(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation : Civista Bancshares, Inc. (CBI) is an Ohio corporation and a registered financial holding company. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CBI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Civista Bank (Civista), First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. (FCIA), Water Street Properties, Inc. (Water St.), FC Refund Solutions, Inc. (FCRS) and CIVB Risk Management, Inc. (CRMI). FCRS was formed to facilitate payment of individual state and federal income tax refunds. The operations of FCRS were discontinued June 30, 2019. The discontinued operations of FCRS will not affect the Company’s participation in the tax refund processing program. CRMI is a wholly-owned captive insurance company which allows the Company to insure against certain risks unique to the operations of CBI and its subsidiaries. The operations of CRMI are located in Wilmington, Delaware. First Citizens Capital LLC (FCC) is wholly-owned by Civista and holds inter-company debt. The operations of FCC are located in Wilmington, Delaware. First Citizens Investments, Inc. (FCI) is wholly-owned by Civista and holds and manages its securities portfolio. The operations of FCI are located in Wilmington, Delaware. FCIA was formed to allow the Company to participate in commission revenue generated through its third party insurance agreement. Insurance commission revenue was less than 1.0% of total revenue through September 30, 2019. Water Street Properties was formed to hold properties repossessed by CBI subsidiaries.  Revenue from Water St. was less than 1.0% of total revenue through September 30, 2019. The above companies together are referred to as the “Company.” Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Management considers the Company to operate primarily in one reportable segment, banking.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019 and its results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 have been made. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions of Form 10-Q, and therefore certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the notes to the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s 2018 annual report. The Company has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

The Company provides financial services through its offices in the Ohio counties of Erie, Crawford, Champaign, Franklin, Logan, Madison, Summit, Huron, Ottawa, Richland, Montgomery and Cuyahoga, in the Indiana counties of Dearborn and Ripley and in the Kentucky county of Kenton. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Civista has two concentrations, one is to Lessors of Non-Residential Buildings and Dwellings totaling $427,503, or 25.8% of total loans, as of September 30, 2019, and the other is to Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings totaling $166,199, or 10.0% of total loans, as of September 30, 2019. These segments of the portfolio are stable and have been conservatively underwritten, monitored and managed by experienced commercial bankers. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate market and general economic conditions in the area. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is regularly reviewed by management to determine that the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio.  If not, an additional provision is made to increase the allowance.  This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed impaired loans, the pooling of commercial credits risk graded as special mention and substandard that are not individually analyzed, and general loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions, among other items.

Form 10-Q

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

Those judgments and assumptions that are most critical to the application of this accounting policy are assessing the initial and on-going credit-worthiness of the borrower, the amount and timing of future cash flows of the borrower that are available for repayment of the loan, the sufficiency of underlying collateral, the enforceability of third-party guarantees, the frequency and subjectivity of loan reviews and risk ratings, emerging or changing trends that might not be fully captured in the historical l oss experience, and charges against the allowance for actual losses that are greater than previously estimated. These judgments and assumptions are dependent upon or can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the breadth and depth of experience o f lending officers, credit administration and the corporate loan review staff that periodically review the status of the loan, changing economic and industry conditions, changes in the financial condition of the borrower and changes in the value and availa bility of the underlying collateral and guarantees.

Use of Estimates : To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, impairment of goodwill, fair values of financial instruments, deferred taxes and pension obligations are particularly subject to change.

Income Taxes : Income tax expense is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the entire year. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Business Combinations: At the date of acquisition, the Company records the assets and liabilities of acquired companies on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value. The results of operations for acquired companies are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning at the acquisition date. Expenses arising from acquisition activities are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period incurred.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities : The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to facilitate the risk management strategies of a small number of commercial banking customers. All derivatives are accounted for in accordance with ASC-815, Derivatives and Hedging . The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these agreements by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly rated third party financial institutions. The swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes because the Company does not currently intend to execute a setoff with its counterparties. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of marketable securities, is posted by the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds.

