STOCK YARDS BANCORP, INC. – 10-Q – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Edgar Glimpses
Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp" or "the Company"), is a FHC headquartered
in Louisville, Kentucky and is engaged in the business of banking through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company ("SYB" or "the
Bank") and SYB Insurance Company, Inc. ("the Captive"). Bancorp, which was
incorporated in 1988 in Kentucky, is registered with, and subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. As Bancorp has no significant operations of its own, its
business is essentially that of SYB and the Captive. The operations of SYB and
the Captive are fully reflected in the consolidated financial statements of
Bancorp. Accordingly, references to "Bancorp" in this document may encompass
both the holding company and its subsidiaries, however, it should be noted that
the business of the Captive is immaterial to the overall results of operations
and financial condition of Bancorp. All significant inter-company transactions
and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.



SYB, established in 1904, is a state-chartered non-member financial institution
that provides services in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as
well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs through 73 full
service banking center locations. The Bank is registered with, and subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by the FDIC and the Kentucky Department
of Financial Institutions.



The Captive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp, is a Nevada-based captive
insurance company that provides insurance against certain risks unique to
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be
currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace.
The Captive pools resources with several other similar insurance company
subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among
themselves. The Captive is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and
undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance. It has
elected to be taxed under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant
to Section 831(b), if gross premiums do not exceed $2,450,000, then the Captive
is taxable solely on its investment income. The Captive is included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements and its federal income tax return.



As a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. on March 7,
2022, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of three unconsolidated Delaware
trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory
Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust
subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for
subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS.



Also as a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc., Bancorp
acquired a 60% interest in Landmark Financial Advisors, LLC (LFA), which is
based in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provides wealth management services. LFA is
consolidated into the Company. The 40% non-controlling interest is presented
within the consolidated financial statements and represents the interest in LFA
not owned by Bancorp.



Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying Footnotes presented in Part 1 Item 1 "Financial
Statements" and other information appearing in Bancorp's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. To the extent that this discussion
describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed,
which may not be indicative of Bancorp's future financial outcomes. In addition
to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to
differ materially from management's expectations.



Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements





This document contains statements relating to future results of Bancorp that are
considered "forward-looking" as defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The forward-looking statements are principally, but not exclusively,
contained in Part I Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."



Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be
materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed
or implied by the statement. These statements are often, but not always, made
through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "can,"
"conclude," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "foresee," "goal,"
"intend," "may," "might," "outlook," "possible," "plan," "predict," "project,"
"potential," "seek," "should," "target," "will," "will likely," "would," or
other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not historical
facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our
industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many
of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control.

and are based on information known to management only as of the date the
statements are made and management undertakes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after
the date forward-looking statements are made, except as required by applicable
regulation.

Acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. and its Subsidiary Commonwealth
Bank & Trust Company





On March 7, 2022, Bancorp completed its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company,
collectively defined as "CB," a Louisville, Kentucky-based commercial bank and
trust company, which operated 15 retail branches, including nine in Jefferson
County, four in Shelby County, and two in Northern Kentucky. At the time of
acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had $1.34 billion in
assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment securities and $1.12
billion in deposits in addition to maintaining a WM&T Department with total
assets under management of approximately $2.65 billion. CB was also the holding
company for three unconsolidated Delaware trust subsidiaries and held a 60%
interest in LFA. Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of all three trust
subsidiaries and also retained the 60% interest in LFA upon acquisition. Bancorp
acquired all outstanding common stock of CB, Inc. in a combined stock and cash
transaction that resulted in total consideration paid to CB shareholders of $168
million.


Bancorp recorded goodwill of approximately $67 million and incurred merger
related expenses totaling $19.5 million during the first quarter of 2022 as a
result of the CB acquisition.




The acquisition of CB has had a significant impact on the ACL and credit loss
provisioning in 2022. In total, the CB acquisition served to increase the ACL on
loans by $14 million at acquisition date. This increase consisted of $10 million
attributed to the acquired PCD loan portfolio, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense), and $4.4
million of provision for credit loss expense attributed to the acquired non-PCD
portfolio, which represented the acquisition-related credit loss expense at the
time of acquisition.


Acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. and its Subsidiary Kentucky Bank





On May 31, 2021, Bancorp completed its acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kentucky Bank, collectively defined as "KB," a
Paris, Kentucky-based commercial bank and trust company, which operated 19
retail branches throughout central and eastern Kentucky. At the time of
acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had $1.27 billion in
assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment securities and $1.04
billion in deposits. KB was also the holding company for an insurance captive,
which Bancorp retained and renamed SYB Insurance Company, Inc. Bancorp acquired
all outstanding common stock of KB in a combined stock and cash transaction that
resulted in total consideration paid to KB shareholders of $233 million.



Bancorp recorded goodwill of approximately $123 million and incurred merger
related expenses totaling $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as
a result of the KB acquisition.




The acquisition of KB had a significant impact on the ACL and credit loss
provisioning for the year ended December 31, 2021. In total, the KB acquisition
served to increase the ACL by $14 million at acquisition date. This increase
consisted of $7 million attributed to the acquired PCD loan portfolio, with the
corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit
loss expense), and $7.4 million of provision for credit loss expense attributed
to the acquired non-PCD portfolio, which represented the acquisition-related
credit loss expense at the time of acquisition.



Issued but Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards Updates

Significant Accounting Policies" of Part I Item 1 "Financial Statements."

Additional discussion follows under the section titled "Results of Operations."

General highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to
September 30, 2021:

? Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had approximately

$1.34 billion in total assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in

investment securities and $1.12 billion in deposits. The three months ended

September 30, 2022 represented the second full quarter of activity associated

with the CB acquisition. There were no merger related expenses recorded for

    the three months ended September 30, 2022.


  ? Bancorp completed its acquisition of KB on May 31, 2021. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had approximately

$1.27 billion in assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment

securities and $1.04 billion in deposits, further contributing to the

substantial balance sheet growth experienced over the past twelve months.

Given the timing of the acquisition, the three months ended September 30, 2021

represented the first full quarter of activity associated with the KB

acquisition. The merger related expenses recorded for the three months ended

September 30, 2021 were associated entirely with the CB acquisition, which was

completed during the first quarter of 2022.

? Net income totaled $28.5 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.97 for the

three months ended September 30, 2022, an 11% increase over $0.87 for the same

period of 2021. Significant factors affecting the results for the three months

ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 include:

o The three months ended September 30, 2022 represented the second full quarter

of activity related to the CB acquisition. No merger related expenses were

recorded during the period.

o The three months ended September 30, 2021 represented the first full quarter

of activity related to the KB acquisition, but also included $525,000 of

merger related expenses associated entirely with the CB acquisition, which was

completed during the first quarter of 2022.

o Net interest income increased $16.9 million, or 37%, for the three months

ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by

acquisition-related growth and organic growth in loans and investment

securities, as well as the significant benefit provided by substantial upward

    movement in the interest rate environment during the period.




                                       75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Table of Contents


o Provision for credit loss expense of $4.8 million was recorded for the three

months ended September 30, 2022, which was the result of strong loan growth

and to a lesser extent, the increase in the projected unemployment rate

forecast used in the CECL model. Negative provision of $1.5 million was

recorded for the third quarter of the prior year, which was driven by

generally improving CECL model factors at the time, including an improved

unemployment forecast.

? NIM increased 32 bps to 3.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2022

compared to 3.14% for the same period in 2021. Recent interest rate actions

from the FRB have had a positive impact on net interest income and NIM, but

the full effects of rising rates were not realized during the three months

ended September 30, 2022 due to the timing of the third quarter rate

increases. Bancorp expects to realize further benefits to net interest income

    and NIM from both the recent hikes and anticipated future hikes in the
    quarters ahead.

? Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.10 billion, or 28%, compared to

September 30, 2021, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans from the

CB acquisition and strong organic growth. Average loans (excluding PPP loans)

increased $1.03 billion, or 27%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022

compared to the same period in 2021.

? The PPP loan portfolio decreased $212 million, or 92%, compared to September

30, 2021, as the result of anticipated forgiveness activity, driving a $3.7

million, or 84%, decline in PPP-related interest and fee income for the three

months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

? Bancorp's ACL on loans to total loans was 1.38% at September 30, 2022 compared

to 1.29% at December 31, 2021, the increase stemming mainly from

acquisition-related activity within the ACL on loans, strong organic loan

growth and to a lesser extent, the aforementioned increase in the projected

unemployment rate forecast.

? Deposit balances increased $1.16 billion, or 22%, compared to September 30,

2021, as a result of assuming approximately $1.12 billion in deposits during

the first quarter in relation to the CB acquisition. The growth stemming from

the first quarter CB acquisition was partially offset during the second and

third quarters, as a result of anticipated seasonal deposit runoff related

mainly to public fund deposits and time deposit attrition.

? Total non-interest income increased $7.3 million, or 41%, for the three month

period ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The third

quarter of 2022 benefitted from both significant contributions stemming from

acquisition-related activity and organic growth over the past twelve months.

All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over

the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking,

which decreased compared to the prior year period due to the rising rate

environment's impact on overall mortgage volume. In addition, a non-recurring

$3.1 million gain resulting from the sale of certain overlapping acquired

properties was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

? Non-interest expenses increased $10.3 million, or 30%, for the three months

ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, attributed

mainly to acquisition-related activity. Non-interest expenses have generally

remained controlled and in line with expectations.

