March 26, 2021 

To Our Valued Shareholders: 

This past year presented an unprecedented level of challenges. After a solid finish to 2019, our 
expectations  for  2020  were  strong,  but  certainly  did  not  include  plans  to  face  a  worldwide 
pandemic  that  forced  businesses  to  close,  imposed  unforeseen  financial  challenges  on  our 
customers, resulted in record low interest rates and caused the bank to shift significant resources 
to  providing  loans  under  the  Small  Business  Administration’s  Paycheck  Protection  Program 
(“PPP”) to customers and noncustomers in our market areas.  Despite the challenges in 2020, we 
remained  focused  on  the  opportunity  to  assist  our  customers,  expand  existing  relationships  and 
grow  our  customer  base.  As  a  result  of  the  diligent  efforts  of  our  bankers,  we  grew  our  loan 
portfolio by a record $265.6  million during 2020, which included $221.2 million of  PPP loans, 
and increased our deposits by $392.8 million over the same period. 

While  loan  growth  was  significant,  low  market  interest  rates  and  low  yields  on  PPP  loans 
presented challenges across the industry. In total, our average loan yield decreased 42 basis points 
compared  to  2019.  During  2020,  PPP  loans  negatively  impacted  our  average  loan  yield  by  17 
basis points.  Lower loan yields, partially offset by lower deposit costs, decreased our net interest 
margin  (“NIM”)  by  30  basis  points  during  2020  compared  to  2019.    Despite  the  decrease,  our 
NIM of 3.96% during the year remains above industry average. 

As  we  continue  to  face  these  challenges  in  to  2021,  we  anticipate  that  PPP  loans  will  generate 
substantial  fee  volume  and  low  interest  rates  will  fuel  mortgage  banking  income  as  customers 
find it beneficial to refinance mortgages.  

Although  the  interest  rate  and  economic  environment  present  challenges  in  2021,  our  team  is 
fully  committed  to  creating  exceptional  customer  experiences  with  every  interaction  and  to 
ensuring that customers can bank safely without sacrificing convenience. At Home Bank, we’re 
Good for Business and Good for Life.     

We are grateful for your investment in our Company and your confidence in our future.    

Sincerely,  

John W. Bordelon 
Chairman of the Board of Directors, 
President and Chief Executive Officer

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward looking statements (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934  and  the  regulations  hereunder).  Forward  looking  statements  are  not  historical  facts  but  instead  represent  only  the 
beliefs, expectations or opinions of Home Bancorp, Inc. and its management regarding future events, many of which, by their 
nature,  are  inherently  uncertain.  Forward  looking  statements  may  be  identified  by  the  use  of  such  words  as:  “believe,” 
“expect,”  “anticipate,”  “intend,”  “plan,”  “estimate”  or  words  of  similar  meaning  or  future  or  conditional  terms  such  as 
“will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “likely,” “probably” or “possibly.” Forward looking statements include, but 
are  not  limited  to,  financial  projections  and  estimates  and  their  underlying  assumptions;  statements  regarding  plans, 
objectives  and  expectations  with  respect  to  future  operations,  products  and  services;  and  statements  regarding  future 
performance.  Such  statements  are  subject  to  certain  risks,  uncertainties  and  assumptions,  many  of  which  are  difficult  to 
predict and generally are beyond the control of Home Bancorp, Inc. and its management, that could cause actual results to 
differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in,  or  implied  or  projected  by,  forward  looking  statements.  The  following  factors, 
among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in 
the forward looking statements: (1) economic and competitive conditions which could affect the volume of loan originations, 
deposit  flows  or  real  estate  values;  (2)  the  levels  of  noninterest  income  and  expense  and  the  amount  of  loan  losses; 
(3) competitive pressure among depository institutions increasing significantly; (4) changes in the interest rate environment 
causing  reduced  interest  margins;  (5)  general  economic  conditions,  either  nationally  or  in  the  markets  in  which  Home 
Bancorp, Inc. is or will be doing business, being less favorable than expected; (6) political and social unrest, including acts 
of war or terrorism; (7) failure to  fully realize all the benefits we anticipate in connection with any future acquisitions of 
other  institutions  or  our  assumptions  made  in  connection  therewith  being  inaccurate;  or  (8)  legislation  or  changes  in 
regulatory  requirements  adversely  affecting  the  business  of  Home  Bancorp,  Inc.  Home  Bancorp,  Inc.  undertakes  no 
obligation to update these forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which 
such statements were made.

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  caused  significant  economic  dislocation  in  the  United  States  as  many  state  and  local 
governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home.  Given its ongoing and 
dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of  COVID-19 on our business.  The extent of such impact will depend 
on  future  developments,  which  are    highly  uncertain,  including  when  the  coronavirus  can  be  controlled  and  abated.  As  a 
result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, our forward-looking 
statements are subject to the following additional risks, uncertainties and assumptions, among others:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Demand for our products and services may decline;

If high levels of unemployment continue, our loan delinquencies, non-performing assets and loan foreclosures may 
increase;

Collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value;

Our  allowance  for  loan  losses  may  have  to  be  increased  if  our  borrowers  continue  to  experience  financial 
difficulties;

As a result of the reduction in the Federal Reserve Board's target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our 
interest-earning assets may decline more than the decline in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities;

A material decrease in our net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a suspension of our stock 
repurchase program and/or a reduction of our quarterly stock dividend;

Our cyber security risks may be increased as a result of more of our employees working remotely; and

FDIC deposit insurance premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

The  Company  undertakes  no  obligation  to  update  these  forward-looking  statements  to  reflect  events  or  circumstances  that 
occur after the date on which such statements were made.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

General. Home Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Louisiana corporation and the holding company for Home Bank, N.A. 
(the “Bank”). The Bank, which is headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 
currently conducts business through 40 banking offices in the Acadiana, Baton Rouge, Greater New Orleans and Northshore 
(of Lake Pontchartrain) regions of south Louisiana and the Natchez and Vicksburg regions of west Mississippi.

The Company is subject to regulation as a bank holding company by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
(the  “FRB”  or  the  “Federal  Reserve”).  In  September  2018,  the  Bank  established  HB  Investment  Fund  I,  LLC,  a  wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Bank to invest in New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”) in our market areas.

The  Bank  is  primarily  engaged  in  attracting  deposits  from  the  general  public  and  using  those  funds  to  invest  in  loans  and 
securities. Our principal sources of funds are customer deposits, repayments of loans, repayments of investments and funds 
borrowed from outside sources such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Dallas.

These funds are primarily used for the origination of loans, including one-to four-family first mortgage loans, home equity 
loans  and  lines,  commercial  real  estate  loans,  construction  and  land  loans,  multi-family  residential  loans,  commercial  and 
industrial loans and consumer loans. The Bank derives its income principally from interest earned on loans and investment 
securities and, to a lesser extent, from fees received in connection with the origination of loans, service charges on deposit 
accounts and for other services. The Bank’s primary expenses are interest expense and general operating expenses, the most 
significant of which is compensation and benefits.

Although we continue to be an active originator of residential home mortgage loans and other consumer loans in our market 
areas, our efforts are focused on originating commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans. Commercial 
real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans are deemed attractive due to their generally higher yields and shorter 
anticipated  lives  compared  to  single-family  residential  mortgage  loans.  In  addition,  the  Bank  views  commercial  real  estate 
and  commercial  and  industrial  loans  as  attractive  lending  products  because  the  Bank’s  commercial  borrowers  typically 
maintain deposit accounts at the Bank, increasing the Bank’s core deposits.

The Company’s headquarters is located at 503 Kaliste Saloom Road, Lafayette, Louisiana, and our telephone number is (337) 
237-1960.  We  maintain  a  website  at  www.home24bank.com,  and  we  provide  our  customers  with  online  banking  services. 
Filings of the Company made with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") are available, without charge, on our 
website.  Information on our website should not be considered a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Market Area and Competition

The  Bank  has  four  primary  market  areas  across  south  Louisiana:  Acadiana,  Baton  Rouge,  Greater  New  Orleans,  and  the 
Northshore  (of  Lake  Pontchartrain)  and  two  primary  market  areas  in  west  Mississippi:  Natchez  and  Vicksburg.  Since 
completing its initial public offering of stock in October 2008, the Company has acquired five other financial institutions. The 
Bank  currently  operates  20  banking  offices  in  Acadiana,  four  banking  offices  in  Baton  Rouge,  six  banking  offices  in  the 
Greater New Orleans area, six banking offices in the Northshore region, three banking offices in Natchez, and one banking 
office in Vicksburg. For additional information on our acquisition activity, see Part II, Item 7 in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Acquisition Activity.”

We  face  significant  competition  in  originating  loans  and  attracting  deposits.  This  competition  stems  primarily  from  other 
banks, credit unions and mortgage-banking companies. Many of the financial service providers operating in our market areas 
are  significantly  larger  and  have  greater  financial  resources.  We  face  additional  competition  for  deposits  from  short-term 
money  market  funds  and  other  corporate  and  government  securities  funds,  mutual  funds  and  from  other  non-depository 
financial  institutions  such  as  brokerage  firms  and  insurance  companies.  More  recently,  innovations  in  loan  and  deposit 
products brought about by financial technology companies have added to the level of competition for originating loans and 
attracting deposits.

Supervision and Regulation

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws relating to the regulation of Home Bancorp, Inc. and Home Bank. This 
description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

General. Home Bank, N.A. is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 
(“OCC”). The Bank is also subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of the Bank to the 
maximum  extent  permitted  by  law,  and  requirements  established  by  the  Federal  Reserve.  In  the  last  several  years,  the 
Company  has  experienced  heightened  regulatory  requirements  and  scrutiny  following  the  global  financial  crisis  and  the 
enactment in 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). Resulting 
reforms  have  caused  the  Company’s  compliance  and  risk  management  processes,  and  the  costs  thereof,  to  increase.  The 
legislation enacted in 2018 and summarized below may reduce some of the burdens associated with implementation of the 
Dodd-Frank  Act,  but  the  actual  impact  of  this  administration’s  policies  regarding  the  Dodd-Frank  reforms  and  the  2018 
regulatory reforms is impossible to predict with any certainty.

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with substantial enforcement powers. The OCC’s enforcement authority 
includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to 
initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and 
unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or 
untimely  reports  filed  with  the  OCC.  The  FRB  has  comparable  enforcement  authority  over  the  Company.  In  addition,  the 
FDIC,  as  the  insurer  of  the  Bank’s  deposits,  can  initiate  enforcement  proceedings,  remove  Bank  officials  and  suspend  or 
terminate deposit insurance. Any change in such regulations could have a material adverse impact on the Company and the 
Bank.

In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), was enacted to modify or 
remove  certain  financial  reform  rules  and  regulations,  including  some  of  those  implemented  under  the  Dodd-Frank  Act. 
While the Act maintains most of the regulatory structure established by the Dodd-Frank Act, it amends certain aspects of the 
regulatory framework for small depository institutions with assets of less than $10 billion and for large banks with assets of 
more than $50 billion. Many of these changes could result in meaningful regulatory relief for community banks, such as the 
Bank.

The Act, among other matters, expands the definition of qualified mortgages which may be held by a financial institution and 
simplifies the regulatory capital rules for financial institutions and their holding companies with total consolidated assets of 
less than $10 billion by instructing the federal banking regulators to establish a single “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” of 
between 8 and 10 percent to replace the leverage and risk-based regulatory capital ratios. The Act also expands the category 
of holding companies that may rely on the “Small Bank Holding Company and Savings and Loan Holding Company Policy 
Statement” by raising the maximum amount of assets a qualifying holding company may have from $1 billion to $3 billion. 
This  expansion  also  excludes  such  holding  companies  from  the  minimum  capital  requirements  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act.  In 
addition,  the  Act  includes  regulatory  relief  for  community  banks  regarding  regulatory  examination  cycles,  call  reports,  the 
Volcker Rule (proprietary trading prohibitions), mortgage disclosures and risk weights for certain high-risk commercial real 
estate loans.

It is difficult at this time to predict when or how any new standards under the Act will ultimately be applied to us or what 
specific impact the Act and the final implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks.

Regulation of Home Bancorp, Inc.

The Company is a bank holding company, subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve. The 
Federal Reserve has enforcement authority with respect to the Company similar to that of the OCC over the Bank. Applicable 
federal  law  and  regulations  limit  the  activities  of  the  Company  and  require  the  approval  of  the  Federal  Reserve  for  any 
acquisition of a subsidiary, including another financial institution or holding company thereof, or a merger or acquisition of 
the  Company.  The  Company  must  serve  as  a  source  of  strength  for  the  Bank,  maintaining  the  ability  to  provide  financial 
assistance if the Bank suffers financial distress. These and other Federal Reserve policies may restrict the Company’s ability 
to pay dividends. In addition, dividends from the Company may depend, in part, upon its receipt of dividends from the Bank. 
If  the  Company  does  not  have  the  required  capital  conservation  buffer  or  otherwise  meet  its  new  capital  requirements,  its 
ability to pay dividends to its stockholders will be limited.

A bank holding company is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its 
outstanding  equity  securities  if  the  gross  consideration  for  the  purchase  or  redemption,  when  combined  with  the  net 
consideration  paid  for  all  such  purchases  or  redemption  during  the  preceding  12  months,  is  equal  to  10%  or  more  of  the 

2

company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that 
the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order, or 
any condition imposed by, or written agreement with the Federal Reserve. This notification requirement does not apply to any 
company  that  meets  the  well-capitalized  standard  for  bank  holding  companies,  is  well-managed  and  is  not  subject  to  any 
unresolved supervisory issues.

Permissible Activities. The business activities of the Company are generally limited to those activities permissible for bank 
holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act and certain additional activities authorized by 
the  Federal  Reserve  regulations.  The  Bank  Holding  Company  Act  generally  prohibits  a  bank  holding  company  from 
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or 
bank holding company. A bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve Board approval before acquiring directly or 
indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it 
would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares).

Capital Requirements.  The regulatory capital requirements generally applicable to a bank holding company are the same as 
the capital requirements for its subsidiary bank. However, the Company is exempt from any regulatory capital requirements.  
For  a  description  of  the    Bank's  capital  requirements,  see  “Regulation  of  Home  Bank,  N.A.  -  Recent  Regulatory  Capital 
Regulations.”

Federal  Securities  Laws.  We  have  registered  our  common  stock  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  under 
Section  12(b)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934.  Accordingly,  the  Company  is  subject  to  the  proxy  and  tender  offer 
rules,  insider  trading  reporting  requirements  and  restrictions  and  certain  other  requirements  under  the  Securities  Exchange 
Act of 1934.

The  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act.  As  a  public  company,  the  Company  is  subject  to  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002  which 
addresses,  among  other  issues,  corporate  governance,  auditing  and  accounting,  executive  compensation  and  enhanced  and 
timely  disclosure  of  corporate  information.  As  directed  by  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act,  our  principal  executive  officer  and 
principal financial officer are required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a 
material fact. The rules adopted by the SEC under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these 
officers  certify  that:  they  are  responsible  for  establishing,  maintaining  and  regularly  evaluating  the  effectiveness  of  our 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting;  they  have  made  certain  disclosures  to  our  independent  auditors  and  the  Audit 
Committee of the Board of Directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information 
in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over 
financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

Volcker Rule Regulations. Regulations have been adopted by the federal banking agencies to implement the provisions of 
the Dodd-Frank Act commonly referred to as the Volcker Rule. The regulations contain prohibitions and restrictions on the 
ability  of  financial  institution  holding  companies  and  their  affiliates  to  engage  in  proprietary  trading  and  to  hold  certain 
interests in, or to have certain relationships with, various types of investment funds, including hedge funds and private equity 
funds. Recently promulgated federal regulations exclude from the Volker Rule restrictions on community banks with $10.0 
billion or less in total consolidated assets and total trading assets and liabilities of 5.0% or less of total consolidated assets.  
The Company qualifies for this exclusion from the Volker Rule restrictions.  

Regulation of Home Bank, N.A.

General. The Bank is subject to regulation and oversight by the OCC extending to all aspects of its operations. As part of this 
authority, the Bank is required to file periodic reports with the OCC and is subject to periodic examinations by the OCC and 
the FDIC. The investment and lending authorities of national banks are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such 
institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and 
supervision is primarily intended for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund.

The  OCC’s  enforcement  authority  over  national  banks  includes,  among  other  things,  the  ability  to  assess  civil  money 
penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions 
may  be  initiated  for  violations  of  laws  and  regulations  and  unsafe  or  unsound  practices.  Other  actions  or  inactions  may 
provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OCC.

Insurance  of  Accounts.  The  deposits  of  the  Bank  are  insured  to  the  maximum  extent  permitted  by  the  Deposit  Insurance 
Fund and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased deposit 
insurance  on  most  accounts  to  $250,000.  As  insurer,  the  FDIC  is  authorized  to  conduct  examinations  of,  and  to  require 

3

reporting  by,  insured  institutions.  It  also  may  prohibit  any  insured  institution  from  engaging  in  any  activity  determined  by 
regulation  or  order  to  pose  a  serious  threat  to  the  FDIC.  The  FDIC  also  has  the  authority  to  initiate  enforcement  actions 
against insured institutions.

The Dodd-Frank Act raises the minimum reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% to 1.35% and requires the 
FDIC  to  offset  the  effect  of  this  increase  on  insured  institutions  with  assets  of  less  than  $10  billion  (small  institutions).  In 
March 2016, the FDIC adopted a rule to accomplish this by imposing a surcharge on larger institutions commencing when the 
reserve  ratio  reaches  1.15%  and  ending  when  it  reaches  1.35%.  The  reserve  ratio  reached  1.15%  effective  as  of  June  30, 
2016. The surcharge period began effective July 1, 2016 and ended on September 30, 2018 when the reserve ratio reached 
1.36%. Small institutions received credits for the portion of their regular assessments that contributed to growth in the reserve 
ratio between 1.15% and 1.35%. The credits were applied to reduce regular assessments by 2.0 basis points for quarters when 
the reserve ratio is at least 1.38%.  

Effective July 1, 2016, the FDIC adopted changes that eliminated its risk-based premium system. Under the new premium 
system, the FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums on the assessment base of a depository institution, which is its average 
total  assets  reduced  by  the  amount  of  its  average  tangible  equity.  For  a  small  institution  (one  with  assets  of  less  than  $10 
billion) that has been federally insured for at least five years, effective July 1, 2016, the initial base assessment rate ranges 
from 3 to 30 basis points, based on the institution’s CAMELS composite and component ratings and certain financial ratios; 
its  leverage  ratio;  its  ratio  of  net  income  before  taxes  to  total  assets;  its  ratio  of  nonperforming  loans  and  leases  to  gross 
assets;  its  ratio  of  other  real  estate  owned  to  gross  assets;  its  brokered  deposits  ratio  (excluding  reciprocal  deposits  if  the 
institution is well capitalized and has a CAMELS composite rating of 1 or 2); its one year asset growth ratio (which penalizes 
growth adjusted for mergers in excess of 10%); and its loan mix index (which penalizes higher risk loans based on historical 
industry charge off rates). The initial base assessment rate is subject to downward adjustment (not below 1.5%) based on the 
ratio of unsecured debt the institution has issued to its assessment base, and to upward adjustment (which can cause the rate 
to exceed 30 basis points) based on its holdings of unsecured debt issued by other insured institutions. Institutions with assets 
of $10 billion or more are assessed using a scorecard method.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if it determines after a hearing that the 
institution  has  engaged  or  is  engaging  in  unsafe  or  unsound  practices,  is  in  an  unsafe  or  unsound  condition  to  continue 
operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the FDIC. It 
also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the 
institution  has  no  tangible  capital.  If  insurance  of  accounts  is  terminated,  the  accounts  at  the  institution  at  the  time  of  the 
termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined 
by  the  FDIC.  Management  is  aware  of  no  existing  circumstances  which  would  result  in  termination  of  the  Bank’s  deposit 
insurance.

Recent  Regulatory  Capital  Regulations.  In  July  of  2013,  the  respective  U.S.  federal  banking  agencies  issued  final  rules 
implementing  Basel  III  and  the  Dodd-Frank  Act  capital  requirements  which  became  fully  phased  in  on  a  global  basis  on 
January  1,  2019.  The  regulations  establish  a  new  tangible  common  equity  capital  requirement,  increase  the  minimum 
requirement for the current Tier 1 risk-weighted asset (“RWA”) ratio, phase out certain kinds of intangibles treated as capital 
and certain types of instruments and change the risk weightings of certain assets used to determine required capital ratios. The 
new common equity Tier 1 capital component requires capital of the highest quality – predominantly composed of retained 
earnings  and  common  stock  instruments.  For  community  banks,  such  as  Home  Bank,  the  new  capital  rules  required  a 
common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and also increased the current minimum Tier 1 capital ratio from 4.0% to 6.0%.  
In addition, in order to make capital distributions and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction, an 
institution must also maintain greater than 2.5% in common equity attributable to a capital conservation buffer which became 
fully phased in on January 1, 2019. The new rules also increase the risk weights for several categories of assets, including an 
increase  from  100%  to  150%  for  certain  acquisition,  development  and  construction  loans  and  more  than  90-day  past  due 
exposures. The new capital rules maintain the general structure of the prompt corrective action rules (described below), but 
incorporate the new common equity Tier 1 capital requirement and the increased Tier 1 RWA requirement into the prompt 
corrective action framework.

