NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Byline Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its Illinois state chartered subsidiary bank, Byline Bank (the “Bank”), based in Chicago, Illinois.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2018 for potential recognition or disclosure. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure through the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. No subsequent events were identified that would have required a change to the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any changes to previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we revised our previously issued 2017 consolidated financial statements to properly record a deferred tax liability associated with the bad debt recapture assumed from the acquisition of Ridgestone Financial Services, Inc. (“Ridgestone”) and its subsidiaries on October 14, 2016. The acquisition of Ridgestone was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. The fair value adjustments associated with this transaction were finalized during the fourth quarter of 2017.

We evaluated the effect of the error to our previously issued consolidated financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and No. 108,  and, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the error was not material to our previously issued consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we have reflected the change in 2017 and revised our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition disclosed herein. Consolidated financial statements for periods not presented herein will be revised, as applicable, as they are included in future filings.

All financial information presented in the accompanying notes to these consolidated financial statements was revised to reflect the change. The change did not affect net income or stockholders’ equity for the periods impacted.

The following reflect recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted or are pending adoption by the Company. As the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting pronouncements, it is not subject to new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies during the extended transition period. The accounting pronouncements pending adoption below reflect effective dates for the Company as an emerging growth company with the extended transition period.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, deferred by ASU No. 2015-14 and clarifying standards, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which creates Topics 606 and 610 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, the new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. Under the terms of ASU No. 2015-14 the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 to determine the potential impact the standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As a financial institution, the Company’s largest component of revenue, interest income, is excluded from the scope of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating which, if any, of its sources of non-interest income will be impacted by this ASU. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the Company expects to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2019, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if such adjustment is deemed to be significant. In April 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing . The amendments in this ASU do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this ASU clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (1) identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, discussed above, which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers . The Company is evaluating the provisions of this ASU in conjunction with ASU No. 2014-09 to determine the potential impact Topic 606 and its amendments will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , amending ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in this ASU do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this ASU affect only several narrow aspects of Topic 606. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, discussed above, which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The Company is evaluating the provisions of this ASU in conjunction with ASU No. 2014-09 to determine the potential impact Topic 606 and its amendments will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2 017-14, amending ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The ASU amends the codification to incorporate additional previously issued guidance from the SEC. The SEC issued SAB 116 to bring existing SEC staff guidance into conformity with the F ASB’s adoption of and amendments to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The SAB modified SAB Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2017-14 supersedes various SEC paragraphs and amends an SEC paragraph pursuant to the issuance of SAB 116. The Company is evaluating the provisions of this ASU in conjunction with ASU No. 2014 ‑09 to determine the potential impact Topic 606 and its amendments will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The amendments in this ASU require equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value under certain circumstances and require enhanced disclosures about those investments. The amendments simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The amendments also eliminate the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The amendments in this ASU require separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. This amendment excludes from net income gains or losses that the entity may not realize because those financial liabilities are not usually transferred or settled at their fair values before maturity. The amendments in this ASU require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-03, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The ASU clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2016-01. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2018-03 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases . The amendments in this ASU require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term) at the commencement date; a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU leave lessor accounting largely unchanged, although certain targeted improvements were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This ASU simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and its impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2020. The Company expects an increase in assets and liabilities as a result of recognizing additional lease contracts where the Company is a lessee.

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and its impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . FASB issued this ASU as part of its Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in this ASU involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Amendments in this ASU relate to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. Amendments in this ASU require recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the practical expedient for estimating expected term should be applied prospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this ASU related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. This ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting . The amendments in the ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) or the modified ward is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.  If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification. (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. (3) The classification of the modified award is an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.  The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and its impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information

incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. The amendmen ts in this ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods  within those fiscal years. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporti ng periods after January 1, 2021. The Company is still evaluating the effects this ASU will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company has not quantified the impact of this ASU, it does expect changing from the current incur red loss model to an expected loss model will result in an earlier recognition of losses.

Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . There is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230 and other Topics. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. Those eight issues are (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. Current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on these eight cash flow classification issues. These amendments provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing current and potential future diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-15 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (230), Restricted Cash . The ASU will require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes (Topic 740) In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . The ASU was issued to improve the accounting for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party; this update clarifies that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations (Topic 805) In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business . The guidance clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect a material impact of this ASU on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The amendments in this ASU are intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill

(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

impairment test by eliminating step two from the impairment test. The amendments modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceed s its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocat ed to that reporting unit. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company’s annual or any interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment te sts performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted these amendments in 2017, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Subtopic 610-20) In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets .  This ASU will clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20 and add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets.   The amendments should be applied either on retrospectively to each period presented or with a modified retrospective approach.  The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-05 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium at the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, the Company amortizes the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. As a result, upon exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is charged to earnings. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is required to apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-08 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception . The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, a provision in an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) that provides a downward adjustment of the current exercise price based on the price of future equity offerings. Down round features are common in warrants, convertible preferred shares, and convertible debt instruments. The ASU requires companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017‑11 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) In February 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The ASU helps organizations address certain stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The ASU provides reporting entities with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI

14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. The ASU requires reporting entities to d isclose: a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI; whether they elect to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; and information about the other income tax effects that are reclass ified. The amendments affect any organization that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income , and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other compr ehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018. The adoption did not impac t the Company’s Statements of Operations , and resulted in a reclassification of $763,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

Financial Services—Depository and Lending (Topic 942) In May 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-06, Codification Improvements to Topic 942, Depository and Lending Income Taxes . The amendments in this ASU supersede the guidance within Subtopic 942-741 that has been rescinded by the OCC and no longer relevant. A cross-reference between Subtopic 740-30, Income Taxes—Other Considerations or Special Areas, and Subtopic 942-740 is being added to the remaining guidance in Subtopic 740-30 to improve the usefulness of the codification. The amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance, as no accounting requirements are affected. The amendments in this ASU do not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3—Acquisition of a Business

On October 14, 2016, the Company acquired stock of Ridgestone Financial Services, Inc. (“Ridgestone”) and its subsidiaries under the terms of a definitive merger agreement (“Agreement”) dated June 9, 2016. Ridgestone operated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ridgestone Bank and RidgeStone Capital Trust I, and specialized in government guaranteed lending as a participant in the SBA and USDA lending programs. Ridgestone provided financial services through its two full-service banking offices in Brookfield, Wisconsin and Schaumburg, Illinois. In addition, Ridgestone had loan production offices located in Wisconsin (Green Bay and Wausau), Indiana (Indianapolis) and California (Newport Beach).

Under the terms of the Agreement, each Ridgestone common share was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the stockholder (subject to proration as outlined in the Agreement), either cash or Company common stock, or the combination of both. Total consideration included aggregate cash in the amount of $36.8 million and the issuance of 4,199,791 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $16.25 per common share. The transaction resulted in goodwill of $28.9 million, which is nondeductible for tax purposes, as this acquisition was a nontaxable transaction. Goodwill represents the premium paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and reflects related synergies expected from the combined operations. Acquisition advisory expenses related to the Ridgestone acquisition of $1.6  million are reflected in non-interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock issuance costs were not material. There were no contingent assets or liabilities arising from the acquisition.

The acquisition of Ridgestone was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities involves significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. The fair value adjustments associated with this transaction were finalized during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At March 31, 2018, the Company evaluated the securities which had an unrealized loss for o ther than temporary impairment and determined all declines in value to be temporary. There were 120 securities available-for-sale with unrealized losses at March 31, 2018. There were 51 securities held-to-maturity with unrealized losses at March 31, 2018. The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by maturity, or sooner, in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The proceeds from all sales of securities available-for-sale, and the associated gains and losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are listed below:

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The restructurings were granted due to borrower financial difficulty and provide for a modification of loan repayment terms. The Company has allocated a specific allowance of $215,000 and $357,000 for these loans at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. In addition, there were no commitments outstanding on troubled debt restructurings.

Loans modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017 resulted in $144,000 and $487,000 of charge-offs or permanent reductions of the recorded investments in the loans, respectively. There was one commercial real estate loan totaling $125,000 that was modified as a troubled debt restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the restructure date during the year ended December 31, 2017 had a recorded investment of $144,000. No troubled debt restructurings subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the restructure date during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $1.0 million and $923,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the provisions for unfunded commitments were $113,000 and $50,000, respectively. There were no charge-offs or recoveries related to the reserve for unfunded commitments during the periods.

Loan servicing income totaled $563,000 and $919,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of servicing rights.

Generally, as interest rates rise on variable rate loans, loan prepayments increase due to an increase in refinance activity, which may result in a decrease in the fair value of servicing assets. Measurement of fair value is limited to the condition existing and the assumptions used as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may change over time. Refer to Note 16—Fair Value Measurement for further details.

