second quarter of 2020. Cost of funds decreased to a historical low of 0.27% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 from 0.56% at June 30, 2020.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company adopted the CECL standard (ASU 2016-13) during the first quarter of 2021, effective January 1, 2021. Prior to this, provision expense was recorded under the incurred loss methodology. The day one impact of the adoption was an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $9.1 million, with an offset, net of taxes, to beginning stockholders’ equity. The Company recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a provision expense of $5.5 million during the comparable period of 2020, a decrease of $7.2 million. The

Table of Contents

provision reversal was driven primarily by a one-time recovery during the second quarter of 2021 of $1.7 million from a commercial loan relationship that had been partially charged off in 2009. Net recoveries were $1.6 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to net charge offs of $90,000 during the comparable period of 2020. The Company recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses expense of $223,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a provision expense of $12.1 million during the comparable period of 2020. The primary factor impacting the provision expense in 2020 was the potential negative impact to the Company's borrowers as a result of the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net recoveries were $1.5 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to net charge offs of $3.7 million during the comparable period of 2020.

The Company has granted COVID-19 loan deferrals to customers which peaked on June 17, 2020 at $737 million, or 16%, of the total loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, COVID-19 loan deferrals have declined to $36.9 million, representing eight borrowers, or 0.8% of the total loan portfolio. All eight were commercial loan borrowers and there were no retail borrowers with COVID-19 deferrals. In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loan deferrals granted to customers that resulted from the impact of COVID-19 and who were not past due at December 31, 2019 were not considered troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. This provision was extended to January 1, 2022 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Management continues to monitor these deferrals and has adequately considered these credits in the June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 allowance for credit losses balance. The recent credit cycle has not been as negative as originally expected in the prior year, and management is comfortable with the current levels of the Company's reserve.

Additional factors considered by management included key loan quality metrics, including reserve coverage of nonperforming loans and economic conditions in the Company’s markets, and changes in the facts and circumstances of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower. Management’s overall view on current credit quality was also a factor in the determination of the provision for credit losses. The Company’s management continues to monitor the adequacy of the provision based on loan levels, asset quality, economic conditions and other factors that may influence the assessment of the collectability of loans.

The Company's noninterest income increased $2.0 million, or 8.9%, to $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $21.9 million in the prior year period. Noninterest income was positively impacted by a $985,000 increase, or 20.4%, in loan and service fees, a $917,000 increase, or 168.6%, in bank owned life insurance income and a $904,000 increase, or 20.6%, in wealth management and investment brokerage fees over the corresponding prior period. Noninterest income was also positively impacted by a $748,000 increase in net securities gains due to repositioning of the available-for-sale securities portfolio in response to the steepening yield curve during the first quarter of 2021. Noninterest income was negatively impacted by a $1.2 million decrease, or 61.6%, in interest rate swap fee income, a $152,000 decrease, or 7.8%, in mortgage banking income and a $419,000 decrease, or 20.9%, decrease in other income. The decrease in other income was primarily driven by a credit valuation adjustment on interest rate swaps during the first quarter of 2020.

The Company’s noninterest income increased $171,000, or 1.5%, to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. Noninterest income was positively impacted by elevated wealth and investment brokerage fees which increased by $538,000, or 25.4%, for these comparable periods. In addition, service charges on deposit accounts were up $332,000, or 15.2%, and loan and service fees were up $617,000, or 25.4%, for these comparable periods due to an increase in economic activity within the Company's operating footprint which resulted in increased utilization of the bank's products and services. Offsetting these increases were decreases of $804,000, or 61.4%, in interest rate swap fee income and $939,000, or 69.4%, in mortgage banking income. Both interest rate swap arrangements and mortgage banking have seen a decrease in demand during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020, and the carrying value of mortgage service rights has been impacted by increased prepayment speeds due to the current rate environment and appreciating single-home values. The increased prepayment speeds has resulted in increased mortgage servicing asset amortization expense of $250,000 during the second quarter of 2021 which offset mortgage banking income earned during the period.

Future noninterest income may continue to be impacted due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the scope of any future governmental policy responses. For example, increased economic activity may result in higher merchant card fee income and higher interchange revenue that is reported in services charges on deposits accounts and loan and service fees. Conversely, increased infection rates due to the Delta variant of COVID-19, and any governmental responses thereto, could reduce economic activity and thereby reduce these activity-driven fees.

