NOTE S TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the Corporation), its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the Bank or C&F Bank) and indirect subsidiaries that are wholly-owned or controlled. Subsidiaries that are less than wholly owned are fully consolidated if they are controlled by the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries, and the portion of any subsidiary not owned by the Corporation is reported as noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Corporation owns all of the common stock of C&F Financial Statutory Trust I, C&F Financial Statutory Trust II and Central Virginia Bankshares Statutory Trust I, all of which are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The subordinated debt owed to these trusts is reported as liabilities of the Corporation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to U.S. GAAP and to predominant practices within the banking industry.

Nature of Operations: The Corporation is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation owns all of the stock of its subsidiary, C&F Bank, which is an independent commercial bank chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

C&F Bank has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: C&F Mortgage Corporation (C&F Mortgage), C&F Finance Company (C&F Finance), C&F Wealth Management Corporation (C&F Wealth Management), C&F Insurance Services, Inc. and CVB Title Services, Inc., all incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. C&F Mortgage, organized in September 1995, originates and sells residential mortgages, provides mortgage loan origination services to third-party lenders and, through its subsidiary Certified Appraisals LLC, provides ancillary mortgage loan production services for residential appraisals. C&F Mortgage owns a 51 percent interest in C&F Select LLC, which was organized in January 2019 and is also engaged in the business of originating and selling residential mortgages. C&F Finance, acquired in September 2002, is a finance company purchasing automobile, marine and recreational vehicle (RV) loans through indirect lending programs. C&F Wealth Management, organized in April 1995, is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of wealth management services and insurance products through third-party service providers. C&F Insurance Services, Inc. and CVB Title Services, Inc. were organized for the primary purpose of owning equity interests in an independent insurance agency and a full service title and settlement agency, respectively. Business segment data is presented in Note 9.

Basis of Presentation: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, impairment of loans and evaluation of goodwill for impairment. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these financial statements, have been made.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. None of these reclassifications are considered material and did not affect net income or total equity.

Table of Contents

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Corporation recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments include (1) interest rate swaps that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges on the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes, (2) interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers and dealer counterparties and (3) interest rate contracts arising from mortgage banking activities, including interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) on mortgage loans and related forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities. The gain or loss on the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. IRLCs, forward sales contracts and interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore changes in the fair value of these instruments are reported as noninterest income. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments are described more fully in Note 11.

Share-Based Compensation: Share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $ 511,000 ($ 365,000 after tax) for restricted stock granted during 2017 through 2022. Share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $ 392,000 ($ 287,000 after tax) for restricted stock granted during 2016 through 2021. As of March 31, 2022, there was $ 3.95 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods.

A summary of activity for restricted stock awards during the first three months of 2022 and 2021 is presented below:

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” as part of its project on financial instruments. Subsequently, this ASU was amended when the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “ Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, ” ASU 2019-04, “ Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments ,” ASU 2019-05, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief ,” ASU 2019-10, “ Financial instruments—Credit losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)—Effective dates, ” ASU 2019-11, “ Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, ” ASU 2020-02, “ Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), ” ASU 2020-03, “ Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments ” and ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (collectively, ASC 326). ASC 326 introduces an approach based

Table of Contents

on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new standard will be effective for the Corporation beginning on January 1, 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted.

The amendments of ASC 326, upon adoption, will be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard being recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Corporation has established a working group to prepare for and implement changes related to ASC 326 and has gathered historical loan loss data for purposes of evaluating appropriate portfolio segmentation and modeling methods under the standard. The Corporation has performed procedures to validate the historical loan loss data to ensure its suitability and reliability for purposes of developing an estimate of expected credit losses under ASC 326. The Corporation has engaged a vendor to assist in modeling expected lifetime losses under ASC 326, and is continuing to develop and refine an approach to estimating the allowance for credit losses. The adoption of ASC 326 will result in significant changes to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which may include changes in the level of the allowance for credit losses that will be considered adequate, a reduction in total equity and regulatory capital of C&F Bank, differences in the timing of recognizing changes to the allowance for credit losses and expanded disclosures about the allowance for credit losses. The Corporation has not yet determined an estimate of the effect of these changes. The adoption of the standard will also result in significant changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting related to the allowance for credit losses.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This guidance provides temporary, optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for modifications of loan contracts, borrowings, hedging relationships and other transactions related to reference rate reform associated with the LIBOR transition if certain criteria are met. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, can be adopted at an instrument level. The Corporation expects to apply Topic 848 in the case of modifications to certain loans, borrowings and cash flow hedges during 2022, and that these modifications will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not currently expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were 390 debt securities totaling $ 350.29 million of aggregate fair value considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2022. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation’s investments in debt securities was increases in market interest rates. The Corporation concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment existed in its securities portfolio at March 31, 2022, and no other-than-temporary impairment loss has been recognized in net income, based primarily on the fact that changes in fair value were caused primarily by fluctuations in interest rates, there were no securities with unrealized losses that were significant relative to their carrying amounts, securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, the Corporation intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.

The Corporation’s investment in restricted stock totaled $ 1.12 million at March 31, 2022 and consisted of FHLB stock. Restricted stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment, which is carried at cost because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLBs. Therefore, when evaluating restricted stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing any temporary decline in value. The Corporation did not consider its investment in restricted stock to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2022 and no impairment has been recognized.

The table above includes nonaccrual loans that are current of $ 2.24 million and 90+ days past due of $ 680,000 .

There were no loan modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that were classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). There was one loan modification during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was classified as a TDR. This TDR was a residential mortgage with a recorded investment of $ 4,000 at the time of modification and included a modification of the loan’s payment structure.

All TDRs are considered impaired loans and are individually evaluated in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. A TDR payment default occurs when, within 12 months of the original TDR modification, either a full or partial charge-off occurs or a TDR becomes 90 days or more past due. The specific reserve associated with a TDR is reevaluated when a TDR payment default occurs. There were no TDR payment defaults during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Impaired loans, which included TDRs of $ 2.18 million, and the related allowance at March 31, 2022 were as follows:

Net income attributable to C&F Financial Corporation	$ 5,629	$ 7,061
Weighted average shares outstanding — basic and diluted	3,547,780	3,676,067

The Corporation has applied the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS for each period presented because the Corporation’s unvested restricted shares outstanding contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends equal to dividends on the Corporation’s common stock. Accordingly, the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS includes both vested and unvested shares outstanding.

NOTE 8: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

● Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt securities traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities.

● Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the respective asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include the use of pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

U.S. GAAP allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value (the fair value option) for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Corporation has elected to use fair value accounting for its entire portfolio of loans held for sale (LHFS).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Corporation in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Securities available for sale. The Corporation primarily values its investment portfolio using Level 2 fair value measurements, but may also use Level 1 or Level 3 measurements if required by the composition of the portfolio. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Corporation’s entire investment securities portfolio was comprised of

Table of Contents

securities available for sale, which were valued using Level 2 fair value measurements. The Corporation has contracted with third party portfolio accounting service vendors for valuation of its securities portfolio. The vendors’ sources for security valuation are ICE Data Services (ICE) and Thomson Reuters Pricing Service (TRPS). Each source provides opinions, known as evaluated prices, as to the value of individual securities based on model-based pricing techniques that are partially based on available market data, including prices for similar instruments in active markets and prices for identical assets in markets that are not active. ICE provides evaluated prices for the Corporation’s obligations of states and political subdivisions category of securities. ICE uses proprietary pricing models and pricing systems, mathematical tools and judgment to determine an evaluated price for a security based upon a hierarchy of market information regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics. TRPS provides evaluated prices for the Corporation’s U.S. government agencies and corporations, mortgage-backed, and corporate categories of securities. Fixed-rate callable securities of the U.S. government agencies and corporations category are individually evaluated on an option adjusted spread basis for callable issues or on a nominal spread basis incorporating the term structure of agency market spreads and the appropriate risk free benchmark curve for non-callable issues. Pass-through mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the mortgage-backed category are grouped into aggregate categories defined by issuer program, weighted average coupon, and weighted average maturity. Each aggregate is benchmarked to relative to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities (TBA securities) or other benchmark prices. TBA securities prices are obtained from market makers and live trading systems. Collateralized mortgage obligations in the mortgage-backed category are individually evaluated based upon a hierarchy of security specific information and market data regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics. Each evaluation is determined using an option adjusted spread and prepayment model based on volatility-driven, multi-dimensional spread tables. Fixed-rate securities issued by the Small Business Association in the mortgage backed category are individually evaluated based upon a hierarchy of security specific information and market data regarding that security or securities with similar characteristics.

Other investments. The Corporation holds equity investments in funds that provide debt and equity financing to small businesses. These investments are recorded at fair value and included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income. The funds are managed by investment companies, and the net asset value of each fund is reported regularly by the investment companies. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of these investments, based on net asset value, was $ 2.50 million and $ 1.47 million, respectively. These investments, measured at net asset value, are not presented in the tables below related to fair value measurements. Changes in fair value of these investments resulted in the recognition of unrealized gains of $ 24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and unrealized gains of $ 45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Loans held for sale. Fair value of the Corporation’s LHFS is based on observable market prices for similar instruments traded in the secondary mortgage loan markets in which the Corporation conducts business. The Corporation’s portfolio of LHFS is classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset - IRLCs. The Corporation recognizes IRLCs at fair value. Fair value of IRLCs is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis. All of the Corporation’s IRLCs are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – interest rate swaps on loans. The Corporation recognizes interest rate swaps at fair value. The Corporation has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for these interest rate swaps using standard valuation techniques. All of the Corporation’s interest rate swaps on loans are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – cash flow hedges. The Corporation recognizes cash flow hedges at fair value. The fair value of the Corporation’s cash flow hedges is determined using the discounted cash flow method. All of the Corporation’s cash flow hedges are classified as Level 2.

Derivative asset/liability – forward sales of TBA securities. The Corporation recognizes forward sales of TBA securities at fair value. The fair value of forward sales of TBA securities is based on prices obtained from market makers and live trading systems for TBA securities of similar issuer programs, coupons and maturities. All of the Corporation’s forward sales of TBA securities are classified as Level 2.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Corporation may be required, from time to time, to measure and recognize certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Corporation in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Impaired loans. The Corporation does not record loans held for investment at fair value on a recurring basis. However, there are instances when a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. The Corporation measures impairment either based on the fair value of the loan using the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, which is not a fair value measurement. The Corporation maintains a valuation allowance to the extent that this measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When an impaired loan is measured at fair value based solely on observable market prices or a current appraisal without further adjustment for unobservable inputs, the Corporation records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 2. However, if based on management’s review, additional discounts to observed market prices or appraisals are required or if observable inputs are not available, the Corporation records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

Impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest, are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Initial fair value is based upon appraisals the Corporation obtains from independent licensed appraisers. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations of the foreclosed assets based on updated appraisals, general market conditions, recent sales of similar properties, length of time the properties have been held, and our ability and intent with regard to continued ownership of the properties. The Corporation may incur additional write-downs of foreclosed assets to fair value less estimated costs to sell if valuations indicate a further deterioration in market conditions. As such, the Corporation records OREO as a nonrecurring fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 there were no impaired loans and no OREO that were measured at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation. The Corporation uses the exit price notion in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following tables reflect the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments whether or not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

The Corporation assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) in the normal course of operations. As a result, the fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Corporation. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to balance minimizing interest rate risk and increasing net interest income in current market conditions. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do

so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors interest rates, maturities and repricing dates of assets and liabilities and attempts to manage interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans, deposits and borrowings and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Corporation’s overall interest rate risk.

NOTE 9: Business Segments

The Corporation operates in a decentralized fashion in three business segments: community banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. The community banking segment comprises C&F Bank and C&F Wealth Management. Revenues from community banking operations consist primarily of net interest income related to investments in loans and securities and outstanding deposits and borrowings, fees earned on deposit accounts and debit card interchange activity, and net revenues from offering wealth management services and insurance products through third-party service providers. Mortgage banking operating revenues consist principally of gains on sales of loans in the secondary market, mortgage banking fee income related to loan originations, fees earned by providing mortgage loan origination functions to third-party lenders, and net interest income on mortgage loans held for sale. Revenues from consumer finance consist primarily of net interest income earned on purchased retail installment sales contracts.

The Corporation’s revenues and expenses are comprised primarily of interest expense associated with the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes and subordinated debt, general corporate expenses, and changes in the value of the rabbi trust and deferred compensation liability related to its nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The results of the Corporation, which includes funding and operating costs that are not allocated to the business segments, are included in the column labeled “Other” in the tables below.