Note 10—Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. This effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences and statutory tax rates.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 16.3% and 40.9%, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the Tax Act reduces the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. Also on December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the Tax Act’s impact. SAB 118 provides a measurement period, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment during which a company, acting in good faith, may complete the accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act. The Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $724,000 as a result of the rate change.

Net deferred tax assets remained relatively unchanged at $47.4 million at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. The reduction in the Company’s net operation loss carryforwards being applied to the current year tax liability was offset by an increase in its deferred tax asset related to unrealized holding losses on securities available-for-sale.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent a demand deposit product offered to customers that sweep balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit into overnight repurchase agreements. The Company pledges securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements. Refer to Note 4—Securities for additional discussion.

On October 13, 2016, in connection with the Ridgestone acquisition, the Company entered into a $30.0 million credit agreement with a correspondent bank. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the interest rate was 3.75 % . In April 2017, the revolving line of credit was amended to a non-revolving line of credit as long as the outstanding balance exceeds $5.0

million. When the outstanding balance is reduced to $5.0 million, the line of credit will be converted to a re volving line of credit with credit availability up to $5.0 million until maturity.  In July 2017, the Company repaid the outstanding balance, in full, under this line of credit of $16.2 million with proceeds from its initial public offering (“IPO”). The li ne of credit matured on October 12, 2017 and carried an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate. On October 12, 2017, the Company amended the credit agreement, which extended the maturity date to October 11, 2018. The amended revolving line of credit bears i nterest at either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Rate plus 250 basis points or the Prime Rate minus 25 basis points, based on the Company’s election, which is required to be communicated at least three business days prior to the commencement o f an interest period. If the Company fails to provide timely notification, the interest rate will be Prime Rate minus 25 basis points. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the line of credit has not been drawn upon, so an interest rate option has not been selected.

The following table presents short-term credit lines available for use, for which the Company did not have an outstanding balance as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

In 2004, the Company’s predecessor, Metropolitan Bank Group, Inc., issued $35.0 million floating rate junior subordinated debentures to Metropolitan Statutory Trust 1, which was formed for the issuance of trust preferred securities. The debentures bear interest at three LIBOR plus 2.79% (4.97% and 4.39% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively). Interest is payable quarterly. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after March 2009. Accrued interest payable was $65,000 and $62,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

As part of the Ridgestone acquisition, the Company assumed the obligations to RidgeStone Capital Trust I of $1.5 million in principal amount, which was formed for the issuance of trust preferred securities. Refer to Note 3—Acquisition of a Business for additional information. Beginning on June 30, 2008, the interest rate reset to the five-year LIBOR plus 3.50% (5.09% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017), which is in effect until September 30, 2018 and updated every five years. Interest is paid on a quarterly basis. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after June 30, 2008. There was no accrued interest payable as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Trusts are not consolidated with the Company. Accordingly, the Company reports the subordinated debentures held by the Trusts as liabilities. The Company owns all of the common securities of each trust. The junior subordinated debentures qualify, and are treated as, Tier 1 regulatory capital of the Company subject to regulatory limitations. The trust preferred securities issued by each trust rank equally with the common securities in right of payment, except that if an event of default under the indenture governing the notes has occurred and is continuing, the preferred securities will rank senior to the common securities in right of payment.

Operating lease commitment s —The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements primarily for facilities and land on which banking facilities are located. Certain lease agreements have renewal options at the end of the original lease term and certain lease agreements have escalation clauses in the rent payments.

The minimum annual rental commitments for operating leases subsequent to March 31, 2018, exclusive of taxes and other charges, are summarized as follows:

The Company’s rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017  were $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During t he three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company received $170,000 and $190,000, respectively, in sublease income which is included in the C onsolidated Statements of Operations as a reduction of occupancy expense. The total amount of minimum rentals to be received in the future on these subleases is approximately $1.8 million, and the leases have contractual lives extending through 2025. In addition to the above required lease payments, the Company has contractual obligations related primarily to information technology contracts and other maintenance contracts. The amounts are not material.

Commitments to extend credi t —The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for funded instruments. The Bank does not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and standby letters of credit.

The following table summarizes the contract or notional amount of outstanding loan and lease commitments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 :

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral is primarily obtained in the form of commercial and residential real estate (including income producing commercial properties).

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee to a third-party the performance of a customer. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 1.00% to 19.50% and maturities up to 2024. Variable rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 2.45% to 11.75% and maturities up to 2040.

Note 16—Fair Value Measurement

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. In addition, the Company has the ability to obtain fair values for markets that are not accessible.

These types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

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

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs may be adjusted for market considerations when reasonably available.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to assets and liabilities.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for certain assets measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities available-for-sal e —The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. Management reviews the procedures used by the third party, including significant inputs used in the fair value calculations. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. When market quotes are not readily accessible or available, alternative approaches are utilized, such as matrix or model pricing.

The Company’s methodology for pricing non-rated bonds focuses on three distinct inputs: equivalent rating, yield and other pricing terms. To determine the rating for a given non-rated municipal bond, the Company references a publicly issued bond by the same issuer if available as well as other additional key metrics to support the credit worthiness. Typically, pricing for these types of bonds would require a higher yield than a similar rated bond from the same issuer. A reduction in price is applied to the rating obtained from the comparable bond, as the Company believes if liquidated, a non-rated bond would be valued less than a similar bond with a verifiable rating. The reduction applied by the Company is one notch lower (i.e. a “AA” rating for a comparable bond would be reduced to “AA-” for the Company’s valuation). In 2018 and 2017, all of the ratings derived by the Company were “BBB” or better with and without comparable bond proxies. The fair value measurement of municipal bonds is sensitive to the rating input, as a higher rating typically results in an increased valuation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

The remaining pricing inputs used in the bond valuation are observable. Based on the rating determined, the Company obtains a corresponding current market yield curve available t o market participants. Other terms including coupon, maturity date, redemption price, number of coupon payments per year, and accrual method are obtained from the individual bond term sheets.

Servicing asset s —Fair value is based on a loan-by-loan basis taking into consideration the original term to maturity, the current age of the loan and the remaining term to maturity. The valuation methodology utilized for the servicing assets begins with generating future cash flows for each servicing asset, based on their unique characteristics and market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds. The present value of the future cash flows are then calculated utilizing market-based discount rate assumptions.

Derivative instrument s —Interest rate swaps are valued by a third party, using models that primarily use market observable inputs, such as yield curves, and are validated by comparison with valuations provided by the respective counterparties. Derivative financial instruments are included in other assets and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

During 2016, the Company acquired the servicing assets and single-issuer trust preferred securities included in other securities categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy through a business combination.

T he Company has purchased privately-issued municipal securities that are categorized as Level 3. These municipal securities are bonds issued for one municipal government entity located in the Chicago metropolitan area and are privately placed, non-rated bonds without Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures numbers.

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for certain assets measured and carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Impaired loans (excluding acquired impaired loans ) —Impaired loans, other than those existing on the date of a business acquisition, are primarily carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Valuations of impaired loans that are collateral dependent are supported by third party appraisals in accordance with the Bank’s credit policy. Impaired loans that are not collateral dependent are not material.

Assets held for sal e —Assets held for sale consist of former branch locations, vacant land, and a house previously purchased for expansion. Assets are considered held for sale when management has approved to sell the assets following a branch closure or other events. The properties are being actively marketed and transferred to assets held for sale based on the lower of carrying value or its fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Other real estate owne d —Certain assets held within other real estate owned represent real estate or other collateral that has been adjusted to its estimated fair value, less cost to sell, as a result of transferring from the loan portfolio at the time of foreclosure or repossession and based on management’s periodic impairment evaluation. From time to time, non-recurring fair value adjustments to other real estate owned are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on an observable market price or current appraised value of property.

Adjustments to fair value based on such non-recurring transactions generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following tables summarize the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, excluding acquired impaired loans, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of other assets and liabilities for disclosure purposes:

Cash and cash equivalent s —For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value for time certificates with other banks is based on the market values for comparable investments.

Securities held-to-maturit y —The Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. Management reviews the procedures used by the third party, including significant inputs used in the fair value calculations. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. When market quotes are not readily accessible or available, alternative approaches are utilized, such as matrix or model pricing.

Restricted stoc k —The fair value has been determined to approximate cost.

Loans held for sale The fair value of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, and determined by discounted estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.

37


BYLINE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

Loan and lease receivables, net —For certain variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value is estimated at carrying value. The fair value of other t ypes of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit liabilitie s —The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances —The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the agreements based on maturities using rates currently offered for FHLB advances of similar remaining maturities adjusted for prepayment penalties that would be incurred if the borrowings were paid off on the measurement date.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchas e —The carrying amount approximates fair value due to  maturities of less than ninety days.

Junior subordinated debenture s —The fair value of junior subordinated debentures, in the form of trust preferred securities, is determined using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued interest receivable and payable —The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credi t —The fair values of these off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit are not considered practicable to estimate because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.

