Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section reviews our financial condition for each of the past two years and results of operations for each of the past three years. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to place them on a basis comparable with the current period presentation. Some tables may include additional time periods to illustrate trends within our consolidated financial statements. The results of operations reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods.
Important Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains or incorporates statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset levels, asset quality, financial position and other matters regarding or affecting S&T and its future business and operations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “assume,” “strategy,” “trend,” “plan,” “outlook,” “outcome,” “continue,” “remain,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “comfortable,” “current,” “position,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve,” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could or may. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and trends to differ materially from those made, projected, or implied in or by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of uncertainties or other factors including, but not limited to: credit losses and the credit risk of our commercial and consumer loan products; changes in the level of charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, or ACL; cyber-security concerns; rapid technological developments and changes; operational risks or risk management failures by us or critical third parties, including fraud risk; our ability to manage our reputational risks; sensitivity to the interest rate environment including a prolonged period of low interest rates, a rapid increase in interest rates or a change in the shape of the yield curve; a change in spreads on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; the transition from LIBOR as a reference rate; regulatory supervision and oversight, including changes in regulatory capital requirements and our ability to address those requirements; unanticipated changes in our liquidity position; unanticipated changes in regulatory and governmental policies impacting interest rates and financial markets; changes in accounting policies, practices or guidance; legislation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and S&T, in particular; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; increasing price and product/service competition; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; managing our internal growth and acquisitions; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from acquisitions cannot be fully realized in a timely manner or at all, or that integrating the acquired operations will be more difficult, disruptive or costly than anticipated; containing costs and expenses; reliance on significant customer relationships; an interruption or cessation of an important service by a third-party provider; our ability to attract and retain talented executives and employees; general economic or business conditions, including the strength of regional economic conditions in our market area; environmental, social and governance practices and disclosures, including climate change, hiring practices, the diversity of the work force, and racial and social justice issues; the duration and severity of the coronavirus, or COVID-19 pandemic, both in our principal area of operations and nationally, including the ultimate impact of the pandemic on the economy generally and on our operations; our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program; deterioration of the housing market and reduced demand for mortgages; deterioration in the overall macroeconomic conditions or the state of the banking industry that could warrant further analysis of the carrying value of goodwill and could result in an adjustment to its carrying value resulting in a non-cash charge to net income; the stability of our core deposit base and access to contingency funding; re-emergence of turbulence in significant portions of the global financial and real estate markets that could impact our performance, both directly, by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities, and indirectly, by affecting the economy generally and access to capital in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support our future businesses.
Many of these factors, as well as other factors, are described elsewhere in this report, including Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and any of our subsequent filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution you not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as to the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies are based to a greater extent on estimates, assumptions and judgments of management and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.
Our most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined.
We view critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex estimates, assumptions and judgments and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Further, we view critical accounting estimates as those estimates made in accordance with
GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We currently view the determination of the ACL and goodwill and other intangible assets to be critical accounting policies. We did not significantly change the manner in which we applied our critical accounting policies or developed related assumptions or estimates during 2022. We have reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee.
Allowance for Credit Losses
In January 2020, we adopted ASC 326, which replaced the former incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of an asset. The ACL is a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against operating income. It is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of a loan, that considers historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Management’s evaluation process used to determine the appropriateness of the ACL is complex and requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments which are inherently subject to high uncertainty. The evaluation process combines several factors: historical loan loss experience, managements ongoing review of lending policies and practices, experience and depth of staff, quality of the loan grading system, the fair value of underlying collateral, concentration of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions and forecasts, segment specific risks and other quantitative and qualitative factors which could affect future credit losses. Our reasonable and supportable forecast is based primarily on the national unemployment forecast produced by the Federal Reserve and is for a period of two years. For periods beyond our two-year forecast, we revert to historical loss rates utilizing a straight-line method over a one-year reversion period. Because current economic conditions and forecasts can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated credit losses on loans and the appropriateness of the ACL could change significantly. It is challenging to estimate how potential changes in any one economic factor or input might affect the overall allowance because a wide variety of factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
In conjunction with our capital stress testing process, we consider different economic scenarios that impact the ACL. Among other balance sheet and income statement changes, our severely adverse scenario would have resulted in an increase to the ACL of approximately 90 percent. This severely adverse scenario shows how sensitive the ACL can be to key qualitative and quantitative assumptions underlying the overall ACL calculation. To the extent actual losses are higher than management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required and could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of acquisitions, we have recorded goodwill and identifiable intangible assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired.
The acquisition method of accounting requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded at their fair values. This often involves estimates based on third-party valuations or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques which are inherently subjective. Business combinations also typically result in goodwill which is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair values of the reporting units to which the acquired goodwill relates.

S&T BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The carrying value of goodwill is tested annually for impairment each October 1st or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. We test for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized if the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by using both a discounted cash flow model and market based models. The discounted cash flow model has many assumptions including future earnings projections, a long-term growth rate and discount rate. The market based method calculates the fair value based on observed price multiples for similar companies. The fair values of each method are then weighted based on the relevance and reliability in the current economic environment.
We last completed a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2020 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. A discount rate of 11.50 percent was used for the income approach. If the discount rate was increased 2 percent to 13.50 percent, our fair value would have still exceeded carrying value resulting in no goodwill impairment. Based upon our qualitative assessment performed for our annual impairment analysis as of October 1, 2022, we concluded that goodwill is not impaired.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in Part II, Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report, discusses new accounting pronouncements that we have adopted and the expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued or proposed, but not yet required to be adopted.
Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to traditional measures presented in accordance with GAAP, our management uses, and this report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures identified below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and our business and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies.
The interest income on interest-earning assets, net interest income and net interest margin are presented on an FTE basis (non-GAAP). The FTE basis (non-GAAP) adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and securities and the dividend-received deduction for equity securities using the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent for each period. We believe this to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income that provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable sources of interest income.

Earnings Summary
Years ended December 31,
Earnings per share - diluted $ 3.46 $ 2.81 $ 0.53
Return on average shareholders' equity 11.47 % 9.30 % 1.80 %
We earned record net income of $135.5 million, an increase of $25.2 million or 22.8 percent, compared to net income of $110.3 million in 2021. Earnings per diluted share increased 23.1 percent to $3.46 in 2022 compared to $2.81 in 2021.The increase in net income was primarily due to higher net interest income related to rising interest rates and a lower provision for credit losses related to improving economic conditions. Net income in 2020 was impacted by a pre-tax loss of $58.7 million related to a customer fraud resulting from a check kiting scheme. The fraud was perpetrated by a single business customer and the customer has plead guilty in a criminal investigation. We continue to pursue all available sources of recovery to mitigate the loss. Return on average assets increased 30 basis points to 1.48 percent for 2022 compared to 1.18 percent for 2021. Return on average shareholders' equity increased 217 basis points to 11.47 percent for 2022 compared to 9.30 percent for 2021.
Net interest income increased $39.7 million, or 14.4 percent, to $315.8 million compared to $276.1 million in 2021. Interest and dividend income increased $51.5 million and interest expense increased $11.8 million compared to 2021. The net

interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) increased 54 basis points to 3.76 percent compared to 3.22 percent in 2021. The increases in net interest income and NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) were primarily due to higher interest rates during 2022. NIM is reconciled to net interest margin adjusted to an FTE basis (non-GAAP) above in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
The provision for credit losses decreased $7.8 million to $8.4 million for 2022 compared to $16.2 million for 2021. The decrease in the provision for credit losses during 2022 was mainly due to a reduction in net charge-offs in 2022. Net loan charge-offs were $2.6 million, or 0.04 percent of average loans, in 2022 compared to $34.5 million, or 0.49 percent of average loans, in 2021.
Noninterest income decreased $6.4 million to $58.3 million compared to $64.7 million in 2021. Mortgage banking decreased $7.5 million due to a decline in loan sale activity caused by rising interest rates and a shift to holding originated mortgage loans. Other noninterest income decreased $1.8 million primarily related to a $3.1 million decline in the fair value of assets in a nonqualified benefit plan partially offset by a net gain on the sale of OREO. Service charges on deposit accounts and debit and credit card fees increased $2.8 million due to increased customer activity.
Noninterest expense increased $7.8 million to $196.7 million compared to $188.9 million in 2021. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.0 million primarily due to base rate increases and higher incentives. Professional and legal increased $2.0 million due to increased consulting engagements compared to 2021. Marketing increased $1.0 million due to increased marketing efforts. Other noninterest expense increased $1.8 million in 2022 primarily due to a lease impairment and increased travel and entertainment expenses. These higher expenses were offset by decreases in FDIC insurance of $1.4 million in 2022 compared to 2021. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) for 2022 improved to 52.34 percent compared to 55.06 percent for 2021. A reconciliation of the efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) is provided above in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
The provision for income taxes increased $8.1 million to $33.4 million in 2022 compared to $25.3 million in 2021. The increase in our income tax provision was primarily due to a $33.3 million increase in pretax income in 2022 compared to 2021. The effective tax rate increased 1.1 percent to 19.8 percent in 2022 compared to 18.7 percent in 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to significantly higher income before taxes in 2022 compared to 2021.
Net Interest Income
Our principal source of revenue is net interest income. Net interest income represents the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in interest rates and spreads. The level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities is managed by our Asset and Liability Committee, or ALCO, in order to mitigate interest rate and liquidity risks of the balance sheet. A variety of ALCO strategies were implemented, within prescribed ALCO risk parameters, to produce what we believe is an acceptable level of net interest income.
As part of our interest rate risk management strategy, we use interest rate swaps to add stability to net interest income by managing our exposure to interest rate movements. During 2022, we entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $500.0 million with original maturities ranging from three to five years. Our strategy is to reduce our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to interest payments on commercial loans that are currently indexed to the 1-month LIBOR rate. Interest rates have increased substantially in 2022 resulting in a loss on the cash flow hedges of $16.8 million which is reported in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), or OCI, net of applicable taxes.

Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) increased $39.4 million, or 14.2 percent, compared to 2021. The net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) increased 54 basis points to 3.76 percent compared to 3.22 percent in 2021. The increases in net interest income and NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) were primarily due to higher interest rates during 2022. NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was also positively impacted by lower average cash balances. Average interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $343.7 million compared to 2021.
Interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) increased $51.2 million compared to 2021. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates partially offset by lower Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, income. Average PPP loans decreased $301.7 million compared to 2021. Average loan balances, excluding PPP loans, increased $254.5 million compared to 2021. The average yield on loans increased 66 basis points compared to 2021 due to higher interest rates. Average securities increased $185.2 million compared to 2021 due to interest-bearing deposits with banks being redeployed to higher yielding assets. Average interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $343.7 million compared to 2021 due to decreased deposit balances and increased securities. Overall, the FTE rate (non-GAAP) on interest-earning assets increased 69 basis points compared to 2021.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest expense increased $11.8 million compared to 2021. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $350.1 million compared to 2021 due to the competitive market driven by rising interest rates. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 20 basis points due to increased interest rates. Average demand deposits increased $111.1 million compared to 2021; however, overall deposit balances were down year-over-year. Average borrowings decreased $11.6 million compared to 2021 primarily due to the discontinuation of the customer repurchase agreement product and the payoff of a subordinated debt. Short-term borrowings increased $33.7 million and the average rate paid increased 396 basis points. Overall, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 25 basis points compared to 2021.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses includes a provision for losses on loans and on unfunded loan commitments. The provision for credit losses fluctuates based on changes in loan balances, risk ratings, net loan charge-offs and our CECL assumptions. The provision for credit losses decreased $7.8 million to $8.4 million for 2022 compared to $16.2 million for 2021. The provision for credit losses included $3.0 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments for 2022 compared to $0.7 million for 2021.
The decrease in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to significantly lower net charge-offs in 2022 compared to 2021. Net loan charge-offs were $2.6 million in 2022 compared to $34.5 million in 2021. Contributing to the decrease in the provision for credit losses was a $1.7 million reduction in specific reserves on loans individually assessed due to the resolution of a C&I relationship through a note sale which resulted in a $5.5 million charge-off during the second quarter of 2022. Offsetting the decrease in provision for credit losses during 2022 was a $2.3 million increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments primarily due to an increase in loss rates and unused commitments in the construction portfolio.

Years Ended December 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change
Noninterest income decreased $6.4 million to $58.3 million compared to $64.7 million in 2021. Mortgage banking decreased $7.5 million due to a decline in loan sale activity caused by rising interest rates and a shift to holding originated mortgage loans. Other noninterest income decreased $1.8 million primarily related to a $3.1 million decline in the fair value of assets in a nonqualified benefit plan, which has a corresponding offset in salaries and benefits resulting in no impact to net income, partially offset by a net gain on the sale of OREO. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.8 million and debit and credit card fees increased $1.1 million due to increased customer activity.

Noninterest expense increased $7.8 million to $196.7 million compared to $188.9 million in 2021. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.0 million during 2022 primarily due to base rate increases and higher incentives offset by a change in the fair value of assets in a nonqualified benefit plan. Professional services and legal increased $2.0 million due to higher consulting expense compared to 2021. Marketing expense increased $1.0 million due to increased marketing efforts and timing of various promotions. Other noninterest expense increased $1.8 million primarily due to a lease impairment and increased travel and entertainment expenses. FDIC insurance expense decreased $1.4 million due to a lower assessment base and improvements in the components used to determine the assessment.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased to $33.4 million in 2022 compared to $25.3 million for 2021. The increase in our income tax provision was primarily due to a $33.3 million increase in income before taxes in 2022 compared to 2021.
The effective tax rate, which is total tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes, increased to 19.8 percent in 2022 compared to 18.7 percent in 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to significantly higher income before taxes in 2022 compared to 2021. We have generated an annual effective tax rate that is less than the statutory rate of 21 percent due to benefits resulting from tax-exempt interest, excludable dividend income, tax-exempt income on Bank Owned Life Insurance, or BOLI, and tax benefits associated with Low Income Housing Tax Credits, or LIHTC.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES Act was signed into law. It contained substantial tax and spending provisions intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act included the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, a $349 billion program designed to aid small and medium sized businesses through federally guaranteed loans distributed through banks. The PPP and Health Care Enhancement Act, or PPP/HCEA, was signed into law on April 24, 2020. The PPP/HCEA authorized an additional $310 billion of funding under the CARES Act for PPP loans among other provisions. On July 4, 2020, legislation was passed to extend the application period for the PPP through August 8, 2020.These loans are intended to cover eight weeks of payroll and other permitted expenses to help those businesses remain viable. The PPP ended on May 31, 2021.
We originated $771.5 million of PPP loans during 2020 and 2021. PPP loans are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted expenses in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00 percent and a term of two years, or five years for loans approved by the SBA, on or after June 5, 2020. Payments are deferred for at least six months of the loan. The loans are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA.
We increased our ACL in 2021 to be responsive to the additional risk related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We did experience improvement in our asset quality during 2021, but remain cautious given the current environment. The hotel portfolio improved in the second half of 2021 with $34.0 million of loans being returned to performing status due to improved operating performance. Our balance sheet is asset sensitive resulting in our net interest income and net interest margin, or NIM, being negatively impacted in this low interest rate environment. Loan demand was challenging in the first half of 2021, but we saw growth trends improving late in the second quarter and for the third and fourth quarter of 2021. Net interest income was favorably impacted by PPP loans which contributed to net interest income $17.3 million for 2021 and $11.4 million for 2020.