The Company’s noninterest expense increased by $10.2 million, or 23.7%, to $53.4 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $43.2 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase was driven by salaries and employee benefits which increased $7.2 million, or 31.1%, primarily due to higher performance-based incentive compensation expense. Professional fees increased $1.5 million, or 68.9%, driven by expenses related to the Company's implementation of Lake City Bank Digital, an innovative digital banking platform, in the first quarter of 2021, as well as an increase in legal and regulatory expense. Data processing expenses associated with the PPP digital solution totaled $490,000 during the first six months of 2021. In addition, the Company made a $500,000 contribution to its foundation in the first quarter of 2021 which is included in corporate and business development expense.

The Company’s noninterest expense increased $5.6 million, or 26.4%, to $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.3 million, or 38.0%, driven by higher performance-based incentive compensation expense and higher employee health insurance expense. Professional fees increased $786,000, or 74.6%, driven by expenses related to the Company's implementation of Lake City Bank Digital in the first quarter of 2021, as well as an increase in legal and regulatory expense. Data processing fees increased $375,000, or 13.3%, driven by the Company’s continued investment in customer focused, technology-based solutions, such as the online PPP origination and forgiveness platform, and ongoing cybersecurity and data management enhancements.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 48.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 43.0% in the prior period. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 48.5% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 41.6% for the second quarter of 2020.

As previously disclosed, in the third quarter of 2019, the Bank discovered potentially fraudulent activity by a former treasury management client involving multiple banks. The former client subsequently filed several related bankruptcy cases, captioned In re Interlogic Outsourcing, Inc., et al., which are pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. On April 27, 2021, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving an amended plan of liquidation, which was filed by the former client, other debtors and bankruptcy plan proponents. In related filings, the debtors have disclosed that they have various potential state and federal claims against the Bank, and that they had settled similar claims against another bank. Based on current information, we have determined that a loss is neither probable nor estimable at this time, and the Bank intends to vigorously defend itself if any claim is filed.

Future noninterest expense may continue to be impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, continued economic reopening and growth may impact balance sheet growth and resulting revenue growth which could increase the amount the Company pays in incentive-based compensation. In addition, prolonged supply chain disruptions and increased infection rates due to the Delta variant of COVID-19 could halt the economic recovery and result in elevated provision expense which may reduce net income and diluted earnings per share, another key performance metric that impacts the incentive-based compensation targets.

The Company’s income tax expense increased $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. The effective tax rate was 18.5% and 19.0%, respectively, in the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2021, compared to 18.0% and 18.4% for the comparable periods of 2020. The year-to-date effective tax rate for 2021 increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due a lower percentage of income being derived from tax-advantaged sources.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

Total assets of the Company were $6.233 billion as of June 30, 2021, an increase of $402.5 million, or 6.9%, when compared to $5.830 billion as of December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $322.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $389.4 million increase in securities available-for-sale, offset by a decrease in gross loans of $295.4 million, or 6.4%. Total deposits increased $357.9 million, or 7.1%, while total borrowings decreased by $10.5 million, or 12.3%. The increase in deposits was primarily driven by growth in core deposits of $362.9 million, or 7.2%, offset by a decrease in wholesale funding of $5.0 million. Core deposits were $5.385 billion as of June 30, 2021 compared to $5.022 billion as of December 31, 2020. The net decline in PPP loans was due to loan forgiveness of $370.9 million from round one loans, $5.7 million from round two loans and $165.1 million of loans originated in round two of the program. The outstanding balance of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans at June 30, 2021, was $194.2 million versus $412.0 million at December 31, 2020. Loans excluding PPP loans decreased by $77.7 million, or 1.8%, from $4.237 billion at December 31, 2020 to $4.159 billion at June 30, 2021. Additionally, commercial deposits increased by $181.7 million, or 9.4%, to $2.122 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $1.940 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in commercial and retail core deposits has resulted from proceeds from the PPP loan program, federal stimulus payments made to individuals, customer liquidity events and an increase in the savings rate during the pandemic.

Uses of Funds

Total Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $322.9 million, or 129.2% to $572.8 million at June 30, 2021, from $249.9 million at December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 reflect repayments on loans as well as cash inflows from federal stimulus programs and an overall increase in the savings rate during the pandemic. Short-term investments include cash on deposit that earns interest such as excess liquidity maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank. Cash and cash equivalents balances will vary depending on the cyclical nature of the bank’s liquidity position.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government agencies and government sponsored entities, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity. Management is aware that, as interest rates rise, any unrealized loss in the investment portfolio will increase, and as interest rates fall the unrealized gain in the investment portfolio will rise. Since the majority of the bonds in the investment portfolio are fixed-rate, with only a few adjustable-rate bonds, we would expect our investment portfolio to follow this market value pattern. This is taken into consideration when evaluating the gain or loss of investment securities in the portfolio and the potential for an allowance for credit losses.