? Bancorp's efficiency ratio (FTE) for the three months ended September 30, 2022

was 51.30% compared to 54.63% for the same period of 2021. Bancorp also

considers an adjusted efficiency ratio, which eliminates net gains (losses) on

sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains

(losses) on sales of acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the

fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in

tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses. Bancorp's adjusted

efficiency ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 53.06%

    compared to 53.72% for the same period of 2021. See the section titled
    "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP
    measures.

Additional discussion follows under the section titled "Results of Operations."

General highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to
September 30, 2021:

? Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had approximately

$1.34 billion in assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment

securities and $1.12 billion in deposits. Given the timing of the acquisition,

the nine months ended September 30, 2022 did not include a full nine months of

activity associated with the CB acquisition. Further, $19.5 million in merger

related expenses were recorded in the first nine months of 2022 in addition to

    $4.4 million of credit loss expense associated with the acquired loan
    portfolio.


  ? Bancorp completed its acquisition of KB on May 31, 2021. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had approximately

$1.27 billion in assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment

securities and $1.04 billion in deposits. Given the timing of the acquisition,

    the nine months ended September 30, 2021 only represented four months of
    activity associated with the KB acquisition and included $19.0 million of

merger related expenses in addition to $7.4 million in credit loss expense

associated with the acquired loan portfolio.

? Net income totaled $63.2 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $2.20 for the

nine months ended September 30, 2022, an 8% increase over $2.03 for the same

period of 2021. Significant factors affecting the results for the nine months

ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 include:

o The nine months ended September 30, 2022 represented approximately seven

months of activity related to the CB acquisition, including $19.5 million in

merger related expenses and $4.4 million of credit loss expense related to the

acquired loan portfolio.

o The nine months ended September 30, 2021 represented only four months of

activity related to the KB acquisition and included $19.0 million of merger

related expenses ($525,000 of which related to the CB acquisition) and $7.4

million in credit loss expense related to the acquired loan portfolio.

o Net interest income increased $43.2 million, or 35%, for the nine months ended

    September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by
    acquisition-related growth and organic portfolio growth in loans and
    investment securities, as well as the significant benefit provided by
    substantial upward movement in the interest rate environment during the
    period.

o Total provision for credit loss expense was $6.9 million for the nine months

ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the same period of last

year. The expense recorded for both periods was driven largely by the

respective acquisitions. However, contrasting projected unemployment rate

forecasts used in the CECL model for these respective periods had opposing

effects on provision for credit loss expense. While the projected unemployment

rate forecast has increased in the current year on the heels of inflation and

recession-based concerns, increasing expense, the prior year benefitted from a

then-improving forecast, partially offsetting our growth-related expense.

? NIM decreased 4 bps to 3.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022

compared to 3.29% for the same period in 2021. While the aggressive interest

rate actions taken by the FRB in 2022 have had a positive impact on net

interest income and NIM, the significantly higher interest rate environment

experienced for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was not enough to

offset the 20 bps benefit provided by the PPP portfolio for the same period of

the prior year.

? Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.10 billion, or 28%, compared to

September 30, 2021, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans from the

CB acquisition and strong organic portfolio growth. Average loans (excluding

    PPP loans) increased $1.26 billion, or 37%, for the nine months ended
    September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

? The PPP loan portfolio decreased $212 million, or 92%, compared to September

30, 2021, as the result of forgiveness activity, driving a $13.7 million, or

75%, decline in PPP-related interest and fee income for the nine months ended

    September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

? Bancorp's ACL on loans to total loans was 1.38% at September 30, 2022 compared

to 1.29% at December 31, 2021, the increase stemming mainly from

acquisition-related activity within the ACL on loans, strong organic loan

growth and to a lesser extent, the aforementioned increase in the projected

unemployment rate forecast.

? Deposit balances increased $1.16 billion, or 22%, compared to September 30,

2021, as a result of assuming approximately $1.12 billion in deposits during

the first quarter in relation to the CB acquisition. The growth stemming from

the first quarter CB acquisition was partially offset during the second and

third quarters, as a result of anticipated seasonal deposit runoff related

mainly to public fund deposits and time deposit attrition.

? Total non-interest income increased $18.8 million, or 40%, for the nine months

ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The first nine

months of 2022 benefitted from both significant contributions stemming from

acquisition-related activity and organic growth over the past twelve months.

All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over

the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking,

which experienced a significant decline in volume driven by rising rates

compared to the historic low rates benefitted much of 2021. In addition, a

non-recurring $3.1 million gain resulting from the sale of certain overlapping

acquired properties was recorded during third quarter.

? Non-interest expenses increased $38.1 million, or 35%, for the nine months

ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. While both

periods experienced elevated non-interest expense as a result of merger

related expenses, all non-interest expense categories, with the exception of

the FHLB early pre-payment penalty, experienced significant increases over the

prior year as a result of anticipated acquisition-related growth. The prior

year FHLB early pre-payment penalty, which totaled $474,000, was the result of

paying off $14 million of FHLB advances prior to maturity due to excess

liquidity held on the balance sheet and the near-term outlook for interest

rates at the time of payoff.

? Bancorp's efficiency ratio (FTE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022

was 62.11% compared to 62.47% for the same period of 2021, the elevated ratios

being the result of one-time merger-related expenses incurred as a result of

the respective acquisitions in both periods. Bancorp also considers an

adjusted efficiency ratio, which eliminates net gains (losses) on sales,

calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses)

on sales of acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the

fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in

tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses. Bancorp's adjusted

efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 54.41%

    compared to 51.25% for the same period of 2021. See the section titled
    "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP
    measures.

Net Interest Income - Overview




As is the case with most banks, Bancorp's primary revenue sources are net
interest income and fee income from various financial services provided to
customers. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned
on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest
expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities. Loan volume
and interest rates earned on those loans are critical to overall profitability.
Similarly, deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits
directly impact profitability. New business volume is influenced by economic
factors including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence
and competitive conditions within the marketplace. The discussion that follows
is based on FTE interest data.

NIM and net interest spread calculations above exclude the sold portion of
certain participation loans, which totaled $5 million at both September 30, 2022
and December 31, 2021. These sold loans are on Bancorp's balance sheet as
required by GAAP because Bancorp retains some form of effective control;
however, Bancorp receives no interest income on the sold portion. These
participation loans sold are excluded from NIM and spread analysis, as Bancorp
believes it provides a more accurate depiction of loan portfolio performance.



The FRB has taken aggressive interest rate action over the past several months,
implementing multiple rate hikes in an effort to tame inflation that has reached
its highest levels in decades. The FFTR was increased to a range of 1.50% -
1.75% with consecutive and escalating rate increases of 25 bps, 50 bps and 75
bps in March, May and June, respectively, taking Prime to 4.75% by the end of
the second quarter. The FRB remained committed to its goal of taming inflation
through interest rate increases during the third quarter, hiking rates 75 bps
each in both late-July and late-September, bringing the FFTR to a range of 3.00%
- 3.25%, and Prime to 6.25%, as of September 30, 2022. While the third quarter
hikes provided meaningful benefit to NIM, the average interest rate environment
experienced for the three months ended September 30, 2022 did not capture the
full benefit of the FRB's third quarter interest rate actions given the timing
of the increases. Further, Bancorp elected to raise its deposit rates in July in
anticipation of these rate increases, representing the Company's first deposit
rate increases in nearly two years, which partially negated some of the NIM
benefit associated with the aforementioned FRB rate hikes.



The current economic outlook suggests continued interest rate action from the
FRB through at least the end of 2022 and prospects of a continuing rising rate
environment. While Bancorp expects rising rates to have a positive effect on
NIM, pricing pressure/competition for both loans and deposits, changing levels
of liquidity within the banking system and the possibility of a flattening yield
curve could continue to place pressure on NIM.

Net Interest Income (FTE) - Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to
September 30, 2021




Net interest spread (FTE) and NIM were 3.31% and 3.46%, for the three months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to 3.08% and 3.14% for the same period in
2021, respectively. NIM during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was
significantly impacted by the following:



? A rapidly rising interest rate environment evolving from the sustained,

pandemic-driven lows experienced over the last two years. The FFTR was lowered

to a range of 0% - 0.25% in March of 2020, which resulted in Prime dropping to

3.25%, where it remained until the FRB's hike in mid-March 2022. The FFTR

stood at a range of 3.00% - 3.25%, and Prime at 6.25%, as of September 30,

2022 as a result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB over the past

    two quarters.


  ? Substantial balance sheet growth stemming from both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth, which resulted in total average earning asset

growth of $1.42 billion, or 25%, and average interest-bearing liability growth

    of $1.00 billion, or 28%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022
    compared to the same period of 2021.

? Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed to NIM compression

in both periods. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has

also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment. After reaching a peak

towards the end of 2021, levels of average excess liquidity, and its

corresponding impact on NIM, have continued to decline through September 30,

2022.

? PPP forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on

these loans, has declined significantly in 2022, as the vast majority of the

original portfolio has been forgiven. The average balance of the PPP loan

portfolio decreased $258 million, and related income decreased $3.7 million,

for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of

    2021.




Net interest income (FTE) increased $17.0 million, or 37%, for the three months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely as a
result of acquisition-related activity, but also driven in part by strong loan
growth, substantial investment in the investment securities portfolio and the
benefits of a rising interest rate environment.



Total average interest earning assets increased $1.42 billion, or 25%, to $7.18
billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same
period of 2021, with the average rate earned on total interest earning assets
climbing 50 bps to 3.74%.


? Average total loan balances increased $776 million, or 19%, for the three

months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Average

non-PPP loan growth of $1.03 billion, or 27%, was driven by

acquisition-related expansion and strong organic growth, which was partially

offset by a $258 million, or 92%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as

    forgiveness activity increased.