Change in Accounting Principals:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). These amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. We adopted ASU 2017-08, effective January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases , which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842 , which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases , as the date of initial application of transition, which we elected. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, we recorded both operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $2,210 and lease liabilities of $2,210. The adoption of ASC 842 had an immaterial impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings required.

Additional information and disclosures required by this new standard are contained in Note 17, 'Leases' .

Effect of Newly Issued but Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of ASU 2016-13 is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The final ASU is expected to be issued in mid-November. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. This process has engaged multiple areas of the Company in evaluating loss estimation methods and application of these methods to specific segments of the loan portfolio. Management has been actively monitoring FASB developments and evaluating the use of different methods allowed.  Due to continuing development of our methodology, additional time is required to quantify the affect this ASU will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Management plans on running parallel calculations during the year and finalizing a method or methods of adoption in time for the effective date.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer, such as the Company, should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other , for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The final ASU is expected to be issued in mid-November. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements .  The Update removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level I and Level II of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level III fair value measurements. The Update requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level III fair value measurements held at the end of the r eporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level III fair value measurements. This Update is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning af ter December 15, 2019.  This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810) , which made improvements in (1) applying the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance to private companies under common control and (2) considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests.  Under the amendments in this Update, a private company may elect not to apply VIE guidance to legal entities under common control (including common control leasing arrangements) if both the parent and the legal entity being evaluated for consolidation are not public business entities.  In addition, indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. For entities other than private companies, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) , which made the following targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements: (1) clarified that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account, (2) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606, and (3) require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses amendments are effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the Topic 326 amendments on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendments to Topic 825 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The final ASU is expected to be issued in mid-November. This Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 326 , which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for the applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial asset would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted once ASU 2016-13 has been adopted. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date for ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The final ASU is expected to be issued in mid-November. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

At September 30, 2019, there were a total of 33 securities in the portfolio with unrealized losses mainly due to higher current market rates when compared to the time of purchase. Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ securities are of high credit quality, management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to market yields increasing. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or reset date. The Company does not intend to sell until recovery and does not believe selling will be required before recovery.

The following table presents the net gains and losses on equity investments recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the portion of unrealized gains and losses for the period that relates to equity investments held at September 30, 2019 and 2018:

(5) Allowance for Loan Losses

Management has an established methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loss migration rates for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating loan loss allowance allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve.

The following economic factors are analyzed:

Changes in lending policies and procedures

Changes in experience and depth of lending and management staff

Changes in quality of credit review system

Changes in nature and volume of the loan portfolio

Changes in past due, classified and nonaccrual loans and TDRs

Changes in economic and business conditions

Changes in competition or legal and regulatory requirements

Changes in concentrations within the loan portfolio

Changes in the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $14,144 adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, at September 30, 2019.

The following tables present credit exposures by internally assigned risk grades as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The risk rating analysis estimates the cap ability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned risk grades are as follows:

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that Civista will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

Generally, Residential Real Estate, Real Estate Construction and Consumer and Other loans are not risk-graded, except when collateral is used for a business purpose. Only those loans that have been risk rated are included below.

The following tables present performing and nonperforming loans based solely on payment activity for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that have not been assigned an internal risk grade. The types of loans presented here are not assigned a risk grade unless there is evidence of a problem. Payment activity is reviewed by manag ement on a monthly basis to evaluate performance. Loans are considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due and if management determines that we may not collect all of our principal and interest. Nonperforming loans also include certain lo ans that have been modified in Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s lo ss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions due to economic status. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may o nly be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

Nonaccrual Loans: Loans are considered for nonaccrual status upon reaching 90 days delinquency, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, although the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the unpaid principal balance. A loan may be returned to accruing status only if one of three conditions are met: the loan is well-secured and none of the principal and interest has been past due for a minimum of 90 days; the loan is a TDR and has made a minimum of six months payments; or the principal and interest payments are reasonably assured and a sustained period of performance has occurred, generally six months.