Effective  January  1,  2020,  qualifying  community  banking  organizations  may  elect  to  comply  with  a  greater  than  9% 
community bank leverage ratio (the “CBLR”) requirement in lieu of the currently applicable requirements for calculating and 
reporting risk-based capital ratios. The CBLR is equal to Tier 1 capital divided by average total consolidated assets. In order 
to qualify for the CBLR election, a community bank must (i) have a leverage capital ratio greater than 9 percent, (2) have less 
than $10 billion in average total consolidated assets, (3) not exceed certain levels of off-balance sheet exposure and trading 
assets plus trading liabilities and (4) not be an advanced approaches banking organization (generally an internationally active 
banking  organization  with  at  least  $250  billion  in  total  consolidated  assets  or  at  least  $10  billion  in  total  on-balance  sheet 

4

foreign exposure). A community bank that meets the above qualifications and elects to utilize the CBLR is considered to have 
satisfied the risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the generally applicable capital rules and is also considered to be 
“well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action rules. The Bank has not elected to be subject to the CBLR.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Unless a community bank qualifies for and elects to comply with the CBLR beginning 
on  January  1,  2020,  national  banks  are  required  to  maintain  the  minimum  levels  of  regulatory  capital  described  below. 
Current  OCC  capital  standards  require  these  institutions  to  satisfy  a  common  equity  Tier  1  capital  requirement,  a  leverage 
capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement. The common equity Tier 1 capital component generally consists of 
retained earnings and common stock instruments and must equal at least 4.5% of risk-weighted assets. Leverage capital, also 
known  as  “core”  capital,  must  equal  at  least  3.0%  of  adjusted  total  assets  for  the  most  highly  rated  national  banks.  Core 
capital generally consists of common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings). An additional cushion of at least 100 
basis points is required for all other institutions, which effectively increases their minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio to 4.0% or 
more.  Under  the  OCC’s  regulations,  the  most  highly-rated  national  banks  are  those  that  the  OCC  determines  are  strong 
banking organization and are rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System. Under the risk-based 
capital  requirement,  “total”  capital  (a  combination  of  core  and  “supplementary”  capital)  must  equal  at  least  8.0%  of  “risk-
weighted”  assets.  The  OCC  also  is  authorized  to  impose  capital  requirements  in  excess  of  these  standards  on  individual 
institutions on a case-by-case basis.

In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a national bank is allowed to include both core capital and 
supplementary  capital  in  its  total  capital,  provided  that  the  amount  of  supplementary  capital  included  does  not  exceed  the 
national bank’s core capital. Supplementary capital generally consists of general allowances for loan losses up to a maximum 
of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, together with certain other items. In determining the required amount of risk-based capital, 
total assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight based on the risks inherent in the type of 
assets. The Bank does not have any assets assigned to a risk category over 400%.    

National banks must value securities available for sale at amortized cost for regulatory capital purposes. This means that in 
computing regulatory capital, national banks should add back any unrealized losses and deduct any unrealized gains, net of 
income  taxes,  on  debt  securities  reported  as  a  separate  component  of  capital,  as  defined  by  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles.

At December 31, 2020, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements, with Tier 1, Tier 1 common equity, Tier 
1  common  equity  (to  risk-weighted  assets)  and  total  risk-based  capital  ratios  of  9.68%,  13.92%,  13.92%  and  15.18%, 
respectively.

Any  national  bank  that  fails  any  of  the  capital  requirements  is  subject  to  possible  enforcement  action  by  the  OCC  or  the 
FDIC.  Such  action  could  include  a  capital  directive,  a  cease  and  desist  order,  civil  money  penalties,  the  establishment  of 
restrictions on the institution’s operations, termination of federal deposit insurance and the appointment of a conservator or 
receiver.  The  OCC’s  capital  regulations  provide  that  such  actions,  through  enforcement  proceedings  or  otherwise,  could 
require one or more of a variety of corrective actions.

Prompt Corrective Action. The following table shows the amount of capital associated with the different capital categories 
set forth in the prompt corrective action regulations.

In addition, an institution is “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or 
less  than  2.0%.  Under  specified  circumstances,  a  federal  banking  agency  may  reclassify  a  well-capitalized  institution  as 
adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution to comply with 
supervisory  actions  as  if  it  were  in  the  next  lower  category  (except  that  the  OCC  may  not  reclassify  a  significantly 
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).

5

An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which meets specified requirements within 45 days of the 
date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or 
critically  undercapitalized.  A  federal  banking  agency  must  provide  the  institution  with  written  notice  of  approval  or 
disapproval within 60 days after receiving a capital restoration plan, subject to extensions by the agency. An institution which 
is  required  to  submit  a  capital  restoration  plan  must  concurrently  submit  a  performance  guaranty  by  each  company  that 
controls  the  institution.  In  addition,  undercapitalized  institutions  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  restrictions,  and  the 
appropriate federal banking agency also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions.

As of December 31, 2020, the Bank was deemed a well-capitalized institution for purposes of the above regulations and as 
such is not subject to the above mentioned restrictions.

CARES Act and CAA, 2021. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress, through the enactment of the CARES Act, 
and  the  federal  banking  agencies,  though  rulemaking,  interpretive  guidance  and  modifications  to  agency  policies  and 
procedures, have taken a series of actions to provide national emergency economic relief measures including, among others, 
the following: 

i.

i.

i.

The CARES Act allows banks to elect to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the 
COVID-19 pandemic (for loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019) that would 
otherwise be categorized as a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes, until the earlier of 60 days 
after  the  termination  date  of  the  national  emergency  or  December  31,  2020.    The  suspension  of  GAAP  is 
applicable  for  the  entire  term  of  the  modification.  The  federal  banking  agencies  also  issued  guidance  to 
encourage banks to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 by providing that short-term 
modifications made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment 
terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 
days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification is implemented is not a TDR. The Bank is 
applying  this  guidance  to  qualifying  COVID-19  Modifications.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Bank  had  an 
aggregate of $36.0 million in outstanding loans that had been modified which, pursuant to this provision of the 
CARES Act, were not deemed to be TDRs at such date.

The  CARES  Act  amended  the  SBA’s  loan  program,  in  which  the  Bank  participates,  to  create  a  guaranteed, 
unsecured loan program, the PPP, to fund payroll and operational costs of eligible businesses, organizations and 
self-employed  persons  during  COVID-19.  The  loans  are  provided  through  participating  financial  institutions, 
such as the Bank, that process loan applications and service the loans and are eligible for SBA repayment and 
loan forgiveness if the borrower meets the PPP conditions. The application period for a SBA PPP loan closed on 
August 8, 2020. The SBA began approving PPP forgiveness applications and remitting forgiveness payments to 
PPP lenders on October 2, 2020. The CAA, 2021, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, renews and 
extends  the  PPP  until  March  31,  2021.    As  a  result,  as  a  participating  lender,  the  Bank  began  originating  PPP 
loans again in January 2021 and will continue to monitor legislative, regulatory, and supervisory developments 
related to the PPP.
Concurrent with enactment of the CARES Act, federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that delays 
the estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL. The interim final rule provides 
banking  organizations  that  implement  CECL  before  the  end  of  2020  the  option  to  delay  for  two  years  the 
estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred 
loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit 
provided  during  the  initial  two-year  delay.  The  changes  in  the  final  rule  apply  only  to  those  banking 
organizations  that  elect  the  CECL  transition  relief  provided  under  the  rule.  The  Company  did  not  elect  this 
option. 

As  the  on-going  COVID-19  pandemic  evolves,  federal  regulatory  authorities  continue  to  issue  additional  guidance  with 
respect  to  the  implementation,  lifecycle,  and  eligibility  requirements  for  the  various  CARES  Act  programs  as  well  as 
industry-specific  recovery  procedures  for  COVID-19.  In  addition,  it  is  possible  that  Congress  will  enact  supplementary 
COVID-19  response  legislation.  The  Company  continues  to  assess  the  impact  of  the  CARES  Act  and  other  statutes, 
regulations and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information regarding actions taken 
by regulatory agencies to provide relief to consumers who have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, see the 
discussion below under "Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic."

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All insured depository institutions have a responsibility under the 
Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and 
moderate-income  borrowers.  The  Office  of  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency  is  required  to  assess  the  Bank’s  record  of 
compliance  with  the  Community  Reinvestment  Act.  A  bank’s  failure  to  comply  with  the  provisions  of  the  Community 
Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in 
restrictions  on  its  activities.  In  addition,  the  Equal  Credit  Opportunity  Act  and  the  Fair  Housing  Act  prohibit  lenders  from 
discriminating in their lending practices. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing 
Act could result in enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as other federal regulatory 
agencies and the Department of Justice.

In June 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a final rule clarifying and expanding the activities that 
qualify  for  Community  Reinvestment  Act  credit  and,  according  to  the  agency,  seeking  to  create  a  more  consistent  and 
objective  method  for  evaluating  Community  Reinvestment  Act  performance.  The  final  rule  became  effective  October  1, 
2020, but compliance with the revised requirements is not mandatory until January 1, 2023.

The Community Reinvestment Act requires all institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to publicly 
disclose  their  rating.  The  Bank  received  a  “Outstanding”  Community  Reinvestment  Act  rating  in  its  most  recent  federal 
examination.

Limitations  on  Dividends.  OCC  regulations  impose  various  restrictions  on  the  ability  of  the  Bank  to  pay  dividends.  The 
Bank generally may pay dividends during any calendar year in an amount up to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus 
retained net income for the two preceding years, so long as it is well-capitalized after the distribution. If the Bank proposes to 
pay a dividend when it does not meet its capital requirements or that will exceed these limitations, it must obtain the OCC’s 
prior approval. The OCC may object to a proposed dividend based on safety and soundness concerns. No insured depository 
institution may pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the institution would be undercapitalized. In addition, as noted 
above,  if Home Bank does not have the required capital conservation buffer, its ability to pay dividends to the Company will 
be limited.

Limitations  on  Transactions  with  Affiliates.  Transactions  between  a  national  bank  and  any  affiliate  are  governed  by 
Sections  23A  and  23B  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Act.  An  affiliate  of  a  national  bank  includes  any  company  or  entity  which 
controls the national bank or that is controlled by a company that controls the national bank. In a holding company context, 
the  holding  company  of  a  national  bank  (such  as  the  Company)  and  any  companies  which  are  controlled  by  such  holding 
company  are  affiliates  of  the  national  bank.  Generally,  Section  23A  limits  the  extent  to  which  the  national  bank  or  its 
subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such bank’s capital 
stock and surplus, and contains an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of 
such capital stock and surplus. Section 23B applies to “covered transactions” as well as certain other transactions and requires 
that all transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the national bank as those provided to a 
non-affiliate.  The  term  “covered  transaction”  includes  the  making  of  loans  to,  purchase  of  assets  from  and  issuance  of  a 
guarantee to an affiliate and similar transactions. Section 23B transactions also include the provision of services and the sale 
of assets by a national bank to an affiliate.

In addition, Sections 22(g) and (h) of the Federal Reserve Act, place restrictions on loans to executive officers, directors and 
principal shareholders of a national bank and its affiliates. Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, an executive officer, a 
greater than 10% shareholder of a national bank and certain affiliated interests of either, may not exceed, together with all 
other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, a national bank’s loans to one borrower limit (generally equal 
to 15% of the bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus). Section 22(h) also requires that loans to directors, executive officers 
and principal shareholders be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons 
unless the loans are made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that (i) is widely available to employees of the bank 
and (ii) does not give preference to any director, executive officer or principal shareholder or certain affiliated interests of 
either,  over  other  employees  of  the  national  bank.  Section  22(h)  also  requires  prior  board  approval  for  certain  loans.  In 
addition, the aggregate amount of extensions of credit by a national bank to all insiders cannot exceed the bank’s unimpaired 
capital  and  surplus.  Furthermore,  Section  22(g)  places  additional  restrictions  on  loans  to  executive  officers.  The  Bank 
currently is subject to Sections 22(g) and (h) of the Federal Reserve Act, and as of December 31, 2020 was in compliance 
with the above restrictions.

Consumer Financial Services. The historical structure of federal consumer protection regulation applicable to all providers 
of  consumer  financial  products  and  services  changed  significantly  with  the  establishment  of  the  Consumer  Financial 
Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) as part of the Dodd-Frank Act reforms. On July 21, 2011, the CFPB commenced operations to 
supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer 
protection laws that apply to all providers of consumer products and services, including the Bank, as well as the authority to 
prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over providers 
with more than $10 billion in assets. FDIC-insured institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, like the Bank, continue to be 
examined by their applicable bank regulators.

Anti-money Laundering. All financial institutions, including national banks, are subject to federal laws that are designed to 
prevent the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Financial institutions operating in the United States 
must develop anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and 
reporting  of  money  laundering.  Such  compliance  programs  are  intended  to  supplement  compliance  requirements,  also 
applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations. The 
Bank has established policies and procedures to ensure compliance with these provisions.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Dallas, which is one of 11 regional FHLBs that 
administer  the  home  financing  credit  function  of  various  financial  institutions.  The  FHLBs  provides  financial  institutions 
additional  strength  to  serve  their  communities  through  financial  services  to  support  its  mission  of  affordable  housing  and 
economic  development.  Each  FHLB  serves  as  a  reserve  or  central  bank  for  its  members  within  its  assigned  region.  It  is 
funded  primarily  from  proceeds  derived  from  the  sale  of  consolidated  obligations  of  the  FHLB  System.  It  makes  loans  to 
members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of directors of the FHLB. As of 
December 31, 2020, the Bank had $28.8 million of FHLB advances and $787.2 million available on its line of credit with the 
FHLB.

As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Dallas in an amount equal to at least 0.4% 
of  its  total  assets  in  Class  B-1  stock  and  activity-based  investment  of  Class  B-2  stock  equal  to  4.1%  of  its  advances 
outstanding and 2.0% of acquired members advances currently on the Bank’s balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the 
Bank had $2.5 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.

Federal Reserve System. The FRB requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts 
and non-personal time deposits. The required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or an account at the FRB. 
As of December 31, 2020, the Bank had met its reserve requirement.

Privacy. Financial institutions are required to disclose their policies for collecting and protecting confidential information. 
Customers generally may prevent financial institutions from sharing personal financial information with nonaffiliated third 
parties except for third parties that market the institutions’ own products and services.

Additionally, financial institutions generally may not disclose consumer account numbers to any nonaffiliated third party for 
use  in  telemarketing,  direct  mail  marketing  or  other  marketing  through  electronic  mail  to  consumers.  The  Bank  has 
established  policies  and  procedures  designed  to  safeguard  its  customers’  personal  financial  information  and  to  ensure 
compliance with applicable privacy laws.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

In analyzing whether to make or to continue an investment in our securities, investors should consider, among other factors, 
the following risk factors.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  adversely  impacted  our  business  and  financial  results,  and  the  ultimate  impact  will 
depend  on  future  developments,  which  are  highly  uncertain  and  cannot  be  predicted,  including  the  scope  and 
duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  negatively  impacted  the  global  economy,  disrupted  global  supply  chains,  lowered  equity 
market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In 
addition,  the  pandemic  has  resulted  in  temporary  closures  of  many  businesses  and  the  institution  of  social  distancing  and 
sheltering in place requirements in Louisiana and many other states and communities. Global markets for oil and gas have, 
and may continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and/or other events beyond our control, and further 
volatility  in  commodity  prices  could  have  a  negative  impact  on  the  economies  of  energy-dominated  states  in  which  we 
operate. As a result, the demand for our products and services may be significantly impacted, which could adversely affect 
our revenue. Furthermore, the pandemic could continue to result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and 
increases  in  our  allowance  for  credit  losses,  particularly  if  businesses  remain  closed,  the  impact  on  the  global  economy 
worsens, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, 
because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize impairments on the 
securities  we  hold  as  well  as  reductions  in  other  comprehensive  income.  Our  business  operations  may  also  be  disrupted  if 
significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government 
actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, and we have already temporarily limited access to certain of 
our  branches  and  offices.  In  response  to  the  pandemic,  we  have  also  suspended  residential  property  foreclosure  sales, 
evictions,  and  involuntary  automobile  repossessions,  and  are  offering  fee  waivers,  payment  deferrals,  and  other  expanded 
assistance  for  credit  card,  automobile,  mortgage,  small  business  and  personal  lending  customers,  and  future  governmental 
actions  may  require  these  and  other  types  of  customer-related  responses.  The  extent  to  which  the  COVID-19  pandemic 
impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will 
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the 
pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Risks Related to Our Lending Activities

There  are  increased  risks  involved  with  commercial  real  estate,  including  multi-family  residential,  commercial  and 
industrial and construction and land lending activities.

Our lending activities include loans secured by commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. Our commercial 
real  estate  loans,  commercial  and  industrial  loans  and  multi-family  residential  loans  increased  by  an  aggregate  of  75.6%, 
198.9%  and  88.3%,  respectively,  from  December  31,  2016  through  December  31,  2020.  Excluding  PPP  loans,  our 
commercial and industrial loans increased by an aggregate of 40.7% over the same time period. Generally, commercial real 
estate,  commercial  and  industrial  and  multi-family  residential  lending  involve  a  higher  degree  of  risk  than  single-family 
residential lending due to a variety of factors. Due to the larger loan balances typically involved in these loans, an adverse 
development  with  respect  to  one  loan  or  one  borrower  relationship  can  expose  us  to  greater  risk  of  loss  compared  to  an 
adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. As of December 31, 2020, the largest 
outstanding balances of our commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and multi-family residential loans were $23.4 
million, $8.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively. If a large loan were to become non-performing, as we have experienced 
in  the  past,  it  can  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  results  of  operations.  Because  we  intend  to  continue  our  growth  in 
commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and multi-family residential loans, our credit risk exposure may increase 
and  we  may  need  to  make  additional  provisions  to  our  allowance  for  loan  losses,  which  could  adversely  affect  our  future 
results of operations.

9

In  addition  to  commercial  real  estate  and  commercial  and  industrial,  and  multi-family  residential  loans,  the  Bank  holds  a 
significant  portfolio  of  construction  and  land  loans.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Bank’s  construction  and  land  loans 
amounted to $221.8 million, or 11.2% of our loan portfolio. Construction and land loans generally have a higher risk of loss 
than single-family residential mortgage loans due primarily to the critical nature of the initial estimates of a property’s value 
upon  completion  of  construction  compared  to  the  estimated  costs,  including  interest,  of  construction  as  well  as  other 
assumptions.  If  the  estimates  upon  which  construction  loans  are  made  prove  to  be  inaccurate,  we  may  be  confronted  with 
projects that, upon completion, have values which are below the loan amounts. If the Bank is forced to liquidate the collateral 
associated with such loans at values less than the remaining loan balance, it could have a significant impact on our results of 
operations.

Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Risks Related to Market Interest Rates

The operations of financial institutions are dependent to a large extent on net interest income, which is the difference between 
the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net 
interest income by affecting the difference between the weighted average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the 
weighted  average  rate  paid  on  our  interest-bearing  liabilities,  or  interest  rate  spread,  and  the  average  life  of  our  interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. If general market rates of interest increase, our interest expense on deposits and 
borrowings would likely increase which could adversely affect our interest rate spread and net interest income. Changes in 
interest rates also can affect our ability to originate loans, the value of our interest-earning assets and our ability to realize 
gains  from  the  sale  of  such  assets,  our  ability  to  obtain  and  retain  deposits  in  competition  with  other  available  investment 
alternatives and the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans. Interest rates are highly sensitive to 
many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and 
other factors beyond our control.

Fluctuations in interest rates due to economic conditions and governmental or regulatory policies may adversely affect 
our net interest income and profitability.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and 
the policies of the FRB and other governmental and regulatory agencies. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in 
interest rates, will influence the origination of loans, the prepayment of loans, the fair value of existing assets and liabilities, 
the purchase of investments, the retention and generation of deposits and the rates received on loans and investment securities 
and  paid  on  deposits  or  other  sources  of  funding.  If  the  interest  rates  paid  on  deposits  and  other  borrowings  increase  at  a 
faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our earnings could be adversely affected. Earnings 
could  also  be  adversely  affected  if  the  interest  rates  received  on  loans  and  other  investments  fall  more  quickly  than  the 
interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. We have adopted asset and liability management policies to mitigate the 
potential adverse effects of changes in interest rates on net interest income or earnings. However, even with these policies in 
place, a change in interest rates can impact our results of operations or financial condition.

The  Alternative  Reference  Rates  Committee  ("ARRC")  has  proposed  that  the  Secured  Overnight  Funding  Rate  ("SOFR") 
replace USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed that the transition to SOFR from USD-LIBOR will take place by the end of 2021. 
The Company has contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR. Industry organizations are currently working on the transition 
plan. The Company is currently monitoring this activity and evaluating the risks involved.

Risks Related to Our Market Areas

Our business is geographically concentrated in south Louisiana and west Mississippi, which are areas where the oil 
and  gas  industry  has  a  significant  presence.  Low  prices  in  crude  oil  and  gas,  among  other  factors,  could  cause  a 
downturn  in  the  local  economy,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Company’s  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

Most of our loans are to individuals and businesses located in south Louisiana and west Mississippi. The oil and gas industry 
has a significant presence in the market areas in which we operate. Regional economic conditions affect the demand for our 
products and services as well as the ability of our customers to repay loans. Crude oil prices have declined considerably since 
mid-2014 and global markets for oil and gas have, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic 
and/or other events beyond our control. Continued fluctuations in crude oil prices could adversely affect our operations and 
economic conditions in some of our markets during 2021 and future periods, which could adversely affect our future results 
of  operations.  Although  the  Company  attempts  to  mitigate  risk  by  diversifying  its  borrower  base,  approximately  $31.3 
million, or 1.6% of the Company’s loan portfolio, at December 31, 2020 was comprised of loans to borrowers in the oil and 
gas  industry  (which  is  also  referred  to  as  the  “energy  sector”).  We  had  an  additional  $10.1  million  in  unfunded  loan 
commitments to companies in the energy sector at such date. At December 31, 2020, $2.7 million of our loans in the energy 
sector  were  on  nonaccrual  status,  and  $1.6  million  of  our  total  allowance  for  loan  losses  was  attributable  to  energy  sector 
loans. Historically, the oil and gas industry has been an important factor in the local economy in our Acadiana and Natchez 
markets. If oil prices continue to remain low, it could have an adverse effect on our customers resulting in increased levels of 
nonperforming loans, provisions for loan losses and expense associated with loan collection efforts.

A natural disaster, especially one affecting our market areas, could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition 
and results of operations.

