Ahead of the Curve

The phrase “ahead of the curve” is used to describe when one is in an advanced position compared to others or 

one who is changing before competitors, be it in a technological, responsive, or leadership sense. The phrase first 

appeared with regularity in print during the Nixon presidency and is generally assumed to have initially referred to 

placement relative to mathematical curves, such as being on the right-hand side of the Bell curve that is used in 

statistics (suggesting one is above average) or on charts displaying time-to-adopt of new technologies (suggesting 

one is an early adopter of new technology).

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, however, the phrase was actually adapted from the phrase “staying 

ahead of the power curve,” first used in 1926 in reference to the mathematics of flight. Aviators target optimal 

power, airspeed, and positioning to ensure safe and efficient flight. Many bankers and investors learned similar 

lessons of discipline, safe flight, and avoiding stall speed during the recent financial crisis.

Set forth below is our Mission Statement, which has remained constant since we adopted it 17 years ago. It has 

served as a guiding principle of discipline, safety, and performance as we face challenges and opportunities – just 

as we did in 2016.

TO SHAREH OL DERS

Dear Shareholders,

We recently completed a very active year of focus, 
change, and opportunity. The outcomes associated 
with many of the activities and events that occurred 
during the year were as we expected, while others 
were somewhat of a surprise. These activities and 
events  generally  led  to  favorable  outcomes  for 
our  shareholders,  including  improved  financial 
operating  performance  in  2016  and  enhanced 
long-term  growth  prospects.  Overall,  I  was  very 
pleased with our team’s achievements throughout 
the year, our active engagement to reduce the risk 
posture of our Company, and the unique position 
we occupy within the financial services industry. As 
exhibited throughout 2016, we are ahead of the 
industry curve in areas such as risk management, 
efficiency  improvements,  balance  sheet  strength, 
and planting seeds for future growth.

Risk Management.  To stay ahead of the curve, we 
made tremendous investments over the last several 
years  in  risk  management  processes,  systems, 
and  talent  to  assist  us  in  better  understanding 
and  proactively  managing  the  risks  we  face.  As 
an  outgrowth  of  those  efforts,  over  the  last  two 
years we engaged in a “risk-off trade” to reduce 
our energy-related and indirect automobile loans, 
along with tightening our credit standards in select 
markets impacted by energy price volatility. 

Since  year-end  2014,  the  cumulative  decline  in 
risk-off  loans  was  $797  million,  with  estimated 
opportunity costs of $6 million in 2015 and $15 
million  in  2016.  We  believe  the  avoidance  of 
potential future loss exposures vastly outweighed 
that  were 
the  near-term 
sacrificed in this risk-off trade.

foregone  revenues 

Over the last several years, we placed great focus 
on identifying, communicating, and reducing our 
energy-related  exposures.  On  June  30,  2014, 
approximately 8.4% of our total loan portfolio was 
composed of energy-related loans when the price 
of oil was trading at $105 per barrel. About that 
time, we began a proactive “risk-off” reduction of 
our energy exposure given what we perceived was 
an over-extended market. By year-end 2015, our 
energy exposure declined to 4.8% of total loans. 

By  late  January  2016,  the  price  of  oil  dropped 
below  $27  per  barrel.  Despite  our  preemptive 
risk  off  efforts,  the  market  price  of  our  common 
stock  declined  precipitously.    By  year-end  2016, 
the price of oil rebounded above $54 per barrel, 
while  our  energy-related  loans  further  declined 
to  3.7%  of  total  loans,  and  our  common  stock 
price rebounded to all-time highs. We believe we 
took prudent steps, which while costly in the short 
term,  provided  appropriate  long-term  benefit  to 
our shareholders.

After seven years of participating in the loss-share 
programs  associated  with  our  FDIC-assisted 
acquisitions,  we 
terminated  12  outstanding 
loss-share agreements in 2016. These agreements 
provided  for  the  sharing  of  both  losses  and 
recoveries  with  the  FDIC  over  the  agreements’ 
terms.  While  the  losses  from  these  loans  have 
diminished considerably, in 2016 we experienced 
$10 million in recoveries, of which $8 million, or 
81%, was reimbursed to the FDIC. As a result of 
these  negotiated  terminations,  we  will  no  longer 
be required to share in recoveries with the FDIC 
as we have in the past.

Efficiency  Improvements.    Throughout    2016, 
we  focused  on  growing  revenues  and  holding 
down  expenses,  which  resulted  in  improved 
profitability to the benefit of our shareholders. In 
2016, revenues increased $75 million, or 9%, and 
expenses  declined  $4  million,  or  1%,  compared 
to  2015.  Over  that  period,  our  efficiency  ratio 
improved  from  71%  to  64%  (a  lower  ratio 
is  better),  and  our  non-Generally  Accepted 
Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) core tangible 
efficiency ratio improved from 65% to 60%, and 
we thus achieved the long-term target we set five 
years ago.  While our total assets increased 11% 
between year-ends 2015 and 2016, our number 
of  full-time  equivalent  associates  declined  by 
2%.  As a result of our balance sheet expansion, 
relatively stable margin, and improved efficiency, 
our  earnings  grew  $36  million,  or  25%,  and 
our  earnings  per  common  share  climbed  17%, 
compared  to  2015.  Book  value  per  common 
share increased 6% and tangible book value per 

2  /  ANNUAL REPORT 2016

common  share  climbed  14%  over  that  period. 
In  addition  to  these  increases,  our  common 
shareholders  also  benefitted  from  an  expansion 
in  the  price  trading  multiples  on  our  common 
stock by year-end 2016. Overall, we experienced 
a  very  favorable  improvement  in  our  financial 
performance  in  2016  with  record  core  financial 
results.

Balance  Sheet  Strength.  Despite  the  risk-off 
trades  and  continued  reduction  of  the  acquired 
loan  portfolios  in  2016,  average  loans  grew 
$1.4  billion,  or  10%,  compared  to  2015,  and 
year-end  2016  loans  increased  $738  million,  or 
5%, compared to the prior year-end.  In addition, 
we experienced phenomenal client deposit growth 
in 2016. Average deposit growth increased $1.1 
billion,  or  7%,  while  year-end  deposit  growth 
increased $1.2 billion, or 8%. Approximately half 
of  the  deposit  growth  in  2016  was  composed  of 
low-cost,  non-interest-bearing  deposits.  This  may 
be  a  result  of  our  building  and  solidifying  core 
banking relationships with many of our commercial 
clients,  as  we  now  hold  their  primary  operating 
accounts.

As  a  result  of  the  exceptional  deposit  growth 
in  2016,  we  experienced  a  significant  increase 
in  liquidity  on  our  balance  sheet.  Cash, 
cash-equivalents,  and  liquid  securities  increased 
by $1.3 billion between year-ends 2015 and 2016 
and  equated  to  16%  of  total  assets  at  year-end 
2016,  up  from  11%  one  year  prior.  We  remain 
very  asset-sensitive,  implying  that  an  increase  in 
interest  rates  would  be  beneficial  to  our  income 
over  the  next  12  months.  We  believe  we  are 
well-positioned for rising interest rates.

internal  capital 
Throughout  much  of  2016, 
generation (from our income earned less dividends 
paid to shareholders) was sufficient to support our 
balance sheet growth. As a result, we did not need 
to raise capital from external sources to support 
our growth. As the year progressed, however, we 
decided to opportunistically enter capital-driven 

transactions to take advantage of favorable market 
conditions  that  we  believe  bode  well  for  our 
shareholders over the long-term. 

Early  in  2016,  the  price  of  our  common  stock 
suffered  as  a  result  of  perceived  risk  in  our 
energy-related  loan  portfolio,  while  the  cost  for 
our  Company  to  issue  preferred  stock  remained 
favorably low. In May 2016, our Board of Directors 
authorized the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares 
of our common stock. To support the common stock 
purchase, we also authorized our second preferred 
stock  offering,  with  net  proceeds  totaling  $55 
million.  In  June  2016,  we  repurchased  202,506 
shares,  or  21%  of  the  authorized  repurchase 
program,  at  a  weighted  average  cost  of  $57.61 
per share.

As  our  earnings  improved  throughout  the  year, 
investor  interest  in  asset-sensitive  banks  came 
back  into  favor,  and  the  price  of  our  common 
stock  gained  considerably.  In  early  December, 
our  common  stock  price  reached  all-time  highs. 
As  a  result  of  the  favorable  market  conditions 
and  perceived  growth  opportunities,  we  further 
bolstered our capital position through the issuance 
and  sale  of  3.6  million  common  shares  in  an 
underwritten  public  offering.  This  resulted  in  net 
proceeds totaling $280 million and at a price of 
$81.50  per  share,  a  price  that  was  31%  higher 
than  the  weighted  average  price  at  which  our 
common stock traded throughout 2016. As a result 
of  the  capital  raise,  net  of  shares  repurchased, 
and the improvement in our share price in 2016, 
our  market  capitalization  increased  $1.5  billion, 
or  66%,  between  year-ends  2015  and  2016.  
We  believe  our  capital  raises  in  2016  were  very 
well-timed.

Preparing  for  the  Future.    In  March  2017,  our 
bank  marked  the  130th  anniversary  since  its 
founding  in  1887.    Our  longevity  and  success 
continue  to  be  driven  by  serving  our  clients 
and  communities  well,  recruiting  and  retaining 
carefully  managing 
high-quality  associates,

risk,  capitalizing  on  opportunities,  planting  and 
cultivating seeds for future growth, and delivering 
favorable long-term shareholder returns. 

In  August  2016,  certain  markets  in  Louisiana 
received up to 31 inches of rain within a three-day 
period that caused extensive flooding. This flooding 
was considered to be a once-in-a-thousand year 
event.  Fortunately,  our  Company  and  the  vast 
majority  of  our  clients  avoided  the  devastating 
impact of the storms. To assist associates, clients, 
and  communities  in  the  recovery  efforts,  we 
provided  financial  assistance,  low-interest  loans, 
and  other  relief  efforts.  In  addition,  many  of  our 
associates  assisted  colleagues,  friends,  families, 
neighbors,  and  the  broader  community  over 
several  months  in  the  recovery  and  rebuilding 
process.

In  2016,  we  were  very  active  in  community 
development  as  well.  For  example,  we  invested 
nearly  $60  million 
in  various  community 
development projects, an increase of 8% compared 
to 2015. We sponsored the National Community 
Reinvestment Coalition’s Annual Conference, one 
of  the  nation’s  largest  gatherings  of  community 
non-profits,  policymakers,  government  officials, 
small businesses, banks, and academia, all coming 
together to create a just economy. We were also 
a significant contributor to Step Up For Students, 
which provides scholarships to give disadvantaged 
families  the  freedom  to  choose  the  best  learning 
options for their children. Finally, as an innovative 
investment, we purchased a less-than-5% stake in 
New Orleans-based Liberty Financial Services, one 
of  the  nation’s  largest  African-American-owned 
banks,  which  provides  viable  banking  solutions 
to  various  underserved  communities  in  a  very 
high-quality  manner.  We  recognize  that  we  must 
continuously invest in our communities given our 
Company can only be successful to the extent that 
the communities we serve are successful.

In  December  2016,  we  entered  the  vibrant 
Greenville  market  in  Upstate  South  Carolina  by 
hiring  Samuel  Erwin  as  South  Carolina  Regional 
President.  Considered  to  be  one  of  the  nation’s 
top markets for economic growth, Upstate South 
Carolina  is  a  10-county  area  with  a  population 
of  approximately  1.4  million  people  and  23 
universities and colleges. We are excited to have 
Sam  join  our  team  and  look  forward  to  building 
out a dynamic presence in South Carolina.

In March 2017, we announced an agreement to 
acquire Miami-based Sabadell United Bank, N.A., 
a  subsidiary  of  Spain-based  Banco  de  Sabadell, 
S.A.    At  December  31,  2016,  Sabadell  United 
Bank had $5.8 billion in total assets and 25 bank 
branches. This proposed acquisition will provide us 
entrance into the center of the Miami Metropolitan 
Statistical  Area,  a  market  with  a  population  of 
more than six million people. Upon the completion 
of that pending transaction, the scale and strength 
of  our  Company  would  be  enhanced  and  our 
relative ranking within our industry would continue 
to  grow.  When  we  announced  our  change  of 
strategic  direction  in  1999,  we  had  $1.3  billion 
in total assets, and we ranked as the 248th largest 
bank  holding  company  in  the  U.S.    With  the 
addition of Sabadell United Bank, we would grow 
on a pro forma basis to $27.4 billion in assets and 
become the 40th largest bank holding company in 
the nation.

In summary, we experienced a wave of activity in 
2016 and early 2017 that we believe will benefit 
our  Company  and  our  shareholders  for  many 
years. During 2016, we exhibited great discipline 
by reducing our risk posture via our risk-off trade 
that  sacrificed  near-term  income,  while  at  the 
same  time  growing  our  sources  of  revenue  in  a 
high-quality manner and holding our cost structure 
in  check.  We  made  favorable  investments  in  our 
Company,  opportunistically  repurchased  shares 
and raised external capital, and we positioned our 
Company for future increases in interest rates. We 
delivered  record  financial  operating  results  and 
planted a few new flags for future growth. It was 
an exciting year of focus, change, and opportunity.

Our industry is changing, and we believe we are 
well-positioned to be ahead of the curve.

On behalf of our leadership team and associates, 
we  thank  you  for  your  continued  support  of  our 
Company.

Sincerely,

Daryl G. Byrd
President and Chief Executive Officer

Chairman’s Letter 

TO T HE  SH ARE HOLD E RS

Dear Shareholders,

Your Board of Directors was actively engaged throughout 2016 in its fiduciary responsibilities to the Company’s 
constituents – our shareholders, clients, regulators, communities, and associates. We recognize the important 
roles that we serve in aligning these varying interests. We also ensure that appropriate levels of risk oversight, 
goal  setting,  plan  execution,  corporate  governance,  and  incentive  compensation  are  designed  to  achieve 
desired  outcomes.  Mind  you,  this  is  no  easy  task.  During  2016,  we  actively  engaged  appropriate  outside 
parties  to  stay  abreast  of  industry  changes,  opportunities,  and  challenges.  We  also  engaged  third  parties 
to help us benchmark to appropriate industry standards and provide the Board with unbiased, independent 
insight regarding important topics, such as executive compensation, industry trends, and acquisitions. Finally, 
over  the  last  several  years  members  of  the  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  participated  in  direct 
institutional investor outreach to gain unfiltered feedback regarding the Company’s performance, direction, 
and shareholder expectations. We have found this feedback and insight to be very helpful as we help guide 
this Company’s direction.

Based on shareholder feedback and consultant input, the Compensation Committee refined the Company’s 
corporate  governance  policies  and  executive  compensation  programs  over  the  last  several  years.  Actions 
taken included more closely aligned executive pay and performance, greater transparency of clearly defined 
performance  goals  and  metrics  for  annual  incentives,  increased  ownership  guidelines,  adoption  of  policies 
regarding anti-pledging, and future change in control agreements, which require double-triggers and exclude 
excise tax provisions. In addition, annual incentives placed greater weight on operating earnings and asset 
quality measures, and less on balance sheet growth. Long-term incentives shifted to higher performance-based 
weighting rather than time-based metrics. As a result of these significant actions taken by the Compensation 
Committee, our shareholders overwhelmingly supported our 2016 Say-on-Pay vote.

Shareholder value advanced on many fronts in 2016. The cresting of energy-related concerns assisted in the 
improvement in the price of bank stocks during the year, as did an increase in short-term interest rates and the 
discussion surrounding the perceived impact of potential future reductions in corporate and personal income 
tax rates. Of potentially equal or greater influence was the Company’s improved financial performance and 
actions taken to improve shareholder value.

During 2016, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 
of which $12 million was expended to acquire 202,506 shares; 747,494 common shares remain outstanding 
under that program. In September 2016, the Board approved a 6% increase in cash dividends on common 
stock,  equivalent  to  approximately  $4  million  in  additional  cash  dividends  paid  on  an  annualized  basis. 
Despite this increase in cash dividends, the common stock dividend payout ratio declined from 38% in 2015 
to 33% in 2016. The aggregate amount of cash dividends paid to common and preferred shareholders totaled 
$67 million in 2016, a 22% increase compared to 2015.

Importantly for our shareholders, the price of our common stock gained $28.68 per common share during 
2016, an improvement of 52% compared to year-end 2015. Our common stock attained an all-time high 
of  $91.10  per  share  in  early  December  2016,  before  settling  at  $83.75  at  year-end  2016.  A  longer-term 
view  since  the  change  of  strategic  direction  our  leadership  announced  in  late  1999  provides  even  more 
interesting results. For the 17-year period between year-ends 1999 and 2016, and assuming the reinvestment 
of dividends over that time frame, the total return on our Company’s common stock was 1,051%, or a 15% 
annualized return. While those measures are clearly outstanding, as evidenced in the chart on the next page, 
our shareholder returns compared to alternative investments over that period are particularly compelling.

Our shareholder performance was earned through the development and execution of a sound business model, 
unique  strategic  positioning,  discipline,  opportunistic  investing,  and  keen  business  acumen.  We  also  have 
gained excellent insight and advice over the years from our Board of Directors and local Advisory Boards.

In accordance with good corporate governance practice, our Board has a mandatory retirement policy at the 
age of 76. Miles Pollard, a young man at heart, retired from the Board in 2016 after serving with us for 13 
years. We thank Miles for his many years of loyalty and service to our Company and shareholders, and we 
will miss his sage counsel. During the year, Rick E. Maples joined the Board after retiring from Stifel, Nicolaus 
and Company, Inc., where he served for 31 years. We are delighted to have Rick as a member of our Board.

Unfortunately, we also had to bid farewell to some very close friends and Advisory Board members who passed 
away in 2016, including Bill Rucks, Bob Lowe, and Billy Blake.  These gentlemen served our Advisory Boards 
very well and for many years. We are honored to have worked with them and will miss them greatly.

I am very proud of our leadership team, the more than 3,000 associates who serve our clients in a high-quality 
manner, our 218 Advisory Board members who serve on our 19 Advisory Boards in seven states, and my 10 
fellow Board members who tirelessly serve our shareholders.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of your Company, we thank you for the opportunity to continue to serve 
you.

Sincerely,

William H. Fenstermaker
Chairman of the Board

Client Growth

Client growth at our Company was more measured in 2016 compared to prior years, though still quite favorable 
compared to the banking industry. Between year-ends 2015 and 2016, the commercial banking industry in the U.S. 
grew assets, loans, and investments at a 5% rate and deposits at a slightly higher rate of 6%. Over that period, our 
total assets and investments grew at well more than twice the industry rates.

Loan Volume.    While  our  loan  growth  of  5%  matched 
the industry’s rate of growth over that period, our loan 
growth  was  tempered  by  several  factors,  including 
reductions  in  acquired,  energy-related,  and  indirect 
automobile loans. Over time, these countervailing forces 
are anticipated to diminish considerably.

First, throughout 2016, we continued to resolve problem 
assets that were marked to fair value at acquisition, while 
loans that fit our credit profile were renewed or refinanced 
during the year. As a result, during 2016, loans acquired 
in  FDIC-assisted  and  live-bank  acquisitions  declined 
$767  million,  or  24%.  At  its  peak  in  November  2009, 
acquired  loans  accounted  for  30%  of  our  total  loan 
portfolio. By year-end 2015, the figure dropped to 22% 
and  declined  further  to  16%  of  total  loans  at  year-end 
2016.

Second, over the last several years, we made great strides 
reducing  our  energy-related  loan  and  commitment 
exposure.  As  a  result,  energy-related  loans  declined 
$120 million, or 18%, from the start to the end of 2016. 
At  December  31,  2016,  total  energy-related  loans 
equated to $561 million, or less than 4% of total loans, 
down from a peak of greater than 8% of total loans.

Third, for more than 20 years, we successfully provided 
indirect  automobile  loans  to  select  automobile  dealers 
in  our  footprint.  In  fact,  at  its  peak  in  2002,  indirect 
automobile loans composed 23% of our loan portfolio.  

After many years of limited growth, we decided two years 
ago  to  exit  the  indirect  automobile  lending  business. 
We concluded the compliance risk associated with that 
business  in  general  had  become  unbalanced  relative 
to  potential  returns  generated  by  the  business  on  a 
risk-adjusted basis. As a result, our indirect automobile 
loans  outstanding  declined  from  $397  million,  or  over 
3% of total loans at year-end 2014, to $131 million, or 
less  than  1%  of  total  loans  at  year-end  2016.  Indirect 
automobile loans declined $115 million, or 47%, during 
2016.

Loan  Originations  and  Renewals.  We  achieved 
outstanding loan production levels in 2016. We attained 
record  loan  originations  and  renewals  of  $3.8  billion, 
up 10% compared to 2015. Originations and renewals 
combined  with  loan  commitments  totaled  $5.2  billion, 
up  7%  compared  to  2015,  also  a  record  level  for  our 
Company.  Midway  through  the  year,  our  commercial 
loan  pipeline  hit  $1  billion,  reaching  another  record 
level.

We  originate  mortgage  loans  with  the  intent  to  sell  the 
loans  to  outside  investors  via  our  secondary  marketing 
operations.  In  2016,  we  originated  $2.5  billion  in 
mortgage loans, just shy of the record production level 
set  in  2015.  As  shown  in  the  following  chart,  loans 
originated  to  be  held  on  our  balance  sheet  and  loans 
to be sold to investors totaled a record $6.3 billion, an 
increase of $357 billion, or 6%, compared to 2015.

Deposit Volumes. Deposit growth in 2016 well exceeded 
industry results. Total deposits increased $1.2 billion, or 
8%, between year-ends 2015 and 2016, including record 
quarterly deposit growth of $886 million during the fourth 
quarter of 2016. The mix of deposit growth was also very 
impressive – approximately half of the deposit growth in 
2016  was  composed  of  low-cost,  non-interest-bearing 
deposits.  Although  no  acquisitions  were  completed  in 
2016, approximately 62% of our deposit growth in 2016 
was the result of new clients added during the year and 
38% of the deposit growth was associated with expanded 
balances of continuing deposit relationships.

We launched two deposit campaigns in 2016 that were 
broad-based across many markets and very well received. 
Competitive  disruptions  that  were  occurring  in  several 
markets  at  the  time  of  the  campaigns  provided  support 

for the campaigns’ success. We also received a significant 
influx late in the year of seasonal and temporary deposits 
that are expected to diminish over time.

The significant inflow of deposits, particularly in the last 
half  of  2016,  resulted  in  a  tremendous  increase  in  our 
liquidity position. We placed some of that excess liquidity 
into  short-term  investments,  and  parked  the  remainder 
in  cash-like  investments  until  deployed  at  a  later  date 
when  loan  origination  volumes  accelerate.  As  a  result, 
our  investment  portfolio  grew  $636  million,  or  22%, 
between year-ends 2015 and 2016. Similarly, cash and 
cash equivalents increased $852 million, or 167%, over 
that period. This excess liquidity temporarily compressed 
our net interest margin, particularly in the second half of 
2016.

Assimilating Prior Acquisitions

The three acquisitions that were announced in 2015 were closed, converted, and assimilated in that year. The 
targeted expense savings were generally achieved as initially projected. We are very pleased with the expense and 
revenue synergies and the favorable growth prospects associated with those acquisitions.

A significant portion of the loan and deposit growth that we achieved in 2016 was concentrated in markets in 
which our recent acquisitions occurred, including the Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, and Dallas markets. These four 
markets  delivered  $589  million  in  loan  growth  and  $508  million  of  deposit  growth  between  year-ends  2015 
and 2016. These levels of growth equated to 80% and 41%, respectively, of our total loan and deposit growth 
during the year.

Diversified Business Model

Geographic  Diversification.    With  the  completed  acquisitions,  our  franchise  has  become  more  geographically 
diverse over time. Each of the 31 metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) has different economic drivers and growth 
characteristics  with  little  correlation  between  markets.  Unlike  many  of  our  competitors,  we  price  our  deposits 
differently in each market to ensure optimal pricing from a growth and cost perspective. As shown in the charts that 
follow, the geographic diversification of our loans and deposits would be further enhanced upon the completion of 
the recently announced acquisition of Sabadell United Bank.

