CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Exhibits, filings incorporated by reference, reports to shareholders, and other communications that represent the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions are made in good faith pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:

the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;

the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System;

inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;

the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and vice versa;

the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations, including laws about taxes, banking, securities, and insurance, and the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;

the impact of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and federal banking regulators’ continued implementation of programs to address capital and liquidity in the banking system;

further, future, and proposed rules, including those that are part of the process outlined in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems,” which require banking institutions to increase levels of capital;

technological changes;

the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;

the growth and profitability of noninterest, or fee, income being less than expected;

unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings;

changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and

the Company’s success at managing the risks mentioned above.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. If one or more of the factors affecting these forward-looking statements proves incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements. The Company does not intend to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, to reflect changes. These cautionary statements expressly qualify all forward-looking statements that apply to the Company including the risk factors presented in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, was founded in 1989 and incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 1997. The Company’s principal executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. The Company provides banking products and services to individual and commercial customers through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution founded in 1874. The Bank operates as First Community Bank in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and People’s Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee. The Bank provides insurance services through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Insurance Services (“FCIS”) and offers wealth management and investment advice through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”). Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices in the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of all operations, including commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, wealth management, and insurance services. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, and disclosures for a fair presentation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2017.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that require the most subjective or complex judgments relate to fair value measurements, investment securities, the allowance for loan losses, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) indemnification asset, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes. A discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 2 of this report.

Significant Accounting Policies

A complete and detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Standards

Standards Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Intangibles -- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment.” This ASU removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The update should be applied prospectively. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of the standard did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings.” This ASU requires registrants to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, additional qualitative disclosures should be considered to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the standard's impact on its financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2017-03 in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of the standard resulted in enhanced disclosures regarding the impact that recently issued accounting standards adopted in a future period will have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. See “Standards Not Yet Adopted” below.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation -- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance eliminates additional paid-in capital pools for equity-based awards and requires that the related income tax effects of awards be recognized in the income statement. The guidance also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis and elected to account for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. Excess tax benefits on share-based awards in the statements of cash flows in prior periods have not been adjusted. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation -- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2017-09 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Securities.” This ASU amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2017-08 in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This ASU intends to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit costs in the income statement and to narrow the amounts eligible for capitalization in assets. ASU 2017-07 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2017-07 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-18 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The update should be applied on a retrospective basis, if practicable. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments -- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU intends to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, the update amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2020 and recognize a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring more disclosures related to leasing transactions. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019. The Company leases certain banking offices under lease agreements it classifies as operating leases. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and expects an increase in assets and liabilities; however, the Company does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments -- Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for the instrument-specific credit risk provision. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect to recognize a significant cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption or expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements. The cumulative-effect adjustment will be dependent on the composition and fair value of the Company’s equity securities portfolio at the adoption date.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU’s core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under existing guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for the Company until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Additional revenue related standards to be adopted concurrently with ASU 2014-09 include ASU 2017-10, 2017-05, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-08. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09, and related updates, in the first quarter of 2018 and recognize a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company’s primary source of revenue is interest income, which is excluded from the scope of this guidance; however, the Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on other income, which includes fees for services, commissions on sales, and various deposit service charges. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its financial statements.

The Company does not expect other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

There were 45 individual securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2017, and their combined depreciation in value represented 0.52% of the investment securities portfolio. There were 82 individual securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2016, and their combined depreciation in value represented 1.51% of the investment securities portfolio.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for indications of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The initial indicator of OTTI for both debt and equity securities is a decline in fair value below book value and the severity and duration of the decline. For debt securities, the credit-related OTTI is recognized as a charge to noninterest income and the noncredit-related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred no OTTI charges on debt securities. Temporary impairment on debt securities is primarily related to changes in benchmark interest rates, changes in pricing in the credit markets, and other current economic factors. For equity securities, the OTTI is recognized as a charge to noninterest income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to equity securities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred OTTI charges related to certain equity holdings of $11 thousand.

The carrying amount of securities pledged for various purposes totaled $132.60 million as of June 30, 2017, and $139.75 million as of December 31, 2016.

Note 3. Loans

The Company groups loans held for investment into three segments (commercial loans, consumer real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are those loans acquired in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. Customer overdrafts reclassified as loans totaled $1.43 million as of June 30, 2017, and $1.41 million as of December 31, 2016. Deferred loan fees totaled $4.46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and $3.94 million for the same period of the prior year. For information about off-balance sheet financing, see Note 14, “Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Note 4. Credit Quality

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan in its portfolio. Loan risk ratings may be upgraded or downgraded to reflect current information identified during the loan review process. The general characteristics of each risk grade are as follows:

Pass -- This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on borrower characteristics that include capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity, leverage, and industry conditions.

Special Mention -- This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment may worsen.

Substandard -- This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, possible. These loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, or events outside the normal course of business to meet repayment terms.

