NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 ("Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K").

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q.  Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2019 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K. 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

Peoples Risk Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples, was formed on August 22, 2019, and is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of Peoples and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among all participants. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. is subject to the regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following accounting pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples early adopted this new accounting guidance as of January 1, 2019, and it will be incorporated in the October 1, 2019 annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment analysis, but it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. Under the CECL model, Peoples will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held-for-investment and held-to-maturity investment securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2018-19 clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, and should be accounted for according to Topic 842.

The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the "incurred loss" model required under current US GAAP, which delays recognition until it is

8

probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, Peoples expects that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how the allowance for credit losses is determined and could require increases to the allowance for credit losses. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of Peoples' allowance for credit losses and credit loss expense. If required to materially increase the level of allowance for credit losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect Peoples' business, financial condition and results of operations.

The CECL standard will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples has a committee that meets regularly to monitor progress and oversee the project. Peoples has implemented a third-party software solution, and is utilizing the tool to run test calculations throughout 2019 in anticipation of the full implementation at the beginning of 2020. Peoples has engaged consultants to assist with the completion of certain aspects of the project plan. Peoples will complete model validation during 2019, and is currently refining the economic forecasting process, documenting accounting policies, reviewing business processes, evaluating potential changes to the control environment and critically reviewing model output. Peoples completed a test run of its process, inclusive of the model, at the end of the third quarter of 2019.

Based on current forecasted economic conditions and portfolio balances, Peoples estimates that the impact to the allowance for credit losses for certain portions of the implementation will result in an increase of approximately 25% to 35% of the September 30, 2019 allowance for loan losses balance. This estimate includes the potential impact of modeled results for outstanding loans, impaired loans that are individually evaluated, qualitative factors and investment securities. Approximately two-thirds of the estimated increase is being driven by the establishment of an allowance for credit losses for acquired performing loans, which currently have a small allowance for loan losses. The remainder of the increase is being driven by the duration of longer term consumer loans. This estimate excludes the impact of the unfunded commitment liability and the increase in the allowance for credit losses related to purchased credit deteriorated loans. The impact of these items will be evaluated during the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimates provided are subject to change based upon many factors, including:

•uncertainty around the economic conditions that will exist at implementation;

•the composition, balance and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio at implementation;

• changes to the modeling process based upon results of model validation and further process development and refinement; and

• continued execution of the governance framework and review process.

Peoples expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses, and related tax effect, as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance issued at the end of 2016. The cumulative-effect adjustment will be based on the change in the allowance for credit losses for modeled results for outstanding loans, impaired loans that are individually evaluated, qualitative factors, investment securities and the unfunded commitment liability. The impact of the implementation for purchased credit deteriorated loans will be contemplated separately from the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment. Based on the uncertainties around factors that may be present at implementation date, Peoples is in the process of determining the magnitude of any such one-time cumulative-effect adjustment or of the overall impact of the new standard on Peoples' financial condition and results of operations. There is a three-year phase-in option for regulatory capital effects of the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment, however, Peoples does not currently anticipate opting for the phase-in based upon preliminary projections, but could change its position once closer to implementation.

Note 2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10‑K.

9

Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities:The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Equity Investment Securities:The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Derivative Assets and Liabilities: Derivative assets and liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. The fair value for derivative instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for each class of assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when the amounts to be received are less than the carrying value of the loans. One of the allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment is estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices or the market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 3), less estimated selling costs. At September 30, 2019, impaired loans with an aggregate principal balance of $38.6 million were outstanding and reported at fair value of $28.3 million.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recognized a reduction of $81,000 and an increase of $516,000 in the specific reserve on impaired loans, through the allowance for loan losses.

Other Real Estate Owned: OREO, included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).

Financial Instruments Not Required to be Measured or Reported at Fair Value

The following table provides the carrying amount for each class of assets and liabilities and the fair value for certain financial instruments that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-fixed-maturity deposits, and overnight borrowings.  Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and due from banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value. (Level 1).

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities:The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Other Investment Securities: Other investment securities are measured at their respective redemption values due to restrictions placed on their transferability (Level 2).

Net Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity.  Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans (Level 3). Fair values for loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loan and other market factors, including liquidity.

Loans Held for Sale:Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally 1-4 family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The use of a valuation model using quoted prices of similar instruments are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).

Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 3). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

Servicing Rights: The fair value of the servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates (Level 3).

Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2).

Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  These financial assets and liabilities include the following: customer relationships, the deposit base, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value that are not included in the above information.  Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

The unrealized losses related to residential mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were attributed to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

The gross gains and gross losses realized by Peoples from sales of available-for-sale securities for the periods ended September 30 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.  At September 30, 2019, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

At September 30, 2019, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or two positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Both of these positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book value, with an aggregate book and fair value of $208,000 and $146,000, respectively. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans underlying these securities.

The unrealized losses with respect to the two bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at September 30, 2019 were primarily attributable to the subordinated nature of the debt.

Other Investment Securities

Peoples' other investment securities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet consist largely of shares of FHLB of Cincinnati and FRB of Cleveland stock, and other equity investment securities.

The following table summarizes the carrying value of Peoples' other investment securities:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Other investment securities	365		60
Total other investment securities	$	43,045	$	42,985

Peoples redeemed FHLB stock in order to be in compliance with the requirements of the FHLB of Cincinnati, which totaled $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2019, $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2019, and $1.8 million during the first quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, Peoples acquired $2.8 million FHLB stock from the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at September 30, 2019 in other non-interest income, resulting in unrealized gains of $19,000 and

$42,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at September 30, 2018 in other non-interest income, resulting in an unrealized loss of $16,000 and an unrealized gain of $621,000, respectively. Net realized gains on sales of equity investment securities, included in other non-interest income during the first nine months of 2019, consisted of a realized gain of $787,000 related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock, which had been held at a carrying cost and fair value of zero due to the litigation liability associated with the stock.

At September 30, 2019, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.

Pledged Securities

Peoples had pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities to secure public and trust department deposits, and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements.  Peoples also pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity securities to secure additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the FRB.

Note 4 Loans

Peoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and central and eastern Kentucky. Acquired loans consist of loans purchased in 2012 or thereafter. Loans that were acquired and subsequently re-underwritten are reported as originated upon execution of such credit actions (for example, renewals and increases in lines of credit). The major classifications of loan balances (in each case, net of deferred fees and costs) excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

Peoples has acquired various loans through business combinations for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amounts of these purchased credit impaired loans included in the loan balances above are summarized as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commercial real estate	$	9,063	$	11,955

The fair value of newly acquired loans is determined at the time of acquisition and Peoples completes annual re-estimations of cash flows on acquired purchased credit impaired loans in August of each year. At the end of each quarter, Peoples evaluates factors to determine if a material change has occurred in acquired purchased credit impaired loans, and if a re-estimation is needed. Factors evaluated to determine if a re-estimation is needed include changes in: risk ratings, maturity dates, charge-offs, payoffs, nonaccrual status, loans that have become past due and actual cash flows compared to the projected cash flows from the last re-estimation. Peoples evaluates these changes quarterly and compares the current status or activity to those at the previous cash flow re-estimation date, and the related materiality of the changes. As of September 30, 2019, these changes, when compared to the total loan portfolio and the factors at the last re-estimation date, would not have a material impact on amounts recorded since the last re-estimation. Peoples completed a re-estimation of cash flows on purchased credit impaired loans in August 2019, resulting in a reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable yield as shown in the table above.

Cash flows expected to be collected on purchased credit impaired loans are estimated by incorporating several key assumptions, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income and possibly the principal expected to be collected. In re-forecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.

Pledged Loans

Peoples pledges certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati. The amount of loans pledged under this blanket collateral agreement totaled $485.8 million and $505.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Peoples also pledges commercial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB of Cleveland. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled $171.7 million and $180.9 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing were as follows:

Delinquency trends remained stable, as 99.0% of Peoples' portfolio was considered “current” at September 30, 2019, compared to 98.5% at December 31, 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of

22

current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of the loan as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8):Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being “not rated.”

The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed:

In the first nine months of 2019, Peoples' classified loans, which are loans categorized as substandard or doubtful, increased compared to the balances at December 31, 2018 mostly due to downgrades during the period combined with loans acquired in the First Prestonsburg merger, which were partially offset by paydowns on classified loans. At September 30, 2019, criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, declined compared to the balance at December 31, 2018, largely due to the upgrade of two commercial relationships, partially offset by loans acquired in the First Prestonsburg merger.

At September 30, 2019, Peoples had a total of $1.9 million of loans secured by residential real estate mortgages that were in the process of foreclosure.

Peoples' impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs").

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

Peoples considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by Peoples include the borrower's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to the unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by Peoples generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the loan, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk, (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

Allowance for Originated Loan Losses

Changes in the allowance for originated loan losses for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:

The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate recorded during the first nine months of 2019 was driven by an increase in the allowance needed for loans individually evaluated for impairment combined with loan growth. The decline in the allowance for loan losses allocated to residential real estate recorded during the first nine months of 2019 was driven by a decrease in the allowance needed for loans individually evaluated for impairment which was offset partially by loan growth. The changes in the commercial and industrial, consumer indirect and consumer direct categories of the allowance for originated loan losses and the related provision for originated loan losses recorded during the nine months of 2019 were driven by net charge-off activity and increases in the size of the respective loan portfolios.

Allowance for Loan Losses for Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date with no valuation allowance, and monitored for changes in credit quality and subsequent increases or decreases in expected cash flows. Decreases in expected cash flows of acquired purchased credit impaired loans are recognized as an impairment, with the amount of the expected loss included in management's evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. The methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for non-impaired acquired loans are similar to those utilized for originated loans; however, Peoples records a provision for loan losses only when the computed allowance exceeds the remaining fair value adjustment.

The following table presents activity in the allowance for loan losses for acquired loans:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

Note 5 Long-Term Borrowings

The following table summarizes Peoples' long-term borrowings:

	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		Weighted- Average Rate		Balance		Weighted- Average Rate
FHLB putable, non-amortizing, fixed-rate advances	$	65,000	2.18	%	$	85,000	2.05	%
FHLB amortizing, fixed-rate advances	11,785		1.77	%	17,361		2.09	%
Junior subordinated debt securities	7,409		7.29	%	7,283		7.83	%
Total long-term borrowings	$	84,194	2.57	%	$	109,644	2.44	%

Peoples continually evaluates its overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment. During the first nine months of 2019, no additional borrowings were entered into, and three long-term FHLB non-amortizing advances totaling $25.0 million were reclassified to short-term borrowings as the maturity became less than one year.

As of September 30, 2019, Peoples had one remaining FHLB putable option-based advance. The FHLB has the option, at its sole discretion, to terminate the advance after the initial fixed rate period of three months, requiring full repayment of the advance by Peoples prior to the stated maturity. If the advance is terminated prior to maturity, the FHLB will offer Peoples replacement funding at the then-prevailing rate on an advance product then offered by the FHLB, subject to normal FHLB credit and collateral requirements. Peoples is required to make quarterly interest payments.

The amortizing, fixed-rate FHLB advances have a fixed rate for the term of each advance, with remaining maturities ranging from seven to twelve years. These advances require monthly principal and interest payments, with some having a constant prepayment rate requiring an additional principal payment annually. These advances are not eligible for optional prepayment prior to maturity.

30

The aggregate minimum annual retirements of long-term borrowings in future periods are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		Weighted-Average Rate
Three months ending December 31, 2019	$	1,071	1.87	%
Year ending December 31, 2020	2,555		1.35	%
Year ending December 31, 2021	21,979		1.74	%
Year ending December 31, 2022	16,521		1.95	%
Year ending December 31, 2023	1,157		1.08	%
Thereafter	40,911		3.40	%
Total long-term borrowings	$	84,194	2.57	%

Effective April 3, 2019, Peoples terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016, between Peoples, as Borrower, and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as Lender (the "RJB Credit Agreement"), with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million. As of the termination date, April 3, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding under the RJB Credit Agreement. Additional information regarding the RJB Credit Agreement can be found in "Note 9 Long-Term Borrowings" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K.

