ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used by Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the "Company" or "Enterprise") in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

Business and Consolidation

Enterprise is a financial holding company that provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to individuals and corporate customers located in the St. Louis, Kansas City, and Phoenix metropolitan markets through its banking subsidiary, Enterprise Bank & Trust (the "Bank").

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2016 . For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In 2016, the Company changed its presentation of certificates of deposit on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to separate brokered deposit sources from other sources.  The corresponding prior period balances were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share data is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares outstanding include common stock and restricted stock awards where recipients have satisfied the vesting terms. Diluted earnings per common share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

The following table presents a summary of per common share data and amounts for the periods indicated.

At June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity, other than the U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises. The agency mortgage-backed securities are all issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. Available for sale securities having a fair value of $336.8 million and $334.4 million at June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure deposits of public institutions and for other purposes as required by law or contract provisions.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2016 , by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The weighted average life of the mortgage-backed securities is approximately 4 years.

The unrealized losses at both June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates since the securities were purchased. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include among other considerations (1) the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected compared to the amortized cost of the security, (2) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (3) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers, (4) structure of the security, and (5) the intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value. At June 30, 2016 , management performed its quarterly analysis of all securities with an unrealized loss and concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic factors among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Grades 1 , 2 , and 3 Includes loans to borrowers with a continuous record of strong earnings, sound balance sheet condition and capitalization, ample liquidity with solid cash flow, and whose management team has experience and depth within their industry.
Grade 4 Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow.
Grade 5 Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow.
Grade 6 Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7 , 8 , or 9 rating.
Grade 7 – Watch credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support.
Grade 8 Substandard credits will include those borrowers characterized by significant losses and sustained downward trends in balance sheet condition, liquidity, and cash flow. Repayment reliance may have shifted to secondary sources. Collateral exposure may exist and additional reserves may be warranted.
Grade 9 Doubtful credits include borrowers that may show deteriorating trends that are unlikely to be corrected. Collateral values may appear insufficient for full recovery, therefore requiring a partial charge-off, or debt renegotiation with the borrower. The borrower may have declared bankruptcy or bankruptcy is likely in the near term. All doubtful rated credits will be on non-accrual.

The recorded investment by risk category of the Portfolio loans by portfolio class and category at June 30, 2016 , which is based upon the most recent analysis performed, and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company issues financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of the business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2016 , there were $0.1 million unadvanced commitments on impaired loans.

The contractual amounts of off-balance-sheet financial instruments as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit
$
1,067,353

$
1,140,028

Standby letters of credit
82,606

54,648


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 usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may have significant usage restrictions, and may require payment of a fee. Of the total commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , approximately $115 million and $94 million , respectively, represent fixed rate loan commitments. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon or may be revoked, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and real estate. Other liabilities include $0.3 million for estimated losses attributable to the unadvanced commitments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. The approximate remaining term of standby letters of credit range from 1 month to 2 years 11 months at June 30, 2016 .

Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no such proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is a party to various derivative financial instruments that are used in the normal course of business to meet the needs of its clients and as part of its risk management activities. These instruments include interest rate swaps and option contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Risk Management Instruments. The Company enters into interest rate caps in order to economically hedge changes in fair value of State tax credits held for sale. See Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements for further discussion on the fair value of state tax credits. The notional amount of the derivative instruments used to manage risk was $3.5 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , and the fair value was zero in both periods.

Client-Related Derivative Instruments. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to allow customers to hedge changes in fair value of certain loans while maintaining a variable rate loan on its own books. The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with clients, and enters into offsetting foreign exchange forward contracts with established financial institution counterparties. The table below summarizes the notional amounts and fair values of the client-related derivative instruments:

Changes in the fair value of client-related derivative instruments are recognized currently in operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , the gains and losses offset each other due to the Company's hedging of the client swaps with other bank counterparties.

