Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning and protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

● statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

● statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

● statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

● estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of the management of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) and Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

● changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

● the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including the magnitude and duration of the ongoing novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and its impacts on the economies and communities we serve, which may likely have an adverse impact on our credit portfolio, goodwill, stock price, borrowers and the economy as a whole both globally and domestically;

● local, regional, national and international economic and market conditions and events and the impact they may have on us, our customers and our assets and liabilities;

● competition among depository and other traditional and non-traditional financial service providers;

● risks related to the concentration of our business in Montana, including risks associated with changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana;

● inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments or reduces loan demand;

● our ability to attract deposits and other sources of funding or liquidity;

● the impact of adverse developments affecting the U.S. banking industry, including bank failures and liquidity concerns, which could cause continued or worsening economic and market volatility, and regulatory responses thereto;

● the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions, customer behavior, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions and other uncertainties, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages on economic conditions and our business;

● an inability to access capital markets or maintain deposits or borrowing costs;

● uncertainty regarding the content, timing and impact of regulatory capital and liquidity requirements;

● the risks related to the transition and physical impacts of climate change;

● our ability to achieve environmental, social and governance goals and commitments or the impact of any changes in the Company’s sustainability strategy or commitments generally;

● changes or volatility in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of our investment securities and goodwill;

● our ability to implement our growth strategy, including identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions, raising additional capital to finance such transactions, entering new markets, possible failures in realizing the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions and an inability of our personnel, systems and infrastructure to keep pace with such growth;

● the effect of acquisitions we may make, if any, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;

● risks related to the integration of any businesses we have acquired or expect to acquire, including exposure to potential asset quality and credit quality risks and unknown or contingent liabilities, the time and costs associated with integrating systems, technology platforms, procedures and personnel;

● potential impairment on the goodwill we have recorded or may record in connection with business acquisitions;

● political developments, uncertainties or instability;

● our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

● the need to retain capital for strategic or regulatory reasons;

● changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

● our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans;

● the level of future deposit insurance premium assessments;

● our ability to implement new technologies and maintain secure and reliable technology systems;

● our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable information technology systems, effectively defend ourselves against cyberattacks, or recover from breaches to our cybersecurity infrastructure;

● the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates;

● changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and

● the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see the Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and other filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), formerly American Federal Savings Bank (“AFSB”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.

In September 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with First Community Bancorp, Inc. ("FCB"), a Montana corporation, and FCB's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, FCB would merge with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The merger closed on April 30, 2022. First Community Bank operated nine branches in Ashland, Culbertson, Froid, Glasgow, Helena, Hinsdale, Three Forks and Wolf Point, Montana. 

In March 2021, the Bank established a subsidiary, Opportunity Housing Fund, LLC ("OHF"), to invest in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") projects. The LIHTC program is designed to encourage capital investment in construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. Tax credits are allowable over a 10-year period. Investments in LIHTC projects are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition and totaled $5,769,000 and $1,237,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's remaining capital commitments to these LIHTC projects were $3,068,000 as of September 30, 2023 and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. 

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired Western Holding Company of Wolf Point, ("WHC"), a Montana corporation, and WHC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point ("WB"), a Montana chartered commercial bank. The acquisition included one branch in Wolf Point, Montana. In addition, Western Financial Services, Inc. ("WFS") was acquired through the WHC merger. WFS facilitates deferred payment contracts for customers that produce agricultural products.  

The Bank currently has 31 full-service branches. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities. The Bank also operated certain branches under the names Dutton State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Denton and The State Bank of Townsend. Effective January 2022, these branches were rebranded and are now only operating as Opportunity Bank of Montana. 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 8, 2023. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended  September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending  December 31, 2022 or any other period. In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, mortgage servicing rights, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, OHF, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and WFS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications 

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2023. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2023 for recognition and/or disclosure.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred because of a decrease in the Company's stock price and a revision in the earnings outlook in comparison to budget. These conditions are primarily due to economic uncertainty and market volatility from the rising interest rate environment. As a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of August 31, 2023, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) to amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing to eliminate Step 2 from the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Application of New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2023 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This guidance is commonly referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"), and the CECL model is based on expected credit losses rather than the model used for periods prior to January 1, 2023, which was based on incurred losses. The allowance for credit losses is established for current expected credit losses on the Company's loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better estimate their credit losses. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, Topic 326 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, requiring credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down for those securities management does not intend to sell or is not likely to be required to sell. 

On January 1, 2023, the Company also adopted ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This guidance was an update to ASU No. 2016-13, and the Company adopted using the modified retrospective transition method. The amendments in this update eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructure ("TDR") loans and enhanced the disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. 

The Company adopted Topic 326 using the modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized in retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326. Results from periods prior to January 1, 2023 are presented using previously applicable U.S. GAAP. The adoption resulted in an increase of $700,000 to our allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), an increase of $1,500,000 to our allowance for unfunded loan commitments, and a net-of-tax cumulative effect adjustment of $1,616,000 to decrease the beginning balance of retained earnings. 

The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's available-for-sale securities. However, any subsequent estimated credit losses are required to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses associated with the applicable securities.

The Company finalized the adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023 as detailed in the following table:

	January 1, 2023 As Reported Under Topic 326		January 1, 2023 Pre-Topic 326 Adoption		Impact of Topic 326 Adoption

Real estate loans:
Residential 1-4 family	$	1,493	$	1,472	$	21
Commercial real estate		9,571		9,037		534
Other loans:
Home equity		512		509		3

Liabilities
Allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments	$	1,500	$	-	$	1,500
Total					$	2,200

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans – The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans, and accrued interest is reported separately on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and recoveries are credited to the allowance when received. The Company may also account for expected recoveries should information of an anticipated recovery become available. In the case of actual or expected recoveries, amounts may not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off.

Management utilizes relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, historical loss experience, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The lookback period in the analysis includes historical data from 2014 to present. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Management may selectively apply external market data to subjectively adjust the Company’s own loss history including index or peer data.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Collective Assessment – The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured on a collective cohort basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Generally, collectively assessed loans are grouped first by call report code, then by similar risk characteristics.

The Company has elected to use the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) methodology for all cohorts. The WARM methodology looks at historical quarterly loss rates for each loan cohort over the established “look back” period to determine an average loss rate for each cohort. Each cohort is analyzed to determine the remaining life using amortization schedules, including prepayments.

