NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (a Texas corporation) (“Bankshares”, “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a financial holding company which owns all of the capital stock of one bank with 78 locations located in Texas as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s subsidiary bank is First Financial Bank, N.A. The Company’s primary source of revenue is providing loans and banking services to consumers and commercial customers in the market area in which First Financial Bank, N.A. is located. In addition, the Company also owns First Financial Trust & Asset Management Company, N.A., First Financial Insurance Agency, Inc., First Technology Services, Inc. and First Financial Investments, Inc.
Basis of Presentation
A summary of significant accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying them are in conformity with both United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices of the banking industry.
The Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include its allowance for credit losses and its valuation of financial instruments.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Stock Repurchase
On March 12, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 4,000,000 common shares through September 30, 2021. Previously, the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 common shares through September 30, 2020. The stock repurchase plan authorizes management to repurchase and retire the stock at such time as repurchases and retirements are considered beneficial to the Company and stockholders. Any repurchase of stock will be made through the open market, block trades or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Under the repurchase plan, there is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase. Through March 31, 2021, 324,802 shares were repurchased and retired (all during the months of March and April 2020) totaling $ 8,008,000 under this repurchase plan.

Acquisition
On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired 100 % of the outstanding capital stock of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary with and into TB&T Bancshares, Inc. Following such merger, TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas were merged into the Company and First Financial Bank, N.A., respectively. The results of operations of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. subsequent to the acquisition date, are included in the consolidated earnings of the Company. See Note 10 for additional information.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2020, ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, became effective for the Company. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) replaced the previous “incurred loss” model for measuring credit losses with an unexpected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and
held-to-maturity
debt securities. It also applies to
off-balance-sheet
(“OBS”) credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments). In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for
available-for-sale
debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down on
available-for-sale
debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed by the President of the United States that included an option for entities to delay the implementation of ASC 326 until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declaration by the President or December 31, 2020. Under this option, the Company elected to delay its implementation of CECL and calculated and recorded the provision for credit losses through the nine-months ended September 2020 under the incurred loss model. At December 31, 2020, the Company elected to adopt ASC 326, effective as of January 1, 2020, through a transition charge to retained earnings of $ 589 ,000 ($ 466 ,000 net of applicable income taxes). This transition adjustment was comprised of a decrease of $ 619,000 in allowance for credit losses and an increase of $ 1,208,000 in the reserve for unfunded commitments.
With the adoption of ASC 326, we revised certain accounting policies and implemented certain accounting policy elections which are described below. For the 2020 interim reporting periods, the allowance for credit losses were based on the incurred loss methodology in accordance with accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2019 Form
10-K.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investment in leases and OBS credit exposures.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date of ASC 326. The effective interest rate on these debt securities was not changed.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC
310-30.
In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. For the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, amounts related to the Company’s PCD and PCI loans were insignificant and disclosures related to these balances have been omitted.

Investment Securities
Management classifies debt securities as
held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale,
or trading based on its intent. Securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as
held-to-maturity
and recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method. Securities not classified as
held-to-maturity
or trading are classified as
available-for-sale
and recorded at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses (those for which no allowance for credit losses are recorded) reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase.
11

Table of Contents
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and discounts over the period to maturity using a level-yield method, except for premiums on callable securities, which are amortized to their earliest call date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on the sale of securities in noninterest income.
The Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of securities and report accrued interest separately in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. A security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. There was no accrued interest related to securities reversed against interest income for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Company records its
available-for-sale
securities portfolio at fair value. Fair values of these securities are determined based on methodologies in accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance. Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of factors, including market interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, credit ratings and yield curves. Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on the quoted prices of similar instruments or an estimate of fair value by using a range of fair value estimates in the marketplace as a result of the illiquid market specific to the type of security.
The Company’s investment portfolio currently consists of obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage pass-through securities, corporate bonds and general obligation or revenue based municipal bonds. Pricing for such securities is generally readily available and transparent in the market. The Company utilizes independent third-party pricing services to value its investment securities, which the Company reviews as well as the underlying pricing methodologies for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with pricing matrices. The Company validates prices supplied by the independent pricing services by comparison to prices obtained from other third-party sources on a quarterly basis.
Allowance for Credit Losses –
Available-for-Sale
Securities
For
available-for-sale
securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, any previously recognized allowances are
charged-off
and the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income as a provision for credit losses. For
available-for-sale
securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Management has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on
available-for-sale
securities from the estimate of credit losses. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit losses.
Available-for-sale
securities are
charged-off
against the allowance or, in the absence of any allowance, written down through income when deemed uncollectible by management or when either of the aforementioned criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
12

Table of Contents
Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that were deemed to be other-than-temporary were reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses prior to the adoption, management considered, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value had been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and our ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. ​​​​​​​
Allowance
for Credit Losses – Held-to-Maturity
Securities
The allowance for credit losses on
held-to-maturity
securities is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of
held-to-maturity
securities to present management’s best estimate of the net amount expected to be collected.
Held-to-maturity
securities are
charged-off
against the allowance when deemed uncollectible by management. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of credit loss expense. Management measures expected credit losses on
held-to-maturity
securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on
held-to-maturity
securities from the estimate of credit losses.
At March 31, 2021, 2020 and December 31, 2020, the Company held no securities that were classified as
held-to-maturity.
Loans
Held-for-Investment
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, fair value hedge accounting adjustments, deferred loan fees and costs. The Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of loans and report accrued interest separately from the related loan balance in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding. The Company defers and amortizes net loan origination fees and costs as an adjustment to yield.
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. In determining whether or not a borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations for each class of loans, we consider the borrower’s debt service capacity through the analysis of current financial information, if available, and/or current information with regards to our collateral position. Regulatory provisions would typically require the placement of a loan on nonaccrual status if principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured.
Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, loans were reported as impaired when, based on then current information and events, it was probable we would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments.
13