Purchases of securities available-for-sale totaled $437.7 million in the first six months of 2021. The purchases consisted of mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and state and municipal securities. The investment security purchases reflect the deployment of excess liquidity to the investment portfolio. The Company deployed $100 million in December 2020, an additional $100 million during the first quarter of 2021 and an additional $400 million during the second quarter of 2021. The deployment was due to the surge in deposits balances that began in 2020 and has continued into 2021. Paydowns from prepayments and scheduled payments of $50.5 million were received in the first six months of 2021, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts, was $2.1 million. Maturities and calls of securities totaled $16.1 million in the first six months of 2021. Sales of securities totaled $14.0 million in the first six months of 2021. No allowance for credit losses was recognized in the first six months of 2021.

Purchases of securities available-for-sale totaled $47.4 million in the first six months of 2020. The purchases consisted primarily of state and municipal securities and purchases of mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities. Paydowns from prepayments and scheduled payments of $36.5 million were received in the first six months of 2020, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts, was $2.0 million. Maturities and calls of securities totaled $3.9 million in the first six months of 2020. Sales of securities totaled $1.1 million in the first six months of 2020. No other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in the first six months of 2020.

The investment portfolio is managed by a third-party firm to provide for an appropriate balance between liquidity, credit risk, interest rate risk management and investment return and to limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk in the investment securities portfolio to an acceptable level. The Company does not trade or invest in or sponsor certain unregistered investment companies defined as hedge funds and private equity funds under what is commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule” of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Real Estate Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale

Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale decreased by $4.2 million, or 37.6%, to $7.0 million at June 30, 2021, from $11.2 million at December 31, 2020. The balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability depending on, among other things, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of loan sales into the secondary market. The Company generally sells conforming qualifying mortgage loans it originates on the secondary market. Proceeds from sales of residential mortgages totaled $71.0 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $48.1 million in the first six months of 2020. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were $366.5 million and $351.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(1)Beginning January 1, 2021 calculation is based on the current expected credit loss methodology. Prior to January 1, 2021 calculation was based on the incurred loss methodology.

Total loans, excluding real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale and deferred fees, decreased by $295.2 million to $4.362 billion at June 30, 2021 from $4.657 billion at December 31, 2020. The decrease was concentrated in the commercial and industrial and agribusiness categories and was driven by seasonal paydowns in agribusiness loans and forgiveness of PPP round one loans. We anticipate that the portion of our loan portfolio attributable to PPP loans will continue to decline in future quarters, as borrowers avail themselves of loan forgiveness opportunities under the PPP. Total loans excluding PPP loans decreased by $77.7 million, as of June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020. The balance of net deferred loans fees attributable to PPP loans was $6.3 million as of June 30, 2021. PPP round one and round two unamortized loan fees, net of deferred costs, were $360,000 and $5.9 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.

The following table summarizes the Company’s non-performing assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Total nonperforming assets decreased by $618,000, or 5.0%, to $11.8 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at June 30, 2021 decreased from 0.21% at December 31, 2020 to 0.19% at June 30, 2021.

A loan is individually analyzed when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. The analysis for smaller loans that are similar in nature and which are not in nonaccrual or troubled debt restructured status, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, is determined based on the class of loans. If a loan is individually analyzed, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Total individually analyzed loans decreased by $900,000 to $19.3 million at June 30, 2021 from $20.2 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in the individually analyzed loans category was primarily due to payments received on these loans.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the economy, we anticipate that our commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer borrowers may continue to encounter economic difficulties, which could lead to increases in our levels of nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings in future periods. Additionally, the balances of troubled debt restructurings could increase due to the expiration of relief for temporary COVID-19 related accommodations.

Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the principal is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb current expected credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation of the loans by management, as well as other current expected losses in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of general allowance is determined after considering the following factors: application of loss percentages using a PD/LGD approach subject to a floor, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentrations, new industry lending activity and current economic conditions. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans: Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The regulations also contain a Special Mention category. Special Mention applies to loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention. The Company’s policy is to establish a specific allowance for credit losses for any assets where management has identified conditions or circumstances that indicate an asset is nonperforming. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as a loss, the Company’s policy is to either establish specified allowances for credit losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss or charge-off such amount.