Securities available for sale . Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Fair values for Level 2 securities are based upon dealer quotes, market spreads, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions at the security level. At June 30, 2016 , Level 3 securities available for sale consist primarily of three Auction Rate Securities that are valued based on the securities' estimated cash flows, yields of comparable securities, and live trading levels.
State tax credits held for sale. At June 30, 2016 , of the $44.9 million of state tax credits held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, approximately $4.8 million were carried at fair value. The remaining $40.1 million of state tax credits were accounted for at cost.
The Company is not aware of an active market that exists for the 10 -year streams of state tax credit financial instruments. However, the Company’s principal market for these tax credits consists of Missouri state residents

21



who buy these credits and local and regional accounting firms who broker them. As such, the Company employed a discounted cash flow analysis (income approach) to determine the fair value.
The fair value measurement is calculated using an internal valuation model with market data including discounted cash flows based upon the terms and conditions of the tax credits. If the underlying project remains in compliance with the various federal and state rules governing the tax credit program, each project will generate about 10 years of tax credits. The inputs to the discounted cash flow calculation include: the amount of tax credits generated each year, the anticipated sale price of the tax credit, the timing of the sale and a discount rate. The discount rate is estimated using the LIBOR swap curve at a point equal to the remaining life in years of credits plus a 205 basis point spread. With the exception of the discount rate, the other inputs to the fair value calculation are observable and readily available. The discount rate is considered a Level 3 input because it is an “unobservable input” and is based on the Company’s assumptions. An increase in the discount rate utilized would generally result in a lower estimated fair value of the tax credits. Alternatively, a decrease in the discount rate utilized would generally result in a higher estimated fair value of the tax credits. Given the significance of this input to the fair value calculation, the state tax credit assets are reported as Level 3 assets.
Derivatives . Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains counterparty quotations to value its interest rate swaps and caps. In addition, the Company validates the counterparty quotations with third party valuation sources. Derivatives with negative fair values are included in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives with positive fair value are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

(1) The amounts represent only balances measured at fair value during the period and still held as of the reporting date.
Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans. Fair values for impaired loans are obtained from current appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers or independent valuation specialists. Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon foreclosure of the underlying loan. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value of other real estate is based upon the current appraised values of the properties as determined by qualified licensed appraisers and the Company’s judgment of other relevant market conditions. Certain state tax credits are reported at cost.

Following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

NOTE 9 - NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

FASB ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 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 applying the new guidance, an entity will (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new guidance was originally effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of this guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies, and permits early adoption on a limited basis. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial statements, nor decided upon the method of adoption. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2014-09.
FASB ASU 2016-01 "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value through earnings, and eliminates the available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk must be recognized in other

25



comprehensive income. When measuring the fair value of financial instruments at amortized cost, the exit price must be used for disclosure purposes. The ASU also requires that financial assets and liabilities be presented separately in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" which requires organizations that lease assets ("lessees") to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee remains dependent on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The criteria for determining whether a lease is a finance or operating lease has not been significantly changed by this ASU. The ASU also requires additional disclosure of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. The guidance becomes effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption will be permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its consolidated balance sheets.

FASB ASU 2016-09 "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" which impacts accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit.) The tax effects of exercised or vested awards must be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Excess tax benefits will be classified with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity, and cash paid by an employer when withholding shares for tax liabilities should be classified as a financing activity. The guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments (Topic 326)" which changes the methodology for evaluating impairment of most financial instruments. The ASU replaces the currently used incurred loss model with a forward-looking expected loss model, which will generally result in a more timely recognition of losses. The guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Some of the information in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of and intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are identified with use of terms such as “may,” “might,” “will, “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “could,” “continue” and the negative of these terms and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: credit risk; changes in the appraised valuation of real estate securing impaired loans; outcomes of litigation and other contingencies; exposure to general and local economic conditions; risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates; consolidation within the banking industry; competition from banks and other financial institutions; our ability to attract and retain relationship officers and other key personnel; burdens imposed by federal and state regulation; changes in regulatory requirements; changes in accounting regulation or standards applicable to banks; and other risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” of our most recently filed Form 10-K and within this Form 10-Q, all of which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis and expectations only as of the date of such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to publicly revise or update forward-looking statements after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by federal securities law. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Readers should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are available on our website at www.enterprisebank.com under "Investor Relations."

(1) A non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation has been included in this MD&A section under the caption "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company noted the following trends:

The Company reported net income of $23.4 million , or $1.16 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $18.1 million , or $0.90 per share, for the same period in 2015. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and an increase in noninterest income.