Table of Contents
Impairment was evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan was impaired, a specific valuation allowance was allocated, if necessary, so that the loan was reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment was expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans were typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount was reasonably assured, in which case interest was recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, were charged off when deemed uncollectible.
Further information regarding our accounting policies related to past due loans, nonaccrual loans and troubled-debt restructurings is presented in Note 3.
Acquired Loans
Loans acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. The allowance for credit losses related to the acquired loan portfolio is not carried over. Acquired loans are classified into two categories based on the credit risk characteristics of the underlying borrowers as either purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans, or loans with no evidence of credit deterioration
(“non-PCD”).
PCD loans are defined as a loan or pool of loans that have experienced more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since the origination date. The Company uses a combination of individual and pooled review approaches to determine if acquired loans are PCD. At acquisition, the Company considers a number of factors to determine if an acquired loan or pool of loans has experienced more-than-insignificant credit deterioration.
The initial allowance related to PCD loans that share similar risk characteristics is established using a pooled approach. The Company uses either a discounted cash flow or weighted average remaining life method to determine the required level of the allowance. PCD loans that were classified as nonaccrual as of the acquisition date and are collateral dependent are assessed for allowance on an individual basis.
For PCD loans, an initial allowance is established on the acquisition date and combined with the fair value of the loan to arrive at acquisition date amortized cost.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, the initial allowance for credit losses on PCD loans will increase or decrease based on future evaluations, with changes recognized in the provision for credit losses.
Non-PCD
loans are pooled into segments together with originated loans that share similar risk characteristics and have an allowance established on the acquisition date, which is recognized in the current period provision for credit losses.
Determining the fair value of the acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest payment cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition-date fair value including the remaining life, interest rate profile, market interest rate environment, payment schedules, risk ratings, probability of default and loss given default, and estimated prepayment rates. For PCD loans, the
non-credit
discount or premium is allocated to individual loans as determined by the difference between the loan’s unpaid principal balance and amortized cost basis. The
non-credit
premium or discount is recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loan. For
non-PCD
loans, the fair value discount or premium is allocated to individual loans and recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loan.
Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, loans acquired in a business combination that had evidence of credit impairment and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable were considered PCI. PCI loans were accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics such as credit grade, loan type, and date of origination.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The allowance for credit losses (“allowance” or “ACL”) is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans. The ACL represents an amount which, in management’s judgement, is adequate to absorb the lifetime expected credit losses that may be experienced on outstanding loans at the balance sheet date based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions and prepayment experience. The allowance for credit losses is measured and recorded upon the initial recognition of a financial asset. Determination of the adequacy of the allowance is inherently complex and requires the use of significant and highly subjective estimates. Loans are
charged-off
against the allowance when deemed uncollectible by management. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously
charged-off
and expected to be
charged-off.
Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of the provision for credit losses. Management has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses.
The Company’s methodology for estimating the allowance includes: (1) a collective quantified reserve that reflects the Company’s historical default and loss experience adjusted for expected economic conditions throughout a reasonable and supportable forecast period, including the Company’s expected prepayment and curtailment rates; (2) collective qualitative factors that consider concentrations of the loan portfolio, expected changes to the economic forecasts, large relationships, early delinquencies, and factors related to credit administrations, including, among others,
loan-to-value
ratios, borrowers’ risk rating and credit score migrations; and (3) individual allowances on loans where borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty or when the Company determines that the foreclosure is probable.
In calculating the allowance for credit losses, most loans are segmented into pools based upon similar characteristics and risk profiles. Common characteristics and risk profiles include the type/purpose of loan, underlying collateral, geographical similarity and historical/expected credit loss patterns. In developing these loan pools for the purposes of modeling expected credit losses, we also analyzed the degree of correlation in how loans within each portfolio respond when subjected to varying economic conditions and scenarios as well as other portfolio stress factors. For modeling purposes, our loan portfolio segments include Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”), Municipal, Agricultural, Construction and Development, Farm,
Non-Owner
Occupied and Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”), Residential, Consumer Auto and Consumer
Non-Auto.
We periodically reassess each pool to ensure the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary. Refer to Note 3 for more details on the Company’s portfolio segments.
The Company applies two methodologies to estimate the allowance on its pooled portfolio segments; discounted cash flows method and weighted average remaining life method. Allowance estimates on the following portfolio segments are calculated using the discounted cash flows method: C&I, Municipal, Construction and Development, Farm,
Non-Owner
Occupied and Owner Occupied CRE and Residential. Allowance estimates on the following portfolio segments are calculated using the remaining life method: Agriculture, Consumer Auto and Consumer
Non-Auto.
The models related to these methodologies utilize the Company’s historical default and loss experience adjusted for future economic forecasts. The reasonable and supportable forecast period represents a
one-year
economic outlook for the applicable economic variables. Following the end of the reasonable and supportable forecast period expected losses revert back to the historical mean over the next two years on a straight-line basis. Economic variables that have the most significant impact on the allowance include; Texas unemployment rate, Texas house price index and Texas retail sales index. Contractual loan level cash flows within the discounted cash flows methodology are adjusted for the Company’s historical prepayment and curtailment rate experience.

Table of Contents
In some cases, management may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate the loan from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk rating of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management’s assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. We reevaluate the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans on an ongoing basis.
Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not considered within our modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These qualitative factor
(“Q-Factor”)
adjustments may increase or decrease management’s estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk. The various risks that may be considered in making
Q-Factor
adjustments include, among other things, the impact of (i) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries, (ii) actual and expected changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the loan pools, (iii) changes in the nature, volume and size of a loan or the loan pools and in the terms of the underlying loans, (iv) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of our lending management and staff, (v) changes in volume and severity of past due financial assets, the volume of nonaccrual assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded assets, (vi) changes in the quality of our credit review function, (vii) changes in the value of the underlying collateral for loans that are
non-collateral
dependent, (viii) the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit and (ix) other factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments; competition; and events such as natural disasters or health pandemics.
Management believes it uses relevant information available to make determinations about the allowance and that it has established the existing allowance in accordance with GAAP. However, the determination of the allowance requires significant judgment, and estimates of expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio can vary significantly from the amounts actually observed. While management uses available information to recognize expected losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in the loans comprising the portfolio, changes in the current and forecasted economic conditions, changes to the interest rate environment which may directly impact prepayment and curtailment rate assumptions, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.
The adoption of the CECL standard did not result in a significant change to any other credit risk management and monitoring processes, including identification of past due or delinquent borrowers, nonaccrual practices, assessment of troubled debt restructurings or
charge-off
policies.
Allowance for Credit Losses -
Off-Balance-Sheet/Reserve
for Unfunded Commitments
The allowance for credit losses on
off-balance-sheet
credit exposures is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which we are exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. These obligations include unfunded lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and federal funds sold to correspondent banks and standby letters of credit. No allowance is recognized if we have the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. The allowance is reported as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of the provision for credit losses. At March 31, 2021, 2020 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $ 6,918,000 , $ 809,000 and $ 5,486,000 , respectively.

