UNIVEST CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (the Corporation or Univest) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Corporation’s direct subsidiary is Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the Bank). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim financial information. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Operating results for the three and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017 or for any other period. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2017 .
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and assessment for impairment of certain investment securities, reserve for loan and lease losses, purchase accounting, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, servicing rights, deferred tax assets and liabilities, benefit plans and stock-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. " The amendments in this update expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. Additional hedging strategies permitted for hedge accounting include: hedges of contractually-specified price components of commodity purchases or sales, hedges of the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows of fixed-rate assets or liabilities, hedges of the portion of a closed portfolio of prepayable assets not expected to prepay, and partial-term hedges of fixed-rate assets or liabilities. The ASU amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how entities assess effectiveness. The ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires all items that affect earnings be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged items. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test, such as a regression analysis, if the entity can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. An initial quantitative test to establish that the hedge relationship is highly effective is still required. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. Early adoption is permitted, including an interim period. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." This ASU provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, or January 1, 2018 for the Corporation. Early adoption is permitted, including an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

8


In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, or January 1, 2019 for the Corporation. Early adoption is permitted, including an interim period. This ASU is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The amendments in this ASU require that an employer that sponsors defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans present the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, or January 1, 2018 for the Corporation. This ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation requirements and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component requirements. The amendments allow a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. Disclosure that the practical expedient was used is required. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or for the Corporation's goodwill impairment test in 2020. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business." The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business – inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. In addition, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output, and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The ASU provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, or January 1, 2018 for the Corporation. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU requires businesses and other organizations to measure the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets, such as loans, net investments in leases, certain debt securities, bond insurance and other receivables. The amendments affect entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at

9


fair value through net income. Current GAAP requires an incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonableness and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. An entity should apply the amendments through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (modified-retrospective approach). Acquired credit impaired loans for which the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-30 has been previously applied should prospectively apply the guidance in this ASU. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized before the effective date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers, or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Corporation's financial statements; however, it is anticipated that the allowance will increase upon adoption of CECL and that the increased allowance level will decrease shareholders' equity and regulatory capital and ratios.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" to revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. Disclosures will be required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. The ASU is effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, or January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Corporation's financial statements; however, the adoption of this ASU will impact the balance sheet for the recording of assets and liabilities for operating leases; any initial or continued impact of the recording of assets will have a negative impact on all Corporation and Bank capital ratios under current regulatory guidance and possibly equity ratios.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The ASU will require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. When fair value is not readily determinable, an entity may elect to measure the equity investment at cost, minus impairment, plus or minus any change in the investment’s observable price. The ASU will simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. A valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities will need to be included. For financial liabilities that are measured at fair value, the ASU requires an entity to present separately, in other comprehensive income, any change in fair value resulting from a change in instrument-specific credit risk. An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 or January 1, 2018 for the Corporation. At September 30, 2017 , the Corporation's equity portfolio had a carrying value of $1.0 million which included an unrealized net gain of $590 thousand . This unrealized net gain, net of income taxes, amounted to $384 thousand and was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon implementation using the prospective approach, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassed to retained earnings. The carrying value of the equity securities, upon implementation, will not change; however, any future increases or decreases in fair value will be recorded as an increase or decrease to the carrying value and recognized in non-interest income.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and subsequent related updates. This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU establishes a core principle that requires an entity to identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU provides for improved disclosure requirements that require entities to disclose sufficient information that enables users

10


of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Corporation will adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2018 and expects to use the modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if such adjustment is deemed significant. The Corporation’s revenue is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The scope of the guidance excludes nearly all net interest income as well as many other revenues for financial assets and liabilities including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives. The Corporation has completed the initial scoping review and determined that approximately 82% of non-interest income revenue streams are within the scope of the new standard. Non-interest income streams that are out of scope of the new standard include BOLI, sales of investment securities, mortgage banking activities, certain items within other service fee income such as mortgage servicing income, and certain items within other income. Management is currently reviewing contracts related to trust fee income, service charges on deposits, investment advisory commissions and fee income, insurance commission and fee income and certain items within other service fee income and other income. While the Corporation has not identified material changes to the timing or amount of revenue recognition, the review is ongoing. The Corporation is evaluating changes that may be necessary to applicable disclosures of disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, information about key judgments and estimates and policy decisions regarding revenue recognition.

