Business Combinations [Abstract]

Business Combinations

On March 4, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the voting shares of Integrity Bancshares, Inc., or Integrity, located in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, in a tax-free reorganization transaction structured as a merger of Integrity with and into S&T, with S&T being the surviving entity. As a result of the Integrity merger, or the Merger, Integrity Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary bank of Integrity, became a separate wholly owned subsidiary bank of S&T. The merger of Integrity Bank into S&T Bank, with S&T Bank surviving the merger, and related system conversion occurred on May 8, 2015.

Integrity shareholders were entitled to elect to receive for each share of Integrity common stock either $52.50 in cash or 2.0627 shares of S&T common stock subject to allocation and proration procedures in the merger agreement. The total purchase price was approximately $172.0 million which included $29.5 million of cash and 4,933,115 S&T common shares at a fair value of $28.88 per share. The fair value of $28.88 per share of S&T common stock was based on the March 4, 2015 closing price.

The Merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and our consolidated financial statements include all Integrity Bank transactions from March 4, 2015, until it was merged into S&T Bank on May 8, 2015. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values and represent management’s estimates based on available information. Purchase accounting guidance allows for a reasonable period of time following an acquisition for the acquirer to obtain the information necessary to complete the accounting for a business combination. This period is known as the measurement period. As of September 30, 2015, an additional $1.1 million of purchase accounting adjustments were recognized that increased goodwill. The measurement period adjustments primarily related to a $0.8 million reduction in the fair value of land recorded in the second quarter of 2015 and a $0.3 million reduction in deferred taxes recorded in the third quarter of 2015.

Goodwill of $115.9 million was calculated as the excess of the consideration exchanged over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill arising from the Merger consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of S&T and Integrity. All of the goodwill was assigned to our Community Banking segment. The goodwill recognized will not be deductible for tax purposes.

Loans acquired in the Merger were recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Determining the fair value of the loans involves estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration were evaluated and not considered to be significant. The fair value of the loans acquired was $788.7 million net of a $14.8 million discount. The discount may be accreted to interest income over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Acquired loans included $331.6 million of commercial real estate, or CRE, $184.2 million of commercial and industrial, or C&I, $92.4 million of commercial construction, $116.9 million of residential mortgage, $25.6 million of home equity, $36.1 million of installment and other consumer and $1.9 million of consumer construction.

Direct costs related to the Merger were expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized $3.2 million of merger related expenses, including $1.3 million for data processing contract termination and system conversion costs, $1.2 million in legal and professional expenses, $0.4 million in severance payments and $0.3 million in other expenses.