Net income increased $89.3 million to $110.3 million, or $2.81 per diluted share, in 2021 compared to $21.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share in 2020. This net increase was primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses related to improving economic conditions, as well the offsetting impact of the 2020 customer fraud that reduced net income by $46.3 million, or $1.19 per share. We experienced a pre-tax loss of $58.7 million related to a customer fraud resulting from a check kiting scheme during 2020. The fraud was perpetrated by a single business customer and the customer has plead guilty in a criminal investigation. We continue to pursue all available sources of recovery to mitigate the loss.
Return on average assets, or ROA, was 1.18 percent and return on average equity, or ROE, was 9.30 percent for 2021 compared to ROA of 0.23 percent and ROE of 1.80 percent for 2020.
Net interest income decreased $3.3 million to $276.1 million compared to 2020. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower average loan balances and the low rate interest environment compared to 2020. Average loan balances decreased $325.8 million compared to 2020. Net interest income was favorably impacted by PPP loans which contributed $17.3 million compared to $11.4 million in 2020. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $126.2 million compared to 2020. The net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased 16 basis points compared to 2020. The decrease is primarily due to higher average cash balances and the low interest rate environment. PPP loans positively impacted the NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) by 8 basis points compared to the negative impact of 3 basis points in 2020. NIM is reconciled to net interest income adjusted to an FTE basis (non-GAAP) above in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
The provision for credit losses was $16.2 million for 2021 compared to $131.4 million in 2020. Excluding a customer fraud loss of $58.7 million, the provision for credit losses was $72.7 million for 2020. The significant decrease in the provision for credit losses during 2021 was mainly due to the customer fraud in 2020 and an improved outlook for the economy and our loan portfolio. Net loan charge-offs were $34.5 million, or 0.49 percent of average loans, in 2021 compared to $103.4 million, or 1.40 percent of average loans, during 2020. Excluding the customer fraud, net loan charge-offs were $44.7 million, or 0.61 percent of average loans in 2020.
Noninterest income increased $4.9 million to $64.6 million compared to $59.7 million in 2020. Wealth management income increased $2.9 million due to customer growth and improved market conditions. Debit and credit card fees increased $2.9 million and service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.4 million due to increased customer activity. These were offset by lower commercial loan swap income of $3.6 million and mortgage banking income of $1.2 million.
Noninterest expense increased $2.2 million to $188.8 million compared to $186.6 million in 2020. Salaries and employee benefits increased $10.1 million primarily due to higher incentives. Data processing and information technology increased $1.2 million due to new products and services in 2021. These higher expenses were offset by decreases in other noninterest expense of $4.1 million, merger related expenses of $2.3 million and marketing of $1.4 million. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) for 2021 was 55.05 percent compared to 53.86 percent for 2020.
The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus net interest income, on an FTE basis, which ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. A reconciliation of the efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) is provided above in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
The provision for income taxes increased to $25.3 million in 2021 compared to nearly zero for 2020. The increase in our income tax provision was primarily due to a $114.6 million increase in pretax income in 2021 compared to 2020 when pretax income was impacted by significantly higher provision for credit losses. The effective tax rate increased to 18.7 percent in 2021 compared to a nominal negative annual effective tax rate in 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to significantly higher income before taxes in 2021 compared to 2020.

Net Interest Income
The interest income on interest-earning assets and the net interest margin are presented on an FTE basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and securities and the dividend-received deduction for equity securities using the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent and the dividend-received deduction for equity securities. We believe this to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income that provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable sources of interest income.
Interest and dividend income per the Consolidated Statements of Net Income is reconciled to interest income, net interest income and net interest margin on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) above in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.

Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased $4.2 million compared to 2020. The decline was primarily due to lower average loan balances compared to 2020. Net interest income was favorably impacted by PPP loans which contributed $17.3 million compared to $11.4 million in 2020. The net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased 16 basis points compared to 2020. The decrease is primarily due to higher average cash balances and the low interest rate environment. PPP loans positively impacted the net interest margin on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) by 8 basis points compared to the negative impact of 3 basis points in 2020.
Interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased $32.1 million compared to 2020. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower average loan balances compared to 2020 and the continued low interest rate environment. Average loan balances decreased $325.8 million compared to 2020. Average PPP loans decreased $53.7 million compared to 2020. The average rate earned on loans decreased 25 basis points primarily due to lower short-term interest rates. Average interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $542.2 million compared to 2020 due to PPP loan forgiveness, lower loan balances and a significant increase in average deposits as a result of customer PPP loans and stimulus payments along with customers' liquidity preferences. Overall, the FTE rate on interest-earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 50 basis points compared to 2020.

Interest expense decreased $27.9 million compared to 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower short-term interest rates. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $126.2 million compared to 2020. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 46 basis points compared to 2020 primarily due to lower short-term interest rates. The interest-bearing deposit decreases are favorably offset by a $521.8 million increase in demand deposits. We experienced demand deposit growth due to customer PPP loans and stimulus payments along with customers' liquidity preferences. Brokered deposits decreased $216.0 million and borrowings decreased $164.6 million compared to 2020 due to maturities and a reduced need for wholesale funding. Overall, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 48 basis points compared to 2020.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses, which includes a provision for losses on loans and on unfunded loan commitments, is a charge to earnings to maintain the ACL at a level consistent with management's assessment of expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The provision for credit losses decreased $115.2 million to $16.2 million for 2021 compared to $131.4 million for 2020. Excluding the customer fraud loss of $58.7 million, the provision for credit losses was $72.7 million for 2020.
The significant decrease in the provision for credit losses during 2021 was mainly due to the customer fraud in 2020 and an improved outlook for the economy and our loan portfolio. Our total qualitative reserve decreased $7.3 million compared to 2020. The decrease was primarily due to improved economic conditions offset by additional segment allocations for our healthcare and C&I portfolios along with the increased uncertainty at year-end related to the COVID-19 Omicron variant. Specific reserves on loans individually assessed decreased $11.7 million to $1.8 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $13.5 million in 2020. The decrease in specific reserves was the result of approximately $7.8 million of loan charge-offs and the release of $5.7 million of specific reserves due to improved operating performance within our hotel portfolio. Offsetting this decrease in specific reserve was the addition of a $1.8 million specific reserve related to a $21.7 million C&I relationship that also had a $10.3 million charge-off in 2021 based on an estimated enterprise value of the company.
Net loan charge-offs were $34.5 million, or 0.49 percent of average loans, in 2021 compared to $103.4 million, or 1.40 percent of average loans, during 2020. Excluding the customer fraud, net loan charge-offs were $44.7 million, or 0.61 percent of average loans in 2020. The decrease in net loan charge-offs in 2021 was primarily due to improving economic conditions.