Note 2. Earnings per Share
The Corporation uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share as the unvested restricted stock issued under the Corporation's equity incentive plans are participating shares with nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The table also notes anti-dilutive options which are those options with weighted average exercise prices in excess of the weighted average market value for the periods presented.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because debt issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties and mortgage-backed securities typically prepay at a rate faster than contractually due. Unrealized losses in investment securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 do not represent other-than-temporary impairments in management's judgment.
Securities with a carrying value of $335.5 million and $356.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and other contractual obligations. In addition, securities of $1.9 million and $1.4 million were pledged to secure credit derivatives and interest rate swaps at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. See Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for additional information.
The following table presents information related to sales of securities available-for-sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 :

Management evaluates debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. government, government sponsored agencies, municipalities, corporate bonds and other issuers, for other-than-temporary impairment by considering the current economic conditions, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, market interest rates and the credit rating of each security. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell the debt securities and believes it is more likely than not, that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Corporation did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges on debt securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 .
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , there were no investments in any single non-federal issuer representing more than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

The following table shows the fair value of securities that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 by the length of time those securities were in a continuous loss position. For the investment securities in an unrealized loss position, the Corporation has concluded, based on its analysis, that the unrealized losses are primarily caused by the movement of interest rates and current market conditions. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. It is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the investment before a recovery of carrying value.

Credit Exposure—Real Estate—Residential Secured for Personal Purpose, Real Estate—Home Equity Secured for Personal Purpose, Loans to individuals, Lease Financing Credit Risk Profile by Payment Activity
The Corporation monitors the credit risk profile by payment activity for the following classifications of loans and leases: residential real estate loans secured for a personal purpose, home equity loans secured for a personal purpose, loans to individuals and lease financings. Nonperforming loans and leases are loans and leases past due 90 days or more, loans and leases on nonaccrual of interest and troubled debt restructured loans and lease modifications. Performing loans and leases are reviewed only if the loan becomes 60 days or more past due. Nonperforming loans and leases are reviewed monthly.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation recorded charge-offs of $2.8 million related to $5.0 million of software leases under a vendor referral program. The provision for loan losses related to this program was $1.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as the Corporation had an allowance for loan and lease losses reserve of $886 thousand as of June 30, 2017. These leases are personally guaranteed by 29 high net worth individuals. During the first quarter of 2017, the lessees stopped making payments due to disputes with the vendor, and Univest Capital, Inc., a subsidiary of the Corporation, filed legal complaints to pursue collection of all amounts owed. A complaint was subsequently filed against Univest Capital Inc. and certain other defendants on March 28, 2017 by one of the lessees in federal court in Texas seeking, among other things, class action certification and a declaration that the contracts and related guarantees are null and void. On September 25, 2017 , Univest Capital, Inc. entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement whereby Univest Capital, Inc. will receive $1.0 million based upon court approval of the Agreement and is eligible to receive up to an additional $1.3 million . Payment of the $1.3 million is subject to the individual guarantor's election of whether or not they will be subject to the Release and Settlement Agreement. It is expected this election process will be completed by March 31, 2018 . If a guarantor elects to be subject to the Release and Settlement Agreement, Univest Capital, Inc. will receive a payment of $43 thousand per guarantor. If a guarantor elects not to be subject to the Release and Settlement Agreement, Univest Capital, Inc. has the right to pursue collection of the full amount owed, which ranges from $108 thousand to $228 thousand per guarantor, via the normal collection process. As of September 30, 2017, Univest Capital, Inc. has a receivable totaling $2.3 million related to this matter, of which $1.3 million is recorded as a nonaccruing lease receivable and $1.0 million is included in other assets. The $1.0 million payment under the Release and Settlement Agreement, which is subject to court approval, is currently in escrow and is expected to be received during the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Corporation records a provision for loan loss for the acquired non-impaired loans only when additional deterioration of the portfolio is identified over the projections utilized in the initial fair value analysis. After the acquisition measurement period, the present value of any decreases in expected cash flows of acquired credit impaired loans will generally result in an impairment charge recorded as a provision for loan loss, resulting in an increase to the allowance.

Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans, accruing troubled debt restructured loans and other accruing impaired loans for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collectible in accordance with the contractual terms. These loans are individually measured to determine the amount of potential impairment. The loans are reviewed for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans and for certain loans based on discounted cash flows using the loans’ initial effective interest rates. Impaired loans include other accruing impaired loans of $4.8 million and $23.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Specific reserves on other accruing impaired loans were $73 thousand and $84 thousand at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

24


The following presents by class of loans, the average recorded investment in impaired loans and an analysis of interest on impaired loans. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. Therefore, interest income on accruing impaired loans is recognized using the accrual method.

The Corporation grants concessions to existing borrowers primarily related to extensions of interest-only payment periods and an occasional payment modification. These modifications typically are for up to one year . The goal when restructuring a credit is to establish a reasonable period of time to provide cash flow relief to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans are primarily comprised of loans on which interest is being accrued under the restructured terms, and the loans are current or less than ninety days past due.

Note 7. Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits
Substantially all employees who were hired before December 8, 2009 are covered by a noncontributory retirement plan. Employees hired on or after December 8, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the noncontributory retirement plan. The Corporation also provides supplemental executive retirement benefits to certain former executives, a portion of which is in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law; these plans are non-qualified benefit plans. These non-qualified benefit plans are not offered to new participants; all current participants are now retired. Information on these plans are aggregated and reported under “Retirement Plans” within this footnote.
The Corporation also provides certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Information on these benefits is reported under “Other Postretirement Benefits” within this footnote.
The Corporation sponsors a Supplemental Non-Qualified Pension Plan, which was established in 1981 prior to the existence of a 401(k) deferred salary savings plan, employee stock purchase plan and long-term incentive plans and therefore is not offered to new participants; all current participants are now retired.

Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Swaps
The Corporation may use interest rate swap agreements to modify interest rate characteristics from variable to fixed or fixed to variable in order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future net interest income. Recorded amounts related to interest-rate swaps are included in other assets or liabilities. The Corporation’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps includes fair value and any collateral that is held by a third party. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges of future cash flows are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying forecasted transactions occur, at which time the deferred gains and losses are recognized in earnings. For a qualifying fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in earnings, and the change in fair value of the hedge item, to the extent attributable to the hedged risk, adjusts the carrying amount of the hedge item and is recognized in earnings.
In 2014, the Corporation entered into an amortizing interest rate swap classified as a cash flow hedge with a notional amount of $20.0 million to hedge a portion of the debt financing of a pool of 10 -year maturity fixed rate loans with balances totaling $29.1 million , at time of the hedge, that were originated in 2013. A brokered money market demand account with a balance exceeding the amortizing interest rate swap balance is being used for the cash flow hedge. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 2.10% and receives a floating rate of one-month LIBOR . The swap matures in November 2022 . The Corporation performed an assessment of the hedge for effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and on a recurring basis to determine that the derivative has been and is expected to continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. The Corporation expects that there will be no ineffectiveness over the life of the interest rate swap. At September 30, 2017 , approximately $108 thousand in net deferred losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations, and the addition of other hedges subsequent to September 30, 2017 . At September 30, 2017 , the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $18.0 million , with a negative fair value of $174 thousand .
The Corporation has an interest rate swap classified as a fair value hedge with a current notional amount of $1.4 million to hedge a 10 -year fixed rate loan that is earning interest at 5.83% . The Corporation pays a fixed rate of 5.83% and receives a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points. The swap matures in October 2021. The difference between changes

33


in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreement and the hedged loan represents hedge ineffectiveness and is recorded in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Corporation has an interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $549 thousand , for a 15 -year fixed rate loan that is earning interest at 7.43% . The Corporation pays a fixed rate of 7.43% and receives a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 224 basis points. The swap matures in April 2022. The interest rate swap is carried at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging." The loan is carried at fair value under the fair value option as permitted by FASB ASC 825 "Financial Instruments."
Credit Derivatives
The Corporation has agreements with third-party financial institutions whereby the third-party financial institution enters into interest rate derivative contracts and foreign currency swap contracts with loan customers referred to them by the Corporation. By the terms of the agreements, the third-party financial institution has recourse to the Corporation for any exposure created under each swap contract in the event the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. These transactions represent credit derivatives and are a customary arrangement that allows the Corporation to provide access to interest rate and foreign currency swap transactions for customers without creating the swap. The Corporation records the fair value of credit derivatives in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation recognizes changes in the fair value of credit derivatives, net of any fees received, in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.
At September 30, 2017 , the Corporation has fourteen variable-rate to fixed-rate interest rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and customers with a current notional amount of $66.1 million , and remaining maturities ranging from one to 10 years. At September 30, 2017 , the fair value of the swaps to the customers was a liability of $132 thousand and all swaps were in paying positions to the third-party financial institution.
At September 30, 2017 , there were no material foreign currency swap transactions between the third-party institution and loan customers.
The maximum potential payments by the Corporation to the third-party financial institution under these credit derivatives are not estimable as they are contingent on future interest rates and exchange rates, and the agreement does not provide for a limitation of the maximum potential payment amount.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Derivative loan commitments represent agreements for delayed delivery of financial instruments in which the buyer agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to deliver, at a specified future date, a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. The Corporation’s derivative loan commitments are commitments to sell loans secured by 1-to 4-family residential properties whose predominant risk characteristic is interest rate risk. The fair values of these derivative loan commitments are based upon the estimated amount the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.

34


Derivatives Tables
The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The Corporation pledges cash or securities to cover the negative fair value of derivative instruments. Cash collateral associated with derivative instruments are not added to or netted against the fair value amounts.

Note 11. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair value of financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy. The Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Corporation. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Corporation’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, including assumptions about risk. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.
Level 1: Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation can access at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include: financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash-flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the fair value calculation requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Investment Securities
Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical instruments, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include U.S. Treasury securities, most equity securities and money market mutual funds. Mutual funds are registered investment companies which are valued at net asset value of shares on a market exchange at the end of each trading day. Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy includes securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate and municipal bonds and certain equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. In cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Fair values for securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The Corporation’s independent pricing service utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because

