The Bank, which is a wholly-owned Indiana-chartered commercial bank subsidiary of the Company, provides a variety of banking services to individuals and business customers through 16 locations in southern Indiana. The Bank attracts deposits primarily from the general public and uses those funds, along with other borrowings, primarily to originate commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, construction, commercial business and consumer loans, and to a lesser extent, to invest in mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds and other investment securities. The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Savings Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation that manages a securities portfolio, and Southern Indiana Financial Corporation, which is currently inactive.

 

The Captive, which is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company, is a Nevada corporation that provides property and casualty insurance to the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s active subsidiaries. In addition, the Captive provides reinsurance to 11 other third-party insurance captives for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in the insurance marketplace.

 

On April 25, 2017, the Bank formed Q2 Business Capital, LLC (“Q2”), which is an Indiana limited liability company that specializes in the origination and servicing of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. The Bank owns 51% of Q2 with the option to purchase the minority interest between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. In accordance with Q2’s operating agreement, the Bank was allocated the first $1.7 million of Q2’s cumulative net income with any additional profits and losses allocated 51% to the Bank and 49% to Q2’s minority members.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019, the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. All of these adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Such adjustments are the only adjustments included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, conform to general practices within the banking industry and are presented as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not contain certain information included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

2.Acquisition of Dearmin Bancorp and The First National Bank of Odon

 

On February 9, 2018, the Company acquired Dearmin Bancorp, Inc. (“Dearmin”) and its majority owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Odon (“FNBO”), a full service community bank located in Odon, Indiana. The acquisition expanded the Company’s presence into Daviess County, Indiana. The Company expects to benefit from growth in this market area as well as from expansion of the banking services provided to the existing customers of FNBO. Cost savings are also expected for the combined bank through economies of scale, efficiencies and the consolidation of business operations.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, FNBO stockholders received $265.00 in cash for each share of FNBO common stock for total cash consideration of $10.6 million. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. In accounting for the acquisition, the excess of cost over the fair value of the acquired net assets of $1.9 million was recorded as goodwill. Transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition totaling $1.3 million were expensed as incurred for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2018. No transaction and integration costs were recognized for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019.

 

Following is a condensed balance sheet providing the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:

 

   (In thousands) 
     
Cash and due from banks  $1,310 
Interest-bearing deposits with banks   15,957 
Interest-bearing time deposits with banks   3,817 
Investment securities   39,978 
Loans, net   34,467 
Premises and equipment   1,125 
Goodwill arising in the acquisition   1,912 
Core deposit intangible   1,487 
Other assets   2,890 
Total assets acquired   102,943 
      
Deposit accounts   91,765 
Net deferred tax liabilities   205 
Other liabilities   373 
Total liabilities assumed   92,343 
      
Total consideration  $10,600 

 

In accounting for the acquisition, $1.5 million was assigned to a core deposit intangible which is amortized over a weighted-average estimated economic life of 9.1 years. It is not anticipated that the core deposit intangible will have a significant residual value. No amount of the goodwill or core deposit intangible arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. On the acquisition date, no loans were identified with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination. Loans acquired not subject to ASC 310-30 included non-impaired loans with a fair value of $34.5 million and gross contractual amounts receivable of $41.5 million at the date of acquisition.

 

3.Investment Securities

 

U.S. agency bonds and notes, agency mortgage-backed securities and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) include treasury notes issued by the U.S. government; securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), a U.S. government agency; and securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), which are U.S. government sponsored enterprises. The Company holds municipal bonds issued by municipal governments within the U.S. The Company also holds pass-through asset-backed securities guaranteed by the SBA representing participating interests in pools of long term debentures issued by state and local development companies certified by the SBA. Privately issued CMO and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are complex securities issued by non government special purpose entities that are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and residential home equity loans.

 

Investment securities have been classified according to management’s intent.

 

Trading Account Securities

 

Prior to June 30, 2018, the Company invested in small and medium lot, investment grade municipal bonds through a managed brokerage account. The brokerage account was managed by an investment advisory firm registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During May 2018, the Company ceased its trading activity and had no trading account securities at September 30, 2018 or March 31, 2019. As such, there were no gains or losses on trading account securities during the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company reported a net loss on trading account securities of $59,000. During the six-month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company reported a net gain on trading account securities of $91,000.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

The total available for sale debt securities in loss positions at March 31, 2019, which consisted of U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities and CMOs, privately issued CMOs, SBA certificates and municipal bonds, had a fair value as a percentage of amortized cost of 98.49%. All of the agency and municipal securities are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and municipal governments, and are generally secured by first mortgage loans and municipal project revenues.