The community banking segment extends two warehouse lines of credit to the mortgage banking segment, providing a portion of the funds needed to originate mortgage loans. The community banking segment charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance rate plus a spread ranging from 50 basis points to 175 basis points. The community banking segment also provides the consumer finance segment with a portion of the funds needed to purchase loan contracts by means of variable rate notes that carry interest at one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points, with a floor of 3.5 percent, and fixed rate notes that carry interest at rates ranging from 2.2 percent to 8.0 percent. The community banking segment acquires certain residential real estate loans from the mortgage banking segment at prices similar to those paid by third-party investors. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. In addition to unallocated expenses recorded by the holding company, certain overhead costs are incurred by the community banking segment and are not allocated to the mortgage banking and consumer finance segments.

NOTE 10: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, including loan commitments and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Collateral is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

Loan commitments are agreements to extend credit to a customer provided that there are no violations of the terms of the contract prior to funding. Commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of loan commitments at the Bank was $ 303.06 million at

Table of Contents

March 31, 2022 and $ 305.37 million at December 31, 2021, which does not include IRLCs at the mortgage banking segment, which are discussed in Note 11.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The total contract amount of standby letters of credit, whose contract amounts represent credit risk, was $ 14.37 million at March 31, 2022 and $ 15.11 million at December 31, 2021.

The mortgage banking segment sells substantially all of the residential mortgage loans it originates to third-party investors. As is customary in the industry, the agreements with these investors require the mortgage banking segment to extend representations and warranties with respect to program compliance, borrower misrepresentation, fraud, and early payment performance. Under the agreements, the investors are entitled to make loss claims and repurchase requests of the mortgage banking segment for loans that contain covered deficiencies. The mortgage banking segment has obtained early payment default recourse waivers for a significant portion of its business. Recourse periods for early payment default for the remaining investors vary from 90 days up to one year . Recourse periods for borrower misrepresentation or fraud, or underwriting error do not have a stated time limit. The mortgage banking segment maintains an allowance for indemnifications that represents management’s estimate of losses that are probable of arising under these recourse provisions. As performance data for loans that have been sold is not made available to the mortgage banking segment by the investors, the estimate of potential losses is inherently subjective and is based on historical indemnification payments and management’s assessment of current conditions that may contribute to indemnified losses on mortgage loans that have been sold in the secondary market. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Corporation recorded a reversal of provision for indemnifications of $ 583,000 and recorded a provision for indemnifications of $ 17,000 , respectively, which is included in “Noninterest Expenses – Other” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. No indemnification payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. The allowance for indemnifications was $ 2.67 million at March 31, 2022 and $ 3.25 million at December 31, 2021.

NOTE 11: Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments primarily to manage risks to the Corporation associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Corporation designates certain interest rate swaps as hedging instruments in qualifying cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these designated hedging instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income. Derivative contracts that are not designated in a qualifying hedging relationship include customer accommodation loan swaps and contracts related to mortgage banking activities.

Cash flow hedges . The Corporation designates interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows on variable rate borrowings such as the Corporation’s trust preferred capital notes. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments that manage the risk of variability in cash flows by exchanging variable-rate interest payments on a notional amount of the Corporation’s borrowings for fixed-rate interest payments. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the effect of changes in interest rates on the amount of variable-rate interest payments, and the Corporation assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship quarterly. If the Corporation determines that a cash flow hedge is no longer highly effective, future changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument would be reported in earnings. As of March 31, 2022, the Corporation has designated cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to variability in cash flows on certain variable rate borrowings for periods that end between June 2024 and June 2029.

All interest rate swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Corporation’s credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Corporation believes that the credit risk inherent in these derivative contracts is not significant.

Unrealized gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. When a designated hedging instrument is terminated and the hedged interest payments remain probable of occurring, any remaining unrecognized gain or loss in other comprehensive income is reclassified into earnings in the period(s) during which the forecasted interest

Table of Contents

payments affect earnings. Amounts reclassified into earnings and interest receivable or payable under designated interest rate swaps are reported in interest expense. The Corporation does not expect any unrealized losses related to cash flow hedges to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.

Loan swaps . The Bank also enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and offsetting terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These back-to-back loan swaps are derivative financial instruments and are reported at fair value in “other assets” and “other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of loan swaps are recorded in other noninterest income and sum to zero because of the offsetting terms of swaps with borrowers and swaps with dealer counterparties.

Mortgage banking . The mortgage banking segment enters into IRLCs with customers to originate loans for which the interest rates are determined (or “locked”) prior to funding. The mortgage banking segment is exposed to interest rate risk through fixed-rate IRLCs and mortgage loans from the time that interest rates are locked until the loans are sold in the secondary market. The mortgage banking segment mitigates this interest rate risk by either (1) entering into forward sales contracts with investors at the time that interest rates are locked for mortgage loans to be delivered on a best efforts basis or (2) entering into forward sales contracts for TBA securities until it can enter into forward sales contracts with investors for mortgage loans to be delivered on a mandatory basis. IRLCs, forward sales of loans and forward sales of TBA securities are derivative financial instruments and are reported at fair value in other assets and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives are recorded as a component of gains on sales of loans.

At March 31, 2022, the mortgage banking segment had $ 103.51 million of IRLCs and $ 45.36 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using best-efforts forward sales contracts for $ 148.87 million in mortgage loans.

At December 31, 2021, the mortgage banking segment had $ 80.59 million of IRLCs and $ 72.24 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using best-efforts forward sales contracts for $ 152.83 million in mortgage loans. Also at December 31, 2021, the mortgage banking segment had $ 2.82 million of IRLCs and $ 7.40 million of unpaid principal on mortgage loans held for sale for which it managed interest rate risk using forward sales of $ 9.25 million of TBA securities and mandatory-delivery forward sales contracts for $ 1.01 million in mortgage loans.

The following tables summarize key elements of the Corporation’s derivative instruments other than forward sales of mortgage loans. The fair values of forward sales of mortgage loans were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Corporation and the Bank are required to maintain cash collateral with dealer counterparties for interest rate swap relationships in a loss position. At March 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021, $ 1.44 million and $ 3.88 million, respectively, of cash collateral was maintained with dealer counterparties and was included in “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition to current and historical information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our future business, financial condition or results of operations. For a description of certain factors that may have a significant impact on our future business, financial condition or results of operations, see “Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this discussion and analysis.

OVERVIEW

Our primary financial goals are to maximize the Corporation’s earnings and to deploy capital in profitable growth initiatives that will enhance long-term shareholder value. We track three primary financial performance measures in order to assess the level of success in achieving these goals: (1) return on average assets (ROA), (2) return on average equity (ROE), and (3) growth in earnings. In addition to these financial performance measures, we track the performance of the Corporation’s three business segments: community banking, mortgage banking, and consumer finance. We also actively manage our capital through growth, dividends and share repurchases, while considering the need to maintain a strong capital position.