Modifications: A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when the Company for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Commercial Real Estate loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. Residential Real Estate loans modified in a TDR primarily involve interest rate reductions where monthly payments are lowered to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs.

Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates. As of September 30, 2019, TDRs accounted for $104 of the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2018, TDRs accounted for $143 of the allowance for loan losses.

Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the periods ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were as follows:

Recidivism, or the borrower defaulting on its obligation pursuant to a modified loan, results in the loan once again becoming a non-accrual loan. Recidivism occurs at a notably higher rate than do defaults on new origination loans, so modified loans present a higher risk of loss than do new origination loans.

During both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, there were no defaults on loans that were modified and considered TDRs during the respective previous twelve months.

Impaired Loans: Larger (greater than $350) Commercial & Agricultural and Commercial Real Estate loan relationships, all TDRs and Residential Real Estate and Consumer loans that are part of a larger relationship are tested for impairment on a

quarterly basis. These loans are analyzed to determine if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines that the value of the impaired lo an is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans, excluding PCI loans, with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(10) Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customers’ financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as the conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk of credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of commitment. The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows for September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Civista is required to maintain certain reserve balances on hand in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board requirements. The reserve balance maintained in accordance with such requirements was $7,121 on September 30, 2019 and $8,891 on December 31, 2018. Such amounts are included within cash and due from financial institutions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(11) Pension Information

The Company sponsors a pension plan which is a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. Annual payments, subject to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, are made to a pension trust fund. In 2006, the Company amended the pension plan to provide that no employee could be added as a participant to the pension plan after December 31, 2006. In 2014, the Company amended the pension plan again to provide that no additional benefits would accrue beyond April 30, 2014.

(12) Equity Incentive Plan

At the Company’s 2014 annual meeting, the shareholders adopted the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan (“2014 Incentive Plan”). The 2014 Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant options, stock awards, stock units and other awards for up to 375,000 common shares of the Company. There were 240,001 shares available for future grants under this plan at September 30, 2019.

No options had been granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Each year, the Board of Directors has awarded restricted common shares to senior officers of the Company. The restricted shares vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant date. The product of the number of restricted shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common shares determines the fair value of restricted shares awarded under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

On May 17, 2018, directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 6,204 common shares were issued to Civista directors as payment of their retainer for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2019 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $144.

On September 25, 2018, newly appointed directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 867 common shares were issued for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2019 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $21.

Finally, on May 21, 2019, directors of the Company’s banking subsidiary, Civista, were paid a retainer in the form of non-restricted common shares of the Company. The aggregate of 8,946 common shares were issued to Civista directors as payment of their retainer for their service on the Civista Board of Directors covering the period up to the 2020 Annual Meeting. This issuance was expensed in its entirety when the shares were issued in the amount of $196.

The Company classifies share-based compensation for employees with “Compensation expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $256 of share-based compensation expense and $196 of director retainer fees for shares granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan. At September 30, 2019, the total compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized is $577, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining life of the grants of 2.50 years.

(13) Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are identifiable on the measurement date; Level 2: Significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.

Debt securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Equity securities: The Company has two types of equity securities, one is not actively traded in an open market, while the other is listed on an exchange and is less frequently traded. The fair value of the equity security available for sale not actively traded in an open market is determined by using market data inputs for similar securities that are observable (Level 2 inputs).  The fair value of the other equity security is determined from third-party pricing services or a computerized pricing model and classified Level 2.

The fair value of the swap asset/liability: The fair value of the swap asset and liability is based on an external derivative model using data inputs based on similar transactions as of the valuation date and classified Level 2. The changes in fair value of these assets/liabilities had no impact on net income or comprehensive income.

Impaired loans: The Company has measured impairment on impaired loans generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. Additionally, management makes estimates about expected costs to sell the property which are also included in the net realizable value. If the fair value of the collateral dependent loan is less than the carrying amount of the loan, a specific reserve for the loan is made in the allowance for loan losses or a charge-off is taken to reduce the loan to the fair value of the collateral (less estimated selling costs) and the loan is included as a Level 3 measurement. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, then the loan is not included in the table below as it is not currently being carried at its fair value.  The fair values in the table below exclude estimated selling costs of $13 as of September 30, 2019.

