Overview 

We  are  headquartered  in  Laredo,  Texas,  with  188  facilities  and  284  ATMs,  providing  banking  services  for 
commercial, consumer and international customers of north, south, central and southeast Texas and the State of Oklahoma. 
We  are  one  of  the  largest  independent  commercial  bank  holding  companies  headquartered  in  Texas.  We,  through  our 
Subsidiary Banks, are in the business of gathering funds from various sources and investing those funds in order to earn a 
return. We, either directly or through a Subsidiary Bank, own one insurance agency, a liquidating subsidiary, a fifty percent 
interest in an investment banking unit that owns a broker/dealer, a controlling interest in four merchant banking entities, 
and a majority ownership in a real-estate development partnership. Our primary earnings come from the spread between 
the interest earned on interest-bearing assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, we generate 
income from fees on products offered to commercial, consumer and international customers.  The sales team of each of 
our Subsidiary Banks aims to match the right mix of products and services to each customer to best serve the customer’s 
needs.  That process entails spending time with customers to assess those needs and servicing the sales arising from those 

3 

 
 
 discussions on  a  long-term  basis.   Our  Subsidiary  Banks  have various compensation plans,  including  incentive-based 
compensation, for fairly compensating employees.  Our Subsidiary Banks also have a robust process in place to review 
sales that support the incentive-based compensation plan to monitor the quality of the sales and identify any significant 
irregularities, a process that has been in place for many years. 

One of our primary goals is to grow net interest income and non-interest income while adequately managing 
credit risk, interest rate risk and expenses. Effective management of capital is one of our critical objectives. A key measure 
of the performance of a banking institution is the return on average common equity (“ROE”). Our ROE for the year ended 
December 31, 2019 was 9.97% as compared to 11.22% for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

We are very active in facilitating trade along the United States border with Mexico. We do a large amount of 
business with customers domiciled in Mexico and deposits from persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a large 
and stable portion of the deposit base of our Subsidiary Banks. The loan policies of our Subsidiary Banks generally require 
that loans to borrowers domiciled in foreign countries be primarily secured by assets located in the United States or have 
credit enhancements in the form of guarantees, from significant United States corporations. We also serve the growing 
Hispanic population through our facilities located throughout north, south, central and southeast Texas and the State of 
Oklahoma. 

Expense control is an essential element in our long-term profitability. As a result, we monitor the efficiency ratio, 
which  is  a  measure  of  non-interest  expense  to  net  interest  income  plus  non-interest  income  closely.  As  we  adjust  to 
regulatory changes related to the Dodd-Frank Act, including congressional efforts to revamp or reform it, our efficiency 
ratio may suffer because the additional regulatory compliance costs are expected to increase non-interest expense. We 
monitor this ratio over time to assess our efficiency relative to our peers. We use this measure as one factor in determining 
if we are accomplishing our long-term goals of providing superior returns to our shareholders.

Net Income 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by 5% compared to the same period of 2018.  Net 
interest income continues to be positively affected by an increase in net interest income due to a higher volume of loans 
and an increase in the overall yield on the portfolio.  Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 
can be primarily attributed to an increase in the cost of borrowings, and an increase in the interest paid on savings and time 
deposit accounts, which have increased because of the Federal Reserve Board actions to increase interest rates in 2019.  
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was negatively impacted by an increase in the provision for probable 
loan losses due to a charge-off of $7.5 million, net of tax, on a relationship that was secured by real property on which car 
dealerships are operated.  Net income for the year ended December 2018 increased by 37.2% compared to the same period 
of 2017.  Net income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was positively affected by a decrease 
in the provision for probable loan losses as a result of a decrease in the historical loss experience in the commercial category 
of the allowance for probable loan loss calculation.  As discussed in prior periods, charge-offs had increased due to the 
deterioration of one relationship that was secured by multiple pieces of transportation equipment beginning in the fourth 
quarter of 2014.  We use a three-year historical charge-off experience in the calculation, therefore, as those charge-offs 
began  to be  eliminated,  the  allowance  for probable  loan  losses  was  impacted.   As  fluctuations  occur in historical  loss 
factors, management evaluates the need to adjust the qualitative factors used in the calculation to properly reflect probable 
loan losses.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was also positively impacted by an increase in net interest 
income due to a higher volume of loans and an increase in the overall yield on the loan portfolio.  Interest expense increased 
for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 and can be attributed primarily to an increase 
in the cost of borrowings and an increase in the interest paid on savings and time deposit accounts, which have increased 
because of Federal Reserve Board actions to raise interest rates.  Net income for 2018 was also positively impacted by a 
decrease in the effective tax rate arising from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017, resulting 
in a decrease in income tax expense of approximately $38.6 million due to the decrease in the corporate tax rate from 35% 
to 21%.         

Net Interest Income 

Net interest income is the spread between income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the 
interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets, such as deposits, repurchase agreements and funds borrowed. Net 
interest income is our largest source of revenue. Net interest income is affected by both changes in the level of interest

The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net 
income and net interest margin. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 7.0% from 4.46% in 2018 to 4.77% 
in 2019, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 17.7% from 0.79% in 2018 to 0.93% in 2019. 
The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 12.3% from 3.97% in 2017 to 4.46% in 2018, and the rates paid on 
average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  38.6%  from  .57%  in  2017  to  .79%  in  2018.  The  majority  of  our  taxable 
investment securities are invested in mortgage backed securities and, during rapid increases or reduction in interest rates, 
the yield on these securities do not re-price as quickly as the loans.

(1)  The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute 
dollar amounts of the change in each. 

As part of our strategy to manage interest rate risk, we strive to manage both assets and liabilities so that interest 
sensitivities match. One method of calculating interest rate sensitivity is through gap analysis. A gap is the difference 
between the amount of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities that re-price or mature in a given 
time period. Positive gaps occur when interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, and negative 
gaps occur when interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed interest rate sensitive assets. A positive gap position in a period 
of rising interest rates should have a positive effect on net interest income as assets will re-price faster than liabilities. 
Conversely, net interest income should contract somewhat in a period of falling interest rates. Management can quickly 
change our interest rate position at any given point in time as market conditions dictate. Additionally, interest rate changes 
do  not  affect  all  categories  of  assets  and  liabilities  equally  or  at  the  same  time.  Analytical  techniques  we  employ  to 
supplement gap analysis include simulation analysis to quantify interest rate risk exposure. The gap analysis prepared by 
management is reviewed by our Investment Committee twice a year. The Investment Committee is comprised of certain 
members of the board of directors and senior managers of the various Subsidiary Banks. Management currently believes 
that we are properly positioned for interest rate changes; however, if management determines at any time that we are not 
properly positioned, we will strive to adjust the interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to manage the effect of 
interest rate changes. 

We have established guidelines for acceptable volatility of projected net interest income on the income simulation 
analysis and the guidelines are reviewed at least annually. As of December 31, 2019, in rising rate scenarios of +100, 
+200, +300 and +400 basis points, the guidelines established by management require that the net interest income not vary 
by more than plus or minus 15%, 15%, 15%, and 20%, respectively and in a decreasing rate scenario of -100 or -150 basis 
points,  that  the  net  interest  income  not  vary  by  more  than  plus  or  minus  15%.  At  December 31,  2019,  the  income

simulations show that a rate shift of -150, -100, +100, +200, +300 and +400 basis points in interest rates up will vary 
projected  net  interest  income  for  the  coming  12 month  period  by  -4.46%,  -3.07%,  +4.87%,  +8.89%,  +12.78%  and 
+16.48%, respectively. The basis point shift in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate risk and does 
not necessarily represent management’s current view of future market developments. We believe that we are properly 
positioned for a potential interest rate increase or decrease. 

Allowance for Probable Loan Loss 

The  following  table  presents  information  concerning  the  aggregate  amount  of  non-accrual,  past  due  and 

restructured domestic loans; certain loans may be classified in one or more categories:

Domestic loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis decreased at December 31, 2019 by 68% compared to the 
same  period  of  2018.    The  decrease  can  be  attributed  to one  commercial  loan  relationship  secured  by  equipment  and 
accounts receivable that is no longer on non-accrual.  Domestic loans contractually past due ninety days and still accruing 
increased at December 31, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 and can be attributed to a relationship that is secured 
by real property on which education centers are operated.   

The allowance for probable loan losses decreased 1.8% to $60,278,000 at December 31, 2019 from $61,384,000 
at December 31, 2018. The allowance was .87% of total loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2019 and .94% at 
December 31, 2018. The provision for probable loan losses charged to expense increased $12,731,000 to $18,843,000 for 
the year ended December 31, 2019 from $6,112,000 for the same period in 2018.  The increase can be primarily attributed 
to the charge-off of a relationship that is secured by multiple pieces of real property on which car dealerships are operated.  
The relationship began deteriorating in the fourth quarter of 2018, triggered by significant fraud by a high level insider of 
the car dealership resulting in the dealerships unexpectedly filing for bankruptcy and creating an exposure for potential 
loss  since  the  operations  of  the  dealership  were  the  source  of  repayment  from  the  borrower.    The  relationship  further 
deteriorated in the first quarter of 2019 after the sponsor of the court approved debtor in possession plan discontinued its 
role in the process and thus did not fulfill its obligation to assume full responsibility of the accrued and unpaid interest.  
Although the relationship is secured by real property (the dealerships’ real estate), the real property has specialized use, 
contributing to the potential exposure for probable loss.  During the first quarter of 2019, in light of the circumstances and 
management’s evaluation of the relationship, the decision was made to place the relationship on impaired, non-accrual 
status and place a specific reserve on the relationship in the amount of $9.5 million.  During the second quarter of 2019, 
management  continued  to  evaluate  the  relationship  and  decided  to  foreclose  on  the  underlying  real  estate  collateral, 
resulting in a charge-off of approximately $9.5 million.  The decrease in the provision for probable loan losses charged to 
expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 can be attributed to a decrease in the historical charge-off experience in 
the commercial category of the allowance for probable loan loss calculation.  As discussed in prior periods, charge-offs 
had increased due to the deterioration of one relationship that was secured by multiple pieces of transportation equipment 
beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014.  We use a three-year historical charge-off experience in the calculation, therefore, 
as those charge-offs began to be eliminated from the calculation, the allowance for probable loan losses was impacted.  As 
fluctuations occur in historical loss factors, management evaluates the need to adjust the qualitative factors used in the 
calculation to properly reflect probable loan losses.

The gross income that would have been recorded during 2019, 2018 and 2017 on non-accrual loans in accordance 
with  their  original  contract  terms  was  approximately  $340,000,  $1,119,000  and  $977,000  on  domestic  loans  and 
approximately  $0,  $0,  and  $0  on  foreign  loans,  respectively.  The  amount  of  interest  income  on  such  loans  that  was 
recognized in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $4,000, $4,000, and $4,000 on domestic loans and $0, $0, and $0 
for foreign loans, respectively. 

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or 
management  deems  the  collectability  of  the  principal  and/or  interest  to  be  in  question,  as  well  as  when  required  by 
applicable  regulatory  guidelines.  Interest  income  on  non-accrual  loans  is  recognized  only  to  the  extent  payments  are 
received or when, in management’s opinion, the creditor’s financial condition warrants reestablishment of interest accruals. 
Under special circumstances, a loan may be more than 90 days delinquent as to interest or principal and not be placed on 
non-accrual status. This situation generally results when a Subsidiary Bank has a borrower who is experiencing financial 
difficulties, but not to the extent that requires a restructuring of indebtedness. The majority of this category is composed 
of loans that are considered to be adequately secured and/or for which there has been a recent history of payments. When 
a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued, not paid, is reversed and charged to operations against interest 
income. 

Loan  commitments,  consisting  of  unused  commitments  to  lend,  letters  of  credit,  credit  card  lines  and  other 
approved loans, that have not been funded, were approximately $2,758,132,000 and $3,076,184,000 at December 31, 2019 
and 2018, respectively. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The allowance for probable loan losses primarily consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of the Subsidiary 

Banks. The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for probable loan losses. 

The Subsidiary Banks charge-off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well 
as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a “loss” by bank examiners. Commercial, financial and agricultural 
or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, (i) when an exposure 
beyond  any  collateral  coverage  is  apparent,  (ii) when  no  further  collection  of  the  portion  of  the  loan  so  exposed  is 
anticipated  based  on  actual  results,  (iii) when  the  credit  enhancements,  if  any,  are  not  adequate,  and  (iv) when  the 
borrower’s financial condition would so indicate. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when 90 days past 
due. As discussed in prior periods, charge-offs had increased due to the deterioration of one relationship that was secured 
by multiple pieces of transportation equipment beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014 and increased charge-offs for the 
twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  In March 2016, litigation against the management of 
the borrower was filed in the State of Nevada, resulting in a going concern issue with the borrower’s operations and the 
future use of the transportation equipment pledged as collateral on the relationship.  As a result, management, in accordance 
with its credit review procedures, re-evaluated the collateral values on the equipment in light of the new circumstances 
and reduced the collateral values accordingly, resulting in a further charge-down of the relationship of approximately $19.4 
million, which is included in the losses charged to the allowance in the commercial category in the table detailing the 
activity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.  The same relationship had been previously charged-down in 
the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.  Two recoveries on loans charged-off in prior years are included in the 
recoveries credited to the allowance in the table detailing activity for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The recoveries 
occurred in the first and third quarters of 2016 in the amounts of $4.4 million and $6 million, respectively, and are included 
in the Commercial and Commercial Real Estate: Other Construction and Land Development categories.  The increase in 
charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2015 in the Commercial category can be attributed to a charge-down of a 
relationship that is primarily secured by multiple pieces of transportation equipment.  The relationship was charged-down 
by $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. 