36


many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service’s evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. If at any time, the pricing service determines that it does not have sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security, the Corporation will utilize valuations from another pricing service. Management has a sufficient understanding of the third party service’s valuation models, assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of securities to enable management to maintain an appropriate system of internal control.
Certain corporate bonds owned by the Corporation are classified as Level 3 as they are not traded in active markets. The fair value of each bond is estimated by benchmarking similar transactions of structure, yield and credit which are owned by the Corporation and are actively traded in the market.
On a quarterly basis, the Corporation reviews changes, as submitted by the pricing service, in the market value of its security portfolio. Individual changes in valuations are reviewed for consistency with general interest rate movements and any known credit concerns for specific securities. If, upon the Corporation’s review or in comparing with another service, a material difference between pricing evaluations were to exist, the Corporation may submit an inquiry to the current pricing service regarding the data used to determine the valuation of a particular security. If the Corporation determines there is market information that would support a different valuation than from the current pricing service’s evaluation, the Corporation may utilize and change the security's valuation. There were no material differences in valuations noted at September 30, 2017 .
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based upon the estimated amount the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Interest rate swaps and mortgage banking derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Credit derivatives are valued based on credit worthiness of the underlying borrower which is a significant unobservable input and therefore classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Two commercial loans, associated with interest rate swaps are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy since lending credit risk is not an observable input for these loans. The unrealized gain on the two loans was $75 thousand at September 30, 2017 .

Contingent Consideration Liability
The Corporation estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration liability by using a discounted cash flow model of future contingent payments based on projected revenue related to the acquired business. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and any valuation adjustments resulting from a change of estimated future contingent payments based on projected revenue of the acquired business affecting the contingent consideration liability will be recorded through noninterest expense. Changes in the original assumptions utilized at the time the acquisition closes and identified during the measurement period are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 805 as an adjustment to goodwill. Due to the significant unobservable input related to the projected revenue, the contingent consideration liability is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. An increase in the projected revenue may result in a higher fair value of the contingent consideration liability. Alternatively, a decrease in the projected revenue may result in a lower estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability.
For the Sterner Insurance Associates acquisition, the conclusion for the earn-out period ending June 30, 2017 resulted in a reversal of a prior noninterest expense accrual of $301 thousand primarily during the second quarter of 2017.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating the fair value for financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed:
Cash and short-term interest-earning assets: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments is their stated value. Cash and short-term interest-earning assets are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-maturity securities: Fair values for the held-to-maturity investment securities are estimated by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and other stock: It is not practical to determine the fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and other stock, due to restrictions placed on their transferability.
Loans held for sale: The fair value of the Corporation’s mortgage loans held for sale are generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including interest rates, bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. These loans are primarily residential mortgage loans and are generally classified in Level 2 due to the observable pricing data. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. There were no valuation adjustments for loans held for sale at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .
Loans and leases held for investment: The fair values for loans and leases held for investment are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using a discount rate based on current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers and include components for credit risk, operating expense and embedded prepayment options. An overall valuation adjustment is made for specific credit risks in addition to general portfolio risk and is significant to the valuation. As permitted, the fair value of the loans and leases are not based on the exit price concept as discussed in the first paragraph of this note. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Impaired loans and leases held for investment: For impaired loans and leases, the Corporation uses a variety of techniques to measure fair value, such as using the current appraised value of the collateral, agreements of sale, discounting the contractual cash flows, and analyzing market data that the Corporation may adjust due to specific characteristics of the loan/lease or collateral. At September 30, 2017 , impaired loans held for investment had a carrying amount of $30.6 million with a valuation allowance of

41


$88 thousand . At December 31, 2016 , impaired loans held for investment had a carrying amount of $43.9 million with a valuation allowance of $235 thousand . The Corporation had impaired leases of $1.3 million with no reserve at September 30, 2017 . The Corporation had no impaired leases at December 31, 2016 .
Servicing rights: The Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the interest rates of the portfolios serviced. Mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon management's assessment of the inputs. The Corporation reviews the mortgage servicing rights portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment and the mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The Corporation also records servicing rights on SBA loans. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , servicing rights had a carrying amount of $6.6 million with no valuation allowance.
Goodwill and other identifiable assets: Certain non-financial assets subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , there were no triggering events that required valuation of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.
Other real estate owned: The fair value of other real estate owned (OREO) is originally estimated based upon the appraised value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value less cost to sell becomes the "original cost" of the OREO asset. Subsequently, OREO is reported as the lower of the original cost and the current the fair value less cost to sell. Capital improvement expenses associated with the construction or repair of the property are capitalized as part of the cost of the OREO asset; however, the capitalized expenses may not increase the OREO asset's recorded value to an amount greater than the asset's fair value after improvements and less cost to sell. During 2017, two properties had write-downs totaling $199 thousand and seven properties were sold at a net gain of $383 thousand which were both included in other noninterest income in the statement of income. New appraisals are generally obtained on an annual basis if an agreement of sale does not exist. Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the unique characteristics of the collateral for each loan.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand and savings accounts, with no stated maturities, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (carrying value) and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values for time deposits with fixed maturities are estimated by discounting the final maturity using interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings are estimated using current market rates for similar borrowings and are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current market rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Long-term debt is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Subordinated notes: The fair value of the subordinated notes are estimated by discounting the principal balance using the treasury yield curve for the term to the call date as the Corporation has the option to call the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s off-balance-sheet instruments are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing and are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Note 12. Segment Reporting
At September 30, 2017 , the Corporation has three reportable business segments: Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance. The Corporation determines the segments based primarily upon product and service offerings, through the types of income generated and the regulatory environment. This is strategically how the Corporation operates and has positioned itself in the marketplace. Accordingly, significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of each of these segments. The parent holding company and intercompany eliminations are included in the "Other" segment.
The Corporation's Banking segment consists of commercial, consumer and mortgage banking as well as lease financing. The Wealth Management segment consists of investment advisory services, retirement plan services, trust, municipal pension services and broker/dealer services. The Insurance segment consists of commercial lines, personal lines, benefits and human resources consulting.