(14) Derivatives

To accommodate customer need and to support the Company’s asset/liability positioning, on occasion we enter into interest rate swaps with a customer and a bank counterparty. The interest rate swaps are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value. The Company enters into a floating rate loan and a fixed rate swap with our customer. Simultaneously, the Company enters into an offsetting fixed rate swap with a bank counterparty. In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on the same notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay a bank counterparty the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. These transactions allow the Company’s customer to effectively convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans. Since the Company acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations. None of the Company’s derivatives are designated as hedging instruments.

The Company monitors and controls all derivative products with a comprehensive Board of Director approved commercial loan swap policy. All hedge transactions must be approved in advance by the Lenders Loan Committee or the Directors Loan Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company classifies changes in fair value of derivatives with “Other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operation.

(15) Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments

The Company invests in certain qualified affordable housing projects. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of the investment for qualified affordable housing projects was $4,669 and $4,276, respectively. These balances are reflected in the other assets line on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The unfunded commitments related to the investments in qualified affordable housing projects totaled $4,173 and $4,922 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized amortization expense with respect to its investments in qualified affordable housing projects of $133 and $130, respectively, offset by tax credits and other benefits from its investment in affordable housing tax credits of $275 and $207, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized amortization expense with respect to its investments in qualified affordable housing projects of $399 and $388, respectively, offset by tax credits and other benefits from its investment in affordable housing tax credits of $827 and $633, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not incur impairment losses related to its investment in qualified affordable housing projects.

(16) Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenues from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities are outside the scope of the new standard and accounted for under other existing GAAP. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of ASC 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges

Service charges consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Page 33


Civista Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Form 10-Q

(Amounts in thousands, except share data)

ATM/Interchange Fees

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Mastercard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Wealth Management Fees

Wealth management fees are primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Tax Refund Processing Fees

The Company facilitates the payment of federal and state income tax refunds in partnership with a third-party vendor. Refund Transfers (“RTs”) are fee-based products whereby a tax refund is issued to the taxpayer after the Company has received the refund from the federal or state government. As part of this agreement the Company earns fee income, the majority of which is received in the first quarter of the year. The Company’s fee income revenue is recognized based on the estimated percent of business completed by each date.

Other

Other noninterest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such as check order fees, wire transfer fees, safety deposit box rental fees, item processing fees and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Check order income mainly represents fees charged to customers for checks. Wire transfer fees represent revenue from processing wire transfers. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.  Item processing fee income represents fees charged to other financial institutions for processing their transactions. Payment is typically received in the following month.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition cost.

(17) Leases

We have operating leases for several branch locations and office space. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We also lease certain office equipment under operating leases. Many of our leases include both lease (e.g., minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs). The Company accounts for each component separately based on the standalone price of each component. In addition, we have several operating leases with lease terms of less than one year and therefore, we have elected the practical expedient to exclude these short-term leases from our ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Most leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion. The majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are reasonably certain of exercise.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the fully collateralized FHLB borrowing rate, commensurate with the lease terms based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