 

The Company evaluates the existence of a potential credit loss component related to the decline in fair value of the privately issued CMO and ABS portfolios each quarter using an independent third party analysis. At March 31, 2019, the Company held fourteen privately-issued CMO and ABS securities, acquired in a 2009 bank merger, with an aggregate amortized cost of $1.2 million and fair value of $1.4 million that have been downgraded to a substandard regulatory classification due to the security’s credit quality rating by various nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”).

 

At March 31, 2019, one privately-issued CMO was in a loss position and had depreciated approximately 8.25% from the Company’s carrying value and was collateralized by residential mortgage loans. This security had a total fair value of $37,000 and a total unrealized loss of $3,000 at March 31, 2019, and was rated below investment grade by NRSROs. Based on the independent third party analysis of the expected cash flows, management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment is required to be recognized on the remaining privately issued CMO and ABS portfolios. While the Company does not anticipate additional credit-related impairment losses at March 31, 2019, additional deterioration in market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the credit quality in the future, and therefore, require a credit related impairment charge.

 

The unrealized losses on U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, SBA certificates and municipal bonds relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies, or other governments, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As management has the ability to hold debt securities to maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, public information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic conditions and trends, among other factors. The Company classifies loans based on credit risk at least quarterly. The Company uses the following regulatory definitions for risk ratings:

 

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance on the Company’s books as an asset is not warranted.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Modification of a loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. By granting the concession, the Company expects to obtain more cash or other value from the debtor, or to increase the probability of receipt, than would be expected by not granting the concession. The concession may include, but is not limited to, reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, reduction of accrued interest, extension of the maturity date or reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt. A concession will be granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Company does not expect to collect all amounts due, including interest at the original stated rate. A concession may also be granted if the debtor is not able to access funds elsewhere at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured debt. The Company’s determination of whether a loan modification is a TDR considers the individual facts and circumstances surrounding each modification.

 

Loans modified in a TDR may be retained on accrual status if the borrower has maintained a period of performance in which the borrower’s lending relationship was not greater than ninety days delinquent at the time of restructuring and the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured. Loans modified in a TDR that are placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring will continue on nonaccrual status until the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms of at least six consecutive months.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded investment in TDRs at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018. There was no specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at March 31, 2019. There was $5,000 of specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at September 30, 2018.

For the TDRs listed above, the terms of modification included deferral of contractual principal and interest payments, reduction of the stated interest rate and extension of the maturity date where the debtor was unable to access funds elsewhere at a market interest rate for debt with similar risk characteristics.

 

At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company had committed to lend $1,000 to customers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs.

 

There were no principal charge-offs recorded as a result of TDRs during the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. There was no specific allowance for loan losses related to TDRs modified during the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In the event that a TDR subsequently defaults, the Company evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance for loan losses may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying amount of the loan.

 

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company had one TDR with an outstanding balance of $114,000 that was modified within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default. During the three month period ended March 31, 2019 and the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2018, the Company did not have any TDRs that were modified within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default.

Loan Servicing Rights

 

The Company originates loans to commercial customers under the SBA 7(a) and other programs, and sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans with servicing rights retained. Loan servicing rights on originated SBA loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized servicing rights are then amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Impairment of servicing rights is assessed using the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

The aggregate fair value of loan servicing rights approximates its carrying value. A valuation model employed by an independent third party calculates the present value of future cash flows and is used to estimate fair value at the date of sale and on a quarterly basis for impairment analysis purposes. Management periodically compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the loan servicing rights include the discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions. For purposes of impairment, risk characteristics such as interest rate, loan type, term and investor type are used to stratify the loan servicing rights. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in net gain on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The unpaid principal balance of SBA loans serviced for others was $137.6 million, $120.6 million and $96.9 million at March 31, 2019, September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $9,000 and $16,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $6,000 and $9,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $301,000 and $573,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $191,000 and $341,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Net servicing income and costs are included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

 

An analysis of SBA loan servicing rights for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

8.Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

Level 1:      Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

Level 2:       Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3:      Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair value is based upon quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models or obtained from third parties that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters or a matrix pricing model that employs the Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis and observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value, or at the lower of cost or fair value. These adjustments may include unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments have been applied consistently over time.