Note 14. Contingencies
The Corporation is periodically subject to various pending and threatened legal actions, which involve claims for monetary relief. Based upon information presently available to the Corporation, it is the Corporation's opinion that any legal and financial responsibility arising from such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

As discussed in Note 4, during the first quarter of 2017, certain lessees stopped making payments and Univest Capital, Inc., a subsidiary of the Corporation, filed legal complaints to pursue collection of all amounts owed. A complaint was subsequently filed against Univest Capital, Inc. and certain other defendants on March 28, 2017 by one of the lessees in federal court in Texas seeking, among other things, class action certification and a declaration that the contracts and related guarantees are null and void. On September 25, 2017 , Univest Capital, Inc. entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement whereby Univest Capital, Inc. will receive $1.0 million based upon court approval of the Agreement and is eligible to receive up to an additional $1.3 million . Payment of the $1.3 million is subject to the individual guarantor's election of whether or not they will be subject to the Release and Settlement Agreement. It is expected this election process will be completed by March 31, 2018 . If a guarantor elects to be subject to the Release and Settlement Agreement, Univest Capital, Inc. will receive a payment of $43 thousand per guarantor. If a guarantor elects not to be subject to the Release and Settlement Agreement, Univest Capital, Inc. has the right to pursue collection of the full amount owed, which ranges from $108 thousand to $228 thousand per guarantor, via the normal collection process. As of September 30, 2017, Univest Capital, Inc. has a receivable totaling $2.3 million related to this matter, of which $1.3 million is recorded as a nonaccruing lease receivable and $1.0 million is included in other assets. The $1.0 million payment under the Release and Settlement Agreement, which is subject to court approval, is currently in escrow and is expected to be received during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Results of Operations
On July 1, 2016, the Corporation acquired Fox Chase. The comparative results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 include the impact of this acquisition.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation’s revenue. Table 1 presents a summary of the Corporation’s average balances, tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense and the tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, and the cost of average liabilities, and shareholders’ equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . The tax-equivalent net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The tax-equivalent net interest spread represents the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets less the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of net interest free funding sources represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity. Table 2 analyzes the changes in the tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods broken down by their rate and volume components.
Table 1, Table 2, and the interest income and net interest income analysis contain tax-equivalent financial information and measures determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The management of the Corporation uses this non-GAAP financial information and measures in its analysis of the Corporation's performance. This financial information and measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis financial information or measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of the non-GAAP financial information and measures provide useful information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of the Corporation.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016
Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $38.3 million , an increase of $4.0 million , or 11.7% , compared to the same period in 2016 . Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $110.7 million , an increase of $26.6 million , or 31.6% , compared to the same period in 2016 . The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2017 was 3.80% , compared to 3.68% for the third quarter of 2016 . The increase in net interest income (tax-equivalent) for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to loan growth and increases in loan yields partially offset by higher funding costs. The increase in net interest income (tax-equivalent) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was mainly due to the impact of the acquisition of Fox Chase, which occurred on the July 1, 2016 and organic loan growth during the past year. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion was 11 basis points ($1.1 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to seven basis points ($647 thousand) for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion was nine basis points ($2.6 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to five basis points ($950 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Interest Income
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016

Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $124.8 million , an increase of $32.2 million from the same period in 2016 . The increase in interest income (tax-equivalent) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to organic loan growth in commercial real estate, commercial business and residential real estate loans and an increase in loan yields, primarily due to Federal Reserve interest rate increases in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2017. The increase in interest income (tax-equivalent) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was mainly due to the impact of the Fox Chase acquisition and organic loan growth in commercial real estate, commercial business and residential real estate loans. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion on interest-earning assets was five basis points ($527 thousand) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The purchase accounting accretion had no impact on the yield on total interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion on interest-earning assets was three basis points ($837 thousand) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a favorable impact of one basis point ($167 thousand) for the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $14.1 million , an increase of $5.6 million from the same period in 2016 . The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to higher deposit and borrowing costs, primarily due to Federal Reserve interest rate increases in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2017. The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was mainly due to the impact of the Fox Chase acquisition and higher deposit and borrowing costs. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion on interest-bearing liabilities was eight basis points ($539 thousand) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a favorable impact of ten basis points ($669 thousand) for the same period in the prior year. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion on interest-bearing liabilities was eight basis points ($1.7 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a favorable impact of five basis point ($783 thousand) for the same period in the prior year.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.7 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2016 .