Other Real Estate
Other real estate owned is foreclosed property held pending disposition and is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. At foreclosure, if the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell, is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the related loan, a write-down is recognized through a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income. Operating and holding expenses of such properties, net of related income, and gains and losses on their disposition are included in net gain (loss) on sale of foreclosed assets as incurred.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the respective lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for all business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives represent the future benefit associated with the acquisition of the core deposits and are amortized over seven years , utilizing a method that approximates the expected attrition of the deposits. Goodwill with an indefinite life is not amortized, but rather tested annually for impairment as of June 30 each year. There was no impairment recorded for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020, respectively.
Securities Sold Under Agreements To Repurchase
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of the cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the estimated fair value of the underlying securities.
Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that its banking regions meet the aggregation criteria of the current authoritative accounting guidance since each of its banking regions offer similar products and services, operate in a similar manner, have similar customers and report to the same regulatory authority, and therefore operate one line of business (community banking) located in a single geographic area (Texas).
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks, including interest-bearing demand deposits in banks with original maturity of 90 days or less , and federal funds sold.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss)
Unrealized net gains on the Company’s
available-for-sale
securities (after applicable income taxes) totaling $ 117,009,000 , $ 123,576,000 and $ 170,395,000 at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, respectively, are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on income before income taxes adjusted for permanent differences between financial reporting and taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the grant date. The grant date fair value is amortized over the vesting period which generally is six years. The Company also grants restricted stock for a fixed number of shares. The grant date fair value is amortized over the vesting period which generally is one to three years. See Note 8 for further information.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Per Share Data
Net earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company calculates dilutive EPS assuming all outstanding stock options to purchase common shares and unvested restricted stock shares have been exercised and/or vested at the beginning of the year (or the time of issuance, if later.) The dilutive effect of the outstanding options and restricted stock is reflected by application of the treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds from the exercised options and unearned compensation for both restricted stock and stock options are assumed to be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the respective period. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The following table reconciles the computation of basic EPS to diluted EPS:

The Company invests in mortgage-backed securities that have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without a prepayment penalty. These securities include collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other asset backed securities. The expected maturities of these securities at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, were computed by using scheduled amortization of balances and historical prepayment rates.

The number of investments in an unrealized loss position totaled 149 at March 31, 2021. Any unrealized losses in the obligations of state and political subdivisions, residential and commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed investment securities at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, are due to changes in interest rates and not credit-related events. As such, no allowance for credit losses is required at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020. Unrealized losses on investment securities are expected to recover over time as these securities approach maturity. Our mortgage related securities are backed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC or are collateralized by securities backed by these agencies. At March 31, 2021, 77.27 % of our
available-for-sale
securities that are obligations of states and political subdivisions were issued within the State of Texas, of which 52.70 % are guaranteed by the Texas Permanent School Fund.
At March 31, 2021, $ 3,103,077,000 of the Company’s securities were pledged as collateral for public or trust fund deposits, repurchase agreements, a borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
During the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, sales of investment securities that were classified as
available-for-sale
totaled $ 10,631 ,000 and $ 95,437 ,000, respectively. Gross realized gains from security sales during the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 totaled $ 808,000 and $ 2,062,000 , respectively. There were no gross realized losses from security sales during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The specific identification method was used to determine cost in order to compute the realized gains and losses.

From a credit risk standpoint, the Company rates its loans in one of five categories: (i) pass, (ii) special mention, (iii) substandard, (iv) doubtful or (v) loss (which are
charged-off).
The ratings of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. The Company reviews the ratings on our credits as part of our
on-going
monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio. Ratings are adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss that are felt to be inherent in each credit as of each reporting period. Our methodology is structured so that specific allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).
Credits rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in credit worthiness, however, such concerns are not so pronounced that the Company generally expects to experience significant loss within the short-term. Such credits typically maintain the ability to perform within standard credit terms and credit exposure is not as prominent as credits rated more harshly.
Credits rated substandard are those in which the normal repayment of principal and interest may be, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or important weaknesses exist in collateral. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed.

Table of Contents
Credits rated doubtful are those in which full collection of principal appears highly questionable, and which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may not yet be certain and/or other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss. Credits rated doubtful are generally also placed on nonaccrual.

The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules, reductions in collateral and other actions intended to minimize potential losses.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, no loans were modified as a troubled debt restructured loan within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default. A default for purposes of this disclosure is a troubled debt restructured loan in which the borrower is 90 days past due or more or results in the foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has
no
commitments to lend additional funds to loan customers whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Note 4 - Loans
Held-for-Sale
Loans
held-for-sale
totaled $ 65,405 ,000, $ 42,034 ,000 and $ 83,969 ,000 at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, respectively. At March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, $ 3,894,000 , $ 2,375,000 and $ 4,384,000 are valued at the lower of cost or fair value, and the remaining amounts are valued under the fair value option.
These loans, which are sold on a servicing released basis, are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of the securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures (see Note 9). Interest income on mortgage loans
held-for-sale
is recognized based on the contractual rates and reflected in interest income on loans in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company has no continuing ownership in any residential mortgage loans sold.
The Company originates certain mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. The mortgage loan sales contracts contain indemnification clauses should the loans default, generally in the first three to six months, or if documentation is determined not to be in compliance with regulations. The Company’s historic losses as a result of these indemnities have been insignificant.
Note 5 - Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with customers to originate residential mortgage loans at a specific interest rate that are ultimately sold in the secondary market. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by the Company.
The Company purchases forward mortgage-backed securities contracts to manage the changes in fair value associated with changes in interest rates related to a portion of the IRLCs. These instruments are typically entered into at the time the IRLC is made in the aggregate.
These financial instruments are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. All derivatives are carried at fair value in either other assets or other liabilities, through earnings in the statement of earnings.
The fair values of IRLCs are based on current secondary market prices for underlying loans and estimated servicing value with similar coupons, maturity and credit quality, subject to the anticipated loan funding probability (pull-through rate) net of estimated costs to originate the loan. The fair value of IRLCs is subject to change primarily due to changes in interest rates and the estimated pull-through rate. These commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures (see Note 9), as the valuations are based on observable market inputs.
Forward mortgage-backed securities contracts are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract and these instruments are therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures (see Note 9). The estimated fair values are subject to change primarily due to changes in interest rates. The impact of these forward contracts is included in gain on sale and fees on mortgage loans in the statement of earnings.