Since  a  considerable  portion  of  our  business  is  conducted  in  south  Louisiana,  most  of  our  credit  exposure  is  in  that  area. 
Historically, south Louisiana has been vulnerable to natural disasters, including hurricanes and floods. Natural disasters could 
harm  our  operations  directly  through  interference  with  communications,  which  would  prevent  us  from  gathering  deposits, 
originating loans and processing and controlling our flow of business, as well as through the destruction of facilities and our 
operational, financial and management information systems. A natural disaster or recurring power outages may also impair 
the value of our loan portfolio, as uninsured or underinsured losses, including losses from business disruption, may reduce 
our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans. Disasters may also reduce the value of the real estate securing our loans, impairing 
our  ability  to  recover  on  defaulted  loans  through  foreclosure  and  making  it  more  likely  that  we  would  suffer  losses  on 
defaulted loans. Although we have implemented several back-up systems and protections (and maintain business interruption 
insurance), these measures may not protect us fully from the effects of a natural disaster. The occurrence of natural disasters 
in  our  market  areas  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  prospects,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

Economic  conditions  could  result  in  increases  in  our  level  of  non-performing  loans  and/or  reduce  demand  for  our 
products and services, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Prolonged deteriorating economic conditions could significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the value of our 
loans and investment securities and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability. Further, declines in real estate values and 
sales volumes and elevated unemployment levels may result in higher loan delinquencies, increases in our non-performing 
and classified assets and a decline in demand for our products and services. These events may cause us to incur losses and 
may  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Reduction  in  problem  assets  can  be  slow,  and  the 
process can be exacerbated by the condition of the properties securing non-performing loans and the length of time involved 
in the foreclosure process. To the extent that we must work through the resolution of assets, economic problems may cause us 
to incur losses and adversely affect our capital, liquidity and financial condition.

11

Risks Related to Accounting Matters

Our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover losses over the life of our financial assets.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduced a new model 
known as CECL. The new standard significantly changed the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at 
amortized cost, including off-balance sheet credit exposures, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. We have 
established  an  allowance  for  credit  losses,  which  includes  the  allowance  for  loans  losses  and  losses  on  unfunded  lending 
commitments, based upon various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio which we believe 
is  adequate  to  offset  expected  losses  on  our  existing  financial  assets.  Determining  the  appropriateness  of  the  allowance 
requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in factors and forecasts 
used in evaluating the overall loan portfolio may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses and related 
provision  expense  in  future  periods.  The  allowance  level  is  influenced  by  loan  volumes,  loan  asset  quality  ratings, 
delinquency  status,  historical  credit  loss  experience,  loan  performance  characteristics,  forecasted  information  and  other 
conditions  influencing  loss  expectations.  Changes  to  the  assumptions  in  the  model  in  future  periods  could  have  a  material 
impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. 

While we are not aware of any specific factors indicating a deficiency in the amount of our allowance for credit losses, in 
light of the current economic environment, one of the most pressing issues faced by financial institutions is the adequacy of 
their allowance for credit losses. Federal bank regulators routinely scrutinize the level of the allowance for credit losses 
maintained by regulated institutions. In the event that we have to increase our allowance for credit losses beyond current 
levels, it would have an adverse effect on our results in future periods. As of December 31, 2020, our allowance for loan 
losses amounted to $33.0 million, or 1.66% of total loans and our total allowance for credit losses amounted to $34.4 million, 
or 1.74% of total loans. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the Company's 
methodologies for estimating expected credit losses.

Our decisions regarding the fair value of assets acquired could be inaccurate, which could materially and adversely 
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Management  makes  various  assumptions  and  judgments  about  the  collectability  of  acquired  loan  portfolios,  including  the 
creditworthiness  of  borrowers  and  the  value  of  the  real  estate  and  other  assets  serving  as  collateral  for  the  repayment  of 
secured  loans.  If  our  assumptions  are  incorrect,  increased  loss  reserves  may  be  needed  to  respond  to  different  economic 
conditions or adverse developments in the acquired loan portfolio. Any increase in future loan losses would have a negative 
effect on our operating results.

Declines in the value of our investment securities may require us to take additional charges to earnings.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduced a new model 
known as CECL. ASC 326 requires expected credit related losses for available for sale debt securities to be recorded through 
an allowance for credit losses, while non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through other comprehensive 
income. The Company’s held to maturity debt securities are also required to utilize the CECL approach to estimate expected 
credit losses.  

We  evaluate  our  securities  portfolio  for  impairment  at  least  quarterly,  and  more  frequently  when  economic  and  market 
conditions  warrant  such  evaluations.  If  this  evaluation  indicates  the  existence  of  credit  losses,  the  Company  compares  the 
present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis. If the present value of 
expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis, an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited by the amount 
that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost. Delinquencies and defaults in the mortgage loans underlying 
these securities may adversely affect the cash flows received by us and may result in a conclusion in future periods that credit 
losses are expected from our securities portfolio. Such a conclusion, would require us to take additional charges to earnings to 
establish an allowance for credit lo for these securities.

12

Our  goodwill  may  be  determined  to  be  impaired  at  a  future  date  depending  on  the  results  of  periodic  impairment 
tests.

We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if necessary. If the quoted market price of our common stock 
were to decline significantly and the total book value of the Company, including goodwill, exceeded its fair value, we could 
be required to write down the amount recorded for goodwill. This, in turn, would result in a charge to earnings and, thus, a 
reduction  in  shareholders’  equity.  See  Notes  2  and  8  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  additional  information 
concerning our goodwill and the required impairment test.

Changes  in  accounting  policies  or  in  accounting  standards  could  materially  affect  how  we  report  our  financial 
condition and results of operations.

Our  accounting  policies  are  fundamental  to  the  understanding  of  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  The 
preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United 
States (“GAAP”) requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements by 
affecting the value of our assets or liabilities and results of operations. Some of our accounting policies are critical because 
they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and 
because materially different amounts may be reported if different estimates or assumptions were used. If such estimates or 
assumptions underlying the financial statements are incorrect, we could experience material losses. From time to time, the 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards or the 
interpretation of such standards that govern the preparation of our external financial statements. These changes are beyond 
our  control,  can  be  difficult  to  predict  and  could  materially  impact  how  we  report  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. Additionally, it is possible, if unlikely, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retrospectively, 
resulting in the restatement of prior period financial statements in material amounts.

Risks Related to Our Business Strategy

We are subject to certain risks in connection with our strategy of growing through mergers and acquisitions.

Mergers and acquisitions are currently a component of our business model and growth strategy. Accordingly, it is possible 
that  we  could  acquire  other  banking  institutions,  other  financial  services  companies  or  branches  of  banks  in  the  future. 
Acquisitions  typically  involve  the  payment  of  a  premium  over  book  and  trading  values  and,  therefore,  may  result  in  the 
dilution of our tangible book value per share. Our ability to engage in future mergers and acquisitions depends on various 
factors, including: (1) our ability to identify suitable merger partners and acquisition opportunities; (2) our ability to finance 
and complete transactions on acceptable terms and at acceptable prices; and (3) our ability to receive the necessary regulatory 
and, when required, shareholder approvals. Our inability to engage in an acquisition or merger for any of these reasons could 
have  an  adverse  impact  on  the  implementation  of  our  business  strategies.  Furthermore,  mergers  and  acquisitions  involve  a 
number  of  risks  and  challenges,  including:  (1)  our  ability  to  achieve  planned  synergies  and  to  integrate  the  branches  and 
operations we acquire and the internal controls and regulatory functions into our current operations and (2) the diversion of 
management’s attention from existing operations, which may adversely affect our ability to successfully conduct our business 
and negatively impact our financial results.

Our financial performance and future growth may be negatively affected if we are unable to successfully execute our 
growth plans, which may include acquisitions.

Over the past several years, we have grown our branch system primarily through acquisitions of other financial institutions. 
Our ability to successfully acquire other institutions depends on our ability to identify, acquire and integrate such institutions 
into our franchise. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if our analysis of past or future acquisitions was not 
complete and correct or our integration efforts were not successful. Currently, we have no agreements or understandings with 
anyone regarding a future acquisition.

13

Risks Related to Our Operational and Information Technology Systems

A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, could impair our liquidity, disrupt our 
businesses,  result  in  the  unauthorized  disclosure  of  confidential  information,  damage  our  reputation  and  cause 
financial losses.

Our ability to adequately conduct and grow our business is dependent on our ability to create and maintain an appropriate 
operational and organizational control infrastructure. Operational risk can arise in numerous ways including employee fraud, 
customer  fraud  and  control  lapses  in  bank  operations  and  information  technology.  Our  dependence  on  our  employees  and 
automated  systems,  including  the  automated  systems  used  by  acquired  entities  and  third  parties,  to  record  and  process 
transactions may further increase the risk that technical failures or tampering of those systems will result in losses that are 
difficult to detect. We are also subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially 
beyond our control. Failure to maintain an appropriate operational infrastructure can lead to loss of service to customers, legal 
actions and noncompliance with various laws and regulations.

We continuously monitor our operational and technological capabilities and make modifications and improvements when we 
believe it will be cost effective to do so. In some instances, we may build and maintain these capabilities ourselves. We also 
outsource  some  of  these  functions  to  third  parties.  These  third  parties  may  experience  errors  or  disruptions  that  could 
adversely impact us and over which we may have limited control. We also face risk from the integration of new infrastructure 
platforms and/or new third party providers of such platforms into its existing businesses.

System failure or cybersecurity breaches of our network security could subject us to increased operating costs as well 
as litigation and other potential losses.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. The computer systems and network 
infrastructure  we  use  could  be  vulnerable  to  unforeseen  hardware  and  cybersecurity  issues.  Our  operations  are  dependent 
upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a 
similar catastrophic event. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have an adverse effect 
on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect the 
computer systems and network infrastructure we use, including our Internet banking activities, against damage from physical 
break-ins,  cybersecurity  breaches  and  other  disruptive  problems  caused  by  the  internet  or  users.  Such  problems  could 
jeopardize the security of our customers’ personal information and other information stored in and transmitted through our 
computer  systems  and  network  infrastructure,  which  may  result  in  significant  liability  to  us,  subject  us  to  additional 
regulatory scrutiny, damage our reputation, result in a loss of customers or inhibit current and potential customers from our 
internet banking services. Any or all of these problems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and 
financial condition. Although we have security measures, including firewalls and penetration tests, designed to mitigate the 
possibility of break-ins, breaches and other disruptive problems, there can be no assurance that such security measures will be 
effective in preventing such problems.

We are dependent on our information technology and telecommunications systems and third-party service providers; 
systems failures, interruptions and cybersecurity breaches could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our  business  is  dependent  on  the  successful  and  uninterrupted  functioning  of  our  information  technology  and 
telecommunications  systems  and  third-party  service  providers.  The  failure  of  these  systems,  or  the  termination  of  a  third-
party software license or service agreement on which any of these systems is based, could interrupt our operations. Because 
our  information  technology  and  telecommunications  systems  interface  with  and  depend  on  third-party  systems,  we  could 
experience  service  denials  if  demand  for  such  services  exceeds  capacity  or  such  third-party  systems  fail  or  experience 
interruptions. If significant, sustained or repeated, a system failure or service denial could compromise our ability to operate 
effectively, damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business and/or subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny 
and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our third-party service providers may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes and other 
security  breaches.  We  likely  will  expend  additional  resources  to  protect  against  the  threat  of  such  security  breaches  and 
computer viruses, or to alleviate problems caused by such security breaches or viruses. To the extent that the activities of our 
third-party  service  providers  or  the  activities  of  our  customers  involve  the  storage  and  transmission  of  confidential 
information, security breaches and viruses could expose us to claims, regulatory scrutiny, litigation costs and other possible 
liabilities.

14

The  occurrence  of  fraudulent  activity,  breaches  or  failures  of  our  information  security  controls  or  cybersecurity-
related incidents could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and 
growth prospects.

As  a  bank,  we  are  susceptible  to  fraudulent  activity,  information  security  breaches  and  cybersecurity-related  incidents  that 
may be committed against us or our customers, which may result in financial losses or increased costs to us or our customers, 
disclosure or misuse of our information or our customer information, misappropriation of assets, privacy breaches against our 
customers,  litigation  or  damage  to  our  reputation.  Such  fraudulent  activity  may  take  many  forms,  including  check  fraud, 
electronic  fraud,  wire  fraud,  phishing,  social  engineering  and  other  dishonest  acts.  Information  security  breaches  and 
cybersecurity-related incidents may include fraudulent or unauthorized access to systems used by us or our customers, denial 
or  degradation  of  service  attacks  and  malware  or  other  cyber-attacks.  In  recent  periods,  there  continues  to  be  a  rise  in 
electronic  fraudulent  activity,  security  breaches  and  cyber-attacks  within  the  financial  services  industry,  especially  in  the 
commercial banking sector due to cyber criminals targeting commercial bank accounts. Moreover, in recent periods, several 
large  corporations,  including  financial  institutions  and  retail  companies,  have  suffered  major  data  breaches,  in  some  cases 
exposing  not  only  confidential  and  proprietary  corporate  information,  but  also  sensitive  financial  and  other  personal 
information of their customers and employees and subjecting them to potential fraudulent activity. Some of our customers 
may have been affected by these breaches, which could increase their risks of identity theft and other fraudulent activity that 
could involve their accounts with us.

Information pertaining to us and our customers is maintained, and transactions are executed, on networks and systems 
maintained by us and certain third-party partners, such as our online banking, mobile banking or accounting systems. The 
secure maintenance and transmission of confidential information, as well as execution of transactions over these systems, are 
essential to protect us and our customers against fraud and security breaches and to maintain the confidence of our customers. 
Breaches of information security also may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by those having access to our 
systems or the confidential information of our customers, including employees. In addition, increases in criminal activity 
levels and sophistication, advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries, vulnerabilities in third-party technologies 
(including browsers and operating systems) or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology, 
processes and controls that we use to prevent fraudulent transactions and protect data about us, our customers and underlying 
transactions, as well as the technology used by our customers to access our systems. Our third-party partners’ inability to 
anticipate, or failure to adequately mitigate, breaches of security could result in a number of negative events, including losses 
to us or our customers, loss of business or customers, damage to our reputation, the incurrence of additional expenses, 
disruption to our business, additional regulatory scrutiny, penalties or exposure to civil litigation and possible financial 
liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and 
growth prospects.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Generally

We face strong competition which adversely affects our profitability.

We are subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and areas of our business from banks and other financial institutions. 
We  are  significantly  smaller  than  several  of  the  larger  depository  institutions  operating  in  our  market  areas.  The  financial 
resources of these larger competitors may permit them to pay higher interest rates on their deposits and to be more aggressive 
in  new  loan  originations.  We  also  compete  with  non-financial  institutions,  including  retail  stores  that  maintain  their  own 
credit  programs,  governmental  agencies  that  make  available  low  cost  or  guaranteed  loans  to  certain  borrowers  and  non-
traditional financial technology firms that are offering an increasing array of online loan, deposit and treasury management 
products.  Some  of  our  larger  competitors  have  substantially  greater  resources,  technological  capabilities,  lending  limits, 
branch  systems  and  a  wider  array  of  commercial  banking  services.  Vigorous  competition  from  both  bank  and  non-bank 
organizations is expected to continue.

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and we may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the FRB, the OCC and the FDIC. Such regulation and 
supervision governs the activities in which an institution and its holding company may engage and are intended primarily for 
the  protection  of  the  insurance  fund  and  the  depositors  and  borrowers  of  the  Bank  rather  than  for  holders  of  our  common 
stock.  Regulatory  authorities  have  extensive  discretion  in  their  supervisory  and  enforcement  activities,  including  the 
imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for 
loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or 
supervisory action, may have a material impact on our operations.

We may be adversely affected by recent changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations.

Changes in tax laws contained in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted in December 2017, included a number of 
provisions that have an impact on the banking industry, borrowers and the market for residential real estate. Included in this 
legislation was a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. In addition, other changes included: (i) a lower 
limit  on  the  deductibility  of  mortgage  interest  on  single-family  residential  mortgage  loans,  (ii)  the  elimination  of  interest 
deductions for home equity loans, (iii) a limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense and (iv) a limitation on 
the deductibility of property taxes and state and local income taxes.

The recent changes in the tax laws may have an adverse effect on the market for, and valuation of, residential properties, and 
on the demand for such loans in the future, and could make it harder for borrowers to make their loan payments. If home 
ownership becomes less attractive, demand for mortgage loans could decrease. The value of the properties securing loans in 
our loan portfolio may be adversely impacted as a result of the changing economics of home ownership, which could require 
an increase in our provision for loan losses, which would reduce our profitability and could materially adversely affect our 
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Properties.

We  currently  conduct  business  from  20  banking  offices  in  Acadiana,  four  banking  offices  in  Baton  Rouge,  six  banking 
offices  in  Greater  New  Orleans,  six  banking  offices  in  the  Northshore  (of  Lake  Pontchartrain)  region  of  Louisiana,  three 
banking  offices  in  Natchez,  Mississippi,  and  one  banking  office  in  Vicksburg,  Mississippi.  The  Bank  owns  37  of  its  40 
banking offices. The Bank leases the land for one banking office in our Northshore market, and leases one banking office in 
Acadiana, Baton Rouge and Greater New Orleans, respectively.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

From time-to-time, the Bank is named as a defendant in various legal actions arising from the normal course of business in 
which damages of various amounts may be claimed. While the amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to any such 
matters cannot be currently determined, management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that any such liability will 
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2)

Average interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid 
on interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Taxable equivalent yields are 
calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and 35% for the years ended 
December 31, 2017 and 2016.
The  efficiency  ratio  represents  noninterest  expense  as  a  percentage  of  total  revenues.  Total  revenues  is  the  sum  of  net  interest 
income and noninterest income.
Asset quality and capital ratios are end of period ratios.
Due  to  the  adoption  of  ASC  326,  asset  quality  ratios  are  based  on  total  non-performing  assets  at  December  31,  2020.    For  the 
periods prior to January 1, 2020, asset quality ratios represent originated non-performing assets. Acquired nonimpaired loans, which 
were on nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due, and acquired assets, which were foreclosed assets or ORE, are not included for 
periods prior to January 1, 2020. Acquired nonimpaired loans, which were on nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due totaled $9.8 
million,  $9.0  million,  $2.7  million  and  $1.5  million  at  December  31,  2019,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  respectively.  Acquired  assets, 
which were foreclosed assets or ORE, totaled $2.4 million, $1.4 million, $584,000 and $2.2 million, at December 31, 2019, 2018, 
2017  and  2016,  respectively.  Refer  to  Note  2  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  more  information  on  the  adoption  of

MANAGEMENT’S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF 
OPERATIONS

The following is an analysis and discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Home Bancorp, Inc. (the 
“Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). This discussion and analysis should be read 
in  conjunction  with  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  related  notes  included  herein  in  Part  II,  Item  8,  “Financial 
Statements and Supplementary Data” and the description of our business included herein in Part 1, Item 1 “Business”.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The  Company  reported  net  income  for  2020  of  $24.8  million,  or  $2.85  diluted  EPS  compared  to  $27.9  million,  or  $3.05 
diluted EPS, reported for 2019. Our 2020 results reflect increased reserve builds during the first half of 2020 primarily due to 
the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of  provision for loan loss expense was partially offset by an increase in net 
interest income, which was primarily driven by low interest rates on deposits and PPP loan income.

Highlights of the Company’s performance for the year ended December 31, 2020 are summarized below.

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Assets increased $391.4 million, or 17.8%, from December 31, 2019 to $2.6 billion at December 31, 2020. 

Loans  increased  by  $265.6  million,  or  15.5%,  from  December  31,  2019  to  $2.0  billion  at  December  31,  2020. 
Excluding PPP loans, loans increased by $44.4 million, or 2.6%.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the CECL framework, which resulted in a $6.1 million, or 33.9%, increase 
in  the  ACL  upon  adoption.  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020,  a  revision  to  our  estimate  of  the  ACL  on  unfunded 
lending  commitments  reduced  the  CECL  adoption  impact  by  $940,000  from  what  was  originally  reported  in  our 
previously filed Forms 10-Q.

The provision for loan losses totaled $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, up $9.7 million compared to 
2019.  

The ALL totaled $33.0 million, or 1.66% of total loans, at December 31, 2020.  The ACL, which is comprised of the 
allowance  for  loan  losses  plus  the  allowance  for  unfunded  lending  commitments,  totaled  $34.4  million,  or  1.74%  of 
total loans at December 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans, the ratios of ALL to total loans and ACL to total loans were 
1.87% and 1.96%, respectively.

Total  deposits  increased  $392.8  million,  or  21.6%,  from  December  31,  2019  to  $2.2  billion  at  December  31,  2020 
primarily due to increases in demand deposit and NOW accounts. 

The Company repurchased 530,504 shares of common stock at an average price of $26.41 per share.

The net interest margin was 3.96% for the year ended December 31, 2020, down 30 bps compared to 2019,  primarily 
due to the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets during 2020. 

The average yield paid on total interest-bearing deposits during 2020 was 0.72%, down 38 bps compared to 2019.

Noninterest income decreased $110,000, or 0.8%, in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to a decrease in service fees 
and charges and the absence of $1.2 million death benefit from a BOLI policy recognized in 2019, partially offset by an 
increase in gains on the sale of loans.

Noninterest  expense  decreased  $624,000,  or  1.0%,  in  2020  compared  to  2019.  Decreases  across  several  noninterest 
expense  categories  (including,  but  not  limited  to,  compensation,  occupancy  and  marketing)  were  partially  offset  by 
increases in data processing and communication expense and regulatory fees.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

Banking operations remain unencumbered by state and local government COVID-19 restrictions. However, we have adapted 
to  protect  our  employees  and  customers  by  working  remotely,  enhancing  cleaning  procedures,  and  enacting  several  other 
measures to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus. State government imposed COVID-19 restrictions continue to be in 
place within our Louisiana and Mississippi markets. The restrictions primarily place limits on capacity and hours of operation 
of certain businesses.

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company funded approximately 3,072 loans totaling $262.2 million under 
the  Small  Business  Administration's  ("SBA")  Paycheck  Protection  Program  ("PPP").  At  December  31,  2020,  the  total 
recorded net investment in PPP loans was $221.2 million, of which approximately 2,495 loans with an aggregate outstanding 
balance of $70.5 million were for amounts of $150,000 or less.  The Company is prepared to assist customers in the second 
round of PPP loans in 2021.