Peoples replaced the RBJ Credit Agreement with a short-term revolving line of credit. On April 3, 2019, Peoples entered into a Loan Agreement (the “U.S. Bank Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association. The U.S. Bank Loan Agreement has a one-year term and provides Peoples with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million that may be used: (i) for working capital purposes; (ii) to finance dividends or other distributions (other than stock dividends and stock splits) on or in respect of Peoples’ capital stock and redemptions, repurchases or other acquisitions of any of Peoples’ capital stock permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement and (iii) to finance acquisitions permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement.

Note 7 Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010.  The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.  For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee.  For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants.  Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Effective July 1, 2013, a participant in the pension plan who is employed by Peoples may elect to receive or to commence receiving such person's retirement benefits as of the later of such person's normal retirement date or the first day of the month first following the date such person makes an election to receive his or her retirement benefits.

Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples only pays 100% of the cost for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of the health benefits.  Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they arise.

The following tables detail the components of the net periodic cost for the plans described above:

	Pension Benefits

Amortization of net gain	(2		)	(1		)	(4		)	(4		)
Net periodic income	$	(1	)	$	(1	)	$	(2	)	$	(2	)

Under US GAAP, Peoples is required to recognize a settlement gain or loss when the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants equals or exceeds the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension cost. The amount of settlement gain or loss recognized is the pro rata amount of the unrealized gain or loss existing immediately prior to the settlement. In general, both the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets are required to be remeasured in order to determine the settlement gain or loss.

Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments

Peoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities, and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2019, Peoples had entered into sixteen interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month FHLB advances or rolling three-month brokered certificates of deposit, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the swaps. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate assets or liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples had reclassifications of gains to interest expense of $30,000 and $183,000, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Peoples had reclassifications of gains to interest expense of $2,000 and $18,000, respectively.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of each derivative is reported in AOCI (outside of earnings), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. The reset dates and the payment dates on the 90-day advances or brokered certificates of deposit used to fund the swaps are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the 3-month LIBOR floating portion of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. Effectiveness is measured by ensuring that reset dates and payment dates are matched.

The following table summarizes information about the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018

Peoples had $21.2 million and no amount of cash pledged at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against interest rate swaps related to debt; however, the counterparties had pledged no amount of cash and $130,000, respectively, at those dates.

Non-Designated Hedges

Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples originates variable rate loans with interest rate swaps, where the customer enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank offsets its exposure in the swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative. Peoples had interest rate swaps associated with commercial loans with a gross notional value of $590.0 million and fair value of $14.2 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019, and a gross notional value of $453.4 million and fair value of $2.5 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operation or financial condition.

Note 10 Stock-Based Compensation 

Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common stock awards, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 891,340.  The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 500,000 common shares. Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans.  Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. Additionally, in 2018 and 2019, the Board of Directors granted unrestricted common shares to non-employee directors and to full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available.  If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

Restricted Common Shares

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.  Since 2018, common shares awarded to non-employee directors have vested immediately upon grant with no restrictions. Restrictions on restricted common shares awarded to employees typically expire after periods ranging from one to three years. In the first nine months of 2019, Peoples granted an aggregate of 117,773 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date. During the first nine months of 2019, Peoples granted, to certain key employees, an aggregate of 16,153 restricted common shares subject to time-based vesting with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date.

The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

	Time-Based Vesting			Performance-Based Vesting
	Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1	43,679	$	29.64	175,772	$	31.08
Awarded	16,153	31.35		117,773	32.20
Released	22,750	24.70		33,400	17.86
Forfeited	4,852	35.87		5,388	33.17
Outstanding at September 30	32,230	$	33.05	254,757	$	33.29

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the total intrinsic value for restricted common shares released was $1.8 million compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Performance Unit Awards

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may grant performance unit awards to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.  On July 26, 2017, Peoples granted a total of seven performance unit awards to individuals who were then serving as officers, with a maximum aggregate dollar amount of $1.3 million represented by the performance units subject to such awards and each performance unit representing $1.00. As of September 30, 2019, one of seven performance unit awards had been forfeited as one of the individuals granted a performance unit award left Peoples before meeting the minimum service requirement to retain the performance unit award. The performance unit awards granted cover the performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2019, and are subject to two performance goals. Twenty-five percent of the performance units subject to each award will vest if, but only if, the related company-specific target performance goal is achieved. The remaining 75% of the performance units subject to each award will vest based on the relative performance of Peoples compared to a defined peer group (measured by percentile ranking) with respect to the related maximum performance goal. If, for the performance period, the target level of achievement for the first performance goal and/or the maximum level of achievement for the second performance goal is not reached, the dollar amount represented by the performance units associated with each performance goal will be adjusted to reflect the level of performance achieved. After the vesting date, the participant will receive that number of common shares of Peoples equal to (i) the aggregate number of

35

the participant's performance units (and equivalent dollar value of such performance units) that vested based on the performance achieved under both performance goals (ii) divided by the fair market value of a common share of Peoples on the date the performance units are deemed to have vested (which will be the last day of the performance period) and rounded down to the nearest whole common share.

Stock-Based Compensation

Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs, for restricted common shares and performance unit awards, as well as purchases made by participants in the employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date, for the portion of awards that is expected to vest over the vesting period. For performance unit awards, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation over the performance period, based on the portion of the awards that is expected to vest based on the expected level of achievement of the two performance goals. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of up to 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	950		$	579		$	3,088		$	2,089
Recognized tax benefit	(199		)	(122		)	(648		)	(439		)
Net expense recognized	$	751		$	457		$	2,440		$	1,650

Restricted common shares were the primary form of stock-based compensation awards granted by Peoples in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The fair value of restricted common share awards on the grant date is the market price of Peoples' common shares. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted common share awards was $3.3 million at September 30, 2019, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. On February 14, 2018, an aggregate of 11,112 unrestricted common shares were granted as a one-time special award to all full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the 2006 Equity Plan, with a related stock-based compensation expense of $388,000 being recognized. On June 3, 2019, an aggregate of 880 unrestricted common shares were granted as a one-time special award to all full-time and part-time First Prestonsburg employees, with a related stock-based compensation expense of $27,000 being recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recorded $46,000 and $96,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation associated with the performance unit awards and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 recorded $62,000 and $188,000, respectively. Additionally, Peoples recognized $16,000 and $48,000 of stock-based compensation associated with the employee stock purchase plan, based on purchases by employees thereunder, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $15,000 and $44,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Unrestricted common shares awarded to non-employee directors are included as a component of Peoples' other non-interest expense. On January 31, 2019, Peoples granted to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,200 unrestricted common shares, which resulted in an additional $102,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized. On January 31, 2018, Peoples granted, to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,600 unrestricted common shares, which resulted in an additional $128,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized.

Peoples records contract assets for income that has been recognized over a period of time for fulfillment of performance obligations, but has not yet been received related to electronic banking income. This income typically relates to bonuses for which Peoples is eligible, but will not receive until a certain time in the future. Peoples records contract liabilities for payments received for commission income related to the sale of insurance policies, for which the performance obligations have not yet been fulfilled. The contract liabilities are recognized as income over time, during the period in which the performance obligations are fulfilled, which is over the insurance policy period. Peoples also records contract liabilities for bonuses received related to electronic banking income, for which income is recognized during the period in which the performance obligations are fulfilled.

Note 12 Acquisitions

On April 12, 2019, Peoples completed the merger with First Prestonsburg Bancshares Inc. ("First Prestonsburg"). First Prestonsburg merged into Peoples and First Prestonsburg's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Commonwealth Bank of Prestonsburg, Inc. ("First Commonwealth"), which operates nine full-service branches located in eastern and central Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. Consideration of $32.4 million was paid by Peoples in the form of 12.512 Peoples common shares to shareholders of First Prestonsburg for each share of First Prestonsburg common stock they owned, which resulted in the issuance of 1,005,478 Peoples common shares. In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the merger, First Prestonsburg paid a special cash distribution of $140.30 per share (for an aggregate amount of $11.3 million) which was deemed part of the total consideration to its shareholders. As a result, First Prestonsburg shareholders received total consideration of $43.7 million.

Note 13 Leases

Peoples leases certain banking facilities and equipment under various agreements with original terms providing for fixed monthly payments over periods generally ranging from two to thirty years.  Certain leases contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease.  Short-term leases of certain facilities and equipment, with lease terms of 12 months or less, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At September 30, 2019, Peoples did not have any finance leases or any significant lessor agreements.

Peoples elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842. Peoples elected to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019 for the implementation of ASU 2016-02. Peoples also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.

The table below details Peoples' lease expense, which is included in net occupancy and equipment expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income:

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements.  Although management believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of management’s knowledge of Peoples’ business and operations, it is possible that actual results may differ materially from these projections.  Additionally, Peoples undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the filing date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as may be required by applicable legal requirements.  Copies of documents filed with the SEC are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and/or from Peoples' website – www.peoplesbancorp.com under the “Investor Relations” section.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and Notes thereto, contained in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K, as well as the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, ratios, statistics and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

The following discussion and analysis of Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial condition and results of operations.

Peoples offers diversified financial products and services through 89 locations, including 79 full-service bank branches, and 86 Automated Teller Machines ("ATMs") in northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and central and eastern Kentucky through its financial service units – Peoples Bank and Peoples Insurance Agency, LLC ("Peoples Insurance"), a subsidiary of Peoples Bank.  Peoples Bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (the "ODFI"), the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") of Cleveland and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Peoples Bank is must also follow the regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") which regulates consumer financial products and services and certain financial services providers. Peoples Insurance is subject to regulation by the Ohio Department of Insurance and the state insurance regulatory agencies of those states in which Peoples Insurance may do business.

Peoples’ products and services include traditional banking products, such as deposit accounts, lending products and trust services.  Peoples provides services through traditional offices, ATMs, mobile banking and telephone and internet-based banking.  Peoples also offers a complete array of insurance products and makes available custom-tailored fiduciary, employee benefit plan and asset management services.  Brokerage services are offered by Peoples exclusively through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer located at Peoples Bank's offices.

46

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry.  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.  Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to understanding Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis at September 30, 2019, which were unchanged from the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K.

 Summary of Recent Transactions and Events

The following is a summary of recent transactions and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition: 

◦ During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples repurchased 14,175 of its common shares through its share repurchase program for a total of $431,000.

◦ On August 22, 2019, Peoples Risk Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples, was formed. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of Peoples and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among all participants. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. is subject to the regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance.

◦ During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples incurred $189,000 of acquisition-related costs, compared to $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, and $674,000 in the third quarter of 2018. During the first nine months of 2019, Peoples incurred $7.5 million of acquisition-related costs, compared to $7.1 million during the first nine months of 2018. The acquisition-related costs in 2019 and 2018 were primarily related to the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, respectively, and were primarily related to fees associated with early termination of contracts, severance costs and write-offs associated with assets acquired.

◦ During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples entered into $10.0 million of interest rate swaps, with a notional value in the aggregate of $10.0 million, which became effective immediately and will mature in 2029, with an interest rate of 1.44%. During the second quarter of 2019, Peoples entered into $30.0 million of interest rate swaps, with a notional value in the aggregate of $30.0 million, which became effective immediately and will mature between 2023 and 2026, with interest rates ranging from 1.89% to 1.91%. For additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps, refer to "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

◦ During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples reported that it will be closing one full-service bank branch located in Kentucky and one full-service bank branch located in West Virginia. During the second quarter of 2019, Peoples closed one full-service bank branch located in West Virginia when the lease expired in June 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, Peoples closed one insurance office located in Ohio when the lease for the location expired at the end of January 2019 and one full-service bank branch located in West Virginia when the lease for the location expired in March 2019. Most employees at the closed locations were relocated to other branches or offices.

◦ On April 22, 2019, Peoples Bank signed an agreement to open a Federal Funds liquidity facility with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, which either party may cancel at any time. The $20.0 million line increases Peoples Bank's contingent liquidity funding and will serve to help manage Peoples Bank's daily liquidity needs. As of September 30, 2019, Peoples Bank had not borrowed under the agreement.