$ 523,254 $ 410,146 $ 412,743

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas
446,000
Total
$ 548,604 $ 857,871 $ 430,093
Securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally with significant customers of the Company that require short-term liquidity for their funds for which the Company pledges certain securities that have a fair value equal to at least the amount of the borrowings. The agreements mature daily and therefore the risk arising from a decline in the fair value of the collateral pledged is minimal. The securities pledged are mortgage-backed securities. These agreements do not include “right of
set-off”
provisions and therefore the Company does not offset such agreements for financial reporting purposes.
Note 7 – Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $ 11,054 ,000 for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to $ 7,234 ,000 for the same period in 2020. The Company’s effective tax rates on pretax income were 16.26 % and 16.27 % for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal tax rate of 21 % primarily due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans, the deductibility of dividends paid to our employee stock ownership plan and excess tax benefits related to our directors’ deferred compensation plan.

Note 9 - Fair Value Disclosures
The authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact.
The authoritative accounting guidance requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those
39

Table of Contents
that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Securities classified as
available-for-sale
and trading are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include market spreads, cash flows, the United States Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, dealer quotes, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other items.
See Notes 4 and 5 related to the determination of fair value for loans
held-for-sale,
IRLCs and forward mortgage-backed securities trades.
There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the year ended December 31, 2020.
The following table summarizes the Company’s

Certain
non-financial
assets and
non-financial
liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include other real estate owned, goodwill and other intangible assets and other
non-financial
long-lived assets.
Non-financial
assets measured at fair value on a
non-recurring
basis during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 include other real estate owned which, subsequent to their initial transfer to other real estate owned from loans, were
re-measured
at fair value through a write-down included in gain (loss) on sale of foreclosed assets. During the reported periods, all fair value measurements for foreclosed assets utilized Level 2 inputs based on observable market data, generally third-party appraisals, or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. These appraisals are evaluated individually and discounted as necessary due to the age of the appraisal, lack of comparable sales, expected holding periods of property or special use type of the property. Such discounts vary by appraisal based on the above factors but generally range from 5 % to 25 % of the appraised value.
Re-evaluation
of other real estate owned is performed at least annually as required by regulatory guidelines or more often if particular circumstances arise. There were no other real estate owned properties that were
re-measured
subsequent to their initial transfer to other real estate owned during the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
At March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, other real estate owned totaled $ 255,000 , $ 982,000 and $ 119,000 , respectively.
The Company is required under current authoritative accounting guidance to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities including those subject to the requirements discussed above. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, substantially all of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of the Company’s financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction.
42

Table of Contents
The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.
Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits and time deposits in banks and accrued interest receivable and payable are liquid in nature and considered Levels 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Financial instruments with stated maturities have been valued using a present value discounted cash flow with a discount rate approximating current market for similar assets and liabilities and are considered Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial instrument liabilities with no stated maturities have an estimated fair value equal to both the amount payable on demand and the carrying value and are considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company’s contractual
off-balance-sheet
unfunded lines of credit, loan commitments and letters of credit, which are generally priced at market at the time of funding, are not material.

On January 1, 2020, the transaction was completed. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 6,275,574 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. In addition, TBT Bancshares, Inc. made a $ 1,920,000 special dividend to its shareholders prior to closing of the transaction.
At closing, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged into TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and immediately thereafter TB&T Bancshares, Inc. was merged into the Company and The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas, was merged into First Financial Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The primary purpose of the acquisition was to expand the Company’s market share near the Houston market.

Introduction
As a financial holding company, we generate most of our revenue from interest on loans and investments, trust fees, gain on sale of mortgage loans and service charges. Our primary source of funding for our loans and investments are deposits held by our subsidiary, First Financial Bank, N.A. Our largest expense are salaries and related employee benefits. We measure our performance by calculating our return on average assets, return on average equity, regulatory capital ratios, net interest margin and efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income.
The following discussion and analysis of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in Item 1 of this Form
10-Q
as well as those included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Recent Coronavirus Developments
During March 2020, the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the President of the United States. The spread of COVID has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve across the State of Texas. National, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic have included orders to close or limit businesses activity not deemed essential and directing individuals to limit their movements and travel, observe social distancing, and shelter in place. These actions, together with responses to the pandemic by businesses and individuals, have resulted in decreases in commercial and consumer activity. These responses and restrictions have led to a loss of revenues for certain industries and a sudden increase in unemployment, volatility in oil and gas prices and in business valuations, market downturns and volatility, changes in consumer behaviors, related emergency response legislation and an expectation that Federal Reserve policy will maintain a low interest rate environment for the foreseeable future.
The following is an update on our response through the date of filing:
Currently, the Company is assisting borrowers in the second round of the PPP under the December 2020 Bipartisan-Bicameral Omnibus COVID Relief Deal. Through March 31, 2021, we had funded approximately 8,500 PPP loans in total from both the first and second rounds of PPP loans totaling $920.13 million. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s total PPP loans have an outstanding balance of $531.81 million following repayments and forgiveness by the SBA. We did not participate in the PPP Facility program.
We are continuing to encourage our employees to take the COVID vaccinations when available and allowing employees and customers to wear a mask on an optional basis based on their preferences.
Recent actions taken by the U.S. government to further mitigate the economic effects of COVID will also have an impact on our financial position and results of operations. These actions are further discussed below.
During the first quarter of 2021, President Biden signed a number of executive orders relating to stimulus and relief measures. These orders include, among other things, (i) an extension, through March 31, 2021, of the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures, (ii) an extension, through September 30, 2021, of the deferral of federal student loan payments and interest and (iii) an extension, through June 30, 2021, of certain mortgage forbearance programs and guidelines.
48

