Overview and presentation

FB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, FirstBank (the "Bank") and FirstBank Risk Management, Inc. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank had 81 full-service branches throughout Tennessee, Alabama, southern Kentucky and north Georgia, and a national mortgage business with office locations across the Southeast, which primarily originates loans to be sold in the secondary market.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP interim reporting requirements and general banking industry guidelines, and therefore, do not include all information and notes included in the annual consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

In preparing the 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 financial statements and the reported results of operations for the reporting periods and the related disclosures. Although management's estimates contemplate current conditions and how they are expected to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could vary from those anticipated, which could affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or shareholders’ equity.

Earnings per share

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under the restricted stock units granted but not yet vested and distributable. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus an incremental number of common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method.

Unvested share-based payment awards, which include the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents, are considered to participate with common shareholders in undistributed earnings for purposes of computing EPS. Companies that have such participating securities are required to calculate basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Certain restricted stock awards granted by the Company include non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities. Calculations of EPS under the two-class method (i) exclude from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities and (ii) exclude from the denominator the dilutive impact of the participating securities.

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted earnings per common share calculation for each of the periods presented:

Recently adopted accounting policies:

The Company did not modify or adopt any new accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 that were not disclosed in the Company's 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included on Form 10-K, other than as described below.

As previously disclosed, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company added to the existing accounting policy related to derivative financial instruments and hedging activities as described in Note 1 of the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," as a result of entering into designated fair value hedges during the period. The Company enters into fair value hedge relationships to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate securities and loans. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Recently adopted accounting standards:

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards that were not disclosed in the Company's 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included on Form 10-K.

Newly issued not yet effective accounting standards:

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this update to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, to amend a related illustrative example, and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The ASU becomes effective January 1, 2024 and the Company is evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method", to expand the current single-layer method of electing hedge accounting to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio under the method. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of ASU No. 2022-01 for any entity that has adopted the amendments in ASU No.2017-12 for the corresponding period. Adoption of this update will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Additionally, in March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "'Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" related to troubled debt restructurings and vintage disclosures for financing receivables. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan modifications and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the SEC released SAB 121 to add interpretive guidance for entities to consider when they have obligations to safeguard crypto-assets held for clients. The new guidance requires reporting entities who allow clients to transact in crypto-assets and act as a custodian to record a liability with a corresponding asset regardless of whether they control the crypto-asset. The crypto-asset will need to be marked at fair value for each reporting period. The new guidance requires disclosures in the footnotes to address the amount of crypto-assets reported, and the safeguarding and recordkeeping of the assets. The guidance in this update requires that reporting companies implement SAB 121 no later than the financial statements covering the first interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2022, with retrospective application back to the beginning of the fiscal year. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company became a founding member of the USDF Consortium ("the Consortium"), which plans to utilize blockchain and bank-issued digital dollars technology to streamline peer-to-peer financial transactions. While the Company does not currently hold or facilitate transactions with crypto-assets, the Company is evaluating the potential future financial statement and disclosure impact from adopting this guidance when it becomes applicable based on the Company's crypto-asset activities.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide relief for companies preparing for discontinuation of interest rates based on LIBOR. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 also provides for a onetime sale and/or transfer to AFS or trading to be made for HTM debt securities that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020. ASU 2020-04 was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and through December 31, 2022. Companies can apply the ASU as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. The guidance requires companies to apply the guidance prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships while the one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as HTM may be made any time after March 12, 2020.

Our LIBOR Transition Committee was established to transition from LIBOR to alternative rates and has continued its efforts consistent with industry timelines. As part of these efforts, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we ceased utilization of LIBOR as an index in newly originated loans or loans that are refinanced. Additionally, we identified existing products that utilize LIBOR and are reviewing contractual language to facilitate the transition to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated, for consideration of recognition or disclosure, subsequent events that occurred through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2022, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