Historical charge off and recovery activity is compared to loan balances in each cohort quarterly and is averaged to determine an estimated annual charge off rate. The average loss rate over this look-back period is applied annually over the remaining life of the cohort to determine an expected loss percentage.

The Company utilizes reasonable and supportable forecasted losses based on current economic conditions when estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans. Forecasts are based on regression and matrix models that compare national economic indicators to peer charge off rates and local economic indicators to the Company’s charge off rates. The expected loss rate for each cohort is adjusted by the difference between the Bank's historical loss rate and forecasted loss rates. The forecasting models are updated and compared to loss rates quarterly.

The Company recognizes that all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio must be considered to determine the estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date. Furthermore, the methodology, in and of itself and even when selectively adjusted by comparison to market and peer data, does not provide a sufficient basis to determine the estimated credit losses. The Company adjusts the modeled expected losses by qualitative adjustments to incorporate significant risks to form a sufficient basis to estimate the credit losses.

Individual Analysis – Loans considered to have different risk characteristics that do not fall within any cohort will be analyzed individually on a quarterly basis for potential individual reserve requirements.

The Company has elected the collateral-dependent practical expedient for its collateral-dependent loans, where estimated credit losses are based upon the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell if applicable. This practical expedient can be applied to a loan if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. If it is probable that the Company will foreclose on the collateral, the use of the fair value of the collateral to calculate an allowance for credit loss is required. Estimates of future collateral proceeds will be based upon available appraisals, reference to recent valuations of comparable properties, and any other sources of information believed appropriate by management under the specific circumstances. When appraisals are ordered to support the analysis of a collateral-dependent loan, the appraisal is reviewed internally.

Where the primary and/or expected source of repayment of a specific loan is believed to be the receipt of principal and interest payments from the borrower and/or the refinancing of the loan by another creditor, impairment will generally be measured based upon the present value of expected proceeds discounted at the contractual interest rate. Expected refinancing proceeds may be estimated from review of term sheets actually received by the borrower from other creditors and/or from the Company’s knowledge of terms generally available from other banks.

Determining the Contractual Life – Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual life excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications. Prepayment assumptions will be determined by analysis of historical behavior by loan cohort.

Restructured Loans – The allowance for credit losses on loans that are considered modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment. Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are considered modifications if the creditor grants a concession to the debtor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, that it would not otherwise consider. Loan modifications that result in a change in the timing or amount of contractual cash flows include situations where there are interest rate reductions, term extensions, other than insignificant payment delays, and combinations of the listed modifications. In addition, for public business entities, the amendments in the update require that entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. This information must be included in the vintage disclosures, which require an entity to disclose the amortized cost basis of loans by credit-quality indicator and the loan category by year of origination.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments – The Company estimates expected credit losses over the period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is adjusted through a provision for credit losses expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate utilizes the same factors and assumptions as the allowance for credit losses on loans and is applied at the same collective cohort level.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities – For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company will first determine whether it intends to sell the security or will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The security’s amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through other expense if either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. If neither of the aforementioned criteria are met, the Company will determine whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses. If a credit loss exists, the Company will report the portion of impairment related to credit losses in an allowance for credit losses with an offsetting entry to net income. The amount of ACL is limited to the amount fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any portion of estimated credit losses that have not been recorded through an ACL are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020- 04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate such as SOFR. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. The Company evaluated the guidance and identified substitution rates for impacted loans and debt. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021- 01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU No. 2021- 01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. ASU No. 2021- 01 has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Effective April 30, 2022, Eagle completed its previously announced merger with FCB. The acquisition closed after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of FCB shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $38,577,000 and included cash consideration of $10,226,000 and common stock issued of $28,351,000.

This transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

All of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combinations were expensed as incurred. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, consideration paid and the resulting goodwill.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS – continued

For acquisitions, the fair value analysis of the loan portfolios resulted in a valuation adjustment for each loan based on an amortization schedule of expected cash flow. Individual amortization schedules were used for each loan over a certain amount and those with specifically identified loss exposure. The remainder of the loans were grouped by type and risk rating into loan pools (based on loan type, fixed or variable interest rate, revolving or term payments and risk rating). Yield inputs for the amortization schedules included contractual interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, liquidity adjustments and market yields. Credit inputs for the amortization schedules included probability of payment default, loss given default rates and individually identified loss exposure.             

The total accretable discount on FCB acquired loans was $5,416,000 as of April 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, accretion of the loan discount was $142,000 and $714,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, accretion of the loan discount was $333,000 and $1,060,000, respectively. The remaining accretable loan discount was $3,405,000 as of September 30, 2023. Three impaired loans were acquired through the FCB acquisition with insignificant balances as of April 30, 2022.

Fair value adjustments recorded for FCB related to premises and equipment were insignificant overall. The Company used independent third-party appraisals in the determination of the fair value of acquired properties.

Core deposit intangible assets of $7,004,000 were recorded for FCB and are being amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related deposits of 10 years from date of acquisition. For acquisitions, the core deposit intangible value is a function of the difference between the cost of the acquired core deposits and the alternative cost of funds. These cash flow streams were discounted to present value. The fair value of other deposit accounts acquired were valued by estimating future cash flows to be received or paid from individual or homogenous groups of assets and liabilities and then discounting those cash flows to a present value using rates of return that were available in financial markets for similar financial instruments on or near the acquisition date.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The Company recorded no acquisition costs related to FCB during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, The Company recorded acquisition costs related to FCB of $103,000 and $2,296,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Acquisition costs included professional fees and data processing expenses incurred related to the acquisition.

Operations of acquired entities have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since date of acquisition. The Company does not consider them as separate reporting segments and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from acquisition date through September 30, 2023.

As of  September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were, respectively, 319 and 388 securities in unrealized loss positions. Based on analysis of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2023, the Company determined the decline in value was unrelated to credit losses and was primarily caused by changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities. The Company is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. As a result, no ACL was recorded on available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2023 and no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded at December 31, 2022. As part of this determination, consideration was given to the extent to which fair value was less than amortized cost, adverse security ratings by a rating agency and other factors.

Prior to the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2023, a loan was considered impaired when the Company determined it was probable that it would be unable to collect all amounts due to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Various factors determined impairment such as the financial condition of the borrower, value of the underlying collateral, and general economic conditions.

The implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changed disclosures related to loans and, as a result, certain disclosures are no longer required. The following tables represent disclosures for the prior period that are no longer required as of January 1, 2023, but are included in this Form 10-Q since the Company is required to disclose comparative information.

Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is considered insignificant. Interest payments received on a cash basis related to nonaccrual loans were $375,000 at September 30, 2023 and $415,000 at  December 31, 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company modified one commercial real estate loan with an amortized cost basis of $431,000 for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty by consolidating four loans and refinancing into one short-term, interest only loan for 12 months. There was no forgiveness of principal and the loan is considered current with its modified terms as of September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended  September 30, 2023, the Company modified two commercial real estate loans. The first loan with an amortized cost basis of $534,000 was modified by consolidating two lines of credit and refinancing into one long term loan for ten years. The second loan with an amortized cost basis of $431,000 was modified by consolidating four loans and refinancing into one short-term, interest only loan for 12 months. There has been no forgiveness of principal for either of the loans, and they are considered current with their modified terms as of September 30, 2023. 

Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2022-02, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, there were no new TDR loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were two new TDR agricultural loans. The recorded investment for the first loan at the time of restructure was $331,000. No charge-offs were incurred and the loan is now on accrual status. The recorded investment at the time of restructure for the second loan was $145,000. This loan was paid off during the nine months ended  September 30, 2023.

In January 2022, the Company completed the issuance of $40,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes due in 2032 in a private placement transaction to certain institutional accredited investors and qualified buyers. The notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 3.50% payable semi-annually. Starting February 1, 2027, interest will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread of 218.0 basis points, payable quarterly. The notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after February 1, 2027. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. 

In June 2020, the Company completed the issuance of $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes due in 2030 in a private placement transaction to certain qualified institutional accredited investors. The notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 5.50% payable semi-annually. Starting July 1, 2025, interest will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be three-month term SOFR plus a spread of 509.0 basis points, payable quarterly. The notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after July 1, 2025. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. 

In February 2017, the Company completed the issuance, through a private placement, of $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.75% fixed senior unsecured notes due in 2022. The interest was paid semi-annually through maturity date. The notes were not subject to redemption at the option of the Company. The notes were redeemed on February 15, 2022.

In September 2005, the Company completed the private placement of $5,155,000 in subordinated debentures to the Trust. The Trust funded the purchase of the subordinated debentures through the sale of trust preferred securities to First Tennessee Bank, N.A. with a liquidation value of $5,155,000. Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders in December 2005. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities was fixed at 6.02% until December 2010 then became variable at three-month LIBOR plus 1.42% until June 30, 2023, making the rate 6.20% as of  December 31, 2022. In December of 2022, Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopted final rule 12 C.F.R. Part 253, Regulation Implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. Rule 253 identified SOFR-benchmark rates to replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. As a result, the variable rate for interest payable converted to three-month CME Term SOFR plus 1.68% beginning during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The rate was 7.08% as of September 30, 2023. Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years. The preferred securities mature in December 2035 unless the Company elects and obtains regulatory approval to accelerate the maturity date. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES 

The Company enters into commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans. The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in fair values of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale. An optimal amount of mortgage loans are sold directly into bulk commitments with investors at the time an interest rate is locked, other loans are sold on an individual best efforts basis at the time an interest rate is locked, and the remaining balance of locked loans are hedged using To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities or bulk mandatory forward loan sale commitments.

Derivatives are accounted for as free-standing or economic derivatives and are measured at fair value. Derivatives are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of condition.

Derivatives are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
	Notional		Fair Value				Notional		Fair Value
	Amount		Asset		Liability		Amount		Asset		Liability
	(In Thousands)
Interest rate lock commitments	$	31,340	$	-	$	192	$	18,603	$	-	$	81
Forward TBA mortgage-backed securities		22,000		255		-		13,000		11		-

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking, net, within noninterest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Net gains of $39,000 and $209,000 were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net gains of $133,000 were recorded for the nine months ended  September 30, 2023 compared to net losses of $282,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are grouped in three levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

■ Level 1 Inputs – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

■ Level 2 Inputs – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

■ Level 3 Inputs – Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that may include significant management judgment and estimation.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy at the reporting date, is set forth below.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – continued

Available-for-Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 (nationally recognized securities exchanges) and Level 2 inputs. For level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include but is not limited to dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions.

Loans Held-for-Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on committed sales contracts and commitments of similar loans if not already committed and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Derivative Instruments – The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments, forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments and adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. Interest rate lock commitments are considered Level 3 inputs and forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are considered Level 2 inputs.

Collateral-Dependent Loans – Individually reviewed collateral-dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Collateral-dependent loans are considered Level 3 inputs. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets – Fair values are determined at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and are considered Level 3 inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated periodically for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – The fair value of mortgage servicing rights are estimated using net present value of expected cash flows based on a third party model that incorporates industry assumptions and is adjusted for factors such as prepayment speeds and are considered Level 3 inputs.

The following tables summarize financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – continued

Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as impaired loans that are collateral-dependent, real estate and other repossessed assets and mortgage servicing rights.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction 

This discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is necessary to understand Eagle's financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 2022. The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in Eagle's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 8, 2023, and in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying Notes thereto, included in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the future results that may be attained for the entire year or other interim periods. 

Executive Summary

The Company’s primary business activity is the ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Montana chartered commercial bank that focuses on both consumer and commercial lending. It engages in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities. Our earnings depend primarily on our level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits, borrowed funds, and trust-preferred securities. Net interest income is a function of our interest rate spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets compared to interest-bearing liabilities. Also contributing to our earnings is noninterest income, which consists primarily of service charges and fees on loan and deposit products and services, net gains and losses on sale of assets, and mortgage loan service fees. Net interest income and noninterest income are offset by provisions for loan losses, general administrative and other expenses, including salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs, as well as by state and federal income tax expense.  

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with a large portion of its loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages, which has enabled it to successfully market home equity loans, as well as a wide range of shorter-term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). The Bank has also focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. We have made significant progress in this initiative over the past decade. The purpose of diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s exposure on the residential mortgage market, as well as to improve our ability to manage our interest rate spread. Recent acquisitions have added to our agricultural loans, which generally have shorter maturities and nominally higher interest rates. This has provided additional interest income and improved interest rate sensitivity. The Bank’s management recognizes that fee income will also enable it to be less dependent on specialized lending and it now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio which provides a steady source of fee income. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from deposit accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits and certificates of deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise. Gain on sale of loans also provides significant noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Such income will be, and has recently been, adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity.