The  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  is  a  reserve  established  through  a  provision  for  probable  loan  losses 
charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable loan losses within the existing portfolio of 
loans.  Our  allowance  for  probable  loan  loss  methodology  is  based  on  guidance  provided  in  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No. 102,  “Selected  Loan  Loss  Allowance  Methodology  and  Documentation 
Issues”  and  includes  allowance  allocations  calculated  in  accordance  with  ASC  310,  “Receivables”  and  ASC  450, 
“Contingencies.”  Please  refer  to  Note 4—Allowance  for  Probable  Loan  Losses  in  the  accompanying  Notes  to  the 
consolidated Financial Statements. 

While our management considers that it is generally able to identify borrowers with financial problems reasonably 
early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no precise method of predicting loan losses. The

determination that a loan is likely to be uncollectible and that it should be wholly or partially charged-off as a loss is an 
exercise of judgment. Similarly, the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for probable loan losses can be made 
only on a subjective basis. Our management believes that the allowance for probable loan losses at December 31, 2019 
was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date. See Critical Accounting Policies on page 24. 
Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for probable loan losses 
change,  our  estimate  of  probable  loan  losses  could  also  change,  which  could  affect  the  level  of  future  provisions  for 
probable loan losses.

Total non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by 6.2% compared to the same period 
of 2018.  The decrease can be primarily attributed to a decrease in non-interest income from other investments due to the 
impairment of an equity investment of $3.7 million, net of tax as a result of a re-evaluation of the carrying value and losses 
on various equity investments in which we hold an ownership.  Non-interest income for the ended December 31, 2018 
increased  by  9.7%  compared  to  the  same  period  of  2017.    Other  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  was 
positively impacted by our share of income from a real estate development partnership in which we hold a majority interest.

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by 3.4% compared to the same period of 
2018.  Non-interest expense was impacted by an increase in costs of our compensation and benefit plans as a result of our 
continued review of those plans and necessary increases to remain competitive and compensate our staff based on their

performance,  as  well  as  an  increase  in  depreciation  expense  as  we  continue  to  invest  in  our  network  infrastructure, 
equipment  and  facilities.    Professional  fees  increased  in  2019  compared  to  the  same  period  of  2018  primarily  due  to 
ongoing costs related to strategic projects across our entities to enhance efficiencies and workflow.  Non-interest expense 
for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by 2.0% compared to the same period of 2017.  Non-interest expense for 
the year ended December 31, 2018 was negatively impacted by an increase in the cost of operations on other real estate 
owned and due to an increase in the specific reserve on a property as part of the re-evaluation of the carrying value of said 
property.   

Effects of Inflation 

The principal component of earnings is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest 
rates. Changes in rates of inflation affect interest rates. It is difficult to precisely measure the impact of inflation on net 
interest income because it is not possible to accurately differentiate between increases in net interest income resulting from 
inflation and increases resulting from increased business activity. Inflation also raises costs of operations, primarily those 
of employment and services.

Mortgage-backed  securities  are  securities  primarily  issued  by  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage  Corporation 
(“Freddie  Mac”),  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  (“Fannie  Mae”),  and  the  Government  National  Mortgage 
Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed by the 
U.S.  government.  Investments  in  mortgage-backed  securities  issued  by  Freddie  Mac  and  Fannie  Mae  are  not  fully 
guaranteed by the U.S. government; however, we believe that the quality of the bonds is similar to other AAA rated bonds 
with  limited  credit  risk, particularly  given  the  placement  of Fannie  Mae  and Freddie  Mac  into  conservatorship by  the 
federal government in 2008 and because securities issued by others that are collateralized by residential mortgage-backed 
securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are rated consistently as AAA rated securities.

On December 31, 2019, we had $141,049,000 (1.2% of total assets) in loans outstanding to borrowers domiciled 
in foreign countries, which included primarily borrowers domiciled in Mexico. The loan policies of our Subsidiary Banks 
generally require that loans to borrowers domiciled in foreign countries be primarily secured by assets located in the United 
States or have credit enhancements in the form of guarantees, from significant United States corporations. The composition 
of such loans and the related amounts of allocated allowance for probable loan losses as of December 31, 2019 and 2018

We offer a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. We rely primarily on our 
high-quality  customer  service,  sales  programs,  customer  referrals  and  advertising  to  attract  and  retain  these  deposits. 
Deposits provide the primary source of funding for our lending and investment activities, and the interest paid for deposits 
must be managed carefully to control the level of interest expense. Deposits at December 31, 2019 were $8,826,034,000,

an increase of 1.5% from $8,696,545,000 at December 31, 2018. Although deposits at December 31, 2019 increased from 
December  31,  2018  and  we  have  experienced  growth  in  deposits  over  the  last  few  years,  we  are  still  experiencing  a 
substantial  amount  of  competition  for  deposits  at  higher  than  market  rates.    As  a  result,  we  have  placed  a  focus  on 
maintaining certain deposit relationships, given the result of aggressive pricing by competitors.   

Other Borrowed Funds 

Other borrowed funds include FHLB borrowings which are short-term and long-term borrowings issued by the 
FHLB of Dallas and the FHLB of Topeka at the market price offered at the time of funding.  These borrowings are secured 
by residential mortgage-backed investment securities and a portion of our loan portfolio.  At December 31, 2019, other 
borrowed funds totaled $626,511,000, a decrease of 11.2% from $705,655,000 at December 31, 2018.  The decrease in 
borrowings can be attributed to an increase in cash arising from principal pay downs on available-for-sale debt securities 
and deposits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Liquidity 

The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides our Subsidiary Banks with the ability to meet potential depositor 
withdrawals,  provide  for  customer  credit  needs,  maintain  adequate  statutory  reserve  levels  and  take  full  advantage  of 
high-yield  investment  opportunities  as  they  arise.  Liquidity  is  afforded  by  access  to  financial  markets  and  by  holding 
appropriate amounts of liquid assets. Our Subsidiary Banks derive their liquidity largely from deposits of individuals and 
business entities. Other important funding sources for our Subsidiary Banks during 2019 and 2018 were borrowings from 
the FHLB, securities sold under repurchase agreements and large certificates of deposit, requiring management to closely 
monitor its asset/liability mix in terms of both rate sensitivity and maturity distribution. Our Subsidiary Banks have had a 
long-standing relationship with the FHLB and keep open, unused, lines of credit in order to fund liquidity needs. In the 
event that the FHLB indebtedness is not renewed, the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness would more than likely 
be repaid through proceeds generated from the sales of unpledged available-for-sale securities. We maintain a sizable, 
high quality investment portfolio to provide significant liquidity. These securities can be sold or sold under agreements to 
repurchase, to provide immediate liquidity. As in the past, we will continue to monitor the volatility and cost of funds in 
an attempt to match maturities of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and respond accordingly to anticipated fluctuations in 
interest rates over reasonable periods of time. 

Asset/Liability Management 

Our  funds  management  policy  has  as  its  primary  focus  the  measurement  and  management  of  the  Subsidiary 
Banks’ earnings at risk in the face of rising or falling interest rate forecasts. The earliest and most simplistic concept of 
earnings at risk measurement is the gap report, which is used to generate a rough estimate of the vulnerability of net interest

 income to changes in market rates as implied by the relative re-pricings of assets and liabilities. The gap report calculates 
the difference between the amounts of assets and liabilities re-pricing across a series of intervals in time, with emphasis 
typically placed on the one-year period. This difference, or gap, is usually expressed as a percentage of total assets. 

If an excess of liabilities over assets matures or re-prices within the one-year period, the statement of condition 
is said to be negatively gapped. This condition is sometimes interpreted to suggest that an institution is liability-sensitive, 
indicating that earnings would suffer from rising rates and benefit from falling rates. If a surplus of assets over liabilities 
occurs in the one-year time frame, the statement of condition is said to be positively gapped, suggesting a condition of 
asset sensitivity in which earnings would benefit from rising rates and suffer from falling rates. 

The gap report thus consists of an inventory of dollar amounts of assets and liabilities that have the potential to 
mature or re-price within a particular period. The flaw in drawing conclusions about interest rate risk from the gap report 
is that it takes no account of the probability that potential maturities or re-pricings of interest-rate-sensitive accounts will 
occur, or at what relative magnitudes. Because simplicity, rather than utility, is the only virtue of gap analysis, financial 
institutions increasingly have either abandoned gap analysis or accorded it a distinctly secondary role in managing their 
interest-rate risk exposure. 

The  net  interest  rate  sensitivity  at  December 31,  2019,  is  illustrated  in  the  following  table.  This  information 
reflects the balances of assets and liabilities whose rates are subject to change. As indicated in the table below, we are 
asset  sensitive  through  the majority of  the  time  periods  illustrated. The  table  shows the  sensitivity of  the  statement of 
condition at one point in time and is not necessarily indicative of the position at future dates.

The detailed inventory of statement of condition items contained in gap reports is the starting point of income 
simulation analysis. Income simulation analysis also focuses on the variability of net interest income and net income, but 
without the limitations of gap analysis. In particular, the fundamental, but often unstated, assumption of the gap approach 
that every statement of condition item that can re-price will do so to the full extent of any movement in market interest 
rates is taken into consideration in income simulation analysis. 

Accordingly,  income  simulation  analysis  captures  not  only  the  potential  of  assets  and  liabilities  to  mature  or 
re-price,  but  also  the  probability  that  they  will  do  so.  Moreover,  income  simulation  analysis  focuses  on  the  relative 
sensitivities of these balance sheet items and projects their behavior over an extended period of time in a motion picture 
rather than snapshot fashion. Finally, income simulation analysis permits management to assess the probable effects on 
balance sheet items not only of changes in market interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to such 
changes.  We  and  many  other  institutions  rely  primarily  upon  income  simulation  analysis  in  measuring  and  managing 
exposure to interest rate risk. 

We have established guidelines for acceptable volatility of projected net interest income on the income simulation 
analysis and the guidelines are reviewed at least annually. As of December 31, 2019, in rising rate scenarios of +100, 
+200, +300 and +400 basis points, the guidelines established by management require that the net interest income not vary

 by more than plus or minus 15%, 15%, 15%, and 20%, respectively and in a decreasing rate scenario of -100 or -150 basis 
points,  that  the  net  interest  income  not  vary  by  more  than  plus  or  minus  15%.  At  December 31,  2019,  the  income 
simulations show that a rate shift of -150, -100, +100, +200, +300 and +400 basis points in interest rates up will vary 
projected  net  interest  income  for  the  coming  12 month  period  by  -4.46%,  -3.07%,  +4.87%,  +8.89%,  +12.78%  and 
+16.48%, respectively. The basis point shift in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate risk and does 
not necessarily represent management’s current view of future market developments. We believe that we are properly 
positioned for a potential interest rate increase or decrease. 

All the measurements of risk described above are made based upon our business mix and interest rate exposures 
at  the  particular  point  in  time.  The  exposure  changes  continuously  as  a  result  of  our  ongoing  business  and  our  risk 
management initiatives. While management believes these measures provide a meaningful representation of our interest 
rate sensitivity, they do not necessarily take into account all business developments that have an effect on net income, such 
as changes in credit quality or the size and composition of the statement of condition. 

Our principal sources of liquidity and funding dividends from subsidiaries and borrowed funds, with such funds 
being used to finance our cash flow requirements. We closely monitor the dividend restrictions and availability from our 
Subsidiary Banks as disclosed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2019, the aggregate 
amount legally available to be distributed to us from our Subsidiary Banks as dividends was approximately $891,500,000, 
assuming that each Subsidiary Bank continues to be classified as “well-capitalized” under the applicable regulations in 
effect  at  December 31,  2019.  The  restricted  capital  (capital  and  surplus)  of  our  Subsidiary  Banks  was  approximately 
$1,217,735,000  as  of  December 31,  2019.  The  undivided  profits  of  our  Subsidiary  Banks  were  approximately 
$1,312,852,000 as of December 31, 2019.  

At December 31, 2019, we had outstanding $626,511,000 in other borrowed funds and $134,642,000 in junior 
subordinated  deferrable  interest  debentures.  In  addition  to  borrowed  funds  and  dividends,  we  have  a  number  of  other 
available alternatives to finance the growth of our Subsidiary Banks as well as future growth and expansion. 