◦ On April 12, 2019, Peoples completed the previously-announced merger with First Prestonsburg. First Prestonsburg merged into Peoples and First Prestonsburg's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Commonwealth Bank of Prestonsburg, Inc., which operated nine full-service bank branches in central and eastern Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. First Prestonsburg shareholders received total consideration of $43.7 million in the merger, of which $11.3 million was in the form of a special cash dividend paid by First Prestonsburg to shareholders of First Prestonsburg prior to the merger with the remainder being paid in the form of an aggregate of 1,005,478 Peoples common shares by Peoples. The merger added $129.4 million of total loans and $257.2 million of total deposits at the acquisition date, after preliminary fair value adjustments. Peoples also recorded $4.2 million of other intangible assets and $15.2 million of goodwill. These amounts reflect information available through the date of the filing of this Quarterly

47

Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to "Note 12 Acquisitions" of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

◦ On April 3, 2019, Peoples entered into a Loan Agreement (the “U.S. Bank Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association. The U.S. Bank Loan Agreement has a one-year term and provides Peoples with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million that may be used: (i) for working capital purposes; (ii) to finance dividends or other distributions (other than stock dividends and stock splits) on or in respect of Peoples’ capital stock and redemptions, repurchases or other acquisitions of any of Peoples’ capital stock permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement and (iii) to finance acquisitions permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement.

◦ Effective April 3, 2019, Peoples terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016 between Peoples, as Borrower, and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as Lender (the "RJB Credit Agreement"), which provided for a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million.

◦ During the first quarter of 2019, Peoples recognized a $1.8 million recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan.

◦ During the first quarter of 2019, Peoples sold its restricted Class B Visa stock, which had been held at a carrying cost and fair value of zero due to the litigation liability associated with the stock, resulting in a gain of $787,000 recorded in other non-interest income.

◦ Multiple items impacted Peoples' income tax expense during 2018, primarily as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered the statutory federal corporate income tax rate to 21% as of January 1, 2018, from a previous rate of 35%. There were no similar items in 2019.

▪ Beginning on January 1, 2018, Peoples began recognizing income tax expense at the 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate.

▪ During the fourth quarter of 2018, Peoples finalized the remeasurement of its net deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21%, which resulted in a reduction to income tax expense of $705,000 in 2018. The final adjustment was mainly due to Peoples' contribution of $3.2 million to Peoples' defined benefit pension plan during 2018.

▪ During 2018, Peoples released a valuation allowance, which reduced income tax expense by $0.8 million. The valuation allowance was related to a historical tax credit that Peoples had invested in during 2015. Peoples sold $6.7 million of equity investment securities in the second quarter of 2018, which resulted in a capital gain for tax purposes. This capital gain was large enough to offset an anticipated future capital loss, which is expected to be recognized due to the structure of the historical tax credit investment, resulting in the release of the valuation allowance.

◦ Peoples incurred $176,000 and $91,000 in pension settlement costs during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively, due to the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants in Peoples' defined benefit pension plan exceeding the threshold for recognizing such charges during the period. There were no such costs during the first, second or third quarters of 2019 or the first or second quarters of 2018.

◦ On July 31, 2018, Peoples entered into $50.0 million of interest rate swaps, which became effective immediately and will mature between 2021 and 2028, with interest rates ranging from 2.92% to 3.00%. Additionally, the three interest rate swaps acquired with the ASB acquisition matured in July of 2018. These swaps locked in funding rates for $40.0 million, in notional value, in FHLB advances that matured in 2018, which had interest rates ranging from 3.57% to 3.92%. For additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps, refer to "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

◦ At the close of business on April 13, 2018, Peoples completed the merger with ASB. ASB merged into Peoples, and ASB's wholly-owned subsidiary, American Savings Bank, fsb, which operated seven full-service bank branches and two loan production offices in southern Ohio and eastern Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Peoples paid total consideration of $41.5 million. The merger added $239.2 million of total loans and loans held for sale in the aggregate, and $198.6 million of total deposits at the acquisition date, after acquisition accounting adjustments. Peoples also recorded $2.6 million of other intangible assets and $18.1 million of goodwill.

◦ On January 1, 2018, Peoples adopted ASU 2016-01, resulting in the reclassification of $7.8 million of equity investment securities from available-for-sale investment securities to other investment securities and the

48

reclassification of $5.0 million in net unrealized gains on equity investment securities from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings.

◦ The Federal Reserve Board began raising interest rates in December 2015 when the Federal Funds effective target range was 0.00% to 0.25%. The last increase was in December 2018, resulting in a target range of 2.25% to 2.50%. The Federal Reserve Board lowered interest rates once in July 2019 and again in September 2019, resulting in a Federal Funds Target Rate of 1.75% to 2.00% by the end of the third quarter. The Federal Funds futures market suggests the Federal Reserve Board will cut interest rates again before the end of 2019. The impact of trade tariffs, coupled with recent weakness in the manufacturing sector, have given rise to concerns of a slowdown of the US economy, which could potentially lead to additional interest rate cuts in 2020.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Peoples recorded net income of $14.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.72, compared to $9.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2019, and $12.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018. Acquisition-related costs negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.01 per share during the third quarter of 2019, and $0.28 per share during the second quarter of 2019. During the third quarter of 2018, earnings per diluted common share were negatively impacted by $0.03 per share in acquisition-related costs and $0.01 per share for pension settlement charges.

During the first nine months of 2019, net income was $38.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, compared to $32.4 million, or $1.69 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2018. The increased earnings were primarily due to increases in net interest income, deposit account service charges, and electronic banking income, which were partially offset by increased salaries and employee benefit costs, and other non-interest expenses, which were impacted by the First Prestonsburg acquisition in 2019 and the ASB acquisition in 2018. Acquisition-related costs negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.29 during the first nine months of 2019, and $0.28 per share during the first nine months of 2018. Earnings per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2018 were also negatively impacted by $0.01 per share for pension settlement charges, which was offset by an additional $0.04 per share provided by the release of a tax valuation allowance.

Net interest income was $35.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, down 1% compared to $36.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, and an increase of 7% compared to $33.3 million for the third quarter of 2018. Net interest margin was 3.66% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 3.77% for the second quarter of 2019, and 3.68% for the third quarter of 2018. The decline in net interest income and net interest margin compared to the linked quarter was driven by lower yields on loans, combined with slightly higher deposit costs. The increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2018, which was impacted by the acquired First Prestonsburg loans and deposits, was driven by higher yields on loans, combined with higher loan balances, partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $1.2 million for the third and second quarters of 2019, and $612,000 for the third quarter of 2018, which added 12 basis points, 13 basis points, and 7 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increase in net accretion income compared to the third quarter of 2018 was due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

For the first nine months of 2019, net interest income was $105.7 million, and net interest margin was 3.74%, compared to $95.5 million and 3.69%, respectively, for the same period in 2018. The increases were driven by higher interest income on loans due to a combination of loan growth, which was primarily the result of the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, and higher yields from interest rate increases. Interest income on loans outpaced interest expense from deposits, which increased primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits, combined with additional interest expense related to the recent acquisitions. The first nine months of 2018 benefited from proceeds of $588,000 received on an investment security that had been previously written down due to other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), which added 2 basis points to net interest margin. Peoples recorded no similar proceeds during the first nine months of 2019.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2019 and $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2018, which added 11 basis points and 7 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The growth in net accretion income compared to the first nine months of 2018 was largely due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition and, to a lesser extent, the ASB acquisition.

During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.0 million, compared to $626,000 for the second quarter of 2019 and $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were $777,000, or 0.11% of average total loans, compared to $208,000, or 0.03% of average total loans, for the linked quarter and $687,000, or 0.10% of average total loans, for the third quarter of 2018. The provision for loan losses during the current quarter was driven by higher net charge-offs and originated loan growth. The provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2019 was $1.4 million, compared to $4.5 million for the first nine months of 2018. Net recoveries for the first nine months of 2019 were $22,000, compared to net charge-offs of $3.4 million, or 0.18% of average total loans, for the first nine months of 2018. The first nine months of 2019 included a $1.8 million recovery recorded on a previously charged-off commercial loan. The first nine months of 2018 included a charge-off of $827,000 on an acquired commercial loan relationship.

For the third quarter of 2019, total non-interest income was up $1.1 million, or 7%, compared to the second quarter of 2019 and was up $2.0 million, or 14%, from the third quarter of 2018. Compared to the second quarter of 2019, electronic banking income was up $310,000, or 9%, income from deposit account service charges increased $256,000, or 9%, commercial loan swap fee income was up $256,000, or 50%, and mortgage banking income increased $204,000, or 20%. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $196,000, or 6%, in trust and investment income, and a decline of $100,000, or 3%, in insurance income. The increase in total non-interest income from the third quarter of 2018 was driven by increases in all non-interest income categories, with the exception of bank owned life insurance and insurance income, which had slight decreases.

For the first nine months of 2019, total non-interest income grew 11%, as most categories of non-interest income increased, including income from deposit account service charges, which was up $1.4 million, or 19%, and electronic banking income, which increased $1.4 million, or 16%. Commercial loan swap fee income more than doubled and mortgage banking income increased $612,000, or 26%. Realized and unrealized gains on equity investment securities increased $620,000 compared to the first nine months of 2018, driven by $787,000 of income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock during the first quarter of 2019.

Total non-interest expense decreased $5.9 million, or 15%, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2019 and grew $2.2 million, or 7%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decline compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses, which totaled $199,000 for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. The growth in total non-interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2018 was led by higher salaries and employee benefit costs and electronic banking expenses, partially offset by a decline in FDIC insurance expense. Base salaries, stock-based compensation, and medical insurance were the main contributors to the increase in salaries and employee benefit costs compared to the third quarter of 2018. Base salaries were impacted by merit increases, which included the continued movement towards a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company, and the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions. The $15 per hour minimum wage began being phased in during 2018 and will be largely implemented by January 1, 2020. The increase in stock-based compensation was driven by higher expense related to stock grants made to retirement eligible grantees combined with Peoples' improved performance during recent years. The increase in medical insurance was driven by higher medical claims.

During the first nine months of 2019, total non-interest expense increased 9% compared to the same period in 2018. This increase was led by higher salaries and employee benefit costs, partially offset by a decline in professional fees. Salaries and employee benefit costs were up primarily due to higher base salaries, medical insurance and stock-based compensation. Base salaries were impacted by merit increases, which included the continued movement towards a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company, and the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions. The increase in medical insurance was driven by higher medical claims. Stock-based compensation increased as a result of higher expense related to stock grants made to retirement eligible grantees combined with Peoples' improved performance during recent years. Professional fees declined compared to the first nine months of 2018, mostly due to consulting work performed during the first nine months of 2018 which was not repeated in 2019. Net occupancy and equipment expenses also increased compared to the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to the added facilities obtained in the acquisitions. Peoples also made investments in technology, which resulted in increased electronic banking, and data processing and software expenses.

Peoples' efficiency ratio, calculated as total non-interest expense less amortization of other intangible assets divided by fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income, plus total non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses, for the third quarter of 2019 was 61.1%, compared to 73.2% for the second quarter of 2019 and 62.6% for the third quarter of 2018. The efficiency ratio improved compared to the linked quarter, driven by lower acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, when adjusted for non-core items, was 60.7% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 60.2% for the second quarter of 2019 and 60.8% for the third quarter of 2018. During the first nine months of 2019, the efficiency ratio was 65.7%, compared to 66.5% for the same period in 2018. The efficiency ratio, when adjusted for non-core items, during the first nine months of

50

2019 improved to 61.0%, compared to 61.4% for the first nine months of 2018, driven by increases in net interest income and non-interest income.

Income tax expense was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $2.2 million for the linked quarter and $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in income tax expense compared to the linked quarter and third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. For the first nine months of 2019, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $8.9 million, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in income tax expense was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The first nine months of 2019 included a tax benefit of $195,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period. The first nine months of 2018 also included an $805,000 valuation allowance release, as well as a tax benefit of $314,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period.

At September 30, 2019, total assets were $4.40 billion, compared to $3.99 billion at December 31, 2018. The 10% increase compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition, which added $290.9 million of assets, including $129.4 million in total loans and $139.7 million in investment securities, after preliminary fair value adjustments.

Total liabilities were $3.81 billion at September 30, 2019, up $336.3 million since December 31, 2018. The increase in liabilities during the first nine months of 2019 was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $401.7 million, partially offset by a decline in borrowings of $93.5 million. The growth in deposits compared to December 31, 2018, was mostly due to acquired First Prestonsburg deposit balances, which totaled $214.0 million at September 30, 2019.