The balance sheet information related to our operating leases were as follows as of September 30, 2019:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of the Company at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, and the consolidated results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), relating to such matters as the Company’s financial condition, anticipated operating results, cash flows, business line results, credit quality expectations, prospects for new lines of business, economic trends (including interest rates) and similar matters. Forward-looking statements reflect our expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events. These statements are generally identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe,” “belief,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “intent,” “estimate,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,” “should” or other similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in financial markets or national or local economic conditions; sustained weakness or deterioration in the real estate market; volatility and direction of market interest rates; credit risks of lending activities; changes in the allowance for loan losses; legislation or regulatory changes or actions; increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums and assessments; changes in tax laws; failure of or breach in our information and data processing systems; unforeseen litigation; and other risks identified from time-to-time in the Company’s other public documents on file with the SEC, including those risks identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Total assets of the Company at September 30, 2019 were $2,269,065 compared to $2,138,954 at December 31, 2018, an increase of $130,111, or 6.1%. The increase in total assets was due to increases in cash and due from financial institutions, securities available for sale and loans of $19,440, $8,993 and $86,234, accompanied by other increases in loans held for sale, bank owned life insurance and other assets. Total liabilities at September 30, 2019 were $1,939,802 compared to $1,840,056 at December 31, 2018, an increase of $99,746, or 5.4%. The increase in total liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in total deposits, mainly due to increases in noninterest-bearing demand and interest-bearing demand accounts of $29,161 and $23,567, respectively, accrued expenses and other liabilities and other borrowings, partially offset by decreases in short-term FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Net loans have in creased $86,234 or 5.6% since December 31, 2018 . The Commercial & Agriculture, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied , Residential Real Estate and Real Estate Construction loan portfolio s increased $ 19 , 732 , $ 16 , 380 , $ 35 , 206 , $ 7 , 605 and $ 13 , 823, respectively , since December 31, 2018 , while the Farm Real Estate and Consumer and Other loan portfolio s decreased $ 2 , 227 and $ 3 , 820 , respectively , since December 31, 2018 .  At September 30, 2019 , the net loan to deposit ratio was 100.1% compared to 98.0% at December 31, 2018 .

During the first nine months of 2019, provisions made to the allowance for loan losses from earnings totaled $150, compared to a provision of $390 during the same period in 2018. Net recoveries for the first nine months of 2019 totaled $315, compared to net charge offs of $193 in the first nine months of 2018. For the first nine months of 2019, the Company charged off a total of 30 loans. Two Commercial & Agriculture loans totaling $27, eleven Real Estate Mortgage loans totaling $223, one Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loan totaling $60, one Real Estate Construction loan totaling $24 and fifteen Consumer and Other loans totaling $97 were charged off in the first nine months of the year. In addition, during the first nine months of 2019, the Company had recoveries on previously charged-off Commercial and Agriculture loans of $65, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied loans of $282, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied loans of $99, Real Estate Mortgage loans of $229, Real Estate Construction loans of $1, Farm Real Estate loans of $3 and Consumer and Other loans of $67. For each loan category, as well as in total, the percentage of net charge-offs to loans was less than one percent. Nonperforming loans decreased by $231 since December 31, 2018, which was due to a decrease in loans on nonaccrual status of $248 and an increase in loans past due 90 days and accruing of $17. Each of these factors was considered by management as part of the examination of both the level and mix of the allowance by loan type as well as the overall level of the allowance.

Management specifically evaluates loans that are impaired for estimates of loss. To evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to cover probable losses in the portfolio, management considers specific reserve allocations for identified portfolio loans, reserves for delinquencies and historical reserve allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve.

Management analyzes each impaired Commercial and Commercial Real Estate loan relationship with a balance of $350 or larger, on an individual basis and designates a loan as impaired when it is in nonaccrual status or when an analysis of the borrower’s operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. Loans held for sale are excluded from consideration as impaired. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.86% at September 30, 2019 and 0.88% December 31, 2018.

The available for sale security portfolio increased by $8,993, from $346,294 at December 31, 2018 to $355,287 at September 30, 2019.  Management continually evaluates our securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability and the level of interest rate risk to which the Company is exposed. These evaluations may cause the Company to change the level of funds it deploys into investment securities and change the composition of its investment securities portfolio. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all pledging requirements.

Premises and equipment, net, increased $180 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. The increase is the result of new purchases of $1,729, offset by depreciation of $1,473. Additionally, $76 of premises and equipment was transferred to available for sale.

Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) increased $1,708 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. The Company purchased additional policies totaling $955 during the first quarter of 2019.  The remaining difference is the result of increases in the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies.