The Company recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. The Company records derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities, respectively. The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges —Cash flow hedges of interest payments associated with certain FHLB advances had notional amounts totaling $250.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, to the extent effective. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings when the hedged FHLB advances affect earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value of the designated hedged transactions. The Company expects the hedges to remain effective during the remaining terms of the swaps and did not recognize any hedge ineffectiveness in current earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Interest recorded on these swap transactions reduced FHLB expense by $61,000 and increased FHLB expense by $54,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is reported as a component of interest expense on FHLB advances. At March 31, 2018, the Company estimates $1.8 million of the unrealized gain to be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the next twelve months.

The following table reflects the net gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to the cash flow derivative instruments for the three months ended:

Other credit derivative— The total notional amount was $1.3 million as of March 31, 2018 with a maturity date of January 2025. The fair value of the other credit derivative is reflected in other liabilities with corresponding gains or losses reflected in non-interest income. The credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) related to the other credit derivative resulted in an increase to other non-interest income of $23,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Credit risk —Derivative instruments are inherently subject to market risk and credit risk. Market risk is associated with changes in interest rates and credit risk relates to the Company’s risk of loss when the counterparty to a derivative contract fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Market and credit risks are managed and monitored as part of the Company’s overall asset-liability management process. The credit risk related to derivatives entered into with certain qualified borrowers is managed through the Company’s loan underwriting process. The Company’s loan underwriting process also approves the Bank’s swap counterparty used to mirror the borrowers’ swap. The Company has a bilateral agreement with each swap counterparty that provides that fluctuations in derivative values are to be fully collateralized with either cash or securities. The CVA is a fair value adjustment to the derivative to account for this risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the CVA resulted in an increase to non-interest income of $27,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the CVA resulted in a decrease to non-interest income of $13,000.

The Company has entered into a risk participation agreement with a counterparty bank to assume a portion of the credit risk related to borrower transactions. The credit risk related to this derivative is managed through the Company’s loan underwriting process.

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a cross-default provision under which if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company also has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations resulted in a net asset position.

The Company records interest rate derivatives subject to master netting agreements at their gross value and does not offset derivative asset and liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Note 18 – Share-Based Compensation

In June 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”).  The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based, equity-related or cash-based awards. A total of 1,550,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved and are available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan.

On July 6, 2017, in conjunction with the completion of the IPO, the Company granted 58,900 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain key employees, pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. The restricted shares will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. Subsequent to the grant date, 400 restricted shares were forfeited. A total of 11,898 restricted shares were also granted during 2017 in connection with the recruitment of employees. These restricted shares vest over a four year period. As of March 31, 2018, there were 1,479,602 shares available for future grants.

The following table discloses the changes in restricted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018:

Of this total, 24,345 restricted shares will vest ratably over four years on each anniversary of the grant date, 11,165 restricted shares will vest ratably over three years on each anniversary of the grant date, and 2,268 restricted shares will vest on the first anniversary of the grand date, all subject to continued employment.

(Table dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

In addition, 11,165 performance-based restricted shares were included in the April 2018 grant.  The number of shares which may be earned under the award is dependent upon the Company’s return on average assets over a three-year period ending December 31, 2020, measured in 2018 against the Company’s internal targets and for 2 019 and 2020 against a peer group consisting of publicly-traded bank holding companies ranging in asset size from 50% to 200% of the Company’s total assets.  Under the award, 25% of the shares will be earned at threshold performance, 100% will be earned at target and 50th percentile performance, and up to 125% of the shares with above target and 75th percentile performance.  Any earned shares will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

The Company maintained a nonqualified, share-based, stock option plan adopted prior to recapitalization (“MBG Plan”). There were no options granted or exercised under this plan during the year ended December 31, 2017. At the time of the Company’s reincorporation in Delaware, in June 2017, the Board of Directors cancelled the MBG Plan and all the respective outstanding options were cancelled.

In October 2014, the Company adopted the Byline Bancorp, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (“BYB Plan”). The maximum number of shares available for grants under this Plan was 2,476,122 shares. During 2016 and 2015, the Company granted options to purchase 212,400 and 1,634,568 shares, respectively, under this plan. The Company did not grant any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2018 or during the year ended December 31, 2017. In June 2017, the Board of Directors terminated the BYB Plan and no future grants can be made under this plan. Options to purchase a total of 1,696,270 shares remain outstanding under the BYB Plan at March 31, 2018.

The types of stock options granted under the BYB Plan were Time Options and Performance Options. The exercise price of each option is equal to the fair value of the stock as of the date of grant. These option awards have vesting periods ranging from 1 to 5 years and have 10-year contractual terms. Stock volatility was computed as the average of the volatilities of peer group companies.

The vesting of Time Options is conditional based on completion of service. Performance Options have conditional vesting based on either performance targets or market performance. Certain Performance Options’ performance goals will be satisfied (in whole or in part) if the Bank achieves various performance targets such as profitability, asset quality, and conditional based on market performance, as outlined in the BYB Plan. Each of the performance goals identified are measured for achievement (or failure to achieve) independent of each other. In October 2017, the Board of Directors determined that the Performance Option goals were satisfied, in whole, and these Performance Options converted to Time Options. As a result of the previous completion of service, 414,894 performance options vested on October 3, 2017.

The fair values of the stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model for Time Options and a Monte Carlo simulation model for Performance Options. The fair values of options under the BYB Plan were determined using the following assumptions as of the grant dates:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of Byline Bancorp, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The words “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Byline Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise.

Overview

Our business

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and conduct all our business activities through our subsidiary, Byline Bank, a full service commercial bank, and Byline Bank’s subsidiaries. Through Byline Bank, we offer a broad range of banking products and services to small and medium sized businesses, commercial real estate and financial sponsors and to consumers who generally live or work near our branches. In addition to our traditional commercial banking business, we provide small ticket equipment leasing solutions through Byline Financial Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Byline Bank, headquartered in Bannockburn, Illinois with sales offices in Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina and New York, and sales representatives in Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and Arizona. Following our acquisition of Ridgestone Financial Services, Inc. (“Ridgestone”) in October 2016, we also participate in U.S. government guaranteed lending programs and originate U.S. government guaranteed loans. Byline Bank was the fifth most active originator of SBA loans in the country and the most active SBA lender in Illinois and Wisconsin, as reported by the SBA for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, we had consolidated total assets of $3.5 billion, total gross loans and leases outstanding of $2.3 billion, total deposits of $2.5 billion, and total stockholders’ equity of $462.9 million.

Recapitalization

In 2013, our predecessor, Metropolitan Bank Group, Inc. (“Metropolitan”), experienced significant credit and financial losses resulting primarily from the collapse of real estate prices during the severe economic recession occurring during 2007 through 2009 in addition to a number of regulatory and other operational challenges. Despite deterioration in asset quality and financial performance, Metropolitan maintained a high quality deposit base, an attractive branch network and strong customer loyalty, which made it an ideal candidate for a turnaround.

An investment group raised $206.7 million in equity capital to recapitalize and gain control of Metropolitan through a series of transactions by which Metropolitan merged its multiple subsidiary banks into one, and an investor group acquired voting common stock and preferred stock of Metropolitan. The investors formed BXM Holdings, Inc. for the purpose of identifying an investment opportunity in a troubled U.S. banking institution. MBG Investors I, L.P. was the lead investor in the Recapitalization and Mr. del Valle Perochena, a member of our board of directors, is the general partner of MBG Investors I, L.P. and possesses the voting and investment power with respect to the securities beneficially owned by MBG Investors I, L.P. BXM Holdings, Inc. hired Roberto Herencia, the Chairman of our board of directors, and Alberto Paracchini, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, to identify an investment opportunity and later to effectuate the Recapitalization. Lindsay Corby, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, served as a Principal of BXM Holdings, Inc. at the time of the Recapitalization. BXM Holdings, Inc. no longer conducts any operations. At the time of the Recapitalization, Metropolitan owned five banking subsidiaries that operated under 12 different brand names in the Chicago metropolitan area.

We accounted for the Recapitalization as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Fair value amounts were determined in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). In many cases, the determination of the fair value required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature. The transaction qualified for federal income tax purposes as a recapitalization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code and resulted in carryover treatment of the existing tax bases and tax loss carryforwards, although the utilization of tax attributes (including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits) became subject to limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code.

46


Small Ticket Leasing Acquisition

On October 10, 2014, Byline Bank acquired certain assets and liabilities related to the small ticket leasing operation of Baytree National Bank and Trust Company and Baytree Leasing Company LLC (collectively, “Baytree”). The purchase was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and resulted in lease financing receivables of $42.0 million and goodwill of $4.5 million. There are no contingent assets or liabilities remaining from the acquisition.

In a separate but related transaction, on September 3, 2014, Byline Bank purchased approximately $55.7 million of direct finance leases that Baytree had sold to a third party. We have grown our leasing portfolio to $181.5 million as of March 31, 2018.