To give immediate financial support to our customers, the Company began providing principal and/or interest payment relief 
options  in  March  2020.    When  we  last  reported  the  level  of  such  deferrals  in  our  third  quarter  Form  10-Q  (as  of 
September  30,  2020),  $70.2  million,  or  4%  of  total  loans,  were  under  deferral  agreements.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the 
level of deferrals decreased to $36.0 million, or 2% of total loans. The level of COVID-19 related deferrals formerly totaled 
$558.8 million, or 28% of total loans, at June 30, 2020. Of the loans that have exited deferral agreements, $469.2 million, or 
98%, were current and performing as of December 31, 2020. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the 
United States (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require 
certain  estimates,  judgments  and  assumptions,  which  are  believed  to  be  reasonable,  based  upon  the  information  available. 
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements 
and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise 
those  that  management  believes  are  the  most  critical  to  aid  in  fully  understanding  and  evaluating  our  reported  financial 
results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to 
variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Allowance for Credit Losses 

Adoption of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

Due to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, management maintains, based on current and forecasted information, an 
allowance for credit losses ("ACL") that reflects a current estimate of expected credit losses ("CECL") for the estimated life 
of  the  loan  portfolio  at  reporting  periods  subsequent  to  the  adoption  date.  For  reporting  periods  prior  to  January  1,  2020, 
management  maintained  an  allowance  for  loan  losses  ("ALL")  at  a  level  which  reflected  losses  that  were  probable  and 
reasonably estimable at the relevant reporting date. Under current and prior accounting guidance, loans are charged against 
the allowance when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added 
to the allowance. 

The ACL and ALL policies described below are supplemented by periodic reviews and validations performed by independent 
loan reviewers. The results of the reviews are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The establishment 
of the ACL and ALL is and was significantly affected by management judgment. There is likelihood that different amounts 
would  be  reported  under  different  conditions  or  assumptions.  Federal  regulatory  agencies,  as  an  integral  part  of  their 
examination  process,  periodically  review  our  ACL  and  ALL.  Such  agencies  may  require  management  to  make  additional 
provisions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

We continue to monitor and modify our ACL as conditions warrant. No assurance can be given that our level of ACL will 
cover  all  of  the  losses  on  our  loans  or  that  future  adjustments  to  the  ACL  will  not  be  necessary  if  economic  and  other 
conditions differ substantially from the conditions used by management to determine the current level of the ACL.

22

For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:

The  ACL  which  equals  the  sum  of  the  ALL  and  the  ACL  on  unfunded  lending  commitments,  is  established  through 
provisions for credit losses. Management recalculates the ACL at least quarterly to reassess the estimate of credit losses for 
the  total  portfolio  at  the  relevant  reporting  date.  Under  ASC  326,  the  ACL  is  measured  on  a  pool  basis  when  similar  risk 
characteristics exist. For each pool of loans, management also evaluates and applies qualitative adjustments to the calculated 
ACL  based  on  several  factors,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  changes  in  current  and  expected  future  economic  conditions, 
changes in industry experience and industry loan concentrations, changes in the volume and severity of nonperforming assets, 
changes  in  lending  policies  and  personnel  and  changes  in  the  competitive  and  regulatory  environment  of  the  banking 
industry. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan 
analysis. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASC 326 and its 
impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326: 

The ALL was maintained at an amount which management determined covered the reasonably estimable and probable losses. 
The  ALL  was  established  through  a  provision  for  loan  losses  charged  to  expense.  The  ALL  estimation  process  included, 
among  other  things,  an  analysis  of  delinquency  trends,  nonperforming  loan  trends,  the  level  of  charge-offs  and  recoveries, 
prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of 
loans, the value of collateral securing loans, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans 
requiring  heightened  management  oversight,  economic  conditions  and  industry  experience.  Based  on  the  evaluation, 
management  assigned  risk  ratings  to  segments  of  the  loan  portfolio.  Such  risk  ratings  were  periodically  reviewed  by 
management and revised as deemed appropriate.

With respect to acquired loans, prior to January 1, 2020, the Company followed the reserve standard set forth in ASC 310, 
Receivables.  At  acquisition,  the  Company  reviewed  each  loan  to  determine  whether  there  is  evidence  of  deterioration  in 
credit quality since origination and if it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due according 
to  the  loan’s  contractual  terms.  The  Company  considered  expected  prepayments  and  estimated  the  amount  and  timing  of 
undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for each loan pool meeting the criteria above, and determined 
the  excess  of  the  loan  pool’s  scheduled  contractual  principal  and  interest  payments  in  excess  of  cash  flows  expected  at 
acquisition  as  an  amount  that  should  not  be  accreted  (nonaccretable  difference).  The  remaining  amount,  representing  the 
excess  of  the  pool’s  cash  flows  expected  to  be  collected  over  the  fair  value,  was  accreted  into  interest  income  over  the 
remaining life of the pool (accretable yield). The Company recorded a discount on these loans at acquisition to record them at 
their estimated fair values. As a result, acquired loans subject to ASC 310 were excluded from the calculation of the ALL at 
the acquisition date. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool was less than its carrying value, an impairment was 
recognized by an increase in the ALL and a charge to the provision for loan losses. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements for additional information concerning our allowance for acquired loans prior to the adoption of ASC 326.

Loans 

The  following  describes  the  distinction  between  originated  and  acquired  loans  and  certain  significant  accounting  policies 
relevant to each category.

Originated Loans

Loans originated for investment are reported at the principal balance outstanding net of unearned income. Interest on loans 
and accretion of unearned income are computed in a manner that approximates a level yield on recorded principal. Interest on 
loans is recorded as income is earned. The accrual of interest on an originated loan is discontinued when it is probable the 
borrower will not be able to meet payment obligations as they become due. For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020, the 
Company maintained an ALL on originated loans that represented management’s estimate of probable losses incurred in this 
portfolio category. For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020, the Company maintains an ACL on all loans 
that reflects management's estimate of expected credit losses for the full life of the loan portfolio due to the adoption of the 
guidance under ASC 326. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of 
ASC 326.

23

Acquired Loans

Loans that were acquired as a result of business combinations are referred to as “acquired loans.” The Company's acquired 
loans were purchased prior to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 and were recorded at estimated fair value at the 
acquisition date with no carryover of the related ALL. The acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be 
performing and those with evidence of credit deterioration (purchased credit impaired or "PCI"), and then further segregated 
into loan pools designed to facilitate the estimation of expected cash flows. The fair value estimate for each pool of acquired 
performing  and  PCI  loans  was  based  on  the  estimate  of  expected  cash  flows,  both  principal  and  interest,  from  that  pool, 
discounted  at  prevailing  market  interest  rates.  The  difference  between  the  fair  value  of  an  acquired  loan  pool  and  the 
contractual amounts due at the acquisition date (the “fair value discount”) is accreted into income over the estimated life of 
the pool. 

For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:
Management estimates the ACL for acquired loans under the same methodology as originated loans. Changes in the ACL for 
acquired loans are recognized through the provision for loan losses and the provision for credit losses on unfunded lending 
commitments. 

ASC  326  replaced  the  guidance  for  PCI  loans  with  the  concept  of  purchased  credit  deteriorated  ("PCD").    For  reporting 
periods  beginning  on  and  after  January  1,  2020,  PCI  loans  have  been  re-classified  as  PCD  loans.  For  PCD  loans,  the 
Company applied the guidance under ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach. As a result, the Company adjusted 
the amortized cost basis of the PCD loans to reclassify $1.0 million of purchase discount to the ALL on January 1, 2020. The 
Company  applied  the  guidance  under  ASC  326  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  for  all  non-PCD  assets,  which 
resulted in an increase in the ALL and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASC 326.

PCD loans, under prior accounting policies, were excluded from nonperforming loans because they continued to earn interest 
income  from  the  accretable  yield  at  the  pool  level.  With  the  adoption  of  ASC  326,  the  pools  were  discontinued  and 
performance is based on contractual terms for individual loans.

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326: 
Management estimated the ALL for acquired performing loans using a methodology similar to that used for originated loans. 
The  allowance  determined  for  each  loan  pool  was  compared  to  the  remaining  fair  value  discount  for  that  pool.  If  the 
allowance  amount  calculated  under  the  Company’s  methodology  was  greater  than  the  Company’s  remaining  discount,  the 
additional amount called for was added to the reported allowance through a provision for loan losses. If the allowance amount 
calculated  under  the  Company’s  methodology  was  less  than  the  Company’s  recorded  discount,  no  additional  allowance  or 
provision  was  recognized.  Actual  losses  first  reduced  any  remaining  nonaccretable  discount  for  the  loan  pool.  Once  the 
nonaccretable  discount  was  fully  depleted,  losses  were  applied  against  the  allowance  established  for  that  pool.  Acquired 
performing loans were placed on nonaccrual status and were considered and reported as nonperforming or past due using the 
same criteria applied to the originated portfolio.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected from a PCI loan pool over the pool’s estimated fair value at acquisition was 
referred to as the accretable yield and was recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining 
life  of  the  pool.  Each  pool  of  PCI  loans  was  accounted  for  as  a  single  asset  with  a  single  composite  interest  rate  and  an 
aggregate expectation of cash flows.

Management  estimated  cash  flows  expected  to  be  collected  on  each  PCI  loan  pool  periodically.  If  the  present  value  of 
expected cash flows for a pool was less than its carrying value, an impairment was recognized by an increase in the ALL and 
a charge to the provision for loan losses. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool was greater than its carrying 
value, any previously established ALL was reversed and any remaining difference increased the accretable yield, which was 
taken  into  interest  income  over  the  remaining  life  of  the  loan  pool.  PCI  loans  were  generally  not  subject  to  individual 
evaluation for impairment and were not reported with impaired loans, even if they otherwise qualified for such treatment.

24

Foreclosed Assets and ORE

Foreclosed assets and ORE includes real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real 
property  no  longer  used  in  the  Bank's  business.  Foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  are  classified  as  such  until  sold  or  disposed. 
Foreclosed  assets  are  recorded  at  fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs  based  on  third  party  property  valuations  which  are 
obtained at the time the asset is repossessed and periodically until the property is liquidated. ORE is recorded at the lower of 
its  net  book  value  or  fair  value  at  the  date  of  transfer  to  ORE.  Foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  holding  costs  are  charged  to 
expense. Gains and losses on the sale of foreclosed assets and ORE are charged to operations, as incurred. Costs associated 
with acquiring and improving a foreclosed property or ORE are usually capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does 
not exceed fair value less estimated selling costs.

Business Combinations

Assets  and  liabilities  acquired  in  business  combinations  are  recorded  at  their  fair  value.  In  accordance  with  ASC  805, 
Business  Combinations,  the  Company  generally  records  provisional  amounts  at  the  time  of  acquisition  based  on  the 
information available to the Company. The provisional estimates of fair values may be adjusted for a period of up to one year 
(“measurement  period”)  from  the  date  of  acquisition  if  new  information  is  obtained.  Subsequently,  adjustments  recorded 
during the measurement period are recognized in the current reporting period.

Income Taxes

We  make  estimates  and  judgments  to  calculate  some  of  our  tax  liabilities  and  determine  the  recoverability  of  some  of  our 
deferred tax assets (“DTA”), which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of 
revenues and expenses and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. We also 
estimate a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some 
portion  or  all  of  the  recorded  deferred  tax  assets  will  not  be  realized  in  future  periods.  These  estimates  and  judgments  are 
inherently  subjective.  Historically,  our  estimates  and  judgments  to  calculate  our  deferred  tax  accounts  have  not  required 
significant revision to our initial estimates.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our 
past  operating  results,  recent  cumulative  losses  and  our  forecast  of  future  taxable  income.  In  determining  future  taxable 
income,  we  make  assumptions  for  the  amount  of  taxable  income,  the  reversal  of  temporary  differences  and  the 
implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require us to make judgments about our 
future  taxable  income  and  are  consistent  with  the  plans  and  estimates  we  use  to  manage  our  business.  Any  reduction  in 
estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in 
the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on 
our future earnings.

Investment Securities 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduced a new model 
known as CECL. ASC 326 requires expected credit related losses for available for sale debt securities to be recorded through 
an allowance for credit losses, while non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through other comprehensive 
income. The Company’s held to maturity debt securities are also required to utilize the CECL approach to estimate expected 
credit losses. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASC 326.

For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:
We  evaluate  our  securities  portfolio  for  impairment  at  least  quarterly,  and  more  frequently  when  economic  and  market 
conditions warrant such evaluations. The Company performs a process to determine whether the decline in the fair value of 
securities has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This process involves evaluating each security for impairment by 
monitoring credit performance, collateral type, collateral geography, bond credit support, loan-to-value ratios, credit scores, 
loss  severity  levels,  pricing  levels,  downgrades  by  rating  agencies,  cash  flow  projections  and  other  factors  as  indicators  of 
potential credit issues. If this evaluation indicates the existence of credit losses, the Company compares the present value of 
cash  flows  expected  to  be  collected  from  the  security  with  the  amortized  cost  basis.  If  the  present  value  of  expected  cash 
flows is less than the amortized cost basis, an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value 
of the security is less than its amortized cost.

25

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:
Securities were evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their fair value was other-than-temporary. The term 
“other-than-temporary” was not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it meant that the prospects for near 
term recovery of value were not necessarily favorable, or that there was a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or 
greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Management reviewed criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the 
decline,  the  reasons  for  the  decline  and  the  performance  and  valuation  of  the  underlying  collateral,  when  applicable,  to 
predict whether the loss in value was other-than-temporary and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment 
for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Once a decline in value was determined to 
be  other-than-temporary,  the  carrying  value  of  the  security  was  reduced  to  its  fair  value  and  a  corresponding  charge  to 
earnings was recognized for the decline in value determined to be credit related. The decline in value attributable to noncredit 
factors was recognized in other comprehensive income.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 
requires  companies  to  expense  the  fair  value  of  employee  stock  options  and  other  forms  of  stock-based  compensation. 
Management  utilizes  the  Black-Scholes  option  valuation  model  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  stock  options.  The  option 
valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility and option life. 
These subjective input assumptions materially affect the fair value estimate.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans, Allowance for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

Loans 

The types of loans originated by the Company are subject to federal and state laws and regulations. Interest rates charged on 
loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans and the supply of money available for lending purposes and the 
rates offered by our competitors. These factors are, in turn, affected by general and economic conditions, the monetary policy 
of the federal government, including the FRB, legislative tax policies and governmental budgetary matters.

The Company’s lending activities are subject to underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our 
Board  of  Directors  and  management.  Loan  originations  are  obtained  through  a  variety  of  sources,  primarily  existing 
customers  as  well  as  new  customers  obtained  from  referrals  and  local  advertising  and  promotional  efforts.  Single-family 
residential  mortgage  loan  applications  and  consumer  loan  applications  are  taken  at  any  of  the  Bank’s  branch  offices. 
Applications for other loans typically are taken personally by one of our loan officers, although they may be received by a 
branch office initially and then referred to a loan officer. All loan applications are processed and underwritten centrally at the 
Bank’s main office.

Total  loans  in  portfolio  (which  does  not  include  mortgage  loans  held  for  sale)  increased  $265.6  million,  or  15.5%,  from 
December 31, 2019 to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the total recorded net investment in PPP 
loans was $221.2 million, which are included in commercial and industrial loans. The recorded investment in PPP loans is net 
of $5.4 million in deferred lender fees, which will be amortized into interest income over the life of the loans. Excluding PPP 
loans, total loans increased by $44.4 million, or 2.6%.

Effective  January  1,  2020,  the  Company  adopted  the  guidance  under  ASC  326,  which  introduced  a  new  model  known  as 
CECL. For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326, the ACL is maintained at 
level that reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial assets. Prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 
326,  the  ALL  was  maintained  at  an  amount  which  management  determined  covered  reasonably  estimable  and  probable 
losses.  The  day  one  impact  of  the  change  in  accounting  principle  is  reflected  in  the  table  below  as  an  increase  to  the 
beginning balance in 2020. Management recalculates the ACL at least quarterly to reassess the estimate of credit losses for 
the  total  portfolio  at  the  relevant  reporting  date.  For  more  information  on  the  adoption  of  ASC  326  and  the  Company's 
relevant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

adoption  impact  from  what  was  originally  reported  in  our  previously  filed  Forms  10-Q.  Refer  to  Note  2  of  the  Consolidated 
Financial Statements for more information.   

At December 31, 2020, the ALL totaled $33.0 million, or 1.66% of total loans, and the ACL, which includes the reserve for 
unfunded lending commitments, totaled $34.4 million, or 1.74% of total loans. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the 
provision for loan losses was $12.7 million, up $9.7 million from 2019. The provision for loan losses during 2020 reflected 
our assessment of the change in expected losses due primarily to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additional Information on Loan Portfolio Composition and the Allowance for Credit Losses

As  the  fallout  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  continues  to  impact  the  national,  regional  and  local  economies,  management 
continues  to  proactively  monitor  the  loan  portfolio  to  identify  potential  weaknesses  that  may  develop.    Specifically, 
management has identified and is monitoring exposures to borrowers and industries that may be impacted more immediately 
and acutely than others.  In many instances, management has directly reached out to specific borrowers to provide guidance 
and assistance as appropriate. On a portfolio level, management continues to monitor aggregate exposures to highly sensitive 
segments  for  changes  in  asset  quality,  payment  performance  and  liquidity  levels.  Additionally,  management  is  monitoring 
unfunded commitments, such as lines of credit and overdraft protection, to monitor liquidity and funding issues that may arise 
with our customers.

The following table provides a summary of the loan portfolio and related reserves at December 31, 2020. We have separately 
identified certain information regarding PPP loans which, due to the existence of full repayment guarantees from the SBA as 
well  as  the  likelihood  that  the  vast  majority  of  such  loans  will  be  forgiven,  we  believe  entail  minimal  credit  risk  to  the 
Company.

(1) At December 31, 2020, the allowance of $1.4 million related to unfunded  lending commitments  of $336.9 million. The  ACL on 
unfunded lending commitments is recorded within accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of 
Financial Condition.  

Asset Quality

One of management’s key objectives has been, and continues to be, maintaining a high level of asset quality. In addition to 
maintaining credit standards for new loan originations, we proactively monitor loans and collection and workout processes of 
delinquent  or  problem  loans.  When  a  borrower  fails  to  make  a  scheduled  payment,  we  attempt  to  cure  the  deficiency  by 
making personal contact with the borrower. Initial contacts are generally made within 10 days after the date payment is due. 
In  most  cases,  deficiencies  are  promptly  resolved.  If  the  delinquency  continues,  late  charges  are  assessed  and  additional 
efforts  are  made  to  collect  the  deficiency.  All  loans  which  are  designated  as  “special  mention,”  classified  or  which  are 
delinquent 90 days or more are reported to the Board of Directors of the Bank monthly. For loans where the collection of 
principal  or  interest  payments  is  doubtful,  the  accrual  of  interest  income  ceases.  It  is  our  policy,  with  certain  limited 
exceptions, to discontinue accruing interest and reverse any interest accrued on any loan which is 90 days or more past due. 
On occasion, this action may be taken earlier if the financial condition of the borrower raises significant concern with regard 
to their ability to service the debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Interest income is not accrued on these 
loans until the borrower’s financial condition and payment record demonstrate an ability to service the debt.

An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the 
amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively 
evaluated for impairment. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include smaller balance commercial loans, residential 
real  estate  loans  and  consumer  loans.  These  loans  are  evaluated  as  a  group  because  they  have  similar  characteristics  and 
performance experience. Larger (i.e., loans with balances of $250,000 or greater) commercial real estate loans, multi-family 
residential loans, construction and land loans and commercial and industrial loans are individually evaluated for impairment. 

29

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is 
made  that  a  loan  has  deteriorated  to  the  point  of  becoming  a  problem  loan,  updated  valuations  may  be  ordered  to  help 
determine  if  there  is  impairment,  which  may  lead  to  a  recommendation  for  partial  charge  off  or  appropriate  allowance 
allocation.  Property  valuations  are  ordered  through,  and  are  reviewed  by,  an  appraisal  officer  at  the  Bank.  The  Company 
typically  orders  an  “as  is”  valuation  for  collateral  property  if  a  loan  is  in  a  criticized  loan  classification.  The  Board  of 
Directors is provided with monthly reports on impaired loans. 

At  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  loans  identified  as  impaired  and  individually  evaluated  for  expected  losses,  were  $9.0 
million and $8.7 million, respectively. Due to the adoption of ASC 326, total loans identified as impaired and individually 
evaluated at December 31, 2020 included $2.4 million of acquired loans, of which $277,000 was acquired with deteriorated 
credit quality. Under the former accounting guidance, acquired loans were evaluated on a pool basis and excluded from total 
loans individually evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2019.  Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality totaled 
$6.3 million and $7.4 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For more information on the adoption of ASC 
326, refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Federal  regulations  and  our  policies  require  that  we  utilize  an  internal  asset  classification  system  as  a  means  of  reporting 
problem and potential problem assets. We have incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent 
with  Federal  banking  regulations,  as  a  part  of  our  credit  monitoring  system.  Federal  banking  regulations  set  forth  a 
classification  scheme  for  problem  and  potential  problem  assets  as  “substandard,”  “doubtful”  or  “loss”  assets.  An  asset  is 
considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the 
collateral  pledged,  if  any.  “Substandard”  assets  include  those  characterized  by  the  “distinct  possibility”  that  the  insured 
institution  will  sustain  “some  loss”  if  the  deficiencies  are  not  corrected.  Assets  classified  as  “doubtful”  have  all  of  the 
weaknesses  inherent  in  those  classified  “substandard”  with  the  added  characteristic  that  the  weaknesses  present  make 
“collection  or  liquidation  in  full,”  on  the  basis  of  currently  existing  facts,  conditions  and  values,  “highly  questionable  and 

30

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as 
assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. In addition to classified assets, assets which do not 
currently expose the Bank to sufficient risk to be classified may be categorized as "special mention." Special mention assets 
have an existing weakness that could cause future impairment.