Doubtful -- This grade is assigned to loans that have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.

Loss -- This grade is assigned to loans that will be charged off or charged down when payments, including the timing and value of payments, are uncertain. This risk grade does not imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off, either all or a portion of, the loan balance even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

The following tables present the recorded investment of the loan portfolio, by loan class and credit quality, as of the dates indicated. Losses on covered loans are generally reimbursable by the FDIC at the applicable loss share percentage, 80%; therefore, covered loans are disclosed separately.

The Company identifies loans for potential impairment through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, ongoing loan review, renewal processes, delinquency data, market communications, and public information. If the Company determines that it is probable all principal and interest amounts contractually due will not be collected, the loan is generally deemed impaired.

Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. There were no non-covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as of June 30, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Restructured loans in excess of $250 thousand are evaluated for a specific reserve based on either the collateral or net present value method, whichever is most applicable. Restructured loans under $250 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation at the historical loss rate for classified loans. Certain troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. PCI loans are generally not considered TDRs as long as the loans remain in the assigned loan pool. No covered loans were recorded as TDRs as of June 30, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

The following table presents loans modified as TDRs, by loan class and accrual status, as of the dates indicated:

Note 6. FDIC Indemnification Asset

In connection with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw in 2012, the Company entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC that covered $45.85 million of loans and $124 thousand of OREO as of June 30, 2017, compared to $56.99 million of loans and $276 thousand of OREO as of December 31, 2016. Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC agrees to cover 80% of most loan and foreclosed real estate losses and reimburse certain expenses incurred in relation to these covered assets. Loss share coverage expired June 30, 2017, for commercial loans, with recoveries continuing until June 30, 2019. Loss share coverage will expire June 30, 2022, for single family loans. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income include the expense on covered assets net of estimated reimbursements.

The FHLB may redeem callable advances at quarterly intervals, which could substantially shorten the advances’ lives. If called, the advance may be paid in full or converted into another FHLB credit product. Prepayment of an advance may result in substantial penalties based on the differential between the contractual note and current advance rate for similar maturities. The Company pledged certain loans to secure FHLB advances and letters of credit totaling $1.01 billion as of June 30, 2017. Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB totaled $509.23 million, net of FHLB letters of credit of $77.42 million, as of June 30, 2017. The FHLB letters of credit provide an attractive alternative to pledging securities for public unit deposits.

Investment securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements remain under the Company’s control during the agreements’ terms. The counterparties may redeem callable repurchase agreements, which could substantially shorten the borrowings’ lives. The prepayment or unwind of a repurchase agreement may result in substantial penalties based on market conditions.

The Company issued $15.46 million of junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) to FCBI Capital Trust (the “Trust”), an unconsolidated subsidiary, in October 2003 with an interest rate of three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.95% and a 30-year term ending in October 2033. The Trust purchased the Debentures through the issuance of trust preferred securities, which had substantially identical terms as the Debentures. Net proceeds from the offering were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company redeemed all $15.46 million of its trust preferred securities issued through the Trust.

In addition, the Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution with an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% that matures in April 2018. There was no outstanding balance on the line as of June 30, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of interest rate swaps. Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that fluctuations in external factors such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors will adversely affect economic value or net interest income.

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to modify its exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. These instruments are used to convert these fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the LIBOR rate falls below the loan’s stated fixed rate for a given period, the Company will owe the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. If LIBOR is above the stated rate for a given period, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as fair value hedging instruments; therefore, fair value changes in the derivative and hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period.

The Company’s interest rate swaps include a fourteen-year, $1.20 million notional interest rate swap agreement entered into in March 2015 and a fifteen-year, $4.37 million notional interest rate swap agreement entered into in February 2014. The swap agreements, which are accounted for as fair value hedges, and the loans hedged by the agreements are recorded at fair value. The fair value hedges were effective as of June 30, 2017.

Note 12. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value hierarchy ranks the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. The Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value might be highly subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, valuations may not be precise. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Available-for-Sale Securities . Securities available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of Level 1 securities is based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. The Company also uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities use fair value measurements from independent pricing services obtained by the Company. These fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and bond terms and conditions. The Company’s Level 2 securities include Treasury securities, single issue trust preferred securities, corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities, and certain equity securities that are not actively traded. Securities are based on Level 3 inputs when there is limited activity or less transparency to the valuation inputs. In the absence of observable or corroborated market data, internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions are used when such information is available.

Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current, or pricing variations are significant. For Level 3 securities, the Company obtains the cash flow of specific securities from third parties that use modeling software to determine cash flows based on market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security. The fair values of Level 3 securities are determined by applying proper market observable discount rates to the cash flow derived from third-party models. Discount rates are developed by determining credit spreads above a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, and adding premiums for illiquidity, which are based on a comparison of initial issuance spread to LIBOR versus a financial sector curve for recently issued debt to LIBOR. Securities with increased uncertainty about the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal specific credit premium based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of specific markets and the general economic indicators.