Other assets increased $6,587 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019.  The increase is the result of increases in the fair value of swap assets and right-of-use (ROU) assets of $8,719 and $2,367, offset by a decrease in net deferred tax assets. We adopted ASU 2016-02, effective January 1, 2019, which requires the recognition of lease assets for those leases classified as operating leases.  At September 30, 2019, the ROU assets totaled $2,367.

Total deposits at September 30, 2019 increased $52,728 from year-end 2018. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $29,161 from year-end 2018, while interest-bearing deposits, including savings and time deposits, increased $23,567 from December 31, 2018. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to increases in business and public fund demand deposit accounts of $28,999 and $10,178, respectively. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to an increase in public fund interest-bearing accounts of $30,824, offset by decreases in statement savings accounts and public fund money market accounts of $6,797 and $5,178, respectively. The year-to-date average balance of total deposits increased $441,619 compared to the average balance for the same period in 2018 mainly due to the United Community Bancorp (“UCB”) acquisition in the third quarter of 2018.

Short-term FHLB advances decreased $7,500 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. The decrease is due to a decrease in overnight borrowings. Other borrowings increased $50,000 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. On May 23, 2019, the Company advanced $50,000 from the FHLB.  The advance has terms of one hundred twenty months, puttable after sixty-months with a fixed rate of 2.05%. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which tend to fluctuate, have decreased $7,111 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $11,629 from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019.  The increase is primarily the result of increases in lease liabilities of $2,367 and swap liabilities of $8,719.

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2019 was $329,263, or 14.5% of total assets, compared to $298,898, or 14.0% of total assets, at December 31, 2018. The increase was the result of net income of $26,038, a decrease in the Company’s pension liability, net of tax, of $348, and an increase in the fair value of securities available for sale, net of tax, of $12,771, partially offset by dividends on preferred shares and common shares of $490 and $4,845, respectively.

Total outstanding common shares at September 30, 2019 were 15,473,275, which decreased from 15,603,499 common shares outstanding at December 31, 2018. Common shares outstanding decreased as a result of 188,200 common shares being repurchased by the Company at an average repurchase price of $20.77. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to 470,000 shares of the Company’s common shares until December 18, 2019 pursuant to a stock repurchase program announced on December 20, 2018.  The decrease in common shares outstanding was offset by the grant of 21,106 restricted common shares to certain officers under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan, the grant of 8,946 common shares to Civista directors as a retainer payment for service on the Civista Board of Directors and the conversion of 222 shares of the Company’s previously issued preferred shares into 28,416 common shares.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,429, an increase of $2,141 or 65.1% from $3,288 for the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases in service charge fee income, ATM/Interchange fees and bank owned life insurance income is primarily attributable to the Company’s acquisition of UCB during the third quarter of 2018.  Net gain on sale of securities increased as a result of management’s decision to reposition the investment portfolio in 2018, which resulted in losses on the sales.  Net gain on equity securities increased as a result of market value increases.  Net gain on sale of loans increased primarily as a result of an increase in volume of loans sold and the average loan balance of loans sold.  Wealth management fees increased primarily as a result of an increase in brokerage fees.  Other income increased as a result of an increase in swap fee income.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $16,731, a decrease of $5,425, or 24.5%, from $22,156 reported for the same period of 2018. The primary reasons for the decrease were decreases in compensation expense, contracted data processing and professional services. The decrease in compensation expense, contracted data processing expenses and professional services costs is due to expenses paid during the third quarter of 2018 related to the acquisition of UCB. The decrease in compensation expense was offset by increases mainly due to being a larger company as a result of the acquisition of UCB.  The quarter-to-date average full time equivalent (FTE) employees were 455.9 at September 30, 2019, an increase of 94.7 FTEs over 2018, which increased payroll and payroll related expenses due to annual pay increases and increases in commission based costs and employee insurance costs.  The increases in net occupancy expense, equipment expense, amortization expense, ATM/Interchange expense, marketing expense and other operating expenses are primarily due to being a larger company as a result of the acquisition of UCB.  The quarter-over-quarter increase in state franchise taxes was attributable to an increase in equity capital, which is the basis of the Ohio Financial Institutions tax.  The decrease in FDIC assessment is due to a small bank assessment credit applied to the Company’s third quarter 2019 assessment.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $1,258, up $1,259 compared to the same period in 2018. The effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 14.0% and 0.0%, respectively.  The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is the permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits and bank owned life insurance income.  The increase in the effective tax rate is due to higher taxable income for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