Ridgestone Acquisition

On October 14, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Ridgestone Financial Services, Inc., under the terms of a definitive merger agreement (the “Ridgestone Agreement”). As of the acquisition date, Ridgestone had $447.4 million in assets, including $347.3 million of loans, $14.7 million of loans held for sale, $27.2 million of securities, $21.5 million of servicing assets and total deposits of $358.7 million. Ridgestone’s loan portfolio was primarily comprised of the retained unguaranteed portion of U.S. government guaranteed loans as a participant in the SBA and USDA lending programs.

As a result of the acquisition, each share of Ridgestone common stock was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the stockholder and subject to proration under the terms of the Ridgestone Agreement, either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of both. Total consideration included aggregate cash consideration in the amount of $36.8 million and the issuance of 4,199,791 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $16.25 per common share. There were no contingent assets or liabilities arising from the acquisition.

As a result of the Ridgestone acquisition, we:

Grew consolidated total assets from $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion as of October 14, 2016, after giving effect to acquisition accounting adjustments;

Increased total loans from $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion as of October 14, 2016;

Increased total deposits from $2.2 billion to $2.6 billion as of October 14, 2016;

Expanded our employee base from 684 full time equivalent employees to 834 full time equivalent employees as of October 14, 2016; and

Expanded our footprint through the addition of two full-service banking offices in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and Schaumburg, Illinois. In addition, Ridgestone had loan production offices located in Wisconsin (Green Bay and Wausau), Indiana (Indianapolis) and California (Newport Beach) where we continue to operate.

We determined that the Ridgestone acquisition constituted a business combination as defined by ASC 805. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair value amount on the date of acquisition. Fair value was determined in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 820. The fair values may be adjusted through the end of the measurement period, which closes at the earlier of the Company receiving all necessary information to complete the acquisition or one year from the date of acquisition. The fair value adjustments associated with this transaction were finalized during the fourth quarter of 2017. The transaction qualified for federal income tax purposes as a recapitalization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code and resulted in carryover treatment of the existing tax bases and tax loss carryforwards, although the utilization of tax attributes (including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits) became subject to limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code.

First Evanston Acquisition

On November 27, 2017, the Company and First Evanston Bancorp, Inc. (“First Evanston”) entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which the Company will acquire First Evanston through the merger of First Evanston with and into the Company, followed immediately by the merger of First Evanston’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, First Bank & Trust, with and into Byline Bank. First Bank & Trust is a commercial bank that operates 11 banking offices in the Chicago area. As of December 31, 2017, First Evanston had approximately $1.2 billion in total assets, $903.3 million in gross loans, and $1.0 billion in total deposits. The consideration to be paid by the Company will consist of $27.0

47


million in cash with the remainder in Company stock (curre ntly estimated at 6.7 million shares of common stock). We have received all required approvals and the merger is expected to close by the end of May 2018.

Strategic Branch Consolidation

We continually perform strategic reviews of our existing core banking footprint. With technology improvements and changes to customers’ banking preferences, we examine branch growth potential, customer usage, branch profitability, services provided, markets served and proximity to other locations with a goal of minimizing customer impact and deposit runoff. Since the Recapitalization, our branch network has been reduced from 88 to 56. In April 2018, we announced we have identified six branches and two other facilities within our current network that we believe can be consolidated with minimal impact on our customer service levels, convenience, and business development capabilities. We anticipate these consolidations to occur during June 2018. We will continue to strategically evaluate our locations based on our growth and profitability standards.

We plan to continue to leverage our seasoned management team, the attractive market opportunity in the Chicago metropolitan area, our diversified lending approach and our track record of successfully integrating acquisitions to drive future growth. We believe that having a deep understanding of customers, longstanding ties to the communities in which we operate, a strong market position and exceptional employees allows us to provide the attention, responsiveness and customized service our clients seek while offering a diverse range of products to serve a variety of needs.

Our Initial Public Offering

On June 29, 2017, we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) whereby we sold 4,630,194 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $19.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to us of $76.8 million after deducting offering related commissions and expenses. In addition, certain selling stockholders participated in the offering and sold an aggregate of 1,924,806 shares of our common stock at the same price per share. Our common stock is currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BY.” We believe that the capital raised through our IPO will allow us to continue to grow our franchise and increase our market share among small businesses and middle-market companies in the markets we serve.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the industry in which we operate. To prepare financial statements and interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates, assumptions and judgments based on available information. These estimates, assumptions and judgments affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgements are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions and judgments reflected in the financial statements. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the estimates, assumptions and judgements inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements.

These critical accounting policies and estimates include (i) acquisition‑related fair value computations, (ii) the carrying value of loans and leases, (iii) determining the provision and allowance for loan and lease losses, (iv) the valuation of intangible assets such as goodwill, servicing assets and core deposit intangibles, (v) the determination of fair value for financial instruments, including other-than-temporary-impairment losses, (vi) the valuation of real estate held for sale and (vii) the valuation of or recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, which means that the financial statements included in this report, as well as any financial statements that we file in the future, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as we remain an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act.

The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that require us to make complex and subjective judgments. Additional information about these policies can be found in Note 1 of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2018.

Business Combina tions

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. We recognize the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition, with any excess of the fair value of consideration provided over the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Application of the acquisition method requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgements to determine the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

In accordance with ASC 805, the acquiring company retains the right to make appropriate adjustments to the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity for information obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as of the earlier of (i) one year from the acquisition date or (ii) the date when the acquirer receives the information necessary to complete the business combination accounting.

Carrying Value of Loans and Leases

Our accounting methods for loans and leases differ depending on whether they are new or acquired loans and leases; and for acquired loans, whether the loans were acquired at a discount as a result of credit deterioration since the date of origination.

Originated Loans and Leases

We account for originated loans and leases and purchased loans and leases not acquired through business combinations as originated loans and leases. The new loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any allowance for loan and lease losses, unamortized deferred fees and costs and unamortized premiums or discounts. The net amount of nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct costs associated with the lending process are deferred and amortized to interest income over the contractual lives of the new loans using methods which approximate the level yield method. Discounts and premiums are amortized or accreted to interest income over the estimated term of the new loans using methods that approximate the effective yield method. Interest income on new loans is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance outstanding.

Acquired Loans and Leases

Acquired loans and leases are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value; therefore, an allowance for loan and lease losses is not recorded at the acquisition date. Acquired loans are evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either acquired impaired or acquired non‑impaired. Acquired impaired loans reflect evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required principal and interest will not be collected by us. Subsequent to acquisition, we periodically update for changes in cash flow expectations, which is reflected in interest income over the life of the loan as accretable yield. Any subsequent decreases in expected cash flow attributable to credit deterioration are recognized by recording a provision for loan losses.

For acquired non‑impaired loans and leases, the excess or deficit of the loan and lease principal balance over the fair value is recorded as a discount or premium at acquisition and is accreted through interest income over the life of the loan or lease. Subsequent to acquisition, these loans and leases are evaluated for credit deterioration and a provision for loan and lease losses would be recorded when probable loss is incurred. These loans and leases are evaluated for impairment consistent with originated loans and leases.

Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses reflects the amount required to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of general and specific loss reserves.

The ALLL is maintained at a level that management believes is appropriate to provide for known and inherent incurred loan and lease losses as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and we have established methodologies for the determination of its adequacy. The methodologies are set forth in a formal policy and take into consideration the need for an overall general valuation allowance as well as specific allowances that are determined on an individual loan basis. We increase our ALLL by charging provisions for probable losses against our income and decreased by charge‑offs, net of recoveries.

49


The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and leases, changes in economic or other conditions may necessitate revision of the estimate in future periods.

The ALLL is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for probable losses based upon an ongoing review of the originated and acquired non‑impaired loan and lease portfolios by portfolio category, which include consideration of actual loss experience, peer loss experience, changes in the size and risk profile of the portfolio, identification of individual problem loan and lease situations which may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and evaluation of prevailing economic conditions.

For acquired impaired loans, a specific valuation allowance is established when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all of the cash flows expected at acquisition, plus the additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition.

The originated and non‑impaired acquired loans have limited delinquency and credit loss history and have not yet exhibited an observable loss trend. The credit quality of loans in these loan portfolios are impacted by delinquency status and debt service coverage generated by the borrowers’ businesses and fluctuations in the value of real estate collateral.

Acquired non‑impaired loans and originated loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. All acquired non‑impaired loans and originated loans of $100,000 or greater with an internal risk rating of substandard or below and on nonaccrual, as well as loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), are reviewed individually for impairment on a quarterly basis.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired in connection with the Recapitalization and acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but is periodically evaluated for impairment under the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”).

Impairment testing is performed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach at the reporting unit level. Our goodwill is allocated to Byline Bank, which is our only applicable reporting unit for the purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. We have selected November 30 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment test. Additionally, we perform a goodwill impairment evaluation on an interim basis when events or circumstances indicate impairment potentially exists.