Noninterest income increased $4.9 million, or 8.2 percent, in 2021 compared to 2020. Wealth management fees increased $2.9 million compared to the prior year. Brokerage fees increased $1.6 million primarily due to the addition of six new financial advisors added during 2021. Trust income increased $1.3 million mainly due to new customer growth resulting in higher assets under management and improved market conditions. Debit and credit card fees increased $2.9 million due to increased debit and credit card usage. Other noninterest income increased $2.6 million due to a $1.4 million change in the credit valuation adjustment for our commercial loan swaps for risk associated with our hotel loan portfolio, a $0.8 million change in the equity securities portfolio and a $0.5 million change in the valuation of a deferred compensation plan, which has a corresponding offset in salaries and benefit expense resulting in no impact to net income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.4 million due to the improving economic environment which drove higher customer activity. Commercial loan swap income decreased $3.6 million due to the lower customer activity related to the pandemic and interest rate environment. Mortgage banking decreased $1.2 million due to changes in the valuation of the mortgage interest rate locks offset by an improved mortgage servicing rights valuation compared to 2020.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $10.1 million during 2021 primarily due to higher incentive, restricted stock, commissions and pension expense due to an increase in retirees electing lump-sum distributions. Data processing and information technology increased $1.2 million due to new products and services in 2021. Offsetting these increases, other noninterest expense decreased $4.1 million due to lower loan related expenses and lower amortization of both our qualified affordable housing projects and core deposit intangible assets. Marketing expense decreased $1.4 million due to the pandemic and a reduction in promotions. FDIC insurance decreased $0.9 million due to the improvement of the financial ratios used to determine the assessment.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased to $25.3 million in 2021 compared to nearly zero for 2020. The increase in our income tax provision was primarily due to a $114.6 million increase in income before taxes in 2021 compared to 2020 when income before taxes was impacted by a customer fraud of $58.7 million.
The effective tax rate, which is total tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes, increased to 18.7 percent in 2021 compared to a nominal negative annual effective tax rate in 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to significantly higher income before taxes in 2021 compared to 2020. Historically, we have generated an annual effective tax rate that is less than the statutory rate of 21 percent due to benefits resulting from tax-exempt interest, excludable dividend income, tax-exempt income on Bank Owned Life Insurance, or BOLI, and tax benefits associated with Low Income Housing Tax Credits, or LIHTC.
Financial Condition
December 31, 2022
Total assets decreased $378.0 million to $9.1 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $9.5 billion at December 31, 2021. Cash and due from banks decreased $712.2 million to $210.0 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $922.2 million at December 31, 2021 primarily related to decreases in deposits due to competition driven by rising interest rates. Total portfolio loans increased $184.0 million, or 2.6 percent, to $7.2 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $7.0 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in portfolio loans is primarily related to an increase in the consumer loan portfolio of $344.0 million due to $327.1 million of growth in consumer real estate. The consumer loan portfolio increase was offset by decreases in commercial loans. Commercial loans decreased $160.1 million with decreases of commercial real estate loans of $108.5 million, C&I loans of $10.0 million, which included a decrease of $84.3 million of loans from the PPP, and a decrease of $41.6 million in commercial construction compared to December 31, 2021. Excluding the PPP loans, portfolio loans increased $268.3 million compared to December 31, 2021 due a modest increase in activity.
Securities increased $92.0 million to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2022 from $910.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in securities was primarily due to interest-bearing deposits with banks being redeployed to higher yielding assets earlier in 2022. The bond portfolio had an unrealized loss of $102.3 million at December 31, 2022 compared to an unrealized gain of $9.4 million at December 31, 2021 due to higher interest rates.
Our deposits decreased $776.6 million, with total deposits of $7.2 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $8.0 billion at December 31, 2021. Customer deposits decreased $771.6 million from December 31, 2021. The decrease in customer deposits was driven by competition related to rising interest rates. Customer noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $159.9 million, interest-bearing demand decreased $132.5 million, money market deposits decreased $339.1 million and certificates of deposits decreased $148.5 million offset by an increase in savings of $8.4 million.
Total borrowings increased $277.9 million to $439.2 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $161.3 million at December 31, 2021 due to a decrease in funding provided by customer deposits. The increase in borrowings consisted of increases in short-term borrowings of $370.0 million offset by decreases in long term borrowings of $7.7 million and a decrease of $84.5 million due to the discontinuation of securities sold under repurchase agreements.
Total shareholders’ equity decreased $21.8 million to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to other comprehensive losses of $105.0 million and dividends paid of $47.0 million offset by net income of $135.5 million. Other comprehensive losses were mainly due to unrealized losses of $87.9 million, net of tax, on our available-for-sale debt securities and $16.8 million, net of tax, on interest rate swaps due to the rising interest rate environment.

Securities Activity
The balances and average rates of our securities portfolio are presented below as of December 31:
(1)Weighted-average yields are calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent for 2022, 2021 and 2020.
We invest in various securities in order to maintain a source of liquidity, to satisfy various pledging requirements, to increase net interest income, and as a tool of ALCO to reposition the balance sheet for interest rate risk purposes. Securities are subject to market risks that could negatively affect the level of liquidity available to us. Security purchases are subject to an investment policy approved annually by our Board of Directors and administered through ALCO and our treasury function. Securities increased $92.0 million to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2022 from $910.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in securities is primarily due to increased investing activities due to excess liquidity earlier in 2022. These increases were partially offset by unrealized losses due to a rising interest rate environment.
At December 31, 2022 our bond portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $102.3 million compared to a net unrealized gain position of $9.4 million at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022, total gross unrealized gains in the bond portfolio were $0.3 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $102.6 million compared to December 31, 2021, when total gross unrealized gains were $15.2 million offset by gross unrealized losses of $5.8 million. The decrease in the net unrealized gain position was primarily due to an increase in interest rates from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. Management evaluates the securities portfolio to determine if an ACL is needed each quarter. We did not record an ACL related to the securities portfolio at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Management evaluates the bond portfolio for impairment on a quarterly basis. The unrealized losses on debt securities were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and not related to the credit quality of these securities. All debt securities were determined to be investment grade and paying principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the security at December 31, 2022. We do not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of their amortized cost. We did not recognize any impairment charges on our securities portfolio in 2022, 2021 or 2020. The performance of the debt securities markets could generate impairments in future periods requiring realized losses to be reported.

Lending Activity
The following table summarizes our loan portfolio as of December 31:
Commercial
Consumer
The loan portfolio represents the most significant source of interest income for us. The risk that borrowers will be unable to pay such obligations is inherent in the loan portfolio. Other conditions such as downturns in the borrower’s industry or the overall economic climate can significantly impact the borrower’s ability to pay.
We maintain a General Lending Policy to control the quality of our loan portfolio. The policy delegates the authority to extend loans under specific guidelines and underwriting standards. The General Lending Policy is formulated by management and reviewed and ratified annually by the Board of Directors.
We attempt to limit our exposure to credit risk by diversifying our loan portfolio by segment, geography, collateral and industry and actively managing concentrations. When concentrations exist in certain segments, we assess the credit risk within those segments to determine if additional reserve is needed in the qualitative portion of the ACL. Total commercial loans