Loans Held for Investment . Loans held for investment are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current interest rates for loans with similar terms and borrower credit quality. Loans related to fair value hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities . Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These securities include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans, which are generally invested in Level 1 equity securities. The liability associated with these deferred compensation plans is carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities . Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company obtains dealer quotes, Level 2 inputs, based on observable data to value derivatives.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired Loans . Impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when repayment is expected solely from the sale of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is based on appraised value adjusted for customized discounting criteria, Level 3 inputs.

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. The impairment review includes obtaining third-party collateral valuations to help management identify potential credit impairment and determine the amount of impairment to record. The Company’s Special Assets staff manages and monitors all impaired loans. Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of identifying the initial potential impairment. The internal valuation compares the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and considers experience and expected liquidation costs. The Company typically receives a third-party valuation within thirty to forty-five days of completing the internal valuation. When a third-party valuation is received, it is reviewed for reasonableness. Once the valuation is reviewed and accepted, discounts are applied to fair market value, based on, but not limited to, our historical liquidation experience for like collateral, resulting in an estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific impairment reserve.

Specific reserves are generally recorded for impaired loans while third-party valuations are in process and for impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment. While waiting to receive the third-party appraisal, the Company regularly reviews the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments and begins the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare it for liquidation, including, but not limited to, engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower. Generally, the only difference between the current appraised value, less liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan, less the specific reserve, is any downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company deems appropriate, such as the costs to sell the property. Impaired loans that do not meet certain criteria and do not have a specific reserve have typically been written down through partial charge-offs to net realizable value. Based on prior experience, the Company rarely returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Credits identified as impaired move quickly through the process towards ultimate resolution, except in cases involving bankruptcy and various state judicial processes that may extend the time for ultimate resolution.

OREO . OREO is recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company calculates the fair value of OREO from current or prior appraisals that have been adjusted for valuation declines, estimated selling costs, and other proprietary qualitative adjustments that are deemed necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses various methodologies and assumptions to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments. A description of valuation methodologies used for instruments not previously discussed is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents . Cash and cash equivalents are reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Held-to-Maturity Securities . Securities held to maturity are reported at fair value using quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

FDIC Indemnification Asset . The FDIC indemnification asset is reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current discount rates.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable . Accrued interest receivable/payable is reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase . Deposits without a stated maturity, such as demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings, are reported at their carrying amount, the amount payable on demand as of the reporting date, which is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. Deposits and repurchase agreements with fixed maturities and rates are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available in the market for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities.

FHLB and Other Borrowings . FHLB and other borrowings are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities. Trust preferred obligations are reported at fair value using current credit spreads in the market for similar issues.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments . The Company believes that fair values of unfunded commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees are not meaningful; therefore, off-balance sheet instruments are not addressed in the fair value disclosures. The Company believes it is not feasible or practical to accurately disclose the fair values of off-balance sheet instruments due to the uncertainty and difficulty in assessing the likelihood and timing of advancing available proceeds, the lack of an established market for these instruments, and the diversity in fee structures. For additional information about the unfunded, contractual value of off-balance sheet financial instruments, see Note 14, “Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Note 14. Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims. While the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, the Company believes the resolution of these actions, singly or in the aggregate, should not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. If the other party to a financial instrument does not perform, the Company’s credit loss exposure is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn on, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of each customer on a case-by-case basis. Collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. The Company maintains a reserve for the risk inherent in unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, to secure the customer’s performance under certain letters of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

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

Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and other financial information included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”).

Executive Overview

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company, headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, that provides banking products and services through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia chartered bank institution. As of June 30, 2017, the Bank operated 44 branches as First Community Bank in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and as People’s Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee. Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, which is supplemented by fees for services, commissions on sales, and various deposit service charges. We fund our lending and investing activities primarily through the retail deposit operations of our branch banking network and, to a lesser extent, retail and wholesale repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings. We invest our funds primarily in loans to retail and commercial customers and various investment securities. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol FCBC.

The Bank offers commercial and personal insurance services through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Insurance Services (“FCIS”). Revenues are primarily derived from commissions paid by issuing companies on the sale of policies. As of June 30, 2017, FCIS operated 6 in-branch locations in Virginia and West Virginia. The Bank offers trust management, estate administration, and investment advisory services through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”). Revenues consist primarily of commissions on assets under management and investment advisory fees. As of June 30, 2017, the Trust Division and FCWM managed $926 million in combined assets under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent.

Our acquisition and divestiture activity during the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, included the sale of Greenpoint Insurance Agency Inc. on October 1, 2016, and the simultaneous sale of six branches to and purchase of seven branches from First Bank on July 15, 2016.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations may require management to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance. Due to the level of subjectivity and the susceptibility of such matters to change, actual results could differ significantly from management’s assumptions and estimates. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which are periodically evaluated, are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve, or when an asset or liability needs recorded based on the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices, when available, or third-party sources. When quoted prices or third-party information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.

Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this report. Our accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K and our critical accounting estimates are detailed in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Performance Overview

Highlights of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and financial condition as of June 30, 2017, include the following:

Net income available to common shareholders increased $163 thousand, or 2.61%, to $6.42 million and diluted earnings per share increased $0.02, or 5.56%, to $0.38 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016.

Net interest margin increased 24 basis points to 4.32%, and normalized net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.99% compared to the same quarter of 2016.

The Company’s book value per common share increased $0.55 to $20.50 compared to December 31, 2016.

The Company significantly exceeds regulatory “well capitalized” targets as of June 30, 2017.

Three-Month Comparison. Net income increased in the second quarter of 2017 due to decreases in noninterest expense and income tax and a slight increase in net interest income. These changes were offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Six-Month Comparison. Net income increased in the first six months of 2017 due to decreases in noninterest expense and the provision for loan losses and a slight increase in net interest income. These changes were offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in income tax.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, our largest contributor to earnings, is analyzed on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Three-Month Comparison . Net interest income comprised 80.28% of total net interest and noninterest income in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 75.52% in the same quarter of 2016. Net interest income on a GAAP basis increased $603 thousand, or 2.78%, and net interest income on a FTE basis increased $280 thousand, or 1.35%. Normalized net interest income on a FTE basis is a non-GAAP measure that excludes non-cash loan accretion income related to PCI loans. For additional information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Normalized net interest margin increased 18 basis points compared to an increase of 24 basis points on a FTE basis. Normalized net interest spread increased 19 basis points compared to an increase of 25 basis points on a FTE basis.

Average earning assets decreased $75.03 million, or 3.43%, primarily due to a decrease in securities available for sale offset by loan growth and an increase in interest-bearing deposits. The normalized yield on earning assets increased 11 basis points compared to an increase of 17 basis points on a GAAP basis. Average loans increased $68.01 million, or 3.83%, and the average loan to deposit ratio increased to 98.63% from 95.45%. The normalized yield on loans decreased 9 basis points compared to a decrease of 4 basis points on a GAAP basis. Non-cash accretion income increased $284 thousand, or 19.43%, as the effect of accretion income continued to decline from acquired portfolio attrition.

Average interest-bearing liabilities, which consist of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, decreased $88.12 million, or 5.32%, primarily due to a decline in average borrowings. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 8 basis points, largely driven by a decrease in the average balance of borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $27.68 million, or 1.98%, which was driven by a $47.75 million, or 14.07%, increase in average interest-bearing demand deposits offset by a $16.43 million, or 3.03%, decrease in average savings deposits, which include money market and savings accounts, and a $3.64 million, or 0.70%, decrease in average time deposits. Average borrowings decreased $115.81 million, or 45.02%, largely due to a $76.82 million, or 58.00%, decrease in average FHLB advances and other borrowings, a $25.00 million, or 50.00%, decrease in average wholesale repurchase agreements, a $9.07 million, or 99.94%, decrease in average federal funds purchased, and a $4.91 million, or 7.47%, decrease in average retail repurchase agreements.

Six-Month Comparison . Net interest income comprised 79.55% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first six months of 2017 compared to 74.14% in the same period of 2016. Net interest income on a GAAP basis increased $633 thousand, or 1.48%, and net interest income on a FTE basis increased $588 thousand, or 1.44%. Normalized net interest margin increased 20 basis points compared to an increase of 21 basis points on a FTE basis. Normalized net interest spread increased 20 basis points compared to an increase of 21 basis points on a FTE basis.

Average earning assets decreased $73.31 million, or 3.36%, primarily due to a decrease in securities available for sale offset by loan growth and an increase in interest-bearing deposits. The normalized yield on earning assets increased 13 basis points compared to an increase of 15 basis points on a GAAP basis. Average loans increased $88.23 million, or 5.03%, and the average loan to deposit ratio increased to 99.07% from 94.22%. The normalized yield on loans decreased 10 basis points compared to a decrease of 11 basis points on a GAAP basis. Non-cash accretion income decreased $29 thousand, or 00.01%, as the effect of accretion income continued to decline from acquired portfolio attrition.

Average interest-bearing liabilities, which consist of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, decreased $79.43 million, or 4.80%, primarily due to a decline in average borrowings. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 6 basis points, largely driven by a decrease in the average balance of borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $18.96 million, or 1.35%, which was driven by a $43.15 million, or 12.66%, increase in average interest-bearing demand deposits offset by a $13.31 million, or 2.47%, decrease in average savings deposits, which include money market and savings accounts, and a $10.89 million, or 2.07%, decrease in average time deposits. Average borrowings decreased $98.38 million, or 39.62%, largely due to a $59.14 million, or 49.19%, decrease in average FHLB advances and other borrowings, a $25.00 million, or 50.00%, decrease in average wholesale repurchase agreements, a $7.99 million, or 11.13%, decrease in average retail repurchase agreements, and a $6.25 million, or 99.95%, decrease in average federal funds purchased.