At September 30, 2019, total stockholders' equity was $588.5 million, an increase of $68.4 million, compared to December 31, 2018. The increase in total stockholders' equity was mostly due to net income of $38.8 million, the $32.4 million of common shares issued in connection with the First Prestonsburg acquisition, and other comprehensive income of $14.0 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $19.9 million. Additionally, Peoples repurchased 14,175 of its common shares under its share repurchase program for a total of $431,000 during the third quarter of 2019.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue.  The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for both loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. 

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing FTE net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions and tax-exempt loans to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a federal corporate income tax rate of 21%.  

The following table details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

(a) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the dollar amounts of the changes in each.

(b) Interest income and yields are presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate.

Net interest income was $35.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 1% compared to the linked quarter, and an increase of $2.4 million, or 7%, over the third quarter of 2018. Net interest margin was 3.66% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 3.77% for the linked quarter, and 3.68% for the third quarter of 2018. Net interest income remained relatively stable although interest rates declined during the quarter, which impacted the loan and investment portfolios. Peoples' variable rate commercial loans are subject to changes in London Interbank Offered Rate and the prime rate, both of which declined during the third quarter of 2019. The net interest margin was impacted by the lower interest rates received on loans. At September 30, 2019, average loan balances as a percent of average total earning assets declined to 73.0%, from 73.9% in the linked quarter. Higher deposit costs were partially offset by lower interest expense on borrowings.

54

The increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2018 was driven by higher interest income on loans, due to higher yields on loans, combined with higher loan balances, which were impacted by the acquired First Prestonsburg loans. The higher interest income on loans was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits due to higher rates paid on deposits, combined with additional interest expense related to the acquired First Prestonsburg deposits.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $1.2 million for the third and second quarters of 2019, and $612,000 for the third quarter of 2018, which added 12 basis points, 13 basis points, and 7 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increase in accretion income compared to the third quarter of 2018 was due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

For the first nine months of 2019, net interest income grew 11% compared to 2018, and net interest margin grew 5 basis points to 3.74%. The increases were driven by higher interest income on loans due to a combination of loan growth, which was primarily the result of the First Prestonsburg acquisition in 2019 and the ASB acquisition in 2018, and higher yields from average interest rate increases. The interest income on loan balances outpaced interest expense from deposits, which increased primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits, combined with additional interest expense related to the recent acquisitions. The first nine months of 2018 benefited from proceeds of $588,000 received on an investment security that had been previously written down due to OTTI, which added 2 basis points to net interest margin. Peoples recorded no similar proceeds during the first nine months of 2019.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2019 and $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2018, which added 11 basis points and 7 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The growth in accretion income compared to the first nine months of 2018 was largely due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition and, to a lesser extent, the ASB acquisition.

Provision for Loan Losses

The following table details Peoples’ provision for loan losses:

	Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			September 30, 2018			September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)										2019			2018
Provision for other loan losses	$	731		$	475		$	1,035		$	846		$	3,877
Provision for checking account overdrafts	274			151			267			522			596
Provision for loan losses	$	1,005		$	626		$	1,302		$	1,368		$	4,473
As a percentage of average total loans (a)	0.14		%	0.09		%	0.19		%	0.07		%	0.23		%
(a) Presented on an annualized basis.

The provision for loan losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses based on management’s formal quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and procedural methodology that estimates the amount of probable credit losses. This process considers various factors that affect losses, such as changes in Peoples’ loan quality, historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and other environmental factors such as changes in real estate market conditions, unemployment, and the economic impact of tariffs.

The provision for loan losses during the current quarter was driven by higher net charge-offs and originated loan growth. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were $777,000, or 0.11% of average total loans, compared to $208,000, or 0.03% of average total loans, for the linked quarter and $687,000, or 0.10% of average total loans, for the third quarter of 2018.

Net recoveries for the first nine months of 2019 were $22,000, compared to net charge-offs of $3.4 million, or 0.18% of average total loans, for the first nine months of 2018. The first nine months of 2019 included a $1.8 million recovery recorded on a previously charged-off commercial loan. The first nine months of 2018 included a charge-off of $827,000 on an acquired commercial loan relationship.

Net (Losses) Gains Included in Total Non-Interest Income

Net (losses) gains include gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are recognized in total non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ net (losses) gains:

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			September 30, 2018		September 30,

Net (loss) gain on asset disposals and other transactions	$	(78	)	$	(293	)	$	12	$	(553	)	$	(319	)

During the second quarter of 2019, losses included $253,000 of write-offs of fixed assets acquired from First Prestonsburg. Net losses during the year-to-date period through September 30, 2019 were driven by the write-offs of fixed assets acquired from First Prestonsburg and market value write-downs related to closed offices that were held for sale. For the first nine months of 2018, losses were primarily associated with write-offs of fixed assets acquired from ASB of $203,000.

Total Non-Interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and Losses

Electronic banking ("e-banking") income comprised the largest portion of the third quarter 2019 total non-interest income. Peoples' e-banking services include ATM and debit cards, direct deposit services, internet and mobile banking, and remote deposit capture and serve as alternative delivery channels to traditional sales offices for providing services to clients. The following table details Peoples' e-banking income:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2018		September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2019		2018
Interchange fees	$	2,842	$	2,747	$	2,464	$	8,032	$	7,248
Promotional and usage income	735		520		426		1,799		1,212
E-banking income	$	3,577	$	3,267	$	2,890	$	9,831	$	8,460

Peoples' e-banking revenue is derived largely from ATM and debit cards, as other services are mainly provided at no charge to the customers. The amount of e-banking income is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. The increases in e-banking income in all comparisons were the result of the increased usage of debit cards by more customers, which includes the impact of additional cardholders obtained in the acquisition of First Prestonsburg.

Insurance income	$	3,386	$	3,486		$	3,388	$	11,493	$	11,412

Property and casualty insurance commissions during the second quarter of 2019 included a large policy renewal for which the related income was deferred over the life of the contract. Fluctuations in deferred income from property and casualty, and life and health insurance commissions during the first nine months of 2019, compared to 2018, were driven by timing in revenue recognition upon the satisfaction of related benefit obligations. For more information regarding the recognition of insurance income, refer to "Note 11 Revenue" of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Deposit account service charges are based on the recovery of costs associated with services provided. The following table details Peoples' deposit account service charges:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2018		September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2019		2018
Overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees	$	1,970	$	1,746	$	1,800	$	5,149	$	4,823
Account maintenance fees	1,049		1,012		691		2,813		2,012
Other fees and charges	214		219		161		589		325
Deposit account service charges	$	3,233	$	2,977	$	2,652	$	8,551	$	7,160

The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Management periodically evaluates its cost recovery fees to ensure they are reasonable based on operational costs and similar to fees charged in Peoples' markets by competitors. Income from deposit account service charges were up compared to the linked quarter, due to the additional accounts acquired from First Prestonsburg. Income from deposit account service charges for the first nine months of 2019 were up compared to a year ago primarily due to the ASB and First Prestonsburg acquisitions, coupled with changes in fee schedules. Peoples implemented a new deposit account fee schedule in March 2019, and it is anticipated that the higher deposit fees associated with the new fee schedule will diminish somewhat over time.

57

Peoples' fiduciary and brokerage revenues continued to be based primarily upon the value of assets under administration and management, with additional income generated from transaction commissions, cross-selling of products and additional retirement plan services business. The following tables detail Peoples’ trust and investment income and related assets under administration and management:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2018		September 30,

Trust and investment income	$	3,205	$	3,401	$	3,110	$	9,718	$	9,410

Fiduciary income for the third quarter of 2019 declined compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to seasonal tax return revenue received annually in the second quarter. Employee benefits in 2019 have increased compared to the second quarter of 2019 and the nine months of 2018 due to the continued growth of our business that administers 401k plans for businesses.

The following table details the other items included within Peoples' total non-interest income:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2018		September 30,

Other non-interest income	510		502		391		2,113		2,143

Mortgage banking income is comprised mostly of net gains from the origination and sale of real estate loans in the secondary market, and servicing income for loans sold with servicing retained. As a result, the amount of income recognized by Peoples is largely dependent on customer demand and long-term interest rates for residential real estate loans offered in the secondary market. The increases in mortgage banking income from the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2018 were mainly due to higher sales of real estate loans. Interest rates declined during the third quarter of 2019, resulting in increased customer demand, primarily due to customers refinancing to take advantage of the lower rates. For the first nine months of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, the increase in mortgage banking income was due to increased customer demand, which was driven by the decline in mortgage interest rates during the period. Also contributing to the increase were the loans originated by the mortgage origination operation acquired as part of the ASB acquisition.

In the third quarter of 2019, Peoples sold approximately $31.7 million in loans to the secondary market with servicing retained and sold approximately $15.6 million in loans with servicing released, compared to approximately $24.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, in the linked quarter, and approximately $20.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018. For the first nine months of 2019, Peoples sold approximately $70.4 million in loans to the secondary market with servicing retained and sold approximately $37.8 million in loans with servicing released, compared to approximately $49.9 million and $38.1 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2018. The volume of sales has a direct impact on the amount of mortgage banking income.

58

Commercial loan swap fees are largely dependent on timing, interest rates, and the volume of customer activity. The increase in all comparisons was driven by higher customer demand, given the current rate environment and the favorable longer term rates that customers can lock in by utilizing a swap.

For the first nine months of 2019, other non-interest income included an increase in income from equity investment securities of $620,000 compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in income from equity investment securities was driven by $787,000 of income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock during 2019, which had been held at a carrying cost and fair value of zero due to the litigation liability associated with the stock. For the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, other non-interest income also included a decline in Small Business Administration income of $474,000.

Non-Interest Expense

Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples' largest non-interest expense, accounting for over one-half of total non-interest expense.  The following table details Peoples' salaries and employee benefit costs:

	Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			September 30, 2018			September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)										2019			2018
Base salaries and wages	$	12,592		$	14,353		$	11,889		$	38,819		$	34,917

Deferred personnel costs	(722		)	(729		)	(602		)	(2,007		)	(1,612		)
Salaries and employee benefit costs	$	18,931		$	20,824		$	17,908		$	58,957		$	51,923
Full-time equivalent employees:
Actual at end of period	910			918			849			910			849
Average during the period	913			906			860			897			832

The increase in full-time equivalent employees in 2019 compared to 2018 was mainly due to additional employees from the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

In all comparisons, base salaries and wages were impacted by merit increases, which included the continued movement towards a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company. The $15 per hour minimum wage began being phased in during 2018 and is expected to be largely implemented by January 1, 2020. Base salaries and wages were also impacted by the additional employees, primarily as a result of the First Prestonsburg acquisition in 2019 and the ASB acquisition in 2018. Base salaries and wages included no acquisition-related expenses during the third quarter of 2019, compared to $2.2 million (mainly severance and change in control costs) during the second quarter of 2019, and $450,000 during the third quarter of 2018.

The decrease in sales-based and incentive compensation for the third quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter of 2019, was due to lower sales-based compensation from insurance, partially offset by higher sales-based compensation from mortgage banking.The decrease in sales-based and incentive compensation for the third quarter of 2019, compared to the third quarter of 2018, was related to overall company performance measures used in calculating incentive awards, partially offset by higher sales-based compensation from mortgage banking, and trust and investments.Compared to the first nine months of 2018, the increase in sales-based and incentive compensation for the first nine months of 2019 was driven by higher sales-based compensation from mortgage banking. The increase in mortgage banking compared to the first nine months of 2018 was largely attributable to the recent increase in customer demand as interest rates declined, coupled with the mortgage origination operation acquired as part of the ASB acquisition.

The increase in employee benefits in the nine-month period comparison was impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, and included an increase in medical insurance costs of $1.5 million due primarily to higher medical claims and an increase in the number of participants in the insurance plan.

The increases in payroll taxes and other employment costs for periods in 2019 compared to those in 2018 primarily reflected the increases in base salaries and wages.

59

The increases in stock-based compensation compared to the 2018 periods were driven by higher expense related to stock grants made to retirement eligible grantees combined with Peoples' improved performance during recent years. The majority of grants are expensed over a three-year vesting period, with the exception of those made to retirement eligible grantees. Stock grants to retirement eligible grantees are expensed either immediately or over a shorter period than three years.