? Average investment securities grew $735 million, or 71%, for the three months

ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, attributed to a

    combination of strategically deploying excess liquidity through further
    investment and acquisition-related activity.



? Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances decreased $90 million,

or 17%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as loan growth,

investment in the securities portfolio and seasonal deposit run-off led to

lower levels of liquidity as compared to the same period of the prior year.





Total interest income (FTE) increased $20.5 million, or 44%, to $67.6 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of
2021.


? Interest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $13.4 million, or 31%, to

$56.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the

same period of 2021, driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in

the non-PPP portfolio and the rising rate environment, which more than offset

a $3.7 million, or 84%, decline in PPP-related income. The yield on the

overall loan portfolio increased 43 bps to 4.56% for the three months ended

September 30, 2022 compared to 4.13% for the same period of the prior year,

while the yield on the non-PPP loan portfolio increased 54 bps compared to the

prior year period, driven by the rising rate environment and strong loan

    growth.



? Significant growth in average investment securities led to a $4.7 million

increase in interest income (FTE) on the portfolio for the three months ended

September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driving a 52 bps, or

41%, increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. Substantial

deployment of excess liquidity over the past twelve months benefitted the

investment portfolio, as the yields earned on current year purchases have

    improved dramatically in tandem with rising rates.

? Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased

$2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as rising

short-term interest rates more than offset a $90 million decline in related

average balances. The yield on these assets increased 204 bps to 2.19% for the

three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021,

stemming from the dramatic increase in the FFTR over the past several months.





Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.00 billion, or 28%, to
$4.62 billion for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with
the same period in 2021, with the total average cost increasing 27 bps to 0.43%.



? Average interest bearing deposits increased $919 million, or 26%, for the

three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021,

with interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for $513 million, or 56%, of

the increase. The significant growth was attributed mainly to

acquisition-related activity, as $1.12 billion in deposits were added during

the first quarter of 2022 in relation to the CBT acquisition. Excluding

acquisition-related activity, period-end interest-bearing deposit balances

have declined in 2022, driven largely by seasonal fluctuation in public funds

    and time deposit attrition.



? Consistent with the average interest bearing deposit growth noted above,

average SSUAR balances increased $69 million, for the three months ended

    September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.




  ? Average FHLB advances decreased $10 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, as all

outstanding FHLB advances either matured or were paid off by the end of 2021.

? Subordinated debentures totaling $26 million were added as a result of the CB

    acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.




Total interest expense increased $3.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by
acquisition-related average balance growth, Bancorp's first deposit rate
increases in almost two years and debt assumed through the CB acquisition. As a
result, the percentage cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 27 bps to
0.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period
of 2021.


? Total interest bearing deposit expense increased $3.0 million as a result of

acquisition-related growth and the aforementioned deposit rate increases,

resulting in a 24 bps increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits.

Bancorp expects pricing pressure/competition stemming from the rising rate

environment to drive further deposit rate/cost increases in the coming months.

? SSUAR interest expense increased $170,000 for the three months ended September

30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, consistent with the

average balance growth and deposit rate increases noted above for interest

    bearing deposits.



? Interest expense totaling $359,000 was recorded for the three months ended

September 30, 2022, as a result of the subordinated debentures added through

    the CB acquisition, approximately $100,000 of which stems from purchase
    accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.



? No interest expense on FHLB advances was recorded for the three months ended

September 30, 2022, as all FHLB advances either matured or paid off by the end

2021, resulting in a decline of $51,000 compared to the same period of the

    prior year.

stood at a range of 3.00% - 3.25%, and Prime at 6.25%, as of September 30,

2022 as a result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB over the past

    two quarters.


  ? Substantial balance sheet growth stemming from both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth, which resulted in total average earning asset

growth of $1.85 billion, or 36%, and average interest-bearing liability growth

    of $1.30 billion, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
    compared to the same period of 2021.

? Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed to NIM compression

in both periods. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has

also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment. After reaching a peak

impact on NIM, have continued to decline through September 30, 2022.

? PPP forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on

these loans and has declined significantly in 2022, as the vast majority of

the original portfolio has been forgiven. The average balance of the PPP loan

portfolio decreased $410 million, and related income decreased $13.7 million,

for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of

    2021.



Net interest income (FTE) increased $43.6 million, or 35%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely as a
result of acquisition-related activity, but also driven in part by strong
organic loan growth, substantial investment in the investment securities
portfolio and the benefits of a rising interest rate environment.




Total average interest earning assets increased $1.85 billion, or 36%, to $6.94
billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same
period of 2021, with the average rate earned on total interest earning assets
unchanged at 3.41%.


? Average total loan balances increased $850 million, or 22%, for the nine

months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Average

non-PPP loan growth of $1.26 billion, or 37%, was driven by

acquisition-related expansion and strong organic growth, which was partially

offset by a $410 million, or 87%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as

    forgiveness activity increased.



? Average investment securities grew $800 million for the nine months ended

    September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, attributed to a
    combination of strategically deploying excess liquidity through further
    investment and acquisition-related activity.




  ? Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased $196

million, or 54%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to on-going

    excess balance sheet liquidity.




Total interest income (FTE) increased $47.3 million, or 36%, to $177.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of
2021.


? Interest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $31.9 million, or 26%, to

$152.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the

same period of 2021, driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in

the non-PPP portfolio and the rising rate environment, which more than offset

a $13.7 million, or 75%, decline in PPP-related income. The yield on the

overall loan portfolio climbed to 4.31% for the nine months ended September

    30, 2022, compared to 4.16% for the same period of 2021.



? Significant growth in average investment securities led to a $11.8 million

increase interest income (FTE) on the portfolio for the nine months ended

September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driving a 30 bps, or

22%, increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. Substantial

deployment of excess liquidity benefitted the investment portfolio as the

yields earned on recent purchases have improved dramatically in tandem with

    rising rates.

? Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased

$3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of

average balance growth stemming from excess balance sheet liquidity and rising

short term interest rates. The yield on these assets increased 79 bps to 0.92%

for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of

2021, stemming from the dramatic increase in the FFTR over the past several

    months.




Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.30 billion, or 40%, to
$4.52 billion for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared with
the same period in 2021, with the total average cost increasing 6 bps to 0.25%.



? Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.24 billion, or 39%, for the

nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, with

interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for $684 million, or 55%, of the

increase. The significant growth was attributed to both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth stemming from the general trend of customers

maintaining higher levels of liquidity over the past several quarters.

However, excluding acquisition-related activity, period-end deposit balances

have declined in 2022, driven largely by seasonal fluctuation in public funds

    and time deposit attrition.



? Consistent with the average interest bearing deposit growth noted above,

    average SSUAR balances increased $66 million, for the nine months ended
    September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.




  ? Average FHLB advances decreased $19 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, as all

outstanding FHLB advances either matured or were paid off by the end of 2021.

? Subordinated debentures totaling $26 million were added as a result of the CB

acquisition during the first quarter of 2022. The corresponding average

balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $20 million.





Total interest expense increased $3.7 million, or 79%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driven by
acquisition-related average balance growth, Bancorp's first deposit rate
increases in almost two years and debt assumed through the CB acquisition. As a
result, the percentage cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 6 bps to
0.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period
of 2021.


? Total interest bearing deposit expense increased $3.0 million, or 70%, as a

result of acquisition-related activity and the aforementioned deposit rate

increases, resulting in a 4 bps increase in the cost of interest bearing

deposits. Bancorp expects pricing pressure/competition stemming from the

rising rate environment to drive further deposit rate/cost increases in the

    coming months.



? Interest expense totaling $670,000 was recorded for the nine months ended

September 30, 2022 as a result of the subordinated debentures assumed through

    the CB acquisition, approximately $232,000 of which stems from purchase
    accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.



? No interest expense on FHLB advances was recorded for the nine months ended

September 30, 2022, as all FHLB advances either matured or paid off by the end

of 2021, resulting in a decline of $301,000 compared to the same period of the

    prior year.

Supplemental Information - Average Balance Sheets and Interest Rates (FTE)

? Average loan balances include the principal balance of non-accrual loans, as

well as unearned income such as loan premiums, discounts, fees/costs and

exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings. Participation

loans averaged $5 million for the three-month periods ended both September 30,

2022 and 2021, respectively. Participation loans averaged $5 million and $7

    million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,
    respectively.



? Interest income on a FTE basis includes additional amounts of interest income

that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest

earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the

same after-tax income. Interest income on municipal securities and tax-exempt

loans has been calculated on a FTE basis using a federal income tax rate of

21%. Approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were $232,000

and $160,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,

respectively, and $677,000 and $286,000 for the nine-month periods ended

    September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.



? Interest income includes loan fees of $2.2 million ($590,000 associated with

the PPP) and $4.2 million ($3.7 million associated with the PPP) for the

three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $8.9

million ($4.1 million associated with the PPP) and $16.3 million ($14.9

million associated with the PPP) for the nine-month periods ended September

30, 2022 and 2021. Interest income on loans may be materially impacted by the

level of prepayment fees collected and accretion related to purchased loans.

? Net interest income, the most significant component of Bancorp's earnings,

represents total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net

interest income is determined by mix and volume of interest earning assets,

interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.

? NIM represents net interest income on a FTE basis as a percentage of total

    average interest earning assets.



? Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference between taxable equivalent rates

earned on total interest earning assets less the cost of interest bearing

    liabilities.