The following table presents selected financial performance highlights for the periods indicated:

Consolidated net income for the Corporation was $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, or $1.59 per share, compared with $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, or $1.92 per share. The Corporation’s annualized ROE and ROA were 10.99 percent and 1.01 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 15.16 percent and 1.36 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

The Corporation uses adjusted net income, which is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, to provide additional meaningful information about operating performance by excluding the effects of certain items that management does not expect to have an ongoing impact on consolidated net income. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2022 excludes the effects of branch consolidation activity. There were no such adjustments for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding the effects of this item, adjusted net income was $5.7 million, or 1.57 per share for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $7.2 million, or $1.92 per share for the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted ROE and adjusted return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE), which excludes the effect of intangible assets, on an annualized basis were 10.87 percent and 12.47 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 15.16 percent and 17.74 percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted ROA, on an annualized basis was 1.00 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 1.36 percent for the first quarter of 2021. Refer to “Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below, for a reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted ROE, adjusted ROA, and adjusted ROTCE, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Consolidated net income decreased $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Adjusted net income decreased $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decreases in net income and adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 were due primarily to lower net income of the mortgage banking segment, resulting from broad declines in mortgage origination volume across the industry, and the consumer finance segment, partially offset by higher net income of the community banking segment.

A discussion of the performance of our business segments is included under the heading “Business Segments” in the “Results of Operations” section of this discussion and analysis.

Key highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are as follows. Comparisons are to the three months ended March 31, 2021 unless otherwise stated.

● Average loans outstanding at the community banking segment, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, increased 6.3 percent;

● Average deposits increased 8.1 percent;

● Average loans outstanding at the consumer finance segment increased 21.3 percent;

● The Corporation recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $328,000 for first quarter of 2022 on a consolidated basis, due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans at the community banking segment and other reserve releases, partially offset by provision related to loan growth at the consumer finance and community banking segments. The Corporation recorded provision for loan losses of $280,000 for the first quarter of 2021;

● The community banking segment recognized net PPP origination fees of $437,000 in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $864,000 in the first quarter of 2021;

● Consolidated annualized net interest margin was 3.93 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 4.33 percent and 4.09 percent for the first quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively. The decrease in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was due primarily to an increase in lower yielding cash and investments resulting from a decrease in loans held for sale, as well as lower accretion of net PPP origination fees;

● The consumer finance segment experienced net charge-offs at an annualized rate of 0.04 percent of average total loans for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of 0.14 percent for the year ended December 31, 2021. Delinquencies remain lower than pre-pandemic levels and a strong used car market has mitigated losses on defaulted loans;

● The consumer finance segment’s average loan yield declined as a result of pursuing growth in higher quality, lower yielding loans; and

● Mortgage banking segment loan originations decreased 55.1 percent for the first quarter of 2022 amid declines in mortgage industry volume and rising interest rates.

Capital Management and Dividends

Total equity was $201.3 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $211.0 million at December 31, 2021. Under regulatory capital standards, the Corporation’s tier 1 capital and total capital ratios at March 31, 2022 were 13.1 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively, compared to 13.0 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, the book value per share of the Corporation’s common stock was $56.57, and tangible book value per share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $48.93, compared to $59.32 and $51.66, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

Total consolidated equity decreased $9.7 million at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to unrealized losses in the market value of securities available for sale of $14.7 million (net of tax), which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income, partially offset by net income. The Corporation’s securities available for sale are fixed income debt securities, and their decline in market value during the first quarter of 2022 was a result of increases in market interest rates. The Corporation expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest, and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Corporation or the Bank.

For the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation’s 40 cents per share cash dividend equated to a payout ratio of 25.2 percent of earnings per share. The Board of Directors of the Corporation continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital levels and requirements and expected future earnings. In making its decision on the payment of dividends on the Corporation’s common stock, the Corporation’s Board of Directors considers operating results, financial condition, capital adequacy, regulatory requirements, shareholder returns, and other factors.

The Corporation has a share repurchase program that was authorized by the Board of Directors in November 2021 to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through November 30, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation repurchased 9,717 shares, or $493,000, of its common stock under the Corporation’s share repurchase program.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Those accounting policies with the greatest uncertainty and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments affecting the application of these policies, and the greatest likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are described below.

Allowance for Loan Losses: We establish the allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs for relevant periods of time, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In evaluating the level of the allowance, we consider a range of possible assumptions and outcomes related to the various factors identified above. Under alternative assumptions that we considered in developing our estimate of an allowance that will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2022, our estimate of the allowance varied between $36 million and $41 million.

Impairment of Loans: We consider a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. We do not consider a loan impaired during a period of delay in payment if we expect the ultimate collection of all amounts due. We measure impairment on a loan-by-loan basis based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance

Table of Contents

homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. All troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are also considered impaired loans and are evaluated individually. A TDR occurs when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. For more information see the section titled “Asset Quality” within this Item 2.

Loans Acquired in a Business Combination: Acquired loans are classified as either (i) purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans or (ii) purchased performing loans and are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.

PCI loans are those for which there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Corporation will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. When determining fair value, PCI loans are aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics as of the date of acquisition such as loan type, date of origination, and evidence of credit quality deterioration such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the “nonaccretable difference.” Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans. Estimates of cash flows for PCI loans require significant judgment. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows may result in a reversal of post-acquisition provision for loan losses or a transfer from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield that increases interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool(s) of loans. Disposals of loans, which may include sale of loans to third parties, receipt of payments in full or in part from the borrower or foreclosure of the collateral, result in removal of the loan from the PCI loan portfolio at its carrying amount.

PCI loans are not classified as nonperforming by the Corporation at the time they are acquired, regardless of whether they had been classified as nonperforming by the previous holder of such loans, and they will not be classified as nonperforming so long as, at quarterly re-estimation periods, we believe we will fully collect the new carrying value of the pools of loans.

The Corporation accounts for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses may be required for any deterioration in these loans in future periods.

Goodwill: The Corporation's goodwill was recognized in connection with past business combinations and is reported at the community banking segment and the consumer finance segment. The Corporation reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Corporation may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no further testing is required and the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the Corporation elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. In the last evaluation of goodwill at the community banking segment and the consumer finance segment, which was the annual evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Corporation concluded that no impairment existed based on an assessment of qualitative factors.