Peoples' net occupancy and equipment expense was comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2018		September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2019		2018

Net occupancy and equipment expense	$	3,098	$	3,132	$	2,850	$	9,208	$	8,519

For the 2019 periods, net occupancy and equipment expense was impacted by the costs related to the addition of nine full-service bank branches from the First Prestonsburg acquisition, partially offset by a reduction in ATM repairs and maintenance costs resulting from a new vendor servicing agreement.

The following table details the other items included in total non-interest expense:

Electronic banking expense was up in each comparison due to an increase in customer accounts and customer usage of mobile and online banking tools, which were impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions.

The increase in data processing and software expense compared to prior periods was driven by systems and software upgrades and overall growth, which included: the implementation of enhanced functionalities for Peoples' core banking system, including making certain mobile banking tools available to customers; increases in customer accounts and customer usage of mobile and online banking tools; software upgrades; and additional network capacity and security features. Data processing and software expense included $93,000 of acquisition-related expenses in the first nine months of 2019, and $59,000 in the first nine months of 2018.

Professional fees decreased from the second quarter of 2019, driven by a decline in acquisition-related expenses of $566,000, combined with additional consulting work performed during second quarter of 2019 that was not duplicated in the third quarter of 2019. Professional fees were up compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher legal expenses. Professional fees were down compared to the first nine months of 2018, mainly due to lower legal expenses and consulting work performed during the first nine months of 2018 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Peoples' amortization of other intangible assets is driven by acquisition-related activity. Amortization of other intangible assets for the third quarter of 2019 was up compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to additional information that was obtained during the three months ended September 30, 2019, which resulted in additional amortization given further refinement of the core deposit intangible asset related to the acquisition of First Prestonsburg.

60

Peoples is subject to state franchise taxes, which are based largely on Peoples' equity, in the states where Peoples has a physical presence.  Franchise tax expense also includes the Ohio Financial Institution Tax ("FIT"), which is a business privilege tax that is imposed on financial institutions organized for profit and doing business in Ohio. The Ohio FIT is based on the total equity capital in proportion to the taxpayer's gross receipts in Ohio. Expenses related to state franchise taxes, which includes Ohio FIT, increased in 2019 compared to 2018 due to additional equity from the issuance of common shares related to the acquisitions of First Prestonsburg and ASB and from operating results.

Marketing expense increased compared to the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2018, due to the timing of product marketing campaigns. Additionally, marketing expense was higher during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to overall increases in spending on brand awareness and product marketing campaigns, Peoples' expanded footprint as a result of the First Prestonsburg acquisition in 2019 and the ASB acquisition in 2018.

Foreclosed real estate and other loan expenses increased in all comparisons primarily due to the increase in costs related to the higher production of residential real estate mortgage loans sold to the secondary market, which were driven by customer demand resulting from the decline in interest rates during the third quarter of 2019, combined with loans originated by the mortgage origination operation acquired as part of the ASB acquisition.

Peoples' FDIC insurance expense declined in the first nine months of 2019 and netted to zero during the third quarter of 2019, as the deposit insurance fund had reached its target threshold for smaller banks to recognize a credit to their insurance expense. This resulted in a reversal of Peoples' second quarter 2019 accrued expense, which was offset then by the third quarter accrual. Peoples cannot reasonably anticipate any future recognition of credits, as the deposit insurance fund is analyzed on a quarterly basis, and is the premise for receiving credits.

Other non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2019 declined $3.5 million compared to the linked quarter and $187,000 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decreases were primarily due to acquisition-related expenses of $93,000 in the current quarter compared to $3.7 million (mainly contract termination fees) in the linked quarter, and $163,000 in the third quarter of 2018. The decline in other non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 of $139,000 was due to small decreases across multiple line items of expense (fraud charges, director fees and stock expense, checking and savings charge-offs and printing and supplies expense). Acquisition-related expenses included in other non-interest expense were $3.9 million and $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $2.2 million for the linked quarter and $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. The increases in income tax expense compared to the linked quarter and third quarter of 2018 were primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

For the first nine months of 2019, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $8.9 million, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in the prior year, and the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was 18.6%, compared to 16.1% for the first nine months of 2018. The year-over-year increase in income tax expense was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The first nine months of 2019 included a tax benefit of $195,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period. The first nine months of 2018 included an $805,000 valuation allowance release, as well as a tax benefit of $314,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period.

Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in "Note 12 Income Taxes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K.

Pre-Provision Net Revenue (non-US GAAP)

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by state and federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income (excluding all gains and losses) minus total non-interest expense while excluding the recovery of, or provision for, loan losses and all gains and losses included in earnings. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital. This ratio represents a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for loan losses and all gains and/or losses included in earnings.

(a) Presented on an annualized basis.

PPNR and the ratio of PPNR to total average assets increased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the linked quarter, due primarily to higher income before income taxes reflecting lower acquisition-related expenses. Compared to the third quarter of 2018, the increase in PPNR and PPNR to total average assets was driven by higher net interest income. PPNR and the ratio of PPNR to total average assets for the first nine months of 2019, compared to the first nine months of 2018, increased primarily due to higher net interest income, with both periods being impacted by acquisition-related expenses of $7.2 million for the first nine months of 2019 and $6.9 million for the first nine months of 2018.

Core Non-Interest Expense (non-US GAAP)

Core non-interest expense is a financial measure used to evaluate Peoples' recurring expense stream. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes the impact of all acquisition-related expenses and pension settlement charges.

The following tables provide reconciliations of this non-US GAAP measure to the amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Efficiency Ratio (non-US GAAP)

The efficiency ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and/or losses included in earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.

The following table provides a reconciliation of this non-US GAAP financial measure to the amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented:

(a) Based on a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate.

The improvement in the efficiency ratio compared to the linked quarter was driven by a decrease in acquisition-related expenses of $6.6 million. The efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items increased compared to the linked quarter primarily due to the lack of growth in net interest income given the impact of the rate environment, offset partially by growth in earnings assets. The efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items improved compared to the third quarter of 2018, mostly due to higher net interest income and increased fee revenue. Management is targeting an efficiency ratio of 60% to 62% for the full year of 2019, after excluding acquisition-related expenses and other non-core expenses.

63

Return on Average Assets Adjusted for Non-Core Items (non-US GAAP)

In addition to return on average assets, management uses return on average assets adjusted for non-core items to monitor performance. The return on average assets ratio adjusted for non-core items represents a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of all gains and losses, and acquisition-related expenses.

The following table provides a reconciliation of this non-US GAAP financial measure to the amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented:

64

The return on average assets increased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the linked quarter, driven by a decline in acquisition-related expenses of $6.6 million compared to the linked quarter, partially offset by higher average assets, which resulted from the First Prestonsburg acquisition. The decline in the return on average assets adjusted for non-core items in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the linked quarter was driven by the increase in average assets, combined with the slight decline in net interest income. The increases in return on average assets and return on average assets adjusted for non-core items compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, which were impacted by the First Prestonsburg acquisition, and the ASB acquisition in the nine month comparison, were driven by higher net interest income, higher non-interest income, and a lower provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in average assets.

Return on Average Tangible Equity (non-US GAAP)

The return on average tangible equity ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The return on tangible equity is calculated as net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by tangible equity. The return on tangible equity is calculated as net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by tangible equity. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets from earnings and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on total stockholders' equity.

Compared to the linked quarter, the return on average stockholders' equity and on average tangible stockholders' equity ratios were up, primarily due to the decline in acquisition-related costs compared to the second quarter of 2019. Compared to the third quarter of 2018, the return on average stockholders' equity and on average tangible stockholders' equity ratios were impacted by the First Prestonsburg acquisition, which increased capital. The return on average stockholders' equity and the return on average tangible stockholders' equity ratios increased in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018, reflecting an increase in net income, which was partially offset by dividends declared and paid during the

65

period. Compared to the first nine months of 2018, these ratios were also impacted by the First Prestonsburg acquisition and, to a lesser extent, the ASB acquisition, which increased capital.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 30, 2019, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased $37.2 million from December 31, 2018. The total cash and cash equivalent balance included $9.9 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the FRB of Cleveland at September 30, 2019, compared to $11.2 million at December 31, 2018. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.

Through the first nine months of 2019, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased $43.8 million as Peoples' net cash provided used in investing activities of $23.8 million was less than the sum of net cash provided by operating and financing activities of $52.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively. Peoples' investing activities reflected a net decrease of $12.0 million in loans and $246.6 million in purchases of available-for-sale investment securities, which were partially offset by $206.5 million in net proceeds from sales, principal payments, calls and prepayments on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities. Financing activities included a $143.7 million net increase in deposits, offset partially by a decrease of $105.6 million in short-term borrowings, as well as $19.2 million of cash dividends paid.

Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

At September 30, 2019, available-for-sale securities were up compared to June 30, 2019, as Peoples deployed excess liquidity in investment securities during the quarter. The increases in investment securities at September 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2019 and prior periods was driven by the investment securities acquired in the First Prestonsburg acquisition,

66

combined with increases in fair value driven by overall declines in market interest rates during the later half of the first nine months of 2019. In the First Prestonsburg acquisition, Peoples acquired investment securities totaling $139.7 million and subsequently sold $65.1 million of acquired available-for-sale investment securities. In April and May of 2019, $53.7 million of the proceeds were reinvested.

As of September 30, 2019, balances in loan accounts acquired from First Prestonsburg totaled $115.9 million, including $53.0 million in residential real estate loans, $36.4 million in commercial real estate loans, $13.7 million in commercial and industrial loans, $6.7 million in consumer, direct loans, and $6.1 million in home equity lines of credit.

68

Period-end total loan balances at September 30, 2019 increased $16.8 million, or 2% annualized, compared to June 30, 2019, $121.5 million, or 6% annualized, compared to December 31, 2018, and $142.6 million, or 5%, compared to September 30, 2018. Originated loan balances were up $48.1 million, or 9% annualized, compared to June 30, 2019, $66.6 million, or 4% annualized, compared to December 31, 2018, and $115.1 million, or 5%, compared to September 30, 2018. Loan originations during the first nine months of 2019 were higher than in the prior year for the same period, however, significantly higher loan paydowns experienced during the first nine months of 2019 minimized the impact of the increased production on loan growth compared to December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018.

The increase compared to June 30, 2019 was driven by residential real estate and commercial and industrial loan growth of $19.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples purchased $9.8 million of 1-4 family first lien mortgages, which had the largest impact on residential real estate loan growth compared to June 30, 2019 These increases were partially offset by declines in commercial real estate loans of $12.8 million and construction loans of $4.9 million. Compared to December 31, 2018, commercial loan balances were up $24.1 million, or 2% annualized, residential real estate loans increased $73.2 million, or 16% annualized, and consumer indirect loans were up $16.0 million, or 5% annualized. The increase in residential real estate loans compared to December 31, 2018, included the purchase of $9.8 million and $19.0 million of 1-4 family first lien mortgages, during the third and first quarters of 2019, respectively. Compared to September 30, 2018, residential real estate loans increased $59.1 million, or 10%, commercial loan balances were up $52.1 million, or 3%, and consumer indirect loans were up $26.4 million, or 7%.

Loan Concentration

Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continued to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio. The following table provides information regarding the largest concentrations of commercial real estate loans within the loan portfolio at September 30, 2019:

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities inside its primary and secondary market areas within Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. In all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were not material at either September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The amount of the allowance for loan losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses incurred within the loan portfolio.

The following details management's allocation of the allowance for loan losses:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018			September 30, 2018

As a percent of total loans	0.76		%	0.75		%	0.76		%	0.74		%	0.73		%

70

At September 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses was $21.6 million, compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $19.9 million at September 30, 2018. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.76% at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.74% at December 31, 2018 and 0.73% at September 30, 2018. The ratio includes all acquired loans, from both First Prestonsburg and previous acquisitions since 2012, of $627.7 million and allowance for acquired loan losses of $514,000. The increase in the allowance for loan losses over time was mainly the result of loan growth. Compared to December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, the increases in the allowance for loan losses were also impacted by increases in the reserve on impaired loans.

The significant allocations of allowance for loan losses to commercial loans reflect the higher credit risk associated with this type of lending and the size of this loan category in relationship to the entire loan portfolio. The allowance allocated to the residential real estate and consumer loan categories is based upon Peoples' allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans. The fluctuations in these allocations have been directionally consistent with the changes in loan quality, loss experience and loan balances in these categories.