? The fair market value adjustment on investment securities resulting from ASC

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk




Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry.
The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to neutralize effects
of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance
sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity with
the goal of optimizing net interest income within the constraints of prudent
capital adequacy, liquidity needs, market opportunities and customer funding
requirements.


Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis




Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of
an immediate change in interest rates on earnings in a one-year forecast. The
simulation model is designed to reflect dynamics of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities. By estimating effects of interest rate
fluctuations, the model can approximate interest rate risk exposure. This
simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a
specific change in interest rates at a given point in time. The model is
therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios
and may not indicate actual or expected results.



The results of the interest rate sensitivity analysis performed as of September
30, 2022 were derived from the long-term, conservative assumptions Bancorp uses
in the model, particularly in relation to deposit betas, which measure how
responsive management's deposit repricing may be to changes in market rates and
are based on historical data. The results presented below reflect an interest
rate sensitivity analysis that incorporates a deposit beta of approximately 65%.
However, given the level of liquidity currently held by Bancorp and in the
banking system generally, the Company anticipates actual deposit betas will
remain well below long-term averages through the end of 2022. The anticipated
lower deposit beta would result in the Company's interest rate sensitivity
position turning slightly asset sensitive. Further, Bancorp expects to realize
further benefits to net interest income and NIM from both the recent hikes and
anticipated future hikes in the quarters ahead.



Bancorp's interest rate simulation sensitivity analysis details that increases
in interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 bps would have a negative effect on net
interest income, respectively, while decreases of 100 and 200 bps in interest
rates would also have a negative effect on net interest income. These results
depict a relatively neutral interest rate risk profile. The decrease in net
interest income in the rising rate scenarios is primarily due to variable rate
loans and short-term investments repricing slower than deposits and short-term
borrowings. Asset balances subject to immediate repricing cause an estimated
decline in net interest income in the down 100 and 200 bps scenarios, as rates
on non-maturity deposits cannot be lowered sufficiently to offset declining
interest income. These estimates are summarized below.



                                                                     Change in Rates

Bancorp's loan portfolio is currently composed of approximately 69% fixed and
31% variable rate loans, with the fixed rate portion pricing generally based on
a spread to the five-year treasury curve at the time of origination and the
variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately
65%) or one month LIBOR/SOFR (approximately 35%).



In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the authority
regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that
LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. Subsequent to that
announcement, in November 2020, the FCA announced that many tenors of LIBOR
would continue to be published through June 2023. Subsequent to this, Bank
regulators instructed banks to discontinue new originations referencing LIBOR as
soon as possible, but no later than December 2021. Effective December 31, 2021,
Libor is no longer used to issue new loans in the U.S. It is expected to be
replaced primarily by the SOFR, which many experts consider a more accurate and
more secure pricing benchmark. To facilitate the transition process, management
has instituted an enterprise-wide program to identify, assess, and monitor risks
associated with the expected discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR.



On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act was signed into law
as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. This legislation
established a uniform benchmark replacement process for financial contracts that
mature after the cessation of LIBOR (scheduled for June 2023) that do not
contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The legislation also
established a safe harbor for lenders, providing protection from litigation
associated with choosing a replacement rate recommended by the FRB, such as
SOFR, and also allows for the continued use of any appropriate benchmark rate
for new contracts.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $455 million in loans
and $140 million (notional amount) in interest rate derivative contracts that
reference LIBOR. Each of the LIBOR-referenced amounts discussed above will vary
in future periods as current contracts expire with potential replacement
contracts using either LIBOR or an alternative reference rate. The Company, and
other industry participants, continue to review alternative reference rates that
could be utilized as a replacement for LIBOR. The Company had $76 million in
loans that were indexed to SOFR at September 30, 2022.



Periodically, Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers
who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time
entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching
terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated
derivative instruments and are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value,
with changes in fair value recorded in other non-interest income as interest
rates fluctuate. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts, in addition
to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk,
changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on
earnings, and are therefore not included in the simulation analysis results
above. For additional information, see the Footnote titled "Assets and
Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value."



In addition, Bancorp has historically used derivative financial instruments as
part of its interest rate risk management, including interest rate swaps
designated as cash flow hedges. For these derivatives, the effective portion of
gains or losses is reported as a component of AOCI, and is subsequently
reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods in
which the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of September 30,
2022, Bancorp had no outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow
hedges.

Provision for Credit Losses



Provision for credit losses on loans at September 30, 2022 represents the amount
of expense that, based on Management's judgment, is required to maintain the ACL
for loans at an appropriate level under the CECL model. The determination of the
amount of the ACL for loans is complex and involves a high degree of judgment
and subjectivity. See the Footnote titled "Basis of Presentation and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" for detailed discussion regarding Bancorp's ACL
methodology by loan segment in this document and Bancorp's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The ACL for loans totaled $70 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $54
million at December 31, 2021, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.38%
and 1.29% for those periods, respectively. The ACL to loans (excluding PPP
loans) was 1.39% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2021.
Based on the 100% SBA guarantee of the PPP loan portfolio, which totaled $19
million at September 30, 2022 and $141 million at December 31, 2021, Bancorp did
not reserve for potential losses for these loans within the ACL. See the section
titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP
measures.



Provision of $4.1 million was recorded to provision for credit losses on loans
expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, driven by strong
third quarter loan growth and to a lesser extent, a negative economic forecast.
For the second consecutive quarter, the projected unemployment rate forecast,
which is the primary loss driver with Bancorp's CECL model, increased due to
inflation and recession-based concerns. Further, net charge off activity for the
three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $382,000, serving to reduce the
ACL for loans slightly.



Provision expense (excluding acquisition-related activity) of $1.7 million was
recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. Strong loan growth,
the aforementioned increase in the projected unemployment rate forecast, along
with qualitative factor updates related to the potential impact of rising rates
on the C&I portfolio, have been the main drivers of expense within the CECL
model for 2022. Further, net charge off/recovery activity for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 has been minimal. However, the release of approximately
$3.0 million in specific reserves within the ACL for individual loans related to
recently acquired individual loans that ultimately paid off during the second
quarter with no loss or charge-off realized by Bancorp partially offset the
expense drivers noted above for nine month periods ending September 30, 2022.

Credit loss expense recorded for the acquired CB loan portfolio totaled $4.4
million and was recorded in the first quarter of 2022 upon closing of the CB
acquisition, bringing total provision for credit losses on loans to $6.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Further, the ACL for loans was
also increased $10 million as a result of the PCD loan portfolio added through
the CB acquisition during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).



Negative provision of $1 million was recorded for the three months ended
September 30, 2021, driven mainly by the benefits of improvement in the
unemployment forecast for the period. Provision for credit loss expense of $2.5
million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the
benefits of an improving unemployment forecast in that period were more than
offset by expense associated with the non-PCD loan portfolio added through the
KB acquisition.



While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also
experienced an increase between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. The CB
acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet
credit exposures during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).
Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures of
$800,000 was also recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022,
driven largely by the addition of new lines of credit, and thus increased
availability, largely within the C&D portfolio. The ACL for off balance sheet
credit exposures ended at $4.8 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $3.5
million as of December 31, 2021.



Bancorp's loan portfolio is well-diversified with no significant concentrations
of credit. Geographically, most loans are extended to borrowers in Louisville,
central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and
Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan markets. The adequacy of the ACL is monitored on
an ongoing basis and it is the opinion of management that the balance of the ACL
at September 30, 2022 is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan
portfolio as of the financial statement date.

Total non-interest income increased $7.3 million, or 41%, and $18.8 million, or
40%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to
the same periods of 2021, respectively. Non-interest income comprised 28.5% and
28.2% of total revenues, defined as net interest income and non-interest income,
for the three and nine month periods September 30, 2022 compared to 27.9% and
27.4% for the same periods of 2021. WM&T services comprised 36.8% and 40.7% of
total non-interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2022 compared to 40.5% and 42.8% for the same periods of 2021.
Acquisition-related activity has driven a significant portion of the
non-interest income increase for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of the prior year.



WM&T Services:



The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks
of similar asset size. WM&T revenue increased $2.0 million, or 28%, and $6.7
million, or 33%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022,
as compared with the same periods of 2021. Significant growth in AUM drove the
increases for both periods, consistent with both acquisition-related activity
and organic new business development. However, significant declines in both
fixed income and equity markets have weighed heavily on WM&T revenue in 2022,
particularly for the three months ended September 30, 2022.



Recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market
value of AUM and are typically assessed on a monthly basis. Recurring fees,
which generally comprise the vast majority of WM&T revenue, increased $2.0
million, or 31%, and $6.7 million, or 35%, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021. The
increase was driven by both acquisition-related activity and organic business
development.



A portion of WM&T revenue, most notably executor and certain employee benefit
plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues
corresponds with the related administrative activities. For this reason, such
fees are subject to greater period over period fluctuation. Total non-recurring
fees decreased $138,000 and $203,000 for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, which was driven
mainly by lower estate fee income earned.



AUM, stated at market value, totaled $6.30 billion at September 30, 2022
compared with $4.51 billion at September 30, 2021 and $4.80 billion at December
31, 2021. The large increase in AUM between September 30, 2021 and September 30,
2022 is attributed mainly to AUM of $2.65 billion added through the CB
acquisition, as well as organic net new business growth over the past twelve
months.



                                       91
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Contracts between WM&T and their customers do not permit performance-based fees
and accordingly, none of the WM&T revenue is performance based. Management
believes the WM&T department will continue to factor significantly in Bancorp's
financial results and provide strategic diversity to revenue streams.