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , the Corporation charged-off $2.8 million related to $5.0 million of software leases under a vendor referral program. The provision for loan losses related to this program was $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as the Corporation had an allowance for loan and lease loss reserve of $886 thousand related to this program at June 30, 2017.

Total provision for loan and lease losses for the vendor referral program previously discussed was $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The provision for loan and lease losses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the increased charge-offs and an increase in originated loans in the amount of $500.1 million at September 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016.

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $14.1 million , consistent with the same period in the prior year. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $45.1 million , an increase of $3.1 million , or 7.4% , from the same period in the prior year. Service charges on deposits increased $529 thousand, or 15.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, mostly due to fees on deposit accounts acquired from Fox Chase. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $550 thousand, or 18.9%, for the three months and $1.6 million, or 19.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to new customer relationships and favorable market performance during 2017. BOLI income increased $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to proceeds from BOLI death benefits of $889 thousand recognized in the second quarter of 2017 and policies acquired from Fox Chase. Other service fee income increased $158 thousand, or 8% for the three months and $628 thousand, or 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to interchange fee income, partially related to Fox Chase customers and an increase in mortgage servicing fee income mainly due to higher volume and lower amortization expense as a result of reduced loan prepayments. Other income increased $506 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in net gains on sales of other real estate owned of $280 thousand and an increase in net gains on sales of fixed assets of $173 thousand compared to the same period in the prior year.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in the net gain on sale of securities of $23 thousand for the three months and $444 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as less securities were sold. In addition, the net gain on mortgage banking decreased $1.1 million, or 54.7%, for the three months and $1.4 million, or 27.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to a decrease in mortgage refinance volume and a shortage of housing supply.

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $32.7 million , a decrease of $14.4 million , or 30.5% , from the same period in the prior year. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $97.3 million , a decrease of $6.3 million , or 6.1% , from the same period in the prior year. Acquisition and integration costs during 2016 related to the Fox Chase acquisition were $14.1 million for the three months and $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. There were no acquisition or integration costs during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, intangible expense decreased $164 thousand for the three months and $716 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of the settlement of the Girard Partners acquisition earn-out in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the conclusion of the earn-out period for the Sterner Insurance Associates acquisition, which resulted in a reversal of a prior accrual of $303 thousand during the second quarter of 2017.

These decreases were partially offset by the following increases in non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Salaries and benefit expense increased $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily attributable to higher staffing levels resulting from the Fox Chase acquisition, additional staff hired to support revenue generation across all business lines and the expansion into Lancaster County. Premises and equipment expenses increased $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to higher premises expense related to Fox Chase locations and expansion into Philadelphia, Lancaster County and the Lehigh Valley. Data processing expense increased $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to increased investments in customer relationship management software and outsourced data processing solutions as well as the addition of Fox Chase processing expense. Other expense increased $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to inclusion of Fox Chase-related expenses and an increase of $963 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to Bank shares tax as a result of a statutory rate increase in 2017 and the Corporation's growth primarily due to the Fox Chase acquisition.
Tax Provision
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was an expense of $4.4 million and benefit of $1.5 million , at effective rates of 28.3% and 103.9% , respectively. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $12.6 million and $3.3 million at effective rates of 27.1% and 20.8% , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation recognized a BOLI death benefit of $0 thousand and $889 thousand, respectively, and a discrete tax benefit related to the vesting of restricted stock and exercise of stock options of $212 thousand and $591 thousand, respectively, which provided a tax deduction greater than previously recorded. This change was in accordance with ASU No. 2016-09, which was implemented by the Corporation in the fourth quarter of 2016 and requires the tax impact of such equity-based compensation activities to be recorded as an adjustment to the income tax provision in the period

54


incurred, rather than an adjustment to equity. Excluding these two items, the effective income tax rate was 30.1% and 29.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively, which reflects the impact of the Corporation's level of tax-exempt income for the period relative to the overall level of taxable income.

Investment Securities
Total investments securities at September 30, 2017 decreased $24.7 million from December 31, 2016 . Maturities and pay-downs of $86.7 million , calls of $7.4 million and sales of $3.5 million were partially offset by purchases of $71.4 million and increases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $4.0 million . The yield curve flattened since year end resulting in lower long-term rates and an increased fair value on the available-for-sale investment securities.
Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and other stock, at cost
The Bank is a member of the FHLB, and as such, is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership as determined by the FHLB. The Bank is required to hold additional stock in the FHLB in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The Bank held FHLB stock of $12.5 million and $10.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. FHLB stock increased $2.4 million mainly due to purchase requirements related to the increase in FHLB borrowings during the year.
The Bank held $14.6 million in Federal Reserve Bank stock as required by the Federal Reserve Bank at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .
Loans and Leases
Gross loans and leases held for investment grew $201.3 million , or 6.1% , from December 31, 2016 . The growth in loans was primarily in commercial real estate, commercial business and residential real estate loans, as the Bank increased its number of commercial lenders due to the Fox Chase acquisition and expansion into Lancaster County.
Asset Quality
The Bank's strategy for credit risk management focuses on having well-defined credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans and leases. Performance of the loan and lease portfolio is monitored on a regular basis by Bank management and lending officers.
Loans and leases are deemed impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all proceeds due according to the contractual terms of the agreement or when a loan or lease is classified as a