Management continues to focus on improving the Bank’s earnings. Management believes the Bank needs to continue to concentrate on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income and control of operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as follows: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base should yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the statement of financial condition in an efficient manner. It may become more difficult to maintain deposit growth due to significant competition, the current conditions in the banking industry and possible reduced customer demand for deposits as customers may shift into other asset classes.

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well. The Federal Open Market Committee increased the federal funds target rate to 4.50% during the year ended December 31, 2022. The rate increased to 5.50% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days delinquent, the borrower is sent a past due notice. If the loan becomes 30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquency notice requiring payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.

For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions. If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair market value less estimated selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there was no real estate owned and other repossessed property.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Bank’s earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the single largest component of Eagle’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and investments and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings (the “interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments and interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

The following table includes average balances for financial condition items, as well as interest and dividends and average yields related to the average balances. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields include the effect of deferred fees and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

The following tables present the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in volume multiplied by the old rate; (2) changes in rate, which are changes in rate multiplied by the old volume; and (3) changes not solely attributable to rate or volume, which have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.64 million compared to $3.09 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of $457,000 was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income after provision for credit losses of $2.37 million, largely offset by a a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.61 million. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were both $0.34 for the current period. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were both $0.40 for the prior year comparable period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased to $15.59 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from $17.89 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease of $2.30 million, or 12.9%, was the result of an increase in interest expense of $7.05 million partially offset by an increase in interest and dividend income of $4.75 million.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was $24.09 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $19.34 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest and fees on loans increased to $21.07 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $16.67 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase of $4.40 million, or 26.4%, was due to an increase in the average balance of loans, as well as an increase in the average yield on loans. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $1.48 billion, compared to $1.30 billion for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $175.22 million, or 13.5% and was impacted by organic growth. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable increased by 58 basis points, from 5.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 5.66% for the current period. Interest accretion on purchased loans was $175,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 which resulted in a 4 basis point increase in net interest margin compared to $392,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 which resulted in a 9 basis point increase in net interest margin. Interest on investment securities available-for-sale increased by $239,000, or 9.4% period over period. Average interest rates earned on investments increased to 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 2.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. However, average balances for investments decreased to $319.31 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $378.68 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $8.51 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $7.05 million was due to an increase of $4.43 million in interest expense on deposits, as well as a net increase of $2.61 million in interest expense on total borrowings. The overall average rate on total deposits was up from 0.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 1.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. However, the average balance for total deposits was $1.60 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.66 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense on total borrowings was driven by the average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings which increased from $10.83 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $192.88 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Short-term borrowings have increased to fund loan growth. In addition, the average rate paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased from 4.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, to 5.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.  

Provision for Credit Losses. Provision for credit losses was $588,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $517,000 in loan loss provisions, prior to the adoption of the Current Expected Credit Losses standard, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The provision for credit losses for three months ended September 30, 2023 includes a provision for credit losses on loans of $778,000 and a decrease in the provision for unfunded commitments of $190,000.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income was $6.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $6.25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The slight decrease of $211,000, or 3.4% was due to a decrease in other noninterest income of $191,000 primarily due to a net gain on sale of real estate owned and other repossessed assets during the three months ended September 30, 2022.  Mortgage banking, net, also decreased $109,000. Mortgage banking, net, includes net gain on sale of mortgage loans which decreased to $3.59 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $4.20 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, $109.02 million residential mortgage loans were sold compared to $121.26 million in the same period in the prior year. Mortgage volumes have been impacted by the current interest rate environment. Gross margin levels decreased 17 basis points from 3.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $17.88 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $19.49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.61 million or 8.3%. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $862,000 which was driven by lower commissions paid on residential mortgage originations. Data processing also decreased $478,000 due to implementing technology changes.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $524,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the increase in proportion of tax-exempt income compared to the pretax earnings. The effective tax rate was 16.6% for the current period, decreasing from 25.0% for the prior period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Liquidity

The Bank is required by regulation to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity for safety and soundness purposes. Appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0% and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with the FHLB of Des Moines. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations, advances from the FHLB of Des Moines and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, for investment purposes, to meet operating expenses and capital expenditures, for dividend payments and for stock repurchases to maintain adequate liquidity levels.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on the Bank's commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Bank's ability to generate funds.

The Bank's available borrowing capacity was approximately $333.43 million as of September 30, 2023 and $419.20 million as of December 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2023, the FRB offered a new Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") for eligible depository institutions. The BTFP offers loans of up to one year in length to institutions pledging collateral eligible for purchase by FRB such as U.S. treasuries, agency securities, and mortgage-backed securities. These assets will be valued at par. The Company is not currently utilizing the program; however, this is an additional available funding source.

In addition to bank level liquidity management, Eagle must manage liquidity at the parent company level for various operating needs, including the servicing of debt, the payment of dividends on our common stock, share repurchases, payment of general corporate expense, and potential capital infusions into subsidiaries. The primary source of liquidity for Eagle consists of dividends from the Bank, which is governed by certain rules and regulations of the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve, and access to capital markets. Eagle also had a $10.00 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. The line of credit was increased to $15.00 million as of October 30, 2023. There was no outstanding balance for this line of credit at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Eagle's ability to receive dividends from the Bank in future periods will depend on several factors, including, without limitation, the Bank's future profits, asset quality, liquidity, and overall condition. In addition, both the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and Federal Reserve may require approval to pay dividends, based on certain regulatory statutes and limitations.

Eagle presently believes that the sources of liquidity discussed above, including existing liquid funds on hand, are sufficient to meet its anticipated funding needs in the short and long term. However, if economic conditions were to significantly deteriorate, regulatory capital requirements for Eagle or the Bank were to increase as the result of regulatory directives or otherwise, or Eagle were to believe it is prudent to enhance current liquidity levels, then Eagle may seek additional liquidity from external sources.

Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, the Bank’s internally determined measurement of sensitivity to interest rate movements as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, decreased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 2.50% compared to a decrease of 12.60% at December 31, 2022. The Bank is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity in rising interest rate scenarios.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are found in Part I, Item 1, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of future earnings resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Interest rate risk results from several factors and could have a significant impact on the Company’s net interest income, which is the Company's primary source of revenue. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments and the mix of interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

Although interest rate risk is inherent in the banking industry, banks are expected to have sound risk management practices in place to measure, monitor and control interest rate exposures. The objective of interest rate risk management is to contain the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. The process involves identification and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates.

The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability committee, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Bank’s asset/liability committee. In this capacity, the asset/liability committee develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends. The Company’s goal of its asset and liability management practices is to maintain or increase the level of net interest income within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. 

The Bank has established acceptable levels of interest rate risk as follows for an instantaneous and permanent shock in rates: projected net interest income over the next twelve months (i.e. year-1) and the subsequent twelve months (i.e. year-2) will not be reduced by more than 15.0% given an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of up to 200 basis points or by more than 10.0% given an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of up to 100 basis points. 

The following table includes the Bank’s net interest income sensitivity analysis.

Changes in Market	Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rates	As of September 30, 2023		Policy
(Basis Points)	Year 1	Year 2	Limits
+200	-7.3%	5.0%	-15.0%
+100	-3.3%	7.8%	-10.0%
-100	3.1%	10.9%	-10.0%
-200	5.6%	11.2%	-15.0%

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accounting and financial reporting policies of Eagle are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Eagle has identified certain of its accounting policies as “critical accounting policies,” consisting of those related to the allowance for credit losses and business combinations. In determining which accounting policies are critical in nature, Eagle has identified the policies that require significant judgment or involve complex estimates. It is management's practice to discuss critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors' Audit Committee on a periodic basis, including the development, selection, implementation, and disclosure of the critical accounting policies. The application of these policies has a significant impact on Eagle’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Eagle’s financial results could differ significantly if different judgments or estimates are used in the application of these policies. All accounting policies described in "Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Eagle’s 2022 Form 10-K should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how we record and report our financial performance. There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions, or the judgments affecting the application of these estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in Eagle’s 2022 Form 10-K, other than the following:

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") model on January 1, 2023 and ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, an update to ASU No. 2016-13.

The excess of consideration paid over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that indicate impairment may exist. A goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Estimating the fair value of the reporting unit requires the use of inputs and assumptions including projected earnings of the Company in future years for which there is inherent uncertainty.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred because of a decrease in the Company's stock price and a revision in the earnings outlook in comparison to budget. These conditions are primarily due to economic uncertainty and market volatility from the rising interest rate environment. As a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of August 31, 2023, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. However, changing economic conditions that may adversely affect the Company's performance, the fair value of its assets and liabilities, or its stock price could result in future impairment. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management will continue to monitor events that could influence this conclusion in the future.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the last quarter, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), formerly American Federal Savings Bank (“AFSB”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.

In September 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with First Community Bancorp, Inc. ("FCB"), a Montana corporation, and FCB's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, FCB would merge with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The merger closed on April 30, 2022. First Community Bank operated nine branches in Ashland, Culbertson, Froid, Glasgow, Helena, Hinsdale, Three Forks and Wolf Point, Montana. 

In March 2021, the Bank established a subsidiary, Opportunity Housing Fund, LLC ("OHF"), to invest in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") projects. The LIHTC program is designed to encourage capital investment in construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. Tax credits are allowable over a 10-year period. Investments in LIHTC projects are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition and totaled $5,769,000 and $1,237,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's remaining capital commitments to these LIHTC projects were $3,068,000 as of September 30, 2023 and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. 

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired Western Holding Company of Wolf Point, ("WHC"), a Montana corporation, and WHC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point ("WB"), a Montana chartered commercial bank. The acquisition included one branch in Wolf Point, Montana. In addition, Western Financial Services, Inc. ("WFS") was acquired through the WHC merger. WFS facilitates deferred payment contracts for customers that produce agricultural products.  

The Bank currently has 31 full-service branches. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities. The Bank also operated certain branches under the names Dutton State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Denton and The State Bank of Townsend. Effective January 2022, these branches were rebranded and are now only operating as Opportunity Bank of Montana. 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 8, 2023. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended  September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending  December 31, 2022 or any other period. In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, mortgage servicing rights, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, OHF, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and WFS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications 

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2023. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2023 for recognition and/or disclosure.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred because of a decrease in the Company's stock price and a revision in the earnings outlook in comparison to budget. These conditions are primarily due to economic uncertainty and market volatility from the rising interest rate environment. As a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of August 31, 2023, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) to amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing to eliminate Step 2 from the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Application of New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2023 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This guidance is commonly referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"), and the CECL model is based on expected credit losses rather than the model used for periods prior to January 1, 2023, which was based on incurred losses. The allowance for credit losses is established for current expected credit losses on the Company's loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better estimate their credit losses. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, Topic 326 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, requiring credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down for those securities management does not intend to sell or is not likely to be required to sell. 

On January 1, 2023, the Company also adopted ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This guidance was an update to ASU No. 2016-13, and the Company adopted using the modified retrospective transition method. The amendments in this update eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructure ("TDR") loans and enhanced the disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. 

The Company adopted Topic 326 using the modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized in retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326. Results from periods prior to January 1, 2023 are presented using previously applicable U.S. GAAP. The adoption resulted in an increase of $700,000 to our allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), an increase of $1,500,000 to our allowance for unfunded loan commitments, and a net-of-tax cumulative effect adjustment of $1,616,000 to decrease the beginning balance of retained earnings. 

The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's available-for-sale securities. However, any subsequent estimated credit losses are required to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses associated with the applicable securities.

The Company finalized the adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023 as detailed in the following table:

Total					$	2,200

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans – The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans, and accrued interest is reported separately on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and recoveries are credited to the allowance when received. The Company may also account for expected recoveries should information of an anticipated recovery become available. In the case of actual or expected recoveries, amounts may not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off.

Management utilizes relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, historical loss experience, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The lookback period in the analysis includes historical data from 2014 to present. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Management may selectively apply external market data to subjectively adjust the Company’s own loss history including index or peer data. 

Collective Assessment – The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured on a collective cohort basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Generally, collectively assessed loans are grouped first by call report code, then by similar risk characteristics.