The preceding table demonstrates that WM&T fee revenue is concentrated within
investment advisory and personal trust accounts. WM&T fees are predominantly
based on AUM and tailored for individual/company accounts and/or relationships
with fee structures customized based on account type and other factors with
larger relationships paying a lower percentage of AUM in fees. For example,
recurring AUM fee structures are in place for investment management, irrevocable
trusts, revocable trusts, personal investment retirement accounts and accounts
holding only fixed income securities. Company retirement plan services can
consist of a one-time conversion fee with recurring AUM fees to follow. While
there are also fee structures for estate settlements, income received is often
non-recurring in nature. Fee structures are agreed upon at the time of account
opening and any subsequent revisions are communicated in writing to the
customer. Fees earned are not performance-based nor are they based on investment
strategy or transactions. Bancorp also earns management fees on in-house
investment funds acquired from CB.

hold investment discretion.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 79% and 81%,
respectively, of AUM were actively managed. Company retirement plan accounts
consist primarily of participant-directed assets. The amount of custody and
safekeeping accounts are insignificant.

(1) Includes client directed instruments including rights, warrants, annuities,

      insurance policies, unit investment trusts, and oil and gas rights.




Managed assets are invested in instruments for which market values can be
readily determined, the majority of which are sensitive to market fluctuations
and consist of approximately 62% in equities and 38% in fixed income securities
as of September 30, 2022 compared to 68% and 32% as of December 31, 2021. This
composition has remained relatively consistent from period to period.





Additional Sources of Non-interest income:




Deposit service charges, which consist of non-sufficient funds charges and to a
lesser extent, other activity based charges, increased $411,000, or 23%, and
$2.2 million, or 55%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, mainly as a result of the
contribution associated with acquisition-related activity over the past twelve
months. Outside of acquisition-related growth, an industry-wide decline in the
volume of fees earned on overdrawn checking accounts has been experienced over
the past several years. This trend has been driven by lower check presentment
volume, which has in turn led to fewer overdrawn accounts in general. Further,
Bancorp anticipates that future growth of this revenue stream could be
significantly impacted by changing industry practices. Bancorp could be faced
with strategic decisions surrounding deposit-related service charges in the
future, which could negatively impact the contributions made by this, or
similar, revenue streams.



Debit and credit card income consists of interchange revenue, ancillary fees and
incentives received from card processors. Debit and credit card revenue
increased $823,000, or 21%, and $4.1 million, or 44%, for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of
2021, as a result of increased transaction volume and continued expansion of the
customer bases, both organically and through acquisition-related activity. Total
debit card income increased $503,000, or 18%, and $2.9 million, or 43%, and
total credit card income increased $320,000, or 28%, and $1.3 million, or 45%,
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, compared the same
periods of the prior year. Bancorp expects this revenue stream will continue to
grow with the expansion of the customer base.



Treasury management fees primarily consist of fees earned for cash management
services provided to commercial customers. This category continues to stand out
as a consistent, growing source of revenue for Bancorp and increased $450,000,
or 25%, and $1.3 million, or 25%, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven by
increased transaction volume, new product sales and customer base expansion.
Both organic and acquisition-related sales efforts have led to the expansion of
online services, reporting, ACH origination, remote deposit and fraud mitigation
services over the past twelve months. Bancorp anticipates this income category
will continue to increase based on continued customer base growth and the
expanding suite of services offered within Bancorp's treasury management
platform.

Mortgage banking income primarily includes gains on sales of mortgage loans and
net loan servicing income offset by MSR amortization. Bancorp's mortgage banking
department predominantly originates residential mortgage loans to be sold in the
secondary market, primarily to FNMA and FHLMC. Bancorp offers conventional, VA,
FHA and GNMA financing for purchases and refinances, as well as programs for
first-time homebuyers. Interest rates on mortgage loans directly influence the
volume of business transacted by the mortgage-banking department. Mortgage
banking revenue decreased $212,000, or 23%, and $661,000, or 18%, for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same
periods of 2021. Overall volume has declined in 2022 compared to the prior year
as a result of rising interest rates and low housing inventory. While this has
in turn led to the three and nine month period declines noted above, mortgage
banking income has benefitted from the addition of the mortgage loan servicing
portfolio added through the CB acquisition, which serviced approximately $1.48
billion in mortgage loans at the time it was acquired.



Net investment product sales commissions and fees are generated primarily on
stock, bond and mutual fund sales, as well as wrap fees earned on brokerage
accounts. Wrap fees represent charges for investment programs that bundle
together a suite of services, such as brokerage, advisory, research and
management and are based on a percentage of account assets. Bancorp deploys its
financial advisors primarily through its branch network via an arrangement with
a third party broker-dealer, while larger managed accounts are serviced by
Bancorp's WM&T Department. Net investment product sales commissions and fees
increased $112,000, or 14%, and $441,000, or 25%, for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021,
driven by acquisition-related growth, which included the addition of three
financial advisors, and increased trading activity associated with general
market volatility.



BOLI assets represent the cash surrender value of life insurance policies on
certain active and non-active employees who have provided consent for Bancorp to
be the beneficiary for a portion of such policies. The related change in cash
surrender value and any death benefits received under the policies are recorded
as non-interest income. This income serves to offset the cost of various
employee benefits. During the third quarter of 2022, Bancorp purchased an
additional $30 million of BOLI assets in an effort to diversify investment of
excess liquidity, bringing total BOLI assets to $84 million as of September 30,
2022. BOLI income increased $241,000, or 88%, and $410,000, or 64%, for the
three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2022 compared to the same
periods of the prior year, which was attributed mainly to the additional
investment noted above and contributions from the BOLI portfolio added as a
result of the KB acquisition in May of 2021.



During the third quarter of 2022, Bancorp completed the sale of certain acquired
properties that overlapped with existing locations, recording a gain of $3.1
million as a result. No such activity was recorded in 2021.



Other non-interest income increased $327,000, or 30%, and $1.3 million, or 51%,
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared with the
same periods of 2021. The increases were driven largely by the contribution from
LFA, a financial advising firm added through the CB acquisition, the insurance
captive acquired through the KB acquisition in May of 2021 and an increase in
other miscellaneous fee income.

Total non-interest expenses increased $10.3 million, or 30%, and $38.1 million,
or 35%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared
to the same periods of 2021, the variances stemming largely from the CB and KB
acquisitions. Compensation and employee benefits comprised 60.7% and 52.4% of
Bancorp's total non-interest expenses for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2022, compared to 60.9% and 52.2% for the same periods of 2021.
Excluding merger expenses, compensation and employee benefits comprised 60.7%
and 60.5% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022,
compared to 61.8% and 63.3% for the same periods of 2021.



Compensation, which includes salaries, incentives, bonuses and stock based
compensation, increased $5.7 million, or 33%, and $17.4 million, or 38%, for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same
periods of 2021. The increases were attributed largely to growth in full time
equivalent employees, as well as annual merit-based salary increases. Net full
time equivalent employees totaled 1,028 at September 30, 2022 compared to 820 at
December 31, 2021 and 793 at September 30, 2021. The acquisitions of KB in May
of 2021 and CB in the first quarter of 2022 resulted in the addition of 372 full
time equivalent employees and the correlating increase in compensation expense.



Employee benefits consists of all personnel-related expense not included in
compensation, with the most significant items being health insurance, payroll
taxes and employee retirement plan contributions. Employee benefits increased
$517,000, or 14%, and $2.9 million, or 28%, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven
primarily by the overall increase in full time equivalent employees noted above.



Net occupancy and equipment expenses primarily include depreciation, rent,
property taxes, utilities and maintenance. Costs of capital asset additions flow
through the statement of income over the lives of the assets in the form of
depreciation expense. Net occupancy expense increased $1.0 million, or 38%, and
$3.4 million, or 49%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven by the two acquisitions
completed over the past twelve months. In connection with the CB acquisition, 15
branches were acquired, four of which were closed shortly after acquisition in
addition to one existing SYB location, as a result of branch overlap. The KB
acquisition in May of 2021 resulted in the addition of 19 branch locations in
addition to operational buildings. At September 30, 2022, Bancorp's branch
network consists of 73 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern and
Northern Kentucky, as well as the MSAs of Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati,
Ohio.

Technology and communication expenses include computer software amortization,
equipment depreciation and expenditures related to investments in technology
needed to maintain and improve the quality of customer delivery channels,
information security and internal resources. Technology expense increased
$574,000, or 18%, and $3.0 million, or 36%, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021, consistent with
acquisition-related activity, customer expansion and core system upgrades.



Bancorp outsources processing for debit and commercial credit card operations,
which generate significant revenue for the Company. These expenses typically
fluctuate consistent with transaction volumes. Debit and credit card processing
expense decreased $42,000, or 3%, and increased $1.3 million, or 40%, for the
three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2022 compared to the same
periods of last year. The decrease for the three month period stems from
expenses incurred in the prior year period associated with the timing of the KB
core conversion. The increase for the nine month period correlates in part with
the increase in transaction volume and customer base expansion resulting from
both organic and acquisition-related growth that served to increase
corresponding debit and credit card non-interest income.



Marketing and business development expenses include all costs associated with
promoting Bancorp including community support, retaining customers and acquiring
new business. Marketing and business development expenses increased $233,000, or
23%, and $1.1 million, or 47%, for the three and nine month periods ending
September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The increases
correspond with strategic decisions to advertise and promote in Bancorp's new
markets, as well as the general expansion of Bancorp's existing and prospective
customer base and a post-pandemic return to in-person client
meeting/entertainment.



Postage, printing and supplies expense increased $273,000, or 43%, and $962,000,
or 64%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared
to the same periods of 2021, consistent with increased customer communication
and Bancorp's expansion tied to acquisition-related activity over the past
twelve months.