On a core basis 1 , net income was $19.4 million , or $0.96 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $14.8 million , or $0.74 per share, in the prior year period. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to increases in earning asset balances, driving growth in core net interest income. Additionally, a decrease in provision for losses on portfolio loans contributed to the increase, and was offset by a modest increase in noninterest expense.

Net interest income for the first six months of 2016 increased $7.9 million or 14% , from the prior year period due to strong portfolio loan growth.

Net interest margin for the first six months of 2016 increased two basis points to 3.90% when compared to the prior year period. Core net interest margin 1 , for the first six months of 2016 , defined as Net interest margin (fully tax equivalent), including contractual interest on PCI loans, but excluding the incremental accretion on these loans, increased seven basis points from the prior year period primarily due to managed reductions in funding costs combined with an improved earning asset mix, and an increase in the yield on portfolio loans.

Noninterest income for the first six months of 2016 increased $3.7 million , or 39% , compared to the prior year period largely due to a decrease in the Change in FDIC receivable from termination of the Company's loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of 2015. Core noninterest income 1 declined $0.5 million , or 4% , from the prior year period primarily due to higher allocation fees from tax credit projects and higher fees earned from recoveries received during the first six months of 2015.

29




Noninterest expense increased $2.7 million , or 7% , from the prior year period, and the Company's efficiency ratio improved to 53.1% from 58.2% when compared to the prior year. The increase was largely due to an increase in Employee compensation and benefits, including $0.3 million of executive severance. Core noninterest expense 1 also increased 7% when compared to the prior year. However, the Core efficiency ratio 1 also improved to 56.9% from 59.1% when compared to the prior year period due to revenue growth resulting from investments in customer facing associates driving continued revenue growth.

Other highlights:

The Company's Board approved a sixth consecutive increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to $0.11 per common share for the third quarter of 2016 from $0.10, payable on September 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2016.

The Company repurchased 18,918 shares at $26.46 per share pursuant to its publicly announced program during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , and 160,100 shares at $26.30 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company's Board authorized the repurchase plan in May of 2015, which allows the Company to repurchase up to two million common shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s currently outstanding shares. Shares may be bought back in open market or privately negotiated transactions over an indeterminate time period based on market and business conditions.

Balance sheet highlights:

Loans – Loans totaled $2.9 billion at June 30, 2016 , including $56.5 million of PCI loans. Portfolio loans increased $133.2 million , or 5% , from December 31, 2015 . Commercial and industrial loans increased $56.1 million , or 4% , Consumer and other loans increased $23.9 million , or 17% , Construction loans and Residential real estate loans increased $25.4 million , or 7% , and Commercial real estate increased $28.3 million , or 4% . See Item 1, Note 4 – Portfolio Loans for more information.
Deposits – Total deposits at June 30, 2016 were $3.0 billion , an increase of $243.6 million , or 9% , from December 31, 2015 . Deposits increased from both core deposit gathering efforts and brokered sources to supplement and fund our loan growth.
Asset quality – Nonperforming loans were $12.8 million at June 30, 2016 , compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 2015 . Nonperforming loans represented 0.44% of portfolio loans at June 30, 2016 versus 0.33% at December 31, 2015 . There were no portfolio loans that were over 90 days delinquent and still accruing at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015 .
Provision for portfolio loan losses was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . See Item 1, Note 4 – Portfolio Loans, and Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses in this section for more information.

(1) Change in volume multiplied by yield/rate of prior period.
(2) Change in yield/rate multiplied by volume of prior period.
(3) Nontaxable income is presented on a fully-tax equivalent basis using the combined statutory federal and state income tax rate in effect for each tax year.
NOTE: The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) was $34.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $29.7 million for the same period of 2015 , an increase of $4.5 million , or 15% . Total interest income increased $4.7 million and total interest expense increased $0.2 million . The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.93% for the second quarter of 2016 , compared to 3.87% for the first quarter of 2016 , and 3.85% in the second quarter of 2015 , and combined with portfolio loan growth, supported the $4.7 million increase in net interest income. The yield on taxable portfolio loans increased three basis points from the prior year period to 4.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The increase was due to an increase in yields on variable rate loans, aided by the Federal Reserve's raise in the targeted Fed Funds rate of 25 basis points, to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%, in December 2015. The run-off of higher yielding PCI loans continues to negatively impact net interest margin leading to a $1.9 million decrease in interest income due to volume for the three months ended June 30, 2016 .