Table of Contents
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “ARP Act”) was enacted, implementing a $1.9 trillion package of stimulus and relief proposals. Among other things, the ARP Act provides (i) additional funding for the PPP program and an expansion of the program for the benefit of certain nonprofits, (ii) funding for the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to make targeted grants for restaurants and similar establishments, (iii) direct cash payments of up to $1,400 to individuals, subject to income provisions, (iv) an increase in the maximum annual Child Tax Credit, subject to income limitation provisions, (v) $300 a week in expanded unemployment insurance lasting through September 6, 2021 and makes $10,200 in unemployment benefits tax free for households, subject to income limitation provisions, (vi) tax relief making any student loan forgiveness incurred between December 31, 2020, and January 1, 2026
non-taxable
income, and (vii) funding to support state and local governments;
K-12
schools and higher education; the Centers for Disease Control; public transit; rental assistance; child care; and airline industry workers.
On March 27, 2021, the
COVID-19
Bankruptcy Relief Extension Act of 2021 was enacted, extending the bankruptcy relief provisions enacted in the CARES Act of 2020 bill until March 27, 2022. These provisions provide financially distressed small businesses and individuals greater access to bankruptcy relief.
On March 30, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was enacted, extending the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) from its previous expiration date of March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021. Beginning June 1, 2021, the SBA may only process applications submitted prior to that date, and it may not accept any new loan applications. We are continuing to monitor the potential development of additional legislation and further actions taken by the U.S. government.
Notwithstanding the foregoing actions, the COVID outbreak could still, among other things, greatly affect our routine and essential operations due to staff absenteeism, particularly among key personnel, further limit access to or result in further closures of our branch facilities and other physical offices, exacerbate operational, technical or security-related risks arising from a remote workforce, and result in adverse government or regulatory agency orders. The business and operations of our third-party service providers, many of whom perform critical services for our business, could also be significantly impacted, which in turn could impact us. As a result, we are currently unable to fully assess or predict the extent of the effects of COVID on our operations as the ultimate impact will depend on factors that are currently unknown and/or beyond our control.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare consolidated financial statements based on generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and customary practices in the banking industry. These policies, in certain areas, require us to make significant estimates and assumptions.
We deem a policy critical if (1) the accounting estimate required us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time we make the accounting estimate; and (2) different estimates that reasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on the financial statements.
We deem our most critical accounting policies to be (1) our allowance for credit losses and our provision for credit losses and (2) our valuation of financial instruments. We have other significant accounting policies and continue to evaluate the materiality of their impact on our consolidated financial statements, but we believe these other policies either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are difficult or subjective, or it is less likely they would have a material impact on our reported results for a given period. A discussion of (1) our allowance for credit losses and our provision for credit losses and (2) our valuation of financial instruments is included in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 10. Additional detailed information is included in Notes 4 and 5 to our notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and should be read in conjunction with this analysis.

Stock Repurchase
On March 12, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 4.00 million common shares through September 30, 2021. Previously, the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 2.00 million common shares through September 30, 2020. The stock repurchase plan authorizes management to repurchase and retire the stock at such time as repurchases are considered beneficial to the Company and its stockholders. Any repurchase of stock will be made through the open market, block trades or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Under the repurchase plan, there is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase. Through March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased and retired 324,802 shares (all during the months of March and April of 2020) totaling $8.01 million under this repurchase plan.
Acquisition
On September 19, 2019, we entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization to acquire TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas. On January 1, 2020, the transaction was completed. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 6.28 million shares of the Company’s common shares in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. In addition, in accordance with the plan of reorganization, TB&T Bancshares, Inc. paid a special dividend totaling $1.92 million to its shareholders prior to the closing of this transaction. At the closing, Brazos Merger Sub., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged into TB&T Bancshares Inc., with TB&T Bancshares, Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately following such merger, TB&T Bancshares, Inc. was merged into the Company and The Bank & Trust of Bryan/College Station, Texas was merged into First Financial Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The total purchase price of $220.27 million exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired by $141.92 million and the Company recorded such excess as goodwill. The balance sheet and results of operations of TB&T Bancshares, Inc. have been included in the financial statements of the Company effective January 1, 2020. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information and disclosure.
Participation in PPP Loan Program
The Company elected to participate in the first and second rounds of PPP loan program processing a total of 8,546 loans and funded $920.13 million from March 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021. The Company received fees totaling approximately $26.26 million and incurred incremental direct origination costs of $3.62 million related to the first round of PPP loans from March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2020, both of which have been deferred and are being amortized over the shorter of the repayment period or 24 months, the contractual life of these loans. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized $6.25 million in interest income related to PPP loan fees. The remainder of the PPP loan deferred fees totaled approximately $16 million at March 31, 2021, including approximately $11 million for 2021 originations for the second round of PPP loans. These remaining deferred fees related to the second round of PPP loans will be amortized over the shorter of the repayment period or the contractual life of 60 months. Additional information related to the Company’s PPP loan balances are included in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Implementation of New Accounting Standard for Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, became effective for the Company. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) replaced the previous “incurred loss” model for measuring credit losses with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and
held-to-maturity
debt securities. It also applies to
off-balance-sheet
(“OBS”, “reserve for unfunded commitments”) credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments). In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for
available-for-sale
debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on
available-for-sale
debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed by the President of the United States that included an option for entities to delay the implementation of ASC 326 until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declaration by the President, or December 31, 2020. Under this option, the Company elected to delay implementation of CECL and calculated and recorded the provision for credit losses through the nine-months ended September 30, 2020 under the incurred loss model. At December 31, 2020, the Company elected to adopt ASC 326, effective as of January 1, 2020, through a transition charge to retained earnings of $589 thousand ($466 thousand net of applicable income taxes), which was reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. This transition adjustment was comprised of a decrease of $619 thousand in allowance for credit losses and an increase of $1.21 million in the reserve for unfunded commitments.
The Company completed its CECL implementation plan by forming a cross-functional working group, under the direction of our Chief Credit Officer along with our Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Lending Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The working group also included individuals from various functional areas including credit, risk management, accounting and information technology, among others. The implementation plan included assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources, model development, documentation and validation, and system configuration, among other things. The Company contracted with a third-party vendor to assist in the implementation of CECL.

. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2021 were $56.92 million, up $19.69 million or 52.87%, when compared with earnings of $37.23 million for the first quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per share was $0.40 for the first quarter of 2021 compared with $0.26 in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in earnings for the first quarter of 2021 over the first quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to the overall growth in net interest income and noninterest income.
The return on average assets was 2.05% for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 1.63% for the first quarter of 2020. The return on average equity was 13.83% for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to 10.11% for the first quarter of 2020.
Net Interest Income
. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense on liabilities incurred to fund those assets. Our earning assets consist primarily of loans and investment securities. Our liabilities to fund those assets consist primarily of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits.
Tax-equivalent
net interest income was $92.37 million for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $82.74 million for the same period last year. The increase in 2021 compared to 2020 was largely attributable to the increase in interest-earning assets primarily derived from an increase in investment securities held and the impact of the Company’s participation in the PPP loan program (see above). Average earning assets were $10.56 billion for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $8.50 billion during the first quarter of 2020. The increase of $2.06 billion in average earning assets in 2021 when compared to 2020 was primarily a result of increases of loans of $628.71 million and
tax-exempt
securities of $1.02 billion when compared to March 31, 2020 balances. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $6.37 billion for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $5.36 billion in the same period in 2020. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities primarily resulted from our customers depositing their PPP loan amounts into our Bank and organic growth. The yield on earning assets decreased 63 basis points while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 43 basis points for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.55% for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 36 basis points from the same period in 2020. We have continued to experience downward pressures on our net interest margin in 2021 and 2020 primarily due to (i) the extended period of fluctuating historically low levels of short-term interest rates and (ii) the flat to inverted yield curve currently being experienced in the bond market. Additionally, the net interest margin was particularly impacted in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the overall level of excess liquidity, which totaled $1.08 billion at March 31, 2021, pending investment. We have been able to somewhat mitigate the impact of these lower short-term interest rates and the flat/inverted yield curve by establishing minimum interest rates on certain of our loans, improving the pricing for loan risk and reducing the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. In March 2020, as the market experienced volatility, we took advantage of that volatility to purchase high quality municipal bonds at favorable
tax-equivalent
interest yields. The Federal Reserve increased rates 100 basis points in 2018 but then decreased rates 75 basis points during the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and then an additional 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2020, resulting in a current target rate range of zero to 25 basis points.