Income Taxes: Determining the Corporation’s effective tax rate requires judgment. The Corporation’s net deferred tax asset is determined annually based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. In addition, there may be transactions and

Table of Contents

calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain and the Corporation’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that estimates related to income taxes are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

For further information concerning accounting policies, refer to Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

The following table shows the average balance sheets, the amounts of interest earned on earning assets, with related yields, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, with related rates, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Loans include loans held for sale. Loans placed on a nonaccrual status are included in the balances and are included in the computation of yields, but had no material effect. Accretion and amortization of fair value purchase adjustments related to business combinations are included in the computation of yields on loans and investments and on the costs of deposits and borrowings. The accretion contributed approximately 14 basis points and 10 basis points to the yields on community banking segment loans and total loans, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, and 7 basis points to both the yield on total earning assets and net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022, compared to approximately 26 basis points and 18 basis points to the yields on community banking segment loans and total loans, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021, and 14 basis points to both the yield on total earning assets and net interest margin, for the first quarter of 2021. The yield on loans includes, with respect to PPP loans, interest at a note rate of one percent as well as net deferred origination fees that are amortized based on the contractual maturity of the related loan or accelerated into interest income upon repayment of the loan. Accretion of net PPP origination fees contributed approximately 17 basis points and 12 basis points to the yields on community banking segment loans and total loans, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, and 8 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022, compared to approximately 34 basis points and 23 basis points to the yields on community banking segment loans and total loans, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021, and 18 basis points to both the yield on interest earning assets and net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021. Interest on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis (which converts the income on loans and investments for which no income taxes are paid to the equivalent yield as if income taxes were paid) using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21 percent that was applicable for all periods presented.

Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first quarter of 2022 was $20.6 million, compared to $20.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was due primarily to a decrease in net interest margin, partially offset by higher average balances of earning assets. Annualized net interest margin decreased 40 basis points to 3.93 percent for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to (1) growth in lower yielding securities and cash reserves resulting from a decrease in average balances of loans held for sale and (2) lower average yields on loans and securities, including the effect of lower recognition of net PPP origination fees in interest income, partially offset by lower average cost of deposits. The yield on interest-earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 57 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Average earning assets increased $177.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Average loans, which includes both loans held for investment and loans held for sale, decreased $70.1 million to $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Average loans at the community banking segment decreased $22.5 million, or 2.1 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, average loans at the community banking segment increased $60.1 million, or 6.3 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in average loans at the community banking segment excluding PPP loans for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 resulted primarily from growth in the commercial real estate and real estate construction segments of the loan portfolio. Average loans at the consumer finance segment increased $66.9 million, or 21.3 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher average balances of automobile loans and marine and RV loans. Average loans at the mortgage banking segment, which consist primarily of loans held for sale, decreased $114.5 million, or 65.6 percent, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to lower mortgage loan production volume.

The overall yield on average loans decreased 9 basis points to 5.68 percent for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to lower average yields within the consumer finance segment and community banking segment, partially offset by the effect of growth in average balances of higher yielding consumer finance loans and a decrease in the average balances of lower yielding mortgage loans held for sale and PPP loans. The community banking segment average loan yield decreased 30 basis points to 4.14 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 primarily as a result of lower recognition of net PPP origination fees and lower interest income on PCI

loans. PPP loans earn interest at a note rate of one percent as well as net origination fees that are amortized over the contractual term of the related loan or accelerated into interest income upon repayment of the loan. Net PPP origination fees recognized in the first quarter of 2022 were $437,000, compared to net PPP origination fees recognized in the first quarter of 2021 of $864,000. Deferred net PPP origination fees that remained unrecognized at March 31, 2022 were $242,000, which are expected to be recognized in 2022. The recognition of interest income on PCI loans, which were acquired in connection with past mergers and acquisitions, is based on management’s expectation of future payments of principal and interest, which are inherently uncertain. Earlier than expected repayments of certain PCI loans resulted in the recognition of additional interest income during the first quarters of 2022 and 2021. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $363,000 and $517,000 for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The consumer finance segment average loan yield decreased 175 basis points to 10.19 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the consumer finance segment continuing to pursue loan contracts of higher credit quality and lower average yields, including prime marine and RV loans. The mortgage banking segment average loan yield increased 68 basis points to 3.30 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due to higher mortgage interest rates.

Average securities available for sale increased $118.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to higher purchases of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agency debt securities with short maturities, in order to utilize excess liquidity by investing in debt securities rather than holding lower-yielding cash reserves. The average yield on the securities portfolio on a taxable-equivalent basis decreased 16 basis points to 1.70 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due to a shift in the composition of the securities portfolio toward shorter duration mortgage-backed and U.S. government agency securities.

Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, consisting primarily of excess cash reserves maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank, increased $129.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to excess liquidity resulting from deposit growth and decreases in loans held for sale exceeding growth in securities and loans at the consumer finance and community banking segments. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased 2 basis points for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The Federal Reserve Bank increased the interest rate on excess cash reserve balances from 0.10 percent at December 31, 2020 to 0.15 percent by the end of 2021 and to 0.40 by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

Average money market, savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $122.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, and average time deposits decreased $48.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to growth in consumer and business money market deposits and a shift to non-time deposits during a period of lower interest rates. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $70.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 20 basis points for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to lower rates on time deposits, including maturities of time deposits that were opened when rates were higher, and a shift in composition toward non-time deposits.

Average borrowings increased $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to increases in balances of repurchase agreements with commercial deposit customers. The average cost of borrowings decreased 87 basis points for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to the termination of a revolving bank line of credit during the fourth quarter of 2021 and growth in repurchase agreements, which have a lower cost than long-term borrowings.

The Corporation believes that rising interest rates will have an immediate positive effect on yields of cash reserves, variable rate loans and new loan originations at the community banking segment as well as mortgage loans held for sale, and that this effect will result in an increase in net interest margin, as higher yields on cash and loans will outweigh any impact on the cost of deposits in the near term. The extent to which rising interest rates affects net interest margin will depend on a number of factors, including (1) the Corporation’s ability to continue to grow loans at the community banking segment and consumer finance segment, and competition for loans, (2) the continued availability of funding through low-cost deposits, (3) average yields on consumer finance loans, which may decline as a result of the higher credit quality of loan contracts purchased by the consumer finance segment, (4) possible lower accretion of purchase discounts on loans related to acquisitions, which is included in yields on loans, and (5) further declines in mortgage loan production and therefore lower average loans held for sale at the mortgage banking segment. The Corporation can give no assurance as to the

ultimate impact of rising interest rates or as to when or for how long the Corporation may experience an increase in net interest margin.