The Company has elected to use the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) methodology for all cohorts. The WARM methodology looks at historical quarterly loss rates for each loan cohort over the established “look back” period to determine an average loss rate for each cohort. Each cohort is analyzed to determine the remaining life using amortization schedules, including prepayments.

Historical charge off and recovery activity is compared to loan balances in each cohort quarterly and is averaged to determine an estimated annual charge off rate. The average loss rate over this look-back period is applied annually over the remaining life of the cohort to determine an expected loss percentage.

The Company utilizes reasonable and supportable forecasted losses based on current economic conditions when estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans. Forecasts are based on regression and matrix models that compare national economic indicators to peer charge off rates and local economic indicators to the Company’s charge off rates. The expected loss rate for each cohort is adjusted by the difference between the Bank's historical loss rate and forecasted loss rates. The forecasting models are updated and compared to loss rates quarterly.

The Company recognizes that all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio must be considered to determine the estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date. Furthermore, the methodology, in and of itself and even when selectively adjusted by comparison to market and peer data, does not provide a sufficient basis to determine the estimated credit losses. The Company adjusts the modeled expected losses by qualitative adjustments to incorporate significant risks to form a sufficient basis to estimate the credit losses.

Individual Analysis – Loans considered to have different risk characteristics that do not fall within any cohort will be analyzed individually on a quarterly basis for potential individual reserve requirements.

The Company has elected the collateral-dependent practical expedient for its collateral-dependent loans, where estimated credit losses are based upon the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell if applicable. This practical expedient can be applied to a loan if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. If it is probable that the Company will foreclose on the collateral, the use of the fair value of the collateral to calculate an allowance for credit loss is required. Estimates of future collateral proceeds will be based upon available appraisals, reference to recent valuations of comparable properties, and any other sources of information believed appropriate by management under the specific circumstances. When appraisals are ordered to support the analysis of a collateral-dependent loan, the appraisal is reviewed internally.

Where the primary and/or expected source of repayment of a specific loan is believed to be the receipt of principal and interest payments from the borrower and/or the refinancing of the loan by another creditor, impairment will generally be measured based upon the present value of expected proceeds discounted at the contractual interest rate. Expected refinancing proceeds may be estimated from review of term sheets actually received by the borrower from other creditors and/or from the Company’s knowledge of terms generally available from other banks.

Determining the Contractual Life – Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual life excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications. Prepayment assumptions will be determined by analysis of historical behavior by loan cohort.

Restructured Loans – The allowance for credit losses on loans that are considered modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment. Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are considered modifications if the creditor grants a concession to the debtor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, that it would not otherwise consider. Loan modifications that result in a change in the timing or amount of contractual cash flows include situations where there are interest rate reductions, term extensions, other than insignificant payment delays, and combinations of the listed modifications. In addition, for public business entities, the amendments in the update require that entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. This information must be included in the vintage disclosures, which require an entity to disclose the amortized cost basis of loans by credit-quality indicator and the loan category by year of origination.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments – The Company estimates expected credit losses over the period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is adjusted through a provision for credit losses expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate utilizes the same factors and assumptions as the allowance for credit losses on loans and is applied at the same collective cohort level.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities – For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company will first determine whether it intends to sell the security or will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The security’s amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through other expense if either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. If neither of the aforementioned criteria are met, the Company will determine whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses. If a credit loss exists, the Company will report the portion of impairment related to credit losses in an allowance for credit losses with an offsetting entry to net income. The amount of ACL is limited to the amount fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any portion of estimated credit losses that have not been recorded through an ACL are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020- 04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate such as SOFR. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. The Company evaluated the guidance and identified substitution rates for impacted loans and debt. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021- 01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU No. 2021- 01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. ASU No. 2021- 01 has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Effective April 30, 2022, Eagle completed its previously announced merger with FCB. The acquisition closed after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of FCB shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $38,577,000 and included cash consideration of $10,226,000 and common stock issued of $28,351,000.

This transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

All of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combinations were expensed as incurred. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, consideration paid and the resulting goodwill.

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	23,623
Securities available-for-sale		126,123
Loans receivable		190,894
Premises and equipment		6,393
Cash surrender value of life insurance		8,638
Core deposit intangible		7,004
Other assets		7,687
Total assets acquired	$	370,362
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits	$	321,107
Accrued expenses and other liabilities		1,767
Other borrowings		22,853
Total liabilities assumed	$	345,727
Net assets acquired	$	24,635
Consideration paid:
Cash	$	10,226
Common stock issued (1,396,596 shares)		28,351
Total consideration paid	$	38,577
Goodwill resulting from acquisition	$	13,942

FCB investments were written down an additional $4,559,000 to fair value on the date of acquisition based on market prices obtained from an independent third party.

For acquisitions, the fair value analysis of the loan portfolios resulted in a valuation adjustment for each loan based on an amortization schedule of expected cash flow. Individual amortization schedules were used for each loan over a certain amount and those with specifically identified loss exposure. The remainder of the loans were grouped by type and risk rating into loan pools (based on loan type, fixed or variable interest rate, revolving or term payments and risk rating). Yield inputs for the amortization schedules included contractual interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, liquidity adjustments and market yields. Credit inputs for the amortization schedules included probability of payment default, loss given default rates and individually identified loss exposure.             

The total accretable discount on FCB acquired loans was $5,416,000 as of April 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, accretion of the loan discount was $142,000 and $714,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, accretion of the loan discount was $333,000 and $1,060,000, respectively. The remaining accretable loan discount was $3,405,000 as of September 30, 2023. Three impaired loans were acquired through the FCB acquisition with insignificant balances as of April 30, 2022.

Fair value adjustments recorded for FCB related to premises and equipment were insignificant overall. The Company used independent third-party appraisals in the determination of the fair value of acquired properties.

Core deposit intangible assets of $7,004,000 were recorded for FCB and are being amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related deposits of 10 years from date of acquisition. For acquisitions, the core deposit intangible value is a function of the difference between the cost of the acquired core deposits and the alternative cost of funds. These cash flow streams were discounted to present value. The fair value of other deposit accounts acquired were valued by estimating future cash flows to be received or paid from individual or homogenous groups of assets and liabilities and then discounting those cash flows to a present value using rates of return that were available in financial markets for similar financial instruments on or near the acquisition date.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The Company recorded no acquisition costs related to FCB during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, The Company recorded acquisition costs related to FCB of $103,000 and $2,296,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Acquisition costs included professional fees and data processing expenses incurred related to the acquisition.