Noninterest Income
. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $34.88 million, an increase of $6.14 million, or 21.38%, as compared to the same quarter of 2020. Increases in certain categories of noninterest income included (1) real estate mortgage operations income of $6.04 million, (2) ATM, interchange and credit card fees of $1.28 million and (3) trust fees of $862 thousand when compared to the first quarter of 2020. The mortgage related income increase was mainly due to a significant increase in the volume of loans originated driven by the lower rate environment and a strong housing market in Texas. The increase in ATM, interchange and credit card fees was driven by continued growth in the number of net new accounts and debit cards issued and overall customer utilization. The increase in trust fees resulted from an increase in assets under management over the prior year. The fair value of trust assets managed, which are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets, totaled $7.54 billion at March 31, 2021, up 22.55% when compared to $6.15 billion at March 31, 2020. Offsetting these increases was a decline in service charge revenue of $1.12 million in the first quarter of 2021 when compared to the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in service charge revenue was primarily driven by lower overdraft fees in the current quarter as a result of the effects of the pandemic and related stimulus programs. Additionally, there was also a decline in net gain on sale of available for sale securities of $1.25 million in the first quarter of 2021 when compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Table of Contents
ATM and interchange fees are charges that merchants pay to us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. ATM and interchange fees consist of income from debit card usage, point of sale income for debit card transactions and ATM service fees. Federal Reserve rules applicable to financial institutions that have assets of $10 billion or more provide that the maximum permissible interchange fee for an electronic debit transaction is limited to the sum of 21 cents per transaction plus 5 basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. Management has estimated the impact of this reduction in ATM and interchange fees to approximate $14.00 million annually
(pre-tax)
once the Federal Reserve rules apply to the Company. Federal Reserve requirements stipulate that these rules would go into effect on July 1
st
following the
year-end
in which a financial institution’s total assets exceeded $10 billion at December 31
st
. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s total assets exceeded the $10 billion threshold, due primarily to the effect of the Company’s participation in the PPP loan program and growth in deposits from related activities. However, on November 20, 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies announced an interim final rule that provides temporary relief for certain community banking organizations that have crossed this threshold as of December 31, 2020 if they had less than $10 billion in assets as of December 31, 2019. Under the interim final rule, these banks, which includes us, will generally have until 2022 to either reduce their size, or to prepare for the regulatory and reporting standards under the Dodd-Frank Act. Management will continue to monitor the Company’s balance sheet levels and prepare for the effects of this future loss of debit card income.

Noninterest Expense
. Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 was $57.72 million, an increase of $2.41 million, or 4.35%, as compared to the same period of 2020. An important measure in determining whether a financial institution effectively manages noninterest expense is the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a
tax-equivalent
basis and noninterest income. Lower ratios indicate better efficiency since more income is generated with a lower noninterest expense total. Our efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was 45.36% compared to 49.63% for the same quarter in 2020. The reduction in the Company’s efficiency ratio during the first quarter of 2021 primarily resulted from the growth in the Company’s revenues from higher levels of interest-earning assets while controlling expenses.

Table of Contents
Salaries, commissions and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $34.93 million, compared to $29.64 million for the same period in 2020. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by (i) annual merit-based pay increases that were effective March 1, 2021, (ii) higher mortgage related commission expenses and (iii) increases in incentive compensation and profit sharing expenses. All other categories of noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $22.79 million, down from $25.68 million in the same quarter a year ago. Included in other noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2020 were technology contract termination and conversion related costs totaling $3.81 million related to the TB&T Bancshares, Inc. acquisition.

Balance Sheet Review
Loans
. Our portfolio is comprised of loans made to businesses, professionals, individuals, and farm and ranch operations located in the primary trade areas served by our subsidiary bank. As of March 31, 2021, total loans
held-for-investment
were $5.32 billion, an increase of $151.53 million, as compared to December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, $167.54 million of PPP loans originated in 2020 were forgiven and $216.68 million of new PPP loans were originated. Total PPP loans outstanding were $531.81 million at March 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s commercial loan totals. PPP loan balances accounted for $499.35 million in average balances for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, approximately $16 million of deferred loan fees related to PPP loans, including approximately $11 million for 2021 originations, continues to be amortized over the shorter of the repayment period or the contractual life of 24 to 60 months.
As compared to
year-end
2020 balances, total real estate loans increased $95.49 million, total commercial loans increased $42.37 million, agricultural loans decreased $4.50 million and total consumer loans increased $18.17 million. Loans averaged $5.30 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $628.71 million from the prior year first quarter average balances.
In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 326, the Company expanded its four loan portfolio segments used under its legacy disclosures into the following ten portfolio segments. For modeling purposes, our loan portfolio segments include C&I, Municipal, Agricultural, Construction and Development, Farm,
Non-Owner
Occupied and Owner Occupied CRE, Residential, Consumer Auto and Consumer
Non-Auto.
This additional segmentation allows for a more precise pooling of loans with similar credit risk characteristics and credit monitor procedures for the Company’s calculation of its allowance for credit losses.
The loans originated as a result of the Company’s participation in the PPP program, discussed in further detail on page 50, are included in the C&I loan portfolio segment as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Table 5 outlines the composition of the Company’s
held-for-investment
loans by portfolio segment. For all periods prior to December 31, 2020, management has elected to maintain its previously disclosed loan portfolio segments.