55


troubled debt restructuring. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, borrower cash flows, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

When a loan or lease, including a loan or lease that is impaired, is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan or lease is discontinued. A loan or lease is typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan or lease is currently performing. A loan or lease may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed and the amortization of net deferred fees is suspended. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans and leases are either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the ultimate collectability of principal.

Loans or leases are usually restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
At September 30, 2017 , the recorded investment in loans and leases held for investment that were considered to be impaired was $31.8 million . The related reserve for loan and lease losses was $88 thousand . At December 31, 2016 , the recorded investment in loans and leases that were considered to be impaired was $43.9 million . The related reserve for loan and lease losses was $235 thousand . During the second quarter of 2017, an accruing impaired commercial real estate loan for $10.4 million was removed from impaired status. During the third quarter of 2017, the Corporation charged-off $2.8 million related to $5.0 million of software leases under a vendor referral program. See Notes 4 and 14 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q, for additional information. The impaired loan and lease balances consisted mainly of commercial real estate loans and business loans. Impaired loans and leases include nonaccrual loans and leases, accruing troubled debt restructured loans and lease modifications and other accruing impaired loans for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collectible in accordance with the contractual terms. The amount of the specific reserve needed for these credits could change in future periods subject to changes in facts and judgments related to these credits. Specific reserves have been established based on current facts and management’s judgments about the ultimate outcome of these credits.
Other real estate owned was $1.8 million at September 30, 2017 , compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2016 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , five commercial real estate properties with a total carrying value of $1.9 million were sold for a net gain of $204 thousand, of which one property with a carrying value of $653 thousand was transferred to other real estate owned during the first quarter. Six units of a condominium complex with a carrying value of $1.5 million were sold for a gain of $231 thousand and a vacant parcel of land with a carrying value of $225 thousand was sold at a loss of $52 thousand.
Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses

The reserve for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level representing management's best estimate of known risks and inherent losses in the portfolio, based upon management's evaluation of the portfolio's collectability. Management evaluates the need to establish reserves against losses on loans and leases on a quarterly basis. When changes in the reserve are necessary, an adjustment is made.

The reserve for loan and lease losses consists of a reserve for impaired loans and leases and a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the originated portfolio. Although management determines the amount of each element of the reserve separately, the entire reserve for loan and lease losses is available for losses on the portfolio. The Corporation records a provision for loan loss for the acquired non-impaired loans only when additional deterioration of the portfolio is identified over the projections utilized in the initial fair value analysis. After the acquisition measurement period, the present value of any decreases in expected cash flows of acquired credit impaired loans will generally result in an impairment charge recorded as a provision for loan loss, resulting in an increase to the allowance.
The Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are unfunded in categories with historical loss experience. The reserve for these off-balance sheet credits was $385 thousand at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets have been recorded on the books of the Corporation in connection with acquisitions. The Corporation has covenants not to compete, core deposit and customer-related intangibles and servicing rights, which are not deemed to have an indefinite life and therefore will continue to be amortized over their useful life using the present value of projected cash flows. The amortization of intangible assets was $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The amortization of intangible assets was $3.2 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . The Corporation also has goodwill with a net carrying value of $172.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and is not amortized.
The Corporation completes a goodwill impairment analysis at least on an annual basis, or more often, if events and circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. The Corporation also completes an impairment test for other identifiable intangible assets on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate there may be impairment. There was no impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangibles during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . Since the last annual impairment analysis during 2016 , there have been no circumstances to indicate impairment. There can be no assurance that future impairment assessments or tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

Total deposits increased $261.0 million , or 8.0% , from December 31, 2016 , primarily due to growth in commercial customer relationships and the related deposits and increases in public funds deposits.
Borrowings
Total borrowings decreased $85.3 million from December 31, 2016 , primarily due to a decrease in short-term borrowings of $164.1 million partially offset by an increase in long-term FHLB advances of $80.0 million. The Corporation increased its long-term advances as part of a balance sheet management strategy to take advantage of the flattening yield curve and obtain relatively low cost longer term fixed rate borrowings.

The increase in shareholder's equity at September 30, 2017 of $23.6 million from December 31, 2016 was primarily related to an increase in retained earnings of $17.8 million . Retained earnings at September 30, 2017 were impacted by the nine months of net income of $33.8 million partially offset by cash dividends declared of $16.0 million . Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $3.1 million mainly attributable to increases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities. Treasury stock decreased by $1.0 million primarily due to the issuance of restricted stock.