The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Other than SBA loans held for sale (see discussion below), there have been no changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis during the six-month period ended March 31, 2019.

 

Securities Available for Sale. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis.  These securities are classified as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy where quoted market prices from reputable third-party brokers are available in an active market. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  These securities are reported using Level 2 inputs and the fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors. For securities where quoted market prices, market prices of similar securities or prices from an independent third party pricing service are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair value of securities available for sale are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of income tax effect.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Prior to June 30, 2018, residential mortgage loans held for sale were carried at the lower of cost or market value. Effective July 1, 2018, the Company elected to record substantially all of its residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 825-10. The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on specific prices of the underlying contracts for sale to investors or current secondary market prices for loans with similar characteristics, and is classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

SBA Loans Held for Sale. SBA loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. At September 30, 2018, the fair value of SBA loans held for sale was obtained from an independent third party pricing firm based on specific prices of the underlying contracts for sale to investors or current secondary market prices for loans with similar characteristics, and was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2019, the fair value of SBA loans held for sale reflects management’s estimate based on the weighted average price of SBA loans sold to investors during the prior quarter and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments. Derivative financial instruments consist of mortgage banking interest rate lock commitments and forward mortgage loan sale commitments. The fair value of forward mortgage loan sale commitments is obtained from an independent third party and is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the sales transaction with the investor. The fair value of forward mortgage loan sale commitments is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

 -35-

The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is also obtained from an independent third party and is based on investor prices for the underlying loans or current secondary market prices for loans with similar characteristics, less estimated costs to originate the loans and adjusted for the anticipated funding probability (pull-through rate). The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of derivative assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three- and six-months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of impaired loans is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Impaired loans are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is a collateral-dependent loan. At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, all impaired loans were considered to be collateral dependent for the purpose of determining fair value. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and its fair value is generally determined based on real estate appraisals or other independent evaluations by qualified professionals. The appraisals are generally then discounted by management in order to reflect management’s estimate of the fair value of the collateral given the current market conditions and the condition of the collateral. At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of impaired loans included discounts from appraised value ranging from 0.0% to 15.0% and estimated costs to sell the collateral ranging from 0.0% to 6.0%. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized provisions for loan losses of $379,000 and $16,000, respectively, for impaired loans. During the six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized provisions for loan losses of $546,000 and $18,000, respectively, for impaired loans.

Loan Servicing Rights. Loan servicing rights represent the value associated with servicing SBA loans that have been sold. The fair value of loan servicing rights is determined on a quarterly basis by an independent third party valuation model using market-based discount rate and prepayment assumptions, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2019, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loan servicing rights included discount rates ranging from 8.41% to 21.18% with a weighted average of 12.36% and prepayment speed assumptions ranging from 5.55% to 17.72% with a weighted average rate of 12.04%. At September 30, 2018, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loan servicing rights included discount rates ranging from 10.84% to 23.22% with a weighted average of 14.63% and prepayment speed assumptions ranging from 4.32% to 14.43% with a weighted average rate of 10.08%. Impairment of the loan servicing rights is recognized on a quarterly basis through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on loan servicing rights for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned held for sale is reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of other real estate owned is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Other real estate owned is reported at fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the property. The fair values are determined by real estate appraisals, which are then generally discounted by management in order to reflect management’s estimate of the fair value of the property given current market conditions and the condition of the property. At March 31, 2019, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of other real estate owned included a discount from appraised value (including estimated costs to sell the property) ranging from 15.0% to 67.1% with a weighted average of 28.7%. At September 30, 2018, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of other real estate owned included a discount from appraised value (including estimated costs to sell the property) ranging from 15.0% to 100.0% with a weighted average of 48.9%. The Company did not recognize any charges to write down other real estate owned to fair value for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019. The Company recognized charges of $49,000 and $59,000 to write-down other real estate owned to fair value for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2018.

 

Transfers Between Categories. As previously described, management used different valuation methodologies related to SBA loans held for sale at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, resulting in a change in classification from Level 2 to Level 3 for those types of instruments. Other than that change, there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Financial Instruments Recorded Using Fair Value Option. Under FASB ASC 825-10, the Company may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with changes in fair value reported in income. The election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset or financial liability, and may not be revoked once made.