Operations of acquired entities have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since date of acquisition. The Company does not consider them as separate reporting segments and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from acquisition date through September 30, 2023.

As of  September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were, respectively, 319 and 388 securities in unrealized loss positions. Based on analysis of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2023, the Company determined the decline in value was unrelated to credit losses and was primarily caused by changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities. The Company is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. As a result, no ACL was recorded on available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2023 and no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded at December 31, 2022. As part of this determination, consideration was given to the extent to which fair value was less than amortized cost, adverse security ratings by a rating agency and other factors.

Prior to the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2023, a loan was considered impaired when the Company determined it was probable that it would be unable to collect all amounts due to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Various factors determined impairment such as the financial condition of the borrower, value of the underlying collateral, and general economic conditions.

The implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changed disclosures related to loans and, as a result, certain disclosures are no longer required. The following tables represent disclosures for the prior period that are no longer required as of January 1, 2023, but are included in this Form 10-Q since the Company is required to disclose comparative information.

During the nine months ended  September 30, 2023, the Company modified two commercial real estate loans. The first loan with an amortized cost basis of $534,000 was modified by consolidating two lines of credit and refinancing into one long term loan for ten years. The second loan with an amortized cost basis of $431,000 was modified by consolidating four loans and refinancing into one short-term, interest only loan for 12 months. There has been no forgiveness of principal for either of the loans, and they are considered current with their modified terms as of September 30, 2023. 

Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2022-02, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, there were no new TDR loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were two new TDR agricultural loans. The recorded investment for the first loan at the time of restructure was $331,000. No charge-offs were incurred and the loan is now on accrual status. The recorded investment at the time of restructure for the second loan was $145,000.

In January 2022, the Company completed the issuance of $40,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes due in 2032 in a private placement transaction to certain institutional accredited investors and qualified buyers. The notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 3.50% payable semi-annually. Starting February 1, 2027, interest will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread of 218.0 basis points, payable quarterly. The notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after February 1, 2027. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. 

In June 2020, the Company completed the issuance of $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes due in 2030 in a private placement transaction to certain qualified institutional accredited investors. The notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 5.50% payable semi-annually. Starting July 1, 2025, interest will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be three-month term SOFR plus a spread of 509.0 basis points, payable quarterly. The notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after July 1, 2025. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. 

In February 2017, the Company completed the issuance, through a private placement, of $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.75% fixed senior unsecured notes due in 2022. The interest was paid semi-annually through maturity date. The notes were not subject to redemption at the option of the Company. The notes were redeemed on February 15, 2022.

In September 2005, the Company completed the private placement of $5,155,000 in subordinated debentures to the Trust. The Trust funded the purchase of the subordinated debentures through the sale of trust preferred securities to First Tennessee Bank, N.A. with a liquidation value of $5,155,000. Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders in December 2005. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities was fixed at 6.02% until December 2010 then became variable at three-month LIBOR plus 1.42% until June 30, 2023, making the rate 6.20% as of  December 31, 2022. In December of 2022, Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopted final rule 12 C.F.R. Part 253, Regulation Implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. Rule 253 identified SOFR-benchmark rates to replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. As a result, the variable rate for interest payable converted to three-month CME Term SOFR plus 1.68% beginning during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The rate was 7.08% as of September 30, 2023. Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years. The preferred securities mature in December 2035 unless the Company elects and obtains regulatory approval to accelerate the maturity date. The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES 

The Company enters into commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans. The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in fair values of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale. An optimal amount of mortgage loans are sold directly into bulk commitments with investors at the time an interest rate is locked, other loans are sold on an individual best efforts basis at the time an interest rate is locked, and the remaining balance of locked loans are hedged using To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities or bulk mandatory forward loan sale commitments.

Derivatives are accounted for as free-standing or economic derivatives and are measured at fair value. Derivatives are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of condition.

Derivatives are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
	Notional		Fair Value				Notional		Fair Value
	Amount		Asset		Liability		Amount		Asset		Liability
	(In Thousands)

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking, net, within noninterest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Net gains of $39,000 and $209,000 were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net gains of $133,000 were recorded for the nine months ended  September 30, 2023 compared to net losses of $282,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Fair Value Measurement and Measurement Inputs, Recurring and Nonrecurring [Text Block]

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are grouped in three levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

■ Level 1 Inputs – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

■ Level 2 Inputs – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

■ Level 3 Inputs – Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that may include significant management judgment and estimation.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy at the reporting date, is set forth below.

Available-for-Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 (nationally recognized securities exchanges) and Level 2 inputs. For level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include but is not limited to dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions.

Loans Held-for-Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on committed sales contracts and commitments of similar loans if not already committed and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Derivative Instruments – The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments, forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments and adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. Interest rate lock commitments are considered Level 3 inputs and forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are considered Level 2 inputs.

Collateral-Dependent Loans – Individually reviewed collateral-dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Collateral-dependent loans are considered Level 3 inputs. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets – Fair values are determined at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and are considered Level 3 inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated periodically for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – The fair value of mortgage servicing rights are estimated using net present value of expected cash flows based on a third party model that incorporates industry assumptions and is adjusted for factors such as prepayment speeds and are considered Level 3 inputs.

The following tables summarize financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value.

Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as impaired loans that are collateral-dependent, real estate and other repossessed assets and mortgage servicing rights.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Organization

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), formerly American Federal Savings Bank (“AFSB”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.

In September 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with First Community Bancorp, Inc. ("FCB"), a Montana corporation, and FCB's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank. The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, FCB would merge with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The merger closed on April 30, 2022. First Community Bank operated nine branches in Ashland, Culbertson, Froid, Glasgow, Helena, Hinsdale, Three Forks and Wolf Point, Montana. 

In March 2021, the Bank established a subsidiary, Opportunity Housing Fund, LLC ("OHF"), to invest in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") projects. The LIHTC program is designed to encourage capital investment in construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. Tax credits are allowable over a 10-year period. Investments in LIHTC projects are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition and totaled $5,769,000 and $1,237,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's remaining capital commitments to these LIHTC projects were $3,068,000 as of September 30, 2023 and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. 