Revenue Diversification.  We made significant investments in various fee income businesses over the last decade in 
an effort to reduce our reliance on spread-based income and diversify our sources of revenue. These businesses are in 
varying stages of maturity, ranging from early stage to mature development. As shown in the following chart, sources 
of fee income from a few of these businesses exhibited significant increases in revenues over the last several years.

Mortgage  Loan  Origination  and  Servicing.  We  originated  $2.5  billion  in  residential  mortgage  loans  in  2016, 
down less than 1%, compared to the mortgage industry growth rate of 13%, as measured by the Mortgage Bankers 
Association. Our loan refinancing levels were 20% of total originations, or less than half of the industry average 
of 48%, in 2016. We sold $2.5 billion in loans to investors, an increase of less than 1% compared to 2015, and 
a record level of annual sales. At year-end 2016, we retained $1.1 billion in loans serviced for the Company and 
outside investors, an increase of 17% compared to one year prior. We reported only $4 million in mortgage servicing 
rights at year-end 2016. Mortgage income totaled $84 million in 2016, an increase of $3 million, or 4%, compared 
to 2015.

Title  Insurance.    Lenders  Title  Company  (“LTC”)  expanded  into  the  New  Orleans  market  during  2016.  LTC 
experienced a 5% increase in title insurance transactions and reported $22 million in revenues in 2016, down 3% 
compared to 2015. Although down compared to the prior year, revenues in 2016 were the second highest level in 
LTC’s history. LTC’s net income increased 20% in 2016 compared to 2015.

SBA  Lending.  Loans  originated  under  Small  Business  Administration  (“SBA”)  programs  increased  in  2016. 
IBERIABANK  earned  Preferred  Lender  Program  status  during  the  year,  and  loans  originated  under  the  SBA  7(a) 
program increased 164% compared to 2015. Mercantile Capital’s SBA 504 program closed 42 transactions in 10 
different states with total project costs for the transactions reaching a record level of $241 million.

Treasury Management.  Treasury Management (“TM”) increased investments in products and capabilities, and our 
sustained commitment to serve as the primary bank for our clients has enabled us to expand client relationships, 
acquire new clients, and grow deposits. TM continued to be a key driver of revenue and deposit growth in 2016. 
Led by an 18% increase in new clients, 31% expansion in service charge income, 24% increase in purchasing card 
income, and 18% growth in wire and cash management income, TM’s net fee income grew 28% in 2016 compared 
to 2015.

Client Derivatives. The Company provides a full range of interest rate hedging products that allow qualified clients 
to lock in attractive long-term interest rates on certain commercial loans without increasing the Company’s exposure 
to potential changes in interest rates. In 2016, we closed a record 103 client derivative transactions in 18 markets. 
The number of transactions and net revenues from this activity more than doubled in 2016 compared to 2015.

Syndications.  The  Company  has  full-service  syndication  expertise  that  manages  the  Company’s  agented  loan 
transactions  throughout  its  footprint.  The  syndications  team  arranged  $499  million  in  loans  in  eight  markets 
throughout the Company’s footprint and achieved record transaction fees in 2016.

Retail  Brokerage.  IBERIA  Financial  Services’  assets  under  management  increased  9%  during  2016,  reaching 
$1.5  billion  at  year-end  2016.  As  a  result  of  a  shift  away  from  transaction-based  to  greater  fee-based  business 
activity, revenues declined 15% compared to 2015. Advisory assets and associated fees increased 34% and 31%, 
respectively, compared to 2015.

Institutional Brokerage.  IBERIA Capital Partners (“ICP”) experienced reduced activity over the last two years as a 
result of the general decline in energy prices. As energy prices recovered in the second half of 2016, ICP revenues 
improved as well.

Wealth Management. IBERIA Wealth Advisors’ (“IWA”) assets under administration grew by 93% to $2.7 billion at 
year-end 2016. IWA’s revenues and net income reached record levels in 2016.

12  /  ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Efficiency

Over  the  last  four  years,  we  have  been  one  of  the 
most active bank acquirers in the nation (by number of 
transactions  completed).    We  completed  five  live  bank 
acquisitions and the acquisition of a set of branches in 
Memphis, with aggregate loans totaling $3.3 billion and 
deposits of $3.8 billion, along with 62 bank branches in 
multiple  markets  in  Florida,  Texas,  Louisiana,  Georgia, 
and Tennessee.

Efficiency  improvements  extended  to  staffing  as  well. 
total  assets 
Between  year-ends  2012  and  2016, 
increased by $8.5 billion, or 65%, while the number of 
full-time equivalent employees increased by 403, or only 
15%.  The  reduction  in  staffing  as  a  result  of  the  bank 
branch  consolidations  combined  with  synergies  gained 
in  the  support  functions  resulted  in  significant  expense 
control during this period.

During this period we were also very focused on improving 
the efficiency of our branch delivery system, our support 
functions, and balance sheet. Between 2013 and 2015, 
we  executed 
improvement 
three  distinct  efficiency 
programs  that  generated  aggregate  run-rate  savings 
of  $50  million  on  a  pre-tax  basis.  In  2016,  we  closed 
or consolidated 19 bank branches and eight mortgage 
locations  and  opened  one  bank  branch,  one  title 
insurance  office,  and  four  mortgage  locations.  The  net 
result of the 2016 initiatives was an additional $1 million 
in pre-tax savings per quarter commencing in the second 
quarter of 2016. In aggregate over the last four years, 
we acquired 62 bank branches, closed or consolidated 
60 bank branches, and opened 10 new bank branches. 
Many of the newer branches were designed to be more 
efficient and to target the underserved banking segments 
within  our  communities.  In  summary,  we  closed  nearly 
as  many  bank  branches  as  we  acquired  during  this 
period,  and  as  a  result,  we  were  also  one  of  the  most 
active consolidators of bank branches in the nation (on 
a percentage of branches outstanding basis).

Our efficiency improvement efforts have focused on both 
sides  of  the  efficiency  equation  –  improving  revenues 
and reducing or holding down costs. We have been very 
successful on both fronts. Between 2013 and 2016, our 
total  revenues  expanded  $324  million,  or  58%,  while 
total expenses increased only $94 million, or 20%, which 
resulted  in  an  improvement  in  our  efficiency  ratio  from 
85% in 2013 to 64% in 2016. Similarly, our non-GAAP 
core tangible efficiency ratio over that period improved 
from 75% to 60%. 

The efficiency improvement in 2016 compared to 2015 
was even more pronounced, as total revenues climbed 
$75  million,  or  9%,  while  total  expenses  declined  $4 
million, or less than 1%. Throughout 2016, the quarterly 
efficiency ratio fluctuated between 61% and 71%, while 
the  non-GAAP  core  tangible  efficiency  ratio  remained 
very stable around 60% in each of the four quarters. The 
achievement  of  our  long-term  core  tangible  efficiency 
target  of  60%  is  a  testament  to  our  corporate  expense 
discipline and the dedication and hard work of our team.

Profitability

The growth in topline revenues over the last several years 
was primarily the result of solid loan and deposit growth 
combined  with  a  fairly  stable  net  interest  margin  and 
growing and diversified sources of fee income.

In  2016,  our  total  revenues  were  $883  million,  up 
9%  compared  to  2015,  more  than  twice  the  industry’s 
growth rate. For companies such as ours, total revenues 
are simply a combination of net interest income, or the 
spread we earn between our assets and liabilities, plus 
non-interest  income,  which  is  fee  income.    In  2016 
compared  to  2015,  our  net  interest  income  increased 
$61 million, or 10%, compared to the banking industry 
growth rate of 6%. The drivers of this improvement were 
our  average  earning  assets,  which  grew  11%,  and  our 
net  interest  margin,  which  declined  two  basis  points. 
Over  this  period,  our  non-interest  (or  fee)  income 

increased  $13  million,  or  6%.  These  results  were  very 
favorable  compared  to  a  decline  of  1%  in  fee  income 
for  the  banking  industry.  Our  decline  in  expenses  of 
less than 1% compared very favorably to the industry’s 
expense growth rate of 1% year-over-year, thus showing 
our success at controlling costs during the year.

As  a  result  of  our  strong  revenue  growth  and  cost 
containment efforts, net income to common shareholders 
improved  $36  million,  or  25%,  in  2016  compared  to 
2015.  Earnings  per  common  share  on  a  fully  diluted 
basis  (“EPS”)  increased  by  17%  over  this  period,  well 
above industry results. As shown in the following charts, 
our  EPS  results  on  a  reported  and  core  basis  have 
exhibited  continuous  improvement  on  each  a  quarterly 
and  annual  basis  and  achieved  record  core  financial 
results during 2016.

Position of Strength

Strength of a financial institution can be measured in various ways, such as asset quality, balance sheet liquidity, 
capital  ratios,  ability  to  raise  external  capital  at  favorable  pricing,  depth  and  liquidity  of  trading  in  the  financial 
institution’s stock, market capitalization, earnings, sensitivity, and management. Our Company improved its position 
of strength in each of these measures during 2016. 

Asset Quality.  On the asset quality front, we successfully managed the “conveyor belt” on which our energy-related 
exposures  are  resolved.  Energy  issues  crested  in  the  second  half  of  2016,  as  evidenced  by  the  declines  in 
energy-related  non-performing  assets  (“NPAs”),  classified  and  criticized  loans,  and  quarterly  loan  loss  provision. 
Non-energy related asset quality remained very strong throughout 2016. At year-end 2016, non-energy NPAs as a 
percentage of total assets were a very healthy 48 basis points.

Balance Sheet Liquidity. Our absolute level of liquidity was never stronger than it was at year-end 2016. At that 
time, the aggregate amount of cash, cash equivalents, and unpledged securities totaled $3.4 billion, up $1.3 billion, 
or 66%, compared to one year prior.

Preferred Stock Issuance. In May 2016, we executed our second issuance and sale of preferred stock, resulting in 
$55 million in net proceeds. This security, along with our first preferred stock issuance that was sold in August 2015, 
are each traded on NASDAQ, and at year-end 2016, traded at 6% and 7% premiums to par value, respectively.

Common Stock Issuance. We also recently completed two common stock offerings, each of which was among the 
largest common stock sales in our Company’s history.  First, in December 2016, we sold approximately 3.6 million 
shares of common stock at $81.50 per common share, resulting in net proceeds of $280 million. The common 
stock offering was well-oversubscribed, was sold to investors at a price of 1.8 times tangible book value at year-end 
2016, and was favorably priced at a discount to the last trading price of only 3.5%. Second, in early March 2017, 
we closed on a common stock sale of 6.1 million common shares at $83.00 per share, at a price discount to last 
trade  of  less  than  a  1%.  This  common  stock  sale  was  also  well-oversubscribed  and  resulted  in  net  proceeds  of 
$506 million. Our ability to raise nearly $800 million in capital within 90 days at beneficial pricing is a testament 
to investors’ favorable perception of our Company and its strategic direction. Upon completion of the March 2017 
common stock sale, our market capitalization was $4.2 billion, an increase of 85% compared to $2.3 billion at 
year-end 2015. The increase in market capitalization and 48% increase in our average daily trading volume in 2016 
compared to 2015 are indicative of enhanced liquidity in our common stock and the depth of our trading market. 
The chart below shows the decline in our common stock price in the early part of 2016, followed by the significant 
increase in the following quarters of 2016.

Preparing for Our Future

The commercial banking industry is undergoing significant changes in many respects, including changes in interest 
rate  environment,  competitive  dynamics,  consolidation,  regulatory  focus,  technological  advancements,  and  client 
channel preferences, just to name a few. We believe our Company and its business model are well-suited for the 
changes that are occurring in our industry.

Rising Interest Rates. We have maintained a short-duration asset base to position us well for rising interest rates. 
At year-end 2016, a total of 56% of our loans floated with changes in interest rates and another 16% of our loans 
were fixed-rate loans that mature within one year. Our investment portfolio is of relatively short duration with limited 
extension risk.

Industry Consolidation. Our experience and favorable track record in M&A and our sizable investment in infrastructure 
provide us with the opportunity to be well-positioned for continued industry consolidation, though we remain very 
selective in our candidate selection process.

Industry Evolution. We believe we are also making the right investments to prepare us for the evolving technological 
environment and changing client preferences regarding channel usage. We operate a “branch-lite” strategy, which 
we believe provides the optimal positioning for current and future banking needs. As our client preferences change, 
we change as well. Over the last three years, our ACH and wire amounts have nearly doubled in size. In addition, as 
shown in the following chart, we are executing a significantly greater number of transactions for our clients while their 
channel preferences are evolving.

During 2016, we also worked to enhance our operational workflows and improve our client experience. For example, 
we launched a state-of-the-art mortgage origination platform, which is scalable, client focused, and supportive of our 
digital efforts. In addition, we commenced the rollout of a credit workflow system which provides a comprehensive 
management  tool  associated  with  the  loan  origination  process  for  commercial  and  business  banking  clients.  The 
benefits  of  this  new  credit  workflow  system  include  an  improved  client  experience,  gained  efficiencies,  enhanced 
mobile technology, increased client and prospect engagement, improved portfolio management, and an accelerated 
process for credit underwriting, decision making, and closing time.

We recognize the importance of preparing for change and adopting change at an appropriate pace. We believe we 
are uniquely positioned to continue to grow organically and participate in ongoing industry consolidation. The year 
2016 was an interesting year of change and opportunity. To continue to enjoy success, we must remain focused and 
stay appropriately ahead of the curve.

This Annual Report, including the Financial Review and the Financial Statements and related Notes, contains forward-looking 
statements, which may include forecasts of our financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and business, 
and our assumptions for those forecasts and expectations. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Actual results 
may differ materially from our forward-looking statements due to several factors. Factors that could cause our actual results to 
differ materially from our forward-looking statements are described in this Report, including in the “Forward-Looking 
Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections, and in the “Regulation and Supervision” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”).

When we refer to “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” in this Report, we mean IBERIABANK Corporation and Subsidiaries 
(consolidated). When we refer to the “Parent,” we mean IBERIABANK Corporation. See the Glossary of Acronyms at the end 
of this Report for terms used throughout this Report.

To the extent that statements in this Report relate to future plans, objectives, financial results or performance of the Company, 
these statements are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995. Such statements, which are based on management’s current information, estimates and assumptions and the 
current economic environment, are generally identified by use of the words “may”, “plan”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”,

mergers, the expected returns and other benefits of the proposed mergers to shareholders, expected improvement in operating 
efficiency resulting from the mergers, estimated expense reductions, the impact on and timing of the recovery of the impact on 
tangible book value, and the effect of the mergers on the Company’s capital ratios. The Company’s actual strategies and results 
in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected due to various risks and uncertainties.

Actual results could differ materially because of factors such as the level of market volatility, our ability to execute our growth 
strategy, including the availability of future bank acquisition opportunities, unanticipated losses related to the integration of, 
and refinements to purchase accounting adjustments for, acquired businesses and assets and assumed liabilities in these 
transactions, adjustments of fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities and of deferred taxes in acquisitions, actual 
results deviating from the Company’s current estimates and assumptions of timing and amounts of cash flows, credit risk of our 
customers, actual results deviating from the Company's current estimates, assumptions of timing and the amount of cash flows, 
our ability to satisfy new capital and liquidity standards such as those imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act and those adopted by the 
Basel Committee and federal banking regulators, sufficiency of our allowance for loan losses, changes in interest rates, access 
to funding sources, reliance on the services of executive management, competition for loans, deposits and investment dollars, 
reputational risk and social factors, changes in government regulations and legislation, increases in FDIC insurance 
assessments, geographic concentration of our markets and economic and business conditions in these markets, or nationally, 
including the impact of oil and gas prices, rapid changes in the financial services industry, dependence on our operational, 
technological, and organizational systems or infrastructure and those of third-party providers of those services, hurricanes and

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

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The Company is a $21.7 billion bank holding company primarily concentrated in commercial banking in the southeastern 
United States. We are shareholder and client-focused, expect high performance from our associates, believe in a strong sense of 
community, and strive to make the Company a great place to work. The Company focuses on improving long-term shareholder 
returns by setting challenging financial goals and executing on these goals even when faced with difficult economic and 
regulatory environments. The Company believes that shareholder value is created by investing in our people to ensure that we 
attract, develop, and retain talented team members, providing exceptional products and services to our customers in order to 
grow our high-quality client base, and improving the efficiency of our operations through expense reduction and revenue 
enhancement opportunities. Our Company has a growth strategy that includes both organic growth and growth through 
acquisitions and we have successfully executed this strategy over the last decade.  We are mindful of the risks associated with 
growth and we recognize that a robust risk management process is essential to enhance and protect shareholder value.  The 
Company continues to invest in a comprehensive risk management structure to stay ahead of potential threats and challenges, 
appropriately balancing risk with profitability and ensuring that our strategic goals deliver the intended results.

2016 Financial Performance

In 2016, the Company saw the full benefit from the prior year acquisitions, growing net revenues by $74.9 million, or 9%, 
while also successfully containing expenses, which declined $3.6 million, or 1%, compared to 2015.  We have grown our 
balance sheet organically in 2016 by $2.2 billion, or 11%, to $21.7 billion, which included loan growth of $737.5 million, or 
5%, and deposit growth of $1.2 billion, or 8%.  Our expansion and subsequent growth into new market areas through prior 
period acquisitions has helped us diversify and manage our credit risk exposure.  We have strengthened our liquidity and capital 
positions and have seen some downward pressure on net interest margin as a result, but expect that deployment of excess 
liquidity and capital in 2017 into higher yielding assets will subsequently improve our profitability metrics.  See the "2017 
Outlook" section below for further discussion. 

 Highlights of the Company’s performance in 2016 include:

•  Diluted EPS (GAAP) of $4.30, up 17% from $3.68 in 2015, and core diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $4.43 compared to 

core diluted EPS of $4.18 in 2015 (see Table 32 for reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures).

•  Net interest income of $649.2 million, up 10% from $587.8 million in 2015, and net interest margin on a taxable 

equivalent basis of 3.53%, compared to 3.55% in 2015.

•  Non-interest income of $233.8 million, up 6% from $220.4 million in 2015.

•  Non-interest expense of $566.7 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 1%, from 2015.

•  Efficiency ratio of 64.2%, an improvement of 640 basis points, from 70.6% in 2015, and core tangible efficiency ratio 

(non-GAAP) of 60.2%, compared to 64.5% in 2015.

•  Return on average assets of 0.92% and core return on average assets (non-GAAP) of 0.95%, an increase of 14 basis 

points and 7 basis points, respectively, compared to 2015.

•  Net income of $186.8 million, up 31% from $142.8 million in 2015, and net income available to common 

shareholders of $178.8 million, up 25% over 2015.

•  Total loan growth of $737.5 million, or 5%, including intentional risk-related reductions of approximately $355 
million in 2016 in the energy portfolio, energy-related markets, and indirect automobile lending business ($797 
million cumulative reduction since the start of the "risk-off trade" at the beginning of 2015). Energy-related loans were 
3.7% of total loans at December 31, 2016.

•  Net charge-off ratio of 0.23% of average loans, an increase over 2015's ratio of 0.08% of average loans, as many of the 
Company's energy-related problem credits have moved through a cycle of deterioration and resolution, as expected. 
Excluding the energy portfolio, net charge-offs were 0.12% of average non-energy-related loans. Provision expense 
was $44.4 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 44%, over 2015.

(cid:21)(cid:19)

•  Net deposit growth of $1.2 billion, or 8%, including non-interest bearing deposit growth of $576.6 million, or 13%. 

• 

• 

Issued non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, raising $55.3 million in net proceeds, and issued approximately 3.6 
million shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $279.2 million, further strengthening our capital position.  
The Company's total risk-based capital ratio increased to 14.13% at December 31, 2016, from 12.17% at December 
31, 2015 and IBERIABANK met the requirements to be categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory 
framework for prompt corrective action at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Successfully terminated all loss share agreements associated with FDIC-assisted acquisitions. As a result of
this action, the Company recorded a $17.8 million pre-tax charge during the fourth quarter of 2016 to write-off the 
balance of the FDIC loss share receivable, and will benefit from all future recoveries and be responsible for all future 
losses and expenses related to the assets previously subject to these agreements.

2017 Outlook

The Company's long-term financial goals are as follows:

•  Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 13% to 17% (core basis);

•  Core Tangible Efficiency Ratio of less than 60%; and

•  Legacy Asset Quality in the top 10% of our peers.

Our strong liquidity and capital positions will be both our greatest opportunity and challenge in 2017 as our margin 
improvement will be dependent on our ability to deploy that excess liquidity and capital into higher yielding assets. In addition, 
continued improvement in credit quality will be instrumental to a successful 2017.

Management's expectations for the Company in 2017 include the following:

•  Consolidated loan growth in the high-single digit range, including growth from our recent expansion into the South 

Carolina market; 

•  Easing of the risk-off trade, reducing barriers to loan growth;   

•  Deposit growth in the mid-single digit range;

• 

Improvement in net interest margin as excess liquidity is deployed into higher yielding assets (timing of the reduction 
in excess liquidity is the most important factor on the overall margin level for the year);   

• 

Improvement in consolidated credit metrics;

•  Decline in provision expense from 2016 as credit conditions within the energy portfolio continue to improve;

(cid:21)(cid:20)

• 

Slight increase in non-interest income as declines in the mortgage business are offset by other non-interest income 
categories;

•  Continued cost containment efforts on non-interest expense to reach our goal of a sustained core tangible efficiency 

ratio below 60%;

•  Effective tax rate of approximately 34%;

•  EPS will continue to be pressured until excess liquidity and capital are deployed into higher yielding assets (i.e., 

currently excess liquidity and capital are earning the Fed Funds rate); and

•  Realization of the full benefit from our modeled asset sensitive position if interest rates move higher (i.e., we believe 
the next 25 basis point Fed Funds rate increase will result in approximately 5 cents of favorable quarterly EPS impact 
in the full quarter post the raise).

(cid:21)(cid:21)

Significant Transactions

While there were no acquisitions in 2016, the Company saw the full benefit from the prior year acquisitions, growing revenues 
by $74.9 million, or 9%, while also successfully containing expenses, which declined $3.6 million, or 1%, compared to 2015.  
The balance sheet grew in 2016 by $2.2 billion, or 11%, to $21.7 billion, which included loan growth of $737.5 million, or 5%, 
and deposit growth of $1.2 billion, or 8%.  The Company will continue to execute its growth strategy, both organically and 
through strategically sound acquisitions. Recently, the Company announced plans to expand into Greenville, South Carolina 
with the addition of a Regional President for that market.

2015 Acquisitions

For over a decade, the Company has executed targeted acquisitions that were a strong strategic fit for the Company and 
provided additional value to existing shareholders. These acquisitions have provided significant growth and allowed for 
geographic, industry, and product diversification. In 2015, the Company further diversified its business, expanding its presence 
in Florida and Georgia through the acquisitions of Florida Bank Group on February 28, 2015, Old Florida on March 31, 2015, 
and Georgia Commerce on May 31, 2015. 

The acquired assets and liabilities are presented in Note 3, Acquisition Activity, to the consolidated financial statements. The 
following table is a summary of the Company's acquisition activity over the past five years:

Termination of loss share agreements with the FDIC

In conjunction with the acquisitions of certain assets and liabilities of six failed banks between 2009 and 2011, as well as the 
acquisition of Georgia Commerce in 2015, the Company entered into or assumed arrangements with the FDIC that obligated 
the FDIC to reimburse the Company for losses on certain loans associated with the FDIC-assisted transactions.

Effective December 20, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the Company’s loss share 
agreements ahead of their contractual maturities. Under the terms of the agreement, all rights and obligations of the Company 
and the FDIC have been resolved and completed.  The Company received a net payment of $6.5 million from the FDIC as 
consideration for termination of the loss share agreements and subsequently derecognized the remaining FDIC indemnification 
asset and associated assets and liabilities, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $17.8 million.  The Company will benefit from all future 
recoveries, and be responsible for all future losses and expenses related to the assets previously subject to the loss share 
agreements.