The current allowance for loan loss calculation will be replaced as of January 1, 2020 with a new model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. For additional information see "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2019 continued to be low as a result of relatively strong asset quality metrics. During the second quarter of 2019, net charge-offs had remained relatively low, as gross charge-offs were down compared to prior periods. The net recoveries during the first quarter of 2019 were driven by the recognition of a $1.8 million recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the net charge-offs decreased as Peoples' asset quality remained stable. For the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, the ratio of net charge-offs to average total loans was relatively low.

The increase in nonperforming assets of $841,000, or 4%, compared to June 30, 2019, was due to several smaller acquired relationships that have become 90+ days past due and are still accruing. The increase in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2019, as well as previous periods, was partially due to acquired loans from First Prestonsburg, which comprised $1.5 million of nonperforming assets at September 30, 2019, with the remainder due to smaller relationships that have become 90+ days past due and are still accruing. Classified loans, which are those categorized as substandard or doubtful, declined $4.1 million, or 7%, compared to June 30, 2019, due to paydowns on several relationships. The increase in classified loans during the second quarter of 2019 was largely related to acquired First Prestonsburg loans, coupled with downgrades of two commercial loan relationships totaling $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2019. Criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, increased $3.4 million, or 4%, compared to June 30, 2019. The increase was mostly due to two relationships being downgraded, which were partially offset by upgrades of several loans. The increase in criticized loans during the second quarter of 2019 was largely related to acquired First Prestonsburg loans.

(a) The sum of amounts presented is considered total demand deposits.

At September 30, 2019, period-end deposits decreased $6.4 million, compared to June 30, 2019, and increased $401.7 million, or 14%, compared to December 31, 2018, and $316.1 million, or 10%, compared to September 30, 2018. Compared to June 30, 2019, higher-rate brokered CDs and retail CDs declined and were partially offset by increases in non-interest-bearing, money market and lower-cost interest-bearing demand deposit account balances. Brokered CDs and retail CDs were down $63.9 million, or 20%, and $8.3 million, or 2%, respectively. Non-interest-bearing deposit account balances increased $34.2 million, or 5%, while money market deposit accounts and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts were up $13.8 million, or 3%, and $12.0 million, or 2%, respectively. The increase in non-interest-bearing deposit account balances was primarily driven by two customer relationships that maintained balances that were higher than at June 30, 2019 and it is

74

anticipated these balances will decline by year-end. The increase compared to December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 was primarily driven by the deposits acquired in the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

As of September 30, 2019, the balances in deposit accounts acquired from First Prestonsburg totaled $214.0 million, including $62.3 million of interest-bearing demand accounts, $54.0 million of retail CDs, $53.1 million of savings accounts, $30.1 million of non-interest-bearing demand accounts, and $14.5 million of money market accounts.

During the third quarter of 2019, Peoples issued $10.0 million of 90-day brokered CDs to fund one $10.0 million interest rate swap with a notional value of $10.0 million. During the second quarter of 2019, Peoples issued $30.0 million of 90-day brokered CDs to fund three $10.0 million interest rate swaps with a notional value in the aggregate of $30.0 million. The brokered CDs issued in the second quarter of 2019 matured in the third quarter. The CDs were replaced with 90-day brokered CDs. The swaps will pay a fixed rate of interest while receiving three-month LIBOR, which offsets the rate on the brokered CDs. The brokered CDs will be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps.

Total demand deposit accounts comprised 39% of total deposits at September 30, 2019, compared to 37% of total deposits at June 30, 2019, 38% at March 31, 2019, 40% at December 31, 2018, and 38% at September 30, 2018. Peoples continues its deposit strategy of growing low-cost core deposits, such as checking and savings accounts, and relying on higher-cost, non-core deposits, such as brokered CDs when deposits are not available in Peoples' footprint.

Borrowed Funds

The following table details Peoples’ short-term and long-term borrowings:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018			September 30, 2018

Total borrowed funds	$	372,344	$	272,148	$	297,358	$	465,842		$	407,929

(a) Unamortized debt issuance cost was related to the cost associated with the Credit Agreement with Raymond James Bank, N.A., which was a short-term obligation that was terminated as of April 3, 2019.

Peoples' short-term FHLB advances generally consist of overnight borrowings maintained in connection with the management of Peoples' daily liquidity position. Borrowed funds, in total, which include overnight borrowings, are mainly a function of loan growth and changes in total deposit balances. The increase in overnight borrowings of $106.0 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2019, was tied to the growth in earning assets during the quarter. As of September 30, 2019, Peoples had sixteen effective interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million, $110.0 million of which were funded by FHLB 90-day advances, which are expected to extend every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps. The remaining $40.0 million of interest rate swaps were funded by 90-day brokered CDs, which will also be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps. Peoples continually evaluates the overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment. Long-term FHLB advances declined at June 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2019 due to transfers to short-term borrowings. At March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, long-term FHLB advances declined due to principal payments.

Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps can be found in "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

At September 30, 2019, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under applicable banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain a strong capital position. In order to avoid limitations on dividends,

75

equity repurchases and compensation, Peoples must exceed the three minimum required ratios by at least the capital conservation buffer. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.625% beginning January 1, 2016 to 2.50% by January 1, 2019, and applies to the common equity tier 1 ("CET1") ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. At September 30, 2019, Peoples had a capital conservation buffer of 7.18%, compared to 2.50% for the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer required at January 1, 2019. As such, Peoples exceeded the minimum ratios including the capital conservation buffer at September 30, 2019.

The following table details Peoples' risk-based capital levels and corresponding ratios:

Peoples' capital ratios at September 30, 2019 increased compared to the linked quarter due to earnings during the third quarter of 2019, which exceeded the dividends declared and paid during the quarter by $7.8 million. Peoples' capital ratios at June 30, 2019 increased compared to the linked quarter due to earnings during the second quarter of 2019, which exceeded the dividends declared and paid during the quarter by $2.6 million. The capital ratios at June 30, 2019 were also impacted by the increase in risk-weighted assets, which was largely attributable to the First Prestonsburg acquisition. The capital ratios increased at March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 due to increased equity as earnings exceeded the dividends declared. Peoples' capital ratios at December 31, 2018 increased compared to September 30, 2018 due primarily to increased earnings, which was largely driven by loan growth.

In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent non-US GAAP financial measures since their calculation removes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for Peoples to incur losses but remain solvent.

76

The following table reconciles the calculation of these non-US GAAP financial measures to amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			June 30, 2019			March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018			September 30, 2018

Tangible equity to tangible assets	9.71		%	9.81		%	9.70		%	9.35		%	8.88		%

The primary contributor to the increase in tangible book value per share at September 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2019, was net income, partially offset by dividends paid. The slight decline in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio at September 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2019, was a result of asset growth, driven primarily by an increase in the investment securities portfolio. The increase in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio at June 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2019, was due largely to the issuance of equity in the form of common shares in connection with the First Prestonsburg acquisition combined with higher retained earnings and other comprehensive income, given the increase in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities, during the second quarter of 2019, offset partially by higher tangible assets attributable primarily to the First Prestonsburg acquisition. The increase in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, was the result of higher retained earnings, combined with an increase in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset-liability management function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the asset-liability management function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk ("IRR") is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream, as well as market values, of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can affect Peoples' exposure to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.

Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the

77

level of IRR. The methods used by ALCO to assess IRR remain largely unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K.

The following table shows the estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity based upon a standard, parallel shock analysis with balances held constant (dollars in thousands):

Increase (Decrease) in Interest Rate	Estimated Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income										Estimated Increase (Decrease) in Economic Value of Equity
(in Basis Points)	September 30, 2019					December 31, 2018					September 30, 2019					December 31, 2018
300	$	16,897		13.0	%	$	7,351		5.5	%	$	79,690		7.4	%	$	(22,088	)	(2.1	)%

(200)	(21,147		)	(16.3	)%	(23,712		)	(17.6	)%	(122,534		)	(11.3	)%	(130,769		)	(12.4	)%

Estimated changes in net interest income and economic value of equity are partially driven by assumptions regarding the rate at which non-maturity deposits will reprice given a move in short-term interest rates as well as assumptions regarding prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities. Peoples takes a historically conservative approach when determining what repricing rates (i.e. deposit betas) are used and what prepayment speeds are used in modeling interest rate risk. These assumptions are monitored closely by Peoples on an ongoing basis. The actual deposit betas experienced by Peoples recently in the repricing of non-maturity deposits are lower than those used in Peoples' current interest rate risk model. While Peoples has benefited from this trend in the past, the changing interest rate environment poses potential risks to continued growth in net interest income.

With respect to investment prepayment speeds, the assumptions used are projecting the rate that the underlying mortgages prepay and cash flows are reinvested, generally as a result of refinancing activity. This activity tends to increase as longer term interest rates decline, much like the current environment. The assumptions in the interest rate risk model could be incorrect, leading to either a lower or higher impact on net interest income. Peoples generally takes a more conservative approach regarding prepayment speed assumptions.

Peoples considers other interest rate scenarios in addition to analyzing the impact of parallel yield curve shifts. This includes various flattening and steepening scenarios in which short-term and long-term rates move in different directions with varying magnitude. Peoples believes these scenarios to be more reflective of how interest rates change versus the severe parallel rate shocks described above. At September 30, 2019, the U.S. Treasury and LIBOR swap curves were inverted for certain tenors. Given the shape of market yield curves at September 30, 2019, consideration of the bull steepener scenario yields insights which were not captured by parallel shifts. The key insight presented by the bull steepener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income when long-term yields remain constant while short-term rates fall. In such a scenario, Peoples’ funding costs, which are correlated with short-term rates, decline while asset yields, which are correlated with long-term rates, remain constant.

Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate cash flows from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. The swaps are funded through either rolling 90-day FHLB advances or rolling 90-day brokered certificates of deposit, the rate on which is hedged by receipt of the three-month LIBOR component of the swaps. The net result is that, given interest rates are near historical lows, Peoples can obtain funding at swap rates which are significantly lower than rates available on alternative sources of funding, especially overnight and shorter term funding. As of September 30, 2019, Peoples has entered into sixteen interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million. Additional information regarding Peoples’ interest rate swaps can be found in “Note 14 Derivative Financial Instruments” of the Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statement included in this Form 10-Q.

At September 30, 2019, Peoples' consolidated balance sheet was positioned to benefit from rising interest rates in terms of potential impact on net interest income. The table above illustrates this point as changes to net interest income increase in the rising rate scenarios. The increase in asset sensitivity from December 31, 2018 was largely attributable to the additional interest rate swaps added in the second and third quarters of 2019. While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of interest rate risk inherent in the balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a non-parallel manner with differences in the timing, direction, and magnitude of changes in short-term

78

and long-term interest rates. Thus, any benefit that might occur as a result of the Federal Reserve lowering short-term interest rates in the future could be offset by a greater reduction in long-term interest rates.

Liquidity

In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. The methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples Bank's liquidity position remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K.

At September 30, 2019, Peoples Bank had liquid assets of $286.6 million, which represented 5.9% of total assets and unfunded loan commitments. This amount exceeded the minimum level by $189.0 million, or 3.9% of total loans and unfunded commitments, currently required under Peoples' liquidity policy. Peoples also had an additional $112.1 million of unpledged investment securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.

Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flows from the investment portfolio, along with the availability of other funding sources, will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, Peoples is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of Peoples' customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Peoples has in these financial instruments.

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Peoples' customers. Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by Peoples Bank guaranteeing the beneficiary payment by Peoples Bank in the event of default by Peoples Bank's customer in the performance of an obligation or service. Historically, most loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire unused. Peoples Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Peoples Bank uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Peoples Bank routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples Bank's normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.