Legal and professional fees increased $74,000, or 11%, and $623,000, or 34%, for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same
periods of last year, attributed to various consulting engagements,
collection-related expenses and litigation costs arising through the normal
course of business. Legal and professional fees associated with merger-related
activity are captured in merger expenses.



FDIC insurance increased $460,000, or 119%, and $887,000, or 78%, for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods
of 2021, consistent with organic and acquisition-related balance sheet growth
for which the insurance is assessed on, and to a lesser extent, an increased
assessment rate.



Tax credit partnerships generate federal income tax credits, and for each of
Bancorp's investments in tax credit partnerships, the tax benefit, net of
related expenses, results in a positive effect on net income. Amounts of credits
and corresponding expenses can vary widely depending upon the timing and
magnitude of the underlying investments. Amortization expense associated with
these investments increased $35,000 and decreased $50,000 for the three and nine
month periods ending September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of last
year.



Capital and deposit based taxes, which consist primarily of capital-based local
income taxes and franchise taxes, increased $166,000, or 30%, and $281,000, or
18%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to
the same periods of 2021, attributed to both organic and acquisition-related
growth.



Merger expenses represent non-recurring expenses associated with completion of
the CB acquisition and consist primarily of investment banker fees, various
compensation-related expenses, legal fees, early termination fees relating to
various contracts and system conversion expenses. Merger expenses totaled $0 and
$19.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022,
compared to $0 and $19.0 million for the same periods of 2021.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an early termination fee of
$474,000 was recorded in relation to the pre-payment of FHLB advances totaling
$14 million prior to their respective contractual maturities. Bancorp chose to
payoff these term advances during the second quarter of 2021 due to excess
liquidity held on the balance sheet and the near-term outlook for low interest
rates at the time of payoff. Bancorp currently has no FHLB advances outstanding.



Intangible amortization expense consists of amortization associated with the CDI
of acquired deposit portfolios, as well as other intangibles related to customer
lists of the WM&T and LFA business lines added through the CB acquisition. The
intangibles are generally amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of
approximately ten years. Intangible amortization for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2022 was $1.6 million and $3.9 million,
respectively, compared to $290,000 and $494,000 for the same periods of the
prior year, the significant increase stemming from the CB acquisition.

Other non-interest expenses increased $507,000 and $3.0 million for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods
of 2021. The most notable drivers of the increases were expenses associated with
the addition of the insurance captive as a result of the KB acquisition in May
of 2021, increased card reward expense, higher fraud-related expenses and other
ancillary expenses tied to Bancorp's significant growth over the past twelve
months.



Bancorp's efficiency ratio (FTE) for the three month period ended September 30,
2022 was 51.30%, while the ratio for the corresponding nine month period was
62.11%, the latter reflecting one-time merger-related expenses attributed to the
CB acquisition, which were all recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Bancorp's
efficiency ratio for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021
was 54.63% and 62.47%. Bancorp also considers an adjusted efficiency ratio,
which eliminates net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of
investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of acquired
premises and equipment, if applicable, and the fluctuation in non-interest
expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and
non-recurring merger expenses. Bancorp's adjusted efficiency ratio was 53.06%
and 54.41% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022
compared to 53.72% and 51.25% for three and nine months ended September 30,
2021. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconcilement of
non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

Fluctuations in the ETR are primarily attributed to the following:

? The stock based compensation component of the ETR fluctuates consistent with

the level of SAR exercise activity. The ETR was reduced 1.3% for the nine

month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to a reduction of 1.7% for the

same period of 2021, as a result of increased levels of exercise activity.

? Changes in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies can vary widely

from period to period, driven largely by changes in the markets. The related

impact is inversely correlated with the ETR generally, with cash surrender

value declines typically serving to increase the ETR and vice versa. Changes

in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies increased the ETR 0.6%

for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a 0.7% decrease for

the same period of the prior year.

? Bancorp invests in certain partnerships that yield federal income tax credits.

Taken as a whole, the tax benefit of these investments exceeds amortization

expense, resulting in a positive impact on net income. The timing and

magnitude of these transactions may vary widely from period to period. The ETR

for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was reduced by 0.5% and

1.1%, respectively. The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and

2021 was reduced by 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively.

? Tax-exempt interest income earned on loans and investment securities reduced

the ETR 0.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to a

reduction of 0.3% for the same period of the prior year, the larger reduction

in the current year being attributed to tax-exempt loans and securities added

through acquisitions over the past twelve months.

? Non-deductible merger expenses recorded during the nine month period ended

September 30, 2022 served to increase the ETR 0.2%, compared to an increase of

    0.5% for the same period of 2021.


  ? As a result of the KB acquisition in May of 2021, Bancorp acquired an

insurance captive. The Captive provides insurance against certain risks for

which insurance may not currently be available or economically feasible to

Bancorp and SYB, as well as a group of third-party insurance captives. The tax

advantages of the Captive, including the tax-deductible nature of premiums

paid to the Captive as well as the tax-exemption for premiums received by the

Captive, serve to reduce income tax expense. Related activity reduced the ETR

0.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to reduction

    of 0.2% for the same period of 2021.

Financial Condition - September 30, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021




Overview



Total assets increased $908 million, or 14%, to $7.55 billion at September 30,
2022 from $6.65 billion at December 31, 2021. Total assets of $1.34 billion were
added on March 7, 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition, including loans of
$632 million (net of purchase accounting adjustments) and total investment
securities of $247 million. In addition, goodwill of $67 million was recorded in
relation to the transaction. Total loans (excluding loans added through the CB
acquisition and the PPP portfolio) grew $395 million, or 10%, between December
31, 2021 and September 30, 2022.



Total liabilities increased $853 million, or 14%, to $6.82 billion at September
30, 2022 from $5.97 billion at December 31, 2021. Total liabilities of $1.24
billion were assumed on March 7, 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition,
including total deposits of $1.12 billion. Further, SSUAR totaling $66 million
and subordinated debentures of $26 million were also assumed as a result of the
CB acquisition.



Stockholders' equity increased $52 million, or 8%, to $728 million at September
30, 2022 from $676 million at December 31, 2021. Stock issued in relation to the
CB acquisition, which totaled $134 million, and net income of $63.2 million were
offset by a $120 million negative fluctuation in AOCI and dividends declared
during the first nine months of 2022. The large decline in AOCI from December
31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was the result of the rising interest rate
environment and its corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt
securities portfolio.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents declined $631 million, or 66%, ending at $330 million
at September 30, 2022 compared to $961 million at December 31, 2021. The decline
stemmed mainly from loan growth, investment in the securities portfolio and
seasonal deposit run-off. The average balance of cash and cash equivalents
increased $233 million over the past twelve months, as Bancorp has maintained
elevated levels of liquidity stemming from the PPP and deposit growth associated
with both acquisition-related activity and the customer base maintaining higher
deposit balances in general for several quarters. However, excluding
acquisition-related activity, period-end deposit balances have declined in 2022,
driven largely by seasonal fluctuation in public funds and time deposit
attrition.



Investment Securities



Investment securities increased $447 million, or 38%, to $1.63 billion at
September 30, 2022 compared to $1.18 billion at December 31, 2021. In addition
to $247 million of securities being added as a result of the CB acquisition,
Bancorp continued to actively invest in the securities portfolio in an effort to
deploy excess liquidity by purchasing $640 million of debt securities during the
nine months ended September 30, 2022. Partially offsetting growth associated
with purchasing and acquisition-related activity was scheduled
maturity/amortization and prepayment activity, as well as market depreciation of
approximately $158 million stemming from an upward move in the interest rate
environment experienced during the first three quarters of 2022.



A portion of the securities added during the first quarter of 2022, through both
acquisition and normal investment activity, were classified as HTM. As of
September 30, 2022, Bancorp's investment security portfolio consisted of AFS and
HTM securities as detailed below:



                                            AFS                HTM               Total

Premises and Equipment



Premises and equipment are presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of
related depreciation on the respective assets, as well as fair value adjustments
associated with purchase accounting. Premises and equipment increased $22
million, or 28%, between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, driven by the
CB acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, 15 branches were acquired, four
of which were closed shortly acquisition as a result of overlapping with
existing locations of the Bank. Bancorp's branch network currently consists of
73 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern and northern, Kentucky, as
well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs.



Premises held for sale totaling $10 million are also recorded on Bancorp's
consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022, which consist of five
properties, three of which were added through recent acquisitions and two legacy
operational buildings. Bancorp expects the sale of these properties to be
completed during the fourth quarter of 2022 or the first part of 2023.



Goodwill



At September 30 2022, Bancorp had $203 million in goodwill recorded on its
balance sheet, including $67 million recorded with the March 7, 2022 acquisition
of CB. As permitted under GAAP, management has up to 12 months following the
date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired assets and
assumed liabilities related to the CB acquisition. During this measurement
period, Bancorp may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional
amounts recorded at the acquisition date.



Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic
conditions, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (i.e. stock price
falling below tangible book value), negative trends in overall financial
performance and regulatory action. At September 30, 2022, Bancorp elected to
perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not
that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value,
including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was not
more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting units exceeded
their fair value.


Core Deposit and Customer List Intangibles




CDIs and CLIs arising from business acquisitions are initially measured at fair
value and are then amortized on an accelerated method based on their useful
lives. As a result of the 2022 CB acquisition, a CDI asset of $13 million was
recorded. As a result of the 2021 KB acquisition, a CDI asset of $4 million was
recorded. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Bancorp's CDI assets
were $16 million and $6 million, respectively.