The Company had net income of $26,038 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $19,468 from net income of $6,570 for the same nine months of 2018. Basic earnings per common share were $1.64 for the period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.54 for the same period in 2018. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.54 for the period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.51 for the same period in 2018. The primary reasons for the changes in net income are explained below.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $63,878, an increase of $18,516 from $45,362 in the same nine months of 2018.  This increase is the result of an increase of $23,563 in total interest income with only an increase of $5,047 in interest expense.  Interest-earning assets averaged $2,008,731 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $519,496 from $1,489,235 for the same period of 2018.  The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $947,807 in 2018 to $1,326,084 in 2019, largely due to the UCB acquisition in the third quarter of 2018.  The Company’s fully tax equivalent net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 4.35% and 4.14%, respectively.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $16,816, an increase of $3,523 or 26.5% from $13,293 for the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases in service charge fee income, ATM/Interchange fees and bank owned life insurance income primarily attributable to the Company’s acquisition of UCB during the third quarter of 2018.  Net gain on sale of loans increased primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of loans sold and the average loan balance of loans sold. Net gain on sale of securities increased as a result of management’s decision to reposition the investment portfolio in 2018, which resulted in losses on the sales.  Net gain on equity securities decreased as a result of market value adjustments.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $49,818, a decrease of $470, or 0.9%, from $50,288 reported for the same period of 2018. The primary reasons for the increase were increases in compensation expense mainly due to being a larger company as a result of the acquisition of UCB.  Year-to-date average FTE employees were 440.8 at September 30, 2019, an increase of 90.4 FTE’s over 2018.  In addition, the increase can be attributed to payroll and payroll related expenses due to annual pay increases and increases in commission based costs, stock-based compensation and employee insurance costs. The increases were offset by a decrease related to expenses paid during the third quarter of 2018 related to the acquisition of UCB. The increases in net occupancy expense, equipment expense, amortization expense, ATM/Interchange expense, marketing expense and other operating expenses are primarily due to being a larger company as a result of the acquisition of UCB.  The year-over-year increase in state franchise taxes was attributable to an increase in equity capital, which is the basis of the Ohio Financial Institutions tax.  The decrease in contracted data processing expenses and professional services costs is due to expenses paid during the third quarter of 2018 related to the acquisition of UCB. FDIC assessment decreased due to small bank assessment credits applied to the Company’s third quarter assessment.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $4,688, up $3,281 compared to the same period in 2018. The effective tax rates for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 15.3% and 17.6%, respectively.  The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is the permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits and bank owned life insurance income.

Liquidity

The Company maintains a conservative liquidity position. All securities are classified as available for sale. Securities, with maturities of one year or less, totaled $10,134, or 2.9% of the total security portfolio at September 30, 2019. The available for sale portfolio helps to provide the Company with the ability to meet its funding needs. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) contained in the consolidated financial statements detail the Company’s cash flows from operating activities resulting from net earnings.

As reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited), our cash flows are classified for financial reporting purposes as operating, investing or financing cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities was $22,522 and $19,488 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts differ from net income due to a variety of cash receipts and disbursements that did not affect net income for the respective periods. Net cash used for investing activities was $81,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and net cash provided by investing activities was $41,097 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, principally reflecting our loan and investment security activities. Additionally, in 2018 cash was provided from the acquisition of UCB.  Cash provided by and used for deposits and borrowings comprised most of our financing activities, which resulted in net cash provided by of $78,873 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and used for of $36,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Future loan demand of Civista may be funded by increases in deposit accounts, proceeds from payments on existing loans, the maturity of securities, and the sale of securities classified as available for sale. Additional sources of funds may also come from borrowing in the Federal Funds market and/or borrowing from the FHLB. Through its correspondent banks, Civista maintains federal funds borrowing lines totaling $42,500. As of September 30, 2019, Civista had total credit availability with the FHLB of $554,702 with standby letters of credit totaling $20,000 and a remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $298,602.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest-rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure.