Servicing Assets

Servicing assets are recognized separately when they are acquired through sales of loans or when the rights to service loans are purchased. When loans are sold, servicing assets are recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Fair value is based on market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The fair value of servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions. Changes in the prepayment speed and discount rate assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of servicing rights. See Note 7 and Note 16 of our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2018, included in this report, for additional information.

Core Deposit Intangible

Other intangible assets primarily consist of core deposit intangible assets. In valuing core deposit intangibles, we consider variables such as deposit servicing costs, attrition rates and market discount rates. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the recoverable amount of the core deposit intangibles is determined to be less than its carrying value, we would then measure the amount of impairment based on an estimate of the fair value at that time. We also evaluate whether the events or circumstances have occurred that warrant a revision to the remaining useful lives of intangible assets. In cases where a revision is deemed appropriate, the remaining carrying amounts of the intangible assets are amortized over the revised remaining useful life. Core deposit intangibles are currently amortized over a ten year period.

50


Fair value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market parameters, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and parameters are not available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, we would use valuation techniques requiring more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement.

See Note 18 of Byline’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, included in our Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of our use of fair value of financial assets and liabilities and their related measurement practices.

Valuation of Real Estate Held for Sale

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

OREO includes real estate assets that have been acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure or repossession and are to be sold. OREO assets are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the collateral of the loan, on the date of foreclosure or repossession, establishing a new cost basis. Adjustments that reduce loan balances to fair value at the time of foreclosure or repossession are recognized as charge‑offs in the allowance for loan and lease losses. Positive adjustments, if any, at the time of foreclosure or repossession are recognized in non‑interest expense. After foreclosure or repossession, management periodically obtains new valuations and real estate or other assets may be adjusted to a lower carrying amount, determined by the fair value of the asset, less estimated costs to sell. Any subsequent write‑downs are recorded as a decrease in the asset and charged against other real estate owned valuation adjustments. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, are included in non‑interest expense, and gains and losses on their disposition are included in non‑interest expense. Gains on internally financed other real estate owned sales are accounted for in accordance with the methods stated in ASC Topic 360‑20, Real Estate Sales (“ASC 360‑20”). Any losses on the sales of other real estate owned properties are recognized immediately.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale consist of former branch locations and real estate purchased for expansion. Assets are considered held for sale when management has approved a plan to sell the assets following a branch closure or other events. The properties are being actively marketed and transferred to assets held for sale based at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Adjustments to reduce the asset balances to fair value are recorded at the time of transfer and are recognized through a charge against income. An assessment of the recoverability of other long-lived assets associated with all branches is periodically performed, resulting in impairment losses which are reflected in non-interest expense.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of our assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and available tax planning opportunities. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties.

Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss carryforwards. We review our deferred tax positions quarterly for changes which may impact realizability. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. We use short and long‑range business forecasts to provide additional information for its

51


eva luation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as components of non ‑interest expense.

A deferred tax valuation allowance is established to reduce the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than not that all or some of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. See Note 11 of our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for further information on income taxes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 of our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2018, included in this report, for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the effective dates of adoption and anticipated effects on our results of operations and financial condition.

Primary Factors Used to Evaluate Our Business

As a financial institution, we manage and evaluate various aspects of both our results of operations and our financial condition. We evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our consolidated balance sheet and income statement as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against our own historical performance, our budgeted performance and the final condition and performance of comparable financial institutions in our region. Comparison of our financial performance against other financial institutions is impacted by the accounting for acquired non‑impaired and acquired impaired loans.

These factors and metrics described in this prospectus may not provide an appropriate basis to compare our results or financial condition to the results or financial condition of other financial services companies, given our limited operating history and strategic acquisitions since the Recapitalization.

Results of Operations

Overview

Our results of operations depend substantially on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of interest income on loans and lease receivables, including accretion income on loans and leases, investment securities and other short-term investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also dependent upon our generation of non-interest income, consisting primarily of income from fees and service charges on deposits, servicing fees, ATM and interchange fees, and net gains on sales of investment securities and loans. Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provisions for loan and lease losses, provision for income taxes, and non-interest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and other miscellaneous operating costs.

Our first quarter 2018 results reflect solid growth in net interest income and an expanding net interest margin, offset by higher credit costs primarily related to a single commercial relationship. Net interest margin improved to 4.45% for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 4.00% for the first quarter of 2017. Our total revenues increased by approximately 7.8% compared to the first quarter of 2017, driven primarily by increased loan and lease yields.

We reported consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $6.8 million compared to net income of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $208,000. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $4.2 million increase in net interest income and a $3.2 million decrease in provision for income taxes, offset by a $3.1 million increase in non-interest expense, a $3.2 million increase in provision for loan and lease losses, and an $879,000 decrease in non-interest income. The increase in net interest margin during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily driven by increased loan and lease yields during the quarter, and the decrease in provision for income taxes was primarily driven by a decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate as a result of federal tax reform. The increase in provision for loan and lease losses was mainly due to an increase in a specific reserve on a commercial loan relationship, slight credit deterioration in the government guaranteed acquired non-credit impaired portfolio, and an increase to the general reserve driven by new loan originations. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.7 million as a result of merit increases, organizational growth, higher payroll taxes, and increased employer costs related to benefits, as well as an increase in loan and lease related expenses of $523,000 associated with loan originations during the quarter.

Net income available to common stockholders was $6.6 million or $0.22 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $6.4 million or $0.26 per basic common share and $0.25 per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Dividends on preferred shares were $193,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Our annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 0.82% compared to 0.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our annualized return on stockholders’ equity was 5.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 6.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, representing interest income less interest expense, is a significant contributor to our revenues and earnings. We generate interest income from interest and dividends on interest-earning assets, which include loans, leases and investment securities we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which include interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances, junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor (i) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, (iii) our net interest spread, and (iv) our net interest margin. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Because non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as non-interest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these non-interest-bearing sources.

We also recognize income from the accretable discounts associated with the purchase of interest-earning assets. Because of the Recapitalization and the acquisition of Ridgestone, we derive a portion of our interest income from the accretable discounts on acquired loans. The accretion is recognized over the life of the loan and is impacted by changes in expected cash flows on the loan. This accretion will continue to have an impact on our net interest income as long as loans acquired with evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition represent a meaningful portion of our interest-earning assets. As of March 31, 2018, acquired loans with evidence of credit deterioration accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Accounting for Purchased Loans with Deteriorated Credit Quality , represented 13.7% of our total loan portfolio.

Changes in the market interest rates and interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. In addition, our interest income includes the accretion of the discounts on our acquired loans, which will also affect our net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income.

Incr eases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table sets forth the effec ts of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis. The table below is a summary of increase s and decreases in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in average balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates (dollars in thousands):

Includes loans and leases on non-accrual status.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $33.7 million compared to $29.5 million during the same period in 2017, an increase of $4.2 million, or 14.1%. The increase in interest income of $5.7 million was primarily a result of an increase in average yield and volume on loans and leases as well as an increase in average yield on securities available-for-sale. Interest expense increased by $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to additional FHLB advances and an increase in the average costs of time deposits.

The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 4.45%, an increase of 45 basis points compared to 4.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The primary driver of the increase for the three month period was due to an increase in average loan and lease yields and an increase in loan accretion income. Net loan accretion income was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Total net loan accretion on acquired loans contributed 31 basis points to the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 23 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan and lease losses that, in management’s evaluation, is appropriate to provide coverage for probable losses incurred in the loan and

56


lease po rtfolio. The allowance for loan and lease losses is increased by the provision for loan and lease losses and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior charge-offs.

Provisions for loan and lease losses totaled $5.1 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $3.2 million. This increase was mainly due to an increase in a specific reserve on a commercial loan relationship, slight credit deterioration in the government guaranteed acquired non-credit impaired portfolio, and an increase to the general reserve driven by growth in the commercial loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increases were offset by a slight decrease in the provision allocation to the lease portfolio.

The ALLL as a percentage of loans and leases, net of acquisition accounting adjustments, increased from 0.73% at December 31, 2017, to 0.77% at March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due a change in loan and lease composition as the originated portfolio increased by $45.4 million to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2018, while the acquired portfolio decreased by $42.4 million for the same period.

Non-Interest Income

We reported non-interest income of $11.4 million and $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease of $880,000 was primarily due to a decrease in gains on sales of government guaranteed loans through our Small Business Capital operations of $606,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The gains on sale of loans were $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This was partially offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $127,000 primarily due to a gain on sale of an asset held for sale during the first quarter of 2018.

Service charges and fees represent fees charged to customers for banking services, such as fees on deposit accounts, and include, but are not limited to, maintenance fees, insufficient fund fees, overdraft protection fees, wire transfer fees and other fees. Fees and service charges on deposits increased $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily driven by a decrease in manually waived fees.