At  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  we  had  a  total  of  $35.3  million  and  $39.8  million,  respectively,  in  loans  classified  as 
substandard.  We  had  no  assets  classified  as  doubtful  or  loss  at  either  date.  For  additional  information,  see  Note  5  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

A bank’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by 
Federal  bank  regulators  which  can  order  the  establishment  of  additional  general  or  specific  loss  allowances.  The  Federal 
banking  agencies  have  adopted  an  interagency  policy  statement  on  the  allowance  for  loan  and  lease  losses.  The  policy 
statement  provides  guidance  for  financial  institutions  on  both  the  responsibilities  of  management  for  the  assessment  and 
establishment  of  allowances  and  guidance  for  banking  agency  examiners  to  use  in  determining  the  adequacy  of  general 
valuation  guidelines.  Generally,  the  policy  statement  recommends  that  institutions  have  effective  systems  and  controls  to 
identify,  monitor  and  address  asset  quality  problems;  that  management  analyze  all  significant  factors  that  affect  the 
collectability  of  the  portfolio  in  a  reasonable  manner;  and  that  management  establish  acceptable  allowance  evaluation 
processes  that  meet  the  objectives  set  forth  in  the  policy  statement.  Due  to  the  adoption  of  ASC  326  on  January  1,  2020, 
management  maintains,  based  on  current  and  forecasted  information,  an  ACL  that  reflects  a  current  estimate  of  expected 
credit  losses  for  the  estimated  life  of  the  loan  portfolio  at  reporting  periods  subsequent  to  the  adoption  date.  For  reporting 
periods prior to January 1, 2020, management maintained an ALL at a level which reflected losses that were probable and 
reasonably estimable at the relevant reporting date. For all reporting periods, actual losses are uncertain and dependent upon 
future events and, as such, further additions to the level of ACL may become necessary.

Due  to  the  adoption  of  ASC  326,  PCD  loans  of  $390,000  are  included  in  nonperforming  loans  at  December  31,  2020.  Prior  to 
January  1,  2020,  PCD  loans  were  classified  as  PCI  under  ASC  310-30  and  excluded  from  nonperforming  loans  because  they 
continued to earn interest income from the accretable yield at the pool level regardless of their status as past due or otherwise not in 
compliance with their contractual terms. At adoption, the pools were discontinued and performance is based on contractual terms 
for individual loans. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASC 326. 
PCI loans that were 90 days or more past due and were accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $2.2 million, $1.7 million, $4.3 
million and $2.7 million at December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

As  a  result  of  Section  4013  of  the  CARES  Act  and  recent  interagency  guidance  issued  by  Federal  banking  regulators, 
modifications, such as deferrals of principal and/or interest payments, to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are 
not deemed to be TDRs if such modifications are made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019. Such deferrals 
and loan modifications totaled $36.0 million, or 2% of total loans, at December 31, 2020 compared to $558.8 million (28% of 
total loans) at June 30, 2020.  We will continue to follow the guidance of Federal banking regulators in making any TDR 
determinations.

Total nonperforming assets decreased by $8.6 million, or 30.0%, to  $20.0 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $28.5 
million at December 31, 2019. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.77% at  December 31, 2020, compared 
to 1.30% at December 31, 2019. 

Nonperforming loans were down $5.7 million, or 23.4%, from December 31, 2019 primarily due to pay-downs on nonaccrual 
loans. Foreclosed assets and ORE were also down $2.9 million, or 68.7%, from December 31, 2019.

Funding Sources

General

Deposits, loan repayments and prepayments, proceeds from investment securities sales, calls, maturities and paydowns, cash 
flows generated from operations and FHLB advances are our primary, ongoing sources of funds for use in lending, investing 
and for other general purposes.

Deposits

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Our deposits consist of checking, 
both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing, money market, savings and certificate of deposit accounts.

The  flow  of  deposits  is  influenced  significantly  by  general  economic  conditions,  changes  in  market  interest  rates  and 
competition.  Our  deposits  are  obtained  predominantly  from  the  areas  where  our  branch  offices  are  located.  We  have 
historically relied primarily on a high level of customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and 
retain deposits; however, market interest rates and rates offered by competitors significantly affect our ability to attract and 
retain deposits. 

Total deposits were $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2020, up $392.8 million, or 21.6%, compared to December 31, 2019. 
Certificates  of  deposits  totaled  $368.8  million  as  of  December  31,  2020,  down  $26.7  million,  or  6.7%,  compared  to 
December 31, 2019. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s deposits as of the dates indicated.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Advances from the FHLB may be obtained by the Company upon the security of the common stock it owns in the FHLB and 
certain of its real estate loans and investment securities, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. 
Such advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. 
Advances from the FHLB may be either short-term, maturities of one year or less, or long-term, maturities in excess of one 
year.

The  Company  had  no  short-term  FHLB  advances  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019.  Long-term  FHLB  advances  totaled 
$28.8 million as of December 31, 2020, down $11.8 million, or 29.0%, compared to $40.6 million as of December 31, 2019. 

Average FHLB advances were $45.1 million during 2020, down $7.4 million, or 14.1%, from 2019.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’  equity  provides  a  source  of  permanent  funding,  allows  for  future  growth  and  provides  the  Company  with  a 
cushion to withstand unforeseen adverse developments. At December 31, 2020, shareholders’ equity totaled $321.8 million, 
up  $5.5  million,  or  1.7%,  compared  to  $316.3  million  at  December  31,  2019.  The  increase  was  primarily  due  to  the 
Company’s  earnings  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  which  was  partially  offset  by  the  effect  of  the  Company's 
common stock repurchases, dividends paid and the CECL adoption impact during 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income in 2020 was $24.8 million, down $3.2 million, or 11.3%, compared to 2019. Diluted EPS for 2020 was $2.85, 
down $0.20, or 6.6% from 2019. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the provision for loan losses  in 2020 (most 
of  which  was  recorded  in  the  first  and  second  quarters  of  the  year).  The  provision  for  loan  losses  for  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2020  totaled  $12.7  million,  up  $9.7  million  from  2019,  reflecting  our  assessment  of  expected  losses  due 
primarily  to  the  economic  impact  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  increase  in  our  provision  for  loan  losses  was  partially 
offset  by  an  increase  in  net  interest  income,  which  was  primarily  driven  by  low  interest  rates  on  deposits  and  PPP  loan 
income.

Net income in 2019 was $27.9 million, down $3.7 million, or 11.6%, compared to 2018. Diluted EPS for 2019 was $3.05, 
down  $0.35,  or  10.3%  from  2018.  Our  2019  results  reflected  record  organic  loan  growth;  however,  our  earnings  were 
impacted by the compression of the net interest margin during 2019.

Net Interest Income

Net  interest  income  is  the  difference  between  the  interest  income  earned  on  interest-earning  assets,  such  as  loans  and 
investment securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Our net 
interest income is largely determined by our net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on 
interest-earning  assets  and  the  average  rate  paid  on  interest  bearing  liabilities,  and  the  relative  amounts  of  interest-earning 
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s net interest spread was 3.72%, 3.94% and 4.42% for the years ended 
December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Net interest income totaled $92.2 million in 2020, up $6.2 million, or 7.2%, compared to $86.0 million in 2019. The increase 
was primarily due to lower deposit costs and an increase in loan income primarily due to PPP loans. Total interest expense on 
deposits  decreased  $4.0  million,  or  26.7%,  in  2020  compared  to  2019.  The  average  cost  of  total  interest-bearing  deposits 
decreased by 38 basis points to 0.72% in 2020.  

The  Company  recognized  $4.1  million  of  PPP  lender  fees  in  loan  interest  income  in  2020.  The  remaining  balance  of  $5.4 
million  in  deferred  lender  fees  will  be  amortized  into  interest  income  over  the  life  of  the  PPP  loans.    Though  net  interest 
income increased, outstanding PPP loans negatively impacted the average loan yield by 17 basis points and the net interest 
margin by 4 basis points during 2020. 

In addition, the increase in average cash and cash equivalents from 2019 to 2020 negatively impacted the average yield on 
total  interest-earning  assets  and  the  net  interest  margin  by  17  and  15  basis  points,  respectively.    Average  cash  and  cash 
equivalents are reflected in the increase in the average balance of other interest-earning assets. Average other interest-earning 
assets during 2020 were up $87.1 million from the average of $55.0 million during 2019.

In  2019,  net  interest  income  totaled  $86.0  million,  down  $6.0  million,  or  6.5%,  compared  to  $92.0  million  in  2018.  The 
decrease  in  net  interest  income  for  2019  compared  to  2018  was  primarily  due  to  higher  deposit  costs  during  2019.  Total 
interest expense on deposits increased $6.0 million, or 65.8%, in 2019 compared to 2018. The average cost of total interest-
bearing deposits in 2019 totaled 1.10%, up 43 basis points from 2018.

The  Company’s  net  interest  margin,  which  is  net  interest  income  as  a  percentage  of  average  interest-earning  assets,  was 
3.96%, 4.26%, and 4.62% during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

would have been earned on nonaccrual loans had they been on accrual status is not included in the data reported above.

Provision for Loan Losses

Effective  January  1,  2020,  the  Company  adopted  the  guidance  under  ASC  326,  which  introduced  a  new  model  known  as 
CECL.  For  reporting  periods  beginning  on  and  after  January  1,  2020  and  the  adoption  of  ASC  326,  our  activity  in  the 
provision for loan losses, which are charges or recoveries to operating results, is undertaken to maintain a level of allowance 
that reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial assets. Prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326, the 
activity in the provision for loan losses was recorded to maintain the allowance at an amount which management determined 
covered reasonably estimable and probable losses.  For more information on the adoption of ASC 326, refer to Note 2 of the 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $12.7 million, compared to $3.0 
million and $3.9 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. The provision for loan losses during 2020 reflected our assessment 
of the change in expected losses due primarily to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The provisions for 2019 
and 2018 were primarily due to organic loan growth and downgrades in organic commercial real estate and commercial and 
industrial loan relationships. 

Net charge-offs were $2.3 million for 2020, compared to net charge-offs of  $1.5 million and $2.4 million for 2019 and 2018, 
respectively. Charge-offs during 2020 were primarily related to $1.0 million on  two acquired commercial relationships and 
$806,000 on an originated commercial relationship classified as substandard prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net charge-
offs  for  2019  and  2018  were  primarily  due  to  the  deterioration  of  previously  recognized  non-performing  commercial  real 
estate and commercial and industrial loan relationships.

Item  7.  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  -  Financial  Condition  - 
Allowance for Credit Losses" provides more information on the changes in the ALL and ACL.

Noninterest income for 2020 totaled $14.3 million, down $110,000, or 0.8%, compared to 2019. 

Service fees and charges for 2020 were down $1.3 million, or 21.8%, from 2019 primarily due to a decline in income from 
overdraft fees on deposit accounts. 

Income  from  BOLI  for  2020  was  down  $1.1  million,  or  52.0%,  from  2019  primarily  due  to  the  absence  of  a  $1.2  million 
death benefit from BOLI on a former employee.

Gains  on  the  sale  of  loans  for  2020  were  up  $1.9  million,  or  172.3%,  from  2019.  Due  to  the  changes  in  the  interest  rate 
environment during 2020, borrowers found it advantageous to refinance residential mortgages.

2019 compared to 2018

Noninterest income for 2019 totaled $14.4 million, up $1.0 million, or 7.2%, compared to 2018. The increase was primarily 
due to the increase in income from BOLI.  The Company received a non-taxable life insurance benefit of $1.2 million from 
BOLI following the death of a former employee during the third quarter of 2019.

2020 compared to 2019

Noninterest expense for 2020 totaled $63.0 million, down $624,000, or 1.0%, from 2019. 

Compensation and benefits expense for 2020 was down $480,000, or 1.2% compared to 2019 primarily due to decreases in 
health insurance costs and compensation expense related to the Company's ESOP driven primarily by the decline in market 
value of shares of the Company's common stock held by the ESOP. In addition, compensation and benefits expense for 2019 
included $287,000 in costs related to the departure of a former executive.

Occupancy expense for 2020 was down $324,000, or 4.6%, compared to 2019. During 2019, the Company incurred $291,000 
(pre-tax) of costs to terminate an office lease.

Marketing  and  advertising  expense  for  2020  was  down  $444,000,  or  28.2%,  compared  to  2019  primarily  due  to  a  general 
decline across all marketing related activities during 2020.

Data  processing  and  communication  expense  for  2020  was  up  $732,000,  or  11.1%,  compared  to  2019  primarily  due  to 
increased costs of software contracts.

Regulatory fees for 2020 were up $547,000, or 65.9%, compared to 2019 primarily due to an increase in FDIC assessments. 
The change in the Company's financial condition during 2020 led to a less favorable leverage ratio, which is used to compute 
FDIC assessments. In addition, the Company benefited from FDIC assessment credits during the third quarter of 2019. The 
credits were exhausted during the first quarter of 2020.

2019 compared to 2018

Noninterest expense for 2019 totaled $63.6 million, an increase of $380,000, or 0.6%, from 2018. The increase in noninterest 
expense in 2019 was primarily due to compensation and benefits expense, which increased by $1.6 million, or 4.4%, in 2019 
compared to 2018. Compensation and benefits expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee health 
care costs. Compensation and benefits expense for 2019 also included $287,000 in costs related to the departure of a former 
executive. Noninterest expense for 2018 included $2.0 million in merger related expenses.

Income Taxes

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019  and  2018,  the  Company  incurred  income  tax  expense  of  $6.0  million,  $5.9 
million and $6.7 million, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.6%, 17.3% and 17.5% for 2020, 2019 and 
2018, respectively. 

The Company's effective tax rate increased in 2020 compared to 2019 and 2018 due to the absence of certain non-recurring 
transactions. During 2019, the Company received a non-taxable BOLI benefit of $1.2 million following the death of a former 
employee. During 2018, an updated analysis of the Company’s depreciation of certain assets as a result of a cost segregation 
study reduced 2018 income tax expense by $819,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our  primary  sources  of  funds  are  from  deposits,  amortization  of  loans,  loan  prepayments  and  the  maturity  of  loans, 
investment securities and other investments and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the 
amortization of loans and investment securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, 
deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. 
We also maintain excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity.

We  use  our  liquidity  to  fund  existing  and  future  loan  commitments,  to  fund  maturing  certificates  of  deposit  and  demand 
deposit  withdrawals,  to  invest  in  other  interest-earning  assets  and  to  meet  operating  expenses.  At  December  31,  2020, 
certificates  of  deposit  maturing  within  the  next  12  months  totaled  $297.4  million.  Based  upon  historical  experience,  we 
anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us.

In  addition  to  cash  flows  from  loan  and  securities  payments  and  prepayments  as  well  as  from  sales  of  available  for  sale 
securities,  we  have  significant  borrowing  capacity  available  to  fund  liquidity  needs.  In  recent  years,  we  have  utilized 
borrowings as a cost efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds. Our borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB, 
of  which  we  are  a  member.  Under  terms  of  the  collateral  agreement  with  the  FHLB,  we  may  pledge  residential  mortgage 
loans and mortgage-backed securities as well as our stock in the FHLB as collateral for such advances. For the year ended 
December 31, 2020, the average balance of our outstanding FHLB advances was $45.1 million. At December 31, 2020, we 
had $28.8 million in outstanding long-term FHLB advances and $787.2 million in additional FHLB advances available to us.

The following table summarizes the Company's primary and secondary sources of liquidity as of the date indicated.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested 
in short-term investments such as overnight deposits. On a longer-term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing 
in various lending and investment security products. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing 
commitments and fund loan commitments. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through its deposits, as 
well as borrowings, and anticipates it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its liquidity requirements.

ASSET/ LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

The  objective  of  asset/liability  management  is  to  implement  strategies  for  the  funding  and  deployment  of  the  Company’s 
financial resources that are expected to maximize soundness and profitability over time at acceptable levels of risk. Interest 
rate  sensitivity  is  the  potential  impact  of  changing  rate  environments  on  both  net  interest  income  and  cash  flows.  The 
Company measures its interest rate sensitivity over the near term primarily by running net interest income simulations.

Our  interest  rate  sensitivity  is  also  monitored  by  management  through  the  use  of  models  which  generate  estimates  of  the 
change in its net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Based on the Company’s interest rate risk model, the 
table below sets forth the results of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2020.

+200
+100
-100

% Change in Projected
Net Interest Income

(3.8)

The actual impact of changes in interest rates will depend on many factors. These factors include the Company’s ability to 
achieve expected growth in interest-earning assets and maintain a desired mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities,  the  actual  timing  of  asset  and  liability  repricing,  the  magnitude  of  interest  rate  changes  and  corresponding 
movement in interest rate spreads and the level of success of asset/liability management strategies.

Market  risk  is  the  risk  of  loss  from  adverse  changes  in  market  prices  and  rates.  Our  market  risk  arises  primarily  from  the 
interest rate risk, which is inherent in our lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors 
and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We 
attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.

The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain 
balance  sheet  accounts,  determine  the  level  of  risk  appropriate  given  our  business  strategy,  operating  environment,  capital 
and  liquidity  requirements,  performance  objectives  and  interest  rate  environment  and  manage  the  risk  consistent  with 
approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to 
improve  our  net  interest  spread.  We  monitor  interest  rate  risk  as  such  risk  relates  to  our  operating  strategies.  ALCO  is 
responsible  for  reviewing  our  asset/liability  and  investment  policies  and  interest  rate  risk  position.  ALCO  meets  at  least 
monthly. The extent of the movement of interest rates is an uncertainty that could have a negative impact on future earnings.

We primarily have utilized the following strategies in our efforts to manage interest rate risk:

•

•

•

we  have  increased  our  originations  of  shorter  term  loans,  particularly  commercial  real  estate  and  commercial  and 
industrial loans;

we  generally  sell  our  conforming  long-term  (30-year)  fixed-rate  single-family  residential  mortgage  loans  into  the 
secondary market; and

we  have  invested  in  securities,  consisting  primarily  of  mortgage-backed  securities  and  collateral  mortgage 
obligations, with relatively short average lives, generally three to five years, and we maintain adequate amounts of 
liquid assets.

In addition to the strategies above, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements during the second quarter 
of 2020 as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are 
to  manage  its  exposure  to  interest  rate  movements.  During  2020,  such  derivatives  were  used  to  hedge  the  variable  cost 
associated with existing variable rate liabilities. Refer to Note 13, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements for more information on the effects of the derivative financial instruments on the consolidated financial 
statements.

43

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

To  meet  the  financing  needs  of  its  customers,  the  Company  issues  financial  instruments  which  represent  conditional 
obligations  that  are  not  recognized,  wholly  or  in  part,  in  the  statements  of  financial  condition.  These  financial  instruments 
include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments expose the Company to varying degrees 
of credit and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans. The same credit policies are used in these commitments 
as for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit losses from these financial instruments is represented 
by their contractual amounts.

The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant 
to  outstanding  letters  of  credit,  lines  of  credit  and  the  undisbursed  portion  of  construction  loans  as  of  December  31  of  the 
years indicated.

Commitments  to  extend  credit  are  agreements  to  lend  to  a  customer  as  long  as  there  is  no  violation  of  any  condition 
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require 
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally 
represent future cash requirements.

Unfunded  commitments  under  commercial  lines-of-credit  and  revolving  credit  lines  are  commitments  for  possible  future 
extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not 
be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

The  Company  is  subject  to  certain  claims  and  litigation  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  In  the  opinion  of 
management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material 
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The financial statements, accompanying notes and related financial data of the Company presented herein have been prepared 
in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical 
dollars without considering the changes in purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is 
reflected in the increased cost of operations. Most of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature; therefore, the impact of 
interest  rates  has  a  greater  impact  on  its  performance  than  the  effects  of  general  levels  of  inflation.  Interest  rates  do  not 
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Home Bancorp, Inc.
Lafayette, Louisiana

Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Home Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (the 
“Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, 
changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated 
financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, 
based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial 
position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the 
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our 
opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for the 
recognition  and  measurement  of  allowance  for  credit  losses  as  of  January  1,  2020  due  to  the  adoption  of  ASC  Topic  326, 
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.

Basis for Opinions

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  for  maintaining  effective  internal 
control  over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting, 
included  in  the  accompanying  Report  of  Management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements  and  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  based  on  our 
audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States) 
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws 
and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the  audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in 
all material respects. 

46

Our  audits  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material 
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond 
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our 
audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness 
of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered 
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as 
necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of 
unauthorized  acquisition,  use  or  disposition  of  the  company’s  assets  that  could  have  a  material  effect  on  the  consolidated 
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial 
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or 
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, 
or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated 
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate 
opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Estimate of the allowance for loan losses – reserves related to loans collectively evaluated for impairment

As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) 
totaled $33.0 million of which $31.4 million relates to loans collectively evaluated for impairment (“general reserves”).  The 
Company has identified loan pools with similar risk characteristics.  The Company estimated the general reserves for all loan 
pools using the discounted cash flow method, except for general reserves for the credit card portfolio which were estimated 
using the remaining life method.  

The discounted cash flow method utilizes loan-level term information (including maturity date, payment amount, and interest 
rate) and certain assumptions by management (including default rates, prepayment speeds, and curtailment rates) to estimate 
the expected future cash flows for the full life of each loon pool.  The difference between the expected future cash flows are 
discounted  and  these  amounts  are  then  adjusted  for  certain  qualitative  factors  related  to  current  conditions  in  addition  to 
adjustments for reasonable and supportable forecasts for future periods to arrive at general reserves.

The remaining life method utilized by the Company to estimate general reserves for the credit card portfolio applies historical 
loss rates to the portfolio over the estimated remaining life of the portfolio then adjusts for certain qualitative factors related 
to current conditions in addition to adjustments for reasonable and supportable forecasts for future periods to arrive at general 
reserves for credit cards.

47

We  identified  the  estimate  of  the  reserves  related  to  loans  collectively  evaluated  for  impairment  as  a  critical  audit  matter 
because auditing this portion of ALL required significant auditor judgment and evaluation of significant estimates requiring 
industry knowledge and experience.  The estimate of the reserves related to individually evaluated loans did not require the 
same degree of auditor judgment; therefore, we did not identify this portion of ALL as a critical audit matter.