Capital transactions

On May 9, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,300,000 depositary shares (the “Series C Depositary Shares”), each 
representing a 1/400th ownership interest in a share of the Company’s 6.60% Fixed-to-Floating Non-Cumulative Perpetual 
Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $1.00 per share, (“Series C Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation preference of $10,000 per 
share of Series C Preferred Stock (equivalent to $25 per depositary share), which represents $57,500,000 in aggregate 
liquidation preference. Net proceeds from the offering, after deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions, and direct 
issuance costs were $55.3 million.

(cid:21)(cid:22)

On December 7, 2016, the Company issued an additional 3,593,750 shares of its common stock at a price of $81.50 per 
common share. Net proceeds from the offering totaled $279.2 million.

The Company’s net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $178.8 million, or 
$4.30 per diluted share, compared to $142.8 million, or $3.68 per diluted share, for 2015. Key components of the Company’s 
2016 performance are summarized below.

•  Net interest income increased $61.5 million, or 10%, in 2016 when compared to 2015, a result of a $70.1 million, or 11%, 
increase in interest and dividend income partially offset by a $8.6 million, or 15%, increase in interest expense. Net 
interest income increases for 2016 are the result of a $1.8 billion increase in average earning assets offset by a one basis 
point decrease in average yield on earning assets, a $903.5 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, and a 
three basis point increase in funding costs when compared to 2015. Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis 
decreased two basis points to 3.53% from 3.55% when comparing the periods, largely due to excess liquidity, as well as 
excess capital currently invested in lower yielding cash and securities.

•  The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $44.4 million in 2016, $13.5 million higher than the provision 

recorded in 2015. The increase in the provision was due primarily to the deterioration in credit quality in energy-related 
loans, which accounted for almost 50% of the Company's net charge-offs in 2016, and to a lesser extent, legacy loan 
growth ($1.5 billion, or 13%, growth since December 31, 2015). Net charge-offs were $33.8 million, or 0.23%, of average 
loans in 2016, compared to $10.9 million, or 0.08%, in 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the total allowance for loan 
losses as a percent of total loans was 0.96% compared to 0.97% at December 31, 2015.

•  Non-interest income increased $13.4 million, or 6%, when compared to 2015, a result of a $3.2 million increase in 

mortgage income, a $1.9 million increase in service charges, and a $1.5 million increase in credit card and merchant 
related income. All other non-interest income categories also increased $9.7 million primarily due to increases in client 
derivatives income, SBA loan income, and COLI income. These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease 
in broker commissions.

•  Non-interest expense decreased $3.6 million, or 1% in 2016. The primary reason for this decrease is the direct merger-
related and severance expenses incurred during 2015 resulting from the Company's three 2015 acquisitions, which was 
partially offset by a $17.8 million loss incurred to terminate the Company's loss share agreements with the FDIC in 
December of 2016.

•  The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 per common share in the third and fourth quarters of 2016 and a 

quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per common share in the first and second quarters of 2016, resulting in dividends of 
$1.40 for the year-to-date period compared to $1.36 in the prior year.  The common stock dividend payout ratio was 
32.9% in 2016, compared to 38.5% in 2015.

•  Total assets at December 31, 2016 were $21.7 billion, up $2.2 billion, or 11%, from December 31, 2015. Total loan 

growth of $737.5 million across many of the Company’s markets and a $851.9 million increase in total cash and cash 
equivalents drove the increase in total assets. The increase in total cash and cash equivalents was attributable to increased 

(cid:21)(cid:25)

deposits and capital raised from the common stock issuance during 2016. The excess liquidity and excess capital is 
currently invested in cash equivalents until it is deployed into higher yielding assets.

•  Total loans net of unearned income at December 31, 2016 were $15.1 billion, an increase of $737.5 million, or 5%, from 

December 31, 2015. Loan growth during 2016 was driven by a $1.5 billion, or 13%, increase in legacy loans and a $766.9 
million, or 24%, decrease in acquired loans.

•  Total deposits increased $1.2 billion, or 8%, to $17.4 billion at December 31, 2016. Non-interest-bearing deposits 

increased $576.6 million, or 13%, while interest-bearing deposits increased $652.9 million, or 6%. The year-over-year 
growth in deposits is the result of the continued strengthening of legacy client relationships, deeper expansion into 
markets from prior year acquisitions, and normal deposit campaigns. The Company's deposit balances generally increase 
at the end of each year due to real estate tax collections by our municipal customers. These balances typically remain on 
deposit with the Company for 45 to 60 days. Given the short-term nature of these seasonal funds, the deposit balances tied 
to these seasonal flows are held in liquid investments until they are withdrawn from the Company. The Company 
currently expects total deposits to decline during the first half of 2017.

• 

Shareholders’ equity increased $440.9 million, or 18% from year-end 2015. The increase was driven by the issuances of 
common stock and non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock in 2016, resulting in net proceeds of $279.2 million and 
$55.3 million, respectively. In addition, undistributed net income of $119.9 million also contributed to the increase in 
shareholders' equity. These increases were partially offset by a $24.5 million decrease in accumulated other 
comprehensive income (net of tax), a result of the change in the net unrealized holding gain in the Company’s available 
for sale investment portfolio at the end of 2016.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In preparing the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, management is required to apply significant 
judgment to various accounting, reporting, and disclosure matters. The accounting principles and methods used by the 
Company conform to GAAP and general banking accounting practices. The estimates and assumptions most significant to 
the Company are summarized in the following discussion and are further analyzed in the notes to the consolidated financial 
statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses has two components, the allowance for loan losses (contra asset) and the reserve for 
unfunded commitments (liability). Further, the allowance for loan losses consists of (i) probable incurred credit losses for 
legacy and acquired non-impaired loans and (ii) expected losses on acquired impaired loans.

Allowances for Legacy and Acquired Non-Impaired Loans

The legacy and acquired non-impaired ACL, which represent management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the 
Company’s legacy and acquired non-impaired loan portfolios, involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. The 
Company’s policy is to establish reserves through provisions for credit losses on the consolidated statements of 
comprehensive income for estimated losses on delinquent and other problem loans, as well as loans which have not yet 
explicitly exhibited factors indicating credit weakness, when it is determined that losses have been incurred on such loans. 
Management’s determination of the appropriateness of the legacy and acquired non-impaired ACL is based on various factors 
requiring judgments and estimates, including management’s evaluation of the credit quality of the portfolio (determined 
through the assignment of risk ratings, assessments of past due status, and scores from credit agencies), historical loss 
experience, current economic conditions, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, composition of the 
portfolio, the amount of the Company’s classified assets, seasoning of the loan portfolio, the status of past due principal and 
interest payments, value of collateral, the ability to monetize guarantor support and other relevant factors. Estimates in which 
management exercises significant judgment are the assessments of risk ratings, collateral values, projected principal and 
interest cash flows and guarantor support on the Company’s commercial loan portfolio and the application of qualitative 
adjustments to the quantitative measurements across all portfolios. Other changes in estimates included in the estimation of 
the ACL may also have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of the ACL, see 
Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losses, to the consolidated financial 
statements.

(cid:21)(cid:26)

Accounting for Acquired Impaired Loans and the Allowance for Acquired Impaired Loans

The Company accounts for its acquisitions under ASC Topic No. 805, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the 
acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, all acquired loans are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date applying 
the fair value methodology prescribed in ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurement. No ACL related to the acquired loans 
is recorded on the acquisition date, as the fair value of the loans acquired incorporates assumptions regarding credit risk. The 
fair value measurements include estimates related to market interest rates and projections of future cash flows that incorporate 
expectations of prepayments and the amount and timing of principal, interest and other cash flows, as well as any shortfalls 
thereof.

Acquired loans are evaluated at acquisition and classified as purchased impaired (“acquired impaired”) or purchased non- 
impaired (“acquired non-impaired”). Purchased impaired loans exhibit (in management’s judgment) credit deterioration since 
origination to the extent that it is probable at the time of acquisition that the Company will be unable to collect all 
contractually required payments, and includes all covered loans. All other acquired loans are classified as purchased non-
impaired.

Over the life of the purchased impaired loans, the Company continues to estimate the amount and timing of cash flows   
expected to be collected on individual loans or on pools of loans sharing common risk characteristics. These expected cash 
flow estimates are updated for new information on a quarterly basis. Once cash flow estimates are updated, the Company 
evaluates whether the present value of these cash flows, determined using effective interest rates, have decreased and if so, 
recognizes provisions for credit losses in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For increases in cash flows 
expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the 
respective loan’s or pool’s remaining life.

Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Purchase Accounting Adjustments

As previously mentioned, the Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, Business 
Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the Company is required to 
record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, at their respective fair values, which 
in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on 
discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. The determination of the useful lives of intangible assets is 
subjective, as is the appropriate amortization method for such intangible assets. In addition, business combinations typically 
result in recording goodwill.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs a goodwill evaluation at least annually 
or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less 
than its respective carrying amount. For the annual October 1, 2016 impairment evaluation, management elected to bypass the 
qualitative assessment for each respective reporting unit (IBERIABANK, IMC, and LTC) and performed Step 1 of the 
goodwill impairment test. Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each 
reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Accordingly, the Company determined the fair value of each 
reporting unit and compared the fair value to each respective reporting unit’s carrying amount. The Company determined that 
none of the reporting units’ fair values were below their respective carrying amounts. The Company concluded goodwill was 
not impaired as of October 1, 2016. Further, no events or changes in circumstances between October 1, 2016 and December 
31, 2016 indicated that it was more likely than not the fair value of any reporting unit had been reduced below its carrying 
value.

Based on the testing performed in 2016 and 2015, management concluded that for the IBERIABANK, IMC, and LTC 
reporting units, goodwill was not impaired at any time during those periods.

Goodwill impairment evaluations require management to utilize significant judgments and assumptions including, but not 
limited to, the general economic environment and banking industry, reporting unit future performance (i.e., forecasts), events 
or circumstances affecting a respective reporting unit (e.g., interest rate environment), and changes in the Company stock 
price, amongst other relevant factors. Management’s judgments and assumptions are based on the best information available 
at the time. Results could vary in subsequent reporting periods if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions utilized 
in completing the evaluations.

For additional information on goodwill and intangible assets, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and 
Note 10, Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

In the ordinary course of business, we conduct transactions in various taxing jurisdictions (Federal, state, and local) that are 
subject to complex income tax laws and regulations, which may differ by jurisdiction. The Company is often required to 
exercise significant judgment regarding the interpretation of these tax laws and regulations, in which the Company’s anticipated 
and actual liability could significantly vary based upon the taxing authority’s interpretation. Adjustments to current, accrued,          
or deferred taxes may occur due to modifications in tax rates, newly enacted laws, resolution of items with taxing authorities, 
alterations to interpretative statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance that affects the Company’s tax positions, or other facts 
and circumstances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported income available to common shareholders of $178.8 million, $142.8 million, and $105.4 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. EPS on a diluted basis was $4.30 for 2016, $3.68 for 2015, and 
$3.30 for 2014.

The following discussion provides additional information on the Company’s operating results for the years ended December 31, 
2016, 2015, and 2014, segregated by major income statement caption.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest realized on earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities 
and is also the largest driver of core earnings. As such, it is subject to constant scrutiny by management. The rate of return and 
relative risk associated with earning assets are weighed to determine the appropriateness and mix of earning assets. 
Additionally, the need for lower cost funding sources is weighed against relationships with clients and future growth 
opportunities. The Company’s net interest spread, which is the difference between the yields earned on average earning assets 
and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.37%, 3.41%, and 3.40%, during the years ended December 31, 
2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The Company’s net interest margin on a taxable equivalent (“TE”) basis, which is net 
interest income (TE) as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.53%, 3.55%, and 3.51%, respectively, for the same 
periods.

(cid:21)(cid:28)

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from earning assets and the 
resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average 
rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest spread; and (v) net interest margin. Information is based on average daily 
balances during the indicated periods. Investment security market value adjustments and trade-date accounting adjustments are 
not considered to be earning assets and, as such, the net effect of these adjustments is included in non-earning assets.

Total loans include non-accrual loans for all periods presented. Interest income in Table 4 above excludes approximately 
$11.9 million, $2.1 million and $1.8 million, in interest income that would have been recorded in 2016, 2015 and 2014, 
respectively, if non-accrual loans (excluding acquired impaired loans) had been current in accordance with their 
contractual terms.
Interest income includes loan fees of $2.9 million, $2.8 million, and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 
2015, and 2014, respectively.
Taxable equivalent yields are calculated using a rate of 35%, which approximates the marginal tax rate.

(cid:22)(cid:19)

Net interest income increased $61.5 million, or 10%, to $649.2 million in 2016 when compared to 2015. The increase in net 
interest income for 2016 is the result of a $1.8 billion increase in average earning assets offset by a one basis point decrease in 
average yield on earning assets, a $903.5 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, and a three basis point increase 
in funding costs when compared to 2015. Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased two basis points to 3.53% 
from 3.55% when comparing the periods, largely due to excess liquidity, as well as excess capital currently invested in lower 
yielding cash and securities.

Average loans made up 79% and 80% of average earning assets in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Average loans increased $1.4 
billion, or 10%, in 2016 as a result of the growth in the commercial legacy loan portfolio. Investment securities made up 16% 
of average earning assets in both 2016 and 2015.

Average interest-bearing deposits made up 90% of average interest-bearing liabilities during 2016, compared to 93% during 
2015. Average short-term borrowings made up 5% and 4% of average interest-bearing liabilities in 2016 and 2015, respectively. 
Average long-term debt made up 5% and 3% of average interest-bearing liabilities in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

acquired portfolios, for the periods indicated.

The following table displays the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of 
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The table distinguishes between (i) changes attributable to volume (changes in 
average volume between periods times the average yield/rate for the two periods), (ii) changes attributable to rate (changes in 
average rate between periods times the average volume for the two periods), and (iii) total increase (decrease). Changes 
attributable to both volume and rate are allocated ratably between the volume and rate categories.

The change attributable to days reflects the impact of 366 days in 2016 versus 365 days in 2015 and 2014, and in which 
the actual number of days impacts the yield calculation based on the respective accrual methods.

2016 vs. 2015

The $70.1 million increase in interest income in 2016 was largely driven by an increase in earning asset volume compared to 
2015. Average loan balances increased $1.4 billion, or 10%, over 2015 due to a $1.6 billion, or 15%, increase in legacy loans 
largely driven by commercial loan growth. The declining balance of the FDIC loss share receivable and related amortization 
also contributed to a $7.5 million increase in interest income. The Company terminated all FDIC loss share receivables in 
December of 2016.

During 2016, interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $8.6 million, or 15%, partially due to a $4.5 million, or 
10%, increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits. Growth of $487.3 million in the average balance of interest-
bearing deposits and a two basis point increase in the rate paid during 2016 drove the increase in interest expense on interest-
bearing deposits. In addition, interest expense on the Company’s borrowings also increased $4.1 million in 2016 as a result of 
an increase in average long-term debt of $228.1 million and an increase in average short-term debt of $188.1 million.

2015 vs. 2014

For the year ended December 31, 2015, earning asset volume, both for acquired earning assets and organic growth, drove the 
$142.0 million increase in interest income. Average loan balances increased $2.8 billion, or 27%, over 2014 and can be 
attributed to legacy loan growth, as well as loans acquired from Florida Bank Group, Old Florida, and Georgia Commerce. The 

(cid:22)(cid:21)

declining balance of the FDIC loss share receivable and related amortization also contributed $51.1 million to the increase in 
interest income.

Between 2014 and 2015, interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $14.4 million, or 32%, primarily due to a 
$14.0 million, or 42%, increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest expense on interest-
bearing deposits in 2015 included growth of $2.4 billion in the average balance and a four basis point increase in the rate paid 
on interest-bearing deposits compared to 2014. Interest expense on the Company's borrowings increased $0.4 million as a result 
of an increase in average long-term debt of $53.0 million when compared to 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management of the Company formally assesses the ACL quarterly and will make provisions for loan losses and unfunded 
lending commitments as necessary in order to maintain the appropriateness of the ACL at the balance sheet date. The provision 
for loan losses exceeded net charge-offs by $10.6 million and $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 
December 31, 2015, respectively.

2016 vs. 2015

On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 
2016, a $13.5 million increase from the provision recorded for the same period of 2015. The Company also recorded a reversal 
of provision for unfunded lending commitments of $2.9 million during the current year, which is recorded in "credit and other 
loan-related expense" in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As a result, the Company’s total 
provision for credit losses was $41.5 million in 2016, which is $8.3 million, or 25%, above the provision recorded in 2015. The 
Company’s total provision for loan losses in 2016 was largely due to a $44.8 million provision recorded on legacy loans 
resulting primarily from the downward migration of energy-related credits, due to general energy sector weakness, as well as 
legacy loan growth of $1.5 billion, or 13%. Net charge-offs to average loans in the legacy portfolio were 0.28% as of December 
31, 2016, compared to 0.10% as of December 31, 2015. Excluding energy-related loans and charge-offs, legacy net charge-offs 
to average loans were 0.15% in 2016.

2015 vs. 2014

On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $30.9 million for the year ended December 31, 
2015, an $11.8 million increase from the provision recorded for the same period of 2014. The Company also recorded a 
provision for unfunded lending commitments of $2.3 million during 2015. As a result, the Company’s total provision for credit 
losses was $33.2 million in 2015, which is $13.5 million, or 69%, above the provision recorded in 2014. The Company’s total 
provision for loan losses in 2015 included a provision for changes in expected cash flows on the acquired loan portfolios of 
$3.2 million and a $27.7 million provision recorded on legacy loans. The increase in provision was due primarily to legacy loan 
growth of $1.5 billion, or 16%, from December 31, 2014, as well as higher net loan charge-offs and general energy sector 
weakness.  Net charge-offs to average loans in the legacy portfolio were 0.10% as of December 31, 2015, compared to 0.06% 
as of December 31, 2014.

Refer to the "Asset Quality" section of MD&A and Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losses, to the consolidated financial 
statements for additional information.

Non-interest Income

The Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2016 included non-interest income of $233.8 million 
compared to $220.4 million and $173.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in 
non-interest income from 2015 to 2016 was primarily a result of increases in mortgage income and other non-interest income, 
partially offset by a decrease in broker commissions. Non-interest income as a percentage of total gross revenue (defined as 
total interest and non-interest income) was 25% in both 2016 and 2015.

2016 vs. 2015

After record levels of mortgage production in 2015, mortgage income increased by $3.2 million in 2016. The increase in 
mortgage income was primarily attributable to a $5.3 million increase in gains on sales and increases in servicing and other 
income offset by a more unfavorable derivative valuation adjustment of $2.5 million. The Company originated $2.5 billion in 
mortgage loans in 2016, down $4.6 million from 2015. The Company sold $2.5 billion in mortgage loans in 2016, up $23.7 
million from 2015. In addition to the slight increase in sales volume, margin on sales was up 26 basis points in 2016 over 2015.

Other non-interest income increased $7.9 million, or 41%, in 2016, which included a $4.7 million, or 113%, increase in client 
derivatives income, a $0.9 million, or 69%, increase in business banking loan income, as well as a $1.3 million, or 239% 
increase in income from COLI assets (which is more than offset by an increase in salaries and benefits expense within non-
interest expense). These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million, or 13%, decrease in broker commissions and a $0.6 
million, or 3%, decrease in title revenue. 

2015 vs. 2014

In 2015, strong mortgage production and sales resulted in a $28.9 million increase in mortgage income compared to 2014. The 
Company originated $2.5 billion in mortgage loans in 2015, up $789.1 million, or 47% from 2014. The Company sold $2.5 
billion in mortgage loans, up $799.1 million from 2014. Derivative valuation adjustments were more favorable in 2015 than 
2014 by $5.3 million.

Other fluctuations in non-interest income from 2014 to 2015 included increases in service charges, title revenue, and ATM/
debit card fee income offset partially by decreases in broker commissions and BOLI income. Other non-interest income 
increased $6.6 million, or 51%, in 2015 due to increases in commission income, gains on sales of fixed assets, and other 
commercial loan income.

Non-interest Expense

The Company’s results for 2016 included non-interest expense of $566.7 million, a decrease of $3.6 million from 2015. The 
primary reason for this decrease is the direct merger-related and severance expenses incurred during 2015 resulting from the 
Company's three 2015 acquisitions, partially offset by the $17.8 million loss incurred to terminate the Company's loss share 
agreements with the FDIC in December of 2016. Additionally, ongoing attention to expense control is part of the Company’s 
corporate culture. For the year, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 64.2%, compared to 70.6% in 2015.

Data processing decreased $9.3 million, or 27%, from 2015, largely due to merger-related conversion expenses from the 
Company's three 2015 acquisitions. Credit and other loan-related expense decreased $5.7 million, or 34%, from 2015, primarily 
as a result of a decrease in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments due to a risk shift from higher-risk energy-related 
commitments, which have decreased as these lines have funded or been curtailed, to lower-risk unfunded commitments. Net 
occupancy and equipment expense decreased $2.7 million, or 4%, compared to 2015, mostly due to decreases of $1.5 million in 
depreciation expense, as well as decreases in equipment rental, insurance, and utilities expenses. Other fluctuations are largely 
due to acquisition and merger-related expenses incurred in 2015, none of which the Company incurred in 2016 as there were no 
acquisitions in the current year.

The decreases in 2016 were offset by a pre-tax loss of $17.8 million incurred to terminate the Company's loss share agreements 
with the FDIC ahead of their contractual maturities in December of 2016. The decreases in 2016 were also offset by a $9.1 
million, or 3%, increase in salaries and employee benefits expense mostly due to a $6.0 million increase in commissions and 
incentives in 2016. The Company had 3,100 full-time equivalent employees at the end of 2016, a decrease of 51, or 2%, from 
2015. 

2015 vs. 2014

In 2015, net occupancy and equipment expenses were up $9.0 million from 2014, primarily due to additional growth from 
acquisitions in 2015, as the Company incurred security equipment monitoring costs, and increased rent expense and 
depreciation from additional branches. Data processing increased $7.2 million in 2015, primarily due to increases in merger-
related computer services expense of $4.0 million, as well as the increased costs of strengthening the Company's cybersecurity. 
Due to the continued growth of the Company, professional services expense in 2015 was $3.4 million higher than in 2014. The 
$2.9 million, or 7%, increase in other non-interest expense in 2015 was primarily due to increases in ATM/debit card expense 
(due to a higher volume of ATM/debit card transactions) and deposit insurance expense (due to deposit growth).

Salaries and employee benefits increased $63.5 million in 2015, primarily the result of increased staffing due to the growth of 
the Company, specifically from the three completed acquisitions during 2015. The Company had 3,151 full-time equivalent 
employees at the end of 2015, an increase of 394, or 14%, from 2014. The Company also had an increase of $8.8 million in 
commissions and incentives and $6.6 million increase in phantom stock expense for grants in 2015 that contributed to the 
overall increase in salaries and employee benefits.

(cid:22)(cid:24)

Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $85.2 million, $64.1 
million, and $35.7 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 31.3% in 2016, 31.0% in 2015, and 
25.3% in 2014.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal and state tax rates relates to items that are non-taxable or 
non-deductible, primarily the effect of tax-exempt income and various tax credits. The effective tax rates in 2016 and 2015 
have increased primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income without a corresponding proportional increase in tax credits.  In 
addition, the effective tax rate has been negatively impacted by the post-merger effect of the 2015 acquisitions, which 
contributed to the increase in the Company's state effective tax rate given the higher statutory tax rates in Florida and Georgia.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

EARNING ASSETS

Interest income associated with earning assets is the Company’s primary source of income. Earning assets are composed of 
interest-earning or dividend-earning assets, including loans, securities, short-term investments, and loans held for sale. Earning 
assets increased $2.2 billion, or 12%, during 2016. Major components of earning assets at December 31 are shown in the

The following discussion highlights the Company’s major categories of earning assets.