Net interest income was $67.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $59.2 million for the same period of 2015 , an increase of $8.0 million , or 13% . Total interest income increased $8.1 million and total interest expense increased $0.1 million . The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to 3.88% for the same period of 2015 . The yield on taxable portfolio loans increased four basis points from the prior year period to 4.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Core net interest margin 1 was 3.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to 3.46% for the prior year period.  Core net interest margin 1 increased seven basis points from the prior year quarter primarily due to loan growth improving the earning asset mix, lower funding costs, and the aforementioned increase in the yield on portfolio loans.

33



These factors have been partially offset by reductions in PCI loan balances and the higher contractual rates associated with these loans. The Company continues to manage its balance sheet to grow core net interest income and expects to maintain core net interest margin over the coming quarters; however, pressure on funding costs and continued reductions in PCI loan balances could negate the expected trends in core net interest margin.

Accelerated cash flows and other incremental accretion consists of the interest income on PCI loans in excess of contractual interest on the loans. The contractual amount of interest is included in the Company's core results. At June 30, 2016 , the remaining accretable yield on the portfolio was estimated to be $18 million and the non-accretable difference was approximately $23 million . Absent cash flow accelerations or pool impairment, the Company currently estimates average PCI loan balances for 2016 to be approximately $60 million , and income from accelerated cash flows and other incremental accretion to be between $9 million and $11 million .

Noninterest income increased $3.7 million , or 39% in the first six months of 2016 compared to the first six months of 2015, primarily from the impact of the Company's termination of FDIC loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of 2015. Core noninterest income 1 declined 4% in the first six months of 2016 due to higher allocation fees from tax credit projects and higher fees earned from recoveries received during the first six months of 2015.

Noninterest expenses were $42.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase was partly due to an increase in Employee compensation and benefits from investments in revenue producers. Core noninterest expenses 1 , which exclude $0.3 million of executive severance, $0.3 million of other non-core expense and expenses directly related to PCI loans and related assets, increased $2.8

36



million to $40.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , from $38.1 million for the prior year period. The increase was largely due to an increase in Employee compensation and benefits from the addition of client service personnel to facilitate growth.

The Company's Core efficiency ratio 1 was 56.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to 59.1% for the prior year, and reflects overall expense management and revenue growth trends. Core efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of Core efficiency ratio has been included in this MD&A section under the caption "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

The Company anticipates total noninterest expenses to be between $19.5 million and $21.5 million per quarter for 2016.

Income Taxes

The Company's income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , which includes both federal and state taxes, was $6.7 million and $12.6 million , respectively, compared to $4.8 million and $9.8 million , respectively, for the same periods of 2015 . The combined federal and state effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 35.1% .

Loans by Type

The Company has a diversified loan portfolio, with no particular concentration of credit in any one economic sector; however, a substantial portion of the portfolio is secured by real estate, including loans classified as C&I loans. The ability of the Company's borrowers to honor their contractual obligations is partially dependent upon the local economy and its effect on the real estate market.

Specialty lending products, especially Enterprise value lending, Life insurance premium financing, and Tax credits, consists of primarily C&I loans, and have contributed significantly to the Company's loan growth. These loans are sourced through relationships developed with estate planning firms and private equity funds, and are not bound geographically by our traditional three markets. These specialized loan products offer opportunities to expand and diversify geographically by entering into new markets. The Company continues to focus on originating high-quality C&I relationships as they typically have variable interest rates and allow for cross selling opportunities involving other banking products. C&I loan growth also supports our efforts to maintain the Company's asset sensitive interest rate risk position. The Company continues to expect loan growth at or above 10% for 2016.

The provision for loan losses on portfolio loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.5 million , compared to $3.7 million for the comparable 2015 period. The provision for loan losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 was primarily to provide for loan growth.