At June 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses was 1.65% of total loans outstanding, versus 1.32% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2020, which was calculated under the incurred loss methodology prior to January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding, excluding PPP loans of $194.2 million, as of June 30, 2021, was 1.72%. This reflects a more comparable ratio to prior periods, as PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and have not been allocated for within the allowance for credit losses calculation. The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 included a $9.1 million, day one impact from the adoption of CECL at January 1, 2021. At June 30, 2021, management believed the allowance for credit losses was at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions fail to recover or deteriorate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require increases in the allowance for credit losses. The process of identifying credit losses is a subjective process.

The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, which are extended to businesses with a broad range of revenue and within a wide variety of industries. Traditionally, this type of lending may have more credit risk than other types of lending because of the size and diversity of the credits. The Company manages this risk by utilizing conservative credit structures, by adjusting its pricing to the perceived risk of each individual credit and by diversifying the portfolio by customer, product, industry and market area.

As of June 30, 2021, based on management’s review of the loan portfolio, the Company had 89 credit relationships totaling $260.5 million on the classified loan list versus 96 credit relationships totaling $286.1 million on December 31, 2020. The decrease in classified loans for the first six months of 2021 resulted primarily from paydowns as well as upgrades to previously classified loans on the non-individually analyzed portion of the watchlist. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $197.3 million of assets classified as Special Mention, $63.2 million classified as Substandard, $0 classified as Doubtful and $0 classified as Loss as compared to $251.9 million, $34.2 million, $0 and $0, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Allowance estimates are developed by management after taking into account actual loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions and a reasonably supportable forecast period. The Company has regular discussions regarding this methodology with regulatory authorities. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Company’s loan portfolio based upon loan segment. In accordance with CECL accounting guidance, the allowance is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. For a more thorough discussion of the allowance for credit losses methodology see the Critical Accounting Policies section of this Item 2.

The allowance for credit losses increased 16.8%, or $10.3 million, from $61.4 million at December 31, 2020 to $71.7 million at June 30, 2021. The increase included a $9.1 million adjustment on January 1, 2021 related to the day one CECL adoption. Most of the Company’s recent loan growth has been concentrated in the commercial loan portfolio, which can result in overall asset quality being influenced by a small number of credits. Management has historically considered growth and portfolio composition when determining credit loss allocations.

Prior to the pandemic, economic conditions in the Company’s markets were stable. During the past 12 months some industries have performed well during the pandemic, while others have not. The Company is monitoring industries and borrowers impacted by the pandemic as discussed. Watch list loans are $25.6 million lower at $260.5 million compared to $286.1 million at December 31, 2020, which represents 5.98% of total loans at June 30, 2021 compared to 6.15% at December 31, 2020. When excluding PPP loans, watch list loans were 6.26% of total loans at June 30, 2021 compared to 6.75% at December 31, 2020. This reflects a more comparable ratio to prior periods, as PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and have not been allocated for within the allowance for credit losses calculation. The Company’s continued growth strategy promotes diversification among industries as well as continued focus on the enforcement of a disciplined credit culture and a conservative position in loan work-out situations.

As of June 30, 2021, total deferrals attributed to COVID-19 were $36.9 million, representing eight commercial loan borrowers. This represented .85% of the total loan portfolio and .94% of commercial loans.

A summary of loan deferrals attributed to COVID-19, by loan segment, as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	Borrowers			Balance
CRE - Nonowner Occupied	2	25.0	%	$	20,007	54.2	%
CRE - Multifamily Loans	1	12.5		7,954		21.5
Commercial & Industrial	2	25.0		5,708		15.5
CRE - Owner Occupied	2	25.0		2,989		8.1
Installment - other consumer	1	12.5		253		0.7
Total	8	100.0	%	$	36,911	100.0	%

As of June 30, 2021, one borrower with loans outstanding of $253,000 was in their second deferral period. Additionally, two borrowers with aggregate loans outstanding of $20.0 million were in their third deferral period, and two borrowers with aggregate loans outstanding of $2.5 million were on their fourth deferral period. All COVID-19 related loan deferrals remain on accrual status, as each deferral is evaluated individually, and management has determined that all contractual cash flows are collectable at this time.

Deposits and Borrowings

As of June 30, 2021, total deposits increased by $357.9 million, or 7.1%, from December 31, 2020. Core deposits increased by $362.9 million to $5.385 billion as of June 30, 2021 from $5.022 billion as of December 31, 2020. Total brokered deposits were $10.0 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2020 reflecting a $5.0 million decrease during the first six months of 2021. PPP loan proceeds to borrowers and government stimulus to consumers impacted the increase in deposits during 2021 as loan proceeds and stimulus payments were deposited into customer checking and savings accounts at the Bank.