represented 73.0 percent of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2022 compared to 77.2 percent at December 31, 2021. Within our commercial portfolio, the CRE and commercial construction portfolios combined comprised $3.5 billion, or 67.2 percent, of total commercial loans and 49.1 percent of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2022 compared to $3.7 billion, or 68.0 percent, of total commercial loans and 52.5 percent of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2021.
We lend primarily in Pennsylvania and the contiguous states of Ohio, New York, West Virginia and Maryland. The majority of our commercial and consumer loans are made to businesses and individuals in these states resulting in a geographic concentration. We believe our knowledge of these markets outweighs the geographic concentration risk. Our operating knowledge at the local and regional level is derived from our front-line connection to the customer and our understanding of their businesses. We also have a portfolio management group that utilizes multiple data sources including customer information, publicly available data and subscription service data to assess risk on an on-going basis and strong overall risk management practices which help us understand and evaluate concentration risk. Our CRE and commercial construction portfolios have exposure outside this geography of 5.8 percent of the combined portfolios and 2.9 percent of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2022. This compares to 5.7 percent of the combined portfolios and 3.0 percent of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2021.
Total portfolio loans increased $184.0 million, or 2.6 percent, to $7.2 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $7.0 billion at December 31, 2021. Commercial and industrial loans, or C&I, included $4.0 million of loans originated under the PPP at December 31, 2022 compared to $88.3 million at December 31, 2021. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act included the PPP, a program designed to aid small and medium sized businesses through federally guaranteed loans distributed through banks.
As of December 31, 2022, 72 percent of our total loans were variable rate loans and 28 percent were fixed rate loans. Commercial loans, including CRE, C&I and commercial construction, comprised 73.0 percent of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2022 and 77.2 percent at December 31, 2021. The decrease of $160.1 million in commercial loans related to a decrease of $108.5 million in CRE, $41.6 million in commercial construction loans and $10.0 million in C&I, which included a decrease of $84.3 million of loans from the PPP compared to December 31, 2021. Excluding the PPP loans, portfolio loans increased $268.3 million compared to December 31, 2021. Our loan demand was influenced by the downturn of the macroeconomic environment during 2022, but we did see loan growth in the second half of 2022.
Consumer loans represent 27.0 percent of our total portfolio loans at December 31, 2022 and 22.8 percent at December 31, 2021. Consumer loans increased $344.0 million compared to December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase of $216.6 million in the residential real estate portfolio, $87.8 million in the home equity portfolio and $39.6 million in installment and other consumer loans. Portfolio consumer real estate loans increased in 2022 due to a shift from mortgage loans sold to loans held in the portfolio due to increased jumbo loans and the pricing of loans in the secondary market compared to December 31, 2021. The consumer loan portfolio increase was offset by decreases in commercial loans.
Residential mortgage lending continues to be a focus for us. The loan to value, or LTV, policy guideline is 80 percent for residential first lien mortgages. Higher LTV loans may be approved within unique program guidelines and the appropriate private mortgage insurance coverage. We originate traditional fixed rate mortgage loans and adjustable rate or balloon mortgages with a maximum amortization term of 30 years. We may originate home equity loans with a lien position that is second to unrelated third-party lenders, but normally only to the extent that the combined LTV considering both the first and second liens does not exceed 100 percent of the fair value of the property. Combo mortgage loans consisting of a residential first mortgage and a home equity second mortgage are also available.
We originate and sell loans into the secondary market, primarily to Fannie Mae. We sell these loans in order to mitigate interest-rate risk associated with holding lower rate, long-term residential mortgages in the loan portfolio and to generate fee revenue from sales and servicing of the loans. We sold $28.6 million of 1-4 family mortgages in 2022 and $288.3 million in 2021 to Fannie Mae. The volume of loans sold to Fannie Mae decreased due to a shift from mortgage loans sold to loans held in the portfolio due to increased jumbo loans and the pricing of loans in the secondary market compared to December 31, 2021. Our servicing portfolio of mortgage loans that we had originated and sold into the secondary market was $772.9 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $841.7 million at December 31, 2021. We also offer a variety of unsecured and secured consumer loan products.

The following table presents the maturity of commercial and consumer loans outstanding as of December 31, 2022:
Maturity
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we offer off-balance sheet credit arrangements to enable our customers to meet their financing objectives. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. Our exposure to credit loss, in the event the customer does not satisfy the terms of the agreement, equals the contractual amount of the obligation less the value of any collateral. We apply the same credit policies in making commitments and standby letters of credit that are used for the underwriting of loans to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, annual renewals or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The following table sets forth our commitments and letters of credit as of the dates presented:
December 31,
See Note 18 Commitments and Contingencies in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Report for details on allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments.
Credit Quality
On a quarterly basis, a criticized asset meeting is held to monitor all special mention and substandard loans greater than $1.5 million and all business banking special mention and substandard loans greater than $0.5 million to establish action plans for these loans. These loans typically represent the highest risk of loss to us. We monitor these loans through regular contact with the borrower, review of current financial information and other documentation, review of all loan or potential loan restructures or modifications and the regular re-evaluation of assets held as collateral.
Additional credit risk management practices include periodic review, at least annually, and updates of our lending policies and procedures to support sound underwriting practices and portfolio management through portfolio stress testing. We have a portfolio monitoring process in place that includes an annual review of all commercial relationships greater than $1.5 million. Business banking relationships less than $1.5 million are monitored through portfolio management software that identifies credit risk indicators. Our Credit Risk Review process serves to independently monitor credit quality and assess the effectiveness of credit risk management practices to provide oversight of all corporate lending activities. The Credit Risk Review function has the primary responsibility for assessing commercial credit administration and credit decision functions of consumer and mortgage underwriting, as well as providing input to the loan risk rating process.

Nonaccrual loans as a percent of total loans 0.27 % 0.95 %
Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans plus OREO 0.31 % 1.13 %
Our policy is to place loans in all categories in nonaccrual status when collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or generally when interest or principal payments are 90 days or more past due.
Nonperforming assets decreased $57.5 million, or 72.2 percent, resulting in a nonperforming assets to total loans plus OREO ratio of 0.31% at December 31, 2022 compared to 1.13% at December 31, 2021. Nonaccrual loans decreased $47.2 million, or 71.3 percent, to $19.1 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $66.3 million at December 31, 2021. The significant decrease in nonaccrual loans during 2022 primarily related to minimal inflow of new nonaccrual loans and the payoff of two C&I relationships totaling $14.1 million, two CRE relationships totaling $9.2 million and the return to performing status of hotel loans totaling $9.1 million. The significant decrease in OREO related to the sale of two properties during 2022.
TDRs decreased $19.9 million to $11.8 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $31.7 million at December 31, 2021. Total TDRs of $11.8 million at December 31, 2022 included $8.9 million, or 75.4 percent, that were accrual and $2.9 million, or 24.6 percent, that were nonaccrual. This is a decrease from December 31, 2021 when we had $31.7 million in TDRs, including $9.9 million, or 31.2 percent, that were accrual and $21.8 million, or 68.8 percent, that were nonaccrual. The decrease in nonaccrual TDRs during 2022 primarily related to the payoff of two C&I relationships totaling $14.1 million.
Loan modifications resulting in new TDRs during 2022 included 27 modifications for $2.2 million compared to 40 modifications for $17.6 million in 2021. Included in the 2022 new TDRs were 23 loans totaling $1.4 million related to consumer bankruptcy filings that were not reaffirmed, thus resulting in discharged debt, which compares to 25 loans totaling $1.1 million in 2021.

Closed-end installment loans, amortizing loans secured by real estate and any other loans with payments scheduled monthly are reported past due when the borrower is in arrears two or more monthly payments. Other multi-payment obligations with payments scheduled other than monthly are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more. We monitor delinquency on a monthly basis, including early-stage delinquencies of 30 to 89 days past due for early identification of potential problem loans. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased $47.2 million compared to December 31, 2021 and represented 0.27 percent of total loans at December 31, 2022. The change in loans past due 90 days or more is explained above in nonperforming assets discussion under Credit Quality. Loans past due by 30 to 89 days increased $14.6 million and represented 0.28 percent of total loans at December 31, 2022.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an ACL at a level determined to be adequate to absorb estimated expected credit losses within the loan portfolio over the contractual life of a loan that considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions as of the balance sheet date. We develop and document a systematic ACL methodology based on the following portfolio segments: 1) CRE, 2) C&I, 3) Commercial Construction, 4) Business Banking, 5) Consumer Real Estate and 6) Other Consumer.
Our charge-off policy for commercial loans requires that loans and other obligations that are not collectible be promptly charged-off when the loss is confirmed, regardless of the delinquency status of the loan. We may elect to recognize a partial charge-off when management has determined that the value of collateral is less than the remaining investment in the loan. A loan or obligation does not need to be charged-off, regardless of delinquency status, if (i) management has determined there exists sufficient collateral to protect the remaining loan balance and (ii) there exists a strategy to liquidate the collateral. Management may also consider a number of other factors to determine when a charge-off is appropriate. These factors may include, but are not limited to:
•The status of a bankruptcy proceeding;
•The value of collateral and probability of successful liquidation; and/or
•The status of adverse proceedings or litigation that may result in collection.
Consumer unsecured loans and secured loans are evaluated for charge-off after the loan becomes 90 days past due. Unsecured loans are fully charged off and secured loans are charged down to the estimated fair value of the collateral less the cost to sell.