At March 31, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, $3.89 million, $2.38 million and $4.38 million, respectively, are valued using the lower of cost or fair value, and the remaining amounts are valued under the fair value option.
Asset Quality
. Our loan portfolio is subject to periodic reviews by our centralized independent loan review group as well as periodic examinations by bank regulatory agencies. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the collectability of principal or interest under the original terms becomes doubtful. Nonaccrual, past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and restructured loans plus foreclosed assets were $39.66 million at March 31, 2021, as compared to $40.44 million at March 31, 2020 and $42.90 million at December 31, 2020. As a percent of loans
held-for-investment
and foreclosed assets, these assets were 0.75% at March 31, 2021, as compared to 0.87% at March 31, 2020 and 0.83% at December 31, 2020. As a percent of total assets, these assets were 0.33% at March 31, 2021, as compared to 0.42% at March 31, 2020 and 0.39% at December 31, 2020. We believe the level of these assets to be manageable and are not aware of any material classified credits not properly disclosed as nonperforming at March 31, 2021.

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information
. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s exposure to the oil and gas industry totaled 2.20% of total loans
held-for-investment,
excluding PPP loans, or $105.26 million, down $976 thousand from December 31, 2020
year-end
levels. These oil and gas loans consisted (based on collateral supporting the loan) of (i) development and production loans of 11.02%, (ii) oil and gas field servicing loans of 5.76%, (iii) real estate loans of 56.71%, (iv) accounts receivable and inventory of 2.47%, (v) automobile of 8.17% and (vi) other of 15.87%. These have warranted additional scrutiny because of fluctuating oil and gas prices and the COVID pandemic. The Company instituted additional monitoring procedures for these loans and has classified and downgraded loans as appropriate.

Table of Contents
We record interest payments received on nonaccrual loans as reductions of principal. Prior to the loans being placed on nonaccrual, we recognized interest income on these loans of approximately $255 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. If interest on these loans had been recognized on a full accrual basis during the year ended December 31, 2020, such income would have approximated $4.46 million. Such amounts for the 2021 and 2020 interim periods were not significant.
Allowance for Credit Losses
. The allowance for credit losses is the amount we determine as of a specific date to be appropriate to absorb current expected credit losses on existing loans in which full collectability is unlikely based on our review and evaluation of the loan portfolio. For a discussion of our methodology, see our accounting policies in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The provision for credit losses was a reversal of $2.00 million, which was made up of a reversal of provision for loan losses of $3.43 million offset by a $1.43 million provision for unfunded commitments for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $9.85 million for the first quarter of 2020. The net reversal provision for credit losses in 2021 reflects the continued improvement in the economic outlook for our markets across Texas and overall improvements in asset quality. As a percent of average loans, net loan charge-offs were 0.01% for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 0.16% for the first quarter of 2020. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of loans
held-for-investment
was 1.18% as of March 31, 2021, as compared to 1.30% as of March 31, 2020 and 1.29% as of December 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of loans
held-for-investment,
excluding PPP loans, was 1.31% as of March 31, 2021, as compared to 1.30% as of March 31, 2020 and 1.42% as of December 31, 2020.

Borrowings.
Included in borrowings were federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB of $548.60 million, $857.87 million and $430.09 million at March 31, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally with significant customers of the Company that require short-term liquidity for their funds for which we pledge certain securities that have a fair value equal to at least the amount of the short-term borrowings. The average balance of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB were $456.62 million and $460.61 million in the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted average interest rates paid on these borrowings were 0.08% and 0.45% for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Capital Resources
We evaluate capital resources by our ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios to do business in the banking industry. Issues related to capital resources arise primarily when we are growing at an accelerated rate but not retaining a significant amount of our profits or when we experience significant asset quality deterioration.
Total shareholders’ equity was $1.67 billion, or 13.76% of total assets at March 31, 2021, as compared to $1.53 billion, or 15.73% of total assets at March 31, 2020, and $1.68 billion, or 15.39% of total assets at December 31, 2020. Included in shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 2020 were $117.01 million, $123.58 million and $170.40 million, respectively, in unrealized gains on investment securities
available-for-sale,
net of related income taxes. For the first quarter of 2021, total shareholders’ equity averaged $1.67 billion, or 14.83% of average assets, as compared to $1.48 billion, or 16.10% of average assets, during the same period in 2020.
Banking regulators measure capital adequacy by means of the risk-based capital ratios and the leverage ratio under the Basel III regulatory capital framework and prompt corrective action regulations. The risk-based capital rules provide for the weighting of assets and
off-balance-sheet
commitments and contingencies according to prescribed risk categories. Regulatory capital is then divided by risk-weighted assets to determine the risk-adjusted capital ratios. The leverage ratio is computed by dividing shareholders’ equity less intangible assets by
quarter-to-date
average assets less intangible assets.
Beginning in January 2015, under the Basel III regulatory capital framework, the implementation of the capital conservation buffer was effective for the Company starting at the 0.625% level and increasing 0.625% each year thereafter, until it reached 2.50% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and requires increased capital levels for the purpose of capital distributions and other payments. Failure to meet the amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers.
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020, we had a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 21.47%, 20.65% and 22.03%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 20.32%, 19.55% and 20.79%; a common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratio of 20.32%, 19.55% and 20.79% and a leverage ratio of 11.55%, 12.49% and 11.86%, respectively. The regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31, 2020 were calculated under Basel III rules.

In connection with the adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework, our subsidiary bank made the election to continue to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income from
available-for-sale
securities (“AOCI”) from capital in connection with its quarterly financial filing and, in effect, to retain the AOCI treatment under the prior capital rules.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily through our strategy of selecting the types and terms of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that generate favorable earnings while limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. We use no
off-balance-sheet
financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.
Our subsidiary bank has an asset liability management committee that monitors interest rate risk and compliance with investment policies. The subsidiary bank utilizes an earnings simulation model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market rates. The model quantifies the effects of various interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income and net income over the next twelve months. The model measures the impact on net interest income relative to a base case scenario of hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates over the next twelve months. These simulations incorporate assumptions regarding balance sheet growth and mix, pricing and the
re-pricing
and maturity characteristics of the existing and projected balance sheet.
The following analysis depicts the estimated impact on net interest income of immediate changes in interest rates at the specified levels for period presented.