Capital 

We  maintain  an  adequate  level  of  capital  as  a  margin  of  safety  for  our  depositors  and  shareholders.  At 
December 31,  2019,  shareholders’  equity  was  $2,118,053,000  compared  to  $1,939,582,000  at  December 31,  2018,  an 
increase of $178,471,000, or 9.2%. Shareholders’ equity increased primarily due to the retention of earnings, offset by the 
payment  of  cash  dividends  to  shareholders  and  repurchases  of  our  common  stock  in  the  form  of  treasury  stock.  The 
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the calculation of regulatory capital ratios. 

During 1990, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) adopted a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for the most highly 
rated bank holding companies and at least 4% to 5% for all other bank holding companies. Our leverage ratio (defined as 
shareholders’  equity  plus  eligible  trust  preferred  securities  issued  and  outstanding  less  goodwill  and  certain  other 
intangibles divided by average quarterly assets) was 16.65% at December 31, 2019 and 15.87% at December 31, 2018. 
The core deposit intangibles and goodwill of $282,532,000 as of December 31, 2019, are deducted from the sum of core 
capital elements when determining our capital ratios. 

The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet 
items. The guidelines also define and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). Under the final 1992 
rules, all banks are required to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4.0% of risk-weighted assets and total capital of 8.0% of 
risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity plus trust preferred securities issued and 
outstanding  less  goodwill  and  certain  other  intangibles,  while  total  capital  consists  of  Tier 1  capital,  certain  debt 
instruments and a portion of the reserve for loan losses. In order to be deemed well-capitalized pursuant to the regulations, 
an institution must have a total risk-weighted capital ratio of 10%, a Tier 1 risk-weighted ratio of 8% and a Tier 1 leverage 
ratio of 5%. We had risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratios of 19.80% and 19.06% and risk weighted total capital ratios of 
20.46%  and  19.74%  as  of  December 31,  2019  and  2018,  respectively,  which  are  well  above  the  minimum  regulatory 
requirements and exceed the well-capitalized ratios (see Note 20 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and other regulatory bodies established a new, 
comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations, consisting of minimum requirements that increase both 
the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. The final rules are a result of the implementation of the 
BASEL III capital reforms and various Dodd-Frank Act related capital provisions. Consistent with the Basel international 
framework, the rules include a new minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% 
and a CET1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.  The capital conservation buffer began phasing-
in on January 1, 2016 at .625% and increased each year until January 1, 2019, when we were required to have a 2.5% 
capital conservation buffer, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7% 
upon full implementation. The rules also raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% 
and  include  a minimum  leverage  ratio  of 4%  for  all  banking organizations.  Regarding the quality  of capital,  the rules 
emphasize CET1 capital and implements strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. The rules also improve 
the methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity.  Management believes, as of December 
31, 2019, that we and each of our Subsidiary Banks met all capital adequacy requirements of the fully phased-in the capital 
conservation buffer. 

On November 21, 2017, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the FRB and the FDIC finalized 
a proposed rule that extends the current treatment under the regulatory capital rules for certain regulatory capital deductions 
and risk weights and certain minority interest requirements, as they apply to banking organizations that are not subject to 
the advanced approaches capital rules.  Effective January 1, 2018, the rule also pauses the full transition to the Basel III 
treatment of mortgage servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets, investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial 
institutions and minority interests.  On December 7, 2017, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision unveiled the latest 
round of its regulatory capital framework, commonly called “Basel IV.”  The framework makes changes to the capital 
framework first introduced as “Basel III” in 2010.  The committee targeted 2022-2027 as the timeframe for implementation 
by regulators in individual countries, including the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies (after notice and comment). 

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures 

We have formed five statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, for the purpose of issuing 
trust preferred securities. These statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”) have each issued Capital and Common Securities 
and invested the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) that we 
issued.  As  of  December 31,  2019  and  December 31,  2018,  the  principal  amount  of  debentures  outstanding  totaled 
$134,642,000 and $160,416,000, respectively.  

The Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all of our present and future senior indebtedness 
(as defined in the respective indentures), and are pari passu with one another. The interest rate payable on, and the payment 
terms of the Debentures are the same as the distribution rate and payment terms of the respective issues of Capital and 
Common Securities issued by the Trusts. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of each of the 
Trusts with respect to the Capital and Common Securities. We have the right, unless an Event of Default (as defined in the 
Indentures) has occurred and is continuing, to defer payment of interest on the Debentures for up to twenty consecutive 
quarterly periods on Trusts VIII, IX, X, XI and XII. If interest payments on any of the Debentures are deferred, distributions 
on both the Capital and Common Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to 
maturity of any of the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or other regulatory bodies. 

For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts are treated as investments and not consolidated in the consolidated 
financial  statements.  Although  the  Capital  Securities  issued  by  each of  the Trusts  are  not  included  as  a  component  of 
shareholders’ equity on the consolidated statement of condition, the Capital Securities are treated as capital for regulatory 
purposes. Specifically, under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 
capital up to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital on an aggregate basis. Any amount that exceeds the 25% threshold 
would qualify as Tier 2 capital. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total $134,642,000 and $160,416,000 
of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 capital, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies 

We have established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles in the 
preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant subjective judgments and assumptions

by management which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers 
such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. 

We consider our allowance for probable loan losses as a policy critical to the sound operations of our Subsidiary 
Banks. The allowance for probable loan losses primarily consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of our Subsidiary 
Banks. The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for probable loan losses. 
Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The allowance for probable loan losses of 
each Subsidiary Bank is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management, based on estimated probable losses 
in the loan portfolio. The allowance is derived from the following elements: (i) allowances established on specific impaired 
loans, which are based on a review of the individual characteristics of each loan, including the customer’s ability to repay 
the loan, the underlying collateral values, and the industry in which the customer operates, (ii) allowances based on actual 
historical loss experience for similar types of loans in our loan portfolio, and (iii) allowances based on general economic 
conditions, changes in the mix of loans, company resources, border risk and credit quality indicators, among other things. 
See also discussion regarding the allowance for probable loan losses and provision for probable loan losses included in 
the results of operations and “Provision and Allowance for Probable Loan Losses” included in Notes 1 and 4 of the Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The loan loss provision is determined using the following methods. On a weekly basis, loan past due reports are 
reviewed by the credit quality committee to determine if a loan has any potential problems and if a loan should be placed 
on our internal classified report. Additionally, our credit department reviews the majority of our loans for proper internal 
classification purposes regardless of whether they are past due and segregates any loans with potential problems for further 
review. The credit department will discuss the potential problem loans with the servicing loan officers to determine any 
relevant issues that were not discovered in the evaluation. Also, an analysis of loans that is provided through examinations 
by regulatory authorities is considered in the review process. After the above analysis is completed, we will determine if 
a  loan  should  be  placed  on  an  internal  classified  report  because  of  issues  related  to  the  analysis  of  the  credit,  credit 
documents, collateral and/or payment history. 

Our internal classified report is segregated into the following categories: (i) “Special Review Credits,” (ii) “Watch 
List—Pass  Credits,”  or  (iii) “Watch  List—Substandard  Credits.”  The  loans  placed  in  the  “Special  Review  Credits” 
category reflect our opinion that the loans reflect potential weakness which require monitoring on a more frequent basis. 
The “Special Review Credits” are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis with the credit department and the lending 
staff to determine if a change in category is warranted. The loans placed in the “Watch List—Pass Credits” category reflect 
our opinion that the credit contains weaknesses which represent a greater degree of risk, which warrant “extra attention.” 
The “Watch List—Pass Credits” are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis with the credit department and the lending 
staff  to  determine  if  a  change  in  category  is  warranted.  The  loans  placed  in  the  “Watch  List—Substandard  Credits” 
classification are considered to be potentially inadequately protected by the current sound worth and debt service capacity 
of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These credit obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, 
have shown defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market or political conditions which 
may jeopardize repayment of principal and interest. Furthermore, there is the possibility that we may sustain some future 
loss if such weaknesses are not corrected. For loans that are classified as impaired, management evaluates these credits 
ASC 310-10, “Receivables,” and, if deemed necessary, a specific reserve is allocated to the credit. The specific reserve 
allocated  under  ASC  310-10,  is  based  on  (i) the  present  value  of  expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  loan’s 
effective interest rate; (ii) the loan’s observable market price; or (iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral 
dependent. Substantially all of our loans evaluated as impaired under ASC 310-10 are measured using the fair value of 
collateral  method. In  limited cases, we  may  use other  methods  to  determine  the specific  reserve of a  loan under ASC 
310-10 if such loan is not collateral dependent. 

The allowance based on historical loss experience on our remaining loan portfolio, which includes the “Special 
Review Credits,” “Watch List—Pass Credits,” and “Watch List—Substandard Credits” is determined by segregating the 
remaining loan portfolio into certain categories such as commercial loans, installment loans, international loans, loan 
concentrations  and  overdrafts.  A  historical  loss  percentage,  adjusted  for  (i) management’s  evaluation  of  changes  in 
lending policies and procedures, (ii) current economic conditions in the market area we serve, (iii) other risk factors, 
(iv) the effectiveness of the internal loan review function, (v) changes in loan portfolios, and (vi) the composition and 

23 

 concentration  of  credit  volume  is  applied  to  each  category.  Each  category  is  then  added  together  to  determine  the 
allowance allocated under ASC 450-20. 

Our management continually reviews the allowance for loan losses of our Subsidiary Banks using the amounts 
determined from the allowances established on specific loans, the allowance established on quantitative historical loss 
percentages, and the allowance based on qualitative data, to establish an appropriate amount to maintain our allowance for 
probable loan loss. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for 
probable loan losses change, our estimate of probable loan losses could also change, which could affect the level of future 
provisions for probable loan losses. 

Recent Accounting Standards Issued 

See  Note 1—Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies  in  the  accompanying  Notes  to  the  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements  for  details  of  recently  issued  and  recently  adopted  accounting  standards  and  their  impact  on  our 
consolidated financial statements. 

Preferred Stock, Common Stock and Dividends 

We have issued and outstanding 65,207,831 shares of $1.00 par value common stock held by approximately 1,886 
holders of record at February 24, 2020. The book value of the common stock at December 31, 2019 was $33.37 per share 
compared with $31.33 per share at December 31, 2018. In connection with our participation in the Troubled Asset Relief 
Program Capital Purchase Program in 2008, the US Treasury received a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,326,238 
shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at $24.43 per share. The term of the Warrant was ten years and was 
immediately exercisable. The Warrant was included as a component of Tier 1 capital. On June 12, 2013, the U. S. Treasury 
sold the Warrant to a third party. On September 19, 2018, we entered into an agreement to repurchase the Warrant from 
the third party at an aggregate purchase price of $29,005,000, which transaction was consummated in the third quarter of 
2018.  The  repurchase  of  the  outstanding  Warrant  eliminated  any  restrictions  on  certain  shareholder  distributions  or 
payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.33 per semi-annual period that would have impacted the exercise price of the 
Warrant while it remained outstanding.   

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “IBOC.” The following table 
sets forth the approximate high and low bid prices in our common stock during 2019 and 2018, as quoted on the NASDAQ 
National Market for each of the quarters in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019. Some of the quotations reflect 
inter-dealer  prices,  without  retail  mark-up,  mark-down  or  commission  and  may  not  necessarily  represent  actual 
transactions. The closing sales price of our common stock was $38.85 per share at February 24, 2020.

Stock Repurchase Program 

In  April  2009,  the  Board  of  Directors  re-established  a  formal  stock  repurchase  program  that  authorized  the 
repurchase of up to $40 million of common stock within the following 12 months.  Annually since then, including on 
March 11, 2019, the Board of Directors extended the repurchase program but in March 2019 authorized an increase to the 
repurchase program of up to $50 million of common stock during the 12 month period commencing on April 9, 2019. 
Stock repurchases may be made from time to time, on the open market or through private transactions. Shares repurchased 
in this program will be held in treasury for reissue for various corporate purposes, including employee stock option plans. 
During the fourth quarter of 2019, our Board of Directors adopted a Rule 10b5-1 plan and intends to adopt additional 
Rule 10b5-1  trading  plans  that  will  allow  us  to  purchase  shares  of  our  common  stock  during  certain  trading  blackout 
periods when we ordinarily would not be in the market due to trading restrictions in our internal trading policy. During the 
term of a 10b5-1 Plan, purchases of common stock are automatic to the extent the conditions of the 10b5-1 Plan’s trading 
instructions are met. Shares repurchased in this program will be held in treasury for reissue for various corporate purposes, 
including employee stock option plans. As of February 24, 2020, a total of 10,321,174 shares had been repurchased under 
all programs at a cost of $308,177,000. We are not obligated to repurchase shares under our stock repurchase program or 
to enter into additional Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing, actual number and value of shares purchased will depend on many 
factors, including our cash flow and the liquidity and price performance of our shares of common stock. 