The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		September 30, 2018
Home equity lines of credit	$	110,127	$	106,456	$	103,343	$	101,265	$	101,651
Unadvanced construction loans	87,063		95,266		80,916		74,734		71,836
Other loan commitments	365,343		360,872		308,103		314,271		324,059
Loan commitments	$	562,533	$	562,594	$	492,362	$	490,270	$	497,546
Standby letters of credit	$	14,983	$	14,658	$	12,371	$	10,214	$	9,979

Management does not anticipate that Peoples Bank’s current off-balance sheet activities will have a material impact on its future results of operations and financial condition based on historical experience and recent trends.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information called for by this Item 3 is provided under the caption “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity” under “ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Peoples' management, with the participation of Peoples' President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2019.  Based upon that evaluation, Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:

(a) information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Peoples’ management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;

(b) information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

(c) Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Peoples' internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Peoples' fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims.  In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be. However, based on management's current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2019, Peoples had entered into sixteen interest rate swap contracts, which were effective with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million. Although Peoples expects that each of the hedging relationships will continue to be highly effective as described above, it has not assumed that there will be no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationships. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps can be found in "Note 14 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K and "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

There have been no other material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K.  Those risk factors are not the only risks Peoples faces.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Peoples’ business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Acquisitions

On April 12, 2019, Peoples completed the merger with First Prestonsburg Bancshares Inc. ("First Prestonsburg"). First Prestonsburg merged into Peoples and First Prestonsburg's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Commonwealth Bank of Prestonsburg, Inc. ("First Commonwealth"), which operates nine full-service branches located in eastern and central Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. Consideration of $32.4 million was paid by Peoples in the form of 12.512 Peoples common shares to shareholders of First Prestonsburg for each share of First Prestonsburg common stock they owned, which resulted in the issuance of 1,005,478 Peoples common shares. In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the merger, First Prestonsburg paid a special cash distribution of $140.30 per share (for an aggregate amount of $11.3 million) which was deemed part of the total consideration to its shareholders. As a result, First Prestonsburg shareholders received total consideration of $43.7 million.

The following table provides the preliminary purchase price calculation as of the date of acquisition for the First Prestonsburg acquisition, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

Loans

Loans

Peoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and central and eastern Kentucky. Acquired loans consist of loans purchased in 2012 or thereafter. Loans that were acquired and subsequently re-underwritten are reported as originated upon execution of such credit actions (for example, renewals and increases in lines of credit). The major classifications of loan balances (in each case, net of deferred fees and costs) excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Peoples has acquired various loans through business combinations for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amounts of these purchased credit impaired loans included in the loan balances above are summarized as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commercial real estate	$	9,063	$	11,955
Commercial and industrial	3,791		1,287
Residential real estate	24,361		20,062
Consumer	663		58
Total outstanding balance	$	37,878	$	33,362
Net carrying amount	$	23,796	$	22,475

Changes in the accretable yield for purchased credit impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			September 30, 2018
Balance, beginning of period	$	8,955		$	6,704
Reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable	199			2,019

Accretion	(1,763		)	(1,392		)
Balance, September 30	$	11,251		$	9,378

The fair value of newly acquired loans is determined at the time of acquisition and Peoples completes annual re-estimations of cash flows on acquired purchased credit impaired loans in August of each year. At the end of each quarter, Peoples evaluates factors to determine if a material change has occurred in acquired purchased credit impaired loans, and if a re-estimation is needed. Factors evaluated to determine if a re-estimation is needed include changes in: risk ratings, maturity dates, charge-offs, payoffs, nonaccrual status, loans that have become past due and actual cash flows compared to the projected cash flows from the last re-estimation. Peoples evaluates these changes quarterly and compares the current status or activity to those at the previous cash flow re-estimation date, and the related materiality of the changes. As of September 30, 2019, these changes, when compared to the total loan portfolio and the factors at the last re-estimation date, would not have a material impact on amounts recorded since the last re-estimation. Peoples completed a re-estimation of cash flows on purchased credit impaired loans in August 2019, resulting in a reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable yield as shown in the table above.

Cash flows expected to be collected on purchased credit impaired loans are estimated by incorporating several key assumptions, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income and possibly the principal expected to be collected. In re-forecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.

Pledged Loans

Peoples pledges certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati. The amount of loans pledged under this blanket collateral agreement totaled $485.8 million and $505.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Peoples also pledges commercial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB of Cleveland. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled $171.7 million and $180.9 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing were as follows:

Delinquency trends remained stable, as 99.0% of Peoples' portfolio was considered “current” at September 30, 2019, compared to 98.5% at December 31, 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of the loan as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8):Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being “not rated.”

The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed:

In the first nine months of 2019, Peoples' classified loans, which are loans categorized as substandard or doubtful, increased compared to the balances at December 31, 2018 mostly due to downgrades during the period combined with loans acquired in the First Prestonsburg merger, which were partially offset by paydowns on classified loans. At September 30, 2019, criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, declined compared to the balance at December 31, 2018, largely due to the upgrade of two commercial relationships, partially offset by loans acquired in the First Prestonsburg merger.

At September 30, 2019, Peoples had a total of $1.9 million of loans secured by residential real estate mortgages that were in the process of foreclosure.

Peoples' impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs").

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

Peoples considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by Peoples include the borrower's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to the unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by Peoples generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the loan, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk, (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate recorded during the first nine months of 2019 was driven by an increase in the allowance needed for loans individually evaluated for impairment combined with loan growth. The decline in the allowance for loan losses allocated to residential real estate recorded during the first nine months of 2019 was driven by a decrease in the allowance needed for loans individually evaluated for impairment which was offset partially by loan growth. The changes in the commercial and industrial, consumer indirect and consumer direct categories of the allowance for originated loan losses and the related provision for originated loan losses recorded during the nine months of 2019 were driven by net charge-off activity and increases in the size of the respective loan portfolios.

The following table details the recorded investment and allowance for originated loan losses disaggregated based on impairment method:

Allowance for Loan Losses for Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date with no valuation allowance, and monitored for changes in credit quality and subsequent increases or decreases in expected cash flows. Decreases in expected cash flows of acquired purchased credit impaired loans are recognized as an impairment, with the amount of the expected loss included in management's evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. The methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for non-impaired acquired loans are similar to those utilized for originated loans; however, Peoples records a provision for loan losses only when the computed allowance exceeds the remaining fair value adjustment.

The following table presents activity in the allowance for loan losses for acquired loans:

Long-Term Borrowings

The following table summarizes Peoples' long-term borrowings:

	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		Weighted- Average Rate		Balance		Weighted- Average Rate
FHLB putable, non-amortizing, fixed-rate advances	$	65,000	2.18	%	$	85,000	2.05	%

Total long-term borrowings	$	84,194	2.57	%	$	109,644	2.44	%

Peoples continually evaluates its overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment. During the first nine months of 2019, no additional borrowings were entered into, and three long-term FHLB non-amortizing advances totaling $25.0 million were reclassified to short-term borrowings as the maturity became less than one year.

As of September 30, 2019, Peoples had one remaining FHLB putable option-based advance. The FHLB has the option, at its sole discretion, to terminate the advance after the initial fixed rate period of three months, requiring full repayment of the advance by Peoples prior to the stated maturity. If the advance is terminated prior to maturity, the FHLB will offer Peoples replacement funding at the then-prevailing rate on an advance product then offered by the FHLB, subject to normal FHLB credit and collateral requirements. Peoples is required to make quarterly interest payments.

The amortizing, fixed-rate FHLB advances have a fixed rate for the term of each advance, with remaining maturities ranging from seven to twelve years. These advances require monthly principal and interest payments, with some having a constant prepayment rate requiring an additional principal payment annually. These advances are not eligible for optional prepayment prior to maturity.

The aggregate minimum annual retirements of long-term borrowings in future periods are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		Weighted-Average Rate
Three months ending December 31, 2019	$	1,071	1.87	%
Year ending December 31, 2020	2,555		1.35	%
Year ending December 31, 2021	21,979		1.74	%
Year ending December 31, 2022	16,521		1.95	%
Year ending December 31, 2023	1,157		1.08	%
Thereafter	40,911		3.40	%
Total long-term borrowings	$	84,194	2.57	%

Effective April 3, 2019, Peoples terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016, between Peoples, as Borrower, and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as Lender (the "RJB Credit Agreement"), with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million. As of the termination date, April 3, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding under the RJB Credit Agreement. Additional information regarding the RJB Credit Agreement can be found in "Note 9 Long-Term Borrowings" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K.

Peoples replaced the RBJ Credit Agreement with a short-term revolving line of credit. On April 3, 2019, Peoples entered into a Loan Agreement (the “U.S. Bank Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association. The U.S. Bank Loan Agreement has a one-year term and provides Peoples with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million that may be used: (i) for working capital purposes; (ii) to finance dividends or other distributions (other than stock dividends and stock splits) on or in respect of Peoples’ capital stock and redemptions, repurchases or other acquisitions of any of Peoples’ capital stock permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement and (iii) to finance acquisitions permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 ("Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K").

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q.  Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2019 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K. 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

Peoples Risk Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples, was formed on August 22, 2019, and is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of Peoples and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among all participants. Peoples Risk Management, Inc. is subject to the regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following accounting pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples early adopted this new accounting guidance as of January 1, 2019, and it will be incorporated in the October 1, 2019 annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment analysis, but it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. Under the CECL model, Peoples will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held-for-investment and held-to-maturity investment securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2018-19 clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, and should be accounted for according to Topic 842.

The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the "incurred loss" model required under current US GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, Peoples expects that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how the allowance for credit losses is determined and could require increases to the allowance for credit losses. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of Peoples' allowance for credit losses and credit loss expense. If required to materially increase the level of allowance for credit losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect Peoples' business, financial condition and results of operations.

The CECL standard will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples has a committee that meets regularly to monitor progress and oversee the project. Peoples has implemented a third-party software solution, and is utilizing the tool to run test calculations throughout 2019 in anticipation of the full implementation at the beginning of 2020. Peoples has engaged consultants to assist with the completion of certain aspects of the project plan. Peoples will complete model validation during 2019, and is currently refining the economic forecasting process, documenting accounting policies, reviewing business processes, evaluating potential changes to the control environment and critically reviewing model output. Peoples completed a test run of its process, inclusive of the model, at the end of the third quarter of 2019.

Based on current forecasted economic conditions and portfolio balances, Peoples estimates that the impact to the allowance for credit losses for certain portions of the implementation will result in an increase of approximately 25% to 35% of the September 30, 2019 allowance for loan losses balance. This estimate includes the potential impact of modeled results for outstanding loans, impaired loans that are individually evaluated, qualitative factors and investment securities. Approximately two-thirds of the estimated increase is being driven by the establishment of an allowance for credit losses for acquired performing loans, which currently have a small allowance for loan losses. The remainder of the increase is being driven by the duration of longer term consumer loans. This estimate excludes the impact of the unfunded commitment liability and the increase in the allowance for credit losses related to purchased credit deteriorated loans. The impact of these items will be evaluated during the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimates provided are subject to change based upon many factors, including:

•uncertainty around the economic conditions that will exist at implementation;

•the composition, balance and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio at implementation;

• changes to the modeling process based upon results of model validation and further process development and refinement; and

• continued execution of the governance framework and review process.

Peoples expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses, and related tax effect, as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance issued at the end of 2016. The cumulative-effect adjustment will be based on the change in the allowance for credit losses for modeled results for outstanding loans, impaired loans that are individually evaluated, qualitative factors, investment securities and the unfunded commitment liability. The impact of the implementation for purchased credit deteriorated loans will be contemplated separately from the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment. Based on the uncertainties around factors that may be present at implementation date, Peoples is in the process of determining the magnitude of any such one-time cumulative-effect adjustment or of the overall impact of the new standard on Peoples' financial condition and results of operations. There is a three-year phase-in option for regulatory capital effects of the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment, however, Peoples does not currently anticipate opting for the phase-in based upon preliminary projections, but could change its position once closer to implementation.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging [Text Block]

Peoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities, and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2019, Peoples had entered into sixteen interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month FHLB advances or rolling three-month brokered certificates of deposit, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the swaps. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate assets or liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples had reclassifications of gains to interest expense of $30,000 and $183,000, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Peoples had reclassifications of gains to interest expense of $2,000 and $18,000, respectively.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of each derivative is reported in AOCI (outside of earnings), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. The reset dates and the payment dates on the 90-day advances or brokered certificates of deposit used to fund the swaps are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the 3-month LIBOR floating portion of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. Effectiveness is measured by ensuring that reset dates and payment dates are matched.

The following table summarizes information about the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:

Peoples had $21.2 million and no amount of cash pledged at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against interest rate swaps related to debt; however, the counterparties had pledged no amount of cash and $130,000, respectively, at those dates.