CLI assets totaling $14 million were also recorded in association with the CB
acquisition. Of this total, $12 million was attributed to CB's WM&T segment and
$2 million attributed to LFA. No similar assets were recorded in relation to the
KB acquisition. As of September 30, 2022, Bancorp's CLI assets totaled $13
million.



Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets increased $50 million, or 58%, to $136 million at September 30,
2022
. Other liabilities increased $66 million, or 68%, to $163 million at
September 30, 2022.




The increase in other assets stems largely from a $31 million increase in DTAs
driven by the significant market depreciation experienced within the AFS debt
securities portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 associated
with rising interest rates. The rising interest rate environment also drove an
$8 million increase in Bancorp's interest rate swap assets. Further, $13 million
in MSR assets were added during the first quarter in relation to the CB
acquisition.



As of September 30, 2022, Bancorp did not incur any impairment with respect to
its intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

30, 2022, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans related to
acquisition-related expansion and strong organic loan growth, which more than
offset a $121 million decline in the PPP loan portfolio.



Excluding the loans acquired through the CB acquisition and the PPP portfolio,
loan growth of $395 million, or 10%, was experienced between December 31, 2021
and September 30, 2022, driven by solid organic growth across virtually every
loan portfolio segment.



After hitting a pandemic-era low of 36.5% at March 31, 2021, total line of
credit utilization has improved significantly, reaching 39.6% at September 30,
2022, led by C&I utilization, which strengthened from 23.9% to 29.5% over the
same period, respectively. However, line of credit usage has remained below
pre-pandemic levels, with customers continuing to maintain elevated levels of
liquidity amidst current economic uncertainty. Further, the addition of new
lines, particularly within the C&D and C&I portfolio segments, has increased
availability through the first nine months of 2022, but utilization of the new
lines has been relatively slow.



PPP loans of $19 million were outstanding at September 30, 2022. Bancorp has
$380,000 in net unrecognized fees related to the PPP as of September 30, 2022,
which will be recognized immediately once the loans are paid off or forgiven by
the SBA. The timing of forgiveness activity and the related fee recognition has
become less significant, as the balance of the overall portfolio has shrunk.



Bancorp's credit exposure is diversified with secured and unsecured loans to
individuals and businesses. No specific industry concentration exceeds 10% of
loans outstanding. While Bancorp has a diversified loan portfolio, a customer's
ability to honor contracts is somewhat dependent upon the economic stability
and/or industry in which that customer does business. Loans outstanding and
related unfunded commitments are primarily concentrated within Bancorp's current
market areas, which encompass Louisville, Kentucky, central, eastern and
northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio
MSAs.



Bancorp occasionally enters into loan participation agreements with other banks
to diversify credit risk. For certain participation loans sold, Bancorp has
retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the
participating institutions from pledging or selling their ownership share of the
loan without permission from Bancorp. GAAP requires the participated portion of
these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings. These participated loans are
included in the C&I and CRE loan portfolio segments with a corresponding
liability recorded in other liabilities. At both September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, the total participated portion of loans of this nature totaled $5
million.

In the event where Bancorp structures a loan with a maturity exceeding five
years (typically CRE loans), an automatic rate adjustment will typically be set
in place at five years from origination date to limit interest rate sensitivity.

As of September 30, 2022, non-accrual loans totaled $11 million. The increase in
total non-accrual loans between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 stemmed
mainly from non-accrual loans added through the CB acquisition.



Delinquent Loans



Delinquent loans (consisting of all loans 30 days or more past due) totaled $13
million and $11 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The
increase between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 was driven mainly by
two large C&I relationships that became delinquent. Delinquent loans to total
loans were 0.26% at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans




The ACL for loans is a valuation allowance for loans estimated at each balance
sheet date in accordance with GAAP. When Bancorp deems all or a portion of a
loan to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is
reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
ACL when received. See the Footnote titled "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies" for discussion of Bancorp's ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of
the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ACL for loans is
available for any loan that, in Bancorp's judgment, should be charged-off.



The following table reflects activity in the ACL on loans for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2022:

Bancorp's ACL for loans was $70 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $54
million as of December 31, 2021. The change in the ACL for loans was driven by a
number of competing factors, which resulted in the $16 million, or 30%, increase
experienced for the first nine months of 2022. Acquisition-related activity was
responsible for a total increase to the ACL for loans of $14 million in 2022,
comprised of a $10 million day one adjustment for specific reserves placed on
acquired PCD loans (offset to goodwill) and $4.4 million of provision for credit
loss expense on loans related to the remaining acquired non-PCD loan portfolio.



Provision for credit loss expense on loans (excluding acquisition-related
activity) of $2 million was recorded for the first nine months of 2022, further
increasing the ACL for loans. Increased expense within the CECL model was driven
primarily by significant organic loan growth and increase of the projected
unemployment rate forecast, which is the primary loss driver with Bancorp's CECL
model, which has been driven by inflation and recession-based concerns.
Partially offsetting the increased expense noted above was the release of
approximately $3.0 million in specific reserves within the ACL for individual
loans related to recently acquired individual loans that ultimately paid off
during the second quarter with no loss or charge-off realized by Bancorp.



In addition, net recovery activity of $153,000 was recorded for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, as charge off and recovery activity for the year has
been largely offsetting, serving to increase the ACL for loans.



The ACL for loans calculation and resulting credit loss expense is significantly
impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Should the forecast for
economic conditions change, Bancorp could experience further adjustments in its
required ACL for loans credit loss expense.



The following table sets forth the ACL by category of loan:

While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also
experienced an increase between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. The CB
acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet
credit exposures during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).
Provision for credit loss expense of $800,000 was also recorded for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new
construction loans. ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures stood at $4.8
million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $3.5 million as of December 31,
2021.

Total deposits increased $713 million, or 12%, from December 31, 2021 to
September 30, 2022. At acquisition date, deposits totaling $1.12 billion were
assumed as a result of the CB acquisition. Excluding the deposits acquired
through the CB acquisition, deposits decreased $407 million, or 7%, during the
first nine months of 2022, attributed mainly to seasonal deposit run-off and
time deposit attrition.


Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase




SSUAR represent a funding source of Bancorp and are primarily used by commercial
customers in conjunction with collateralized corporate cash management accounts.
Such repurchase agreements are considered financing agreements and mature within
one business day from the transaction date. At September 30, 2022 and December
31, 2021, all of these financing arrangements had overnight maturities and were
secured by government sponsored enterprise obligations and government agency
mortgage-backed securities that were owned and controlled by Bancorp.

SSUARs are collateralized by securities and are treated as financings;
accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets
and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the
securities are reflected as liabilities. All securities underlying the
agreements are under the Bank's control.




SSUARs increased $49 million, or 65%, between December 31, 2021 and September
30, 2022, as SSUAR totaling $66 million were assumed as part of the CB
acquisition. The remaining fluctuation in SSUAR is consistent with the decrease
in deposit balances previously noted (excluding acquisition-related activity).



Subordinated debentures



As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of
the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust
III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The
sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned
in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS
are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related
interest expense are included in Bancorp's consolidated financial statements.
The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp's option on a
quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2022, subordinated notes added through the
CB acquisition totaled $26 million.



Liquidity



The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet
depositors' withdrawal and borrowers' credit demands while at the same time
maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand
for funds with changes in supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by
short-term assets that can be converted to cash, AFS debt securities, various
lines of credit available to Bancorp, and the ability to attract funds from
external sources, principally deposits. Management believes it has the ability
to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than market
rate.



Bancorp's Asset/Liability Committee is comprised of senior management and has
direct oversight responsibility for Bancorp's liquidity position and profile. A
combination of reports provided to management details internal liquidity
metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences
in short-term cash flow obligations, and exposure to contingent draws on
Bancorp's liquidity.



Bancorp's most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, FFS and
AFS debt securities. FFS and interest bearing deposits totaled $236 million and
$899 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The
decrease experienced for the first nine months of 2022 is attributed to
significant investment in the securities portfolio, strong organic loan growth
and a general decline in deposits. FFS normally have overnight maturities while
interest-bearing deposits in banks are accessible on demand. These investments
are used for general daily liquidity purposes.



The fair value of the AFS debt security portfolio was $1.15 billion and $1.18
billion at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. The lack of
growth in AFS debt security portfolio for the first nine months of 2022 is
attributed to both classifying securities purchased and acquired during the
first quarter as HTM for general capital purposes, as well as significant market
depreciation experienced on the AFS portfolio since December 31, 2021 due to
rising rates. The investment portfolio (HTM and AFS) includes scheduled
maturities of $44 million and cash flows on amortizing debt securities of
approximately $223 million (based on assumed prepayment speeds as of September
30, 2022) expected over the next twelve months. Combined with FFS and interest
bearing deposits from banks, AFS debt securities offer substantial resources to
meet either loan growth or reductions in Bancorp's deposit funding base. Bancorp
pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public funds,
cash balances of certain WM&T accounts and SSUAR. At September 30, 2022, total
investment securities pledged for these purposes comprised 60% of the debt
securities portfolio, leaving approximately $656 million of unpledged debt
securities.



Bancorp's deposit base consists mainly of core deposits, defined as time
deposits less than or equal to $250,000, demand, savings, and money market
deposit accounts, and excludes public funds and brokered deposits. At September
30, 2022, such deposits totaled $5.88 billion and represented 90% of Bancorp's
total deposits, as compared with $5.05 billion, or 87% of total deposits at
December 31, 2021. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often
tied to other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships, they do
not place undue pressure on liquidity. However, many of Bancorp's individual
depositors are currently maintaining generally high balances. These excess
balances may be more sensitive to market rates, with potential decreases
possibly straining Bancorp's liquidity position.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Bancorp held brokered deposits
totaling $1 million and $5 million, respectively, all of which is attributed to
deposits added through acquisition-related activity over the past twelve months.