Except for repurchases in connection with the administration of an employee benefit plan in the ordinary course 
of business and consistent with past practices, common stock repurchases are only conducted under publicly announced 
repurchase programs approved by the Board of Directors. The following table includes information about common stock 
share repurchases for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors  
of International Bancshares Corporation: 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of International Bancshares Corporation 
and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, 
comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 
2019, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, 
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 
2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We  have  also  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United States) (PCAOB),  the  Company's  internal  control over financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2019, based on 
criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the  Treadway  Commission  in  2013,  and  our  report  dated  February  27,  2020  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the 
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 

Basis for Opinion 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with 
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities 
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan 
and  perform  the  audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those 
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide 
a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matter 

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

Allowance for Probable Loan Losses 

As  described  in  Note  4  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  company  established  an  allowance  for 
probable loan losses totaling $60,278,000 as of December 31, 2019, derived from the following elements: (1) allowances 
established on specific impaired loans, which are based on a review of the individual characteristics of each loan, 

28 

 
 
 
 
 
 including the customer’s ability to repay the loan, the underlying collateral values, and the industry in which the customer 
operates; (2) allowances based on actual historical loss experience for similar types of loans in the loan portfolio; and (3) 
allowances  based  on  qualitative  factors  such  as  general  economic  conditions,  changes  in  the  mix  of  loans,  company 
resources,  border  risk  and  credit  quality  indicators,  among  other  things  (collectively,  “the  qualitative  factors”).  The 
qualitative  factors  considered  in  the  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  require  a  significant  amount  of  judgment  by 
management and involves a high degree of estimation. 

We identified the allowances derived from qualitative factors as a critical audit matter. Auditing management’s 
estimate of the allowances derived from qualitative factors required a high degree of auditor judgement due to the nature 
of the qualitative factors and the subjectivity in judgments applied by management in forming them.  

Our  audit  procedures  related  to  auditing  the  Company’s  allowances  derived  from  qualitative  factors  included  the 

following, among others: 

• We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the allowance for probable loan losses, including
allowances derived from qualitative factors, and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including
controls relating to management’s review of the qualitative factors and approval of the allowance calculation.

• We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s methods and assumptions used to determine allowances derived
from qualitative factors by (1) evaluating management’s identification and measurement of qualitative factors; (2)
testing the completeness and accuracy of data and information used in estimating the components of the qualitative
factors; (3) evaluating the reasonableness of the change to the general reserve as a result of the qualitative factors; and
(4) reviewing subsequent events and considering their impact on judgments as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and 

to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies. 

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation 

Our  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  International  Bancshares  Corporation,  its 
wholly-owned  Subsidiary  Banks  and  its  wholly-owned  non-bank  subsidiaries,  IBC  Trading  Company,  Premier  Tierra 
Holdings, Inc., IBC Charitable and Community Development Corporation, and IBC Capital Corporation.  All significant 
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

We, through our Subsidiary Banks, are primarily engaged in the business of banking, including the acceptance of 
checking and savings deposits and the making of commercial, real estate, personal, home improvement, automobile and 
other  installment  and  term  loans.  Our  primary  markets  are  north,  south,  central,  and  southeast  Texas  and  the  state  of 
Oklahoma. Each of our Subsidiary Banks is very active in facilitating international trade along the United States border 
with Mexico and elsewhere. Although our loan portfolio is diversified, the ability of our debtors to honor their contracts 
is primarily dependent upon the economic conditions in our trade area. In addition, the investment portfolio is directly 
impacted by fluctuations in market interest rates. We are subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies as well as 
the Texas Department of Banking and the Oklahoma Department of Banking and undergo periodic examinations by those 
regulatory authorities. Such agencies may require certain standards or impose certain limitations based on their judgments 
or changes in law and regulations. 

We  own  one  insurance-related  subsidiary,  IBC  Insurance  Agency, Inc.,  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  our 
Subsidiary  Bank,  International  Bank  of  Commerce,  Laredo.  The  insurance-related  subsidiary  does  not  conduct 
underwriting activities.  

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the statement of condition and income and expenses for the periods. 
Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from  those  estimates.  Material  estimates  that  are  particularly  susceptible  to 
significant changes in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for probable loan losses. 

Subsequent Events 

We have evaluated all events or transactions that occurred through the date we issued these financial statements. 

During this period, we did not have any material recognizable or non-recognizable subsequent events. 

Investment Securities 

We  classify  debt  securities  into  one  of  these  categories:  held-to-maturity,  available-for-sale,  or  trading.  Such 
classifications are reassessed for appropriate classification at each reporting date. Securities that are intended and expected 
to  be  held  until  maturity  are  classified  as  “held-to-maturity”  and  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  for  financial  statement 
reporting. Securities that are not positively expected to be held until maturity, but are intended to be held for an indefinite 
period of time are classified as “available-for-sale” or “trading” and are carried at their fair value. Unrealized holding gains 
and losses are included in net income for those securities classified as “trading”, while unrealized holding gains and losses 
related to those securities classified as “available-for-sale” are excluded from net income and reported net of tax as other 
comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. We 
did not maintain any trading securities during the three-year period ended December 31, 2019. 

Mortgage-backed  securities  held  at  December 31,  2019  and  2018  represent  participating  interests  in  pools  of 
long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by  the issuers of the securities. Mortgage-backed securities are 
either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 

38 

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

(“Freddie  Mac”),  the  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  (“Fannie  Mae”),  the  Government  National  Mortgage 
Association  (“Ginnie  Mae”)  or  other  non-government  entities.  Investments  in  residential  mortgage-backed  securities 
issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed by the U. S. government. Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities 
issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. government; however, we believe that the 
quality of the bonds is similar to other AAA rated bonds with limited credit risk, particularly given the placement of Fannie 
Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship by the federal government in 2008 and because securities issued by others that 
are collateralized by residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are rated consistently 
as AAA rated securities. Market interest rate fluctuations can affect the prepayment speed of principal and the yield on the 
security. 

Premiums and discounts are amortized using the level yield or “interest method” over the terms of the securities. 
Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for sale-securities below their cost that are deemed to be other 
than  temporary  are  reflected  in  earnings  as  realized  losses.  In  determining  whether  other-than-temporary  impairment 
exists, management considers many factors, including (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been 
less  than  cost,  (ii) the  financial  condition  and  near-term  prospects  of  the  issuer,  and  (iii) our  intent  to  hold  and  our 
determination of whether we will more likely than not be required to sell the security prior to a recovery in fair value. If 
we determine that (i) we intend to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the 
security before it’s anticipated recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings is equal to 
the difference between the fair value of the security and our amortized cost of the security. If we determine that we (i) do 
not intend to sell the security and (ii) we will not be more likely than not required to sell the security before it’s anticipated 
recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment is segregated into its two components (i) the amount of impairment related 
to credit loss and (ii) the amount of impairment related to other factors. The difference between the present value of the 
cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost is the credit loss recognized through earnings and an adjustment 
to the cost basis of the security. The amount of impairment related to other factors is included in other comprehensive 
income (loss). Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific 
identification method.  

Equity Securities 

Prior to January 1, 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values were included in available-for-
sale securities, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).  Pursuant 
to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are a separate component of our 
balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in net income.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair 
values at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consist primarily of Community Reinvestment Act funds. 

Provision and Allowance for Probable Loan Losses 

The allowance for probable loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to provide 
for  probable  loan  losses.  The  allowance  is  increased  by  provisions  charged  to  operating  expense  and  reduced  by  net 
charge-offs. The provision for probable loan losses is the amount, which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to 
establish the allowance for probable loan losses at a level that is adequate to absorb known and inherent risks in the loan 
portfolio. 

Management believes that the allowance for probable loan losses is adequate. While management uses available 
information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic 
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review 
our Subsidiary Banks’ allowances for probable loan losses. Such agencies may require our Subsidiary Banks to make 
additions or reductions to their GAAP allowances based on their judgments of information available to them at the time 
of their examination. 

The Subsidiary Banks charge-off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well 
as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a “loss” by bank examiners. Commercial, financial and agricultural 
or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, (i) when an exposure 
beyond  any  collateral  coverage  is  apparent,  (ii) when  no  further  collection  of  the  portion  of  the  loan  so  exposed  is 

39 

 
INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

anticipated  based  on  actual  results,  (iii) when  the  credit  enhancements,  if  any,  are  not  adequate,  and  (iv) when  the 
borrower’s financial condition would indicate so. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when 90 days past 
due. 

Loans 

Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned discounts. Interest income on loans is 
reported on an accrual basis. Loan fees and costs associated with originating the loans are accreted or amortized over the 
life of the loan using the interest method. We originate mortgage loans that may subsequently be sold to an unaffiliated 
third party. The loans are not securitized and if sold, are sold without recourse. Loans held for sale are carried at cost and 
the principal amount outstanding is not significant to the consolidated financial statements. 

Impaired Loans 

Impaired loans are those loans where it is probable that all amounts due according to contractual terms of the loan 
agreement will not be collected. Impaired loans are measured based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows 
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral 
if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all our impaired loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral. In 
limited  cases,  we  may  use  other  methods  to  determine  the  level  of  impairment  of  a  loan  if  such  loan  is  not  collateral 
dependent. 

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans 

Troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”) are those loans where, for reasons related to a borrower’s difficulty to 
repay a loan, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not normally consider in the normal course of business. 
The original terms of the loan are modified or restructured. The terms that may be modified include a reduction in the 
original stated interest rate, an extension of the original maturity of the loan, a renewal of the loan at an interest rate below 
current market rates, a reduction in the principal amount of debt outstanding, a reduction in accrued interest or deferral of 
interest payments. A loan classified as a TDR is classified as an impaired loan and included in the impaired loan totals. A 
TDR  loan  may  be  returned  to  accrual  status  when  the  loan  is  brought  current,  has  performed  in  accordance  with  the 
restructured  terms  for  a  reasonable  period  of  time,  is  at  the  current  market  rate,  and  the  ultimate  collectability  of  the 
outstanding principal and interest is no longer questionable, however, although those loans may be placed back on accrual 
status, they will continue to be classified as impaired. Consistent with regulatory guidance, a TDR loan that is subsequently 
modified, but has shown sustained performance and classification as a TDR, will be removed from TDR status provided 
that the modified terms were market-based at the time of modification. 

Non-Accrual Loans 

The  non-accrual  loan  policy  of  our  Subsidiary  Banks  is  to  discontinue  the  accrual  of  interest  on  loans  when 
management determines that it is probable that future interest accruals will be un-collectible. As it relates to consumer 
loans, management charges-off those loans when the loan is contractually 90 days past due. Under special circumstances, 
a consumer or non-consumer loan may be more than 90 days delinquent as to interest or principal and not be placed on 
non-accrual status. This situation generally results when a Subsidiary Bank has a borrower who is experiencing financial 
difficulties, but not to the extent that requires a restructuring of indebtedness. The majority of this category is composed 
of loans that are considered to be adequately secured and/or for which there are expected future payments. When a loan is 
placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued, not paid is reversed and charged to operations against interest income. 
As  it  relates  to  non-consumer  loans  that  are  not  90 days  past  due,  management  will  evaluate  each  of  these  loans  to 
determine if placing the loan on non-accrual status is warranted. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only 
to  the  extent  payments  are  received  or  when,  in  management’s  opinion,  the  debtor’s  financial  condition  warrants 
reestablishment of interest accruals.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets 

Other real estate owned is comprised of real estate acquired by foreclosure and deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Other 
real estate is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair value less estimated costs to sell such 
property (as determined by independent appraisal). Prior to foreclosure, the value of the underlying loan is written down 
to the fair value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for probable loan losses, if necessary. Any 
subsequent write-downs are charged against other non-interest expense through a valuation allowance. Other real estate 
owned totaled approximately $71,103,000 and $57,344,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other real estate 
owned is included in other assets.  Repossessed assets consist primarily of non-real estate assets acquired by foreclosure.  
Prior to foreclosure, the value of the underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the asset to be repossessed by a 
charge to the allowance for probable loan losses, if necessary.  Repossessed assets are included in other assets on the 
consolidated financial statements and totaled approximately $7,137,000 and $6,454,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 
respectively. 

Bank Premises and Equipment 

Bank  premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is  computed  on 
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged 
to operations as incurred and expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.   We primarily own all the property 
we occupy, with the exception of certain branches operating in grocery store or retail shopping centers and certain ATM 
locations, which are all under operating leases as classified under guidance prior to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, “Leases.”  
We adopted the guidance in ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and recorded a right of use asset and a lease liability of 
approximately $6.4 million.  The right of use asset and lease liability are included in other assets and other liabilities, 
respectively, in our consolidated financial statements. 

Other Investments 

Other investments include equity investments in non-financial companies, as well as equity securities with no 
readily determinable fair market value. Equity investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity 
securities with no readily determinable fair value are accounted for using the cost method. 

Cash Surrender Value of Bank Owned Life Insurance 

Cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance includes investments in cash value insurance policies to assist 
with financing employee compensation and benefit programs.  The cash value of the underlying policies accumulates on 
a tax-free basis and is received through death proceeds, which are also tax-free.  The earnings on the policies are derived 
from the investment portfolio returns of the individual insurance carriers for general account policies and on the returns 
on investments segregated in our name for separate account policies.     

Revenue Recognition 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-09 to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers.”  Since our revenue is primarily comprised of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which 
were excluded from the scope of the update, the remaining non-interest revenue streams were identified and then analyzed 
under the provisions of the update, to:  (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligation, (iii) determine the 
transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when the 
performance obligation was satisfied.  Our non-interest revenue contracts with customers are primarily short term and our 
performance obligation is satisfied at a single point in time, typically within a single period.  No changes to our existing 
methods for recognizing revenue were made as a result of the update. 