Non-Designated Hedges

Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples originates variable rate loans with interest rate swaps, where the customer enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank offsets its exposure in the swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative. Peoples had interest rate swaps associated with commercial loans with a gross notional value of $590.0 million and fair value of $14.2 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019, and a gross notional value of $453.4 million and fair value of $2.5 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operation or financial condition.

Leases [Abstract]

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]

Peoples leases certain banking facilities and equipment under various agreements with original terms providing for fixed monthly payments over periods generally ranging from two to thirty years.  Certain leases contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease.  Short-term leases of certain facilities and equipment, with lease terms of 12 months or less, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At September 30, 2019, Peoples did not have any finance leases or any significant lessor agreements.

Peoples elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842. Peoples elected to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019 for the implementation of ASU 2016-02. Peoples also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.

The table below details Peoples' lease expense, which is included in net occupancy and equipment expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income:

The unrealized losses related to residential mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were attributed to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

The gross gains and gross losses realized by Peoples from sales of available-for-sale securities for the periods ended September 30 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.  At September 30, 2019, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.

At September 30, 2019, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or two positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Both of these positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book value, with an aggregate book and fair value of $208,000 and $146,000, respectively. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans underlying these securities.

The unrealized losses with respect to the two bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at September 30, 2019 were primarily attributable to the subordinated nature of the debt.

The table below presents the amortized cost, fair value and total weighted-average yield of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2019.  The weighted-average yields are based on the amortized cost.  In some cases, the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties prior to the contractual maturity date.

During the second quarter of 2019, Peoples acquired $2.8 million FHLB stock from the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at September 30, 2019 in other non-interest income, resulting in unrealized gains of $19,000 and $42,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held at September 30, 2018 in other non-interest income, resulting in an unrealized loss of $16,000 and an unrealized gain of $621,000, respectively. Net realized gains on sales of equity investment securities, included in other non-interest income during the first nine months of 2019, consisted of a realized gain of $787,000 related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock, which had been held at a carrying cost and fair value of zero due to the litigation liability associated with the stock.

At September 30, 2019, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010.  The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.  For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee.  For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants.  Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Effective July 1, 2013, a participant in the pension plan who is employed by Peoples may elect to receive or to commence receiving such person's retirement benefits as of the later of such person's normal retirement date or the first day of the month first following the date such person makes an election to receive his or her retirement benefits.

Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples only pays 100% of the cost for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of the health benefits.  Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they arise.

The following tables detail the components of the net periodic cost for the plans described above:

Under US GAAP, Peoples is required to recognize a settlement gain or loss when the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants equals or exceeds the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension cost. The amount of settlement gain or loss recognized is the pro rata amount of the unrealized gain or loss existing immediately prior to the settlement. In general, both the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets are required to be remeasured in order to determine the settlement gain or loss.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following accounting pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2018 Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples early adopted this new accounting guidance as of January 1, 2019, and it will be incorporated in the October 1, 2019 annual goodwill and intangible assets impairment analysis, but it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. Under the CECL model, Peoples will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held-for-investment and held-to-maturity investment securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2018-19 clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, and should be accounted for according to Topic 842.

The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the "incurred loss" model required under current US GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, Peoples expects that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how the allowance for credit losses is determined and could require increases to the allowance for credit losses. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of Peoples' allowance for credit losses and credit loss expense. If required to materially increase the level of allowance for credit losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect Peoples' business, financial condition and results of operations.

The CECL standard will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples has a committee that meets regularly to monitor progress and oversee the project. Peoples has implemented a third-party software solution, and is utilizing the tool to run test calculations throughout 2019 in anticipation of the full implementation at the beginning of 2020. Peoples has engaged consultants to assist with the completion of certain aspects of the project plan. Peoples will complete model validation during 2019, and is currently refining the economic forecasting process, documenting accounting policies, reviewing business processes, evaluating potential changes to the control environment and critically reviewing model output. Peoples completed a test run of its process, inclusive of the model, at the end of the third quarter of 2019.

Based on current forecasted economic conditions and portfolio balances, Peoples estimates that the impact to the allowance for credit losses for certain portions of the implementation will result in an increase of approximately 25% to 35% of the September 30, 2019 allowance for loan losses balance. This estimate includes the potential impact of modeled results for outstanding loans, impaired loans that are individually evaluated, qualitative factors and investment securities. Approximately two-thirds of the estimated increase is being driven by the establishment of an allowance for credit losses for acquired performing loans, which currently have a small allowance for loan losses. The remainder of the increase is being driven by the duration of longer term consumer loans. This estimate excludes the impact of the unfunded commitment liability and the increase in the allowance for credit losses related to purchased credit deteriorated loans. The impact of these items will be evaluated during the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimates provided are subject to change based upon many factors, including:

•uncertainty around the economic conditions that will exist at implementation;

•the composition, balance and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio at implementation;

• changes to the modeling process based upon results of model validation and further process development and refinement; and

• continued execution of the governance framework and review process.

Peoples expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses, and related tax effect, as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance issued at the end of 2016. The cumulative-effect adjustment will be based on the change in the allowance for credit losses for modeled results for outstanding loans, impaired loans that are individually evaluated, qualitative factors, investment securities and the unfunded commitment liability. The impact of the implementation for purchased credit deteriorated loans will be contemplated separately from the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment. Based on the uncertainties around factors that may be present at implementation date, Peoples is in the process of determining the magnitude of any such one-time cumulative-effect adjustment or of the overall impact of the new standard on Peoples' financial condition and results of operations. There is a three-year phase-in option for regulatory capital effects of the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment, however, Peoples does not currently anticipate opting for the phase-in based upon preliminary projections, but could change its position once closer to implementation.

Effective April 3, 2019, Peoples terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016, between Peoples, as Borrower, and Raymond James Bank, N.A., as Lender (the "RJB Credit Agreement"), with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million. As of the termination date, April 3, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding under the RJB Credit Agreement. Additional information regarding the RJB Credit Agreement can be found in "Note 9 Long-Term Borrowings" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10-K.

Peoples replaced the RBJ Credit Agreement with a short-term revolving line of credit. On April 3, 2019, Peoples entered into a Loan Agreement (the “U.S. Bank Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association. The U.S. Bank Loan Agreement has a one-year term and provides Peoples with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million that may be used: (i) for working capital purposes; (ii) to finance dividends or other distributions (other than stock dividends and stock splits) on or in respect of Peoples’ capital stock and redemptions, repurchases or other acquisitions of any of Peoples’ capital stock permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement and (iii) to finance acquisitions permitted under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”

Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2018 Form 10‑K.

Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see "Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities:The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Equity Investment Securities:The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Derivative Assets and Liabilities: Derivative assets and liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. The fair value for derivative instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for each class of assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

	Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date
	September 30, 2019						December 31, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Impaired loans	$	—	$	—	$	28,300	$	—	$	—	$	24,129
Other real estate owned ("OREO")	—		—		289		—		—		94

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when the amounts to be received are less than the carrying value of the loans. One of the allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment is estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices or the market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 3), less estimated selling costs. At September 30, 2019, impaired loans with an aggregate principal balance of $38.6 million were outstanding and reported at fair value of $28.3 million.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recognized a reduction of $81,000 and an increase of $516,000 in the specific reserve on impaired loans, through the allowance for loan losses.

Other Real Estate Owned: OREO, included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).

Financial Instruments Not Required to be Measured or Reported at Fair Value

(a) Other investment securities, as reported on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, also includes equity investment securities for 2019 and 2018, which are reported in the Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis table above.

(b) Included in other intangible assets on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or market value.

 For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-fixed-maturity deposits, and overnight borrowings.  Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and due from banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value. (Level 1).

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities:The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Other Investment Securities: Other investment securities are measured at their respective redemption values due to restrictions placed on their transferability (Level 2).

Net Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity.  Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans (Level 3). Fair values for loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loan and other market factors, including liquidity.

Loans Held for Sale:Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally 1-4 family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The use of a valuation model using quoted prices of similar instruments are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).

Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 3). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

Servicing Rights: The fair value of the servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates (Level 3).

Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2).

Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  These financial assets and liabilities include the following: customer relationships, the deposit base, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value that are not included in the above information.  Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Stock-Based Compensation

9 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation 

Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common stock awards, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 891,340.  The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 500,000 common shares. Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans.  Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. Additionally, in 2018 and 2019, the Board of Directors granted unrestricted common shares to non-employee directors and to full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available.  If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

Restricted Common Shares

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.  Since 2018, common shares awarded to non-employee directors have vested immediately upon grant with no restrictions. Restrictions on restricted common shares awarded to employees typically expire after periods ranging from one to three years. In the first nine months of 2019, Peoples granted an aggregate of 117,773 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date. During the first nine months of 2019, Peoples granted, to certain key employees, an aggregate of 16,153 restricted common shares subject to time-based vesting with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date.

The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

	Time-Based Vesting			Performance-Based Vesting
	Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1	43,679	$	29.64	175,772	$	31.08
Awarded	16,153	31.35		117,773	32.20
Released	22,750	24.70		33,400	17.86
Forfeited	4,852	35.87		5,388	33.17
Outstanding at September 30	32,230	$	33.05	254,757	$	33.29

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the total intrinsic value for restricted common shares released was $1.8 million compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Performance Unit Awards

Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may grant performance unit awards to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.  On July 26, 2017, Peoples granted a total of seven performance unit awards to individuals who were then serving as officers, with a maximum aggregate dollar amount of $1.3 million represented by the performance units subject to such awards and each performance unit representing $1.00. As of September 30, 2019, one of seven performance unit awards had been forfeited as one of the individuals granted a performance unit award left Peoples before meeting the minimum service requirement to retain the performance unit award. The performance unit awards granted cover the performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2019, and are subject to two performance goals. Twenty-five percent of the performance units subject to each award will vest if, but only if, the related company-specific target performance goal is achieved. The remaining 75% of the performance units subject to each award will vest based on the relative performance of Peoples compared to a defined peer group (measured by percentile ranking) with respect to the related maximum performance goal. If, for the performance period, the target level of achievement for the first performance goal and/or the maximum level of achievement for the second performance goal is not reached, the dollar amount represented by the performance units associated with each performance goal will be adjusted to reflect the level of performance achieved. After the vesting date, the participant will receive that number of common shares of Peoples equal to (i) the aggregate number of the participant's performance units (and equivalent dollar value of such performance units) that vested based on the performance achieved under both performance goals (ii) divided by the fair market value of a common share of Peoples on the date the performance units are deemed to have vested (which will be the last day of the performance period) and rounded down to the nearest whole common share.

Stock-Based Compensation

Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs, for restricted common shares and performance unit awards, as well as purchases made by participants in the employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date, for the portion of awards that is expected to vest over the vesting period. For performance unit awards, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation over the performance period, based on the portion of the awards that is expected to vest based on the expected level of achievement of the two performance goals. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of up to 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	950		$	579		$	3,088		$	2,089
Recognized tax benefit	(199		)	(122		)	(648		)	(439		)
Net expense recognized	$	751		$	457		$	2,440		$	1,650

Restricted common shares were the primary form of stock-based compensation awards granted by Peoples in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The fair value of restricted common share awards on the grant date is the market price of Peoples' common shares. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted common share awards was $3.3 million at September 30, 2019, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. On February 14, 2018, an aggregate of 11,112 unrestricted common shares were granted as a one-time special award to all full-time and part-time employees who did not already participate in the 2006 Equity Plan, with a related stock-based compensation expense of $388,000 being recognized. On June 3, 2019, an aggregate of 880 unrestricted common shares were granted as a one-time special award to all full-time and part-time First Prestonsburg employees, with a related stock-based compensation expense of $27,000 being recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Peoples recorded $46,000 and $96,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation associated with the performance unit awards and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 recorded $62,000 and $188,000, respectively. Additionally, Peoples recognized $16,000 and $48,000 of stock-based compensation associated with the employee stock purchase plan, based on purchases by employees thereunder, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $15,000 and $44,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Unrestricted common shares awarded to non-employee directors are included as a component of Peoples' other non-interest expense. On January 31, 2019, Peoples granted to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,200 unrestricted common shares, which resulted in an additional $102,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized. On January 31, 2018, Peoples granted, to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,600 unrestricted common shares, which resulted in an additional $128,000 of stock-based compensation expense being recognized.