Provision for Loan Losses

Three-Month Comparison . The provision charged to operations increased $212 thousand, or 29.36%, to $934 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016, which was attributed to the non-PCI provision. For additional information, see “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section below.

Six-Month Comparison . The provision charged to operations decreased $483 thousand, or 25.30%, to $1.43 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016, which was attributed to the non-PCI provision.

Three-Month Comparison . Noninterest income comprised 19.72% of total net interest and noninterest income in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 24.48% in the same quarter of 2016. Noninterest income decreased $1.56 million, or 22.12%, primarily due to a decrease in insurance commissions resulting from the Greenpoint divestiture in the fourth quarter of 2016. Net negative amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset increased due to additional reserve provisions as loss share coverage expired June 30, 2017, for commercial loans. Other operating income increased primarily due to $459 thousand in death proceeds from bank owned life insurance. Excluding the impact from sales of securities and branches, net FDIC indemnification asset amortization, and bank owned life insurance proceeds, noninterest income decreased $1.19 million, or 14.07%, to $7.26 million in the second quarter of 2017, from $8.45 million in the same quarter of 2016.

Six -Month Comparison . Noninterest income comprised 20.45% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first six months of 2017 compared to 25.86% in the same period of 2016. Noninterest income decreased $3.77 million, or 25.23%, primarily due to a decrease in insurance commissions resulting from the Greenpoint divestiture in the fourth quarter of 2016. Net negative amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset increased due to additional reserve provisions as loss share coverage expired June 30, 2017, for commercial loans. Other operating income increased primarily due to $459 thousand in death proceeds from bank owned life insurance offset by the absence of a $357 thousand gain on the sale of closed branches in the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact from sales of securities and branches, net FDIC indemnification asset amortization, and bank owned life insurance proceeds, noninterest income decreased $2.86 million, or 16.70%, to $14.28 million in the first six months of 2017, from $17.15 million in the same period of 2016.

Three-Month Comparison . Noninterest expense decreased $1.26 million, or 6.75%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016, which was largely due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits decreased as full-time equivalent employees, calculated using the number of hours worked, decreased to 580 as of June 30, 2017, from 648 as of June 30, 2016, primarily due to the First Bank and Greenpoint transactions that occurred during the second half of 2016. We incurred expenses totaling $410 thousand related to the branch exchange with First Bank during the second quarter of 2016. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense decreased $40 thousand, or 1.62%, due to branch closures and divestitures that occurred during the prior year. Other operating expense included a $514 thousand increase in legal fees, a $120 thousand increase in interchange fees, and a $108 thousand property writedown. These increases were offset by a $34 thousand decrease in the net loss on sales and expenses related to other real estate owned (“OREO”) to $213 thousand from $247 thousand in the second quarter of 2016.

Six -Month Comparison . Noninterest expense decreased $3.00 million, or 7.98%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016, which was largely due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits decreased primarily due to the First Bank and Greenpoint transactions that occurred during the second half of 2016. We incurred expenses totaling $449 thousand related to the First Bank branch exchange during the first six months of 2016. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense decreased $328 thousand, or 6.44%, due to branch closures and divestitures that occurred during the prior year. Other operating expense included an $896 thousand increase in legal fees which were offset by a $417 thousand decrease in the net loss on sales and expenses related to OREO to $541 thousand from $958 thousand in the first six months of 2016.

Income Tax Expense

Three-Month Comparison . The Company’s effective tax rate, income tax as a percent of pre-tax income, may vary significantly from the statutory rate due to permanent differences and available tax credits. Permanent differences are income and expense items excluded by law in the calculation of taxable income. The Company’s most significant permanent differences generally include interest income on municipal securities and increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies. Income tax expense decreased $63 thousand, or 2.08%, and the effective tax rate increased 102 basis points to 31.56% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to an increase in tax-exempt revenue.

Six-Month Comparison . Income tax expense increased $63 thousand, or 1.06%, and the effective tax rate decreased 27 basis points to 32.27% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to an increase in tax-exempt revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide investors with important information useful in understanding our operational performance and comparing our financial measures with other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report include net interest income on a FTE basis and normalized net interest income on a FTE basis. While we believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance understanding of our business and performance, they are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared on a GAAP basis. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions. The reconciliations of these measures to GAAP measures are presented below.

We believe FTE basis is the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides better comparability between taxable and tax exempt amounts. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage the composition of our balance sheet. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income from certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35%. Normalized net interest income on a FTE basis is a non-GAAP measure that excludes non-cash loan accretion income related to PCI loans.