On January 1, 2020, the Company acquired Western Holding Company of Wolf Point, ("WHC"), a Montana corporation, and WHC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point ("WB"), a Montana chartered commercial bank. The acquisition included one branch in Wolf Point, Montana. In addition, Western Financial Services, Inc. ("WFS") was acquired through the WHC merger. WFS facilitates deferred payment contracts for customers that produce agricultural products.  

The Bank currently has 31 full-service branches. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities. The Bank also operated certain branches under the names Dutton State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Denton and The State Bank of Townsend. Effective January 2022, these branches were rebranded and are now only operating as Opportunity Bank of Montana. 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 8, 2023. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended  September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending  December 31, 2022 or any other period. In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, mortgage servicing rights, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, OHF, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and WFS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications 

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2023. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2023 for recognition and/or disclosure.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred because of a decrease in the Company's stock price and a revision in the earnings outlook in comparison to budget. These conditions are primarily due to economic uncertainty and market volatility from the rising interest rate environment. As a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of August 31, 2023, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) to amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing to eliminate Step 2 from the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Application of New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2023 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This guidance is commonly referred to as Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"), and the CECL model is based on expected credit losses rather than the model used for periods prior to January 1, 2023, which was based on incurred losses. The allowance for credit losses is established for current expected credit losses on the Company's loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better estimate their credit losses. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, Topic 326 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, requiring credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down for those securities management does not intend to sell or is not likely to be required to sell. 

On January 1, 2023, the Company also adopted ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This guidance was an update to ASU No. 2016-13, and the Company adopted using the modified retrospective transition method. The amendments in this update eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructure ("TDR") loans and enhanced the disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. 

The Company adopted Topic 326 using the modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized in retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326. Results from periods prior to January 1, 2023 are presented using previously applicable U.S. GAAP. The adoption resulted in an increase of $700,000 to our allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), an increase of $1,500,000 to our allowance for unfunded loan commitments, and a net-of-tax cumulative effect adjustment of $1,616,000 to decrease the beginning balance of retained earnings. 

The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's available-for-sale securities. However, any subsequent estimated credit losses are required to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses associated with the applicable securities.

The Company finalized the adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023 as detailed in the following table:

Total					$	2,200

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans – The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans, and accrued interest is reported separately on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and recoveries are credited to the allowance when received. The Company may also account for expected recoveries should information of an anticipated recovery become available. In the case of actual or expected recoveries, amounts may not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off.

Management utilizes relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, historical loss experience, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The lookback period in the analysis includes historical data from 2014 to present. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Management may selectively apply external market data to subjectively adjust the Company’s own loss history including index or peer data. 

Collective Assessment – The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured on a collective cohort basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Generally, collectively assessed loans are grouped first by call report code, then by similar risk characteristics.

The Company has elected to use the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) methodology for all cohorts. The WARM methodology looks at historical quarterly loss rates for each loan cohort over the established “look back” period to determine an average loss rate for each cohort. Each cohort is analyzed to determine the remaining life using amortization schedules, including prepayments.

Historical charge off and recovery activity is compared to loan balances in each cohort quarterly and is averaged to determine an estimated annual charge off rate. The average loss rate over this look-back period is applied annually over the remaining life of the cohort to determine an expected loss percentage.

The Company utilizes reasonable and supportable forecasted losses based on current economic conditions when estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans. Forecasts are based on regression and matrix models that compare national economic indicators to peer charge off rates and local economic indicators to the Company’s charge off rates. The expected loss rate for each cohort is adjusted by the difference between the Bank's historical loss rate and forecasted loss rates. The forecasting models are updated and compared to loss rates quarterly.

The Company recognizes that all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio must be considered to determine the estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date. Furthermore, the methodology, in and of itself and even when selectively adjusted by comparison to market and peer data, does not provide a sufficient basis to determine the estimated credit losses. The Company adjusts the modeled expected losses by qualitative adjustments to incorporate significant risks to form a sufficient basis to estimate the credit losses.

Individual Analysis – Loans considered to have different risk characteristics that do not fall within any cohort will be analyzed individually on a quarterly basis for potential individual reserve requirements.

The Company has elected the collateral-dependent practical expedient for its collateral-dependent loans, where estimated credit losses are based upon the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell if applicable. This practical expedient can be applied to a loan if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. If it is probable that the Company will foreclose on the collateral, the use of the fair value of the collateral to calculate an allowance for credit loss is required. Estimates of future collateral proceeds will be based upon available appraisals, reference to recent valuations of comparable properties, and any other sources of information believed appropriate by management under the specific circumstances. When appraisals are ordered to support the analysis of a collateral-dependent loan, the appraisal is reviewed internally.

Where the primary and/or expected source of repayment of a specific loan is believed to be the receipt of principal and interest payments from the borrower and/or the refinancing of the loan by another creditor, impairment will generally be measured based upon the present value of expected proceeds discounted at the contractual interest rate. Expected refinancing proceeds may be estimated from review of term sheets actually received by the borrower from other creditors and/or from the Company’s knowledge of terms generally available from other banks.

Determining the Contractual Life – Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual life excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications. Prepayment assumptions will be determined by analysis of historical behavior by loan cohort.

Restructured Loans – The allowance for credit losses on loans that are considered modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment. Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are considered modifications if the creditor grants a concession to the debtor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, that it would not otherwise consider. Loan modifications that result in a change in the timing or amount of contractual cash flows include situations where there are interest rate reductions, term extensions, other than insignificant payment delays, and combinations of the listed modifications. In addition, for public business entities, the amendments in the update require that entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. This information must be included in the vintage disclosures, which require an entity to disclose the amortized cost basis of loans by credit-quality indicator and the loan category by year of origination.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments – The Company estimates expected credit losses over the period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is adjusted through a provision for credit losses expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate utilizes the same factors and assumptions as the allowance for credit losses on loans and is applied at the same collective cohort level.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities – For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company will first determine whether it intends to sell the security or will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The security’s amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through other expense if either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. If neither of the aforementioned criteria are met, the Company will determine whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses. If a credit loss exists, the Company will report the portion of impairment related to credit losses in an allowance for credit losses with an offsetting entry to net income. The amount of ACL is limited to the amount fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any portion of estimated credit losses that have not been recorded through an ACL are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020- 04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate such as SOFR. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. The Company evaluated the guidance and identified substitution rates for impacted loans and debt. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021- 01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU No. 2021- 01 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. ASU No. 2021- 01 has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