Capital Adequacy
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Capital adequacy guidelines, and additionally for the Bank the prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 common capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined), or leverage ratio.
In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted final rules revising the agencies’ capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action rules, designed to enhance such requirements and implement the revised standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly referred to as Basel III. The new minimum capital requirements were effective on January 1, 2015. Under the new rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The capital conservation buffer requirements began to be phased in over a four-year period beginning January 1, 2016 with final phase in occurring 2019.
The Corporation adopted the new Basel III regulatory capital rules during the first quarter of 2015 under the transition rules, primarily relating to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity tier 1 capital and tier 1 capital, to be phased in over a three-year period beginning January 1, 2015. Under Basel III rules, the decision was made to opt-out of including accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital. During 2017, the Corporation and the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer greater than 1.250% above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions. It is the Corporation's and Bank's intent to maintain capital levels in excess of the capital conservation buffer which would require Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets to exceed 8.50% and Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets to exceed 10.50% beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , management believes that the Corporation and the Bank continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The Corporation, like other bank holding companies, currently is required to maintain Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital equal to at least 6.0% and 8.0%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets (including various off-balance-sheet items). The Bank, like other depository institutions, is required to maintain similar capital levels under capital adequacy guidelines. During 2017, the Corporation and the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 1.250% of total risk-weighted assets in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions. For a depository institution to be considered “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios must be at least 8.0% and 10.0% on a risk-adjusted basis, respectively. At September 30, 2017 , the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Corporation will continue to analyze the impact of the phase in of the capital conservation buffer as well as the impact of new accounting rules, such as Lease Accounting (ASU No. 2016-02 ) and CECL (ASU No. 2016-13) on its regulatory capital ratios. See Note 1 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Asset/Liability Management
The primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to assure adequate earnings, capital and liquidity while maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers and corporate needs. Management's objective to address interest rate risk is to understand the Corporation's susceptibility to changes in interest rates and develop and implement strategies to minimize volatility while maximizing net interest income.
The Corporation uses both interest-sensitivity gap analysis and simulation modeling to quantify exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses the gap analysis to identify and monitor long-term rate exposure and uses a simulation model to measure the short-term rate exposures. The Corporation runs various earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the impact of declining or rising interest rates on net interest income over a one-year and two-year horizon. The simulation uses expected cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments at a point in time and incorporates company developed, market-based assumptions regarding growth, pricing, and optionality such as prepayment speeds. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to decrease in value; conversely, as interest rates decline, fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to increase in value.

Liquidity
The Corporation, in its role as a financial intermediary, is exposed to certain liquidity risks. Liquidity refers to the Corporation’s ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy demand for loans, deposit withdrawals, repayment of borrowings and certificates of deposit at maturity, operating expenditures, and capital expansion. The Corporation manages liquidity risk by measuring and monitoring liquidity sources and estimated funding needs on a weekly basis. The Corporation has a contingency funding plan in place to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or a systemic financial crisis.
Sources of Funds
Core deposits continue to be the largest significant funding source for the Corporation. These deposits are primarily generated from a base of consumer, business and public customers located in our primary service areas. The Corporation faces increased competition for these deposits from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, credit unions, savings institutions, mutual funds, security dealers and others.
The Corporation also utilizes a mix of short-term and long-term wholesale funding providers. Wholesale funding includes correspondent bank borrowings, secured borrowing lines from the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and, at times, brokered deposits and other similar sources.
The Corporation, through the Bank, has a credit facility with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $1.4 billion . At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the carrying amount of overnight borrowings with the FHLB was $11.0 million and $91.3 million , respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the carrying amount of long-term borrowings with the FHLB was $175.3 million and $96.2 million , respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Bank had outstanding short-term letters of credit with the FHLB totaling $328.8 million and $148.5 million , respectively, which were utilized to collateralize public funds deposits. The maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB changes as a function of qualifying collateral assets as well as the FHLB’s internal credit rating of the Bank.
The Corporation, through the Bank, maintains uncommitted federal fund lines with several correspondent banks totaling $367.0 million and $302.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Corporation had $0.0 million and $80.0 million , respectively, outstanding federal funds purchased with these correspondent banks. Future availability under these lines is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.

The Corporation, through the Bank, holds collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia in order to access their Discount Window Lending program. The collateral consisting of investment securities was valued at $52.5 million and $55.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under this program.
The Corporation has a $10.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. At September 30, 2017 , the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under this line.

Cash Requirements
The Corporation has cash requirements for various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments that require cash payments. The most significant contractual obligation, in both the under and over one year time period, is for the Bank to repay certificates of deposit and short-term and long-term borrowings. The Bank anticipates meeting these obligations by continuing to provide convenient depository and cash management services through its financial center network, thereby replacing these contractual obligations with similar fund sources at rates that are competitive in our market. The Bank will also use borrowings and brokered deposits to meet its obligations.
Commitments to extend credit are the Bank’s most significant commitment in both the under and over one year time periods. These commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