The following table reconciles net interest income and margin, as presented in our consolidated statements of income, to net interest income on a FTE basis for the periods indicated:

Financial Condition

Total assets as of June 30, 2017, decreased $19.80 million, or 0.83%, to $2.37 billion from $2.39 billion as of December 31, 2016. Total liabilities as of June 30, 2017, decreased $29.51 million, or 1.44%, to $2.02 billion from $2.05 billion as of December 31, 2016.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities are used to generate interest income through the employment of excess funds, to provide liquidity, to fund loan demand or deposit liquidation, and to pledge as collateral where required. The composition of our investment portfolio changes from time to time as we consider our liquidity needs, interest rate expectations, asset/liability management strategies, and capital requirements.

Available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2017, decreased $7.73 million, or 4.67%, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to the maturity and sale of municipal, single-issue trust preferred, and mortgage-backed Agency securities offset by the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities. The market value of securities available for sale as a percentage of amortized cost was 101.34% as of June 30, 2017, compared to 99.48% as of December 31, 2016. Held-to-maturity securities as of June 30, 2017, decreased $21.92 million, or 46.50%, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to the maturity of U.S. Agency securities. The market value of securities held to maturity as a percentage of amortized cost was 100.29% as of June 30, 2017, compared to 100.28% as of December 31, 2016.

Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges. We recognized no OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, or for the same periods of the prior year. We recognized no OTTI charges in earnings associated with equity securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. We recognized OTTI charges in earnings associated with certain equity securities of $11 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. For additional information, see Note 2, “Investment Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment, our largest component of interest income, are grouped into commercial, consumer real estate, and consumer and other loan segments. Each segment is divided into various loan classes based on collateral or purpose. Certain loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions are covered under loss share agreements (“covered loans”). Total loans held for investment, net of unearned income, as of June 30, 2017, decreased $10.84 million, or 0.59%, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to an $11.15 million, or 19.56%, decrease in covered loans due to continued runoff in the covered Waccamaw portfolio, offset by a $309 thousand, or 0.02%, increase in non-covered loans which was driven by the multi-family residential segment of the loan portfolio. For additional information, see Note 3, “Loans,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Risk Elements

We seek to mitigate credit risk by adhering to specific underwriting practices and by ongoing monitoring of our loan portfolio. Our underwriting practices include the analysis of borrowers’ prior credit histories, financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow projections; valuation of collateral based on independent appraisers’ reports; and verification of liquid assets. We believe our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various loan types we offer; however, losses may occur that exceed the reserves established in our allowance for loan losses. We track certain credit quality indicators that include: trends related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions. The Company’s loan review function generally analyzes all commercial loan relationships greater than $4.0 million annually and at various times during the year. Smaller commercial and retail loans are sampled for review during the year.

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accrual loans contractually past due 90 days or more, unseasoned troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and OREO. Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification due to changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, or resolution efforts. Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. For additional information, see Note 4, “Credit Quality,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

TDRs restructured within the past six months and nonperforming TDRs exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $82 thousand, $224 thousand, and $472 thousand for the periods ended June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.

(2)

TDRs with six months or more of satisfactory payment performance exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $1.51 million, $1.06 million, and $439 thousand for the periods ended June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.

(3)

Total TDRs exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $1.59 million, $1.28 million, and $911 thousand for the periods ended June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Non-covered nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2017, increased $4.28 million, or 26.79%, from December 31, 2016, due to an increase in non-covered nonaccrual loans. Non-covered nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2017, increased $4.29 million, or 27.07%, from December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, non-covered nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to single family owner occupied (58.48%) and non-farm, non-residential (18.49%) loans. As of June 30, 2017, approximately $909 thousand, or 4.51%, of non-covered nonaccrual loans were attributed to performing loans acquired in business combinations. Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to estimated realizable value or assigned specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses based on management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.

Non-covered delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $25.79 million as of June 30, 2017, an increase of $773 thousand, or 3.09%, compared to $25.02 million as of December 31, 2016. Non-covered delinquent loans as a percent of total non-covered loans totaled 1.44% as of June 30, 2017, which includes past due loans (0.32%) and nonaccrual loans (1.12%).

When restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we generally make concessions in interest rates, loan terms, or amortization terms. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming when modified and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. Accruing TDRs as of June 30, 2017, decreased $4.37 million, or 33.72%, to $8.59 million from December 31, 2016. Nonperforming accruing TDRs as of June 30, 2017, decreased $14 thousand, or 12.28%, to $100 thousand compared to December 31, 2016. Nonperforming accruing TDRs as a percent of total accruing TDRs totaled 1.16% as of June 30, 2017, compared to 0.88% as of December 31, 2016. Specific reserves on TDRs totaled $770 thousand as of June 30, 2017, compared to $670 thousand as of December 31, 2016.