For PCI loans, the Company remeasures contractual and expected cash flows periodically. When the remeasurement process results in a decrease in expected cash flows, typically due to an increase in expected credit losses, impairment is recorded through provision for loan losses. Similarly, when expected credit losses decrease in the remeasurement process, prior recorded impairment is reversed before the yield is increased prospectively. There was $0.4 million of provision reversal for loan losses on PCI loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to provision reversal of $3.3 million for the comparable 2015 period.

The allowance for loan losses on portfolio loans was 1.23% of portfolio loans at June 30, 2016 compared to 1.25% at June 30, 2015 . Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio and coverage trends reflect relatively steady improvements in credit quality measures and classified loan levels. The reduction in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans over the prior year period is due to lower levels of nonperforming loans, as well as continued improvement in loss migration results.

Writedowns in fair value are recorded in Loan legal and other real estate expense based on current market activity shown in the appraisals. In the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company realized a net gain of $0.8 million from the sales of other real estate, primarily from the sale of a property related to PCI loans, and recorded these gains as part of Noninterest income.

Liabilities

Liabilities totaled $3.4 billion at June 30, 2016 , compared to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2015 . The increase in liabilities was largely due to a $244 million increase in total deposits, offset by a decrease of $32 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a decrease of $70 million in other borrowings.

Total deposits at June 30, 2016 were $3.0 billion , an increase of $244 million , or 9% , from December 31, 2015 . The increase in deposits within our brokered certificates of deposit was to provide for loan growth in the year. The composition of our noninterest bearing deposits remained relatively stable at 25% of total deposits at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 . Lower rates on time deposit balances and a change in composition modestly improved deposit costs during the first six months of 2016 to 0.35% , as compared to 0.40% for the same period in 2015 .

Core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding time deposits, were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2016 , an increase of $78 million , or 3% , from December 31, 2015 .

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity totaled $372 million at June 30, 2016 , an increase of $20.8 million from December 31, 2015 . Significant activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was as follows:

Net income of $23.4 million ,
Other comprehensive income of $5.3 million from the change in unrealized gains on investment securities,
Repurchase of 179,018 common shares for $4.7 million ,
Dividends paid on common shares of $3.8 million .

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure we have the ability to generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our commitments as they become due. Typical demands on liquidity are run-off from demand deposits, maturing time deposits which are not renewed, and fundings under credit

43



commitments to customers. Funds are available from a number of sources, such as from the core deposit base and from loans and securities repayments and maturities.

Additionally, liquidity is provided from sales of the securities portfolio, fed fund lines with correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Reserve and the FHLB, the ability to acquire large and brokered deposits, and the ability to sell loan participations to other banks. These alternatives are an important part of our liquidity plan and provide flexibility and efficient execution of the asset-liability management strategy.

The Bank's Asset-Liability Management Committee oversees our liquidity position, the parameters of which are approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. Our liquidity position is monitored monthly by producing a liquidity report, which measures the amount of liquid versus non-liquid assets and liabilities. Our liquidity management framework includes measurement of several key elements, such as the loan to deposit ratio, a liquidity ratio, and a dependency ratio. The Company's liquidity framework also incorporates contingency planning to assess the nature and volatility of funding sources and to determine alternatives to these sources. While core deposits and loan and investment repayments are principal sources of liquidity, funding diversification is another key element of liquidity management and is achieved by strategically varying depositor types, terms, funding markets, and instruments.

Parent Company liquidity
The parent company's liquidity is managed to provide the funds necessary to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries as necessary, and satisfy other operating requirements. The parent company's primary funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements are dividends and payments from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of equity (i.e. stock option exercises, stock offerings). Another source of funding for the parent company includes the issuance of subordinated debentures and other debt instruments.

The parent company currently has a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Revolving Agreement") with another bank allowing for borrowings up to $20 million . As of June 30, 2016 , there are no outstanding balances under the Revolving Agreement. Additionally, the Company received two quarterly dividends from the Bank of $2.5 million each as part of the Company's ongoing capital management.  Management believes the current level of cash at the holding company of $7.0 million will be sufficient to meet projected cash needs for at least the next year.