41 

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

Income Taxes 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, 
the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax 
basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. We 
file a consolidated federal income tax return with our subsidiaries. 

Recognition  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  based  on  management’s  assessment  that  the  benefit  related  to  certain 
temporary differences, tax operating loss carry forwards, and tax credits are more likely than not to be realized. A valuation 
allowance is recorded for the amount of the deferred tax items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will 
not be realized. 

We evaluate uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period. We may recognize the tax benefit from 
an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the 
taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from 
any such a position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized 
upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, after evaluating all uncertain tax positions, we 
have recorded no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the reporting period. We would recognize any interest 
accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as other interest expense and penalties as other non-interest expense. During the 
years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, we recognized no interest expense or penalties related to uncertain tax 
positions. 

We file consolidated tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are no longer 

subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. 

Stock Options 

Compensation expense for stock awards is based on the market price of the stock on the measurement date, which 
is generally the date of grant, and is recognized ratably over the service period of the award. The fair value of stock options 
granted  was  estimated  using  the  Black-Sholes-Merton  option-pricing  model.  This  model  was  developed  for  use  in 
estimating the fair value of publicly traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Additionally, 
the model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because our employee stock options have characteristics 
significantly different from those of publicly traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can 
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model does 
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our stock options. 

Net Income Per Share 

Basic  Earnings  Per  Share  (“EPS”)  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  income  by  the  weighted  average  number  of 
common  shares  outstanding.  The  computation  of  diluted  EPS  assumes  the  issuance  of  common  shares  for  all  dilutive 
potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of stock options is considered in 
earnings per share calculations, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. 

Goodwill and Identified Intangible Assets 

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested for 
impairment at least annually or on an interim basis if an event triggering impairment may have occurred. As of October 1, 
2019, after completing goodwill testing, we have determined that no goodwill impairment exists. 

Identified intangible assets are acquired assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill 
because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or 
in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Our identified intangible assets relate to core deposits and contract 
rights.  As  of  December 31,  2019,  we  have  determined  that  no  impairment  of  identified  intangibles  exists.  Identified 

42 

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated life. See Note 6—
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are 
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not 
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset 
to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset 
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of 
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the statement of 
condition and reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The 
assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset 
and liability sections of the statement of condition. 

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider all short-term investments with a maturity 
at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Also, we report transactions related to deposits and loans 
to customers on a net basis. 

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets 

We  account  for  transfers  and  servicing  of  financial  assets  and  extinguishments  of  liabilities  based  on  the 
application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. After a transfer of financial assets, we recognize 
the financial and servicing assets we control and liabilities we have incurred, derecognize financial assets when control 
has  been  surrendered  and  derecognize  liabilities  when  extinguished.  We  have  retained  mortgage  servicing  rights  in 
connection with the sale of mortgage loans. Because we may not initially identify loans as originated for resale, all loans 
are  initially  treated  as  held  for  investment.  The  value  of  the  mortgage  servicing  rights  are  reviewed  periodically  for 
impairment and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing 
losses. The value of the mortgage servicing rights is not significant to the consolidated statements of condition. 

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information 

We  operate  as  one  segment.  The  operating  information  used  by  our  chief  executive  officer  for  purposes  of 
assessing performance and making operating decisions is the consolidated financial statements presented in this report. 
We have five active operating subsidiaries, namely, the Subsidiary Banks. We apply the provisions of ASC Topic 280, 
“Segment Reporting,” in determining our reportable segments and related disclosures. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) 

Comprehensive  income  (loss)  consists  of  net  income  and  other  comprehensive  income  (loss).  Other 

comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. 

Advertising 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. 

Reclassifications 

Certain amounts in the prior year’s presentations have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. 

These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

New Accounting Standards 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 to ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers.”  The update sets a common standard that defines revenue and the principles for recognizing revenue.  
The update outlines when an entity should recognize revenue, among other matters.  At its core, the update states 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 to in exchange for those goods or services.  The update also 
outlines the steps that entities should take to determine and record the current revenue number including:  (i) identify the 
contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, 
(iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) 
the entity satisfies the identified performance obligations in the contract(s).  The update was originally effective for annual 
periods beginning after December 31, 2016 and the interim periods within that reporting period.  In August 2015, the 
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year 
to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  On January 1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of ASU 
2014-09 to ASC 606.  Our revenue is primarily comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, 
which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASC 606. We have evaluated the impact of the accounting standards update 
on certain other non-interest revenue streams that the provisions of the update apply to and has determined that the adoption 
of the new provisions to ASC 606 did not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements or operations. 

In  January  2016,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2016-01  to  ASC  825-10,  “Financial 
Instruments – Overall.”  The update amends existing standards regarding certain aspects of recognition and measurement 
of financial assets and financial liabilities.  The amendments in the update establish the following guidance:  (i) requires 
equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation 
of  the  investee,  to  be  measured  at  fair  value  with  changes  in  fair  value  recognized  in  net  income,  (ii)  simplifies  the 
impairment assessment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment, 
(iii) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities 
that are not public business entities, (iv) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods 
and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured 
at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (v) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring 
fair value for disclosure purposes, (vi) requires an entity to present separately, in other comprehensive income, the portion 
of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the 
entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option, (vii) requires separate 
presentation of financial assets and liabilities  by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet 
or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and (viii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need to a 
valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other 
deferred tax assets.  The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  On January 
1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-01 The main effect resulting from the adoption of the new standards is 
that beginning on January 1, 2018, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are now reported in a single line 
item on the face of our consolidated statement of condition under the caption, “Equity securities with readily determinable 
fair values.” Additionally, the changes in fair value of the equity securities is now recognized in net income and is included 
in  other  non-interest  expense  on  the  face  of  our  consolidated  income  statement.  Prior  to  January  1,  2018,  the  equity 
securities  were  classified  as  available-for-sale  and  stated  at  fair  value  with  unrealized  gains  and  losses  included  in 
accumulated comprehensive income, net of tax and had a net unrealized loss of $189,000. Other equity securities without 
readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less any impairment, if any, and included in other investments in our 
consolidated financial statements.     

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2016-02  to  ASC  820,  “Leases.”    The 
update amends existing standards for accounting for leases by lessees, with accounting for leases by lessors remaining 
mainly unchanged from current guidance.  The update requires that lessees recognize a lease liability and a right of use 
asset  for  all  leases  (with  the  exception  of  short-term  leases)  at  the  commencement  date  of  the  lease  and  disclose  key 
information about leasing arrangements.  The update is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for leases existing 
at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.  
The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  In January 2018, the FASB 
issued a proposal that provides an additional transition method that would allow entities to not apply the guidance in the 

44 

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

update in the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, but instead recognize a cumulative-
effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.  On January 1, 2019, we adopted 
the provisions of ASU 2016-02, “Leases.”  As part of our business model, we primarily own all property we occupy, with 
the exception of certain branches operating in grocery stores or shopping centers and certain ATM locations that were 
classified as operating leases under previous guidance.    The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on 
our consolidated financial statements.  As of the date of adoption, we recorded a right of use asset and a lease liability of 
approximately $6.4 million.  The right of use asset and lease liability are included in other assets and other liabilities, 
respectively, on our consolidated statement of condition.  Amortization of the right of use asset for the twelve months 
ended  December  31,  2019  was  approximately  $1,019,000  and  is  included  as  a  part  of  occupancy  expense  in  our 
consolidated income statement. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 to ASC 326, “Financial Instruments 
– Credit Losses.”  The update amends existing standards for accounting for credit losses for financial assets.  The update 
requires that the expected credit losses on the financial instruments held as of the end of the period being reported be 
measured based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  The update also 
expands the required disclosures related to significant estimates and judgements used in estimating credit losses, as well 
as  the  credit  quality  and  underwriting  standards  of  an  organization’s  financial  assets.    The  update  also  amends  the 
accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.  
The impact of the adoption of the standard is to be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of 
the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.  The accounting standard was effective for us 
on January 1, 2020.  The task force formed last year, which includes key members of the teams that work with the current 
calculation  of  the  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  with  members  representing  the  corporate  accounting  and  risk 
management areas has continued to work with the implementation of the update.  Implementation activities and decisions 
have been reached around key data needed for the new calculation including portfolio segmentation.  Validation of our 
primary model/tool is substantially completed and ongoing activities around forecasting models and documentation of the 
process are substantially complete.  We have completed a parallel run of the calculation against our current methodology.  
Based on the current portfolio, including its current composition, characteristics and credit quality, as well as the current 
economic conditions and forecasts, we believe that the adoption of the update will increase our allowance for probable 
loan losses between approximately 2 and 6%.   

In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2017-04  to  ASC  350,  “Intangibles  – 
Goodwill and Other.”  The update amends existing guidance in evaluating goodwill for impairment.  The update requires 
that an entity perform its annual or interim goodwill test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying 
amount, with any impairment charges being recognized as the difference between the fair value and carrying value.  The 
update is intended to standardize the impairment test for all business entities and also reduce the complexity and cost of 
evaluating goodwill for impairment.  The update is effective for any annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal 
years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The adoption of the update is not expected to have a significant impact to our 
consolidated financial statements. 

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2017-08  to  ASC  310,  “Receivables  – 
Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs.”    The  update  amends  existing  guidance  on  the  amortization  period  for  certain 
callable debt securities held at a premium.  The update shortens the amortization period of the premium to the earliest call 
date.  The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.  The update is to be applied on a modified 
retrospective  basis  through  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to  retained  earnings  as  of  the  beginning  of  the  period  of 
adoption.  The adoption of the update did not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02 to ASC 220, “Income Statement 
– Reporting Comprehensive Income.”  The update amends current guidance surrounding the reclassification of certain tax 
effects from accumulated other comprehensive income.  The update is being issued as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and 
Jobs Act and the related impact to comprehensive income as a result of the application of current guidance with respect to 
changes  in  tax  rates.    Under  current  guidance,  entities  must  re-evaluate  the  carrying  value  of  deferred  tax  assets  and 
liabilities and adjust them for the tax effect of the rate change and record that change through earnings.  The result is that 
the tax effects for items that normally would only be recognized in comprehensive income will be recognized through 
earnings and results in stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the impact of the rate 

45

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

change.  The update will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings 
for the stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The update is effective for all entities for fiscal 
years beginning after December 31, 2018.  We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-02 to ASC 220 in the second quarter 
of 2018. We recorded a one-time reclassification of $5,997,000 between accumulated comprehensive income (loss) and 
retained earnings as a result of the adoption of the accounting standards update. 

In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2018-13  to  ASC  820,  “Fair  Value 
Measurement.”  The update amends the existing guidance surrounding the disclosure of certain fair value measurements.  
The  update  removes  certain disclosures  that  are  no  longer  considered  cost  beneficial, modifies  and, in  some  instances 
clarifies, the specific requirements of certain disclosures and adds disclosure requirements that are identified relevant.  The 
update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The adoption of the update is not expected to have 
a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. 

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 to ASC 740, “Income Taxes.”  
The update amends existing guidance with the intention of simplifying the accounting for income taxes.  Specifically, the 
update  removes  some  exceptions  in  existing  guidance  around  intraperiod  tax  allocations,  recognition  of  deferred  tax 
liabilities for certain changes in investments in foreign subsidiaries and to the general methodology for calculating taxes 
on interim periods when year to date losses exceed the anticipated loss for the year.  Additionally, the update clarifies and 
provides more guidance with respect to the classification of franchise or similar taxes, requirements to evaluate when a 
step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered, eliminates the requirement that a consolidated entity allocate a 
portion of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax, requires that an entity reflect the 
effect  of  changes  in  tax  laws  and  tax  rates  in  the  effective  tax  rate  computed  in  the  interim  period  that  includes  the 
enactment date and makes minor changes for taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified 
affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method.  The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2020.  The adoption of the update is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial 
statements.

Included  in  the  carrying  value  of  residential  mortgage-  backed  securities  are  $501,293  of  mortgage-backed  securities  issued  by  Ginnie  Mae, 
$2,721,717 of mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac  

Residential  mortgage-backed  securities  are  securities  issued  by  Freddie  Mac,  Fannie  Mae,  Ginnie  Mae  or 
non-government entities. Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed 
by the U.S. government. Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not fully 
guaranteed by the U.S. government; however, we believe that the quality of the bonds is similar to other AAA rated bonds 
with  limited  credit  risk, particularly  given  the  placement  of Fannie  Mae  and Freddie  Mac  into  conservatorship by  the 
federal government in early September 2008 and because securities issued by others that are collateralized by residential 
mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are rated consistently as AAA rated securities. 

The  amortized  cost  and  fair  value  of  available  for  sale  investment  securities  pledged  to  qualify  for  fiduciary 
powers,  to  secure  public  monies  as  required  by  law,  repurchase  agreements  and  short-term  fixed  borrowings  was 
$856,135,000 and $855,141,000, respectively, at December 31, 2019. 