The results for the net interest income simulations as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 resulted in an asset sensitive position. Our model simulation as of March 31, 2020, indicated that our balance sheet is relatively asset sensitive. These are good faith estimates and assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at each
year-end
will remain constant over the relevant twelve-month measurement period and that changes in market interest rates are instantaneous and sustained across the yield curve regardless of duration of pricing characteristics on specific assets or liabilities. Also, this analysis does not contemplate any actions that we might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates. We believe these estimates are not necessarily indicative of what actually could occur in the event of immediate interest rate increases or decreases of this magnitude. As interest-bearing assets and liabilities
re-price
in different time frames and proportions to market interest rate movements, various assumptions must be made based on historical relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion. Since these correlations are based on competitive and market conditions, we anticipate that our future results will likely be different from the foregoing estimates, and such differences could be material.
Should we be unable to maintain a reasonable balance of maturities and repricing of our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities, we could be required to dispose of our assets in an unfavorable manner or pay a higher than market rate to fund our activities. Our asset liability committee oversees and monitors this risk.
Liquidity
Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Such needs can develop from loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position. The potential need for liquidity arising from these types of financial instruments is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash, federal funds sold, and short-term investments in time deposits in banks. Liquidity is also provided by access to funding sources, which include core depositors and correspondent banks that maintain accounts with and sell federal funds to our subsidiary bank. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow from short-term sources, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB (see below) and an unfunded $25.00 million revolving line of credit established with Frost Bank, a nonaffiliated bank, which matures in June 2021 (see next paragraph).
Our subsidiary bank also has federal funds purchased lines of credit with two
non-affiliated
banks totaling $130.00 million. At March 31, 2021, there were no amounts drawn on these lines of credit. Our subsidiary bank also has (i) an available line of credit with the FHLB totaling $1.53 billion at March 31, 2021, secured by portions of our loan portfolio and certain investment securities and (ii) access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas lending program. At March 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding advances from the FHLB.
The Company renewed its loan agreement, effective June 30, 2019, with Frost Bank. Under the loan agreement, as renewed and amended, we are permitted to draw up to $25.00 million on a revolving line of credit. Prior to June 30, 2021, interest is paid quarterly at
The Wall Street Journal
Prime Rate and the line of credit matures June 30, 2021. If a balance exists at June 30, 2021, the principal balance converts to a term facility payable quarterly over five years and interest is paid quarterly at
The Wall Street Journal
Prime Rate. The line of credit is unsecured. Among other provisions in the credit agreement, we must satisfy certain financial covenants during the term of the loan agreement, including, without limitation, covenants that require us to maintain certain capital, tangible net worth, loan loss reserve,
non-performing
asset and cash flow coverage ratios. In addition, the credit agreement contains certain operational covenants, which among others, restricts the payment of dividends above 55% of consolidated net income, limits the incurrence of debt (excluding any amounts acquired in an acquisition) and prohibits the disposal of assets except in the ordinary course of business. Since 1995, we have historically declared
66

Table of Contents
dividends as a percentage of our consolidated net income in a range of 37% (low) in 1995 to 53% (high) in 2003 and 2006. The Company was in compliance with the financial and operational covenants at March 31, 2021. There was no outstanding balance under the line of credit as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, or December 31, 2020.
In addition, we anticipate that future acquisitions of financial institutions, expansion of branch locations or offerings of new products could also place a demand on our cash resources. Available cash and cash equivalents at our parent company which totaled $121.79 million at March 31, 2021, investment securities which totaled $2.54 million at March 31, 2021 and mature over 9 to 10 years, available dividends from our subsidiaries which totaled $260.95 million at March 31, 2021, utilization of available lines of credit, and future debt or equity offerings are expected to be the source of funding for these potential acquisitions or expansions.
Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Liquidity risk management is an important element in our asset/liability management process. We regularly model liquidity stress scenarios to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding problems resulting from economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed potentially problematic by management. These scenarios are incorporated into our contingency funding plan, which provides the basis for the identification of our liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2021, management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations. We are monitoring closely the economic impact of the coronavirus on our customers and the communities we serve. Given the strong core deposit base and relatively low loan to deposit ratios maintained at our subsidiary bank, we consider our current liquidity position to be adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity that would have a material adverse effect on us.
Off-Balance
Sheet (“OBS”)/Reserve for Unfunded Commitments.
We are a party to financial instruments with OBS risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include unfunded lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and federal funds sold to correspondent banks and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $6.92 million which is recorded in other liabilities.
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for unfunded lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments. We generally use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for
on-balance-sheet
instruments.
Unfunded lines of credit and 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. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a
case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, as we deem necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issue 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 loan facilities to customers. The average collateral value held on letters of credit usually exceeds the contract amount.

We believe we have no other OBS arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, special purpose entities that would expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements. The above table does not include balances related to the Company’s IRLC and forward mortgage-backed security trades.
Parent Company Funding
. Our ability to fund various operating expenses, dividends, and cash acquisitions is generally dependent on our own earnings (without giving effect to our subsidiaries), cash reserves and funds derived from our subsidiaries. These funds historically have been produced by intercompany dividends and management fees that are limited to reimbursement of actual expenses. We anticipate that our recurring cash sources will continue to include dividends and management fees from our subsidiaries. At March 31, 2021, $260.95 million was available for the payment of intercompany dividends by our subsidiaries without the prior approval of regulatory agencies. Our subsidiaries paid aggregate dividends of $6.00 million and $2.50 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Dividends
. Our long-term dividend policy is to pay cash dividends to our shareholders of approximately 40% of annual net earnings while maintaining adequate capital to support growth. We are also restricted by a loan covenant within our line of credit agreement with Frost Bank to dividend no greater than 55% of net income, as defined in such loan agreement. The cash dividend payout ratios have amounted to 32.50% and 45.82% of net earnings for the first three months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Given our current capital position and projected earnings and asset growth rates, we do not anticipate any significant change in our current dividend policy.
Our bank subsidiary, which is a national banking association and a member of the Federal Reserve System, is required by federal law to obtain the prior approval of the OCC to declare and pay dividends if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year would exceed the total of (1) such bank’s net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (2) its retained net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two calendar years, less any required transfers to surplus.
To pay dividends, we and our subsidiary bank must maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. In addition, if the applicable regulatory authority believes that a bank under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the bank, could include the payment of dividends), the authority may require, after notice and hearing, that such bank cease and desist from the unsafe practice. The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC have each indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC have issued policy statements that recommend that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk for the Company. See “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital Resources - Interest Rate Risk” for disclosure regarding this market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of March 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e)
or
15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our management, which includes our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 the 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, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.
Subsequent to our evaluation, there were no significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting or other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls.