The following is the ACL balance by portfolio segment as of December 31:
(dollars in thousands) Amount % ofTotal Amount % ofTotal
Significant to our ACL is a higher concentration of commercial loans. The ability of borrowers to repay commercial loans is dependent upon the success of their business and general economic conditions. Due to the greater potential for loss within our commercial portfolio, we monitor the commercial loan portfolio through an internal risk rating system. Loan risk ratings are assigned based upon the creditworthiness of the borrower and are reviewed on an ongoing basis according to our internal policies. Loans rated special mention or substandard have potential or well-defined weaknesses not generally found in high quality, performing loans, and require attention from management to limit loss.
The ACL was $101.3 million, or 1.41 percent of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2022, compared to $98.6 million, or 1.41 percent of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2021. The increase in the ACL of $2.8 million was due to a shift between the qualitative and quantitative reserves as well as loan growth. Our total qualitative reserve increased $9.3 million primarily related to a $4.0 million increase in our forecast due to concern with the overall outlook of the economy and a $5.3 million increase in other qualitative factors. Our quantitative reserve decreased $4.8 million primarily due to significant improvement in our CRE hotel portfolio, which was partially offset by deterioration in the C&I portfolio primarily related to a large relationship downgraded to substandard during the year. Specific reserves on loans individually assessed decreased $1.7 million from prior year due to the resolution of a C&I relationship through a note sale.
Federal Home Loan Bank and Other Restricted Stock
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we held FHLB of Pittsburgh stock of $22.0 million and $8.5 million. This investment is carried at cost and evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. We hold FHLB stock because we are a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The FHLB requires members to purchase and hold a specified level of FHLB stock based upon on the members’ asset values, level of borrowings and participation in other programs offered. Stock in the FHLB is non-marketable and is redeemable at the discretion of the FHLB. Members do not purchase stock in the FHLB for the same reasons that traditional equity investors acquire stock in an investor-owned enterprise. Rather, members purchase stock to obtain access to the products and services offered by the FHLB. Unlike equity securities of traditional for-profit enterprises, the stock of the FHLB does not provide its holders with an opportunity for capital appreciation because, by regulation, FHLB stock can only be purchased, redeemed and transferred at par value. We reviewed and evaluated the FHLB capital stock for impairment at December 31, 2022. The FHLB exceeds all required capital ratios. Additionally, we considered that the FHLB has been paying dividends and actively redeeming stock throughout 2022 and 2021. Accordingly, we believe sufficient evidence exists to conclude that no impairment existed at December 31, 2022.

Brokered deposits
Deposits are our primary source of funds. Our deposit base increased substantially through the pandemic related to PPP and stimulus programs, but we have experienced a decrease in deposits during 2022 related to the competitive market driven by rising interest rates. Total deposits decreased $776.6 million, or 10 percent, at December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. Total customer deposits decreased $771.6 million from December 31, 2021. Total brokered deposits decreased $5.0 million from December 31, 2021 due to a reduced need for this type of funding. Brokered deposits are an additional source of funds utilized by ALCO as a way to diversify funding sources, as well as manage our funding costs and structure.

Borrowings are an additional source of funding for us. Total borrowings increased $277.9 million compared to December 31, 2021 due to a decrease in funding from lower deposit levels. Short-term borrowings increased $370.0 million offset by the discontinuation of the customer repurchase agreement product and the maturity of a $7.0 million long-term borrowing compared to December 31, 2021.

We have completed three private placements of trust preferred securities to financial institutions. As a result, we own 100 percent of the common equity of STBA Capital Trust I, DNB Capital Trust I, and DNB Capital Trust II, or the Trusts. The Trusts were formed to issue mandatorily redeemable capital securities to third-party investors. The proceeds from the sale of the securities and the issuance of the common equity by the Trusts were invested in junior subordinated debt securities issued by us. The third-party investors are considered the primary beneficiaries of the Trusts; therefore, the Trusts qualify as variable interest entities, but are not consolidated into our financial statements. The Trusts pays dividends on the securities at the same rate as the interest paid by us on the junior subordinated debt held by the Trusts. DNB Capital Trust I and DNB Capital Trust II were acquired with the DNB Merger. Refer to Note 16 Short-Term Borrowings and Note 17 Long-Term Borrowings and Subordinated Debt to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8.

Wealth Management Assets
As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the S&T Bank Wealth Management assets under administration, which are not accounted for as part of our assets, decreased to $2.2 billion from $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2021. Assets under administration consisted of $1.0 billion in S&T Trust, $0.8 billion in S&T Financial Services and $0.4 billion in Stewart Capital Advisors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as a financial institution’s ability to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Our primary future cash needs are centered on the ability to (i) satisfy the financial needs of depositors who may want to
withdraw funds or of borrowers needing to access funds to meet their credit needs and (ii) to meet our future cash commitments
under contractual obligations with third parties. In order to manage liquidity risk, our Board of Directors has delegated authority to ALCO for the formulation, implementation and oversight of liquidity risk management for S&T. The ALCO’s goal is to maintain adequate levels of liquidity at a reasonable cost to meet funding needs in both a normal operating environment and for potential liquidity stress events. The ALCO monitors and manages liquidity through various ratios, reviewing cash flow projections, performing stress tests and having a detailed contingency funding plan. The ALCO policy guidelines define graduated risk tolerance levels. If our liquidity position moves to a level that has been defined as high risk, specific actions are required, such as increased monitoring or the development of an action plan to reduce the risk position.
Our primary funding and liquidity source is a stable customer deposit base. We believe S&T has the ability to retain existing and attract new deposits, mitigating any funding dependency on other more volatile sources. Refer to the Deposits section of this MD&A for additional discussion on deposits. Although deposits are the primary source of funds, we have identified various other funding sources that can be used as part of our normal funding program when either a structure or cost efficiency has been identified. Additional funding sources accessible to S&T include borrowing availability at the Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB, of Pittsburgh, federal funds lines with other financial institutions, the brokered deposit market and borrowing availability through the Federal Reserve Borrower-In-Custody program. We believe that these funding sources will provide adequate resources to fund our short-term and long-term operating and financing needs. In addition, our ability to access capital markets provides additional sources of funding with respect to strategic investing opportunities. Our access to and the availability of funds in the future will be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to our financial condition and prospects, our credit rating, the liquidity of the overall capital markets and the current state of the economy.
The following table summarizes our material contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022:
Payments Due In
Junior subordinated debt securities(1) — — — 54,453 54,453
(1)Excludes interest
An important component of our ability to effectively respond to potential liquidity stress events is maintaining a cushion of highly liquid assets. Highly liquid assets are those that can be converted to cash quickly, with little or no loss in value, to meet financial obligations. ALCO policy guidelines define a ratio of highly liquid assets to total assets by graduated risk tolerance levels of minimal, moderate and high. At December 31, 2022, S&T Bank had $870.0 million in highly liquid assets, which consisted of $137.6 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks and $732.4 million in unpledged securities. This resulted in a highly liquid assets to total assets ratio of 9.6 percent at December 31, 2022. Highly liquid assets have declined by $431.0 million when comparing December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021. The majority of the decrease in liquid assets is attributed to decreases in cash balances which are primarily a result of decreased deposits. At December 31, 2022, we had remaining borrowing availability of $2.4 billion with the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Refer to Note 16 Short-Term Borrowings and Note 17 Long-Term Borrowings and Subordinated Debt to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and the Borrowings section of this MD&A, for more details.