Non-covered OREO, which is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost, decreased $1.20 million, or 23.39%, as of June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016. Non-covered OREO consisted of 28 properties with an average holding period of 13 months as of June 30, 2017. The net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $181 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $159 thousand for the same period of the prior year, and $422 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $821 thousand for the same period of the prior year.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by loans charged off. The provision for loan losses is calculated and charged to expense to bring the allowance to an appropriate level using a systematic process of measurement that requires significant judgments and estimates. As of December 31, 2016, our qualitative risk factors reflect a stable risk of loan losses due to consistent asset quality metrics and relatively stable business and economic conditions in our primary market areas. The loan portfolio is continually monitored for deterioration in credit, which may result in the need to increase the allowance for loan losses in future periods. Management considered the allowance adequate as of June 30, 2017; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance will not be required in future periods. For additional information, see Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2017, increased $938 thousand, or 5.23%, from December 31, 2016. The increase was largely attributed to a $1.00 million increase in unallocated reserves combined with a $268 thousand increase in specific reserves on impaired loans. The non-PCI allowance as a percent of non-covered loans totaled 1.05% as of June 30, 2017, compared to 1.00% as of December 31, 2016. PCI loans were aggregated into five loan pools as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016: Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples Bank of Virginia (“Peoples”) commercial, and Peoples residential. The cash flow analysis performed for the PCI loan pools as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, identified one pool as impaired with a cumulative impairment of $8 thousand. We recorded a net charge-off of $506 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net charge-off of $80 thousand in the same period of the prior year, largely due to an overall increase in charge-offs during the second quarter of 2017 offset by an increase in recoveries in the commercial loan segment during the second quarter of 2016. We recorded a net charge-off of $488 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net charge-off of $1.04 million in the same period of the prior year, largely due to an overall reduction in charge-offs for commercial and consumer real estate loans.

Total deposits as of June 30, 2017, increased $16.04 million, or 0.87%, compared to December 31, 2016. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $16.10 million and interest-bearing deposits increased $4.57 million while savings deposits, which include money market accounts and savings accounts, decreased $4.54 million; and time deposits, which include certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts, decreased $88 thousand as of June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016.

Borrowings

Total borrowings as of June 30, 2017, decreased $42.70 million, or 23.89%, compared to December 31, 2016. Short-term borrowings consisted of retail repurchase agreements, which decreased $11.99 million, or 12.25%, while the weighted average rate remained constant at 0.07%, as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

Long-term borrowings consisted of wholesale repurchase agreements and FHLB borrowings, including convertible and callable advances as of June 30, 2017. Wholesale repurchase agreements totaled $25.00 million with a weighted average rate of 3.18% as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016. Long-term FHLB borrowings decreased $15.00 million, or 23.08%, to $50.00 million and the weighted average rate decreased 4 basis points to 4.00% as of June 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016. The decrease was due to a $15.00 million convertible advance with a 4.15% rate that matured on May 4, 2017. The Company redeemed all of its trust preferred securities on January 9, 2017, resulting in a decrease of $15.46 million in subordinated debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to convert assets to cash or raise cash to meet financial obligations. We believe that liquidity management should encompass an overall balance sheet approach that draws together all sources and uses of liquidity. Poor or inadequate liquidity risk management may result in a funding deficit that could have a material impact on our operations. We maintain a liquidity risk management policy and contingency funding policy (“Liquidity Plan”) to detect potential liquidity issues and protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes various internal and external indicators that are reviewed on a recurring basis by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. ALCO reviews liquidity risk exposure and policies related to liquidity management; ensures that systems and internal controls are consistent with liquidity policies; and provides accurate reports about liquidity needs, sources, and compliance. The Liquidity Plan involves ongoing monitoring and estimation of potentially credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows during a funding crisis. The liquidity model incorporates various funding crisis scenarios and a specific action plan is formulated, and activated, when a financial shock that affects our normal funding activities is identified. Generally, the plan will reflect a strategy of replacing liability outflows with alternative liabilities, rather than balance sheet asset liquidity, to the extent that significant premiums can be avoided. If alternative liabilities are not available, outflows will be met through liquidation of balance sheet assets, including unpledged securities.

As a financial holding company, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends received from the Bank, which are subject to certain regulatory limitations. Other sources of liquidity include cash, investment securities, and borrowings. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s cash reserves and investment securities totaled $11.33 million and availability on an unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution totaled $15.00 million. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of June 30, 2017. The Company’s cash reserves and investments provide adequate working capital to meet obligations, projected dividends to shareholders, and anticipated debt repayments for the next twelve months.

In addition to cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions, we rely on customer deposits, cash flows from loans and investment securities, and lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window to meet potential liquidity demands. These sources of liquidity are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and our operations. Secondary sources of liquidity include approved lines of credit with correspondent banks and unpledged available-for-sale securities. As of June 30, 2017, our unencumbered cash totaled $106.80 million, unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled $509.23 million, available credit from the FRB Discount Window totaled $9.09 million, available lines from correspondent banks totaled $90.00 million, and unpledged available-for-sale securities totaled $25.25 million.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased $30.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a decrease of $7.49 million for the same period of the prior year primarily due to investing and financing activities. Net cash provided by investing activities increased $94.72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period of the prior year, which was largely due to a decrease in loan originations. Net cash used in financing activities increased $51.28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to the maturity and repayment of FHLB and other borrowings. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $5.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period of the prior year.