Proceeds from the sale and call of securities available-for-sale were $94,585,000, $59,782,000 and $396,066,000 
during  2019,  2018  and  2017,  respectively,  which  amounts  included  $0,  $0  and  $377,756,000  of  mortgage-backed

realized on the sales in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The unrealized losses on investments in residential mortgage-backed securities are primarily caused by changes 
in market interest rates. Residential mortgage-backed securities are primarily securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie 
Mae and Ginnie Mae. The contractual cash obligations of the securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed by the 
U.S. government. The contractual cash obligations of the securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not fully 
guaranteed by the U.S. government; however, we believe that the quality of the bonds is similar to other AAA rated bonds 
with  limited  credit  risk, particularly  given  the  placement  of Fannie  Mae  and Freddie  Mac  into  conservatorship by  the 
federal government in early September 2008 and because securities issued by others that are collateralized by residential 
mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are rated consistently as AAA rated securities. The 
decrease in fair value on residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae is 
due to market interest rates. We have no intent to sell and more likely than not be required to sell before a market price 
recovery or maturity of the securities; therefore, it is our conclusion that the investments in residential mortgage-backed 
securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. The 
unrealized losses on investments in other securities are caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. The underlying cash 
obligations  of  the  securities  are  guaranteed  by  the  entity  underwriting  the  debt  instrument.  We  believe  that  the  entity 
issuing the debt will honor its interest payment schedule, as well as the full debt at maturity. We purchased the securities 
for their economic value. The decrease in fair value is primarily due to market interest rates and not other factors, and 
because we have no intent to sell and will more likely than not be required to sell before a market price recovery or maturity 
of the securities, it is our conclusion that the investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. 

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values consist primarily of Community Reinvestment Act funds. 
At  December  31,  2019  and  December  31,  2018,  the  balance  in  equity  securities  with  readily  determinable  fair  values

(4) Allowance for Probable Loan Losses 

The allowance for probable loan losses primarily consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of the Subsidiary 
Banks. The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for probable loan losses. 
Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The allowance for probable loan losses of 
each Subsidiary Bank is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management, based on estimated probable losses 
in  the  loan  portfolio.  The  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  is  derived  from  the  following  elements:  (i) allowances 
established on specific impaired loans, which are based on a review of the individual characteristics of each loan, including 
the customer’s ability to repay the loan, the underlying collateral values, and the industry in which the customer operates, 
(ii) allowances  based  on  actual  historical  loss  experience  for  similar  types  of  loans  in  our  loan  portfolio,  and 
(iii) allowances based on general economic conditions, changes in the mix of loans, company resources, border risk and 
credit quality indicators, among other things.  

Our management continually reviews the allowance for loan losses of the Subsidiary Banks using the amounts 
determined from the allowances established on specific impaired loans, the allowance established on quantitative historical

loss  percentages,  and  the  allowance  based  on  qualitative  data  to  establish  an  appropriate  amount  to  maintain  in  our 
allowance for probable loan losses. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of 
the allowance for probable loan losses change, our estimate of probable loan losses could also change, which could affect 
the level of future provisions for probable loan losses. While the calculation of the allowance for probable loan losses 
utilizes management’s best judgment and all information available, the adequacy of the allowance is dependent on a variety 
of factors beyond our control, including, among other things, the performance of the entire loan portfolio, the economy, 
changes in interest rates and the view of regulatory authorities towards loan classifications. 

The loan loss provision is determined using the following methods. On a weekly basis, loan past due reports are 
reviewed by the credit quality committee to determine if a loan has any potential problems and if a loan should be placed 
on our internal classified report. Additionally, our credit department reviews the majority of our loans for proper internal 
classification purposes regardless of whether they are past due and segregates any loans with potential problems for further 
review. The credit department will discuss the potential problem loans with the servicing loan officers to determine any 
relevant issues that were not discovered in the evaluation. Also, an analysis of loans that is provided through examinations 
by regulatory authorities is considered in the review process. After the above analysis is completed, we will determine if 
a  loan  should  be  placed  on  an  internal  classified  report  because  of  issues  related  to  the  analysis  of  the  credit,  credit 
documents, collateral and/or payment history. 

World  and  U.S.  economic  conditions  have  continued  to  improve;  however,  there  remains  some  uncertainty 
created by continued issues with negative demographic trends, weak labor participation rates, enormous government debt, 
excessive regulations, and unfunded entitlement programs that could create a financial crisis.  The impact to the world and 
U.S. economy from these issues is being magnified by a lack of appropriate government action to find solutions to the 
problems.    Economic  risk  factors  are  minimized  by  the  underwriting  standards  of  the  Subsidiary  Banks.  The  general 
underwriting standards encompass the following principles:  (i) the financial strength of the borrower including strong 
earnings,  a  high  net  worth,  significant  liquidity  and  an  acceptable  debt  to  worth  ratio,  (ii)  managerial  and  business 
competence, (iii) the ability to repay, (iv) for a new business, projected cash flows, (v) loan to value, (vi) in the case of a 
secondary guarantor, a guarantor financial statement, and (vii) financial and/or other character references.  Although the 
underwriting standards reduce the risk of loss, unique risk factors exist in each type of loan in which the Subsidiary Banks 
invest. 

Commercial and industrial loans are mostly secured by the collateral pledged by the borrower that is directly 
related to the business activities of the company such as accounts receivable and inventory. The ability of the borrower to 
collect accounts receivable, and to turn inventory into sales are risk factors in the repayment of the loan. 

Construction and land development loans can carry risk of repayment when projects incur cost overruns, have an 
increase in the price of building materials, encounter zoning and environmental issues, or encounter other factors that may 
affect the completion of a project on time and on budget. Additionally, repayment risk may be negatively impacted when 
the market experiences a deterioration in the value of real estate. Risks specifically related to 1-4 family development loans 
also include the practice by the mortgage industry of more restrictive underwriting standards, which inhibits the buyer 
from obtaining long term financing and excessive housing and lot inventory in the market. 

Commercial  real  estate  loans  demonstrate  a  risk  of  repayment  when  market  values  deteriorate,  the  business 
experiences turnover in key management, the business has an inability to attract or keep occupancy levels stable, or when 
the  market  experiences  an  exit  of  a  specific  business  industry  that  is  significant  to  the  local  economy,  such  as  a 
manufacturing plant. 

First  and  second  lien  residential  1-4  family  mortgage  and  consumer  loan  repayments  may  be  affected  by 

unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate.

The  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  is  a  reserve  established  through  a  provision  for  probable  loan  losses 
charged  to  expense,  which  represents  management’s  best  estimate  of  probable  loan  losses  when  evaluating  loans  (i) 
individually or (ii) collectively. The increase in provision for probable loan losses charged to expense and charge-offs 
charged to the allowance for probable loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 can be primarily attributed to a 
relationship that is secured by multiple pieces of real property on which car dealerships are operated.  The relationship 
began deteriorating in the fourth quarter of 2018, triggered by significant fraud by a high level insider of the car dealership 
resulting  in  the  dealerships  unexpectedly  filing  for  bankruptcy  and  creating  an  exposure  for  potential  loss  since  the 
operations of the dealerships were the source of repayment from the borrower.  The relationship further deteriorated in the 
first quarter of 2019 after the sponsor of the court approved debtor in possession plan discontinued its role in the process 
and  thus  did  not  fulfill  its  obligation  to  assume  full  responsibility  of  the  accrued  and  unpaid  interest.    Although  the

relationship is secured by real property (the dealerships’ real estate), the real property has specialized use, contributing to 
the potential exposure for probable loss.  During the first quarter of 2019, in light of the circumstances and management’s 
evaluation of the relationship, the decision was made to place the relationship on impaired, non-accrual status and place a 
specific  reserve  on  the  relationship  in  the  amount  of  $9.5  million.    During  the  second  quarter  of  2019,  management 
continued to evaluate the relationship and decided to foreclose on the underlying real estate collateral, resulting in a charge-
off of approximately $9.5 million, reflected in the tables above as part of the Commercial and Commercial Real Estate: 
Farmland and Commercial categories. The decrease in the provision for probable loan losses charged to expense for the 
years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 can be attributed to a decrease in the historical loss experience in 
the commercial category of the calculation.  As discussed in prior periods, charge-offs increased from historical levels due 
to the deterioration of one relationship that was secured by multiple pieces of transportation equipment beginning in the 
fourth quarter of 2014.  We use a three-year historical charge-off experience in the calculation, therefore, as those charge-
offs were eliminated from the calculation, the allowance for probable loan losses was impacted.  As fluctuations occur in 
historical loss factors, management evaluates the need to adjust the qualitative factors used in the calculation to properly 
reflect probable loan losses.

impairment and their related allowance, by loan class:

Loans  accounted  for  on  a  non-accrual  basis  at  December  31,  2019,  2018  and  2017  amounted  to  $4,886,000, 
$15,791,000  and  $54,730,000,  respectively.  The  decrease  in  non-accrual  commercial  loans  at  December  31,  2019 
compared to the same period of 2018 can be attributed to a relationship secured by equipment and accounts receivable that 
has  been  upgraded  to  Watch-List  Substandard.    The  effect  of  such  non-accrual  loans  reduced  interest  income  by 
approximately $340,000, $1,119,000 and $977,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 
Amounts received on non-accruals are applied, for financial accounting purposes, first to principal and then to interest 
after all principal has been collected. Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest 
payments at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounted to approximately $59,705,000, $40,674,000 and $7,257,000, 
respectively  and  can  be  attributed  to  a  relationship  that  is  secured  by  multiple  pieces  of  real  property  on  which  car 
dealerships are operated.

Impaired loans are those loans where it is probable that all amounts due according to contractual terms of the loan 
agreement will not be collected. We have identified these loans through our normal loan review procedures. Impaired 
loans are measured based on (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest 
rate;  (ii) the  loan’s  observable  market  price;  or  (iii) the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  if  the  loan  is  collateral  dependent. 
Substantially all of our impaired loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral. In limited cases, we may use other 
methods to determine the level of impairment of a loan if such loan is not collateral dependent.

A  portion  of  the  impaired  loans  have  adequate  collateral  and  credit  enhancements  not  requiring  a  related 
allowance for loan loss. Management is confident our loss exposure regarding these credits will be significantly reduced 
due to our long-standing practices that emphasize secured lending with strong collateral positions and guarantor support. 
Management is likewise confident the reserve for probable loan losses is adequate.  

Management  recognizes  the  risks  associated  with  these  impaired  loans.    However,  management's  decision  to 
place loans in this category does not necessarily mean that losses will occur. In the current environment, troubled loan 
management  can  be  protracted  because  of  the  legal  and  process  problems  that  delay  the  collection  of  an  otherwise 
collectible loan.  Additionally, management believes that the collateral related to these impaired loans and/or the secondary 
support from guarantors mitigates the potential for losses from impaired loans.

The Subsidiary Banks charge-off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss, as 
well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a “loss” by bank examiners. Commercial and industrial or real 
estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, when an exposure beyond any 
collateral coverage is apparent and when no further collection of the loss portion is anticipated based on the borrower’s 
financial condition and general economic conditions in the borrower’s industry. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are 
charged-off when 90 days past due. 

While management considers that it is generally able to identify borrowers with financial problems reasonably 
early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no precise method of predicting loan losses. The 
determination that a loan is likely to be uncollectible and that it should be wholly or partially charged-off as a loss is an 
exercise of judgment. Similarly, the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for probable loan losses can be made 
only  on  a  subjective  basis.  It  is  the  judgment  of  our  management  that  the  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  at 
December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that 
date.

The decrease in commercial loans past due 90 days or greater at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 
2018 can be primarily attributed to a relationship secured by equipment and accounts receivable that was brought current 
and the charge-off of the previously discussed relationship secured by real property on which car dealerships are operated 
and the foreclosure of the underlying real estate assets securing the relationship.  The increase in commercial real estate:  
farmland and commercial loans past due 90 days or greater at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 can be 
primarily attributed to a loan relationship secured by real property on which a private education centers are operated.  Our 
internal classified report is segregated into the following categories: (i) “Special Review Credits,” (ii) “Watch List—Pass 
Credits,” or (iii) “Watch List—Substandard Credits.” The loans placed in the “Special Review Credits” category reflect 
our opinion that the loans reflect potential weakness which require monitoring on a more frequent basis. The “Special 
Review Credits” are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis with the credit department and the lending staff to determine 
if a change in category is warranted. The loans placed in the “Watch List—Pass Credits” category reflect our opinion that 
the  credit  contains  weaknesses  which  represent  a  greater  degree  of  risk,  which  warrant  “extra  attention.”  The  “Watch 
List—Pass  Credits”  are  reviewed  and  discussed  on  a  regular  basis  with  the  credit  department  and  the  lending  staff  to 
determine if a change in category is warranted. The loans placed in the “Watch List—Substandard Credits” classification 
are  considered  to  be  potentially  inadequately  protected  by  the  current  sound  worth  and  debt  service  capacity  of  the 
borrower  or  of  any  pledged  collateral.  These  credit  obligations,  even  if  apparently  protected  by  collateral  value,  have 
shown defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market or political conditions which may 
jeopardize repayment of principal and interest. Furthermore, there is the possibility that we could sustain some future loss 
if  such weaknesses  are  not  corrected.  For  loans  that  are  classified  as  impaired, management  evaluates  these  credits  in 
accordance with the provision of. ASC 310-10, “Receivables,” and, if deemed necessary, a specific reserve is allocated to 
the credit. The specific reserve allocated under ASC 310-10, is based on (i) the present value of expected future cash flows 
discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (ii) the loan’s observable market price; or (iii) the fair value of the collateral 
if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all of our loans evaluated as impaired under ASC 310-10 are measured 
using the fair value of collateral method. In limited cases, we may use other methods to determine the specific reserve of 
a loan under ASC 310-10 if such loan is not collateral dependent. 