Loans

The Company had total loans of approximately $15.1 billion at December 31, 2016, an increase of $737.5 million, or 5%, from 
December 31, 2015. Legacy loans increased $1.5 billion, or 13%, to $12.7 billion at December 31, 2016, while acquired loans 
decreased $766.9 million, or 24%, to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2016. The growth in the legacy portfolio included increases 
in commercial loans of $1.2 billion, or 15%, consumer loans of $100.2 million, or 4%, and mortgage loans of $160.2 million, 
or 23%, over December 31, 2015 balances. With no additional acquisitions during 2016, the acquired portfolio decreased as 
pay-downs and pay-offs occurred. In addition, acquired loans are transferred to the legacy portfolio as they are refinanced, 
renewed, restructured, or otherwise underwritten to the Company's standards.

Commercial Loans

Total commercial loans increased $707.7 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2015, with $1.2 billion, or 15%, in legacy loan 
growth and a decrease in acquired commercial loans of $536.3 million, or 26%. The Company continued to attract and retain 
commercial customers in 2016 as commercial loans were 73% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2016, compared to 
71% at December 31, 2015. Unfunded commitments on commercial loans including approved loan commitments not yet 
funded were $4.0 billion at December 31, 2016, an increase of $489.7 million, or 14%, when compared to the end of the prior 
year.

Commercial real estate loans include loans to commercial customers for long-term financing of land and buildings or for land 
development or construction of a building. The commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of approximately 39% owner-
occupied and 61% non-owner-occupied loans as of December 31, 2016. These loans are repaid from revenues through 
operations of the businesses, rents of properties, sales of properties and refinances. Commercial real estate loans increased 
$728.8 million, or 12%, during the year, consisting of increases in legacy commercial real estate loans of $1.1 billion, or 25%, 
offset by decreases in acquired commercial real estate loans of $390.5 million, or 25%. At December 31, 2016, commercial real 
estate loans totaled $6.8 billion, or 45% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 42% at December 31, 2015. The Company’s 
underwriting standards generally provide for loan terms of three to seven years, with amortization schedules of generally no 
more than twenty-five years. Low loan-to-value ratios are generally maintained and usually limited to no more than 80% at the 
time of origination. 

Commercial and industrial loans represent loans to commercial customers to finance general working capital needs, equipment 
purchases and other projects where repayment is derived from cash flows resulting from business operations. The Company 
originates commercial business loans on a secured and, to a lesser extent, unsecured basis. The Company’s commercial 
business loans may be term loans or revolving lines of credit. Term loans are generally structured with terms of no more than 
three to seven years, with amortization schedules of generally no more than fifteen years. Commercial business term loans are 
generally secured by equipment, machinery or other corporate assets. The Company also provides for revolving lines of credit 
generally structured as advances upon perfected security interests in accounts receivable and inventory. Revolving lines of 
credit generally have annual maturities. The Company obtains personal guarantees of the principals as additional security for 
most commercial business loans. As of December 31, 2016, commercial and industrial loans totaled $3.5 billion, or 24% of the 
total loan portfolio. This represents a $98.5 million, or 3%, increase from December 31, 2015.

The following table details the Company’s commercial loans by state.

Energy-related Loans

The Company’s loan portfolio included energy-related loans of $561.2 million at December 31, 2016, or 4% of total loans, 
compared to $680.8 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $119.6 million, or 18%. At December 31, 2016, exploration 
and production (“E&P”) loans accounted for 52% of energy-related loans and 56% of energy-related commitments. Midstream 
companies accounted for 16% of energy-related loans and 19% of energy loan commitments, while service company loans 
totaled 32% of energy-related loans and 25% of energy commitments.

The rapid and sustained decline in energy commodity prices that began in 2014 and culminated in early 2016 appears to be 
slowly recovering.  The financial condition of businesses and communities tied to the oil and gas industries remains unsettled. 
While the vast majority of the Company's loan portfolio continues to have no exposure to these concerns, we took actions to 

(cid:22)(cid:27)

mitigate the risks in the weakened economic environment by employing a risk-off strategy, reducing or exiting exposures in our 
highest risk credits and strengthening certain underwriting standards.

During 2016, many of the Company's criticized (defined as special mention or worse) energy credits deteriorated and cycled 
through resolution, as expected. Management has been closely monitoring these loans since the decline in commodities prices 
in 2014.  Although the level of criticized loans has significantly increased, the underlying collateral for these credits indicate no 
increased risk of loss has occurred in 2016.  In late 2016, energy prices increased as compared to early 2016 and have shown 
some stabilization, and the Company expects that prices will remain stable or rise in the foreseeable future.  The Company's 
historical focus on sound client selection, conservative credit underwriting, proactive portfolio management, and market and 
business diversification continue to serve the Company well. The strategic decision to expand into other markets across the 
southeast allows the Company to drive growth and profitability to offset declining positions in impacted energy segments of 
business. Based on the composition and detailed analysis of its energy portfolio at December 31, 2016, the Company believes 
most of its energy exposure is in areas of lower credit risk; however, a deterioration in prices of energy commodities could lead 
to increased losses in future periods.

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans consist of loans to consumers to finance a primary residence. The vast majority of the residential 
mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of non-conforming 1-4 family mortgage loans secured by properties located in the 
Company's market areas and originated under terms and documentation that permit their sale in a secondary market. Larger 
mortgage loans of current and prospective private banking clients are generally retained to enhance relationships, but also tend 
to be more profitable due to the expected shorter durations and relatively lower servicing costs associated with loans of this 
size. The Company does not originate or hold high loan-to-value, negative amortization, option ARM, or other exotic mortgage 
loans in its portfolio. The Company makes insignificant investments in loans that would be considered sub-prime (e.g., loans 
with a credit score of less than 620) in order to facilitate compliance with relevant Community Reinvestment Act regulations.

Total residential mortgage loans increased $72.1 million, or 6%, compared to December 31, 2015, primarily the result of 
private banking originations.

Consumer and Other Loans

The Company offers consumer loans in order to provide a full range of retail financial services to customers in the communities 
in which it operates. The Company originates substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary market areas. At 
December 31, 2016, $2.9 billion, or 19%, of the total loan portfolio was comprised of consumer loans, compared to $2.9 
billion, or 21%, at the end of 2015. Total consumer loans at December 31, 2016 decreased $42.3 million from December 31, 
2015. Indirect automobile loans largely contributed to this decline with a decrease of $115.2 million, or 47%. In January 2015, 
the Company announced it would exit the indirect automobile lending business. The Company concluded compliance risk 
associated with these loans had become unbalanced relative to potential returns generated by the business on a risk-adjusted 
basis.

Consistent with 2015, home equity loans comprised the largest component of the consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 
2016. Home equity lending allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home and is secured by a first or second 
mortgage on the borrower’s residence. Real estate market values at the time the loan is secured affect the amount of credit 
extended. Changes in these values may impact the extent of potential losses. The balance of home equity loans increased $89.8 
million during the year to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2016. The Company’s sales and marketing efforts in 2016 have also 
contributed to the growth in legacy home equity loans since December 31, 2015. Unfunded commitments related to home 
equity loans and lines were $804.8 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $53.4 million versus the prior year. The 
Company has approximately $905.9 million of loans with junior liens where the Company does not hold or service the 
respective loan holding the senior lien. The Company believes it has appropriately reserved for these loans in its allowance for 
credit losses.

The remainder of the consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 2016 consisted of credit card loans, direct automobile loans and 
other personal loans, and comprised 4% of the total loan portfolio. 

Overall, the composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of December 31, 2016 is consistent with the composition as of 
December 31, 2015.

In order to assess the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, the Company considers the current U.S. economic environment 
and that of its primary market areas. See Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losses, to the consolidated financial statements for 
credit quality factors by loan portfolio segment.

Loan Maturities

The following table sets forth the scheduled contractual maturities of the Company’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2016, 
unadjusted for scheduled principal reductions, prepayments or repricing opportunities. Demand loans, loans having no stated 
schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and overdraft loans are reported as due in one year or less. The average life of a 
loan may be substantially less than the contractual terms because of scheduled amortization and prepayments. Of the loans with 
maturities greater than one year, approximately 80% of the balance of these loans bears a fixed rate of interest.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The Company continues to sell the majority of conforming mortgage loan originations in the secondary market rather than 
assume the interest rate risk associated with these longer term assets. Upon the sale, the Company retains servicing on a limited 
portion of these loans. Loans held for sale decreased $9.2 million, or 6%, to $157.0 million at December 31, 2016 compared to 
year-end 2015. In 2016 and 2015, the Company originated approximately $2.5 billion in mortgage loans.

Loans held for sale have primarily been fixed-rate single-family residential mortgage loans under contracts to be sold in the 
secondary market. In most cases, loans in this category are sold within thirty days of closing. Buyers generally have recourse to 
return a purchased loan to the Company under limited circumstances. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for 
further discussion.

Investment Securities

Investment securities increased by $636.1 million, or 22%, since December 31, 2015 to $3.5 billion at December 31, 2016. 
Investment securities approximated 16% and 15% of total assets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

(1) The Company elected to opt out of the requirement to include the net unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available 

for sale investment securities in regulatory capital in an effort to exclude the impact that changes in the Company's 
unrealized gains or losses on its available for sale investment portfolio may have on regulatory capital and the related capital 
ratios. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

Funds generated as a result of sales and prepayments of investment securities are used to fund loan growth and purchase other 
securities. The Company continues to monitor market conditions and take advantage of market opportunities with appropriate 
risk and return elements.

The Company assesses the nature of the unrealized losses in its investment portfolio at least quarterly to determine if there are 
losses that are deemed other-than-temporary. In its analysis of these securities, management considers numerous factors to 
determine whether there are instances where the amortized cost basis of the debt securities would not be fully recoverable 
including, the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the securities was less than their amortized cost, whether 
adverse conditions were present in the operations, geographic area or industry of the issuer, the payment structure of the 
security, including scheduled interest and principal payments, including the issuer's failures to make scheduled payments, if 
any, and the likelihood of failure to make such scheduled payments in the future, changes to the rating of the security by a 
rating agency, and subsequent recoveries or additional declines in fair value after the balance sheet date.

Management believes it has considered these factors, as well as all relevant information available, when determining the 
expected future cash flows of the securities in question. Based on its analysis, the Company concluded no declines in the 
estimated fair value of the Company’s investment securities were deemed to be other-than-temporary at December 31, 2016 and 
2015. Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements provides further information on the Company’s investment securities.

Asset Quality

The lending activities of the Company are governed by underwriting policies established by management and approved by the 
Board Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. Commercial risk personnel, in conjunction with senior lending personnel, 
underwrite the vast majority of commercial business and commercial real estate loans. The Company provides centralized 
underwriting of substantially all residential mortgage, small business and consumer loans. Established loan origination 
procedures require appropriate documentation, including financial data and credit reports. For loans secured by real property, 
the Company generally requires property appraisals, title insurance or a title opinion, hazard insurance, and flood insurance, 
where appropriate.

Loan payment performance is monitored and late charges are generally assessed on past due accounts. Delinquent and problem 
loans are administered by functional teams of specialized risk officers. Risk ratings on commercial exposures (as described 
below) are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted as necessary based on the obligor’s risk profile and debt capacity. 
The central loan review department is responsible for independently assessing and validating risk ratings assigned to 
commercial exposures through a periodic sampling process. All other loans are also subject to loan reviews through a similar 
periodic sampling process. The Company exercises judgment in determining the risk classification of its commercial loans.

The Company utilizes an asset risk classification system in accordance with guidelines established by the FRB as part of its 
efforts to monitor commercial asset quality. In connection with their examinations of insured institutions, both federal and state 

(cid:23)(cid:21)

examiners also have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, reclassify them. There are three classifications 
for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss”, all of which are considered adverse classifications. Substandard 
assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain 
some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional 
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable, and there is a high probability of loss 
based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. An asset classified as loss is considered not collectible and of such 
little value that continuance as an asset of the Company is not warranted.

In the first quarter of 2016, the banking regulatory agencies issued interpretive guidance on the valuation of collateral 
underlying E&P loans and how such valuations should impact the assessment of the inherent credit risk (and ultimately risk 
ratings and charge-offs) in such loans.  The Company's implementation of this guidance in the first quarter of 2016 contributed 
to the increase in criticized assets within the Company's energy portfolio.

Commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when any of the following occur: 1) the loan is maintained on a cash basis 
because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; 2) collection of the full contractual amount of principal or 
interest is not expected (even if the loan is currently paying as agreed);  3) when principal or interest has been in default for a 
period of 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection; or 4) the borrower has filed or 
is likely to file bankruptcy. Factors considered in determining the collection of the full contractual amount of principal or 
interest include assessment of the borrower’s cash flow, valuation of underlying collateral, and the ability and willingness of 
guarantors to provide credit support.  Certain commercial loans are also placed on non-accrual status when payment is not past 
due and full payment of principal and interest is expected, but we have doubt about the borrower’s ability to comply with 
existing repayment terms. Consideration will be given to placing a loan on non-accrual due to the deterioration of the debtor’s 
repayment ability, the repayment of the loan becoming dependent on the liquidation of collateral, an existing collateral 
deficiency, the loan being classified as "Doubtful" or "Loss", the client filing for bankruptcy, and/or foreclosure being initiated. 
Regarding all classes within the C&I and CRE portfolios, the determination of a borrower’s ability to make the required 
principal and interest payments is based on an examination of the borrower’s current financial statements, industry, 
management capabilities, and other qualitative factors.

When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest income ceases and accrued but unpaid interest is generally 
reversed against interest income.

Real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO, and is 
recorded at the lesser of the related loan balance (the pro-rata carrying value for acquired loans) or estimated fair value less 
costs to sell. Closed bank branches are also classified as OREO and recorded at the lower of cost or market value.

Under GAAP, certain loan modifications or restructurings are designated as TDRs. In general, the modification or restructuring 
of a debt constitutes a TDR if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants 
a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider under current market conditions. See Note 1, 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

(cid:23)(cid:22)

Non-performing Assets

The Company defines non-performing assets as non-accrual loans, accruing loans more than 90 days past due, OREO, and 
foreclosed property. Management continually monitors loans and transfers loans to non-accrual status when warranted.

The Company accounts for loans formerly covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, other loans acquired with 
deteriorated credit quality, as well as all loans acquired with significant discounts that did not exhibit deteriorated credit quality 
at acquisition, in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30. Collectively, all loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are referred to as 
"purchased impaired loans". Application of ASC Topic 310-30 results in significant accounting differences, compared to loans 
originated or acquired by the Company that are not accounted for under ASC 310-30. See Note 1, Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements for further details.

Due to the significant difference in accounting for purchased impaired loans, the Company believes inclusion of these loans in 
certain asset quality ratios that reflect non-performing assets in the numerator or denominator (or both) results in significant 
distortion to these ratios. In addition, because loan level charge-offs related to purchased impaired loans are not recognized in 
the financial statements until the cumulative amounts exceed the original loss projections on a pool basis, the net charge-off 
ratio for acquired loans is not consistent with the net charge-off ratio for other loan portfolios. The inclusion of these loans in 
certain asset quality ratios could result in a lack of comparability across quarters or years, and could impact comparability with 
other portfolios that were not impacted by purchased impaired loan accounting. The Company believes that the presentation of 
certain asset quality measures excluding purchased impaired loans, as indicated below, and related amounts from both the 
numerator and denominator provides better perspective into underlying trends related to the quality of its loan portfolio. 
Accordingly, the asset quality measures in the tables below present asset quality information excluding purchased impaired 
loans, as indicated within each table, and related amounts.

Total non-performing assets increased $159.7 million, or 175%, compared to December 31, 2015.

Legacy non-performing assets increased $163.9 million, or 241%, compared to December 31, 2015, as non-performing loans 
increased $171.1 million, offset by a decrease in OREO of $7.2 million. Including TDRs that are in compliance with their 
modified terms, total non-performing assets and TDRs increased $221.4 million over the past twelve months.

(cid:23)(cid:23)

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s legacy non-performing assets, including accruing loans past 
due 90 or more days and TDRs, as of December 31.

Non-performing legacy loans were 1.75% of total legacy loans at December 31, 2016, 129 basis points higher than at 
December 31, 2015. The increase in legacy non-performing loans was due primarily to an increase of $143.2 million in energy-
related non-accrual loans. The majority of the increase in energy-related non-accrual loans is comprised of 13 relationships that 
were deemed criticized in prior periods. The decline in energy prices has strained the cash flows of many energy companies. 
We believe our underwriting policies on energy are conservative and focus on obtaining strong collateral to support the 
underlying loans.  Generally, our energy loans are senior credit facilities with well-secured collateral positions, and we do not 
engage in subordinated, second lien, or mezzanine financing to energy companies.  As such, despite the increase in non-
performing energy loans, we believe the risk of loss on these loans is mitigated by the respective collateral and related reserves.

Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased over the past year primarily as a result of the challenges our 
energy-related customers faced in 2016 as previously discussed. Legacy non-performing assets were 1.20% of total legacy 
assets at December 31, 2016, 78 basis points above December 31, 2015. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-
performing legacy loans was 52.46% at December 31, 2016 compared to 209.41% at December 31, 2015. The Company’s 
allowance for credit losses as a percentage of legacy loans decreased four basis points from 2015 to 0.92% at December 31, 
2016. The Company has considered the collateral support on these non-performing assets in determining the allowance for 
credit losses.

(cid:23)(cid:24)

The Company had gross charge-offs on legacy loans of $38.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2016. Offsetting 
these charge-offs were recoveries of $5.0 million. As a result, net charge-offs on legacy loans during 2016 were $33.0 million, 
or 0.28% of average loans, as compared to net charge-offs of $10.1 million, or 0.10%, for 2015. Net charge-offs in 2016 
included $16.2 million from a limited number of energy-related relationships. 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had $319.7 million of legacy commercial assets classified as substandard, $28.9 million 
of commercial assets classified as doubtful, and no commercial assets classified as loss. Accordingly, the aggregate of the 
Company’s legacy classified commercial assets was 1.61% of total assets, 2.31% of total loans, and 2.75% of legacy loans. At 
December 31, 2015, legacy classified commercial assets totaled $144.1 million, or 0.74% of total assets, 1.01% of total loans, 
and 1.29% of legacy loans. As with non-classified assets, a reserve for credit losses has been recorded for substandard loans at 
December 31, 2016 in accordance with the Company’s allowance for credit losses policy.

In addition to the problem loans described above, there were $138.2 million of legacy commercial loans classified as special 
mention at December 31, 2016, which in management’s opinion were subject to potential future rating downgrades. Special 
mention loans are defined as loans where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes 
management to have some doubt as to the ability of these borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms, which 
may result in future disclosure of these loans as non-performing. Special mention loans at December 31, 2016 increased $33.4 
million, or 32%, from December 31, 2015. The increase was attributable to both loan growth and a general deterioration in 
credit quality, primarily as it relates to the Company's legacy energy-related loans.

As noted above, the asset quality of the Company’s energy-related loan portfolio has been impacted by sustained low 
commodity prices. At December 31, 2016, $1.5 million of energy-related loans were past due greater than 30 days. Non-accrual 
energy-related loans totaled $150.3 million at year-end 2016, compared to $8.5 million at year-end 2015. In 2016, the Company 
has experienced $16.2 million in energy-related net charge-offs. There were no energy-related charge-offs in 2015. 

Past Due and Non-accrual Loans

Past due status is based on the contractual terms of loans.  At December 31, 2016, total acquired loans past due were 0.47% of 
total acquired loans, an increase of 13 basis points from December 31, 2015. Total legacy past due loans (including non-accrual 
loans) were 1.95% of total legacy loans at December 31, 2016 compared to 0.65% at December 31, 2015. Additional 
information on past due loans is presented in the following table.

Company does not expect to receive payment in full, as the Company is currently accreting interest income over the 
expected life of the loans. 

Total past due and non-accrual loans increased $176.3 million from December 31, 2015 to $258.8 million at December 31, 
2016. The change was primarily due to an increase of $172.2 million in non-accrual loans of which $142.0 million of the 
increase was energy-related.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of probable credit losses inherent at the balance sheet 
date. Determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a high degree of complexity and requires significant judgment. 
Several factors are taken into consideration in the determination of the overall allowance for credit losses. Based on facts and 
circumstances available, management of the Company believes that the allowance for credit losses was appropriate at 
December 31, 2016 to cover probable losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. However, future adjustments to the allowance 
may be necessary, and the results of operations could be adversely affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the 
assumptions used by management in determining the allowance for credit losses. See the “Application of Critical Accounting 
Policies and Estimates”  and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements for 
more information.

The allowance for credit losses was $156.0 million at December 31, 2016, or 1.04% of total loans, $3.4 million higher than at 
December 31, 2015. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.06% at December 31, 2015.

(cid:23)(cid:27)

The allowance for credit losses on the legacy portfolio increased $8.9 million, or 8%, since December 31, 2015, primarily a 
result of deterioration in credit quality in energy-related loans, which accounted for almost 50% of the Company's net charge-
offs in 2016, and to a lesser extent, legacy loan growth ($1.5 billion, or 13%, growth since December 31, 2015). The acquired 
allowance for credit losses includes a reserve of $39.2 million for losses probable in the portfolio at December 31, 2016 above 
estimated expected credit losses at acquisition, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 12%, from December 31, 2015.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the legacy allowance for loan losses covered 47% and 182% of total non-performing loans, 
respectively. Including acquired non-impaired loans, the allowance for loan losses covered 63% of total non-performing loans 
at December 31, 2016 and 242% at December 31, 2015.

FDIC Loss Share Receivable

As part of the FDIC-assisted acquisitions in 2009 and 2010, the Company recorded a receivable from the FDIC, which 
represented the fair value of the expected reimbursable losses covered by the loss share agreements as of the acquisition dates. 
The FDIC loss share receivable was written-off in December of 2016 when the Company entered into an agreement with the 
FDIC to terminate the Company's loss share agreements prior to their contractual maturities. The Company received a net 
payment of $6.5 million from the FDIC as consideration for this termination and subsequently derecognized the remaining 
FDIC indemnification asset and associated assets and liabilities, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $17.8 million. 

The Company will benefit from all future recoveries, and be responsible for all future losses and expenses related to the assets 
previously subject to the loss share agreements. Amortization expense associated with the FDIC indemnification asset, which 
was previously expected to be $8 million in 2017, will no longer be recognized and will positively impact the net interest 
margin beginning in 2017. 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.4 billion at December 31, 2016, an increase of $851.9 million, or 167%, from year-end 
2015. Cash and due from banks increased $54.2 million to $295.9 million at December 31, 2016. Short-term investments 
primarily result from excess funds invested overnight in interest-bearing deposit accounts at the FRB and the FHLB of Dallas. 
These balances fluctuate daily depending on the funding needs of the Company and earn interest at the current FHLB and FRB 
short-term rates. The balance in interest-bearing deposits at other institutions of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2016 increased 
$797.6 million, or 297%, from December 31, 2015. The increase in total cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to 
an inflow of deposits at the end of 2016 and the common and preferred stock issuances during 2016. The Company’s cash 
activity is further discussed in the “Liquidity and Other Off-Balance Sheet Activities” section below.

(1)  Other interest-earning assets are composed primarily of trust preferred common securities.

•  The $27.7 million, or 42%, increase in FHLB stock, FRB stock, and other equity securities was the result of $31.5 
million in stock purchases, $5.8 million in stock sales, and approximately $0.5 million in stock dividends received 
during 2016.

•  Bank-owned life insurance increased $29.3 million, or 22%, from 2015 to 2016 primarily due to the purchase of $24.1 

million in additional BOLI policies, and to a lesser extent, increases in cash surrender values of policies held.

•  Core deposit intangibles decreased $8.2 million during the current year due to the amortization of core deposit 

intangibles.

•  The $65.4 million, or 46%, decrease in the investment in tax credit entities was primarily due to the unwind of certain 

tax credit investments expiring during 2016.