The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

• We  evaluated  the  design  and  tested  the  operating  effectiveness  of  key  controls  relating  to  the  Company’s  ALL 
calculation, including controls over the segmentation of the loan portfolio, the periods and assumptions used in the 
calculation, the determination of qualitative factors including reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the precision 
of management’s review and approval of the calculation and resulting estimate.

• We tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used by management to calculate general reserves.
• We  tested  the  completeness  and  accuracy  of  the  data  used  by  management  in  determining  qualitative  factor 
adjustments, including the reasonable and supportable factors, by agreeing them to internal and external information.
• We  analyzed  the  qualitative  factors  in  comparison  to  historical  periods  to  evaluate  the  directional  consistency  in 

relation to the Company’s loan portfolio and local economy.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business

Home  Bancorp,  Inc.,  a  Louisiana  corporation  (the  “Company”),  is  the  parent  holding  company  for  Home  Bank,  N.A.  (the 
"Bank").  The  Bank  is  a  national  bank  and  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company.  The  Company  and  Bank  are 
headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was a bank holding company.  In September 
2018, the Bank established HB Investment Fund I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank to invest in New Markets 
Tax Credits (“NMTC”) in our market area. 

In  2010,  the  Bank  expanded  into  the  Northshore  (of  Lake  Pontchartrain)  region  through  a  Federal  Deposit  Insurance 
Corporation  (“FDIC”)  assisted  acquisition  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  former  Statewide  Bank.  In  July  2011,  the 
Bank expanded into the Greater New Orleans region through its acquisition of GS Financial Corporation, the former holding 
company of Guaranty Savings Bank. In February 2014, the Bank expanded into west Mississippi through its acquisition of 
Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation, the holding company for Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A. of Natchez, Mississippi. In 
September  2015,  the  Bank  expanded  its  presence  in  the  Greater  New  Orleans  region  through  the  acquisition  of  Louisiana 
Bancorp,  Inc.,  the  former  holding  company  of  Bank  of  New  Orleans  of  Metairie,  Louisiana.  In  December  2019,  the  Bank 
expanded its presence in the Acadiana market through the acquisition of St. Martin Bancshares (“SMB”), the former holding 
company of St. Martin Bank & Trust Company of St. Martinville, Louisiana. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank conducted 
business  from  40  banking  offices  in  the  Acadiana,  Northshore,  Baton  Rouge  and  Greater  New  Orleans  regions  of  south 
Louisiana and west Mississippi.

The  Bank  is  primarily  engaged  in  attracting  deposits  from  the  general  public  and  using  those  funds  to  invest  in  loans  and 
investment  securities.  The  Bank’s  principal  sources  of  funds  are  customer  deposits,  repayments  of  loans,  repayments  of 
investments and funds borrowed from outside sources such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Dallas. The Bank 
derives  its  income  principally  from  interest  earned  on  loans  and  investment  securities  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,  from  fees 
received in connection with the origination of loans, service charges on deposit accounts and for other services. The Bank’s 
primary expenses are general operating expenses and interest expense on deposits and borrowings.

The Company’s primary banking regulator is the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Systems (the”Federal Reserve”). 
The  Bank’s  primary  regulator  is  the  Office  of  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency  (“OCC”).  Its  deposits  are  insured  to  the 
maximum amount permissible under federal law by the FDIC.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and HB Investment Fund I, LLC. All 
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events

The  Company  has  evaluated  subsequent  events  for  potential  recognition  and  disclosure  through  the  date  of  filing  for  this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States 
(“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  as  of  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported  amounts  of 
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that 
are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  change  in  the  near  term  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  the  determination  of  the 
allowance for credit losses, income taxes, the valuation of foreclosed assets and ORE, goodwill and other intangible assets, 
acquisition accounting valuations and valuation of share-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks and interest-bearing 
deposits with the FHLB. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months 
or less (excluding interest-bearing deposits in banks) to be cash equivalents.

55

The Bank may be required to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. The requirement is dependent upon the 
Bank’s cash on hand or noninterest-bearing balances. There was no reserve requirement as of December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Investment Securities

The  Company  follows  the  guidance  under  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  Accounting  Standards 
Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. This standard addresses the accounting and reporting 
for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Under 
the  topic,  investment  securities,  which  the  Company  both  positively  intends  and  has  the  ability  to  hold  to  maturity,  are 
classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost.

Investment securities that are acquired with the intention of being resold in the near term are classified as trading securities 
under ASC 320 and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The 
Company did not hold any securities for trading purposes at, or during the years ended, December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Securities not meeting the criteria of either trading securities or held to maturity are classified as available for sale and are 
carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses for these securities are recognized, net of related income tax effects, 
in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. 

Interest income earned on securities either held to maturity or available for sale is included in current earnings, including the 
amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the interest method. Amortization of premiums and accretion 
of  discounts  are  recognized  in  interest  income  using  the  effective  interest  method.    Premiums  that  exceed  the  amount 
repayable by the issuer at the next call date are amortized to the next call date.  Other premiums and discounts are amortized 
(accreted) over the estimated lives of the securities. The gain or loss realized on the sale of securities classified as available 
for sale or held to maturity, as determined using the specific identification method for determining the cost of the securities 
sold, is computed with reference to its amortized cost and is also included in current earnings.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduced a new model 
known as CECL. ASC 326 requires expected credit related losses for available for sale debt securities to be recorded through 
an allowance for credit losses, while non-credit related losses or declines in fair value continue to be recognized through other 
comprehensive  income  ("OCI").  Under  the  new  guidance,  the  Company  is  also  required  to  evaluate  held  to  maturity  debt 
securities for expected credit losses. For more information on the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to 
the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" section of this note.

For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:
We  evaluate  our  investment  securities  portfolio  for  credit-related  impairment  at  least  quarterly,  and  more  frequently  when 
economic  and  market  conditions  warrant  such  evaluations.  Consideration  is  given  to  numerous  factors  including,  but  not 
limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions causing changes in the 
financial condition of the issuer of the security or underlying loan guarantors; changes to the rating of the security by a rating 
agency; and the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell 
the security before the recovery of its amortized cost, which may extend to maturity. 

The Company performs a process to determine whether declines in the fair value of securities has resulted from credit losses 
or other factors. This process involves evaluating each security for impairment by monitoring credit performance, collateral 
type,  collateral  geography,  bond  credit  support,  loan-to-value  ratios,  credit  scores,  loss  severity  levels,  pricing  levels, 
downgrades  by  rating  agencies,  cash  flow  projections  and  other  factors  as  indicators  of  potential  credit  issues.  If  this 
evaluation  indicates  the  existence  of  credit  losses,  the  Company  compares  the  present  value  of  cash  flows  expected  to  be 
collected  from  the  security  with  the  amortized  cost  basis.  If  the  present  value  of  expected  cash  flows  is  less  than  the 
amortized cost basis, an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value of the security is less 
than its amortized cost. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on securities are recorded with a corresponding 
provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. If the Company intends to sell the debt security or it is 
more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the 
security is written down to fair value against the allowance for credit losses, with any additional impairment reported on the 
Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company applies the practical expedient that permits the exclusion of the accrued 
interest receivable balance from amortized cost basis of financing receivables.

56

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:

The Company reviewed investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment quarterly. Impairment was considered to 
be other-than-temporary if it was likely that all amounts contractually due would not be received for debt securities and when 
there was no positive evidence indicating that an investment’s carrying amount was recoverable in the near term for equity 
securities. When a decline in the fair value of available for sale and held to maturity securities below cost was deemed to be 
credit related, a charge for other-than-temporary impairment was included in earnings as “Other-than-temporary impairment 
of securities”. The decline in fair value attributed to non-credit related factors was recognized in other comprehensive income 
and a new cost basis for the security was established. The new cost basis was not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair 
value.  In  evaluating  whether  impairment  was  temporary  or  other-than-temporary,  the  Company  considered,  among  other 
things, the time period the security was in an unrealized loss position; the financial condition of the issuer and its industry; 
recommendations of investment advisors; economic forecasts; market or industry trends; changes in tax laws, regulations or 
other  governmental  policies  significantly  affecting  the  issuer;  any  downgrades  from  rating  agencies;  and  any  reduction  or 
elimination of dividends. The Company’s intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any 
anticipated recovery in fair value was also considered.

Loans Held for Sale

The  Company  sells  mortgage  loans  and  loan  participations  for  an  amount  equal  to  the  principal  amount  of  loans  or 
participations  with  yields  to  investors  based  upon  current  market  rates.  Realized  gains  and  losses  related  to  loan  sales  are 
included in noninterest income.

The Company allocates the cost to acquire or originate a mortgage loan between the loan and the right to service the loan if it 
intends  to  sell  or  securitize  the  loan  and  retain  servicing  rights.  In  addition,  the  Company  periodically  assesses  capitalized 
mortgage  servicing  rights  for  impairment  based  on  the  fair  value  of  such  rights.  To  the  extent  that  temporary  impairment 
exists, write-downs are recognized in current earnings as an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance. Permanent 
impairment is recognized through a write-down of the asset with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. For 
purposes  of  performing  its  impairment  evaluation,  the  portfolio  is  stratified  on  the  basis  of  certain  risk  characteristics, 
including  loan  type  and  interest  rates.  Capitalized  servicing  rights  are  amortized  over  the  period  of,  and  in  proportion  to, 
estimated net servicing income, which considers appropriate prepayment assumptions.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company classifies a portion of its loans as “Mortgage loans held for sale”. Included in 
this category are loans which the Company has the current intent to sell and loans which are available to be sold in the event 
that the Company determines that loans should be sold to support the Company’s investment and liquidity objectives, as well 
as to support its overall asset and liability management strategies. Loans included in this category for which the Company has 
the current intention to sell are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the 
Company had $9,559,000 and $6,990,000, respectively, in loans classified as “Mortgage loans held for sale.”

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $80,898,000 and $118,818,000, respectively, outstanding in loans sold 
to government agencies that it was servicing through a third party.

Loans

The  following  describes  the  distinction  between  originated  and  acquired  loans  and  certain  significant  accounting  policies 
relevant to each category.

Originated Loans

Originated loans are carried net of discounts on loan originations and are amortized using the level yield interest method over 
the  remaining  contractual  life  of  the  loan.  Nonrefundable  loan  origination  fees,  net  of  direct  loan  origination  costs,  are 
deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield using the interest method.

Interest on loans receivable is accrued as earned using the interest method over the life of the loan. Interest on loans deemed 
uncollectible  is  excluded  from  income.  The  accrual  of  interest  is  discontinued  and  reversed  against  current  income,  with 
certain limited exceptions, once loans become more than 90 days past due or earlier if conditions warrant. The past due status 
of loans is determined based on the contractual terms. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and 
uncollected interest is charged against interest income on loans. Interest payments are applied to reduce the principal balance 
on nonaccrual loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when all past due payments are received in full and future payments 
are probable.

57

Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is 
made  that  a  loan  has  deteriorated  to  the  point  of  being  deemed  a  criticized  or  classified  loan,  updated  valuations  may  be 
ordered to help determine if there is impairment, which may lead to a recommendation for partial charge off or appropriate 
allowance  allocation.  Property  valuations  are  ordered  through,  and  reviewed  by,  the  Company’s  Appraisal  and  Review 
Department.  The  Company  typically  orders  an  “as  is”  valuation  for  collateral  property  if  the  loan  is  in  a  criticized  loan 
classification.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The 
collectability  of  individual  loans  is  determined  through  an  estimate  of  the  fair  value  of  the  underlying  collateral  and/or 
assessment of the financial condition and repayment capacity of the borrower.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are those associated with our acquisitions of Statewide Bank, GS Financial 
Corporation,  Britton  &  Koontz  Capital  Corporation,  Louisiana  Bancorp,  Inc.  and  SMB.  These  loans  were  recorded  at 
estimated fair value at the acquisition date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. The acquired loans were 
segregated  between  those  considered  to  be  performing  and  those  with  evidence  of  credit  deterioration  (purchased  credit 
impaired or “PCI”), and then further segregated into loan pools designed to facilitate the development of expected cash flows. 
The fair value estimate for each pool of acquired performing and PCI loans was based on the estimate of expected cash flows, 
both  principal  and  interest,  from  that  pool,  discounted  at  prevailing  market  interest  rates.  The  difference  between  the  fair 
value of an acquired loan pool and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date (the “fair value discount”) is accreted 
into income over the estimated life of the pool. 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduced a new model 
known as CECL and amended the accounting guidance for purchased financial assets. For more information on the impact to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" section of this note.

For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:

Management estimates the allowance for credit losses for acquired loans under the same methodology as originated loans. 
Changes  in  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  for  acquired  loans  are  recognized  through  the  provision  for  loan  losses  and  the 
provision for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments. 

ASC  326  replaced  the  guidance  for  PCI  loans  with  the  concept  of  purchased  credit  deteriorated  ("PCD").    For  reporting 
periods  beginning  on  and  after  January  1,  2020,  PCI  loans  have  been  re-classified  as  PCD  loans.  For  PCD  loans,  the 
Company applied the guidance under ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach. As a result, the Company adjusted 
the amortized cost basis of the PCD loans to reclassify $1.0 million of purchase discount to the allowance for loan losses on 
January 1, 2020. The Company applied the guidance under ASC 326 using the modified retrospective approach for all non-
PCD assets, which resulted in an increase in the ACL and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings at the adoption date. 

PCD loans, under prior accounting policies, were excluded from nonperforming loans because they continued to earn interest 
income from the accretable yield at the pool level regardless of their status as past due or otherwise not in compliance with 
their contractual terms. With the adoption of ASC 326, the pools were discontinued and performance is based on contractual 
terms for individual loans.

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326: 

Management  estimated  the  ALL  for  acquired  performing  or  non-PCI  loans  using  a  methodology  similar  to  that  used  for 
originated loans. The allowance determined for each loan pool was compared to the remaining fair value discount for that 
pool.  If  the  allowance  amount  calculated  under  the  Company’s  methodology  was  greater  than  the  Company’s  remaining 
discount,  the  additional  amount  called  for  was  added  to  the  reported  allowance  through  a  provision  for  loan  losses.  If  the 
allowance  amount  calculated  under  the  Company’s  methodology  was  less  than  the  Company’s  recorded  discount,  no 
additional allowance or provision was recognized. Actual losses first reduced any remaining nonaccretable discount for the 
loan pool. Once the nonaccretable discount was fully depleted, losses were applied against the allowance established for that 
pool.  Acquired  performing  or  non-PCI  loans  were  placed  on  nonaccrual  status  and  were  considered  and  reported  as 
nonperforming or past due using the same criteria applied to the originated portfolio.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected from a PCI loan pool over the pool’s estimated fair value at acquisition was 
referred to as the accretable yield and was recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining 
life  of  the  pool.  Each  pool  of  PCI  loans  was  accounted  for  as  a  single  asset  with  a  single  composite  interest  rate  and  an 
aggregate expectation of cash flows.

58

Management  estimated  cash  flows  expected  to  be  collected  on  each  PCI  loan  pool  periodically.  If  the  present  value  of 
expected cash flows for a pool was less than its carrying value, an impairment was recognized by an increase in the ALL and 
a charge to the provision for loan losses. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool was greater than its carrying 
value, any previously established ALL was reversed and any remaining difference increased the accretable yield, which was 
taken  into  interest  income  over  the  remaining  life  of  the  loan  pool.  PCI  loans  were  generally  not  subject  to  individual 
evaluation for impairment and were not reported with impaired loans, even if they otherwise qualified for such treatment.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The new standard significantly 
changed  the  impairment  model  for  most  financial  assets  that  are  measured  at  amortized  cost,  including  off-balance  sheet 
credit exposures, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. Refer to the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" 
section of this note for more information on the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For all reporting periods:

Changes in the allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending 
commitments,  are charged to current operations. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the 
allowance for credit losses once that determination is made.

While  management  uses  available  information  to  make  allowance  evaluations,  adjustments  to  the  allowance  may  be 
necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. The OCC, as an integral 
part of its examination processes, periodically reviews the allowance for credit losses. The OCC may require the recognition 
of  adjustments  to  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  based  on  its  judgment  of  information  available  to  it  as  of  the  time  of  its 
examinations. To the extent the OCC’s estimates differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance 
for  credit  losses  may  be  required  as  of  the  time  of  its  examination.  As  part  of  the  Bank’s  risk  management  program,  an 
independent  review  is  performed  on  the  loan  portfolio,  which  supplements  management’s  assessment  of  the  loan  portfolio 
and the allowance for credit losses. The result of the independent review is reported directly to the Audit Committee of the 
Board of Directors.

For reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326:

Under ASC 326, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist 
and is maintained at an amount which management believes is a current estimate of the expected credit losses for the full life 
of the relevant pool of loans and related unfunded lending commitments. The Company applies the practical expedient that 
permits  the  exclusion  of  the  accrued  interest  receivable  balance  from  amortized  cost  basis  of  financing  receivables  when 
measuring credit losses under CECL. The Company's CECL calculation estimates loan losses using the discounted cash flow 
method  for  all  loan  pools,  except  for  the  Company's  credit  card  portfolio.  Loan  losses  for  the  credit  card  portfolio  are 
estimated using the remaining life method due to the limited complexity and size of this portfolio. The discounted cash flow 
analysis uses loan-level term information (e.g., maturity date, payment amount, interest rate, etc.) and pool-level assumptions 
(e.g., default rates, prepayment speeds, etc.) to produce expected future cash flows for the full life of every loan in the pool. 
The expected future cash flows are discounted and results are then aggregated to produce a net present value of the pool and 
ultimately the ACL requirement for the pool. The remaining life method applies a loss rate to a given pool of loans over the 
estimated remaining life of the given pool. The remaining life of the pool is based on historical data. The loss rates computed 
for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded lending commitments to calculate an 
ACL on unfunded amounts.  For each pool of loans, management also evaluates and applies qualitative adjustments to the 
calculated  ACL  based  on  several  factors,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  changes  in  current  and  expected  future  economic 
conditions,  changes  in  industry  experience  and  loan  concentrations,  changes  in  the  volume  and  severity  of  nonperforming 
assets, changes in lending policies and personnel and changes in the competitive and regulatory environment of the banking 
industry. During 2020, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy has  been an additional consideration when 
measuring the ACL.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis. 
Individually analyzed loans generally include larger (i.e., loans with balances of $250,000 or greater) commercial real estate 
loans, multi-family residential loans, construction and land loans, commercial and industrial loans and other loans as deemed 
appropriate by management for which it is probable that all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be 
collected.  The ACL for loans that are individually evaluated is based on a comparison of the recorded investment in the loan 
with either the expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s original effective interest rate, observable market price for the 
loan or the fair value of the collateral underlying certain collateral-dependent loans.

The Company has identified the following portfolio segments based on the risk characteristics described in the table for its 
pooled loan analysis under ASC 326:

Loan Pool
One- to four-family first mortgage

Home equity loans and lines

Commercial real estate ("CRE")

Construction and land ("C&D")

Multi-family residential

Commercial and industrial ("C&I")

Consumer

Credit cards

Risk Characteristics
This  category  consists  of  loans  secured  by  first  liens  on  residential  real  estate.  The 
performance  of 
loans  may  be  adversely  affected  by,  among  other  factors,  
unemployment  rates,  local  residential  real  estate  market  conditions  and  the  interest  rate 
environment. Generally, these loans are for longer terms than home equity loans and lines. 

these 

This category consists of loans secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate. The 
performance  of 
loans  may  be  adversely  affected  by,  among  other  factors,  
unemployment  rates,  local  residential  real  estate  market  conditions  and  the  interest  rate 
environment.

these 

This  category  consists  of  loans  primarily  secured  by  office  and  industrial  buildings, 
warehouses, retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels 
and  restaurants.  The  performance  of  CRE  loans  may  be  adversely  affected  by,  among  other 
factors,    conditions  specific  to  the  relevant  industry,  the  real  estate  market  for  the  property 
type and geographic region where the property or borrower is located. 

This category consists of loans to finance the ground-up construction and/or improvement of 
residential  and  commercial  properties  and  loans  secured  by  land.  The  performance  of  C&D 
loans  is  generally  dependent  upon  the  successful  completion  of  improvements  and/or  land 
development for the end user, the sale of the property to a third party, or a secondary source of 
cash  flow  from  the  owners.  The  successful  completion  of  planned  improvements  and 
development  may  be  adversely  affected  by  changes  in  the  estimated  property  value  upon 
completion of construction, projected costs and other conditions leading to project delays.

This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more 
units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. The performance 
of multi-family loans is generally dependent on the receipt of rental income from the tenants 
who occupy the subject property. The occupancy rate of the subject property and the ability of 
the tenants to pay rent may be adversely affected by the location of the subject property and 
local economic conditions.

This  category  consists  of  secured  and  unsecured  loans  to  purchase  capital  equipment, 
agriculture  operating  loans  and  other  business  loans  for  working  capital  and  operating 
purposes.  Secured  loans  are  primarily  secured  by  accounts  receivable,  inventory  and  other 
business  assets.  The  performance  of  C&I  loans  may  be  adversely  affected  by,  among  other 
factors,  conditions specific to the relevant industry, fluctuations in the value of the collateral 
and individual performance factors related to the borrower.

This  category  consists  of  loans  to  individuals  for  household,  family  and  other  personal  use. 
The  performance  of  these  loans  may  be  adversely  affected  by  national  and  local  economic 
conditions, unemployment rates and other factors affecting the borrower's income available to 
service the debt.

This category consists of unsecured revolving lines of credit for personal and commercial use. 
Credit  card  loans  are  generally  smaller  in  size  and  are  less  complex  relative  to  larger  loan 
categories.    Due  to  their  unsecured  nature,  historical  loss  rates  for  credit  card  loans  are 
generally higher than the loss rates on loans secured by real estate. 