Total noninterest income decreased $7.3 million, or 52.2 percent, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to (1) lower volume of mortgage loan production and mortgage lender services, (2) lower margins on sales of mortgage loans and (3) unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2022 compared to unrealized gains in the first quarter of 2021 related to the Corporation’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan, included in other (loss) income, net, partially offset by higher income from service charges on deposit accounts and debit card interchange activity.

The Corporation recognized unrealized losses related to its nonqualified deferred compensation plan of $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to unrealized gains of $506,000 for the same period in 2021. Unrealized gains and losses in the Corporation’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan are offset by changes in deferred compensation, recorded in salaries and employee benefits expense.

Total noninterest expenses decreased $4.8 million, or 19.2 percent, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to (1) lower expenses tied to mortgage loan production volume reported in salaries and employee benefits, mortgage banking loan processing expenses and data processing, (2) a decrease in salaries and employee benefits related to deferred compensation and (3) a reversal of provision for indemnifications in the first quarter of 2022.

Table of Contents

Changes in deferred compensation liabilities decreased salaries and employee benefits expense by $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, and increased salaries and employee benefits expense by $506,000 in the first quarter of 2021, and were offset in both periods by unrealized gains and losses recorded in noninterest income.

Income Taxes

The Corporation’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 21.7 percent and 24.2 percent for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Corporation’s consolidated effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was lower compared to the same period in 2021 primarily as a result of a lower share of income at the mortgage banking segment, which is subject to state income taxes.

Business Segments

The Corporation operates in a decentralized manner in three business segments: community banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. An overview of the financial results for each of the Corporation’s business segments is presented below.

Community Banking: The community banking segment comprises C&F Bank and C&F Wealth Management. The following table presents the community banking segment operating results for the periods indicated.

Net income	$	3,517	$	2,793

The community banking segment reported net income of $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2021. Community banking segment net income increased $724,000 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due primarily to a reversal of provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2022 and lower average cost of deposits, partially offset by lower interest income from loans.

Net interest income for the community banking segment increased by $413,000 to $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was due primarily to (1) lower average cost of time deposits, (2) higher average balances of securities, loans (excluding PPP loans) and cash and (3) a shift in deposit balances from time deposits toward lower-cost savings, money market and demand deposits, partially offset by (1) lower recognition of net PPP origination fees and (2) lower interest income on PCI loans. Net PPP origination fees recognized in the first quarter of 2022 were $437,000, compared to $864,000 for the same period in 2021. Deferred net PPP origination fees that remained unrecognized at March 31, 2022 were $242,000, which are expected to be recognized in 2022. Interest income recognized on PCI loans was $363,000 for the first quarter of 2022 and $517,000 for the first quarter of 2021.

The community banking segment recorded a net reversal of provision for loan losses of $700,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to no provision for loan losses recorded for the first quarter of 2021. The reversal of provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2022 was due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans, which resulted in no losses being realized, and the reduction of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves, partially offset by provision related to loan growth. Noninterest income increased for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 as a result of higher service charges on deposit accounts and higher debit card interchange income. Noninterest expenses increased during the same period, driven primarily by salaries and employee benefits.

Branch consolidation activity resulted in gains recognized in the first quarter of 2022 of $80,000 ($63,000 after income taxes) recorded in other noninterest income.

The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $866,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in net income of the mortgage banking segment for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was due primarily to (1) lower volume of mortgage loan originations and mortgage lender services and (2) lower margins on sales of mortgage loans, partially offset by a reversal of provision for indemnification losses, which is included in other expenses, in the first quarter of 2022.

The following table presents mortgage loan originations and mortgage loans sold for the periods indicated.

Mortgage loan originations for the mortgage banking segment decreased 55.1 percent for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Following the elevated volume levels in the mortgage industry during 2020 and 2021 that accompanied historically low mortgage interest rates and a highly active residential real estate market, the first quarter of

Table of Contents

2022 represents a return to levels of mortgage banking segment volume (of both refinancings and home purchases), revenues and net income that are somewhat normalized and still compare favorably to periods prior to 2020.

Gains on sales of loans, while driven in part by mortgage loan originations, also includes the effects of changes in locked loan commitments, which reflect the volume of mortgage loan applications that are in process and have not closed. Locked loan commitments increased by $20.1 million during the first quarter of 2022 and decreased by $6.2 million during the first quarter of 2021. Locked loan commitments were $103.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $83.4 million at December 31, 2021 and $192.5 million at March 31, 2021. Mortgage lender services fee income is derived from providing mortgage origination functions to third-party mortgage lenders for a fee. Mortgage lender services volume decreased for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 as a result of lower mortgage industry volume.

During the first quarter of 2022, the mortgage banking segment recorded a reversal of provisions for indemnification losses of $583,000, compared to provision for indemnification losses of $17,000 in the first quarter of 2021. The release of indemnification reserves in the first quarter of 2022 was due primarily to improvement in the mortgage banking segment’s assessment of borrower payment performance and other factors affecting expected losses on mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. The mortgage banking segment increased reserves for indemnification losses during 2020 based on widespread forbearance on mortgage loans and economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the mortgage banking segment has not made any payments for indemnification losses since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and management believes that the indemnification reserve is sufficient to absorb losses related to loans that have been sold in the secondary market.

The consumer finance segment reported net income of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.5 million for the same period of 2021. The decrease in consumer finance segment net income was due primarily to lower average yields on automobile loans and higher provision for loan losses, partially offset by loan growth. Net interest income declined as a result of a decrease in the net interest margin of the consumer finance segment, partially offset by higher average balances of loans outstanding. Net interest margin decreased due to lower average yields on loans and higher average balances of borrowings from C&F Bank to fund loan growth. Average yields on loans decreased for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as a result of the consumer finance segment’s pursuing growth in

higher quality, lower yielding loans. Average loans outstanding increased $66.9 million, or 21.3%, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Provision for loan losses increased as a result of significant loan growth in 2022, partially offset by a release of reserves related to continued improvement in loan performance. The consumer finance segment has experienced loan performance since 2020 that has been stronger than periods prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in part from the consumer finance segment continuing to purchase higher quality loans, and in part from government stimulus measures in response to the pandemic that benefitted borrowers. Additionally, a strong used car market has continued to mitigate the losses realized upon repossession and sale of automobiles. If loan performance deteriorates resulting in elevated delinquencies or net charge-offs, or if values of used vehicles decline, provision for loan losses may increase in future periods.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduce the allowance. The following table presents the Corporation’s loan loss experience for the periods indicated:

2 Includes the Corporation’s commercial real estate lending, land acquisition and development lending, builder line lending and commercial business lending.

Loans by credit quality indicators are presented in Table 12 below. The characteristics of these loan ratings are as follows:

● Pass rated loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio. The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue. When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan.