•  Other real estate includes all real estate, other than bank premises used in bank operations, which is owned or 

controlled by the Company, including real estate acquired in settlement of loans and former bank premises no longer 
used. The $12.9 million decrease in OREO from December 31, 2015 was a result of the sale of OREO properties, 
including a $3.4 million decrease in former bank premises. 

•  The $15.0 million, or 10%, increase in other non-earning assets since December 31, 2015 was primarily the result of 
an increase in deferred tax assets due to a tax benefit of $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 as a result of the 
2015 tax return filing.

FUNDING SOURCES

Deposits obtained from clients in its primary market areas are the Company’s principal source of funds for use in lending and 
other business purposes. The Company attracts local deposit accounts by offering a wide variety of products, competitive 
interest rates and convenient branch office locations and service hours. Increasing core deposits is a continuing focus of the 
Company and has been accomplished through the development of client relationships and acquisitions. Short-term and long-
term borrowings are also an important funding source for the Company. Other funding sources include subordinated debt and 
shareholders’ equity. Refer to the “Liquidity and Other Off-Balance Sheet Activities” section below for further discussion of the 
Company’s sources and uses of funding. The following discussion highlights the major changes in the mix of deposits and other 
funding sources during 2016.

Deposits

The Company’s ability to attract and retain customer deposits is critical to the Company’s continued success. The year-over-
year growth in deposits is the result of the continued strengthening of legacy client relationships, deeper expansion into markets 
from prior year acquisitions, and normal deposit campaigns. The Company's deposit balances generally increase at the end of 
any given year due to real estate tax collections by our municipal customers. These balances typically remain on deposit with 
the Company 45 to 60 days. Given the short-term nature of these seasonal funds, the deposit balances tied to these seasonal 
flows are held in liquid investments until they are withdrawn from the Company. The Company currently expects total deposits 
to decline during the first half of 2017. 

Total deposits increased $1.2 billion, or 8%, to $17.4 billion at December 31, 2016, from $16.2 billion at December 31, 2015. 
Over the same period, non-interest-bearing deposits increased $576.6 million, or 13%, and equated to 28% and 27% of total 
deposits at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, interest-bearing deposits also increased $652.9 million, or 
6%, from December 31, 2015. 

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s deposits as of December 31:

Short-term Borrowings

The Company may obtain advances from the FHLB of Dallas based upon its ownership of FHLB stock and certain pledges of 
its real estate loans and investment securities, provided certain standards related to the Company’s creditworthiness have been 
met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of 
maturities. The level of short-term borrowings can fluctuate significantly on a daily basis depending on funding needs and the 
source of funds chosen to satisfy those needs.

The Company also enters into repurchase agreements to facilitate customer transactions that are accounted for as secured 
borrowings. These transactions typically involve the receipt of deposits from customers that the Company collateralizes with its 
investment portfolio and have an average rate of 13.1 basis points. 

The following table details the average and ending balances of repurchase transactions as of and for the years ended 
December 31:

Total short-term borrowings increased $182.5 million, or 56%, from December 31, 2015, to $509.1 million at the end of 2016, 
a result of increases of $65.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding and $117.5 million in repurchase agreements. On an 
average basis, short-term borrowings increased $188.1 million, or 44%, from 2015, largely due to the increase in repurchase 
agreements during 2016. 

Total short-term borrowings were 3% of total liabilities and 45% of total borrowings at December 31, 2016 compared to 2% 
and 49%, respectively, at December 31, 2015. On an average basis, short-term borrowings were 3% of total liabilities and 50% 
of total borrowings in 2016, compared to 3% and 52%, respectively, during 2015. 

The weighted average rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.39% during 2016, up 21 basis points compared to 0.18% in 
2015. For additional information on the Company’s short-term borrowings, see Note 13, Short-Term Borrowings, to the Notes 
to the consolidated financial statements.

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt increased $288.5 million, or 85%, to $629.0 million from $340.4 million at December 31, 2015, largely due to 
an increase in FHLB advances during the year. This change in long-term debt also includes a decrease in new market tax credit 
notes payable associated with the unwind of certain tax credit investments during 2016. On a period-end basis, long-term debt 
was 3% and 2% of total liabilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

On average, long-term debt increased to $616.3 million in 2016, $228.1 million, or 59%, higher than 2015, as the Company 
took advantage of favorable rates on FHLB advances to fund loan growth and for other liquidity purposes in 2016. Average 
long-term debt was 3% of total liabilities during the current year, compared to 2% during 2015. 

Long-term debt at December 31, 2016 included $480.1 million in fixed-rate advances from the FHLB of Dallas that cannot be 
prepaid without incurring substantial penalties. The remaining debt consisted of $120.1 million of the Company’s junior 
subordinated debt and $28.7 million in notes payable on investments in new market tax credit entities. Interest on the junior 
subordinated debt is payable quarterly and may be deferred at any time at the election of the Company for up to 20 consecutive 
quarterly periods. During any deferral period, the Company is subject to certain restrictions, including being prohibited from 
declaring dividends to its common shareholders. The junior subordinated debt is redeemable by the Company in whole or in 
part. For additional information, see Note 14, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

On May 4, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares of IBERIABANK 
Corporation's outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under this program will be made from time to time, on the open 
market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of these repurchases will depend on market conditions and other 
requirements. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of 
shares, and the program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. During the second quarter of 
2016, the Company repurchased 202,506 common shares at a weighted average price of $57.61 per common share.

(cid:24)(cid:21)

On May 9, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate 2,300,000 depositary shares each representing a 1/400th ownership interest 
in a share of the Company's 6.60% Fixed-to-Floating Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $1.00 per 
share, ("Series C Preferred Stock"), with a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (equivalent 
to $25 per depositary share), which represents $57,500,000 in aggregate liquidation preference. Note 16 to the consolidated 
financial statements provides additional information on the preferred stock issuance. 

On December 7, 2016, the Company issued an additional 3,593,750 shares of its common stock at a price of $81.50 per 
common share. Net proceeds from the offering, after deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions, and direct issuance 
costs, were $279.2 million. 

Federal regulations impose minimum regulatory capital requirements on all institutions with deposits insured by the FDIC. The 
FRB imposes similar capital regulations on bank holding companies. Compliance with bank and bank holding company 
regulatory capital requirements, which include leverage and risk-based capital guidelines, are monitored by the Company on an 
ongoing basis. Under the risk-based capital method, a risk weight is assigned to balance sheet and off-balance sheet items based 
on regulatory guidelines.

In July 2013, the U.S. banking regulatory agencies, including the FRB, approved a final rule to implement the revised capital 
adequacy standards of the BCBS or Basel III, and to address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Company and 
IBERIABANK became subject to the new rules on January 1, 2015. The implementation of the BASEL III capital adequacy 
standards included a one-time election to opt out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other 
comprehensive income, including the net unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available for sale investment securities, 
in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital. The Company elected to opt out of the requirement in the first quarter of 2015 in an 
effort to exclude the impact that changes in the Company's unrealized gain or loss on its available for sale investment portfolio 
have on regulatory capital and the related capital ratios. Certain provisions of the new rules will be phased in from that date to 
January 1, 2019. Additional information on the revised capital adequacy standards is included in Note 16 to the consolidated 
financial statements. 

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company exceeded all required regulatory capital ratios, and the regulatory capital ratios 
of IBERIABANK were in excess of the levels established for “well-capitalized” institutions, as shown in the following table 
and chart.

The increase in IBERIABANK Corporation's CET1 ratio from December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by an increase in 
regulatory capital from the additional common stock issued in 2016, as well as undistributed earnings in the current year. 
Additionally, IBERIABANK Corporation's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio increased from 
December 31, 2015 as a result of the Company's issuance of additional preferred stock during 2016.

Beginning January 1, 2016, minimum capital ratios were subject to a capital conservation buffer. In order to avoid limitations 
on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, an institution 
must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer is 
calculated as the lowest of the differences between the actual CET1 ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and Total Risk-
Based Capital ratio and the corresponding minimum ratios. At December 31, 2016, the required minimum capital conservation 
buffer was 0.625%, and will increase in subsequent years by 0.625% until it is fully phased in on January 1, 2019 at 2.50%. At 
December 31, 2016, the capital conservation buffers of the Company and IBERIABANK were 6.13% and 3.56%, respectively. 

(cid:24)(cid:22)

Management believes that at December 31, 2016, the Company and IBERIABANK would have met all capital adequacy 
requirements on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were then effective. There can be no assurances that the Basel III 
capital rules will not be revised before the expiration of the phase-in periods.

LIQUIDITY AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to support its operations and to meet its obligations, 
including the withdrawal of deposits by customers, commitments to originate loans, and its ability to repay its borrowings and 
other liabilities. Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from the Company’s inability to fulfill its obligations as 
they become due. Liquidity risk also develops from the Company’s failure to timely recognize or address changes in market 
conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets in a timely manner or to obtain adequate funding to continue to operate on a 
profitable basis.

The primary sources of funds for the Company are deposits and borrowings. Other sources of funds include repayments and 
maturities of loans and investment securities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and, to a lesser extent, off-balance 
sheet borrowing availability. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2016 totaled $1.3 
billion. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the 
Company. Additionally, the majority of the investment securities portfolio is classified as available-for-sale, which provides the 
ability to liquidate unencumbered securities as needed. Of the $3.5 billion in the investment securities portfolio, $2.0 billion is 
unencumbered and $1.5 billion has been pledged to support repurchase transactions, public funds deposits and certain long-
term borrowings. Due to the relatively short implied duration of the investment securities portfolio, the Company has 
historically experienced significant cash inflows on a regular basis. Securities cash flows are highly dependent on prepayment 
speeds and could change materially as economic or market conditions change. See Note 12, Deposits, Note 13, Short-Term 
Borrowings, and Note 14, Long-Term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion related to the 
Company’s funding requirements.

Scheduled cash flows from the amortization and maturities of loans and securities are relatively predictable sources of funds. 
Conversely, deposit flows, prepayments of loan and investment securities, and draws on customer letters and lines of credit are 
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition, and customer demand. The FHLB of Dallas 
provides an additional source of liquidity to make funds available for general requirements and also to assist with the variability 
of less predictable funding sources. At December 31, 2016, the Company had $655.1 million of outstanding FHLB advances, 
$175.0 million of which was short-term and $480.1 million was long-term. Additional FHLB borrowing capacity available at 
December 31, 2016 amounted to $4.9 billion. At December 31, 2016, the Company also has various funding arrangements with 
commercial banks providing up to $180.0 million in the form of federal funds and other lines of credit. At December 31, 2016, 
there were no balances outstanding on these lines and all of the funding was available to the Company.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. The Company manages its liquidity 
with the objective of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the predicted needs of depositors and borrowers and to take 
advantage of investments in earning assets and other earnings enhancement opportunities. 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 fund loan commitments 
and meet its ongoing commitments associated with its operations. Based on its available cash at December 31, 2016 and current 
deposit modeling, the Company believes it has adequate liquidity to fund ongoing operations. The Company has adequate 
availability of funds from deposits, borrowings, repayments and maturities of loans and investment securities to provide the 
Company additional working capital if needed.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a number of activities that contain credit, market and operational 
risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include 
traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments and commitments under operating leases. The Company 
provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan commitments, lines of credit, and standby letters of 
credit. Many of the commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used; therefore, the total amount of 
commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Based on its available liquidity and available borrowing 
capacity, the Company anticipates it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its current commitments.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT, MARKET RISK AND COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

The principal objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk included 
in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the appropriate level of risk given the Company’s business focus, operating 
environment, capital and liquidity requirements, and performance objectives, establish prudent asset concentration guidelines 
and manage the risk consistent with Board approved guidelines. Through such management, the Company seeks to reduce the 
vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Company’s actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of 
the Asset and Liability Committee. The Asset and Liability Committee normally meets monthly to review, among other things, 
the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions, and interest 
rates. In connection therewith, the Asset and Liability Committee generally reviews the Company’s liquidity, cash flow needs, 
composition of investments, deposits, borrowings, and capital position.

The objective of interest rate risk management is to control the effects that interest rate fluctuations have on net interest income 
and on the net present value of the Company’s earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management and the Board are 
responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. 
Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulation and asset/liability net present value sensitivity analyses. The 
Company uses financial modeling to measure the impact of changes in interest rates on the net interest margin and to predict 
market risk. Estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including 
yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, 
reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others. These analyses provide a range of potential impacts on 
net interest income and portfolio equity caused by interest rate movements.

Included in the modeling are instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios, which are utilized to establish exposure limits. These 
scenarios are known as “rate shocks” because all rates are modeled to change instantaneously by the indicated shock amount, 
rather than a gradual rate shift over a period of time that has traditionally been more realistic.

(cid:24)(cid:24)

The Company’s interest rate risk model indicates that the Company is asset sensitive in terms of interest rate sensitivity. Based 
on the Company’s interest rate risk model at December 31, 2016, the table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and 
sustained 100 and 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on net interest income over the next twelve months.

200

100

-100

-200

% Change in Projected
Net Interest Income

6.1%

(7.9)%

(12.2)%

The influence of using the forward curve as of December 31, 2016 as a basis for projecting the interest rate environment would 
approximate a 1.4% increase in net interest income over the next 12 months. The computations of interest rate risk shown 
above are performed on a flat balance sheet and do not necessarily include certain actions that management may undertake to 
manage this risk in response to unanticipated changes in interest rates and other factors to include shifts in deposit behavior.

The short-term interest rate environment is primarily a function of the monetary policy of the FRB. The principal tools of the 
FRB for implementing monetary policy are open market operations, or the purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury and Federal 
agency securities, as well as the establishment of a short-term target rate. The FRB’s objective for open market operations has 
varied over the years, but the focus has gradually shifted toward attaining a specified level of the Federal funds rate to achieve 
the long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth. The Federal funds rate is the basis for overnight funding 
and drives the short end of the yield curve. Longer maturities are influenced by the market’s expectations for economic growth 
and inflation, but can also be influenced by FRB purchases and sales and expectations of monetary policy going forward. 

The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the FRB, in an attempt to stimulate the overall economy, has, among other 
things, kept interest rates low through its targeted Federal funds rate. On December 15, 2016, the FOMC voted to raise the 
target Federal funds rate by 0.25%, almost a year to the day since the last increase on December 17, 2015. The FOMC expects 
that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the Federal funds rate over the 
next several years. As the FOMC increases the Federal funds rate, it is possible that overall interest rates could rise, which may 
negatively impact the housing markets and the U.S. economic recovery. In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly 
lowering our operating costs, could have a significant negative effect on our borrowers, especially our commercial borrowers, 
and the values of collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance.

The Company’s commercial loan portfolio is also impacted by fluctuations in the level of one-month LIBOR, as a large portion 
of this portfolio reprices based on this index. Our net interest income may be reduced if more interest-earning assets than 
interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature during a period when interest rates are declining, or more interest-bearing liabilities 
than interest-earning assets reprice or mature during a period when interest rates are rising.

(1) Amounts include expected maturities, scheduled paydowns, expected prepayments, and loans subject to floors and exclude 
the repricing of assets from prior periods, as well as non-accrual loans and market value adjustments.

As part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company has seen greater levels of loan originations with adjustable or 
variable rates of interest as well as commercial and consumer loans, which typically have shorter terms than residential 
mortgage loans. The majority of fixed-rate, long-term residential loans are sold in the secondary market to avoid assumption of 
the interest rate risk associated with longer duration assets in the current low rate environment. As of December 31, 2016, $8.3 

(cid:24)(cid:25)

billion, or 55%, of the Company’s total loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates. The Company had no significant 
concentration to any single borrower or industry segment at December 31, 2016.

The Company’s strategy with respect to liabilities in recent periods has been to emphasize transaction accounts, particularly 
non-interest or low interest-bearing transaction accounts, which are significantly less sensitive to changes in interest rates. At 
December 31, 2016, 88% of the Company’s deposits were in transaction and limited-transaction accounts, compared to 87% at 
December 31, 2015. Non-interest-bearing transaction accounts were 28% of total deposits at December 31, 2016, compared to 
27% of total deposits at December 31, 2015.

Much of the liquidity increase experienced in the past several years has been due to a significant increase in non-interest-
bearing demand deposits. The behavior of non-interest-bearing deposits and other types of demand deposits is one of the most 
important assumptions used in determining the interest rate and liquidity risk positions. A loss of these deposits in the future 
would reduce the asset sensitivity of the Company’s balance sheet as interest-bearing funds would most likely be increased to 
offset the loss of this favorable funding source.

(1) Amounts exclude the repricing of liabilities from prior periods.

As part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy, derivative instruments may also be used as an efficient way to 
modify the repricing or maturity characteristics of on-balance sheet assets and liabilities. Management may from time to time 
engage in interest rate swaps to effectively manage interest rate risk. The interest rate swaps of the Company would modify net 
interest sensitivity to levels deemed appropriate.

IMPACT OF INFLATION OR DEFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, 
which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without 
considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, the majority of 
the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact 
on the Company’s performance than does the effect of inflation. Although fluctuations in interest rates are neither completely 
predictable nor controllable, the Company regularly monitors its interest rate position and oversees its financial risk 
management by establishing policies and operating limits. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the 
same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest 
rates. Although not as critical to the banking industry as to other industries, inflationary factors may have some impact on the 
Company’s growth, earnings, total assets and capital levels. Management does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in 
2017.

Conversely, a period of deflation could affect our business, as well as all financial institutions and other industries. Deflation 
could lead to lower profits, higher unemployment, lower production and deterioration in overall economic conditions. In 
addition, deflation could depress economic activity, including loan demand and the ability of borrowers to repay loans, and 
consequently impair earnings through increasing the value of debt while decreasing the value of collateral for loans. 

Management believes the most significant potential impact of deflation on financial results relates to the Company's ability to 
maintain a sufficient amount of capital to cushion against future losses. However, the Company would employ certain risk 
management tools to maintain its balance sheet strength in the event a deflationary scenario were to develop.

(cid:24)(cid:26)

Non-GAAP Measures

This discussion and analysis included herein contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance 
with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s 
performance. Non-GAAP measures include but are not limited to descriptions such as core, tangible, and pre-tax pre-provision. 
These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to exclude the effects of the amortization of intangibles and 
include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common 
shareholders for certain significant activities or transactions that in management’s opinion can distort period-to-period 
comparisons of the Company’s performance. Transactions that are typically excluded from non-GAAP performance measures 
include realized and unrealized gains/losses on former bank owned real estate, realized gains/losses on securities, income tax 
gains/losses, merger related charges and recoveries, litigation charges and recoveries, and debt repayment penalties. 
Management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is 
essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures 
should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily 
comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-
GAAP disclosures are presented in Table 32, with the exception of forward-looking information. The Company is unable to 
estimate GAAP EPS guidance without unreasonable efforts due to the nature of one-time or unusual items that cannot be 
predicted, and therefore has not provided this information under Regulation S-K Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B).

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Board of Directors of
IBERIABANK Corporation

The management of IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective 
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance 
to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s 
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control 
over financial reporting includes self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are 
identified.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect 
misstatements in the Company’s financial statements, including the possibility of circumvention or overriding of controls. 
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial 
statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk 
that controls may become inadequate because of a change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on its assessment, 
management believes that, as of December 31, 2016, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based 
on those criteria.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has also issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
IBERIABANK Corporation

We have audited IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). IBERIABANK Corporation and 
subsidiaries’ management is responsible 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 Management Report 
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control 
over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal 
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of 
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and 
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered 
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

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 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 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 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.

In our opinion, IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
the consolidated balance sheets of IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the 
related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2016 and our report dated February 21, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
IBERIABANK Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries as of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial 
position of IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. 
generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on 
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 21, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

IBERIABANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and practices generally 
accepted in the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 
subsidiaries.

When we refer to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this Report, we mean IBERIABANK Corporation and subsidiaries 
(consolidated). When we refer to the “Parent,” we mean IBERIABANK Corporation. See the Glossary of Acronyms at the end 
of this Report for terms used throughout this Report.

Reclassification

Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These 
reclassifications did not have a material effect on previously reported consolidated financial statements.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest 
under either the voting interest or variable interest model. The assessment of whether or not the Company has a controlling 
interest (i.e., the primary beneficiary) in a VIE is performed on an on-going basis. All equity investments in non-consolidated 
VIEs are included in "other assets" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss 
as a result of its involvement with non-consolidated VIEs was approximately $84 million and $160 million at December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company's maximum exposure to loss was equivalent to the carrying value of its investments 
and any related outstanding loans to the non-consolidated VIEs.

Investments in entities that are not consolidated are accounted for under either the equity, cost, or proportional amortization 
method of accounting. Investments for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating 
and financing decisions of the entity are accounted for under the equity method. Investments for which the Company does not 
hold such ability are accounted for under the cost method. Investments in qualified affordable housing projects, which meet 
certain criteria, are accounted for under the proportional amortization method. 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, IBERIABANK; Lenders Title 
Company; IBERIA Capital Partners, LLC; 1887 Leasing, LLC; IBERIA Asset Management, Inc.; 840 Denning, LLC; and 
IBERIA CDE, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All normal, 
recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements 
have been included.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company offers commercial and retail banking products and services to customers throughout locations in seven states 
through IBERIABANK. The Company also operates mortgage production offices in 10 states through IMC and offers a full 
line of title insurance and closing services throughout Arkansas and Louisiana through LTC and its subsidiaries. ICP provides 
equity research, institutional sales and trading, and corporate finance services throughout the energy industry. 1887 Leasing, 
LLC owns an aircraft used by management of the Company. IAM provides wealth management and trust services for 
commercial and private banking clients. CDE is engaged in the purchase of tax credits.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ 
from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for credit 
losses, valuation of and accounting for acquired loans, goodwill and other intangibles, and income taxes.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within the states of Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, 
Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee. The Company’s lending activity is concentrated in its market areas in those states. The 
Company has emphasized originations of commercial loans and private banking loans, defined as loans to higher net worth 

(cid:26)(cid:23)

clients. Repayments on loans are expected to come from cash flows of the borrower and/or guarantor. Losses on secured loans 
are limited by the value of the collateral upon default of the borrowers and guarantor support. Concentrations in commercial 
real estate have increased as a result of the Company's organic growth and recent acquisitions of banks with significant CRE 
portfolios. Additionally, as the Company has executed its risk-off strategy over the past two years, CRE concentrations have 
naturally increased as a percentage of the total portfolio. The Company does not have any excessive concentrations to any one 
industry or customer.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at their acquisition date fair values. In accordance with 
ASC Topic 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 about facts and circumstances that 
existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that 
date. Subsequent to the Company's early adoption of ASU No. 2015-16 during the third quarter of 2015, adjustments recorded 
during the measurement period are recognized in the current reporting period.

Loans generally represent a significant portion of the assets acquired in the Company’s business acquisitions. If the Company 
discovers that it has materially underestimated the credit losses expected in the loan portfolio based on information available at 
the acquisition date within the measurement period, it will reduce or eliminate the gain and/or increase goodwill recorded on 
the acquisition in the period the adjustment is recorded. If the Company determines that losses arose subsequent to the 
acquisition date, such losses are reflected as a provision for credit losses.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on 
hand, interest-bearing deposits, and non-interest-bearing demand deposits at other financial institutions with original maturities 
less than three months. IBERIABANK may be required to maintain average cash balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve 
Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, IBERIABANK had sufficient 
cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank to cover the required reserve balance.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Management determines the appropriate accounting classification of debt and equity securities at the time of acquisition and re-
evaluates such designations at least quarterly. Debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are 
classified as HTM and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using methods 
approximating the interest method. Securities acquired with the intention of recognizing short-term profits or which are actively 
bought and sold are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in 
earnings. Securities not classified as HTM or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are 
classified as AFS and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in OCI. 
Credit-related declines in the fair value of debt and marketable equity securities that are considered OTTI are recorded in 
earnings.

The Company evaluates its investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for indicators of OTTI. Declines in the fair value 
of individual HTM and AFS securities below their amortized cost basis are reviewed to determine whether the declines are 
other than temporary. In estimating OTTI losses, management considers 1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair 
value has been less than the amortized cost basis, 2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, 3) its intent to 
sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell those securities before the anticipated 
recovery of the amortized cost basis, and 4) for debt securities, the recovery of contractual principal and interest. 