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 and the adoption of ASC 326: 

The allowance for loan losses was maintained at an amount which management believed covered the reasonably estimable 
and  probable  losses  on  such  portfolio.  The  allowance  for  loan  losses  was  comprised  of  specific  and  general  reserves.  The 
Company determined specific reserves based on the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables. The Company’s allowance for loan 
losses  included  a  measure  of  impairment  related  to  those  loans  specifically  identified  for  evaluation  under  the  topic.  This 
measurement  was  based  on  a  comparison  of  the  recorded  investment  in  the  loan  with  either  the  expected  cash  flows 
discounted  using  the  loan’s  original  effective  interest  rate,  observable  market  price  for  the  loan  or  the  fair  value  of  the 
collateral underlying certain collateral-dependent loans. General reserves were based on management’s evaluation of many 
factors,  including  current  economic  trends,  industry  experience,  historical  loss  experience  (generally  three  years),  industry 
loan concentrations, the borrowers’ abilities to repay and repayment performance, probability of foreclosure and estimated 
collateral values. In addition to these factors, management also considered the risk factors described in the table above for 
each segment of the loan portfolio when determining general reserves.

60

Office Properties and Equipment

Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-
line  method  with  rates  based  on  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  individual  assets,  which  range  from  three  to  40  years. 
Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment are capitalized while routine 
expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the amended provisions under ASC 842, Leases. Under the amended guidance, 
the Company recognizes lease assets and liabilities for both operating and capital leases.  For lessees, lease assets represent 
the  right  to  use  leased  assets  for  the  relevant  lease  term  and  lease  liabilities  that  represent  the  obligation  to  make  lease 
payments.  At  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  the  Company's  right-of-use  assets,  net  of  amortization,  were  $4,566,000  and 
$4,544,000, respectively. The Company's lease liabilities were $4,695,000 and $4,588,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 
respectively.  The  Company  reports  its  right-of-use  assets  and  liabilities  within  accrued  interest  receivable  and  other  assets 
and accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Cash Surrender Value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Life insurance contracts represent single premium life insurance contracts on the lives of certain officers of the Bank. The 
Bank is the beneficiary of these policies. These contracts are reported at their cash surrender value and changes in the cash 
surrender value are included in noninterest income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible  assets  consist  of  goodwill,  core  deposit  intangibles  and  mortgage  servicing  rights.  Goodwill  and  core  deposit 
intangibles  are  presented  together  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Financial  Condition.  Mortgage  servicing  rights  are 
recorded  in  accrued  interest  receivable  and  other  assets  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Financial  Condition.  Goodwill 
represents  the  excess  purchase  price  over  the  fair  value  of  net  assets  acquired  in  business  acquisitions.  Goodwill  is  not 
amortized  but  rather  is  evaluated  for  impairment  at  least  annually.  Core  deposit  intangibles  represent  the  estimated  value 
related  to  customer  deposit  relationships  assumed  in  the  Company’s  acquisitions.  Core  deposit  intangibles  are  being 
amortized  over  nine  to  15  years.  Mortgage  servicing  rights  represent  servicing  assets  related  to  mortgage  loans  sold  and 
serviced at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized over a maximum of 10 years using an accelerated method.

Foreclosed Assets and ORE

Foreclosed assets and ORE includes real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real 
property no longer used in the Bank's business. Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the 
date acquired or upon receiving new property valuations. Write-downs from cost to fair value at the date of foreclosure are 
charged against the allowance for credit losses. ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of 
transfer to ORE. Costs relating to the development and improvement of foreclosed assets and ORE are capitalized, and costs 
relating  to  holding  and  maintaining  foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  are  expensed.  Valuations  are  performed  periodically  and  a 
charge  to  operations  is  recorded  if  the  carrying  value  of  a  property  exceeds  its  fair  value  less  selling  costs.  Generally,  the 
Company appraises foreclosed assets and ORE at the time of foreclosure or transfer to ORE and at least every 12 months 
following the foreclosure or transfer to ORE. When the foreclosed property is sold, a gain or loss is recognized on the sale for 
the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the property. Financed sales of foreclosed property are 
accounted for in accordance with ASC 610, Subtopic 20, Gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets. The 
Company  had  $1,302,000  and  $4,156,000  of  foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  respectively. 
Foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  are  recorded  in  accrued  interest  receivable  and  other  assets  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of 
Financial Condition.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes 
in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a 
derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria 
necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair 
value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair 
value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or 
other  types  of  forecasted  transactions,  are  considered  cash  flow  hedges.  Hedge  accounting  generally  provides  for  the 
matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair 
value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the 
hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to 
economically  hedge  certain  of  its  risk,  even  though  hedge  accounting  does  not  apply  or  the  Company  elects  not  to  apply 
hedge accounting.

61

In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance (in ASU 2011-04), the Company made an accounting policy 
election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net 
basis by counterparty portfolio.

Other Investments

Other  investments  are  carried  at  cost  and  consist  of  Federal  Reserve  Bank  ("FRB")  stock,  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank 
("FHLB") stock, qualified investments under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), an investment in a Small Business 
Investment Company ("SBIC"), and a New Market Tax Credit ("NMTC") investment. The Company's other investments are 
not held for sale and do not have readily determinable fair values. As a member of the FRB and the FHLB, the Company is 
required to hold stock in the FRB and the FHLB. The FRB stock may not be sold or pledged as collateral. The FHLB stock is 
pledged  as  collateral  for  outstanding  FHLB  advances  and  its  transfer  is  substantially  restricted.  The  Company's  CRA 
investments include investments in funds and membership shares that fund community development in low- and moderate-
income areas. The Company's SBIC investment is guaranteed by the Small Business Association.  Other investments totaled  
$15,721,000  and  $17,179,000  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  respectively.  Other  investments  are  reported  in  accrued 
interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 

Shareholders’ Equity

Provisions  of  the  Louisiana  Business  Corporation  Act  eliminate  the  concept  of  treasury  stock  and  provide  that  shares 
reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued shares. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 
and 2018, the cost of shares repurchased by the Company have been allocated to common stock, additional paid-in capital, 
and retained earnings.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfers  of  financial  assets  are  accounted  for  as  sales  when  control  over  the  assets  has  been  relinquished.  Control  over 
transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains 
the right, free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right, to pledge or exchange the transferred assets 
and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them 
before maturity.

Salary Continuation Agreements

The Company records the expense associated with its salary continuation agreements over the service periods of the persons 
covered under these agreements.

Revenue Recognition

In addition to lending and related activities, the Company offers various services to customers that generate revenue, certain 
of which are governed by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance under ASC 606 was effective for 
annual  and  interim  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2017.  The  transition  to  the  accounting  guidance  under 
ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's services that fall within 
the  scope  of  ASC  606  are  presented  within  noninterest  income  and  include  service  charges  and  fees,  brokerage  fees,  and 
other transaction-based fees. Revenue is recognized when the transactions occur or as services are performed over primarily 
monthly or quarterly periods. Payment is typically received in the period the transactions occur. Fees may be fixed or, where 
applicable, based on a percentage of transaction size.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the 
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and 
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is 
more  likely  than  not.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  using  enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to  taxable 
income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax 
rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income taxes during the period that includes the enactment date.

In  the  event  the  future  tax  consequences  of  differences  between  the  financial  reporting  bases  and  the  tax  bases  of  the 
Company’s  assets  and  liabilities  results  in  deferred  tax  assets,  an  evaluation  of  the  probability  of  being  able  to  realize  the 
future benefits indicated by such asset is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of the deferred tax asset 
when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of 

62

the  deferred  tax  assets,  management  considers  the  scheduled  reversals  of  deferred  tax  liabilities,  projected  future  taxable 
earnings and tax planning strategies.

The income tax benefit or expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax 
assets and liabilities.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax 
examination, with a tax examination presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is 
greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no 
tax benefit is recorded.

The  Company  recognizes  interest  and  penalties  accrued  related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits,  if  applicable,  in  noninterest 
expense. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties 
in its financial statements and did not record an accrued liability for interest or penalty payments.

Investments that generate investment tax credits are accounted for under the deferral method. Under the deferral method, the 
allowable investment credit is recognized as a reduction in income tax expense over the life of the acquired investment.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company has issued stock options under the 2009 Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to directors, 
officers and other key employees. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, 
the  Company  has  adopted  a  fair  value  based  method  of  accounting  for  employee  stock  compensation  plans,  whereby 
compensation cost is measured as of the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service 
period, which is usually the vesting period.

The Company has issued restricted stock under the 2009 Recognition and Retention Plan and restricted stock units under the 
2014  Equity  Incentive  Plan  to  directors,  officers  and  other  key  employees.  Awards  under  the  plans  may  not  be  sold  or 
otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The unearned compensation related to these awards is amortized 
to  compensation  expense  over  the  service  period,  which  is  usually  the  vesting  period.  The  total  share-based  compensation 
expense for these awards is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of grant 
applied to the total number of shares granted and is amortized over the vesting period.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common 
shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  reflects  additional  common  shares  that  would  have  been 
outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from 
the assumed issuance.

Comprehensive Income

GAAP generally requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain 
changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and cash flow hedges, are 
reported  as  a  separate  component  of  the  equity  section  of  the  balance  sheets,  such  items,  along  with  net  earnings,  are 
components of comprehensive income. The tax effect for unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and cash flow 
hedges was $1,218,000, $770,000 and $(278,000) for the periods ending December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 
The reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income had no tax effect for the periods ending December 31, 2020, 
2019 and 2018. Comprehensive income is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Loss Contingency Disclosure

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities 
when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not 
believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduced a new model 
known  as  CECL.  ASC  326  requires  financial  assets  measured  on  an  amortized  cost  basis,  including  loans  and  held  to 
maturity debt securities, to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), which reflects expected 
losses  for  the  full  life  of  the  financial  asset.  Unfunded  lending  commitments  are  also  within  the  scope  of  this  amendment. 
Under former GAAP, credit losses were not recognized until the occurrence of the loss was probable and entities, in general, 
did not attempt to estimate credit losses for the full life of financial assets. 

ASC  326  also  amended  the  accounting  model  for  purchased  financial  assets  and  replaced  the  guidance  for  PCI  financial 
assets with the concept of PCD financial assets. For non-PCD assets, the CECL estimate is recognized through an ACL and 
provision for credit losses. For PCD assets, the CECL estimate is recognized through an ACL with an offset to the cost basis 
of  the  PCD  asset  at  the  date  of  acquisition.  Subsequent  changes  in  the  ACL  for  PCD  assets  are  recognized  through  a 
provision for loan losses. The financial assets formerly classified as PCI are now classified as PCD assets under ASC 326. 
Under  former  GAAP,  an  allowance  and  related  provision  expense  was  only  recorded  for  purchased  financial  assets  if  the 
amount of estimated probable losses exceeded the fair value discount for the financial assets. 

In addition, ASC 326 requires expected credit related losses for available for sale debt securities to be recorded through an 
ACL,  while  non-credit  related  losses  will  continue  to  be  recognized  through  OCI.  The  guidance  under  ASC  326  had  no 
impact  on  the  Company's  available  for  sale  debt  securities  at  January  1,  2020  or  December  31,  2020.  Management 
determined  that  the  declines  in  the  fair  value  of  these  securities  at  such  dates  were  not  attributable  to  credit  losses.    The 
Company’s held to maturity debt securities are also required to utilize the CECL approach to estimate expected credit losses. 
Under ASC 326, the Company did not expect credit losses and recorded no ACL for its held to maturity debt securities at 
January 1, 2020 or December 31, 2020.

The  Company  applied  the  guidance  under  ASC  326  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  for  all  non-PCD  loans  and 
unfunded lending commitments. Upon adoption on January 1, 2020, the Company recorded an after-tax decrease to retained 
earnings of $4.7 million. The transition adjustment included $3.6 million due to the increase in allowance for non-PCD loan 
losses and $2.4 million due to the ACL on unfunded lending commitments. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we revised our 
estimate of losses on unfunded lending commitments which resulted in an aggregate release of $2.2 million of our ACL on 
unfunded lending commitments. Of the $2.2 million release of this allowance, $1.3 million was recognized as a reduction of 
non-interest expense and $940,000 ($740,000 net of taxes) was recognized as an increase to retained earnings. The revision 
reflected, among other factors, refinement of our estimate of future funding rates on unfunded lending commitments.

For  PCD  loans,  formerly  classified  as  PCI,  the  Company  applied  the  guidance  under  ASC  326  using  the  prospective 
transition approach. As a result, the Company adjusted the amortized cost basis of the PCD loans to reclassify $1.0 million of 
purchase discount to the ALL on January 1, 2020.

64

The  results  for  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2020  are  presented  under  ASC  326,  while  prior  period 
amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The following table illustrates the impact 
of ASC 326.

(1) The ACL for unfunded lending commitments is recorded within accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated 
Statements of Financial Condition. During the fourth quarter of 2020, a revision to our estimate of the ACL on unfunded lending 
commitments reduced the ASC 326 adoption impact by $940,000.

(2) For  PCD  loans,  formerly  classified  as  PCI,  the  Company  applied  the  guidance  under  CECL  using  the  prospective  transition 
approach. As a result, the Company adjusted the amortized cost basis of the PCD loans to reclassify the purchase discount to the 
ALL on January 1, 2020.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for 
Fair  Value  Measurement.  The  ASU  removed,  modified  and  added  certain  disclosure  requirements  for  fair  value 
measurements.  Under  the  ASU,  public  entities  are  no  longer  required  to  disclose  the  valuation  processes  for  Level  3  fair 
value measurements, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used 
to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the change in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive 
income for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also removed the requirement to disclose transfers between Level 1 
and Level 2 fair value measurements and the policy for those transfers. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual 
reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2019  and  did  not  impact  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  as  the 
update only revises disclosure requirements.

Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

In  December  2019,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2019-12,  Simplifying  the  Accounting  for  Income  Taxes  (Topic  740).  The 
amendments in this ASU simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles 
in Topic 740. The amendments also improved the consistent application of and simplified GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 
by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods 
beginning  after  December  15,  2020.  The  Company  does  not  expect  the  adoption  of  this  ASU  to  impact  the  Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

Management  evaluates  securities  for  impairment  from  credit  losses  at  least  quarterly,  and  more  frequently  when  economic 
and market conditions warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to numerous factors including, but not limited to, the 
extent  to  which  the  fair  value  is  less  than  the  amortized  cost  basis;  adverse  conditions  causing  changes  in  the  financial 
condition of the issuer of the security or underlying loan guarantors; changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; 
and  the  Company’s  intent  to  sell  a  security  or  whether  it  is  more  likely  than  not  the  Company  will  be  required  to  sell  the 
security before the recovery of its amortized cost, which may extend to maturity.

The  Company  performs  a  process  to  determine  whether  the  decline  in  the  fair  value  of  securities  has  resulted  from  credit 
losses  or  other  factors.  This  process  involves  evaluating  each  security  for  impairment  by  monitoring  credit  performance, 
collateral  type,  collateral  geography,  bond  credit  support,  loan-to-value  ratios,  credit  scores,  loss  severity  levels,  pricing 
levels, downgrades by rating agencies, cash flow projections and other factors as indicators of potential credit issues. If this 
evaluation  indicates  the  existence  of  credit  losses,  the  Company  compares  the  present  value  of  cash  flows  expected  to  be 
collected  from  the  security  with  the  amortized  cost  basis.  If  the  present  value  of  expected  cash  flows  is  less  than  the 
amortized cost basis, an ACL is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized 
cost.

The Company's investment securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by type and length of time that individual securities 
have been in a continuous loss position, are summarized in the following tables.

At December 31, 2020, 33 of the Company’s debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 0.3% of the individual securities’ 
amortized cost basis and 0.04% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. At such 
date, three of the 33 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months. Management has determined that 
the declines in the fair value of these securities were not attributable to credit losses. As a result, no ACL was recorded for 
available for sale investment securities at December 31, 2020.

At  December  31,  2020,  it  was  determined  that  no  ACL  was  required  for  the  Company's  held  to  maturity  investment 
securities.  The  Company  monitors  credit  quality  of  debt  securities  held  to  maturity  through  the  use  of  credit  ratings.  The 
following  table  presents  the  amortized  cost  of  the  Company's  held  to  maturity  securities  by  credit  quality  rating  at 
December 31, 2020.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value by maturity of the Company’s investment securities as of December 31, 2020 are 
shown  in  the  following  tables.  Securities  are  classified  according  to  their  contractual  maturities  without  consideration  of 
principal  amortization,  potential  prepayments  or  call  options.  The  expected  maturity  of  a  security  may  differ  from  its 
contractual maturity because of the exercise of call options and potential paydowns. Accordingly, actual maturities may differ 
from contractual maturities.

(1) At  December  31,  2020,  $1.4  million  of  the  ACL  related  to  unfunded  lending  commitments  of  $336.9  million.  The  ACL  on 
unfunded lending commitments is recorded within accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of 
Financial Condition.

(2) At December 31, 2020, loans individually evaluated for impairment included $277,000 of loans acquired with deteriorated credit 

quality.

(3) At December 31, 2019, loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality were deemed to be PCI and were accounted for under ASC 

310-30.

Although  the  Company  has  a  diversified  loan  portfolio,  a  substantial  portion  of  the  loan  portfolio  is  collateralized  by 
improved and unimproved real estate and is dependent, in part, on values in the real estate market.

The preceding classifications follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows:

•

•

•

•

Pass loans are of satisfactory quality.

Special  mention  loans  have  an  existing  weakness  that  could  cause  future  impairment,  including  the  deterioration  of 
financial ratios, past due status, questionable management capabilities and possible reduction in the collateral values.

Substandard  loans  have  an  existing  specific  and  well  defined  weakness  that  may  include  poor  liquidity  and 
deterioration  of  financial  ratios.  The  loan  may  be  past  due  and  related  deposit  accounts  experiencing  overdrafts. 
Immediate corrective action is necessary.

Doubtful  loans  have  specific  weaknesses  that  are  severe  enough  to  make  collection  or  liquidation  in  full  highly 
questionable and improbable.

In  addition,  residential  loans  are  classified  using  an  inter-regulatory  agency  methodology  that  incorporates,  among  other 
factors,  the  extent  of  delinquencies  and  loan-to-value  ratios.  These  classifications  were  the  most  current  available  as  of 
December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were generally updated within the prior three months.

(1) Due to the adoption of ASC 326, PCD loans of $390,000 are included in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2020. Prior to 
January 1, 2020, these loans were classified as PCI and excluded from nonperforming loans because they continued to earn 
interest income from the accretable yield at the pool level. At adoption, the pools were discontinued and performance is based 
on contractual terms for individual loans.

(2) PCI loans which were being accounted for under ASC 310-30 were excluded from nonaccrual loans because they continued 
to  earn  interest  from  accretable  yield  regardless  of  their  status  as  past  due  or  otherwise  not  in  compliance  with  their 
contractual terms. PCI loans which were being accounted for under ASC 310-30 and which were 90 days or more past due 
totaled $2.2 million as of December 31, 2019.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. All payments 
received  while  on  nonaccrual  status  are  applied  against  the  principal  balance  of  nonaccrual  loans.  The  Company  does  not 
recognize interest income while loans are on nonaccrual status.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  was  not  committed  to  lend  additional  funds  to  any  customer  whose  loan  was 
individually evaluated for impairment.

Collateral Dependent Loans

The Company held loans that were individually evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2020 for which the repayment, on 
the basis of our assessment at the reporting date, is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the 
collateral  and  the  borrower  is  experiencing  financial  difficulty.  The  ACL  for  these  collateral-dependent  loans  is  primarily 
based on the fair value of the underlying collateral at the reporting date. The following describes the types of collateral that 
secure collateral dependent loans:

•

•

•

•

•

One- to four-family first mortgages are primarily secured by first liens on residential real estate.

Home equity loans and lines are primarily secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate.

Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shopping 
facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants.

Construction  and  land  loans  are  primarily  secured  by  residential  and  commercial  properties,  which  are  under 
construction and/or redevelopment, and by raw land.

Commercial  and  industrial  loans  considered  collateral  dependent  are  primarily  secured  by  accounts  receivable, 
inventory and equipment.

The table below summarizes collateral dependent loans and the related ACL at December 31, 2020 for which the borrower is 
experiencing financial difficulty.

Foreclosed assets and ORE include real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real 
property  no  longer  used  in  the  Bank's  business.  Foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  totaled  $1,302,000  and  $4,156,000  at 
December  31,  2020  and  December  31,  2019,  respectively.  These  amounts  are  recorded  in  accrued  interest  receivable  and 
other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The  carrying  amount  of  foreclosed  residential  real  estate  properties  held  at  December  31,  2020  and  December  31,  2019 
totaled $877,000 and $1,737,000, respectively. Loans secured by single family residential real estate that were in the process 
of foreclosure at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $446,000 and $723,000, respectively.

Foreclosed assets and ORE included certain bank buildings that meet the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. The 
carrying value of these assets totaled $212,000 and $1,275,000 at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 
During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  sold  six  of  these  properties,  with  a  total  carrying  value  of 
$1,035,000, for a loss of $126,000 recorded in foreclosed assets and ORE, net expense on the Consolidated Statements of 
Income. The expected timing of the sale of the remaining properties is uncertain.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

During the course of its lending operations, the Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to 
protect as much of its investment as possible and to minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the 
terms of a customer loan to alleviate the burden of the customer’s near-term cash requirements. Loans are TDRs when the 
Company agrees to restructure a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties in a manner that is deemed to be 
a “concession”. The Company defines a concession as a modification of existing terms granted to a borrower for economic or 
legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that the Company would otherwise not consider. The concession 
either is granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court or by law. Concessions include modifying 
original loan terms to reduce or defer cash payments required as part of the loan agreement, including but not limited to:

•

•

•

•

a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt,

an extension of the maturity date or dates at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar 
risk characteristics,

a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt or

a reduction of accrued interest receivable on the debt.

In  its  determination  of  whether  the  customer  is  experiencing  financial  difficulties,  the  Company  considers  numerous 
indicators, including, but not limited to:

•

•

•

•

•

whether the customer is currently in default on its existing loan, or is in an economic position where it is probable the 
customer will be in default on its loan in the foreseeable future without a modification,

whether the customer has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy,

whether there is substantial doubt about the customer’s ability to continue as a going concern,

whether,  based  on  its  projections  of  the  customer’s  current  capabilities,  the  Company  believes  the  customer’s  future 
cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt, including interest, in accordance with the contractual terms of the 
existing agreement for the foreseeable future and

whether, without modification, the customer cannot obtain sufficient funds from other sources at an effective interest 
rate equal to the current market rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor.