Since December 31, 2020, the change in core deposits was comprised of increases in commercial deposits of $181.7 million, retail deposits of $68.2 million and public funds deposits of $112.9 million. Total public funds deposits, including public funds transaction accounts, were $1.275 billion at June 30, 2021 and $1.162 billion at December 31, 2020.

The following table summarizes deposit composition at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Current Period Change
Retail	$	1,987,250	$	1,919,040	$	68,210

Total deposits	$	5,394,664	$	5,036,805	$	357,859

Total borrowings decreased by $10.5 million, or 12.3%, from December 31, 2020, due to repayment of the Company’s holding company line of credit. The Company utilizes wholesale funding, including brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, to supplement funding of assets, which is primarily used for loan and investment securities growth. Additionally, management has completed the actions required to participate in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF); however, there were no PPP loans pledged to the PPPLF as of June 30, 2021. Management anticipates that the Company’s deposit balances may fluctuate more than usual during the remainder of 2021 due to the impact of PPP loan originations, which are made to PPP loan recipient deposit accounts. The timing and use of these funds in addition to draws on unfunded commitments could impact our need to borrow throughout the year.

Capital

As of June 30, 2021, total stockholders’ equity was $677.5 million, an increase of $20.3 million, or 3.1%, from $657.2 million at December 31, 2020. Net income of $47.3 million increased equity. Offsetting the increase to stockholders’ equity was a decrease of $5.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, which was primarily driven by a net decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, dividends declared and paid in the amount of $17.3 million and the day one CECL adjustment, net of taxes, of $7.0 million.

The impact on equity for other comprehensive income (loss) is not included in regulatory capital. The banking regulators have established guidelines for leverage capital requirements, expressed in terms of Tier 1, or core capital, as a percentage of average assets, to measure the soundness of a financial institution. In addition, banking regulators have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations.

•the effects of competition from a wide variety of local, regional, national and other providers of financial, investment and insurance services;

•the risks of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, 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 from such transactions;

•governmental monetary, tax and fiscal policies and the impact the most recent election will have on these;

•changes in accounting policies, rules and practices, including as a result of adopting CECL on January 1, 2021;

•changes in technology or products that may be more difficult or costly, or less effective than anticipated, including in connection with our Lake City Bank Digital platform;

•cyber-security risks and or cyber-security damage that could result from attacks on the Company’s or third-party service providers networks or data of the Company;

•the effects of any employee or customer fraud;

•the risk of trade policy and tariffs could impact loan demand from the manufacturing sector;

•the effects of war or other conflicts, acts of terrorism or other catastrophic events, including storms, droughts, tornados and flooding, that may affect general economic conditions, including agricultural production and demand and prices for agricultural goods and land used for agricultural purposes, generally and in our markets; and

•the risks noted in the Risk Factors discussed under Item 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk represents the Company’s primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Corporate Risk Committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy was last reviewed and approved in July 2021. The policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income but do not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company, through the Bank's Asset and Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the types of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit the Company’s needs, as determined by the Asset and Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the next twelve months. The Company continually evaluates the assumptions used in the model. The current balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels.

Interest rate scenarios for the base, falling 25 basis points, rising 25 basis points, rising 50 basis points, rising 100 basis points, rising 200 basis points and rising 300 basis points are listed below based upon the Company’s rate sensitive assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021. The net interest income shown represents cumulative net interest income over a twelve-month time horizon. Balance sheet assumptions used for the base scenario are the same for the rising and falling simulations.

The base scenario is an annual calculation that is highly dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the model. While the base sensitivity analysis incorporates management’s best estimate of interest rate and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual behavior and resulting earnings impact will likely differ from that projected. For certain assets, the base simulation model captures the expected prepayment behavior under changing interest rate environments. Assumptions and methodologies regarding the interest rate or balance behavior of indeterminate maturity core deposit products, such as savings, money market, NOW and demand deposits reflect management’s best estimate of expected future behavior.


(dollars in thousands)	Base		Falling (25 Basis Points)			Rising (25 Basis Points)			Rising (50 Basis Points)			Rising (100 Basis Points)			Rising (200 Basis Points)			Rising (300 Basis Points)
Net interest income	$	171,017	$	168,087		$	173,743		$	176,621		$	182,366		$	194,955		$	207,379