Capital Resources
Shareholders’ equity decreased $21.8 million, or 1.8 percent, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $105.0 million decrease in other comprehensive income and dividends of $47.0 million, partially offset by net income of $135.5 million. The decrease in other comprehensive income was primarily due to a $87.9 million increase in unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities, net of tax and an increase of $16.8 million in unrealized losses on our interest rate swaps.
We continue to maintain our capital position with a leverage ratio of 11.06 percent as compared to the regulatory guideline of 5.00 percent to be well-capitalized and a risk-based Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 12.81 percent compared to the regulatory guideline of 6.50 percent to be well-capitalized. Our risk-based Tier 1 and Total capital ratios were 13.21 percent and 14.73 percent, which places us above the federal bank regulatory agencies’ well-capitalized guidelines of 8.00 percent and 10.00 percent, respectively. Our ratios are also above the required minimum ratios after the capital conservation buffer, discussed further below, of common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio greater than 7.00 percent, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio greater than 8.50 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio greater than 10.50 percent. We believe that we have the ability to raise additional capital, if necessary.
On March 27, 2020, the regulators issued interim final rule, or IFR, “Regulatory Capital Rule: Revised Transition of the Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology for Allowances” in response to the disrupted economic activity from the spread of COVID-19. The IFR provides financial institutions that adopt CECL during 2020 with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided by the initial two-year delay (“five year transition”). We adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020 and elected to implement the five year transition.
In July 2013 the federal banking agencies issued a final rule to implement Basel III and the minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rule requires a banking organization to maintain a capital conservation buffer composed of common equity tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.50 percent of total risk-weighted assets. Banking organizations must maintain a common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio greater than 7.00 percent, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio greater than 8.50 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio greater than 10.50 percent; otherwise, it will be subject to restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The minimum capital requirements plus the capital conservation buffer exceeds the regulatory capital ratios required for an insured depository institution to be well-capitalized under the FDIC's prompt corrective action framework.
Federal regulators periodically propose amendments to the regulatory capital rules and the related regulatory framework and consider changes to the capital standards that could significantly increase the amount of capital needed to meet applicable standards. The timing of adoption, ultimate form and effect of any such proposed amendments cannot be predicted.
We have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, with the SEC, which allows for the issuance of a variety of securities including debt and capital securities, preferred and common stock and warrants. We may use the proceeds from the sale of securities for general corporate purposes, which could include investments at the holding company level, investing in, or extending credit to subsidiaries, possible acquisitions and stock repurchases. As of December 31, 2022, we had not issued any securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement.
Inflation
Management is aware of the significant effect inflation has on interest rates and can have on financial performance and is closely monitoring the increased inflation rates being experienced in the economy. Our ability to cope with this is best determined by analyzing our capability to respond to changing interest rates and our ability to manage noninterest income and expense. We monitor the mix of interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities through ALCO in order to reduce the impact of inflation on net interest income. We also control the effects of inflation by reviewing the prices of our products and services, by introducing new products and services and by controlling overhead expenses.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is defined as the degree to which changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices can adversely affect a financial institution’s earnings or capital. For most financial institutions, including S&T, market risk primarily reflects exposures to changes in interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations affect earnings by changing net interest income and other interest-sensitive income and expense levels. Interest rate changes also affect capital by changing the net present value of a bank’s future cash flows, and the cash flows themselves, as rates change. Accepting this risk is a normal part of banking and can be an important source of profitability and enhancing shareholder value. However, excessive interest rate risk can threaten a bank’s earnings, capital, liquidity and solvency. Our sensitivity to changes in interest rate movements is continually monitored by the ALCO. The ALCO monitors and manages market risk through rate shock analyses, economic value of equity, or EVE, analyses and by performing stress tests and simulations to mitigate earnings and market value fluctuations due to changes in interest rates.
Rate shock analyses results are compared to a base case to provide an estimate of the impact that market rate changes may have on 12 and 24 months of pretax net interest income. The base case and rate shock analyses are performed on a static balance sheet. A static balance sheet is a no growth balance sheet in which all maturing and/or repricing cash flows are reinvested in the same product at the existing product spread. Rate shock analyses assume an immediate parallel shift in market interest rates and include management assumptions regarding the impact of interest rate changes on non-maturity deposit products (noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, money market and savings) and changes in the prepayment behavior of loans and securities with optionality. S&T policy guidelines limit the change in pretax net interest income over 12- and 24-month horizons using rate shocks in increments of +/- 100 basis points. Policy guidelines define the percentage change in pretax net interest income by graduated risk tolerance levels of minimal, moderate, and high.
In order to monitor interest rate risk beyond the 24-month time horizon of rate shocks on pretax net interest income, we also perform EVE analyses. EVE represents the present value of all asset cash flows minus the present value of all liability cash flows. EVE change results are compared to a base case to determine the impact that market rate changes may have on our EVE. As with rate shock analyses on pretax net interest income, EVE analyses incorporate management assumptions regarding prepayment behavior of fixed rate loans and securities with optionality and the behavior and value of non-maturity deposit products. S&T policy guidelines limit the change in EVE using rate shocks in increments of +/- 100 basis points. Policy guidelines define the percent change in EVE by graduated risk tolerance levels of minimal, moderate, and high.
The table below reflects the rate shock analyses results for the 1 to 12 and 13 to 24 month periods of pretax net interest income and EVE.
The results from the rate shock analyses on net interest income are consistent with having an asset sensitive balance sheet. Having an asset sensitive balance sheet means more assets than liabilities will reprice during the measured time frames. The implications of an asset sensitive balance sheet will differ depending upon the change in market interest rates. For example, with an asset sensitive balance sheet in a declining interest rate environment, more assets than liabilities will decrease in rate. This situation could result in a decrease in net interest income and operating income. Conversely, with an asset sensitive balance sheet in a rising interest rate environment, more assets than liabilities will increase in rate. This situation could result in an increase in net interest income and operating income.