For securities that the Company does not expect to sell, or it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to 
recovery of its amortized cost basis, the credit component of an OTTI is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component 
is recognized in OCI. For securities that the Company does expect to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to 
sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, both the credit and non-credit component of an OTTI are recognized in 
earnings. Subsequent to recognition of OTTI, an increase in expected cash flows is recognized as a yield adjustment over the 
remaining expected life of the security based on an evaluation of the nature of the increase. 

Nonmarketable equity securities include stock acquired for regulatory purposes, such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and 
Federal Reserve Bank stock. These securities are accounted for at amortized cost, evaluated for impairment at least quarterly, 
and included in "other assets".

(cid:26)(cid:24)

Gains or losses on securities sold are recorded on the trade date, using the specific identification method.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Loans and loan commitments which the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until 
maturity or payoff are classified as loans held for sale at the time of origination or acquisition. Subsequent to origination or 
acquisition, if the Company no longer has the intent or ability to hold a loan for the foreseeable future, generally a decision has 
been made to sell the loan, and it is classified within loans held for sale. Unless the fair value option has been elected at 
origination or acquisition, loans classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Amortization/accretion 
of remaining unamortized net deferred loan fees or costs and discounts or premiums (if applicable) ceases when a loan is 
classified as held for sale.

Loans held for sale primarily consist of fixed rate single-family residential mortgage loans originated and committed to be sold 
in the secondary market. Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are recorded at fair value under the fair value option, 
unless otherwise noted. For mortgage loans for which the Company has elected the fair value option, gains and losses are 
included in mortgage income. For any other loans held for sale, net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation 
allowance that is recorded as a charge to non-interest income. See Note 20 for further discussion of the determination of fair 
value for loans held for sale. In most cases, loans in this category are sold within thirty days and are generally sold with the 
mortgage servicing rights released. Buyers generally have recourse to return a purchased loan or request reimbursement for the 
loan premium or servicing rights under limited circumstances. Recourse conditions may include prepayment, payment default, 
breach of representations or warranties, and documentation deficiencies. During 2016 and 2015, an insignificant number of 
loans were returned to the Company. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the recorded repurchase liability associated with 
transferred loans was not material.

LOANS

Legacy (Loans originated or renewed and underwritten by the Company)

The Company originates mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans for customers. Loans that management has the intent and 
ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the unpaid principal balances, less the ALL, 
charge-offs, and unamortized net loan origination fees and direct costs, except for loans carried at fair value. Interest income is 
accrued as earned over the term of the loans based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of certain 
direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield.

Acquired (Loans acquired through Business Combinations)

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, 
consistent with the exit price concept on the date of acquisition. Credit risk assumptions and any resulting credit discounts are 
included in the determination of fair value. Therefore, an ALL is not recorded at the acquisition date. The determination of fair 
value includes estimates related to discount rates, expected prepayments, and the amount and timing of undiscounted expected 
principal, interest, and other cash flows.

Acquired loans are evaluated at acquisition and classified as purchased impaired (“acquired impaired”) or purchased non-
impaired (“acquired non-impaired”). Purchased impaired loans reflect credit deterioration since origination to the extent that it 
is probable at the time of acquisition that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. At the time 
of acquisition, purchased impaired loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into loan pools with similar 
characteristics, which include:

•  whether the loan is performing according to contractual terms at the time of acquisition,

• 

• 

• 

• 

the loan type based on regulatory reporting guidelines, namely whether the loan was a mortgage, consumer, or 
commercial loan,

the nature of collateral,

the interest rate type, whether fixed or variable rate, and

the loan payment type, primarily whether the loan is amortizing or interest-only.

From these pools, the Company uses certain loan information, including outstanding principal balance, estimated expected 
losses, weighted average maturity, weighted average term to re-price (if a variable rate loan), weighted average margin, and 
weighted average interest rate to estimate the expected cash flow for each loan pool.

(cid:26)(cid:25)

For purchased impaired loans, expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are recorded as 
interest income over the life of the loans using a level yield method if the timing and amount of future cash flows is reasonably 
estimable. For purchased non-impaired loans, the difference between the fair value and unpaid principal balance of the loan at 
acquisition, referred to as a purchase premium or discount, is amortized or accreted to income over the estimated life of the 
loans as an adjustment to yield.

Subsequent to acquisition, the Company performs cash flow re-estimations at least quarterly for each purchased impaired loan 
and/or loan pool. Increases in estimated cash flows above those expected at acquisition are recognized on a prospective basis as 
interest income over the remaining life of the loan and/or pool. Decreases in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition 
generally result in recognition of a provision for credit loss. The measurement of cash flows involves several assumptions and 
judgments (i.e., prepayments, default rates, loss severity, etc.). All of these factors are inherently subjective and significant 
changes in the cash flow estimations can result over the life of the loan.

Classification

The Company’s loan portfolio is disaggregated into portfolio segments for purposes of determining the ACL. The Company’s 
portfolio segments include commercial, residential mortgage, and consumer and other loans, bifurcated between legacy and 
acquired. The Company further disaggregates each commercial, residential mortgage, and consumer and other loans portfolio 
segment into classes for purposes of monitoring and assessing credit quality based on certain risk characteristics. Classes within 
the commercial loan portfolio segment include commercial real estate-construction, commercial real estate-other, commercial 
and industrial, and energy-related. Classes within the consumer and other loans portfolio segment include consumer-home 
equity, consumer-indirect automobile, consumer-credit card, and consumer-other.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible 
and minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the terms of a loan to alleviate the burden of the 
customer’s near-term cash requirements. In order to be classified as a TDR, the Company must conclude that the restructuring 
constitutes a concession and the customer is experiencing financial difficulties. The Company defines a concession to the 
customer as a modification of existing terms for economic or legal reasons that it would otherwise not consider. The concession 
is either granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court or 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 loan,

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

reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the loan as stated in the agreement, or

reduction of accrued interest receivable on the loan.

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(s), or is in an economic position where it is probable the 

customer will be in default on its loan(s) 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 loan, 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 a similar loan for a non-troubled debtor.

If the Company concludes that both a concession has been granted and the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the 
Company identifies the loan as a TDR. All TDRs are considered impaired loans.

(cid:26)(cid:26)

NON-ACCRUAL AND PAST DUE LOANS (INCLUDING LOAN CHARGE-OFFS)

Loans are generally considered past due when contractual payments of principal and interest have not been received within 30 
days from the contractual due date. Residential mortgage loans are considered past due when contractual payments have not 
been received for two consecutive payment dates.

Legacy and purchased non-impaired loans are placed on non-accrual status when any of the following occur: 1) the loan is 
maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; 2) collection of the full 
contractual amount of principal or interest is not expected (even if the loan is currently paying as agreed);  3) when principal or 
interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection; 
or 4) the borrower has filed or is likely to file bankruptcy. Factors considered in determining the collection of the full 
contractual amount of principal or interest include assessment of the borrower’s cash flow, valuation of underlying collateral, 
and the ability and willingness of guarantors to provide credit support.  Certain commercial loans are also placed on non-
accrual status when payment is not past due and full payment of principal and interest is expected, but we have doubt about the 
borrower’s ability to comply with existing repayment terms. Consideration will be given to placing a loan on non-accrual due 
to the deterioration of the debtor’s repayment ability, the repayment of the loan becoming dependent on the liquidation of 
collateral, an existing collateral deficiency, the loan being classified as "Doubtful" or "Loss", the client filing for bankruptcy, 
and/or foreclosure being initiated. Regarding all classes within the C&I and CRE portfolios, the determination of a borrower’s 
ability to make the required principal and interest payments is based on an examination of the borrower’s current financial 
statements, industry, management capabilities, and other qualitative measures.

Purchased impaired loans are placed on non-accrual status when the Company cannot reasonably estimate cash flows on a loan 
or loan pool. Legacy and purchased non-impaired loans are evaluated for potential charge-off in accordance with the 
parameters discussed in the following paragraph or when the loan is placed on non-accrual status, whichever is earlier.

Loans within the commercial portfolio (except for purchased impaired) are generally evaluated for charge-off at 90 days past 
due, unless both well-secured and in the process of collection. Closed and open-end residential mortgage and consumer loans 
(except for purchased impaired) are evaluated for charge-off no later than 120 days past due. Any outstanding loan balance in 
excess of the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell is charged-off no later than 120 days past due for loans secured by real 
estate. For non-real estate secured loans, in lieu of charging off the entire loan balance, loans may be written down to the fair 
value of the collateral less costs to sell if repossession of collateral is assured and in process.  

The accrual of interest, as well as the amortization/accretion of any remaining unamortized net deferred fees or costs and 
discount or premium, is discontinued at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. All accrued but uncollected interest 
for loans that are placed on non-accrual status is reversed through interest income. Cash receipts received on non-accrual loans 
are generally applied against principal until the loan has been collected in full, after which time any additional cash receipts are 
recognized as interest income (i.e., cost recovery method). However, interest may be accounted for under the cash-basis method 
as long as the remaining recorded investment in the loan is deemed fully collectible.

Loans are returned to accrual status when the borrower has demonstrated a capacity to continue payment of the debt (generally 
a minimum of six months of payment history) and collection of contractually required principal and interest associated with the 
debt is reasonably assured. At such time, the accrual of interest and amortization/accretion of any remaining unamortized net 
deferred fees or costs and discount or premium shall resume. Any interest income which was applied to the principal balance 
shall not be reversed and subsequently will be recognized as an adjustment to yield over the remaining life of the loan.

IMPAIRED LOANS

For all classes within the commercial portfolio, all loans with an outstanding commitment balance above a specific threshold 
are evaluated on a quarterly basis for potential impairment. Generally,  residential mortgage and consumer loans within any 
class are not individually evaluated on a regular basis for impairment. All TDRs, regardless of the outstanding balance amount 
or portfolio classification, and all purchased impaired loans are considered to be impaired.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to 
collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. 
Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the likelihood of 
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and 
payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Impairment losses are measured on a loan-by-loan basis for 
commercial and certain residential mortgage or consumer loans, based on either the present value of expected future cash flows 
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is 
collateral-dependent. This measurement requires significant judgment and use of estimates, and the actual loss ultimately 
recognized by the Company may differ significantly from the estimates.

(cid:26)(cid:27)

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES 

The Company maintains the ACL at a level that management believes appropriate to absorb estimated probable credit losses 
incurred in the loan portfolios (including unfunded commitments) as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The ACL consists 
of the allowance for loan losses (contra asset) and the reserve for unfunded commitments (liability). The manner in which the 
ACL is determined is based on 1) the accounting method applied to the underlying loans and 2) whether the loan is required to 
be measured for impairment. The Company delineates between loans accounted for under the contractual yield method, legacy 
and purchased non-impaired loans, and purchased impaired loans. Further, for legacy and acquired non-impaired loans, the 
Company attributes portions of the ACL to loans and loan commitments that it measures individually, and groups of 
homogeneous loans and loan commitments that it measures collectively for impairment. 

Determination of the appropriate ACL involves a high degree of complexity and requires significant judgment regarding the 
credit quality of the loan portfolio. Several factors are taken into consideration in the determination of the overall ACL, 
including a qualitative component. These factors include, but are not limited to, the overall risk profiles of the loan portfolios, 
net charge-off experience, the extent of impaired loans, the level of non-accrual loans, the level of 90 days past due loans, the 
value of collateral, the ability to monetize guarantor support, and the overall percentage level of the allowance relative to the 
loan portfolio, amongst other factors. The Company also considers overall asset quality trends, changes in lending practices and 
procedures, trends in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, including the existence and effect of any portfolio 
concentrations, changes in experience and depth of lending staff, the Company’s legal, regulatory and competitive 
environment, national and regional economic trends, data availability and applicability that might impact the portfolio or the 
manner in which it estimates losses, and risk rating accuracy and risk identification. 

The allowance for loan losses for all impaired loans (excluding purchased impaired) is determined on an individual loan basis, 
considering the facts and circumstances specific to each borrower. The allowance is based on the difference between the 
recorded investment in the loan and generally either the estimated net present value of projected cash flows or the estimated 
value of the collateral associated with the loan, if the loan is deemed collateral-dependent. For non-impaired loans (excluding 
purchased impaired), the allowance for loan losses is calculated based on pools of loans with similar characteristics. The pool-
level allowance is calculated through the application of PD (i.e., probability of default) and LGD (i.e., loss given default) 
factors for each individual loan. PDs and LGDs are determined based on historical default and loss information for similar 
loans. For purposes of establishing estimated loss percentages for pools of loans that share common risk characteristics, the 
Company’s loan portfolio is segmented by various loan characteristics including loan type, risk rating (commercial), Vantage or 
FICO score (residential mortgage and consumer), past due status (residential mortgage and consumer) and call report code. The 
default and loss information is measured over an appropriate period for each loan pool and adjusted as deemed 
appropriate. Qualitative adjustments are incorporated into the pool-level analysis to accommodate for the imprecision of certain 
assumptions and uncertainties inherent in the calculation. See the "Loans" section of this Footnote for discussion of the 
determination of the ACL for purchased impaired loans.

Certain inherent, but unconfirmed losses are probable within the loan portfolio. The Company’s current methodology for 
determining the level of inherent losses is based on historical loss rates, current credit grades, specific allocation, and other 
qualitative adjustments. In a stable or deteriorating credit environment, heavy reliance on historical loss rates and the credit 
grade rating process results in model-derived reserves that tend to slightly lag behind portfolio deterioration. Similar lags can 
occur in an improving credit environment whereby required reserves can lag slightly behind portfolio improvement. Given 
these and other model limitations, qualitative adjustment factors may be incremental or decremental to the quantitative model 
results. In periods prior to 2015, the Company estimated incurred losses on its Exploration and Production and its Oil Field 
Services portfolios as an aggregate portfolio. Beginning in 2015, as the performance of these two portfolios began to diverge, 
the Company disaggregated the analysis of incurred losses within these portfolios, which included modifying its LGD estimates 
for the portfolios to more closely align with published historical industry data and other factors. Absent this change, the 
Company would have recorded an additional $10.0 million, or 17 cents per share, in provision expense for the year ended 
December 31, 2015.  

The reserve for unfunded commitments is determined using similar methodologies described above for non-impaired loans. 
The loss factors used in the reserve for unfunded commitments are equivalent to the loss factors used in the allowance for loan 
losses, while also considering utilization of unused commitments.

FDIC LOSS SHARE RECEIVABLE

The Company entered into or assumed arrangements with the FDIC which obligated the FDIC to reimburse the Company for 
losses on certain loans associated with FDIC-assisted transactions. The indemnification assets were recorded at fair value as of 
the acquisition dates based on estimated cash flows to be received over the expected life of the acquired assets, not to exceed 
the term of the indemnification agreements.

(cid:26)(cid:28)

Effective as of December 20, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the Company’s twelve 
loss share agreements ahead of their contractual maturities. Under the terms of the agreement, all rights and obligations of the 
Company and FDIC have been resolved and completed.  The Company received a net payment of $6.5 million from the FDIC 
as consideration for termination of the loss share agreements and subsequently derecognized the remaining FDIC 
indemnification asset of $20.4 million, along with other transaction related-adjustments (including tax impacts), resulting in a 
net loss of $11.2 million.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Land is carried at cost. Buildings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation 
computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and related improvements and 
generally 3 to 20 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term, 
including any renewal periods that are reasonably assured, or the asset’s useful life, whichever is shorter. Premises and 
equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the 
asset may not be recoverable.

SOFTWARE

Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of software is generally 
three years, but can vary depending on the specific facts and circumstances. Software is evaluated for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the software may not be recoverable. Software is 
recorded within "other assets" on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets with carrying amounts at December 31, 2016 and 
2015 of $5.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively. 

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid in a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable net 
assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed for potential impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis, 
as of October 1st, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of a 
reporting unit is less than its respective carrying amount. As part of its testing, the Company may elect to first assess qualitative 
factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If 
the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that more likely than not a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying 
amount, the Company determines the fair value of the respective reporting unit (through the application of various quantitative 
valuation methodologies) relative to its carrying amount to determine whether quantitative indicators of potential impairment 
are present (i.e., Step 1). The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and begin with Step 1. If the results 
of Step 1 indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be below its carrying amount, the Company determines the fair 
value of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, considering deferred taxes, and then measures impairment loss by comparing 
the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill (i.e., Step 2).

Title Plant

Costs incurred to construct a title plant, including the costs incurred to obtain, organize, and summarize historical information, 
are capitalized until the title plant can be used to perform title searches. A purchased title plant, including a purchased 
undivided interest in a title plant, is recorded at cost at the date of acquisition. For a title plant acquired separately or as part of a 
business acquisition, cost is measured as the fair value of the consideration paid. Capitalized costs of a title plant are not 
depreciated or charged to income unless circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the title plant has been impaired. 
Impairment indicators include a change in legal requirements or statutory practices, identification of obsolescence, or 
abandonment of the title plant, among other indicators.

Capitalized storage and retrieval costs (e.g., costs to convert from one storage retrieval system to another or to modernize the 
storage and retrieval systems) incurred after a title plant is operational are charged to expense in a systematic and rational 
manner. Title plant is recorded within "other assets" on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Intangible assets subject to amortization

The Company’s acquired intangible assets that are subject to amortization include (amongst other ancillary intangibles 
described in Note 10) core deposit intangibles, amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis, and a customer relationship 
intangible asset, amortized on an accelerated basis, over average lives not to exceed 10 years. The Company reviews intangible 
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be 

(cid:27)(cid:19)

recoverable. Impairment is identified if the sum of the undiscounted estimated future cash flows is less than the carrying value 
of the asset. Intangible assets are recorded within "other assets" on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Other real estate owned includes all real estate, other than bank premises used in bank operations, owned or controlled by the 
Company, including real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Properties are initially recognized at the recorded investment of 
the loan (which is the pro-rata carrying value of loans accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30, Receivables - 
Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality) or at estimated fair value less costs to sell, whichever is 
less, generally when the Company has received physical possession (legal title is not required for non-consumer residential 
property). The amount by which the recorded investment of the loan exceeds the fair value less costs to sell of the property is 
charged to the ALL. Subsequent to foreclosure, the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Former 
bank properties transferred to OREO are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Subsequent declines in the fair value of other 
real estate are recorded as adjustments to the carrying amount through a valuation allowance. Revenue and expenses from 
operations, gain or loss on sale, and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets. 
The Company included property write-downs of $3.4 million and $4.0 million in earnings for the years ended December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. OREO is recorded within "other assets" on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into various derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, asset sensitivity, and other 
exposures such as liquidity and credit risk, as well as to facilitate customer transactions. The primary types of derivatives 
utilized by the Company for its risk management strategies include interest rate swap agreements, interest rate lock 
commitments, forward sales commitments, and written and purchased options. All derivative instruments are recognized on the 
consolidated balance sheets as "other assets" or "other liabilities" at fair value, regardless of whether a right of offset exists. 
Changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument are recorded based on whether it has been designated 
and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. 

Interest rate swap and foreign exchange contracts are entered into by the Company to allow its commercial customers to 
manage their exposure to market rate fluctuations.  To mitigate the Company's exposure to the rate risk associated with 
customer contracts, offsetting derivative positions are entered into with reputable counterparties. The Company manages its 
credit risk, or potential risk of default, from the customer contracts through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. 
These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting (i.e., treated as economic hedges). 

Derivatives Designated in Hedging Relationships

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss related to the derivative instrument is initially reported as a 
component of OCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the 
hedge is terminated. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss, if any, is reported in earnings immediately, in either "other 
income" or "other expense", respectively. In applying hedge accounting for derivatives (ASC Topic 815-30 Derivatives and 
Hedging - Cash Flow Hedges), the Company establishes and documents a method for assessing the effectiveness of the 
hedging derivative and a measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge upon the inception of the 
hedge.

Derivatives Not Designated in Hedging Relationships

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are 
recognized in earnings immediately.

Common Types of Derivatives

Interest rate swap agreements

Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments based upon notional amounts. The exchange of payments 
typically involves paying a fixed rate and receiving a variable rate or vice versa.

As part of its activities to manage interest rate risk (i.e., the exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted 
transactions due to fluctuating market rates), the Company enters into interest rate contracts, which typically include interest 
rate swap agreements. The Company primarily utilizes these instruments, which the Company designates as cash flow hedges, 
to convert a portion of its variable-rate loans or debt to a fixed rate. 

(cid:27)(cid:20)

Interest rate lock commitments

The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans intended for sale whereby the interest rate on the 
prospective loan is determined prior to funding (“rate lock”). A rate lock is provided to a borrower, subject to conditional 
performance obligations, for a specified period of time that typically does not exceed 60 days. Rate lock commitments on 
mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are recognized as derivatives. Accordingly, such commitments are recorded at fair 
value as derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage income on the consolidated statements 
of comprehensive income.

Forward sales commitments

The Company uses forward sales commitments to protect the value of its rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale from 
changes in interest rates and pricing between the origination of the rate lock and sale of these loans, as changes in interest rates 
have the potential to cause a decline in value of rate locks and mortgage loans included in the held for sale portfolio. These 
commitments are recognized as derivatives and recorded at fair value as derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair 
value recorded in mortgage income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Equity-indexed certificates of deposit

IBERIABANK offers its customers a certificate of deposit that provides the purchaser a guaranteed return of principal at 
maturity plus a potential return, which allows IBERIABANK to identify a known cost of funds. The rate of return is based on 
the performance of a group of publicly traded stocks that represent a variety of industry segments. Because it is based on an 
equity index, the rate of return represents an embedded derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the host instrument 
and is to be accounted for separately. Accordingly, the certificate of deposit is separated into two components: a zero coupon 
certificate of deposit (the host instrument) and a written option purchased by the depositor (an embedded derivative). The 
discount on the zero coupon deposit is amortized over the life of the deposit, and the written option is carried at fair value on 
the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. IBERIABANK offsets the 
risks of the written option by purchasing an option with terms that mirror the written option, which is also carried at fair value 
on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes various commitments to extend credit, including commitments under 
commercial construction arrangements, commercial and home equity lines of credit, credit card arrangements, commercial 
letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded on the funding date.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Transfers of financial assets, or portions thereof which meet the definition of a participating interest, are accounted for as sales 
when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when 1) the 
assets have been legally isolated from the Company, 2) the transferee obtains the right, free of conditions that constrain it from 
taking advantage of that right and provide the Company with more than a trivial benefit, to pledge or exchange the transferred 
assets, and 3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets. Should the transfer not satisfy all 
three criteria, the transaction is recorded as a secured borrowing.

If the transfer is accounted for as a sale, the transferred assets are derecognized from the Company’s balance sheet and a gain or 
loss on sale is recognized. If the transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing, the transferred assets remain on the 
Company’s balance sheet and the proceeds from the transaction are recognized as a liability.

Servicing Rights

The Company recognizes the rights to service mortgage and other loans as separate assets, which are recorded in "other assets" 
in the consolidated balance sheets, when purchased or when servicing is contractually separated from the underlying loans by 
sale with servicing rights retained. 

For loan sales with servicing retained, a servicing right (generally an asset) is recorded at fair value for the right to service the 
loans sold. All servicing rights are identified by class and subsequently accounted for under the amortization method.

INCOME TAXES

The Company and all subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a calendar year basis. The Company files 
income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions through IBERIABANK Corporation 

(cid:27)(cid:21)

(Parent), IBERIABANK, IMC, LTC, and their subsidiaries. In lieu of Louisiana state income tax, IBERIABANK is subject to 
the Louisiana bank shares tax, portions of which are included in both "non-interest expense" and "income tax expense" in the 
Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. 
federal, state or local income tax examinations for years before 2012.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the 
net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax 
bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The 
measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, 
are not expected to be realized.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in "non-interest 
expense".