While portions of the loans that we originate are sold and generate gain on sale revenue, servicing rights for the majority of loans that we sell are retained by Byline Bank. In exchange for continuing to service loans that have been sold, Byline Bank receives a servicing fee paid from a portion of the interest cash flow of the loan. Small Business Capital generated $563,000 in servicing fees on the sold portion of the government guaranteed portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $919,000 in servicing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease of $356,000 is primarily driven by a decrease in the average servicing asset.

ATM and interchange fee income decreased by $130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily driven by a revision to our assessment schedule.

We had no securities sales during the first quarter of 2018 and minimal securities sales during the first quarter of 2017.  As a result, gains on sales of securities were $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Net gains on sales of loans decreased by $606,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily driven by a lower average premium.

57


Other non-interest income was $859,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which is an increase of 17.4% compared to $732,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The primary driver of the increase was an $189,000 gain on sale of an asset held for sale during the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by a decrease in customer swap fee incom e .

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $31.9 million compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $3.1 million or 10.6%.

Salaries and employee benefits, the single largest component of our non-interest expense, totaled $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $1.7 million or 10.1%. This increase is primarily due to merit increases, organizational growth, and increased employer costs related to benefits . Our staffing increased from 844 full-time equivalent employees as of March 31, 2017 to 853 as of March 31, 2018.

Occupancy expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $3.8 million compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $16,000 or 0.4%. The increase in occupancy expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily a result of an increase in building maintenance expense offset by a decrease in real estate taxes.

Equipment expense for three months ended March 31, 2018 was $603,000 compared to $563,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $40,000 or 7.1%. The increase was primarily due to increased depreciation expense related to increased investment in equipment and technology assets.

Loan and lease related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $1.4 million compared to $877,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $523,000 or 59.7%. The increase was associated with loan originations during the quarter, partially offset by lower collection expenses for problem loans.

Legal, audit and other professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $1.9 million compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $180,000 or 10.7%. The increase was primarily driven by increased legal and professional fees of $123,000 related to our acquisition related activity.

Data processing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.3 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $108,000, or 4.5%. The decrease was primarily due to our continued branch optimization strategy.

58


Net gain recognized on other real estate owned and other related expenses were $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $570,000 for three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $ 569,000 or 99.8%. The decrease was primarily due to a decreased volume of sales of other real estate owned properties.

Regulatory assessments for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $241,000 compared to $184,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $57,000 or 31.2%. The increase was primarily due to our increased asset size, offset by our improved risk profile as a result of improved financial ratios and performance.

Advertising and promotions for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $249,000 compared to $289,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $40,000 or 13.9%, primarily due to a decrease in advertising and promotions attributable to our Small Business Capital operations.

Telecommunications expense was $418,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Other non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.1 million compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $157,000 or 8.3%. The increase includes an increase of $63,000 in provision for unfunded commitments due to growth in our unfunded loan commitments.

Our efficiency ratio was 69.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 67.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the “H.R. 1”, commonly known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“Tax Act”), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among other items, the law reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result of the new 21% corporate federal tax rate, the Company expects its effective tax rate for 2018 to be between approximately 27% and 29%.

Also on December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the Tax Act’s impact. SAB 118 provides a measurement period, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment during which a company, acting in good faith, may complete the accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act. At March 31, 2018, the Company’s accounting for the impact of the Tax Act on its net deferred tax assets is based upon reasonable estimates of the tax effects of the Tax Act; however, these estimates may change as additional information and interpretive guidance regarding the provisions of the Tax Act become available. As a result of the rate change, the Company’s net deferred tax assets were required to be revalued, and we recorded net income tax benefit of $724,000 during the first quarter of 2018.

Financial Condition

Balance Sheet Analysis

Our total assets increased by $96.2 million, or 2.9%, to $3.5 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in total assets includes an increase of $2.9 million, or 0.1%, in loans and leases, an increase in investment securities of $37.9 million, and an increase in interest bearing deposits with other banks of $71.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in due from counterparty, which decreased $19.8 million.

Investment Portfolio

The investment securities portfolio consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. There were no trading securities in our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. All available-for sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management consider it to be in our best interest. Securities available-for-sale consist primarily of residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage- backed securities and U.S. government agencies securities.

59


Securities available-for-sale increased $42.8 million, from $583.2 million at December 31, 2017 to $626.1 million at March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to additional purchases of agency, mortgage-backed, and U.S. Treasury securities during the quarter.

Our held-to-maturity securities portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities and obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions. We carry these securities at amortized cost, and at March 31, 2018 totaled $112.3 million compared to $117.2 million at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 4.2%, primarily due to principal paydowns received during the quarter.

We had no securities that were classified as having other-than-temporary-impairment at March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Company did not classify securities as trading during three months ended March 31, 2018  or during 2017.

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At March 31, 2018, we evaluated the securities which had an unrealized loss for other than temporary impairment and determined all declines in value to be temporary. There were 171 investment securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2018. We anticipate full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by maturity, or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The weighted average yields are based on amortized cost.

Total non-taxable securities classified as obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions were $26.3 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $8.5 million from December 31, 2017.

There were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, with total outstanding balances greater than 10% of our stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Restricted Stock

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, our bank is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB. No market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value. The stock is redeemable at par by the FHLB and is, therefore, carried at cost. In addition, our bank owns stock of Bankers’ Bank that was acquired as part of the Ridgestone acquisition. The stock is redeemable at par and carried at cost. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we held approximately $17.2 million and $16.3 million, respectively, in FHLB and Bankers’ Bank stocks. We evaluate impairment of our investment in FHLB and Bankers’ Bank based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. We did not identify any indicators of impairment of FHLB and Bankers’ Bank stock as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Loan and Lease Portfolio

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is the main driver of the results of our operations. Total loans and leases at March 31, 2018 were $2.3 billion, an increase of $2.9 million compared to December 31, 2017.  Our originated loan and lease portfolio increased $45.4 million, offset by a decrease in the acquired loan and lease portfolio of $42.4 million, during the first three months of 2018. The growth in the originated loan and lease portfolio was primarily driven by increases in commercial and industrial loans and leases, partially offset by decreases in commercial real estate loans.

We strive to maintain a relatively diversified loan portfolio to help reduce the risk inherent in concentration in certain types of collateral.

At March 31, 2018, 47.2% of the loan and lease portfolio bears interest at fixed rates and 52.8% at floating rates. The expected life of our loan portfolio will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to curtail

64


or prepay their loans with or without penalties. Because a portion of the portfolio is accounted for under ASC 310-30, the carrying value is significantly affected by estimates and it is impracticable to allocate scheduled payments for those loans based on those estimates. Consequently, the tables presented include information limited to contractual maturities of the underlying loans.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The ALLL is determined by us on a quarterly basis, although we are engaged in monitoring the appropriate level of the allowance on a more frequent basis. The ALLL reflects management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolios. The computation includes element of judgement and high levels of subjectivity.

Factors considered by us include, but are not limited to, actual loss experience, peer loss experience, changes in size and risk profile of the portfolio, identification of individual problem loan and lease situations which may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and evaluation of the prevailing economic conditions. Changes in conditions may necessitate revision of the estimate in future periods.

We assess the ALLL based on three categories: (i) originated loans and leases, (ii) acquired non-impaired loans and leases, and (iii) acquired impaired loans with further credit deterioration after the acquisition or recapitalization.

Total ALLL was $17.6 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $934,000, or 5.6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in specific reserve on a commercial loan relationship, slight credit deterioration in the government guaranteed acquired non-credit impaired portfolio, and an increase to the general reserve driven by new loan originations.

Total ALLL was 0.77% and 0.73% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This ratio is generally below the median of our peer banks, as we valued significant amounts of acquired loans at fair value at acquisition date as a result of the Recapitalization and the Ridgestone acquisition, which, management believes, limits the amount of reserves needed to cover these loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Acquisition accounting adjustments remaining on loans from the Recapitalization and the Ridgestone acquisition totaled $28.1 million and $31.7 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing loans and leases include loans and leases 90 days past due and still accruing, loans and leases accounted for on a non-accrual basis and accruing restructured loans. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and leases plus other real estate owned. Non-accrual loans and leases as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 totaled $23.6 million and $15.8 million, respectively. The increase of non-performing assets from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 was primarily driven by one downgraded commercial loan relationship and one downgraded government guaranteed loan, partially offset by a decrease in other real estate owned of $160,000.

Total OREO held by us was $10.5 million as of March 31, 2018, a decrease of $160,000 million from December 31, 2017. The decrease in OREO resulted from dispositions of $1.3 million, offset by additions to OREO through loan foreclosures totaling $1.1 million.

(2)

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, $495,000 in interest income would have been recorded had non-accrual loans been current.

(3)

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, $80,000 in interest income would have been recorded had troubled debt restructurings included within non-accrual loans been current.