If  the  Company  concludes  that  both  a  concession  has  been  granted  and  the  concession  was  granted  to  a  customer 
experiencing financial difficulties, the Company identifies the loan as a TDR. For purposes of the determination of an ACL, 
larger (i.e., TDRs with balances of  $250,000 or greater) commercial TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment. The 
ACL for loans that are individually evaluated is based on a comparison of the recorded investment in the loan with either the 
expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s original effective interest rate, observable market price for the loan or the fair 
value of the collateral underlying certain collateral-dependent loans. Residential, consumer and smaller balance commercial 
TDRs are included in the Company's pooled-loan analysis to calculate the ACL and, generally, do not have a material impact 
on the overall ACL.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had modified loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $36,047,000, or 
2% of total outstanding loans, via payment relief in the nature of principal and/or interest deferrals. These modifications were 
done  in  accordance  with  Section  4013  of  the  Coronavirus  Aid,  Relief,  and  Economic  Security  ("CARES")  Act  and  the 
Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications on Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by 
the Coronavirus.  Accordingly, these loans were not categorized as TDRs.

respectively.

Collateral for short and long-term FHLB advances is secured through a blanket lien evidenced by the Company’s pledge of 
first  mortgage  collateral,  demand  deposit  accounts,  capital  stock  and  certain  other  assets  pursuant  to  the  “Advances, 
Collateral  Pledge  and  Security  Agreement.”  Under  this  collateral  pledge  agreement,  the  Bank  must  meet  all  statutory  and 
regulatory capital standards and must meet all FHLB credit underwriting standards. Management believes that the Bank was 
in compliance with all such requirements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

As  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  the  Company  had  $787,232,000  and  $738,955,000,  respectively,  of  additional  FHLB

13. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company 
principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business 
activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the 
amount,  sources,  and  duration  of  its  assets  and  liabilities  and  the  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments.  Specifically,  the 
Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the 
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  

The  Company’s  existing  credit  derivatives  result  from  loan  participation  arrangements,  therefore,  are  not  used  to  manage 
interest  rate  risk  in  the  Company’s  assets  or  liabilities.  The  Company  occasionally  enters  into  credit  risk  participation 
agreements with counterparty banks to accept a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps. The agreements, which 
are typically executed in conjunction with a participation in a loan with the same customer, allow customers to execute an 
interest rate swap with one bank while allowing for the distribution of the credit risk among participating members. Collateral 
used  to  support  the  credit  risk  for  the  underlying  lending  relationship  is  also  available  to  offset  the  risk  of  credit  risk 
participations and customer derivative positions.  

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure 
to  interest  rate  movements.  As  part  of  its  efforts  to  accomplish  this  objective,  during  the  second  quarter  of  2020,  the 
Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate 
swaps  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges  involve  the  receipt  of  variable  amounts  from  a  counterparty  in  exchange  for  the 
Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  
During 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable rate liabilities.

For  derivatives  designated  and  that  qualify  as  cash  flow  hedges  of  interest  rate  risk,  the  gain  or  loss  on  the  derivative  is 
recorded  in  Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Income  and  subsequently  reclassified  into  interest  expense  in  the  same 
period(s)  during  which  the  hedged  transaction  affects  earnings.  Amounts  reported  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable 
rate  liabilities.  During  the  next  twelve  months,  the  Company  estimates  that  an  additional  $60,000  will  be  reclassified  as 
additional interest expense. 

88

 
 
 
 
 
Non-designated Hedges

The  Company’s  existing  credit  derivatives  result  from  participations  in  interest  rate  swaps  provided  by  external  lenders  as 
part  of  loan  participation  arrangements,  therefore,  are  not  used  to  manage  interest  rate  risk  in  the  Company’s  assets  or 
liabilities.  Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain 
lenders which participate in loans. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the 
fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately.

The  Company  has  agreements  with  each  of  its  derivative  counterparties  that  contain  a  provision  where  if  the  Company 
(either)  defaults  (or  is  capable  of  being  declared  in  default)  on  any  of  its  indebtedness,  then  the  Company  could  also  be 
declared in default on its derivative obligations. 

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails 
to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the Company could be required to post additional 
collateral.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  there  were  no  derivatives  with  credit-risk-related  contingent  features  in  a  net  liability  position. 
Such derivatives  are measured at fair value, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance 
risk.  If  the  Company  had  breached  any  provisions  at  December  31,  2020,  it  would  not  have  been  required  to  settle  any 
obligations under the agreements since the termination value was $0.

14. Income Taxes

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 included a number of changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact the Company, most 
notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. 

The  Company  files  federal  income  tax  returns  on  a  calendar  year  basis.  Income  tax  expense  for  the  years  indicated  is

Retained earnings as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, included $5,837,000 for which no deferred federal income tax liability 
has  been  recognized.  This  amount  represents  an  allocation  of  income  to  bad  debt  deductions  for  tax  purposes  only. 
Reductions of amounts so allocated for purposes other than bad debt losses would create income for tax purposes only, which 
would be subject to the then-current federal statutory income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the 
above amount was $1,985,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Current accounting standards do not require the accrual of 
this deferred tax amount to be recorded unless it is probable that the reserve (for tax purposes) will be significantly depleted 
by  loan  losses  deductible  for  tax  purposes  in  the  future.  Based  on  current  estimates  of  losses  within  the  Company’s  loan 
portfolio,  accrual  of  the  deferred  tax  liability  associated  with  this  reserve  was  not  required  as  of  December  31,  2020  and 
2019.

15. Commitments

Standby letters of credit represent commitments by the Bank to meet the obligations of certain customers if called upon. The 
Bank normally secures its outstanding standby letters of credit with deposits from the customer. Additionally, in the normal 
course of business, there were various other commitments and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the financial 
statements.  Loan  commitments  are  single-purpose  commitments  to  lend  which  will  be  funded  and  reduced  according  to 
specified repayment schedules. Most of these commitments have maturities of less than one year. 

The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant 
to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit, and the undisbursed portion of construction loans as of December 31 of the 
years indicated.

The  Bank  uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  as  it  does  for  on-balance-sheet  instruments.  The  Bank 
evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary 
by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but 
may  include  certificates  of  deposit,  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  income-producing  properties.  There  are  no 
commitments  which  present  an  unusual  risk  to  the  Bank,  and  no  material  losses  are  anticipated  as  a  result  of  these 
transactions.

16. Regulatory Matters

The  Bank  is  subject  to  regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by  the  OCC.  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  Company’s  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the 
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative 
measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The 
Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk 
weightings and other factors.

In July 2013, the Federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their risk-based capital requirements and the 
method  for  calculating  components  of  capital  and  of  computing  risk-weighted  assets  to  make  them  consistent  with 
agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. 
The  rule  established  a  common  equity  Tier  1  minimum  capital  requirement,  increased  the  minimum  capital  ratios  and 
assigned a higher risk weight to certain assets based on the risk associated with these assets. The final rule also included a 
capital conservation buffer which was phased in over a five-year period until it reached 2.5% on January 1, 2019. 

Dividends paid by the Bank are the primary source of funds available to the Company. Banking regulations limit the amount 
of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the regulatory authorities.

92

 
 
 
 
 
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy requires the Bank to maintain minimum amounts 
and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 risk-based capital (as defined) to average assets and risk-weighted 
assets  (as  defined).  Management  believes,  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  that  the  Bank  met  all  capital  adequacy 
requirements to which it was subject.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” 
under  the  OCC  regulatory  classification  framework.  To  be  categorized  as  “well  capitalized,”  the  Bank  must  maintain 
minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the following 
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The  following  tables  present  actual  and  required  capital  ratios  for  the  the  Bank  under  the  Basel  III  Capital  Rules.  The 
minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 
based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules were 
fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, 
as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

17. Benefit Plans

401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan

The Company’s 401(k) defined contribution plan allows its participants to contribute up to 75% of their pretax earnings on a 
tax-deferred  basis  up  to  the  statutory  limit.  The  Company’s  matching  contributions  are  equal  to  100%  of  the  employee’s 
contributions up to 2%, plus 50% of the employees’ contributions over 2% but not over 6% of the employee’s pay. For the 
years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019  and  2018,  the  Company  made  contributions  of  $964,000,  $919,000  and  $872,000, 
respectively,  in  connection  with  the  plan,  which  is  included  in  compensation  and  benefits  expense  in  the  accompanying 
Consolidated Statements of Income.

93

 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In 2008, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for the benefit of all eligible employees of 
the Company. The leveraged ESOP is accounted for in accordance with the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock 
Compensation.

Employees  of  the  Bank  who  have  been  employed  for  a  six  month  period  and  who  have  attained  age  21  are  eligible  to 
participate in the ESOP. It is anticipated that contributions will be made to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the 
debt to the Company over a period of 20 years.

Under ASC 718, unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding and are shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity 
as  unearned  compensation.  Dividends  on  unallocated  ESOP  shares  are  considered  to  be  compensation  expense.  The 
Company  recognizes  compensation  cost  equal  to  the  fair  value  of  the  ESOP  shares  during  the  periods  in  which  they  are 
committed  to  be  released.  To  the  extent  that  the  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  ESOP  shares  differs  from  the  cost  of  such 
shares,  the  differential  is  credited  to  shareholders’  equity.  The  Company  receives  a  tax  deduction  equal  to  the  cost  of  the 
shares released. As the loan is internally leveraged, the loan receivable from the ESOP to the Company is not reported as an 
asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a Company liability.

Compensation cost related to the ESOP was $726,000, $1,085,000 and $1,345,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 
2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of the unearned ESOP shares, using the closing quoted market price per share as 
of year-end, was approximately $7,746,000 and $12,245,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A summary of 
the ESOP share allocation as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 follows.

As a supplement to its 401(k) retirement plan, the Bank has entered into nonqualified salary continuation agreements with 
three  executive  officers  of  the  Bank.  The  Bank's  2007  salary  continuation  agreement  with  its  Chief  Executive  Officer 
(“CEO”) provides that the executive will receive a stated annual benefit for a period of ten years upon retirement from the 
Bank.    Benefits  under  the  2007  agreement  vested  over  ten  years,  with  100%  of  this  benefit  having  vested  in  2017.  Also, 
effective May 20, 2019 the Bank entered into a new salary continuation agreement with its CEO, which will provide the CEO 
with an additional stated annual benefit for a period of ten years upon his retirement after attaining age 65. The CEO is 100% 
vested in his normal retirement benefit under the 2019 agreement. In the event of early retirement, the Bank will pay the CEO 
his vested benefits, in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the separation from service.  

The Bank’s salary continuation agreement with its Chief Credit Officer ("CCO"), provides that the executive will be entitled 
to a stated annual benefit, distributed monthly, for a period of ten years upon retirement from the Bank after attaining age 65. 
Benefits under the agreement became fully vested in August 2019. In the event of early retirement, the Bank shall pay the 
executive  his  vested  benefits  in  120  equal  monthly  installments  upon  attaining  age  65.  In  the  event  of  a  separation  from 
service within 24 months following a change in control but prior to normal retirement age, the Bank shall distribute to the 
executive the vested portion of the annual benefit in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the separation from 
service. Benefits are subject to a six months delay to the extent required by applicable law. 

On May 20, 2019 the Bank also entered into salary continuation agreement with its Chief Operations Officer ("COO"). The 
agreement provides that the COO will be entitled to a stated annual benefit, distributed monthly for a period of ten years upon 
retirement from the Bank after attaining age 65. The retirement benefits vest over a period of ten years or until the executive 
officer reaches age 65. In the event of early retirement, the Bank will pay the executive officer his vested benefits in a lump 
sum on the first day of the month following each executive officer’s separation from service. In the event of a separation from 
service  within  24  months  following  a  change  in  control  of  the  Bank  prior  to  reaching  age  65,  the  Bank  shall  pay  him  an 
amount equal to the greater of (i) his accrued benefits as of the end of the year immediately preceding the separation from 
service or a stated amount.  This amount will be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the separation 
from service.

In August 2020, the Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") resigned from his position with the Company and the Bank. 
Prior  to  the  his  resignation,  the  Bank  was  under  a  salary  continuation  agreement  with  the  CFO.  Under  the  terms  of  the 
agreement, the Company will pay his vested benefits of $36,000 in one lump sum on March 1, 2021. 

Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation had two salary continuation agreements funded in the amount of $465,000 at the time 
of acquisition in February 2014.  Former executives of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation or their beneficiaries are being 
paid over 15 years from the time of acquisition in February 2014. Louisiana Bancorp, Inc. also had two salary continuation 
agreements  funded  in  the  amount  of  $1,200,000  at  the  time  of  acquisition  in  September  2015.  The  Bank  will  pay  former 
executives  of  Louisiana  Bancorp,  Inc.  or  their  beneficiary  within  10  years  subsequent  to  the  time  of  the  acquisition  in 
September  2015.  SMB  had  a  salary  continuation  agreement  for  an  executive  officer  related  to  its  acquisition  of  American 
Bank in 2007. The former executive of American Bank or his beneficiaries are being paid $358,000 over 14 years from the 
time of the SMB acquisition in December 2017. 

The  Company  had  an  outstanding  liability  totaling  $3,331,000  and  $3,227,000  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019, 
respectively,  in  connection  with  the  agreements,  which  is  included  in  accrued  interest  payable  and  other  liabilities  in  the 
accompanying statements of financial condition.

18. Stock-based Payment Arrangements

The  Company’s  shareholders  approved  the  2009  Stock  Option  Plan  (the  “SOP”)  and  the  2009  Recognition  and  Retention 
Plan (the “RRP”) on May 12, 2009 to provide incentives and awards for directors, officers, and other key employees of the 
Company and its subsidiary. A maximum of 892,687 shares of Company common stock were reserved for issuance upon the 
exercise of options granted under the SOP. A total of 357,075 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or 4% of 
total shares outstanding at the time the RRP was implemented, were approved for restricted stock awards under the RRP. The 
SOP and RRP expired February 2019. Expiration of the SOP and RRP did not affect any unvested options or awards granted. 
On May 6, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan 
authorizes  the  granting  of  stock  options,  restricted  stock  units  and  other  awards  to  directors,  officers  and  other  key 
employees.  The  aggregate  number  of  shares  of  our  common  stock  reserved  and  available  for  issuance  pursuant  to  awards 
granted under the 2014 Plan is 350,000. These plans are administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, 
which selects persons eligible to receive awards and determines the number of shares and/or options subject to each award, 
the  terms,  conditions  and  other  provisions  of  the  awards.  In  accordance  with  ASC  718,  the  Company  adopted  a  fair  value 
based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured as of the grant 
date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has issued stock options under the SOP and the 2014 Plan to directors, officers and other key employees. The 
option exercise price cannot be less than the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant and 
the maximum option term cannot exceed ten years. All stock options granted have been issued with vesting periods of five 
years  with  accelerated  vesting  provided  under  certain  circumstances.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  options  to  acquire  an 
aggregate of 204,540 shares were outstanding under the SOP and the 2014 Plan.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model 
requires management to make certain assumptions, including the expected life of the option, the risk-free rate of interest, the 
expected volatility and the expected dividend yield. The following assumptions were made in estimating 2020 fair values:

Expected dividends
Expected volatility
Risk-free interest rate
Expected term (in years)

3.95%
24.65%
0.7%
6.5

As of December 31, 2020, there was $393,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options which is expected 
to be recognized over a period of 2.9 years.

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019  and  2018,  the  Company  recognized  $216,000,  $200,000  and  $168,000, 
respectively, in compensation cost related to stock options, which is included in compensation and benefits expense in the 
accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The  Company  has  issued  restricted  stock  under  the  RRP  to  directors,  officers  and  other  key  employees.  During  2009,  the 
Company purchased in the open market all shares required to fund the RRP at an average cost of $11.81 per share. As of 
December 31, 2020, the cost of such shares held by the RRP totaled $22,000, which is included in the Company’s unallocated 
common stock held by the RRP in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Under the 2014 Plan, the Company may 
issue restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, options and other awards.

Awards under the RRP and the 2014 Plan may not be sold or otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The 
unearned compensation related to these awards is amortized to compensation expense over the five-year vesting period. The 
total share-based compensation expense for these awards is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common 
stock as of the date of grant applied to the total number of shares granted and is amortized over the vesting period. As of 
December 31, 2020, unearned share-based compensation associated with these awards totaled $1,089,000.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $573,000, $602,000 and $573,000, 
respectively, in compensation cost related to restricted stock and restricted stock units, which is included in compensation and 
benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

21. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company values its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels as required by ASC 820, Fair 
Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures.  Under  this  guidance,  fair  value  should  be  based  on  the  assumptions  market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used 
to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable 
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•

•

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and 
liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or 
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value 
of  the  assets  or  liabilities.  This  includes  certain  pricing  models,  discounted  cash  flow  methodologies,  and  similar 
techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant 
to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s 
assets and liabilities quarterly.

Recurring Basis

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Fair  values  of  investment  securities  available  for  sale  are  primarily  measured  using  information  from  a  third-party  pricing 
service. This pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data 
information.  Standard  inputs  include  benchmark  yields,  reported  trades,  broker/dealer  quotes,  issuer  spreads,  benchmark 
securities,  bids,  offers,  and  reference  data  from  market  research  publications.  If  quoted  prices  are  available  in  an  active 
market, investment securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. If quoted prices are not available in an active market, 
fair values were estimated primarily by the use of pricing models. Level 2 investment securities were primarily comprised of 
mortgage-backed  securities  issued  by  government  agencies  and  U.S.  government-sponsored  enterprises.  In  certain  cases, 
where  there  is  limited  or  less  transparent  information  provided  by  the  Company’s  third-party  pricing  service,  fair  value  is 
estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third-party broker quotes. Investment 
securities are classified within Level 3 when little or no market activity supports the fair value.

98

 
 
Management primarily identifies investment securities which may have traded in illiquid or inactive markets by identifying 
instances of a significant decrease in the volume and frequency of trades, relative to historical levels, as well as instances of a 
significant  widening  of  the  bid-ask  spread  in  the  brokered  markets.  Investment  securities  that  are  deemed  to  have  been 
trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs. For example, management may 
use quoted prices for similar investment securities in the absence of a liquid and active market for the investment securities 
being valued. As of December 31, 2020, management did not make adjustments to prices provided by the third-party pricing 
service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

The  fair  value  of  these  derivative  financial  instruments  is  obtained  from  a  third-party  pricing  service  that  uses  widely 
accepted  valuation  techniques  including  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  on  the  expected  cash  flows  of  each  derivative.  The 
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based 
inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the 
market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected 
variable cash payments (or receipts).  The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest 
rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.  The Company has determined that its derivative 
valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 
2019 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy in which these measurements fall.

Nonrecurring Basis

The Company records loans individually evaluated for impairment at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. A loan is considered 
impaired if it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan 
agreement.  Fair  value  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  for  collateral-dependent  loans.  For  non-collateral-
dependent  loans,  fair  value  is  measured  by  present  valuing  expected  future  cash  flows.  Impaired  loans  are  classified  as 
Level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties of the collateral less any prior liens and when there is no 
observable market price.

Foreclosed assets and ORE are also recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at 
fair value less estimated costs to sell. ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to 
ORE.  The  fair  value  of  foreclosed  assets  and  ORE  is  based  on  property  appraisals  and  an  analysis  of  similar  properties 
available. As such, the Company classifies foreclosed and ORE assets as Level 3 assets.

The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis into the 
most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement 
date in the tables below.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires the disclosure of each class of financial instruments for which 
it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between 
willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in 
many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted 
market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those 
techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. 
Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. ASC 820 excludes 
certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate 
fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Fair  value  estimates  are  made  at  a  specific  point  in  time,  based  on  relevant  market  information  and  information  about  the 
financial  statement  element.  These  estimates  are  subjective  in  nature  and  involve  uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant 
judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates included herein are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting 
to  estimate  the  value  of  anticipated  future  business  and  the  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  required  to  be 
recorded or disclosed at fair value like premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of 
the  unrealized  gains  and  losses  can  have  a  significant  effect  on  fair  value  estimates  and  have  not  been  considered  in  the 
estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which 
it is practicable to estimate that value:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits in banks approximate their fair value.

The fair value for investment securities is determined from quoted market prices when available. If a quoted market 
price is not available, fair value is estimated using third party pricing services or quoted market prices of securities 
with similar characteristics.

The carrying value of mortgage loans held for sale approximates their fair value.

The  fair  value  of  loans  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future  cash  flows  using  the  current  rates  at  which  similar 
loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturity.

The cash surrender value of BOLI approximates its fair value.

The  fair  value  of  customer  deposits,  excluding  certificates  of  deposit,  is  the  amount  payable  on  demand.  The  fair 
value  of  fixed-maturity  certificates  of  deposit  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future  cash  flows  using  the  rates 
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of other borrowings and long-term FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows 
using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar maturities.

The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are obtained from a third-party pricing service that uses the market 
standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected 
variable cash payments (or receipts).

The fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was immaterial.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our  management  evaluated,  with  the  participation  of  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  the 
effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  under  the  Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2020. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer  have  concluded  that  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are  designed  to  ensure  that  information  required  to  be 
disclosed  by  us  in  the  reports  that  we  file  or  submit  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  is  recorded,  processed, 
summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  SEC’s  rules  and  regulations  and  are  operating  in  an 
effective manner.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The  management  of  Home  Bancorp,  Inc.  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over 
financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of 
the  Company’s  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  the  Company’s  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial 
reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company’s internal control systems are designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in the 
financial records and to safeguard assets from material loss or misuse. Such assurance cannot be absolute because of inherent 
limitations in any internal control system.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 
based  on  the  criteria  for  effective  internal  control  established  in  Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the 
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  in  2013.  Based  on  the  assessment,  management 
determined  that  the  Company  maintained  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2020.  Our 
independent  registered  public  accountants  have  issued  an  audit  report  on  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting. This report appears at the beginning of Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to 
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