As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had $56.8 million of outstanding subordinated debentures as part of eight Trust Preferred Securities Pools. These securities are classified as debt but are included in regulatory capital and the related interest expense is tax-deductible, which makes them an attractive source of funding.

Bank liquidity
The Bank has a variety of funding sources available to increase financial flexibility. In addition to amounts currently borrowed, at June 30, 2016 the Bank has borrowing capacity of $310.7 million from the FHLB of Des Moines under blanket loan pledges, and has an additional $889.9 million available from the Federal Reserve Bank under a pledged loan agreement. The Bank has unsecured federal funds lines with five correspondent banks totaling $60.0 million .

Investment securities are another important tool to the Bank's liquidity objectives. Of the $478.5 million of the securities available for sale at June 30, 2016 , $336.8 million was pledged as collateral for deposits of public institutions, treasury, loan notes, and other requirements. The remaining $141.7 million could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity, if necessary.

In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Bank's various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company's liquidity. The Bank has $1.1 billion in unused commitments as of June 30, 2016 . While this commitment level would exhaust the majority the Company's current liquidity resources, the nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of funding them in the aggregate at any one time is low.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its bank affiliate must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The banking affiliate’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, Tier 1, and Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, banks must maintain minimum total risk-based (10%), Tier 1 risk-based (8%), Common equity tier 1 risk-based (6.5%), and Tier 1 leverage ratios (5%). As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The Bank continues to exceed regulatory standards and met the definition of “well-capitalized” (the highest category) at June 30, 2016 . The Company adopted the Regulatory Capital Framework (Basel III) in 2015, and has implemented the necessary processes and procedures to comply.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as Core net income and net interest margin, and other Core performance measures, regulatory capital ratios, and the tangible common equity ratio, in this report that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company considers its Core performance measures presented in this report and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of PCI loans and related income and expenses, the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company's operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures include contractual interest on PCI loans, but exclude incremental accretion on these loans. Core performance measures also exclude the Change in FDIC receivable, Gain or loss on sale of other real estate from PCI loans, and expenses directly related to PCI loans and other assets formerly covered under FDIC loss share agreements. Core performance measures also exclude certain other income and expense items, such as executive separation costs and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company's operating performance on an ongoing basis. The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company's capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance and capital strength. The Company's management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company's operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the following tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.

Critical Accounting Policies

The impact and any associated risks related to the Company's critical accounting policies on business operations are described throughout "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

49



ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” included in Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.

Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management practices are aimed at optimizing net interest income, while guarding against deterioration that could be caused by certain interest rate scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to maintain interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of both loans and investments, and interest-bearing liabilities, comprised primarily of deposits, maturing or repricing in similar time horizons in order to minimize or eliminate any impact from market interest rate changes. In order to measure earnings sensitivity to changing rates, the Company uses an earnings simulation model.

The Company determines the sensitivity of its short-term future earnings to a hypothetical plus or minus 100 to 300 basis point parallel rate shock through the use of simulation modeling. The simulation of earnings includes the modeling of the balance sheet as an ongoing entity. Future business assumptions involving administered rate products, prepayments for future rate-sensitive balances, and the reinvestment of maturing assets and liabilities are included. These items are then modeled to project net interest income based on a hypothetical change in interest rates. The resulting net interest income for the next 12-month period is compared to the net interest income amount calculated using flat rates. This difference represents the Company's earnings sensitivity to a plus or minus 100 basis points parallel rate shock.

The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income (due to the current level of interest rates, the 200 and 300 basis point downward shock scenarios are not shown):

Rate Shock
Annual % change
in net interest income
+ 300 bp
8.2%
+ 200 bp
5.7%
+ 100 bp
3.0%
- 100 bp

The Company occasionally uses interest rate derivative financial instruments as an asset/liability management tool to hedge mismatches in interest rate exposure indicated by the net interest income simulation described above. They are used to modify the Company's exposures to interest rate fluctuations and provide more stable spreads between loan yields and the rate on their funding sources. At June 30, 2016 , the Company had $3.5 million in notional amount of outstanding interest rate caps, to help manage interest rate risk.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, as of June 30, 2016 . Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of the objectives described above.

Changes to Internal Controls

There were no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.