Acquired impaired loans (accounted for under ASC 310-30) that are delinquent and/or on non-accrual status continue to accrue income provided the respective pool in which those assets reside maintains a discount and recognizes accretion income. The aforementioned loans are characterized as performing loans based on contractual delinquency. If the pool no longer has a discount and accretion income can no longer be recognized, any loan within that pool on non-accrual status will be classified as non-accrual for presentation purposes.

Total non-accrual loans increased by $7.9 million between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 due to additional non-accrual loans primarily driven by one commercial loan relationship and one government guaranteed loan. The government guaranteed portion of non-accrual loans totaled $6.3 million at March 31, 2018 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2017.

68


Total accruing loans past due increased from $15.2 million at December 31, 2017 to $22.8 million at March 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $7.6 million, or 50.1%, and can be attributed to additional loans becoming delinquent during the quarter. The increase was primarily in the 30-59 days past due category.

Deposits

Total deposits at March 31, 2018 were $2.5 billion, representing an increase of $81.2 million, or 3.4%, compared to December 31, 2017. Non-interest bearing deposits were $749.9 million or 29.7% of total deposits, at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $11.0 million or 1.4% compared to $760.9 million at December 31, 2017 or 29.7% of total deposits. Interest bearing transaction accounts increased $44.7 million for the first quarter of 2018. Time deposits increased $47.5 million, or 6.7%, from $708.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $756.3 million at March 31, 2018. Core deposits remained stable at 85.3% of total deposits at March 31, 2018.

The increase in time deposits was primarily driven by the implementation of promotional campaigns during the first quarter of 2018. Our cost of average deposits was 41 basis points during the first quarter of 2018 compared to 35 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2017. These increases are primarily attributed to slightly higher rates on interest bearing deposits, growth in average time deposits, and a decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits. We had no brokered time deposits as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

69


We gather deposits primarily through each of our 55 branc h locations in the Chicago metropolitan area and one branch in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Through our branch network, online, mobile and direct banking channels, we offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposit accounts, interest-bearing product s, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. We offer competitive online, mobile and direct banking channels. Small businesses are a significant source of low cost deposits as they value convenience, flexibility and access to local decision makers tha t are responsive to their needs.

Borrowed Funds

In addition to deposits, we also utilize FHLB advances as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations. The Bank’s advances from the FHLB are collateralized by residential, multi-family real estate loans and securities. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our bank had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $797.5 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, subject to the availability of collateral. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, outstanding FHLB advances increased to $380.0 million, from $361.5 million at December 31, 2017.

The Bank’s FHLB advances at March 31, 2018 have maturities ranging from April 2018 to May 2018.

Customer Repurchase Agreements (Sweeps)

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent a demand deposit product offered to customers that sweep balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit into overnight repurchase agreements. We pledge securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $27.8 million at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to December 31, 2017.

Liquidity

We manage liquidity based upon factors that include the amount of core deposits as a percentage of total deposits, the level of diversification of our funding sources, the amount of non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources, off-balance sheet obligations, the availability of assets to be readily converted into cash without undue loss, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold and the re-pricing characteristics and maturities of our assets when compared to the re-pricing characteristics of our liabilities, the ability to securitize and sell certain pools of assets and other factors.

Our liquidity needs are primarily met by cash and investment securities positions, growth in deposits, cash flow from amortizing loan portfolios, and borrowings from the FHLB. For additional information regarding our operating, investing, and financing cash flows, see “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” in our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

As of March 31, 2018, we held $128.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. We maintain an investment securities portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. We had securities available-for-sale of $626.1 million and securities held-to-maturity of $112.3 million as of March 31, 2018, including total unpledged securities of $387.8 million.

As of March 31, 2018, Byline Bank had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $797.5 million and from the Federal Reserve Bank of $156.1 million. As of March 31, 2018, Byline Bank had open advances of $380.0 million and open letters of credit of $300,000, leaving us with available aggregate borrowing capacity of $797.5 million. In addition, Byline Bank had uncommitted federal funds lines available of $55.0 million.

As of December 31, 2017, Byline Bank had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $1.2 billion and from the Federal Reserve Bank of $144.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, Byline Bank had open advances of $361.5 million and no

71


open letters of credit, leaving us with available FHLB and FRB borrowing capacity of $637.2 million. In addition, Byline Bank had an uncommitted federal funds line available of $55.0 million.

On October 13, 2016, we entered into a $30.0 million revolving credit agreement with a correspondent bank. As of December 31, 2017, this revolving line of credit had no outstanding balance. In April 2017, the revolving line of credit was amended to a non-revolving line of credit as long as the outstanding balance exceeds $5.0 million. When the outstanding balance is reduced to $5.0 million, the line of credit will be converted to a revolving line of credit with credit availability up to $5.0 million until maturity. In July 2017, we repaid the outstanding balance, in full, under this line of credit of $16.2 million with proceeds from our initial public offering. On October 12, 2017, the line of credit was amended to extend the maturity date to October 11, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had no balance outstanding on the line of credit.

There are regulatory limitations that affect the ability of Byline Bank to pay dividends to the Company. See Note 21 of Byline’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, included in our Form 10-K for additional information. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2018 was $462.9 million compared to $458.6 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $4.4 million, or 1.0%. The increase was primarily driven by the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options of $86.8 million as well as retained earnings, offset by the other comprehensive loss.

The Company and Byline Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by federal banking regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements.

Under applicable bank regulatory capital requirements, each of the Company and Byline Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Byline Bank must also meet certain specific capital guidelines under the prompt corrective action framework. The capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by the federal banking regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Byline Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of CET1 Capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets, (referred to as the “leverage ratio”), as defined under these capital requirements.

As of March 31, 2018, Byline Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well-capitalized”. There have been no conditions or events since March 31, 2018 that management believes have changed Byline Bank’s classifications.

The Company and Byline Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of CET1 capital greater than 2 .5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum risk-based capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. The capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in on January 1, 2016 when a buffer greater than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets was required, which amount increases each year until the buffer requirement is fully implemented on January 1, 2019. As of January 1, 2018 the capital conservation buffer requirement was 1.875%.  The conservation buffers for the Company and Byline Bank exceed the fully phased in minimum capital requirement as of March 31, 2018.

Provisions of state and federal banking regulations may limit, by statute, the amount of dividends that may be paid to the Company by Byline Bank without prior approval of Byline Bank’s regulatory agencies. The Company is economically dependent on the cash dividends received from Byline Bank. These dividends represent the primary cash flow from operating activities used to service obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company received $600,000 in cash dividends from Byline Bank for the trust preferred securities interest and preferred dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received $2.8 million in cash dividends from Byline Bank to pay interest on the line of credit, interest payments on its trust preferred securities, and dividends on its preferred stock.

Contractual Obligations

FHLB advances are fully described in Note 12 of our Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this report. Operating lease obligations are in place for facilities and land on which banking facilities are located. See Note 15 of our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Off-Balance Sheet Items and Other Financing Arrangements

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by Byline Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral is primarily obtained in the form of commercial and residential real estate (including income producing commercial properties).

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Byline Bank to guarantee to a third-party the performance of a customer. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 1.00% to 19.50% and maturities up to 2024. Variable rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 2.45% to 11.75% and maturities up to 2040.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for funded instruments. We do not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and standby letters of credit.

Duri ng the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, we entered into interest rate swaps that are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. We also entered into interest rate swaps with certain qualified borrowers to facilitate the borrowers’ risk management strategies and concurrently entered into mirror-image derivatives with a third party counterparty.

We recognize derivative financial instruments at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. We record derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Because the derivative assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at March 31, 2018 do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these assets and liabilities are listed in the table below (dollars in thousands):

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures included in our “Selected Financial Data” are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses the non‑GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of our performance:

“Adjusted net income” excludes certain significant items, which include dividends on preferred shares, the net deferred tax asset valuation reversal, incremental income tax benefit related to the increase in the Illinois corporate income tax rate, incremental income tax expense or benefit related to the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, impairment charges on assets held for sale, and merger related expense, adjusted for applicable income tax. Management believes the significant items listed are not indicative of or useful to measure our operating performance on an ongoing basis.

“Pre‑tax pre‑provision income” is pre‑tax income plus the provision for loan and lease losses. Management believes this metric is important due to the tax benefit resulting from the reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, the increase in the Illinois state corporate income tax rate, and the increase in the provision for loan and lease losses.

“Pre‑tax pre‑provision return on average assets” is pre‑tax pre‑provision income, divided by average assets. Management believes this metric is important due to the tax benefit resulting from the reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, and the increase in the Illinois state corporate income tax rate. The ratio demonstrates the profitability excluding the tax benefit and excludes the provision for loan and lease losses.

“Tangible common equity” is defined as total stockholders’ equity reduced by preferred stock and goodwill and other intangible assets. Management does not consider servicing assets as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation.