The allowance based on historical loss experience on our remaining loan portfolio, which includes the “Special 
Review Credits,” “Watch List—Pass Credits,” and “Watch List—Substandard Credits” is determined by segregating the 
remaining  loan  portfolio  into  certain  categories  such  as  commercial  loans,  installment  loans,  international  loans,  loan 
concentrations and overdrafts. Installment loans are then further segregated by number of days past due. A historical loss 
percentage, adjusted for (i) management’s evaluation of changes in lending policies and procedures, (ii) current economic 
conditions in the market area served, (iii) other risk factors, (iv) the effectiveness of the internal loan review function, 
(v) changes in loan portfolios, and (vi) the composition and concentration of credit volume is applied to each category. 
Each category is then added together to determine the allowance allocated under ASC 450-20. 

A summary of the loan portfolio by credit quality indicator by loan class is as follows:

The decrease in Special Review credits in the commercial real estate: farmland and commercial category of the 
portfolio at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 can be primarily attributed to a relationship secured by 
real estate on which children’s learning centers are operated that was downgraded to Watch-List Substandard.  The increase 
in Special Review credits in the commercial real estate:  other construction and land development category can be primarily 
attributed to two relationships that were downgraded to Special Review from the Pass categories.  Both are relationships 
secured by real estate on which commercial buildings are being constructed.  The decrease in Watch-List Pass credits in 
the commercial category can be primarily attributed to the reclassification of a relationship in the oil and gas production 
business to the Pass category.  The increase in Watch-List Pass credits in the commercial real estate:  other construction 
and land development category can be primarily attributed to a reclassification of a relationship secured by real estate on 
which commercial buildings are being constructed from the Watch-List Substandard classification offset by a downgrade 
of a relationship also secured by real estate on which commercial buildings are being constructed from Pass to Watch-List 
Pass.  The decrease in Watch-List Pass commercial real estate:  farmland and commercial credits at December 31, 2019 
compared to December 31, 2018 can be primarily attributed to the payoff of a relationship secured by real estate on which 
boat storage slips were operated and the upgrade of a relationship secured by a retail center from Watch-List Pass to Pass.  
The decrease in Watch-List Substandard credits in the commercial category at December 31, 2019 compared to December 
31,  2018  can  be  primarily  attributed  to  the  previously  mentioned  relationship  secured  by  real  estate  on  which  car 
dealerships were operated was foreclosed upon and the pay-off of a relationship secured by equipment.  The decrease in 
Watch-List Substandard commercial real estate:  farmland and commercial credits at December 31, 2019 compared to 
December 31, 2018 can be primarily attributed to the upgrade of the previously mentioned relationship secured by real 
estate on which commercial buildings are being constructed to Watch-List-Pass.  The increase in Watch-List Substandard 
commercial real estate:  farmland and commercial credits at December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 can be 
primarily attributed to the downgrade of the previously mentioned relationship secured by real estate on which children’s 
education centers are operated from Special Review.

(10) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures 

We have formed five statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of issuing trust preferred 
securities. These statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”) have each issued Capital and Common Securities and invested the proceeds 
thereof  in  an  equivalent  amount  of  junior  subordinated  debentures  (the  “Debentures”)  we  issued.  As  of  December 31,  2019  and 
December 31, 2018, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $134,642,000 and $160,416,000, respectively.  

The Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all our present and future senior indebtedness (as defined 
in the respective indentures) and are pari passu with one another. The interest rate payable on, and the payment terms of the Debentures 
are the same as the distribution rate and payment terms of the respective issues of Capital and Common Securities issued by the Trusts. 
We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of each of the Trusts with respect to the Capital and Common Securities. 
We have the right, unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Indentures) has occurred and is continuing, to defer payment of interest 
on the Debentures for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods on Trusts VIII, IX, X, XI and XII. If interest payments on any of the 
Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The 
redemption prior to maturity of any of the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or other regulatory 
bodies. 

For  financial  reporting  purposes,  the  Trusts  are  treated  as  investments  and  not  consolidated  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. Although the Capital Securities issued by each of the Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity on the 
consolidated statement of condition, the Capital Securities are treated as capital for regulatory purposes. Specifically, under applicable 
regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital up to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital on 
an  aggregate  basis.  Any  amount  that  exceeds  the  25%  threshold  would  qualify  as  Tier 2  capital.  At  December 31,  2019  and 
December 31, 2018, the total $134,642,000 and $160,416,000, respectively, of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 
capital.

(11) Earnings per Share (“EPS”) 

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. 
The  computation  of  diluted  EPS  assumes  the  issuance  of  common  shares  for  all  dilutive  potential  common  shares

(12) Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan 

We  have  a  deferred  profit  sharing  plan  for  full-time  employees  with  a  minimum  of  one  year  of  continuous 
employment. Our annual contribution to the plan is based on a percentage, as determined by our Board of Directors, of 
income  before  income  taxes,  as  defined,  for  the  year.  Allocation  of  the  contribution  among  officers  and  employees’ 
accounts is based on length of service and amount of salary earned. Profit sharing costs of $4,200,000, $3,850,000 and 
$3,750,000 were charged to income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. 

(13) International Operations 

We provide international banking services for our customers through our Subsidiary Banks. Neither we nor our 
Subsidiary Banks have facilities located outside the United States. International operations are distinguished from domestic 
operations based upon the domicile of the customer. 

Because the resources we employ are common to both international and domestic operations, it is not practical to 

determine net income generated exclusively from international activities.

Total income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21% 
for 2019 and 2018 and 35% for 2017 to income before income taxes. The reasons for the differences for the years ended

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law.  The Tax Act materially 
changes U.S. corporate income tax rates, among other things.  We were in a net deferred tax liability position at the time 
the Tax Act was enacted and subsequently revalued the carrying value of the net deferred liability and its components to 
the new 21% effective tax rate.  The change in the tax rate resulted in a net benefit to us of $4,786,000 and was included 
as a reduction to income tax expense in the consolidated income statement.  

(15) Stock Options 

On April 5, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 International Bancshares Corporation Stock Option 
Plan (the “2012 Plan”). There are 800,000 shares available for stock option grants under the 2012 Plan. Under the 2012 
Plan, both qualified incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”) may be granted. Options 
granted  may  be  exercisable  for  a  period  of  up  to  10 years  from  the  date  of  grant,  excluding  ISOs  granted  to  10% 
shareholders, which may be exercisable for a period of up to only five years. As of December 31, 2019, 28,651 shares 
were available for future grants under the 2012 Plan. 

The  fair  value  of  each  option  award  granted  under  the  plan  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  a 
Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility 
is based on the historical volatility of the price of our stock. We use historical data to estimate the expected dividend yield 
and  employee  termination  rates  within  the  valuation  model.  The  expected  term  of  options  is  derived  from  historical 
exercise behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield 
curve in effect at the time of grant.

(16) Long Term Restricted Stock Units  

As a former participant in the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) we were 
subject to certain compensation restrictions, including a prohibition on the payment or accrual of any bonuses to certain 
officers and employees except for awards of CPP-compliant long- term restricted stock and stock units. 

On  December 18,  2009,  our  board  of  directors  (the  “Board”)  adopted  the  2009  International  Bancshares 
Corporation Long-Term Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “Plan”) to give us additional flexibility in the compensation of 
our officers, employees, consultants and advisors in compliance with all applicable laws and restrictions. 

The  Plan  authorizes  us  to  issue  Restricted  Stock  Units  (“RSUs”)  to  our  officers,  employees,  consultants  and 
advisors.  On December 18, 2009, pursuant to the Plan, the Board adopted resolutions creating the Long-Term Restricted 
Stock Unit Plan Committee to administer the Plan. RSUs issued under the Plan are not equity and are payable only in cash. 
The Plan provides for both the issuance of CPP-compliant long-term RSUs as well as RSUs that are not CPP-compliant.  
No grants have been made under the Plan since December 2012 and there are currently no outstanding grants under the 
Plan. The plan was terminated on August 6, 2019.  

(17) Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Other Matters 

Cash  of  approximately  $125,764,000  and  $115,721,000  at  December  31,  2019  and  2018,  respectively,  was 

maintained to satisfy regulatory reserve requirements. 

We are involved in various legal proceedings that are in various stages of litigation. We have determined, based 
on discussions with our counsel that any material loss in such actions, individually or in the aggregate, is remote or the 
damages sought, even if fully recovered, would not be considered material to our consolidated statements of condition and 
related  statements  of  income,  comprehensive  income,  shareholders’  equity  and  cash  flows.  However,  many  of  these 
matters are in various stages of proceedings and further developments could cause management to revise its assessment of 
these matters. 

(18) Transactions with Related Parties 

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Subsidiary  Banks  make  loans  to  our  directors  and  executive  officers, 
including their affiliates, families and companies in which they are principal owners. In the opinion of management, these 
loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for 
comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other 
unfavorable features. The aggregate amounts receivable from such related parties amounted to approximately $37,605,000 
and $33,042,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(19) Financial Instruments with Off-Statement of Condition Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk 

In the normal course of business, the Subsidiary Banks are party to financial instruments with off-statement of 
condition risk to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to their 
customers.  These  financial  instruments  involve,  to  varying  degrees,  elements  of  credit  risk  in  excess  of  the  amounts 
recognized  in the  consolidated  statement  of  condition.  The  contract  amounts  of  these  instruments  reflect  the  extent of 
involvement the Subsidiary Banks have in particular classes of financial instruments. At December 31, 2019, the following 
financial amounts of instruments, whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were outstanding: 

Commitments to extend credit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .         $

 2,622,491,000 
 11,098,000 
 124,054,000 
 489,000 

We enter into a standby letter of credit to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees 
are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved is represented by the 
contractual amounts of those instruments. Under the standby letters of credit, we are required to make payments to the 
beneficiary of the letters of credit upon request by the beneficiary so long as all performance criteria have been met. At 
December 31, 2019, the maximum potential amount of future payments is approximately $124,054,000. At December 31, 
2019, the fair value of these guarantees is not significant. Unsecured letters of credit totaled approximately $49,965,000 
and $42,729,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

We enter into commercial letters of credit on behalf of our customers which authorize a third party to draw drafts 
upon us up to a stipulated amount and with specific terms and conditions. A commercial letter of credit is a conditional 
commitment on our part to provide payment on drafts drawn in accordance with the terms of the commercial letter of 
credit. 

The Subsidiary Banks’ exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the above 
financial instruments is represented by the contractual amounts of the instruments. The Subsidiary Banks use the same 
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-statement of condition instruments. 
The  Subsidiary  Banks  control  the  credit  risk  of  these  transactions  through  credit  approvals,  limits  and  monitoring 
procedures. 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 normally less than one year or 
other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire 
without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.  The 
Subsidiary Banks evaluate each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, 
if deemed necessary by the Subsidiary Banks upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the 
customer.  Collateral  held  varies,  but  may  include  residential  and  commercial  real  estate,  bank  certificates  of  deposit, 
accounts receivable and inventory. 

The Subsidiary Banks make commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers principally located in South, 
Central and Southeast Texas and the State of Oklahoma. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a substantial portion 
of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the economic conditions in these areas, especially in the 
real estate and commercial business sectors. 

(20) Capital Requirements 

On December 23, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program of the United 
States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), we issued to the Treasury a warrant to purchase 1,326,238 shares of our 
common stock at a price per share of $24.43 and with a term of ten years (the “Warrant”).  

On June 12, 2013, the U.S. Treasury sold the Warrant to a third party. On September 19, 2018, we entered into 
an  agreement  to  repurchase  the  Warrant  from  the  third  party  at  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $29,005,000,  which 

68 

 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
 
INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

transaction  was  consummated  in  the  third  quarter  of  2018.  The  repurchase  of  the  outstanding  Warrant  eliminated  any 
restrictions on certain shareholder distributions or payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.33 per semi-annual period 
that would have impacted the exercise price of the Warrant while it remained outstanding. 