Included in total deposit balances at September 30, 2022 are $530 million in
public funds generally comprised of accounts with local government agencies and
public school districts in the markets in which Bancorp operates. At December
31, 2021, public funds deposits totaled $645 million, the decrease experienced
during the first nine months of 2022 is attributed to anticipated seasonal
deposit run-off.



Bancorp is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a member of the FHLB, Bancorp
has access to credit products of the FHLB. Bancorp views these borrowings as a
potential low cost alternative to brokered deposits. At September 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, available credit from the FHLB totaled $1.36 billion and
$1.00 billion, respectively. Bancorp also had unsecured FFP lines with
correspondent banks totaling $90 million and $80 million at September 30, 2022
and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, Bancorp had borrowing capacity
of $20 million available through an unsecured borrowing line at the holding
company as of September 30, 2022.



During the normal course of business, Bancorp enters into certain forms of
off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters
of credit. These transactions are managed through Bancorp's various risk
management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance
sheet transactions in its evaluation of Bancorp's liquidity.



Bancorp's principal source of cash is dividends paid to it as the sole
shareholder of the Bank. As discussed in the Footnote titled "Commitments and
Contingent Liabilities," as of January 1st of any year, the Bank may pay
dividends in an amount equal to the Bank's net income of the prior two years
less any dividends paid for the same two years. At September 30, 2022, the Bank
could pay an amount equal to $63 million in dividends to Bancorp without
regulatory approval subject to ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.



Sources and Uses of Cash



Cash flow is provided primarily through financing activities of Bancorp, which
include raising deposits and borrowing funds from institutional sources such as
advances from FHLB and FFP, as well as scheduled loan repayments and cash flows
from debt securities. These funds are primarily used to facilitate investment
activities of Bancorp, which include making loans and purchasing securities for
the investment portfolio. Another important source of cash is net income of the
Bank from operating activities.  For further detail regarding the sources and
uses of cash, see the "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" in Bancorp's
consolidated financial statements.



Commitments



In the normal course of business, Bancorp is party to activities that contain
credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part
in Bancorp's consolidated financial statements. Such activities include
traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, commitments
under operating leases and long-term debt.



Bancorp provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan
commitments and standby letters of credit. Unused loan commitments increased
$457 million, or 27%, as of September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021,
the increase being driven by both the CB acquisition and the addition of new
lines of credit. Total average line of credit utilization declined to 39.6% as
of September 30, 2022 compared to 41.2% at December 31, 2021, however, both
represent significant improvement from the pandemic-era low of 36.5% experienced
at March 31, 2021. C&I line of credit utilization was 29.5% at September 30,
2022 compared to 31.8% at December 31, 2021 and 28.8% at September 30, 2021.



Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as
collateral is available as agreed upon and there is no violation of any
condition established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and
collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for
on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer's creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on
management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, securities, equipment and real estate.
However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default
on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss,
without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments.

The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, which is separate from the ACL
for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets,
stood at $4.8 million and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, respectively. The CB acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the
ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). In addition, $800,000 of
provision expense was recorded for the nine month period ended September 30,
2022, driven largely by the addition of new lines, and thus increased
availability, mainly within the C&D portfolio.



Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party beneficiary. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support commercial transactions. Standby
letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.




In addition to owned banking facilities, Bancorp has entered into long-term
leasing arrangements for certain branch facilities. Bancorp also has required
future payments for a non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, TPS and the
maturity of time deposits.


See the footnote titled "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" for additional
detail.






Capital



At September 30, 2022, stockholders' equity totaled $728 million, representing
an increase of $52 million, or 8%, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase
for the first nine months of 2022 was attributed mainly to stock issued in
relation to the CB acquisition, which totaled $134 million. Further, net income
of $63.2 million was offset by a $120 million negative change in AOCI and
dividends declared during the first nine months of 2022. AOCI consists of net
unrealized gains or losses on AFS debt securities and a minimum pension
liability, each net of income taxes. The large decline in AOCI from December 31,
2021 to September 30, 2022 was the result of the rising interest rate
environment and its corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt
securities portfolio. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly
guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies,
and have a long history of no credit losses. See the "Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Stockholders' Equity" for further detail of changes in equity.



As a result of the large interest-rate driven changes in AOCI noted above, as
well as acquisition-related growth, Bancorp's TCE ratio and tangible book value
per share, both non-GAAP disclosures, experienced declines between December 31,
2021 and September 30, 2022. TCE was 6.78% at September 30, 2022 compared to
8.22% at December 31, 2021, while tangible book value per share was $16.94 at
September 30, 2022 compared to $20.09 at December 31, 2021. See the section
titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP
measures.



In May 2021, Bancorp's Board of Directors extended its share repurchase program
authorizing the repurchase of up to 1 million shares, or approximately 4% of
Bancorp's total common shares outstanding at the time. The plan, which will
expire in May 2023 unless otherwise extended or completed at an earlier date,
does not obligate Bancorp to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of
shares prior to the plan's expiration. Based on economic developments over the
past year and the increased importance of capital preservation, no shares were
repurchased in 2021, nor the first nine months of 2022. Approximately 741,000
shares remain eligible for repurchase under the current repurchase plan.

Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to
meet risk-based capital standards. These standards, or ratios, measure the
relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet
risks. The value of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted
to reflect credit risks. See the Footnote titled "Regulatory Matters" for
additional detail regarding regulatory capital requirements, as well as capital
ratios of Bancorp and the Bank. The Bank exceeds regulatory capital ratios
required to be well-capitalized. Regulatory framework does not define well
capitalized for holding companies. Management considers the effects of growth on
capital ratios as it contemplates plans for expansion.



The following table sets forth consolidated Bancorp's and the Bank's risk based
capital ratios:



                                                     September 30, 2022       December 31, 2021

Bank                                                               11.67                   12.42

Bank                                                               10.64                   11.56

Bank                                                               10.64                   11.56

Bank                                                                8.45                    8.57






(1)  Under regulatory risk-based capital guidelines, assets and
credit-equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet credit exposures
are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk
category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. Weighted
values are added together, resulting in Bancorp's total risk-weighted assets.
These ratios are computed in relation to average assets.



(2)  Ratio is computed in relation to average assets.



Capital ratios as of September 30, 2022 decreased compared December 31, 2021 as
a result of substantial average asset and risk-weighted asset growth, driven by
both organic and acquisition-related activity. While pressure was placed on
risk-based capital and leverage ratios due to this growth, Bancorp continues to
exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank
intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the
"well-capitalized" requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition
to the capital conservation buffer.



Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To meet the
definition of well-capitalized for prompt corrective action requirements, a bank
must have a minimum 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.0%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio and 5.0%
Tier 1 Leverage ratio.



Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including
dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive
officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer
composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based
capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier
1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be
considered adequately-capitalized. At September 30, 2022, the
adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were
a 7.0% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based
Capital ratio and 10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio.



As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of
the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust
III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The
sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned
in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS
are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related
interest expense are included in Bancorp's consolidated financial statements.
The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp's option on a
quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2022, subordinated notes added through the
CB acquisition totaled $26 million. Further, Bancorp had borrowing capacity of
$20 million available through an unsecured borrowing line of the holding company
as of September 30, 2022, which was added during the first quarter to allow
capital flexibility at the Bank level.



As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal
banking regulatory agencies, Bancorp elected the option to delay the estimated
impact on regulatory capital related to the adoption of ASC 326 "Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses," or CECL, which was effective January 1, 2020. The
initial impact of adoption of ASC 326, as well as 25% of the quarterly increases
in the ACL subsequent to adoption of ASC 326 (collectively the "transition
adjustments") were declared to be delayed for two years. After two years, the
cumulative amount of the transition adjustments will become fixed and will be
phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three-year
period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four and 25%
recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital
benefits will be fully reversed. Had Bancorp not elected to defer the regulatory
capital impact of CECL, the post ASC 326 adoption capital ratios of Bancorp and
the Bank would have exceeded the well-capitalized level.

The general decline between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 for the
ratios displayed in the table above is attributed mainly to unrealized losses
within the AFS debt securities portfolio stemming from the significant increase
in interest rates during the nine months of 2022, which drove a $120 million
decline in AOCI and as a result, a decline in stockholders equity. Further,
acquisition-related growth served to increase goodwill and total assets, which
also contributed to lower ratios.

The ACL for loans to total non-PPP loans represents the ACL for loans, divided
by total loans less PPP loans. Non-performing loans to total non-PPP loans
represents non-performing loans, divided by total loans less PPP loans.
Delinquent loans to total non-PPP loans represents delinquent loans (consisting
of all loans 30 days or more past due), divided by total loans less PPP loans.
Bancorp believes these non-GAAP disclosures are important because they provide
comparable ratios after eliminating PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the
SBA and have not been allocated for within the ACL and are not at risk of
non-performance.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, equals total non-interest expenses
divided by the sum of net interest income FTE and non-interest income. In
addition to the efficiency ratio presented, Bancorp considers an adjusted
efficiency ratio. Bancorp believes it is important because it provides a
comparable ratio after eliminating net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and
impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of
acquired premises and equipment, if applicable, and the fluctuation in
non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit
partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses.