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company issues stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted share units, performance units, and phantom awards 
under various plans to directors, officers, and other key employees. Compensation cost for all awards is recognized on a 
straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, taking into account retirement 
eligibility. For service awards with graded vesting, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis. The 
majority of the Company's share-based awards qualify for equity accounting and contain service conditions. Under equity 
accounting, the fair value of the award is measured at the grant date and not subsequently remeasured. 

For awards that contain a market condition, the Company includes the market condition in the determination of the grant date 
fair value of the award. Compensation cost for an award with a market condition is recognized regardless of whether the market 
condition is satisfied, assuming the requisite service is met. The Company does not include performance conditions in the 
determination of the grant date fair value of the award.  Compensation cost for an award with a performance condition is not 
recognized if the performance condition is not satisfied. Phantom awards and performance units, accounted for as liability 
awards, are remeasured at each reporting period based on their fair value until the date of settlement. Compensation cost for 
each reporting period until settlement is based on the change (or a portion of the change, depending on the percentage of the 
requisite service that has been rendered at the reporting date) in the fair value of the phantom award and performance unit for 
each reporting period. 

Compensation expense relating to share-based awards is recognized in net income as part of “salaries and employee benefits” 
on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for employees and “professional services” for non-employee 
directors. The exercise price for the options granted by the Company is not less than the fair market value of the underlying 
stock at the grant date.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic 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, in the form of stock options or restricted stock units, had been issued, as 
well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Participating common shares issued by the 
Company relate to unvested outstanding restricted stock awards, the earnings allocated to which are used in determining 
income available to common shareholders under the two-class method. The two-class method allocates earnings for the period 
between common shareholders and other participating securities holders. The participating awards receiving dividends are 
allocated the same percentage of income as if they were outstanding shares.

SHARE REPURCHASES

Repurchases of the Company’s common stock are recorded at cost. 

Effective January 1, 2015, companies incorporated in Louisiana became subject to the Louisiana Business Corporation Act 
(which replaced the Louisiana Business Corporation Law). Provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Act eliminated 
the concept of treasury stock and provide that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued 
shares. As a result of this change in law, for the consolidated financial statements beginning with the quarterly period ended 
March 31, 2015, the Company classifies shares previously classified as treasury stock as a reduction to issued shares of 
common stock, and accordingly, adjusts the stated value of common stock and paid-in-capital.

(cid:27)(cid:22)

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. 
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 shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such 
items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or 
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement 
date. The Company estimates fair value based on the assumptions market participants would use when selling an asset or 
transferring a liability and characterizes such measurements within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to develop 
those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires the Company 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.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification 
of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy. The descriptions below are exclusive of assets or liabilities acquired in 
business combinations, as all such instruments are required to initially be measured at fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

Investment securities

Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities 
that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated 
using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities are classified within Level 2 of the 
hierarchy.

Mortgage loans held for sale

Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are recorded at fair value under the fair value option, unless otherwise noted. When 
determining the fair value of loans held for sale, the Company obtains quotes or bids on these loans directly from the 
purchasing financial institutions (Level 2).

Loans

The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated based on present values using entry-value rates (the interest rate that would be 
charged for a similar loan to a borrower with similar risk at the indicated balance sheet date) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
weighted for varying maturity dates. Other loans are valued based on present values using entry-value interest rates at 
December 31, 2016 and 2015 applicable to each category of loans, which are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. 

Impaired loans

Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310, Receivables. Fair value measurements are 
used in determining impairment using either the loan’s observable market price (Level 1), if available, or the fair value of the 
collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or independent 
valuation.

(cid:27)(cid:23)

Measuring the impairment of loans using the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective 
interest rate, is not considered a fair value measurement under GAAP as the interest rate used to discount the cash flows does 
not necessarily reflect current credit or market conditions for such loans.

Other real estate owned

Fair values of OREO are determined by sales agreement or appraisal and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and 
conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values on the 
properties or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property’s market, and thus OREO measured at fair value is classified 
within Level 3 of the hierarchy. 

Derivative financial instruments

Fair values of interest rate swaps, interest rate locks, forward sales commitments, and written and purchased options are 
estimated using prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics and thus are classified within Level 2 of the fair 
value hierarchy.

Deposits

The fair values of NOW accounts, money market deposits and savings accounts are the amounts payable on demand at the 
reporting date. Certificates of deposit are valued using a discounted cash flow model based on the weighted-average rate at 
December 31, 2016 and 2015 for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The fair value of the Company’s deposits are 
categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term borrowings

The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt

The fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current 
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is 
categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Off-balance sheet items

The Company has outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These off-balance sheet financial 
instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed. At 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair value of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was not material.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU No. 2014-09 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which implements a common 
revenue standard and clarifies the principles used for recognizing revenue. The amendments in the ASU clarify that an entity 
should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the 
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. As part of that principle, the 
entity should identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligation(s) of the contract, determine the 
transaction price, allocate that transaction price to the performance obligation(s), and then recognize revenue when or as the 
entity satisfies the performance obligation(s).  The amendments also provide additional guidance/principles associated with 
gross vs. net presentation (i.e., principal versus agency considerations).

The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, 
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The 
amendments will be applied through the election of one of two retrospective methods.

The Company intends to adopt the amendments beginning January 1, 2018 through the modified-retrospective transition 
method. Based on the Company’s preliminary scoping, walkthroughs, and contract reviews, it does not expect to recognize a 
significant cumulative adjustment to equity upon implementation of the standard. Further, the Company does not expect a 
significant impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income or consolidated balance sheets from 
either a presentation or timing perspective, but is still analyzing some contracts (e.g., card interchange and rewards).  The 

(cid:27)(cid:24)

Company does anticipate additional disclosures will be presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements following 
adoption.  

ASU No. 2015-02

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which 
changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal 
entities. The amendments in the guidance: 1) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities 
are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, 2) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a 
limited partnership, 3) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that 
have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and 4) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for certain 
investment funds.

The Company adopted the amendment, effective January 1, 2016, through retrospective application on all existing agreements; 
however, there was no resulting change to amounts reported in prior periods. Refer to Note 1 for current principles of 
consolidation.

ASU No. 2015-05

In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a 
software license (ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s 
Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement). If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, 
the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other 
software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the 
arrangement as a service contract. 

The Company adopted the amendment prospectively on all arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 
1, 2016, on an individual arrangement basis. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-05 was not material to the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-01

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Statements - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and 
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments will not change the guidance for classifying and 
measuring investments in debt securities or loans; however, the ASU will impact how entities measure certain equity 
investments, recognize changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable 
to instrument-specific credit risk, and disclose and present financial assets and liabilities in financial statements.

Specifically, the aforementioned amendments will require measurement of equity investments at fair value, with changes 
recognized in net income, unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception, the equity method of accounting, 
or consolidation. For financial liabilities measured using the fair value option, any change in fair value caused by a change in 
an entity’s own credit risk will be recognized separately in OCI, as opposed to earnings. The amendments will also require 
entities to present financial assets and financial liabilities separately, grouped by measurement category and form of financial 
asset in the statement of financial position or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Entities will also no longer 
have to disclose the methods and significant assumptions for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, but will be 
required to measure such instruments under the “exit price” notion for disclosure purposes.

ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 
2017. An entity will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of the beginning of the first 
reporting period in which the guidance is adopted, with two exceptions. The amendments related to equity investments without 
readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) will be effective prospectively. The requirement to use the 
exit price notion to measure the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes will also be applied prospectively. 

The Company does not expect a significant cumulative-effect adjustment to be recorded at adoption or any significant impact to 
the consolidated financial statements associated with the accounting for its current equity investments.  The Company does 
anticipate financial statement disclosures to be impacted, specifically related to financial instruments measured at amortized 
cost whose fair values are disclosed under the “entry price” notion, but is currently still in the process of determining the 
impact.

ASU No. 2016-02

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The most significant amendment to existing GAAP 
is the recognition of lease assets (i.e., right of use assets) and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases that are classified as 

(cid:27)(cid:25)

operating leases by lessees. The lessor model remains similar to the current accounting model in existing GAAP. Additional 
amendments include, but are not limited to, the elimination of leveraged leases; modification to the definition of a lease; 
amendments on sale and leaseback transactions; and disclosure of additional quantitative and qualitative information.

ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal 
years. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a 
modified retrospective approach. The Company anticipates adopting the amendments on January 1, 2019.  The Company is 
currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a 
significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.  Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current 
portfolio, the impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is estimated to result in less than a 1% increase in assets and 
liabilities.  The adjustment to retained earnings is not expected to be material based on the transition guidance associated with 
current sale-leaseback agreements.  The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

ASU No. 2016-09

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to 
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments will require recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies 
associated with awards which vest or settle within income tax expense or benefit in the statement of comprehensive income, 
with the tax effects treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. The ASU further requires entities to 
recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. This will eliminate 
the current APIC pool concept.

The amendments will also allow an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, permit an entity to 
withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions while still qualifying for equity classification, 
and change the classification of certain cash flows associated with stock compensation.

ASU 2016-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal 
years. The transition method for implementing each amendment varies.

The Company expects to elect an accounting policy to account for forfeitures as they occur upon adoption. Based on the 
Company's current stock valuation and estimated exercise activity associated with stock options, it anticipates an insignificant 
reduction to income tax expense at adoption.

ASU No. 2016-13

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit 
Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses 
(“ECL”), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g., loans and held-to-
maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The ECL should 
consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of 
prepayments, over the contractual term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when 
estimating the ECL.

The ASU also amends the current AFS security impairment model for debt securities. The new model will require an estimate 
of ECL when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset through the use of an allowance to record estimated credit 
losses (and subsequent recoveries). Non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through OCI.

In addition, the amendments provide for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with a more-than-
insignificant amount of credit deterioration since their origination. The initial estimate of expected credit losses would be 
recognized through an ALL with an offset (i.e., increase) to the cost basis of the related financial asset at acquisition.

ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. The amendments 
will be applied through a modified-retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as 
of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. A prospective transition approach is required 
for debt securities for which OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. Amounts previously recognized in AOCI as 
of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected should continue to be accreted into 
income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash 
flows after the date of adoption should be recorded in earnings when received.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(cid:27)(cid:26)

ASU No. 2016-15

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash 
Receipts and Cash Payments, in order to reduce current diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are 
presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.

ASU 2016-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal 
years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied using a 
retrospective transition method to each period presented.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. The 
Company is not expecting to early adopt the ASU.

ASU No. 2017-01

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a 
Business, which introduces amendments that are intended to clarify the definition of a business to assist companies and other 
reporting organizations with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or 
businesses.  The amendments are intended to narrow the current interpretation of a business.

ASU No. 2017-01 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim 
reporting periods within those periods. The amendments will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early 
application of the amendments in this ASU is allowed for transactions, including when a subsidiary or group of assets is 
deconsolidated/derecognized, in which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, 
only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance.

The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the ASU.

ASU No. 2017-04

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for 
Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from 
the goodwill impairment test.  Therefore, any carrying amount which exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (up to the amount 
of goodwill recorded) will be recognized as an impairment loss.

ASU No. 2017-04 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim 
reporting periods within those periods.  The amendments will be applied prospectively on or after the effective date.  Early 
adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  Based 
on recent goodwill impairments tests, which did not require the application of Step 2, the Company does not expect the 
adoption of this ASU to have an immediate impact.

NOTE 3 –ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

2015 Acquisitions

During 2015, the Company expanded its presence in Florida and Georgia through acquisitions of Florida Bank Group, Inc. on 
February 28, 2015, Old Florida Bancshares, Inc. on March 31, 2015, and Georgia Commerce Bancshares, Inc. on May 31, 
2015. 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business 
Combinations. Accordingly, for each transaction the purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. Upon receipt of final fair value estimates during the measurement period, 
which must be within one year of the acquisition dates, the Company records any adjustments to the preliminary fair value 
estimates in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company 
finalized the purchase price allocations related to the Florida Bank Group and Old Florida acquisitions. During the second 
quarter of 2016, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation related to the Georgia Commerce acquisition. The impact 
of these adjustments during 2016 was a $2.3 million increase to goodwill, with an offsetting decrease to net deferred tax assets.

(cid:27)(cid:28)

The following tables summarize the consideration paid, allocation of purchase price to net assets acquired and resulting 
goodwill for the aforementioned acquisitions.

The Company assessed the nature of the unrealized losses in its portfolio as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 to determine if 
there are losses that should be deemed other-than-temporary. In its analysis of these securities, management considered 
numerous factors to determine whether there were instances where the amortized cost basis of the debt securities would not be 
fully recoverable, including, but not limited to:

•  The length of time and extent to which the estimated fair value of the securities was less than their amortized cost,

•  Whether adverse conditions were present in the operations, geographic area, or industry of the issuer,

•  The payment structure of the security, including scheduled interest and principal payments, including the issuer’s failures 

to make scheduled payments, if any, and the likelihood of failure to make scheduled payments in the future,

•  Changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and

• 

Subsequent recoveries or additional declines in fair value after the balance sheet date.

(cid:28)(cid:23)

Management believes it has considered these factors, as well as all relevant information available, when determining the 
expected future cash flows of the securities in question. In each instance, management has determined the cost basis of the 
securities would be fully recoverable. Management also has the intent to hold debt securities until their maturity or anticipated 
recovery if the security is classified as available for sale. In addition, management does not believe the Company will be 
required to sell debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis of the security. As a result of the 
Company's analysis, no declines in the estimated fair value of the Company's investment securities were deemed to be other-
than-temporary at December 31, 2016 or 2015.

At December 31, 2016, 397 debt securities had unrealized losses of 1.79% of the securities’ amortized cost basis. At December 
31, 2015, 252 debt securities had unrealized losses of 1.10% of the securities’ amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses for 
each of the securities related to market interest rate changes and not credit concerns of the issuers. Additional information on 
securities that have been in a continuous loss position for over twelve months at December 31 is presented in the following 
table.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities by maturity at December 31, 2016 are presented in the 
following table. Securities are classified according to their contractual maturities without consideration of principal 
amortization, potential prepayments or call options. Accordingly, actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities. 
Weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of the yield to maturity based on the amortized cost of each security.

Between 2009 and 2011, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of six failed banks. Substantially all of the loans 
and foreclosed real estate that were acquired through these transactions were covered by loss share agreements between the 
FDIC and IBERIABANK, as well as FDIC loss share agreements assumed in connection with the Company's acquisition of 
Georgia Commerce in 2015, which afforded IBERIABANK loss protection. In December of 2016, the Company terminated all 
loss share agreements associated with FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Covered loans, which are included in the December 31, 2015 
acquired loans table above, were $229.2 million at December 31, 2015 of which $191.7 million were residential mortgage and 
home equity loans. As a result of the termination of the loss share agreements, there were no covered loans outstanding as of 
December 31, 2016. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s termination of its loss share 
agreements.

Net deferred loan origination fees were $22.6 million and $18.7 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In 
addition to loans issued in the normal course of business, the Company considers overdrafts on customer deposit accounts to be 
loans and reclassifies these overdrafts as loans in its consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, overdrafts 
of $4.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively, have been reclassified to loans.

(cid:28)(cid:26)

Loans with carrying values of $4.5 billion and $3.9 billion were pledged as collateral for borrowings at December 31, 2016 and 
2015, respectively.

Aging Analysis

The following tables provide an analysis of the aging of loans as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Due to the difference in 
accounting for acquired loans, the tables below further segregate the Company’s loans between loans originated, or renewed 
and underwritten by the Company ("legacy loans") and acquired loans.

Past due and non-accrual information presents acquired loans at the gross loan balance, prior to application of discounts.

Past due and non-accrual loan amounts exclude acquired impaired loans, even if contractually past due or if the Company 
does not expect to receive payment in full, as the Company is currently accreting interest income over the expected life of 
the loans.

(cid:28)(cid:28)

Loans Acquired 

As discussed in Note 3, during 2015, the Company acquired loans with fair values of $0.3 billion from Florida Bank Group, 
$1.1 billion from Old Florida, and $0.8 billion from Georgia Commerce. Of the total $2.2 billion of loans acquired, $2.1 billion 
were determined to have no evidence of deteriorated credit quality and are accounted for under ASC Topics 310-10 and 310-20. 
The remaining $57.8 million were determined to exhibit deteriorated credit quality since origination under ASC 310-30. The 
tables below show the balances acquired during 2015 for these two subsections of the acquired portfolio as of the acquisition 
date.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Information about the Company’s troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is presented in the 
following tables. Modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under ASC Topic 310-30 are excluded as TDRs. 
Accordingly, such modifications do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool, even if the modification of those 
loans would otherwise be considered a TDR. As a result, all such acquired loans that would otherwise meet the criteria for 
classification as a TDR are excluded from the tables below.

(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:19)

TDRs totaling $222.4 million and $57.0 million occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and December 
31, 2015, respectively, through modification of the original loan terms. There were no TDRs that occurred during the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2014 through modification of the original loan terms.

The following table provides information on how the TDRs were modified during the years ended December 31:

status and $136.5 million are on non-accrual status. Of the $57.0 million of TDRs occurring during the twelve months ended

Commercial real estate loans include loans to commercial customers for long-term financing of land and buildings or for land 
development or construction of a building. These loans are repaid through revenues from operations of the businesses, rents of 
properties, sales of properties and refinances. Commercial and industrial loans represent loans to commercial customers to 
finance general working capital needs, equipment purchases and other projects where repayment is derived from cash flows 
resulting from business operations. The Company originates commercial business loans on a secured and, to a lesser extent, 
unsecured basis.

Residential mortgage loans consist of loans to consumers to finance a primary residence. The vast majority of the residential 
mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of non-conforming 1-4 family mortgage loans secured by properties located in the 
Company's market areas and originated under terms and documentation that permit their sale in a secondary market.

Consumer loans are offered by the Company in order to provide a full range of retail financial services to its customers and 
include home equity, credit card and other direct consumer installment loans. The Company originates substantially all of its 
consumer loans in its primary market areas. Loans in the consumer segment are sensitive to unemployment and other key 
consumer economic measures.

Credit Quality

The Company utilizes an asset risk classification system in accordance with guidelines established by the Federal Reserve 
Board as part of its efforts to monitor commercial asset quality. “Special mention” loans are defined as loans where known 
information about possible credit problems of the borrower cause management to have some doubt as to the ability of these 
borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in future disclosure of these loans as non-
performing. For assets with identified credit issues, the Company has two primary classifications for problem assets: 
“substandard” and “doubtful.” 

Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will 
sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the 
additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full satisfaction of the loan balance outstanding 
questionable, which makes probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values higher. Loans classified 
as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth for special mention, substandard, or doubtful classification and are not considered 
criticized. Asset risk classifications are determined at origination or acquisition and reviewed on an ongoing basis. Risk 

(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:26)

classifications are changed if, in the opinion of management, the risk profile of the customer has changed since the last review 
of the loan relationship.

The Company’s investment in loans by credit quality indicator is presented in the following tables. The tables below further 
segregate the Company’s loans between loans that were originated by the Company (legacy loans) and acquired loans. Loan 
premiums/discounts in the tables below represent the adjustment of acquired loans to fair value at the acquisition date, as 
adjusted for income accretion and changes in cash flow estimates in subsequent periods. Asset risk classifications for 
commercial loans reflect the classification as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Credit quality information in the 
tables below includes total loans acquired (including acquired impaired loans) at the gross loan balance, prior to the application 
of premiums/discounts, at December 31, 2016 and 2015. 

Loan delinquency is the primary credit quality indicator that the Company utilizes to monitor consumer asset quality.

NOTE 7 – LOSS SHARING AGREEMENTS AND FDIC LOSS SHARE RECEIVABLE

In conjunction with the acquisitions of certain assets and liabilities of six failed banks between 2009 and 2011, as well as the 
acquisition of Georgia Commerce in 2015, the Company entered into or assumed arrangements with the FDIC that obligated 
the FDIC to reimburse the Company for losses on certain loans associated with the FDIC-assisted transactions. The 
indemnification assets were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition dates based on estimated cash flows to be received over 
the expected life of the acquired assets, not to exceed the term of the indemnification agreements.

Effective as of December 20, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the Company’s loss 
share agreements ahead of their contractual maturities. Under the terms of the agreement, all rights and obligations of the 
Company and the FDIC have been resolved and completed.  The Company received a net payment of $6.5 million from the 
FDIC as consideration for termination of the loss share agreements and subsequently derecognized the remaining FDIC 
indemnification asset and associated assets and liabilities, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $17.8 million.  The Company will 
benefit from all future recoveries, and be responsible for all future losses and expenses related to the assets previously subject 
to the loss share agreements.

The following is a summary of the year-to-date activity for the FDIC loss share receivables:

NOTE 8 –TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS (INCLUDING MORTGAGE BANKING 
ACTIVITY)

Commercial Banking Activity

The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were $1.0 billion and $888.4 million at December 31, 2016 and 
2015, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing portfolio of loans serviced for 
others, and included in demand deposits, were not significant at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Mortgage Banking Activity

IBERIABANK through its subsidiary, IMC, originates mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. The loans originated 
primarily consist of residential first mortgages that conform to standards established by the GSEs, but can also consist of junior 
lien loans secured by residential property. These sales are primarily to private companies that are unaffiliated with the GSEs on 
a servicing-released basis. During 2016, $14.0 million of mortgage loans held for sale for which the fair value option was 
elected were transferred from loans held for sale to loans held for investment. Changes to the carrying amount of mortgage 
loans held for sale at December 31 are presented in the following table.

Depreciation expense was $20.8 million, $22.2 million, and $19.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 
2014, respectively.

The Company actively engages in leasing office space available in buildings it owns. Leases have different terms ranging from 
monthly rental to 16 years. For the year ended December 31, 2016, income from these leases averaged $0.2 million per month. 
Total lease income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $2.8 million, $2.4 million, and $1.6 million, 
respectively. Income from leases is reported as a reduction in occupancy and equipment expense. The total allocated cost of the 
portion of the buildings held for lease at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $8.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively, with 
related accumulated depreciation of $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The Company leases certain branch and corporate offices, land and ATM facilities through operating leases with terms that 
range from one to 50 years, some of which contain renewal options and escalation clauses under various terms.  In addition, 
some have early termination clauses. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 totaled $16.6 
million, $15.4 million, and $10.9 million, respectively.

The goodwill adjustments during 2016 are the result of the finalization of fair value estimates related to the 2015 acquisitions 
of Florida Bank Group, Old Florida, and Georgia Commerce during the respective measurement periods. See Note 3 for further 
information on these acquisitions.

(cid:20)(cid:20)(cid:22)

The Company performed the required annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2016. The Company’s annual 
impairment test did not indicate impairment in any of the Company’s reporting units as of the testing date. Following the 
testing date, management evaluated the events and changes that could indicate that goodwill might be impaired and concluded 
that a subsequent test was not necessary.

Title Plant

The Company held title plant assets recorded in “other assets” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets totaling $6.7 
million at both December 31, 2016 and 2015. No events or changes in circumstances occurred during 2016 to suggest the 
carrying value of the title plant was not recoverable.

NOTE 11 –DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER HEDGING ACTIVITIES 

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, exposures related to liquidity and credit 
risk, and to facilitate customer transactions. The primary types of derivatives used by the Company include interest rate swap 
agreements, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate lock commitments, forward sales commitments, written and purchased 
options and credit derivatives. All derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as "other assets" or 
"other liabilities" at fair value, as required by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. 

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss related to the derivative instrument is initially reported as a 
component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects 
earnings or when the hedge is terminated. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. In 
applying hedge accounting for derivatives, the Company establishes and documents a method for assessing the effectiveness of 
the hedging derivative and a measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge upon the inception of 
the hedge. The Company has designated interest rate swaps in a cash flow hedge to convert forecasted variable interest 
payments to a fixed rate on its junior subordinated debt and has concluded that the forecasted transactions are probable of 
occurring. 