Capital Resources

We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material impact on our operations. Total stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2017, increased $9.72 million, or 2.87%, to $348.78 million from $339.06 million as of December 31, 2016. The change in stockholders’ equity was largely due to net income of $12.62 million and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of $2.01 million offset by dividends declared on our common stock of $5.44 million. OCI was primarily due to an increase in net unrealized gains on securities. In accordance with current regulatory guidelines, accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is largely excluded from stockholders' equity in the calculation of our capital ratios. We repurchased 10,602 shares of our common stock totaling $256 thousand in the first six months of 2017. Our book value per common share increased $0.55, or 2.76%, to $20.50 as of June 30, 2017, from $19.95 as of December 31, 2016.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Risk-based capital guidelines, issued by state and federal banking agencies, include balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet arrangements weighted by the risks inherent in the specific asset type. Our current risk-based capital requirements, based on the international capital standards known as Basel III, became effective on January 1, 2015, subject to a four-year phase-in period. Basel III’s capital conservation buffer became effective on January 1, 2016, at 0.625%, and will be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by an additional 0.625% each year until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). A description of the Basel III capital rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of the 2016 Form 10-K. Our current required capital ratios are as follows:

4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 5.75% including the capital conservation buffer)

6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 7.25% including the capital conservation buffer)

8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 9.25% including the capital conservation buffer)

4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (“Tier 1 leverage ratio”)

The following table presents our capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

13.54% 12.93%

Total risk-based capital ratio

Tier 1 leverage ratio

10.02% 9.71%

Our capital ratios as of June 30, 2017, increased from December 31, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in risk-weighted assets. As of June 30, 2017, we continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements and were classified as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes there have been no conditions or events since those notifications that would change the Bank’s classification. Additionally, our capital ratios were in excess of the minimum standards under the Basel III capital rules on a fully phased-in basis, if such requirements were in effect, as of June 30, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We extend contractual commitments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to financial instruments is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument.

Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to adverse changes in current and future cash flows, fair values, earnings, or capital due to movements in interest rates and other factors. Our profitability is largely dependent upon net interest income, which is subject to variation due to changes in the interest rate environment and unbalanced repricing opportunities. We are subject to interest rate risk when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reprice at differing times, when underlying rates change at different levels or in varying degrees, when there is an unequal change in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities, and when embedded options, if any, are exercised. ALCO reviews our mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment. ALCO is also responsible for overseeing the formulation and implementation of policies and strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and mitigate the effect of interest rate changes.

In order to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, we periodically review third-party and internal simulation models that project net interest income at risk, which measures the impact of different interest rate scenarios on net interest income, and the economic value of equity at risk, which measures potential long-term risk in the balance sheet by valuing our assets and liabilities at fair value under different interest rate scenarios. Simulation results show the existence and severity of interest rate risk in each scenario based on our current balance sheet position, assumptions about changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and estimated yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities. The simulation model provides the best tool available to us and the industry for managing interest rate risk; however, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income due to the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes; changes in market conditions and customer behavior; and changes in our strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock.

On June 14, 2017, the Federal Open Market Committee raised the benchmark federal funds rate 25 basis points to a range of 100 to 125 basis points. The following table presents the sensitivity of net interest income from immediate and sustained rate shocks in various interest rate scenarios over a twelve-month period for the periods indicated. Due to the current target rate, we do not reflect a decrease of more than 100 basis points from current rates in our analysis.

We have established policy limits for tolerance of interest rate risk in various interest rate scenarios and exposure limits to changes in the economic value of equity. As of June 30, 2017, exposure to interest rate risk is within our defined policy limits.

The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. As of June 30, 2017, we maintained interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $4.69 million to modify our exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. The fair value of the swap agreements, which are accounted for as fair value hedges and recorded as derivative liabilities, totaled $158 thousand as of June 30, 2017, and $167 thousand as of December 31, 2016. For additional information, see Note 9, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of results of operations and financial position in historical dollars. Inflation may cause a rise in price levels and changes in the relative purchasing power of money. These inflationary effects are not reflected in historical dollar measurements. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the price of goods and services; therefore, the effect of inflation on businesses with large investments in property, plant, and inventory is generally more significant than the effect on financial institutions. The U.S. inflation rate continues to be relatively stable, and management believes that any changes in inflation will not be material to our financial performance.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or management’s override of the controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each matter with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors

Our risk factors discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial performance. If any of the risks occur and the market price of our common stock declines significantly, individuals may lose all, or part, of their investment in our company. Individuals should carefully consider our risk factors and information included, or incorporated by reference, in this report before making an investment decision. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, our risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all risks we face. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2016 Form 10-K.