S&T BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our rate shock analyses show less improvement in the percentage change in pretax net interest income in the rates up scenarios when comparing December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021 because we have less excess cash and $500 million of received-fixed interest rate swaps were executed throughout 2022. The percentage change in pretax net interest income in the rates down scenario shows a decline when comparing December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021 because the higher rate environment has increased our asset yields more than our liability costs. A decline in interest rates would result in less interest income with limited interest expense reduction. Our EVE analyses show a decline in the percentage change in EVE in the rates up scenarios and an improvement in the rates down scenario when comparing December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021 due to the impact of interest rates on the value of nonmaturity deposits.
In addition to rate shocks and EVE analyses, we perform a market risk stress test at least annually. The market risk stress test includes sensitivity analyses and simulations. Sensitivity analyses are performed to help us identify which model assumptions cause the greatest impact on pretax net interest income. Sensitivity analyses may include changing prepayment behavior of loans and securities with optionality and the impact of interest rate changes on non-maturity deposit products. Simulation analyses may include the potential impact of rate changes other than the policy guidelines, yield curve shape changes, significant balance mix changes, and various growth scenarios.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
S&T Bancorp, Inc., or S&T, was incorporated on March 17, 1983 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a bank holding company and has five active direct wholly owned subsidiaries, S&T Bank, 9th Street Holdings, Inc., STBA Capital Trust I, DNB Capital Trust I and DNB Capital Trust II, and owns a 50 percent interest in Commonwealth Trust Credit Life Insurance Company, or CTCLIC.
We are presently engaged in non-banking activities through the following six entities: 9th Street Holdings, Inc.; S&T Bancholdings, Inc.; CTCLIC; S&T Insurance Group, LLC; Stewart Capital Advisors, LLC; DN Acquisition Company, Inc.
Our investment holding companies are 9th Street Holdings, Inc. and S&T Bancholdings, Inc. CTCLIC, which is a joint venture with another financial institution, acts as a reinsurer of credit life, accident and health insurance policies sold by S&T Bank and the other institution. S&T Insurance Group, LLC, through its subsidiaries, offers a variety of insurance products. Stewart Capital Advisors, LLC is a registered investment advisor that manages private investment accounts for individuals and institutions. DN Acquisition Company, Inc. was acquired with the DNB merger and was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring and holding Other Real Estate Owned, or OREO, acquired through foreclosure or deed in-lieu-of foreclosure, as well as Bank-occupied real estate.
Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S&T and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments of 20 percent to 50 percent of the outstanding common stock of investees are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Reclassification
Amounts in prior years' financial statements and footnotes are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. All identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value. We record goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Results of operations of the acquired entities are included in the Consolidated Statement of Net Income from the date of acquisition.
Acquired loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses, or ACL. Determining the fair value of acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. In estimating the fair value of our acquired loans, we considered a number of factors including loss rates, internal risk rating, delinquency status, loan type, loan term, prepayment rates, recovery periods and the current interest rate environment. The premium or discount estimated through the loan fair value calculation is recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining life of the loans.
Acquired loans, including those acquired in a business combination, are evaluated to determine if they have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. When the condition exists, these loans are referred to as purchased credit deteriorated, or PCD. An allowance is recognized for a PCD loan by adding it to the purchase price or fair value in a business combination. There is no provision for credit losses, or PCL, recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan since the initial allowance is established through the purchase accounting. After initial recognition, the accounting for a PCD loan follows the credit loss model that applies to that type of asset. Purchased financial loans that do not have a more-than-significant deterioration in credit quality since origination are accounted for in a manner consistent with originated loans. An ACL is recorded with a corresponding charge to PCL. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the methods utilized to estimate the required ACL for these loans is similar to the method used for originated loans.

Fair Value Measurements
We use fair value measurements when recording and disclosing certain financial assets and liabilities. Available-for-sale debt securities, equity securities, trading securities held in a deferred compensation plan and derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, individually assessed loans, OREO and other repossessed assets, mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, and certain other assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market, income and cost approaches. The fair value standard establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on market data we have obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1: valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2: valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded 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 market data.
Level 3: valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our policy is to recognize transfers between any of the fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.
The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies that we use for financial instruments recorded at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
Recurring Basis
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
We obtain fair values for debt securities from a third-party pricing service which utilizes several sources for valuing fixed-income securities. We validate prices received from our pricing service through comparison to a secondary pricing service and broker quotes. We review the methodologies of the pricing services which provide us with a sufficient understanding of the valuation models, assumptions, inputs and pricing to reasonably measure the fair value of our debt securities. The fair value of U.S. treasury securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. The market valuation sources for other debt securities include observable inputs rather than significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 2. The service provider utilizes pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information.
Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are classified as Level 1. Marketable equity securities in markets that are not active are classified as Level 2.
Securities Held in a Deferred Compensation Plan
Securities Held in a Deferred Compensation Plan are reported at fair value with the gains and losses included in other noninterest income in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income. These assets are held in a deferred compensation plan and are invested in readily quoted mutual funds. Accordingly, these assets are classified as Level 1. Deferred compensation plan assets are reported in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges, interest rate swaps for commercial loans with our customers, interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments related to the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market. We calculate the fair value for derivatives using accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. Each valuation considers the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the valuation models to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties’ nonperformance risk in calculating fair value measurements. We consider the impact of master netting agreements and collateral postings with our counterparties to determine the credit valuation adjustment. Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2. Interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments related to mortgage loans are classified as Level 3 due to significant unobservable inputs.
Nonrecurring Basis
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale consist of 1-4 family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market and, from time to time, certain loans transferred from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale, all of which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of 1-4 family residential loans, when marked to fair value, is based on the principal or most advantageous market currently offered for similar loans using observable market data. Loans held for sale marked to fair value are classified as Level 2 if the fair value is determined using a sales or market approach and Level 3 if the fair value is determined using an income approach.
Loans Individually Evaluated
Loans that are individually evaluated to determine whether a specific allocation of ACL is needed are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using either the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs when the loan is collateral dependent and we expect to liquidate the collateral. However, if repayment is expected to come from the operation of the collateral, rather than liquidation, then we do not consider estimated selling costs in determining the fair value of the collateral. Collateral values are generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state certified appraisers. Appraisals may be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or our knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business. If the fair value of loans individually evaluated is determined based on an independent market based appraisal less estimated costs to sell, it is classified as Level 2. If the fair value of loans individually evaluated is determined using an internal valuation, it is classified as Level 3.
OREO and Other Repossessed Assets
OREO and other repossessed assets obtained in partial or total satisfaction of a loan are recorded at the lower of recorded investment in the loan or fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or fair value less cost to sell. Accordingly, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent state certified appraisers. Appraisals on OREO may be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information available to us. If the fair value for OREO is determined based on an independent market-based appraisal less estimated costs to sell or an executed sales agreement, it is classified as Level 2. If the fair value for OREO is determined using an internal valuation, it is classified as Level 3.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs are reported using the amortization method and are evaluated for impairment quarterly by comparing the carrying value to the fair value of the MSRs. The fair value of MSRs is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, considering expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. The expected rate of mortgage loan prepayments is the most significant factor driving the value of MSRs. MSRs are considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds fair value. The valuation model includes significant unobservable inputs; therefore, MSRs are classified as Level 3 when marked to fair value.

Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting guidance requires disclosure of the fair value of all of an entity’s assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. The majority of our assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of these instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaged in an exchange transaction. Also, it is our general practice and intent to hold our financial instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or sales activities with respect to such financial instruments. For fair value disclosure purposes, we substantially utilize the fair value measurement criteria as required and explained above. In cases where quoted fair values are not available, we use present value methods to determine the fair value of our financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and due from banks, including interest-bearing deposits approximate fair value.
Loans
Our methodology to fair value loans includes an exit price notion. The fair value of variable rate loans that may reprice frequently at short-term market rates is based on carrying values adjusted for liquidity and credit risk. The fair value of variable rate loans that reprice at intervals of one year or longer, such as adjustable rate mortgage products, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses that utilize interest rates currently being offered for similar loans and adjusted for liquidity and credit risk. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that utilizes interest rates currently being offered for similar loans adjusted for liquidity and credit risk. The valuation models include significant unobservable inputs; therefore, loans are classified as Level 3. The carrying amount of interest receivable approximates fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB, and Other Restricted Stock
It is not practical to determine the fair value of our FHLB and other restricted stock due to the restrictions placed on the transferability of these stocks; it is presented at carrying value.
Collateral Receivable
Collateral receivable is cash that is made available to counterparties as collateral for our interest rate swaps. The carrying amount included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for deposits without defined maturities (e.g., noninterest and interest-bearing demand, money market and savings accounts) are by definition equal to the amounts payable on demand. Deposits without defined maturities are classified as Level 1. The carrying amounts for variable rate, fixed-term time deposits approximate their fair values. Estimated fair values for fixed rate and other time deposits are based on discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered for time deposits with similar terms. Fixed rate and other time deposits are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts of securities sold under repurchase agreements, or REPOs, and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. Fair values are based on observable inputs in a secondary market; therefore, these are classified as Level 2.
Long-Term Borrowings
The fair values disclosed for fixed rate long-term borrowings are determined by discounting their contractual cash flows using current interest rates for long-term borrowings of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of variable rate long-term borrowings approximate their fair values. Fair values are based on observable inputs in a secondary market; therefore, these are classified as Level 2.