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 entered into risk participation agreements with counterparties to transfer or assume credit exposures related 
to interest rate derivatives.  The notional amounts of risk participation agreements sold were $106.5 million and $43.2 million 
at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Assuming all underlying third party customers referenced in the 
swap contracts defaulted at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the exposure from these agreements would not be 
material based on the fair value of the underlying swaps.

The Company is party to collateral agreements with certain derivative counterparties. Such agreements require that the 
Company maintain collateral based on the fair values of individual derivative transactions. In the event of default by the 
Company, the counterparty would be entitled to the collateral.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company was required to post $1.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively, in cash or 
securities as collateral for its derivative transactions, which are included in "interest-bearing deposits in banks" on the 
Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not anticipate additional assets will be required to be posted as 
collateral, nor does it believe additional assets would be required to settle its derivative instruments immediately if contingent 
features were triggered at December 31, 2016. The Company’s master netting agreements represent written, legally enforceable 
bilateral agreements that (1) create a single legal obligation for all individual transactions covered by the master agreement and 
(2) in the event of default, provide the non-defaulting counterparty the right to accelerate, terminate, and close-out on a net 
basis all transactions under the agreement and to promptly liquidate or set-off collateral posted by the defaulting counterparty. 
As permitted by U.S. GAAP, the Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral 
or the obligation to return cash collateral against recognized fair value amounts of derivatives executed with the same 
counterparty under a master netting agreement.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has not reclassified into earnings any gain or loss as a 
result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges, because it was probable the original forecasted transaction would not occur by 
the end of the originally specified term.

At December 31, 2016, the Company does not expect to reclassify a material amount from accumulated other comprehensive 
income into interest income over the next twelve months for derivatives that will be settled.

The levels of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances can fluctuate significantly on a day-to-day 
basis, depending on funding needs and which sources are used to satisfy those needs. All such arrangements are considered 
typical of the banking and brokerage industries and are accounted for as borrowings.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature daily and are 
reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide 
additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities.

(1)  The interest rate on the Company’s long-term debt indexed to LIBOR is based on the 3-month LIBOR rate. The 3-month 

LIBOR rate was 1.00% and 0.61% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Outstanding FHLB advances are a mix of bullet and amortizing structures. Amortizing FHLB advances are amortized over 
periods ranging from 1.5 to 30 years, and have a balloon feature at maturity. Advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of 
eligible loans, subject to contractual adjustments which reduce the borrowing base, as well as a secondary pledge of FHLB 
stock and FHLB demand deposits, the amount of which can exceed the amounts borrowed based on contractually required 
adjustments. Total additional FHLB advances for both short-term borrowings and long-term debt at December 31, 2016 were 
$4.9 billion under the blanket floating lien including $1.5 billion from pledges of investment securities. The weighted average 
advance rate was 1.76% and 3.79% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Junior subordinated debt consists of a total of $120.1 million in Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures of the 
Company issued to statutory trusts that were funded by the issuance of floating rate capital securities of the trusts. The terms of 
the junior subordinated debt are 30 years, and they are callable at par by the Company any time after 5 years. Interest is payable 
quarterly and may be deferred at any time at the election of the Company for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods. During a 
deferral period, the Company is subject to certain restrictions, including being prohibited from declaring and paying dividends 
to its common shareholders.

(cid:20)(cid:21)(cid:19)

As of January 1, 2015, 75% of the Company's junior subordinated debt was excluded from Tier 1 capital for regulatory 
purposes. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company was subject to an additional 25% phase out of its junior subordinated debt 
from Tier 1 capital. As a result, 100% of the Company's junior subordinated debt is excluded from Tier 1 capital (but included 
in Tier 2 capital) at December 31, 2016. 

Advances and long-term debt at December 31, 2016 have maturities or call dates in future years as follows:

There was a balance payable of $2 million and a balance receivable of $13 million for federal and state income taxes at 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provision for federal income taxes differs from the amount computed by 
applying the federal income tax statutory rate of 35 percent on income before income tax expense as indicated in the following

The composition of other items resulting in a net tax benefit of $6.9 million for the year ending December 31, 2016 arose 
principally from completion of a study concluding existence of $6.5 million net unrealized built-in gains on the 2015 Florida 
Bank Group acquisition and $0.2 million of dividends on restricted stock. The Company recognized a $6.5 million deferred tax 
asset, a portion of which was claimed on the 2015 income tax return filed in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Net deferred tax asset

$

Net operating loss carryforwards arising from acquisitions during 2015 expire over a 20-year period and will be utilized subject 
to annual Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations. No benefit was recognized at acquisition for net operating losses that 
will expire unused due to the IRS limitations. 

The Company determined that the net deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized based on an assessment of all 
available positive and negative evidence and therefore no valuation allowance has been recorded as of December 31, 2016 or 
2015.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2016 and 2015 included approximately $21.9 million accumulated prior to January 1, 1987 
for which no provision for federal income taxes has been made. If this portion of retained earnings is used in the future for any 
purpose other than to absorb bad debts, it will be added to future taxable income.

The Company does not believe it has any unrecognized tax benefits included in its consolidated financial statements. The 
Company has not had any settlements in the current period with taxing authorities, nor has it recognized tax benefits as a result 
of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties in its 
consolidated financial statements, nor has it recorded a liability for interest or penalty payments.

Preferred Stock 

On August 5, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,200,000 depositary shares (the “Series B Depositary Shares”), each 
representing a 1/400th ownership interest in a share of the Company’s 6.625% Fixed-to-Floating Non-Cumulative Perpetual 
Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $1.00 per share, (“Series B Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation preference of $10,000 per 
share of Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to $25 per depositary share) which represents $80,000,000 in aggregate

Common Stock

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 950,000 shares of 
IBERIABANK Corporation's outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under this program will be made from time to 
time, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of these repurchases will depend on market 
conditions and other requirements. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar 
amount or number of shares, and the program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. During 
2016, the Company repurchased 202,506 common shares at a weighted average price of $57.61 per common share.

On December 7, 2016, the Company issued an additional 3,593,750 shares of its common stock at a price of $81.50 per 
common share. Net proceeds from the offering, after deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions, and direct issuance 
costs, were $279.2 million. 

(cid:20)(cid:21)(cid:23)

 
Regulatory Capital

The Company and IBERIABANK are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state 
banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional 
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated 
financial statements. Under capital adequacy regulations and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the 
Company and IBERIABANK, as applicable, must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their 
assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts 
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other 
factors.

On January 1, 2015, the Company and IBERIABANK became subject to revised capital adequacy standards of the BCBS to 
address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Certain provisions of the new rules will be phased in from that date to 
January 1, 2019.

The final rules:

•  Required that non-qualifying capital instruments, including trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual 

preferred stock, must be fully phased out of Tier 1 capital by January 1, 2016,

•  Established new qualifying criteria for regulatory capital, including new limitations on the inclusion of deferred tax 

assets and mortgage servicing rights,

•  Required a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%,
Increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio requirements from 4% to 6%,
• 
Implemented a new capital conservation buffer requirement for a banking organization to maintain a buffer composed 
• 
of CET1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% above the minimum CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total risk-based 
capital ratios in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and certain 
discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, with the buffer to be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 at 
0.625% and increasing annually until fully phased in at 2.5% by January 1, 2019. A banking organization with a buffer 
of less than the required amount would be subject to increasingly stringent limitations on certain distributions and 
payments as the buffer approaches zero, and
Increased capital requirements for past-due loans, high volatility commercial real estate exposures, and certain short-
term commitments and securitization exposures.

• 

Management believes that, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company and IBERIABANK met all capital adequacy 
requirements to which they are subject.

(cid:20)(cid:21)(cid:24)

 
As of December 31, 2016, the most recent notification from the FRB categorized IBERIABANK as well-capitalized under the 
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (the prompt corrective action requirements are not applicable to the 
Company). To be categorized as well-capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and 
Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that 
management believes have changed that categorization. The Company’s and IBERIABANK’s actual capital amounts and ratios 
as of December 31 are presented in the following table.

(1) Beginning January 1, 2016, minimum capital ratios are subject to a capital conservation buffer. In order to avoid limitations 
on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, an institution 
must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer is 
calculated as the lowest of the differences between the actual CET1 ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and Total Risk-
Based Capital ratio and the corresponding minimum ratios. At December 31, 2016, the required minimum capital conservation 
buffer was 0.625%, and will increase in subsequent years by 0.625% until it is fully phased in on January 1, 2019 at 2.50%. At 
December 31, 2016, the capital conservation buffers of the Company and IBERIABANK were 6.13% and 3.56%, respectively. 

Restrictions on Dividends, Loans and Advances

IBERIABANK is restricted under applicable laws in the payment of dividends to an amount equal to current year earnings plus 
undistributed earnings for the immediately preceding year, unless prior permission is received from the Commissioner of 
Financial Institutions for the State of Louisiana. Dividends payable by IBERIABANK in 2017 without permission will be 
limited to 2017 earnings plus an additional $191.0 million.

(cid:20)(cid:21)(cid:25)

Funds available for loans or advances by IBERIABANK to the Parent amounted to $187.9 million. In addition, any dividends 
that may be paid by IBERIABANK to the Parent would be restricted if IBERIABANK did not comply with the above-
described capital conservation buffer requirements and would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause IBERIABANK’s 
capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

During any deferral period under the Company’s junior subordinated debt, the Company would be prohibited from declaring 
and paying dividends to preferred and common shareholders. In addition, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or 
Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, we are prohibited from paying dividends on any of our common stock if the 
required payments on our Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock have not been made. See Note 14 to the 
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

NOTE 17 –EARNINGS PER SHARE

Share-based payment awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends before vesting are considered 
participating securities that are included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class 
method is an earnings allocation formula under which earnings per share is calculated for common stock and participating 
securities according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings, 
distributed and undistributed, are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to 
receive dividends.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the calculations for basic shares outstanding exclude the weighted 
average shares owned by the Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”) of 447,818; 607,608; and 625,555, respectively.

The effects from the assumed exercises of 155,969; 159,236; and 13,101 stock options were not included in the computation of 
diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, because such amounts would 
have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

NOTE 18 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has various types of share-based compensation plans that permit the granting of awards in the form of stock 
options, restricted stock, restricted share units, phantom stock and performance units. These plans are administered by the 
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which selects persons eligible to receive awards and determines the terms, 
conditions and other provisions of the awards. At December 31, 2016, awards of 2,456,052 shares could be made under 
approved incentive compensation plans. The Company issues shares to fulfill stock option exercises and restricted share units 
and restricted stock awards vesting from available authorized common shares. At December 31, 2016, the Company believes 
there are adequate authorized shares to satisfy anticipated stock option exercises and restricted share unit and restricted stock 
award vesting.

Stock option awards

The Company issues stock options under various plans 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.

The following table represents the compensation expense that is included in non-interest expense and related income tax 
benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income related to stock options for the years ended 
December 31:

At December 31, 2016, there was $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be 
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Restricted stock awards

The Company issues restricted stock under various plans for certain officers and directors. The restricted stock awards may not 
be sold or otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The holders of the restricted stock receive dividends and 
have the right to vote the shares. The compensation expense for these awards is determined based on the market price of the 
Company's common stock at the date of grant applied to the total number of shares granted and is recognized over the vesting 
period (generally three to seven years). As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, unrecognized share-based compensation associated 
with these awards totaled $16.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively. The unrecognized compensation cost related to 
restricted stock awards at December 31, 2016 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Restricted share units

In 2015, the Company issued restricted share units to certain of its executive officers. Restricted share units vest after the end of 
a three year performance period, based on satisfaction of the market and performance conditions set forth in the restricted share 
unit agreement. Recipients do not possess voting or investment power over the common stock underlying such units until 
vesting. The grant date fair value of these restricted share units is the same as the value of the corresponding number of shares 
of common stock, adjusted for assumptions surrounding the market-based conditions contained in the respective agreements. 
See Note 1 for further discussion of restricted share units with market or performance conditions.

$65.11 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.  The total fair value of restricted stock awards 
and restricted share units vested during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $10.7 million, $11.3 million, 
and $10.9 million, respectively.

Phantom stock awards

The Company issues phantom stock awards to certain key officers and employees. The awards are subject to a vesting period of 
five to seven years and are paid out in cash upon vesting. The amount paid per vesting period is calculated as the number of 
vested “share equivalents” multiplied by the closing market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the vesting 
date. Share equivalents are calculated on the date of grant as the total award’s dollar value divided by the closing market price 
of a share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Award recipients are also entitled to a “dividend equivalent” on 
each unvested share equivalent held by the award recipient. A dividend equivalent is a dollar amount equal to the cash 
dividends that the participant would have been entitled to receive if the participant’s share equivalents were issued in shares of 
common stock. Dividend equivalents are reinvested as share equivalents that will vest and be paid out on the same date as the 
underlying share equivalents on which the dividend equivalents were paid. The number of share equivalents acquired with a 
dividend equivalent is determined by dividing the aggregate of dividend equivalents paid on the unvested share equivalents by 
the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the dividend payment date.

Performance units

In 2016 and 2015, the Company issued performance units to certain of its executive officers. Performance units are tied to the 
value of shares of the Company's common stock, are payable in cash, and vest in increments of one-third per year after 
attainment of one or more performance measures. The value of performance units is the same as the value of the corresponding 
number of shares of common stock.

The following table indicates compensation expense recorded for phantom stock and performance units based on the number of 
share equivalents vested at December 31 of the years indicated and the current market price of the Company’s stock at that

(1)  Number of share equivalents includes all reinvested dividend equivalents for the years indicated.

(2) 

Except for share equivalents at the beginning of each period, which are based on the value at that time, and vested share 
payments, which are based on the cash paid at the time of vesting, the value of share equivalents is calculated based on 
the market price of the Company’s stock at the end of the respective periods. The market price of the Company’s stock 
was $83.75, $55.07 and $64.85 on December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

401(k) defined contribution plan

The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially all of its employees. Annual employer contributions to 
the Plan are set by the Board of Directors. The Company made contributions of $1.9 million, $1.7 million, and $1.5 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The Plan provides, among other things, that participants in 
the Plan be able to direct the investment of their account balances within the Profit Sharing Plan into alternative investment 
funds. Participant deferrals under the salary reduction election may be matched by the employer based on a percentage to be 
determined annually by the employer.

NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-balance sheet commitments

In the normal course of business, to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to credit related financial 
instruments, with risk not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. These financial instruments include commitments 
to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, 
elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The credit 
policies used for these commitments are consistent with those used for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company’s exposure 
to credit loss in the event of non-performance by its customers under such commitments or letters of credit represents the 
contractual amount of the financial instruments as indicated in the table below. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair value 
of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These amounts 
represent the unamortized fees associated with the guarantees and is included in “other liabilities” on the Company's 
consolidated balance sheets. This fair value will decrease as the existing commercial and standby letters of credit approach their 
expiration dates.

(cid:20)(cid:22)(cid:20)

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the Company had the following financial instruments outstanding and related 
reserves, whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

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. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, 
if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are 
commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Many of these types of commitments do not contain 
a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. See Note 6 for 
additional discussion related to the Company’s unfunded lending commitments.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of 
a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, 
including commercial paper issuance, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of 
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When necessary they are collateralized, 
generally in the form of marketable securities and cash equivalents.

Legal proceedings

The nature of the business of the Company’s banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, 
litigation, investigations, and legal and administrative cases and proceedings, which are considered incidental to the normal 
conduct of business. Some of these claims are against entities or assets of which the Company is a successor or acquired in 
business acquisitions. The Company has asserted defenses to these litigations and, with respect to such legal proceedings, 
intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in 
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

In July of 2016, a subsidiary of IBERIABANK received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. 
Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) requesting information on certain previously originated loans 
insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") as well as other documents regarding the subsidiary's FHA-related 
policies and practices.  The Company is cooperating with HUD and is in the process of responding to the subpoena.  Given the 
current status of the matter, the Company is unable to determine if its submission of the information requested will result in an 
additional information request by HUD and/or further proceedings by HUD or other government agencies. 

The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest 
information available. Where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably 
estimated, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or 
decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not 
estimable, the Company does not accrue legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based 
on information currently available, advice of counsel, and available insurance coverage, the Company’s management believes 
that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expected to have 
a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated 
cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the 
Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows.

As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the amount of losses associated with legal proceedings that it is reasonably 
possible to incur above amounts already accrued is not material.

NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

Recurring fair value measurements

The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most 
appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to estimate the fair value at the measurement date in 
the tables below. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a description of how fair value measurements 
are determined.

The tables above exclude the initial measurement of assets and liabilities that were acquired as part of the acquisitions 
completed in 2015. These assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value upon acquisition in accordance with U.S. 
GAAP and were not re-measured during the periods presented unless specifically required by U.S. GAAP. Acquisition date fair 
values represent either Level 2 fair value measurements (investment securities, property, equipment, and debt) or Level 3 fair 
value measurements (loans, OREO, deposits, and core deposit intangible assets).

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 310, the Company records certain loans considered impaired at their estimated 
fair value. 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 estimated fair value of the collateral for collateral-
dependent loans. Impaired loans with an unpaid principal balance of $125.5 million and $40.2 million were recorded at their 
fair value at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These loans are net of reserves and charge-offs of $32.0 
million and $8.5 million included in the Company's allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 
respectively.

The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a non-recurring 
basis during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Fair value option

The Company has elected the fair value option for certain originated residential mortgage loans held for sale, which allows for 
a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to hedge them without the 
burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has $12.7 million of mortgage loans held for 
investment for which the fair value option was elected upon origination and continue to be accounted for at fair value.

The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for 
mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value:

Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest income on 
loans held for sale in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Net gains (losses) resulting from the change in fair 
value of these loans that were recorded in mortgage income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income totaled 
$2.1 million and ($1.0 million) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The changes in fair value are 
mostly offset by economic hedging activities, with an insignificant portion of these changes attributable to changes in 
instrument-specific credit risk.

(cid:20)(cid:22)(cid:23)

NOTE 21 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated 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 Topic 825, Financial Instruments, 
excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Consequently, the 
aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The carrying amount and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial 
instruments are included in the tables below.  See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a description of how 
fair value measurements are determined.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based upon pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 
2016 and 2015. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value 
amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, 
therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

(cid:20)(cid:22)(cid:24)

NOTE 22 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may execute transactions with various related parties. These transactions are 
consummated at terms equivalent to the prevailing market rates and terms at the time.  Examples of such transactions may 
include lending or deposit arrangements, transfers of financial assets, services for administrative support, and other 
miscellaneous items.

The Company has granted loans to executive officers and directors and their affiliates. These loans, including the related 
principal additions, principal payments, and unfunded commitments are not material to the consolidated financial statements at 
December 31, 2016 and 2015. None of the related party loans were classified as non-accrual, past due, troubled debt 
restructurings, or potential problem loans at December 31, 2016 and 2015, with the exception of the loan discussed below. 

IBERIABANK and several other financial institutions have extended credit (the “Credit Facility”) under a multi-bank 
syndicated credit facility to Stone Energy Corporation (the “Borrower"). One of the Company’s directors, David H. Welch, is 
the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Borrower. IBERIABANK holds approximately 6 percent of the 
total commitments from twelve banks under the Credit Facility. On December 14, 2016, the Borrower filed for Chapter 11 
Bankruptcy with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Texas.  At the time of the filing, $341.5 million was 
outstanding under the Credit Facility.  Of this amount, approximately $20.3 million was outstanding and due to IBERIABANK. 
At December 31, 2016 and as of the date of this Report, the outstanding amount due IBERIABANK under the Credit Facility 
remained on non-accrual status.  On February 15, 2017, Borrower’s Second Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of 
Reorganization (the “Plan”) was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  Pursuant to the Plan, banks under the Credit Facility 
are to be allowed a claim in the aggregate principal amount of $341.5 million, which was the principal amount outstanding 
under the Credit Facility at the time of the bankruptcy filing. The Plan further provides that banks under the Credit Facility are 
to receive, on account of their prepetition claims, (i) their respective pro rata share of commitments and obligations owing with 
respect to outstanding loans under a new 4-year Reserve Based Lending Facility (the “Exit Facility”), and (ii) their respective 
pro rata share of prepetition cash as a partial repayment of such outstanding loans subject to re-borrowing to the extent 
permitted and pursuant to the terms of the Exit Facility held by such banks. As proposed under the Plan, the Exit Facility will 
differ from the Credit Facility with respect to the size of the facility and in certain other areas.  These differences include, but 
are not limited to (i) a reduction in the facility size to $200 million, (ii) a reduction in the borrowing base from $360 million to 
$200 million, and (iii) both the facility size and borrowing base being subject to further, ratable, reduction in the event of 
certain other occurrences. Definitive agreements with respect to the Exit Facility have yet to be finalized and so we are unable 
to provide further information regarding the Exit Facility at this time. As confirmed, the Plan proposes a full recovery to the 
banks under the Credit Facility of their prepetition claims, including IBERIABANK’s prepetition claim of approximately $20.3 
million. 

Deposits from related parties held by the Company were not material at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 23 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Each of the Company’s reportable operating segments serves the specific needs of the Company’s customers based on the 
products and services it offers. The reportable segments are based upon those revenue-producing components for which 
separate financial information is produced internally and primarily reflect the manner in which resources are allocated and 
performance is assessed.  Further, the reportable operating segments are also determined based on the quantitative thresholds 
prescribed within ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and consideration of the usefulness of the information to the users of the 
consolidated financial statements. 

The Company reports the results of its operations through three reportable segments: IBERIABANK, IMC, and LTC. The 
IBERIABANK segment represents the Company’s commercial and retail banking functions, including its lending, investment, 
and deposit activities. IBERIABANK also includes the Company’s wealth management, capital markets, and other corporate 
functions. The IMC segment represents the Company’s origination, funding, and subsequent sale of one-to-four family 
residential mortgage loans. The LTC segment represents the Company’s title insurance and loan closing services. 

Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific reportable segment are allocated to segments based on pre-determined 
methods that reflect utilization.  Also within IBERIABANK are certain reconciling items that translate reportable segment 
results into consolidated results. The following tables present certain information regarding our operations by reportable 
segment, including a reconciliation of segment results to reported consolidated results for the periods presented. Reconciling 
items between segment results and reported results include:

(cid:20)(cid:22)(cid:25)

•  Elimination of interest income and interest expense representing interest earned by IBERIABANK on interest-bearing 

checking accounts held by related companies, as well as the elimination of the related deposit balances at the 
IBERIABANK segment;

•  Elimination of investment in subsidiary balances on certain operating segments included in total and average segment 

assets; and

•  Elimination of intercompany due to and due from balances on certain operating segments that are included in total and 

average segment assets.

DIVI DE ND R ESTR I CTIO NS
The majority of the Company’s revenue is from dividends declared 
and paid to the Company by its subsidiary, IBERIABANK, which is 
subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends 
and other distributions it can pay. In addition, the Company and IBERIABANK are required to maintain capital at or above regulatory 
minimums and to remain “well-capitalized” under prompt corrective action regulations. The declaration and payment of dividends 
on the Company’s capital stock also are subject to contractual restrictions.  While the Company has Series B Preferred Stock and 
Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, the Company may not declare and pay a dividend on its common stock unless dividends on 
all such outstanding preferred stock have been declared and paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those 
dividends has been set aside.  See Long-Term Debt (Note 14) and Shareholder’s Equity, Capital Ratios and Other Regulatory Matters 
(Note 16) to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result 
of Operations – Funding Sources – Long-term Debt, for additional information.

The  graph  and  table  shown  here,  which

compares  the  cumulative  total  return  on 
our  Common  Stock  over  a  measurement 
period  beginning  December  31,  2011 
with  (i)  the  cumulative  total  return  on  the 
stocks  included  in  the  National  Association 
of  Securities  Dealers, 
Inc.  Automated 
Quotation  (“NASDAQ”)  Composite  Index 
and  (ii)  the  cumulative  total  return  on  the 
stocks included in the SNL greater than  $10 
Billion  Bank  Index.  All  of  these  cumulative 
returns are computed assuming the quarterly 
reinvestment  of  dividends  paid  during  the 
applicable period.