Bank regulatory agencies limit the amount of dividends, which the Subsidiary Banks can pay, without obtaining 
prior  approval  from  such  agencies.  At  December 31,  2019,  the  Subsidiary  Banks  could  pay  dividends  of  up  to 
$891,500,000  without  prior  regulatory  approval  and  without  adversely  affecting  their  “well-capitalized”  status  under 
regulatory  capital  rules  in  effect  at  December  31,  2019.  In  addition  to  legal  requirements,  regulatory  authorities  also 
consider the adequacy of the Subsidiary Banks’ total capital in relation to their deposits and other factors. These capital 
adequacy  considerations  also  limit  amounts  available for payment  of dividends. We historically  have not  allowed any 
Subsidiary Bank to pay dividends in such a manner as to impair its capital adequacy. 

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

Current  quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital  adequacy  require  us  to  maintain 
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table on the following page) of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted 
assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2019, that we met all capital 
adequacy requirements to which we are subject. 

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and other regulatory bodies established a new, 
comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations, consisting of minimum requirements that increase both 
the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. The final rules are a result of the implementation of the 
BASEL III capital reforms and various Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank”) 
related capital provisions. Consistent with the Basel international framework, the rules include a new minimum ratio of 
Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a CET1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-
weighted assets.  The capital conservation buffer began phasing-in on January 1, 2016 at .625% and increased each year 
until  January  1,  2019,  when  we  were  required  to  have  a  2.5%  capital  conservation  buffer,  effectively  resulting  in  a 
minimum ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7% upon full implementation. The rules also raised the 
minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and include a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for 
all  banking  organizations.  Regarding  the  quality  of  capital,  the  rules  emphasize  CET1  capital  and  implements  strict 
eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. The rules also improve the methodology for calculating risk-weighted 
assets to enhance risk sensitivity. The rules were subject to a four-year phase-in period for mandatory compliance and we 
were required to begin to phase-in the new rules beginning on January 1, 2015.  We believe that as of December 31, 2019, 
we meet all fully phased-in capital adequacy requirements. 

On November 21, 2017, the OCC, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC finalized a proposed rule that extends the 
current treatment under the regulatory capital rules for certain regulatory capital deductions and risk weights and certain 
minority interest requirements, as they apply to banking organizations that are not subject to the advanced approaches 
capital rules.  Effective January 1, 2018, the rule also paused the full transition to the Basel III treatment of mortgage 
servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets, investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions and minority 
interests.  The agencies are also considering whether to make adjustments to the capital rules in response to CECL (the 
FASB Standard relating to current expected credit loss) and its potential impact on regulatory capital. 

On December 7, 2017, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision unveiled the latest round of its regulatory 
capital framework, commonly called “Basel IV.”  The framework makes changes to the capital framework first introduced 
as “Basel III” in 2010.  The committee targeted 2022-2027 as the timeframe for implementation by regulators in individual 
countries, including the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies (after notice and comment).

The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. 
Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation 
buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. 

As of December 31, 2019, our capital levels exceed all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital 
Rules as currently applicable to us. Based on the ratios presented below, capital levels as of December 31, 2019 exceed 
the minimum levels necessary to be considered “well-capitalized.”   

On  May  24,  2018,  the  EGRRCPA  was  enacted  and,  among  other  things,  it  includes  a  simplified  capital  rule 
change which effectively exempts banks with assets of less than $10 billion that exceed the “community bank leverage 
ratio,” from all risk-based capital requirements, including Basel III and its predecessors. The federal banking agencies 
must establish the “community bank leverage ratio” (a ratio of tangible equity to average consolidated assets) between 8% 
and 10% before community banks can begin to take advantage of this regulatory relief provision. Some of the Subsidiary 
Banks, with assets of less than $10 billion, may qualify for this exemption. Additionally, under the EGRRCPA, qualified 
bank holding companies with assets of up to $3 billion (currently $1 billion) will be eligible for the Federal Reserve’s 
Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, which eases limitations on the issuance of debt by holding companies. 
On August 28, 2018, the Federal Reserve issued an interim final rule expanding the applicability of its Small Bank Holding 
Company Policy Statement. While holding companies that meet the conditions of the policy statement are excluded from 
consolidated capital requirements, their depository institutions continue to be subject to minimum capital requirements. 
Finally, for banks that continue to be subject to the risk-based capital rules of Basel III (e.g., 150%), certain commercial 
real estate loans that were formally classified as high volatility commercial real estate 31 (“HVCRE”) will not be subject 
to heightened risk weights if they meet certain criteria. Also, while acquisition, development, and construction (“ADC”) 
loans  will  generally  be  subject  to  heightened  risk  weights,  certain  exceptions  will  apply.  On  September  18,  2018,  the 
federal banking agencies issued a proposed rule modifying the agencies’ capital rules for HVCRE. 

As  of  December 31,  2019,  the  most  recent  notification  from  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation 
categorized all the Subsidiary Banks as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To 
be categorized as “well-capitalized,” we must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage 
ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have 
changed our categorization as well-capitalized. 

In December 2018, the federal bank regulators issued a final rule that would provide an optional three-year phase-
in period for the day-one regulatory capital effects of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to ASC 326 “Financial Instruments – 
Credit Losses,” as amended, on January 1, 2020.

ASC  Topic  820,  “Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures”  (“ASC  820”)  defines  fair  value,  establishes  a 
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value 
measurements. ASC 820 applies to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; it also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes 
the inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels: 

•  Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
•  Level 2  Inputs—Observable  inputs  other  than  Level 1  prices,  such  as  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  or 
liabilities,  quoted  prices  in  markets  that  are  not  active;  or  other  inputs  that  are  observable  or  can  be 
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. 

•  Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant 
to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose 
value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or other valuation techniques,

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, debt investment securities available-for-sale are 
classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified 
within Level 1. For debt securities classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, we obtain fair value measurements 
from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, 
market  spreads,  cash  flows,  the  U.S.  Treasury  yield  curve,  live  trading  levels,  trade  execution  data,  market  consensus 
prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Certain financial instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. They are not measured at fair 
value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is 
evidence of impairment).

During 
Period 

Our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are limited to impaired loans and other real estate 
owned.  Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  The fair value of impaired loans is derived 
in  accordance  with  FASB  ASC  310,  “Receivables”.    Impaired  loans  are  primarily  comprised  of  collateral-dependent 
commercial loans.   Understanding that as the primary sources of loan repayments decline, the secondary repayment source 
comes  into  play  and  correctly  evaluating  the  fair  value  of  that  secondary  source,  the  collateral,  becomes  even  more 
important.  Re-measurement of the impaired loan to fair value is done through a specific valuation allowance included in 
the allowance for probable loan losses.  The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral, as 
determined through either an appraisal or evaluation process.  The basis for our appraisal and appraisal review process is 
based  on  regulatory  guidelines  and  strives  to  comply  with  all  regulatory  appraisal  laws,  regulations  and  the  Uniform 
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. All appraisals and evaluations are “as is” (the property’s highest and best 
use) valuations based on the current conditions of the property/project at that point in time.  The determination of the fair 
value  of  the  collateral  is  based  on  the  net  realizable  value,  which  is  the  appraised  value  less  any  closing  costs,  when 
applicable.  As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately $2,955,000 of impaired commercial collateral dependent 
loans, of which approximately $1,426,000 had an appraisal performed within the immediately preceding twelve months 
and of which approximately $847,000 had an evaluation performed within the immediately preceding twelve months. As

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $14,306,000 of impaired commercial collateral dependent loans, of which 
approximately $10,911,000 had an appraisal performed within the immediately preceding twelve months and of which 
approximately $0 had an evaluation performed within the immediately preceding twelve months. 

The determination to either seek an appraisal or to perform an evaluation begins in weekly credit quality meetings, 
where  the  committee  analyzes  the  existing  collateral  values  of  the  impaired  loans  and  where  obsolete  appraisals  are 
identified.  In order to determine whether we would obtain a new appraisal or perform an internal evaluation to determine 
the fair value of the collateral, the credit committee reviews the existing appraisal to determine if the collateral value is 
reasonable in view of the current use of the collateral and the economic environment related to the collateral.  If the analysis 
of the existing appraisal does not find that the collateral value is reasonable under the current circumstances, we would 
obtain a new appraisal on the collateral or perform an internal evaluation of the collateral.  The ultimate decision to get a 
new  appraisal  rests  with  the  independent  credit  administration  group.    A  new  appraisal  is  not  required  if  an  internal 
evaluation, as performed by in-house experts, is able to appropriately update the original appraisal assumptions to reflect 
current market conditions and provide an estimate of the collateral’s market value for impairment analysis.  The internal 
evaluations must be in writing and contain sufficient information detailing the analysis, assumptions and conclusions and 
they must support performing an evaluation in lieu of ordering a new appraisal. 

Other real estate owned is comprised of real estate acquired by foreclosure and deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Other 
real estate owned is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair value less estimated costs to 
sell such property (as determined by independent appraisal) within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Prior to foreclosure, 
the  value  of  the  underlying  loan  is  written  down  to  the  fair  value  of  the  real  estate  to  be  acquired  by  a  charge  to  the 
allowance for probable loan losses, if necessary. The fair value is reviewed periodically and subsequent write downs are 
made accordingly through a charge to operations. Other real estate owned is included in other assets on the consolidated 
financial  statements.  For  the  twelve  months  ended  December 31,  2019,  December 31,  2018  and  December  31,  2017, 
respectively we recorded approximately $9,611,000, $170,000 and $30,000 in charges to the allowance for probable loan 
losses in connection with loans transferred to other real estate owned. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, 
December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, we recorded approximately $322,000, $3,071,000 and $710,000 
in adjustments to fair value in connection with other real estate owned. 

The  fair  value  estimates,  methods,  and  assumptions  for  our  financial  instruments  at  December 31,  2019  and 

December 31, 2018 are outlined below. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. 

Investment securities held-to-maturity 

The carrying amounts of investments held-to-maturity approximate fair value. 

Investment Securities 

For  debt  investment  securities,  which  include  U.S.  Treasury  securities,  obligations  of  other  U.S.  government 
agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions and mortgage pass through and related securities, fair values are 
from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, 
market  spreads,  cash  flows,  the  U.S.  Treasury  yield  curve,  live  trading  levels,  trade  execution  data,  market  consensus 
prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. See disclosures of fair 
value of investment securities in Note 2.

Loans 

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by 
type such as commercial, real estate and consumer loans as outlined by regulatory reporting guidelines. Each category is 
segmented into fixed and variable interest rate terms and by performing and non-performing categories. 

For variable rate performing loans, the carrying amount approximates the fair value. For fixed rate performing 
loans,  except  residential  mortgage  loans,  the  fair  value  is  calculated  by  discounting  scheduled  cash  flows  through  the 
estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. 
For  performing  residential  mortgage  loans,  fair  value  is  estimated  by  discounting  contractual  cash  flows  adjusted  for 
prepayment estimates using discount rates based on secondary market sources or the primary origination market. Fixed 
rate performing loans are within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the 
carrying amount of fixed rate performing loans was $1,503,811,000 and $1,515,437,000, respectively, and the estimated 
fair value was $1,481,239,000 and $1,469,231,000, respectively. 

Accrued Interest 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value. 

Deposits 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, savings 
accounts and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, was equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 
2019 and December 31, 2018. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. 
The discount  rate  is  based on  currently  offered  rates.  Time  deposits  are  within  Level 3 of  the  fair  value  hierarchy.  At 
December 31,  2019  and  December 31,  2018,  the  carrying  amount  of  time  deposits  was  $2,012,300,000  and 
$1,973,468,000, respectively, and the estimated fair value was $2,011,950,000 and $1,976,156,000, respectively. 

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements 

Securities sold under repurchase agreements include both short and long-term maturities. Due to the contractual 
terms  of  the  short-term  instruments,  the  carrying  amounts  approximated  fair  value  at  December 31,  2019  and 
December 31,  2018.  The  fair  value  of  the  long-term  instruments  is  based  on  established  market  spread  using  option 
adjusted spread methodology. Long-term repurchase agreements are within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The only 
remaining long-term repurchase agreement outstanding matured in the first quarter of 2018 and was not renewed.   

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures 

We  currently  have  floating  rate  junior  subordinated  deferrable  interest  debentures  outstanding.  Due  to  the 
contractual terms of the floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, the carrying amounts approximated 
fair value at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. 

Other Borrowed Funds 

We currently have short and long-term borrowings issued from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Due to 
the contractual terms of the short-term borrowings, the carrying amounts approximated fair value at December 31, 2019 
and December 31, 2018. The long-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are fixed-
rate borrowings and the fair value is based on established market spreads for similar types of borrowings.  The fixed-rate 
long-term borrowings are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 
the carrying amount of the fixed-rate long-term FHLB borrowings was $436,511,000 and $436,690,000, respectively and 
the estimated fair value was $465,017,000 and $436,238,000 respectively.

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit 

Commitments to extend credit and fund letters of credit are principally at current interest rates and therefore the 

carrying amount approximates fair value. 

Limitations 

Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the 
financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one 
time of our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our 
financial  instruments,  fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  judgments  regarding  future  expected  loss  experience,  current 
economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective 
in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. 
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. 

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  existing  on-and  off-statement  of  condition  financial  instruments  without 
attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered 
financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include 
the bank premises and equipment and core deposit value. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the effect of fair value 
estimates have not been considered in the above estimates.