“Tangible assets” is defined as total assets reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Management does not consider servicing assets as an intangible asset for purposes of this calculation.

“Tangible book value per share” is tangible common equity divided by total shares of common stock outstanding. It is the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to basic and diluted outstanding shares. This metric is important due to the relative changes in the book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

“Tangible common equity to tangible assets” is calculated as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. This measure is important to investors interested in relative changes in the ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

“Net interest margin excluding loan accretion” is calculated as reported net interest margin less the effect of accretion income net of contractual interest collected on acquired loans. This metric is important as it illustrates the impact of net accretion income from acquired loans on the net interest margin.

We believe that these non‑GAAP financial measures provide useful information to its management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that our non‑GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP financial measures that we and other companies use. Management also uses these measures for peer comparison.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, estimates, calculations, forecasts and projections with respect to the anticipated future performance of the Company and our business. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘might’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘predict’’, ‘‘potential’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘continue’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘seek’’, ‘‘estimate’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘projection’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘annualized’’, “target” and ‘‘outlook’’, or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. Forward-looking statements represent management’s current beliefs and expectations regarding future events, such as our anticipated future financial results, credit quality, liquidity, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, and the impact of business plans and strategies or legislative or regulatory actions.

78


Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of future plans, strategies or events is inherently uncertain. Factors which could cause actual results or conditions to differ materially from those ref lected in forward-looking statements include:

uncertainty regarding geopolitical developments and the United States and global economic outlook that may continue to impact market conditions or affect demand for certain banking products and services;

unforeseen credit quality problems or changing economic conditions that could result in charge-offs greater than we have anticipated in our allowance for loan and lease losses or changes in the value of our investments;

commercial real estate market conditions in the Chicago metropolitan area and southern Wisconsin;

deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers resulting in significant increases in our loan and lease losses and provisions for those losses and other related adverse impacts to our results of operations and financial condition;

estimates of fair value of certain of our assets and liabilities, which could change in value significantly from period to period;

competitive pressures in the financial services industry relating to both pricing and loan structures, which may impact our growth rate;

unanticipated developments in pending or prospective loan and/or lease transactions or greater-than-expected pay downs or payoffs of existing loans and leases;

inaccurate assumptions in our analytical and forecasting models used to manage our loan and lease portfolio;

unanticipated changes in monetary policies of the Federal Reserve or significant adjustments in the pace of, or market expectations for, future interest rate changes;

availability of sufficient and cost-effective sources of liquidity or funding as and when needed;

our ability to retain or the loss of key personnel or an inability to recruit appropriate talent cost-effectively;

adverse effects on our information technology systems resulting from failures, human error or cyberattack, including the potential impact of disruptions or security breaches at our third-party service providers, any of which could result in an information or security breach, the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, significant legal and financial losses and reputational harm;

greater-than-anticipated costs to support the growth of our business, including investments in technology, process improvements or other infrastructure enhancements, or greater-than-anticipated compliance or regulatory costs and burdens;

the impact of possible future acquisitions, if any, including the costs and burdens of integration efforts;

the ability of the Company to receive dividends from its subsidiaries;

changes in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) government guaranteed lending rules, regulations and loan products, including specifically the SBA Section 7(a) program, changes in SBA or USDA standard operating procedures or changes to the status of Byline Bank as an SBA Preferred Lender;

changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to bank holding companies and banking generally; or

the impact of a possible change in the federal or state income tax rate on our deferred tax assets and provision for income tax expense.

These factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. You should also consider the risks, assumptions and uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Form 10-Q, as well as those set forth in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. We assume no obligation to update any of these statements in light of new information, future events or otherwise unless required under the federal securities laws.

Item 3. Quantita tive and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin because of changes in interest rates.

We seek to measure and manage the potential impact of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities mature or re-price at different times, on a different basis or in unequal amounts. Interest rate risk also arises when our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts each respond differently to changes in interest rates, including as a result of explicit and implicit provisions in agreements related to such assets and liabilities and in off-balance sheet contracts that alter the applicable interest rate and cash flow characteristics as interest rates change. The two primary examples of such provisions that we are exposed to are the duration and rate sensitivity associated with indeterminate-maturity deposits (e.g., non-interest-bearing checking accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts, savings accounts and money market deposits accounts (“MMDAs”) and the rate of prepayment associated with fixed-rate lending and mortgage-backed securities. Interest rates may also affect loan demand, credit losses, mortgage origination volume and other items affecting earnings.

We are also exposed to interest rate risk through the retained portion of the government guaranteed loans we make and the related servicing rights. Our government guaranteed loan portfolio is comprised primarily of SBA 7(a) loans, virtually all of which are quarterly or monthly adjustable with the prime rate. The SBA portfolio reacts differently in a rising rate environment than our other non-guaranteed portfolios. Generally, when interest rates rise, the prepayments in the SBA portfolio tend to increase.

Our management of interest rate risk is overseen by our bank’s asset liability committee, and is chaired by Byline Bank’s Treasurer, based on a risk management infrastructure approved by our board of directors that outlines reporting and measurement requirements. In particular, this infrastructure sets limits and management targets, calculated monthly, for various metrics, including our economic value sensitivity, our economic value of equity and net interest income simulations involving parallel shifts in interest rate curves, steepening and flattening yield curves, and various prepayment and deposit duration assumptions. Our risk management infrastructure also requires a periodic review of all key assumptions used, such as identifying appropriate interest rate scenarios, setting loan prepayment rates based on historical analysis, non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposit durations based on historical analysis and the targeted investment term of capital.

We manage the interest rate risk associated with our interest-bearing liabilities by managing the interest rates and tenors associated with our borrowings from the FHLB and deposits from our customers that we rely on for funding. In particular, from time to time we use special offers on deposits to alter the interest rates and tenors associated with our interest-bearing liabilities. We manage the interest rate risk associated with our interest-earning assets by managing the interest rates and tenors associated with our investment and loan portfolios, from time to time purchasing and selling investment securities and selling residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.

We utilize interest rate swaps to hedge our interest rate exposure on commercial loans when it meets our client and Byline Bank needs. Typically, customer interest rate swaps are for terms of more than 5 years. As of March 31, 2018, we had a notional amount of $345.4 million of interest rate swaps outstanding which includes customer swaps and those on Byline Bank’s balance sheet. The overall effectiveness of our hedging strategies is subject to market conditions, the quality of our execution, the accuracy of our valuation assumptions, the associated counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates.

We do not engage in speculative trading activities relating to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equities or credit.

We are also subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that borrowers or counterparties will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations in accordance with the underlying contractual terms. We manage and control credit risk in the loan and lease portfolio by adhering to well-defined underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Written credit policies document underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits and other limits or standards deemed necessary and prudent. Portfolio diversification at the obligor, industry, product and/or geographic location levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management also includes an independent credit review process that assesses compliance with commercial, real estate and other credit policies, risk ratings and other critical credit information. In addition to implementing risk management practices that are based upon established and sound lending practices, we adhere to sound credit principles. We understand and evaluate our customers’ borrowing needs and capacity to repay, in conjunction with their character and history.

Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk

We use a net interest income simulation model to measure and evaluate potential changes in our net interest income. We run various hypothetical interest rate scenarios at least monthly and compare these results against a scenario with no changes in interest rates. Our net interest income simulation model incorporates various assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results such as: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments on and off balance sheet, (4) differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices, (5) the effect of interest rate limitations in our assets, such as floors and caps, (6) the effect of our interest rate swaps and (7) overall growth and repayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.

Potential changes to our net interest income in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of March 31, 2018 is presented in the following table. The projections assume (1) immediate, parallel shifts downward of the yield curve of 100 basis points and immediate, parallel shifts upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points and (2) gradual shifts downward of 100 basis points over 12 months and gradual shifts upward of 100 and 200 basis points over 12 months. In the current interest rate environment, a downward shift of the yield curve of 200, 300 and 400 basis points does not provide us with meaningful results. In a downward parallel shift of the yield curve, interest rates at the short-end of the yield curve are not modeled to decline any further than 0%. For the dynamic balance sheet and rate shift scenarios, we assume interest rates follow a forward yield curve and then ramp it up by 1/12th of the total change in rates each month for twelve months.

The results of this simulation analysis are hypothetical, and a variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from those projected, our net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts such as a flattening or steepening of the yield curve or changes in interest rate spreads, would also cause our net interest income to be different from that depicted. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term liabilities re-price faster than expected or faster than our assets re-price. Actual results could differ from those projected if we grow assets and liabilities faster or slower than estimated, if we experience a net outflow of deposit liabilities or if our mix of assets and liabilities otherwise changes. Actual results could also differ from those projected if we experience substantially different repayment speeds in our loan portfolio than those assumed in the simulation model. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that we may undertake in response to potential or actual changes in interest rates, such as changes to our loan, investment, deposit, funding or hedging strategies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