● Special mention loans have a specific identified weakness in the borrower’s operations and in the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history may be characterized by late payments. The Corporation’s risk exposure is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan. The collateral is considered to be well-margined, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.

● Substandard loans are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of the Corporation’s credit extension. The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan. The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantor(s) to pay the loan may not adequately protect the Corporation. There is a distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet the Corporation’s definition of impaired unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provide evidence that it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due.

● Substandard nonaccrual loans have the same characteristics as substandard loans; however, they have a nonaccrual classification because it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due.

● Doubtful rated loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan that is classified substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently

Table of Contents

existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high.

● Loss rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

Nonperforming assets of the community banking segment totaled $118,000 at March 31, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets consisted of $118,000 in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022 and consisted of $2.4 million in nonaccrual loans and $835,000 in OREO at December 31, 2021. The decrease in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the resolution of certain impaired loans during the first quarter of 2022.

At March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses at the community banking segment decreased to $14.1 million, compared to $14.8 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at the community banking segment, excluding PCI loans, at March 31, 2022 decreased to 1.36 percent, compared to 1.44 percent at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans excluding all purchased loans and loans originated under the PPP decreased to 1.45 percent at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.55 percent at December 31, 2021, due primarily to the resolution of certain impaired loans, which resulted in no losses being realized, and a reduction of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as losses have so far not been realized to the extent initially expected.

Nonaccrual loans at the consumer finance segment were $318,000 at March 31, 2022, compared to $380,000 at December 31, 2021. Nonaccrual consumer finance loans remain low relative to the allowance for loan losses and the total consumer finance loan portfolio because the consumer finance segment generally initiates repossession of loan collateral once a loan becomes more than 60 days delinquent and due to improvement in loan performance. Repossessed vehicles of the consumer finance segment are classified as other assets and consist only of vehicles the Corporation has the legal right to sell. Prior to the reclassification from loans to repossessed vehicles, the difference between the carrying amount of each loan and the fair value of each vehicle (i.e. the deficiency) is charged against the allowance for loan losses. At March 31, 2022, repossessed vehicles available for sale totaled $165,000, compared to $190,000 at December 31, 2021.

The consumer finance segment’s allowance for loan losses increased $308,000 to $25.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $24.8 million at December 31, 2021. The consumer finance segment experienced annualized net charge-offs for the first

Table of Contents

quarter of 2022 of 0.04 percent of average total loans, compared to net charge-offs of 0.51 percent for the first quarter of 2021. The decline in the net charge-off ratio for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 reflects a lower number of charge-offs during 2022 and lower losses per loan charged off as a result of a strong used car market. The consumer finance segment has experienced loan performance since 2020 that has been stronger than periods prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in part from the consumer finance segment continuing to purchase higher quality loans, and in part from government stimulus measures in response to the pandemic that benefitted borrowers. At March 31, 2022, total delinquent loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.71 percent, compared to 2.16 percent at December 31, 2021 and 1.56 percent at March 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased to 6.33 percent at March 31, 2022 from 6.73 percent at December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of improving credit quality of the portfolio, which has resulted in lower net charge-offs, and a reduction of certain qualitative adjustments to reserves related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as losses have so far not been realized to the extent initially expected.

The consumer finance segment at times offers payment deferrals to borrowers as a portfolio management technique to achieve higher ultimate cash collections on select loan accounts. Average amounts of payment deferrals on a monthly basis, which are not included in delinquent loans, were 1.50 percent and 1.16 percent as a percentage of average non-prime automobile loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Impaired Loans

We measure impaired loans either based on fair value of the loan using the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. We maintain a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. TDRs occur when we agree to significantly modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. These concessions typically are made for loss mitigation purposes and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. TDRs are considered impaired loans.

The decrease in the recorded investment in impaired loans and the related allowance at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 is due primarily to the resolution of certain loans in the first quarter of 2022, which resulted in no losses being realized.

TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

1 Included in nonaccrual loans in Table 14: Nonperforming Assets.

2 Included in impaired loans in Table 14: Nonperforming Assets and Table 15: Impaired Loans.

While TDRs are considered impaired loans, not all TDRs are on nonaccrual status. If a loan was on nonaccrual status at the time of the TDR modification, the loan will remain on nonaccrual status following the modification and may be returned to accrual status based on the Corporation’s policy for returning loans to accrual status. If a loan was accruing prior to being modified as a TDR and if management concludes that the borrower is able to make such modified payments, and there are no other factors or circumstances that would cause management to conclude otherwise, the TDR will remain on an accruing status.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 2022, the Corporation had total assets of $2.3 billion, which was an increase of $37.3 million since December 31, 2021. The increase was attributable primarily to increases in available for sale securities and loans held for investment, partially offset by a decrease in loans held for sale, and was funded by growth in money market and demand deposits. The significant components of the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are discussed below.

2 Includes the Corporation’s commercial real estate lending, land acquisition and development lending, builder line lending and commercial business lending (which includes loans originated under the PPP of $7.1 million and $17.8 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively). Other commercial, financial and agricultural loans were $712.0 million and $699.9 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The increase in total loans from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 was due primarily to growth in automobile loans at the consumer finance segment and commercial business lending and acquisition and development lending at the community banking segment, partially offset by repayment of PPP loans.

Beginning in April 2020, the community banking segment originated loans under the PPP which are guaranteed by the SBA, and in some cases borrowers may be eligible to obtain forgiveness of the loans, in which case loans would be repaid by the SBA. Net PPP origination fees recognized in the first quarter of 2022 were $437,000, compared to $864,000 in the same period in 2021. Since the second quarter of 2020, the community banking segment has recognized $6.1 million of net fees under the PPP, and deferred net PPP origination fees that remained unrecognized at March 31, 2022 were $242,000, which are expected to be recognized in 2022. As repayment of PPP loans is guaranteed by the SBA, the community banking segment does not recognize a reserve for PPP loans in its allowance for loan losses. Table 19 presents the outstanding principal of loans originated under the PPP as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Securities

The investment portfolio plays a primary role in the management of the Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and is used as needed to meet collateral requirements. The investment portfolio consists of securities available for sale, which may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all securities in the Corporation’s investment portfolio were classified as available for sale.

Table 20 sets forth the composition of the Corporation’s securities available for sale in dollar amounts at fair value and as a percentage of the Corporation’s total securities available for sale at the dates indicated.