Interest-rate risk is the exposure of a banking organization’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value. However, excessive levels of interest-rate risk can pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest-rate risk at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest-rate risk and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the interest-rate risk management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest-rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and, where appropriate, asset quality.

The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, adopted a Joint Agency Policy Statement on interest-rate risk, effective June 26, 1996. The policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices for managing interest-rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of interest-rate risk management at supervised institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing interest-rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active board of director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive risk-management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls interest-rate risk.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will have either lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing-rate environment.

Several techniques may be used by an institution to minimize interest-rate risk. One approach used by the Company is to periodically analyze its assets and liabilities and make future financing and investment decisions based on payment streams, interest rates, contractual maturities, and estimated sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. Such activities fall under the broad definition of asset/liability management. The Company’s primary asset/liability management technique is the measurement of the Company’s asset/liability gap, that is, the difference between the cash flow amounts of interest sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year, or longer period, the institution is in an asset sensitive gap position. In this situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or decrease if market interest rates fell. If, alternatively, more liabilities than assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability sensitive position. Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when rates fell. Also, these examples assume that interest rate changes for assets and liabilities are of the same magnitude, whereas actual interest rate changes generally differ in magnitude for assets and liabilities.

Several ways an institution can manage interest-rate risk include selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; matching repricing periods for new assets and liabi lities, for example, by shortening terms of new loans or securities; and hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interes t-rate risk. Interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures, and other such derivative financial instruments often are used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they require management expertise to be effective. The Company has not purchased derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk in the past and does not currently intend to purchase such instruments in the near future. Financial institutions are also subject to prepayment risk in falling rate environments. For example, mortgage loans and other financial assets may be prepaid by a debtor so that the debtor may refinance its obligations at new, lower rates. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce the Company’s interest income and overall asset yields. A large portion of an institution’s liabilities may be short-term or due on demand, while most of its assets may be invested in long-term loans or securities. Accordingly, the Company seeks to have in place sources of cash to meet short-term demands. These funds can be obtained by increasing deposits, borrowing, or selling assets. FHLB advances and wholesale borrowings may also be used as important sources of liquidity for the Company.

The following table provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that were sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, based on certain prepayment and account decay assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The table shows the changes in the Company’s net portfolio value (in amount and percent) that would result from hypothetical interest rate increases of 200 basis points and 100 basis points and an interest rate decrease of 100 basis points at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company had derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019. The changes in fair value of the assets and liabilities of the underlying contracts offset each other. Expected maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were calculated based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding. The Company’s borrowings were tabulated by contractual maturity dates and without regard to any conversion or repricing dates.

The change in net portfolio value from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019, can be attributed to a couple of factors. While the yield curve has fallen from the end of the year, both the volume and mix of assets and funding sources has changed.  The volume of loans has increased, but the mix has shifted toward cash.  Similarly, the volume of deposits has increased, while the mix has shifted away from deposits toward borrowed money.  The mix shifts from the end of the year led to a small decrease in the base net portfolio value.  Assets have shifted toward more volatile components while liabilities have shifted toward less volatile components.  Combined, this led to a small increase in volatility.  Beyond the change in the base level of net portfolio value, projected movements in rates, up or down, would also lead to changes in market values.  The change in the rates up scenarios for both the 100 and 200 basis point movements would lead to a larger decrease in the market value of liabilities.  Accordingly, we see an increase in the net portfolio value.  However, a 100 and 200 basis point downward change in rates would lead to an increase in the net portfolio value as the market value of assets would increase more quickly than the market value of liabilities.
