The following reflect recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted or are pending adoption by the Company. As the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting pronouncements, it is not subject to new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies during the extended transition period. The accounting pronouncements pending adoption below reflect effective dates for the Company as an emerging growth company with the extended transition period.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, deferred by ASU No. 2015-14 and clarifying standards, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates Topics 606 and 610 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this ASU clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (1) identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, amending ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU affect only several narrow aspects of Topic 606. In November 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-14, amending ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU amends the codification to incorporate additional previously issued guidance from the SEC. The SEC issued SAB 116 to bring existing SEC staff guidance into conformity with the FASB’s adoption of and amendments to ASC Topic 606.

In general, the new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new authoritative guidance was initially effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2017 but was deferred to January 1, 2018. Given our emerging growth status, the Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2019 using the full retrospective method, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The majority of the Company’s revenue streams, including interest and dividend income, servicing fees, and gains on sales of loans and investments, are outside the scope of Topic 606. Revenue streams reported as fees and service charges on deposits, ATM and interchange fees, and wealth management and trust income are within the scope of Topic 606. The Company applied the requirements of Topic 606 to the revenue streams that are within its scope. The adoption of Topic 606 did not result in any changes in the either timing or amount of recognized; there was no cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as no material changes were identified in the timing of revenue recognition. However, the presentation of certain costs associated with our ATM and debit card income were offset against ATM and interchange income. This change in presentation resulted in $396,000 and $1.1 million of expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, being netted against ATM and interchange fees and reported in non-interest income instead of as other non-interest expense in non-interest expense. In addition, to conform to the current period presentation, $241,000 and $837,000 of related expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, were reclassified from other non-interest expense in non-interest expense to being netted against ATM and interchange fees in non-interest income. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and therefore does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have an original expected term of one year or less and allows the Company to expense costs related to obtaining a contract as incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less.

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the full retrospective approach. The following table presents the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended							For the Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2019							September 30, 2018

Other non-interest expense	$	8,358	$	9,480	$	(1,122	)	$	6,769	$	7,606	$	(837	)

Fees and service charges on deposits:

Fees and service charges on deposits include transaction and non-transaction based deposit fees. Transaction based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer. These fees include such items as wire fees, official check fees, and overdraft fees. These are contracts specific to each individual transaction and do not extend beyond the individual transaction. The performance obligation is completed and the fees are recognized at the time the specific transactional service is provided to the customer. Non-transactional deposit fees are typically monthly account maintenance fees charged on deposit accounts. These are day-to-day contracts that can be cancelled by either party without notice. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis after the service period is completed.

ATM and interchange fees:

ATM fees represent fees earned when a foreign debit or ATM card is used in a Byline Bank ATM. These fees are assessed and paid at the time of each transaction as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is at the point in time that the transaction is performed and approved. Interchange fees represent fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used to purchase goods or services at a merchant. The merchant's bank pays the Bank a default interchange rate set by MasterCard on a transaction by transaction basis. Interchange fees are assessed as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is at the point in time the card transaction is authorized. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the Bank cardholders’ card. Direct expenses associated with ATM and debit cards are recorded as a net reduction against the ATM and interchange income.

Wealth management and trust income:

Wealth management and trust income represents fees earned by the Bank for discretionary investment management, trust administration, fiduciary and/or custody services rendered. Fees vary and are based on a contract with the customer. Fee income is determined as a percentage of assets under management and is recognized over the period the underlying account is serviced. Although some trust appointments can last for generations, most contracts are generally cancellable at any time, with the customer subject to a pro-rated fee in the month of termination.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value under certain circumstances and require enhanced disclosures about those investments. The amendments simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The amendments also eliminate the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The amendments require entities to adjust fair value disclosures for financial instruments to be reflected at an exit price. The amendments in this ASU require separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. This amendment excludes from net income gains or losses that the entity may not realize because those financial liabilities are not usually transferred or settled at their fair values before maturity. The amendments in this ASU require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU resulted in the Company reclassifying $1.4 million from other comprehensive income to retained earnings, representing the unrealized gain, net of tax, on available-for-sale for sale equity securities at the date of adoption. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 require any future changes in fair value of equity securities to be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations which could result in additional volatility in non-interest income. At December 31, 2018, the Company held $6.6 million of available-for-sale equity investment securities, which were previously reported as available-for-sale securities, at fair value, and are now reported as equity and other securities, at fair value.

In addition, the adoption of this ASU resulted in changing how the Company estimates the fair value of portfolio loans and leases for disclosure purposes. Fair values are estimated first by stratifying the portfolios of loans and leases with similar financial characteristics. Loans and leases are segregated by type such as commercial real estate, residential mortgage, construction, land, and development, commercial and industrial, consumer and other. Each loan and lease category is further segmented into fixed- and adjustable-rate interest terms. An estimate of fair value is then calculated based on discounted cash flows using as a discount rate based on the current rate offered on similar products, plus an adjustment for liquidity to reflect the non-homogeneous nature of the loans and leases, as well as a quarterly loss rate based on historical losses to arrive at an estimated exit price fair value. Fair value for impaired loans and leases is also based on recent appraisals or estimated cash flows discounted using rates commensurate with risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company elected to reclassify $94.8 million of securities held-to-maturity to securities available-for-sale, which did not impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in the ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification. (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. (3) the classification of the modified award is an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Given our emerging growth status, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-09 on January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. There is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230 and other Topics. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. Those eight issues are (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. Current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on these eight cash flow classification issues. These amendments provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing current and potential future diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Given the Company’s emerging growth company status, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-15 on January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash. The ASU will require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Given our emerging growth status, the Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2019 in conjunction with ASU No. 2016-15, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations (Topic 805) In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The guidance clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Given our emerging growth status, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-01 on January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments remove the disclosure requirements for the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurement. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements as follows: for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The amendments add the following disclosure requirements: the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted these amendments in 2018, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The amendments in this ASU require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU leave lessor accounting largely unchanged, although certain targeted improvements were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This ASU simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and its impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. In October 2019, FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU for entities not classified as Public Business Entities (PBEs). Our status as an emerging growth company makes us eligible for this deferral. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the proposed guidance will be effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2020, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company expects an increase in assets and liabilities as a result of recognizing additional right-of-use assets and liabilities under lease contracts in which the Company is lessee. While the Company has not quantified the impact of this ASU on its direct financing lease portfolio, it does not expect a material change in its accounting for the initial direct costs related to these leases.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more useful to users of the financial statements. In October 2019, FASB voted to defer the effective date of the ASU for entities not classified as PBEs. Once issued, the Company intends to exercise the extension applicable to emerging growth companies. The Company is in process of implementation and determining the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium at the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, the Company amortizes the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. As a result, upon exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is charged to earnings. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. However, the amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is required to apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Assuming the Company remains an emerging growth company, the new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-08 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