TABLE 20: Securities Available for Sale

Total available for sale securities at fair value	$	415,532	100	%	$	373,073	100	%

Securities available for sale increased by $42.4 million to $415.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $373.1 million at December 31, 2021, due primarily to purchases of U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities with short maturities, in order to utilize excess liquidity by investing in debt securities rather than holding lower-yielding cash reserves.

For more information about the Corporation's securities available for sale, including information about securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, see Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” under the heading “Note 2: Securities” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Deposits

The Corporation’s predominant source of funds is depository accounts, which are comprised of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts and time deposits. The Corporation’s deposits are principally provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served.

During the first quarter of 2022, deposits increased $55.0 million to $1.97 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.91 billion at December 31, 2021. Demand and savings deposits increased $80.0 million and time deposits decreased $25.0 million during the same period. This increase in demand and savings deposits was due in part to opening new deposit accounts and higher balances in existing deposit accounts.

The Corporation had $5,000 in brokered money market and time deposits outstanding at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The source of these brokered deposits is primarily uninvested cash balances held in third-party

Table of Contents

brokerage sweep accounts. The Corporation uses brokered deposits as a means of diversifying liquidity sources, as opposed to a long-term deposit gathering strategy.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased to $88.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $90.5 million at December 31, 2021 due primarily to fluctuations in balances with commercial deposit customers with repurchase agreements.

Liquidity

The objective of the Corporation’s liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to satisfy the credit needs of our customers and the demands of our depositors, creditors and investors. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position are the components of a solid foundation for the Corporation’s liquidity position. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Corporation include cash flows from operations, loan payments and payoffs, deposit growth, maturities, calls and sales of securities, the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit and the capacity to borrow additional funds.

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at other banks and nonpledged securities available for sale, totaled $507.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $454.6 million at December 31, 2021. The Corporation’s funding sources, including capacity, amount outstanding and amount available at March 31, 2022 are presented in Table 21.

TABLE 21: Funding Sources


	March 31, 2022
(Dollars in thousands)	Capacity	Outstanding	Available
Unsecured federal funds agreements	$ 95,000	$ —	$ 95,000
Repurchase lines of credit	35,000	—	35,000
Borrowings from FHLB	218,041	—	218,041
Borrowings from Federal Reserve Bank	106,744	—	106,744
Total	$ 454,785	$ —	$ 454,785

We have no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity. Additional loans and securities are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) above the current lendable collateral value. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions nationally and in our markets. Depending on our liquidity levels, our capital position, conditions in the capital markets, our business operations and initiatives, and other factors, we may from time to time consider the issuance of debt, equity or other securities or other possible capital market transactions, the proceeds of which could provide additional liquidity for our operations.

As a result of the Corporation’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Corporation maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its operational requirements and contractual obligations.

Capital Resources

The disclosure below presents the Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios under currently applicable regulatory capital standards. Under the small bank holding company policy statement of the Federal Reserve Board, which applies to certain bank holding companies with consolidated total assets of less than $3 billion, the Corporation is not subject to regulatory capital requirements. The table below reflects the Corporation’s consolidated capital as determined under regulations that apply to bank holding companies that are not small bank holding companies and minimum capital requirements that would apply to the Corporation if it were not a small bank holding company. Although the minimum regulatory capital requirements are not applicable to the Corporation, the Corporation calculates these ratios for its own planning and monitoring purposes.

The regulatory risk-based capital amounts presented above include: (1) common equity tier 1 capital (CET1) which consists principally of common stock (including surplus) and retained earnings with adjustments for goodwill and intangible assets; (2) Tier 1 capital which consists principally of CET1 plus the Corporation’s “grandfathered” trust preferred securities; and (3) Tier 2 capital which consists principally of Tier 1 capital plus a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses and $24.0 million of outstanding subordinated notes of the Corporation. The Total Capital ratio, Tier 1 Capital ratio and CET1 ratio are calculated as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. The Tier 1 Leverage ratio is calculated as a percentage of average tangible assets. In addition, the Corporation has made the one-time irrevocable election to

continue treating accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) under regulatory standards that were in place prior to the Basel III Final Rule in order to eliminate volatility of regulatory capital that can result from fluctuations in AOCI and the inclusion of AOCI in regulatory capital, as would otherwise be required under the Basel III Capital Rule. As a result of this election, changes in AOCI, including unrealized losses on securities available for sale, do not affect regulatory capital amounts shown in the table above for the Corporation or the Bank. For additional information about the Basel III Final Rules, see “Item 1. Business” under the heading “Regulation and Supervision” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 17: Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions” in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Basel III rules established a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5 percent above the regulatory minimum risk-based capital ratios, which is not included in the table above. Including the capital conservation buffer, the minimum ratios are a common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 7.0 percent, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 8.5 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5 percent. The Corporation and the Bank exceeded these ratios at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Corporation’s Board of Directors authorized a program, effective December 1, 2021, to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through November 30, 2022 (the 2021 Repurchase Program). The Corporation's capital resources may be affected by the 2021 Repurchase Program. Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, the Corporation is authorized to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock. Repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Program may be made through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shares repurchased will be returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of common stock. The timing, number and purchase price of shares repurchased under the 2021 Repurchase Program will be determined by management in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the shares, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other conditions, and there is no assurance that the Corporation will purchase any shares under the 2021 Repurchase Program. The 2021 Repurchase Program is authorized through November 30, 2022, and, as of March 31, 2022, there was $9.5 million remaining available for repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock under the 2021 Repurchase Program.

USE OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to GAAP in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of the Corporation’s performance. These include adjusted net income for the Corporation and for the community banking segment, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted ROE, adjusted return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), adjusted ROA, tangible book value per share, and the following fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) measures: interest income on loans-FTE, interest income on securities-FTE, total interest income-FTE and net interest income-FTE. Interest on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis (which converts the income on loans and investments for which no income taxes are paid to the equivalent yield as if income taxes were paid) using the federal corporate income tax rate of 21 percent that was applicable for all periods presented.

Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other financial periods, other financial institutions, and between different sources of interest income. The non-GAAP measures used by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of (1) items that do not reflect ongoing operating performance, (2) balances of intangible assets, including goodwill, that vary significantly between institutions, and (3) tax benefits that are not consistent across different opportunities for investment. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP-basis financial statements, and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these or similar measures differently. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation to evaluate and measure the Corporation’s performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk made in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Corporation or its subsidiary to disclose material information required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic reports.

There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Corporation’s Board of Directors authorized a program, effective December 1, 2021, to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Corporation’s common stock through November 30, 2022 (the 2021 Repurchase Program). Repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Program may be made through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and shares repurchased will be returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of common stock.
