Reclassifications	Reclassifications Financial Statements In certain instances, amounts reported in the 2023 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported stockholders’ equity or net income. Reportable Segments At December 31, 2023, BancShares reported its financial results in the General Bank, Commercial Bank, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), and Rail segments. All other financial information was included in the “Corporate” section of the segment disclosures. We made the following changes to our segment reporting during the first quarter of 2024: •the private banking and wealth management components of the SVB segment were integrated into the General Bank segment, which already included other wealth management activities; •the SVB segment was renamed SVB Commercial as its customers primarily include commercial clients in key innovation markets, as well as private equity and venture capital clients; and •the Direct Bank (a nationwide digital banking platform that delivers deposit products to consumers) previously allocated to the General Bank segment was transitioned to Corporate, which already included borrowings and brokered deposits. Segment disclosures for 2023 periods included in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the segment reporting changes summarized above. Refer to Note 20—Business Segment Information for additional information. Loan Classes At December 31, 2023, our disclosures for loans and leases and the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) were aggregated into Commercial, Consumer, and SVB portfolios, each of which consisted of several loan classes. The SVB portfolio consisted of the following loan classes: global fund banking, investor dependent - early stage, investor dependent - growth stage, innovation Commercial and Industrial (“innovation C&I”) and cash flow dependent, private bank, commercial real estate (“CRE”), and “other.” For further information, refer to Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K. During the first quarter of 2024, the private bank, CRE, and “other” loan classes described below, which were reported in the SVB portfolio at December 31, 2023, were recast to the applicable loan classes within the Commercial and Consumer portfolios. •The private bank loan class included loans to clients who are primarily private equity or venture capital professionals and executives in the innovation companies, as well as high net worth clients. This loan class included mortgages, home equity lines of credit, restricted and private stock loans, personal capital call lines of credit, lines of credit against liquid assets, and other secured and unsecured lending products. In addition, this class included owner occupied commercial mortgages and real estate secured loans. •The CRE loan class consisted generally of acquisition financing loans for commercial properties including office buildings, retail properties, apartment buildings and industrial/warehouse space. •The “other” loan class included smaller acquired portfolios, such as commercial and industrial, premium wine, and other acquired portfolios. Certain loans secured by other nonfarm, nonresidential properties, which were reported in the owner occupied commercial mortgage loan class at December 31, 2023, were recast to the non-owner occupied commercial mortgage loan class during the first quarter of 2024. Loan and lease and ALLL disclosures for 2023 periods included in this Form 10-Q were recast to reflect the changes in loan classes summarized above.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions impact the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimate related to the determination of the ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities	Derivative Assets and Liabilities During the second quarter of 2024, BancShares entered into floating-rate loan portfolio cash flow hedges as further discussed in Note 12—Derivative Financial Instruments. The changes in fair value of the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified to earnings during the periods in which the hedged cash flows affect earnings. The recognized gains and losses on loan portfolio cash flow hedges are reported in “interest and fees on loans” on the Consolidated Statements of Income when reclassified from AOCI to earnings. We assess hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If an accounting hedge subsequently ceases to qualify as an effective hedge or the forecasted cash flows are no longer probable of occurring in a cash flow hedge within the specified period, hedge accounting will be discontinued. Any amounts in AOCI related to a discontinued cash flow hedge will be reclassified to earnings over the same periods in which the hedged cash flows affect earnings. However, if it becomes probable that the forecasted cash flows will not occur within the specified period, any related amounts in AOCI will be reclassified to earnings immediately.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards	Newly Adopted Accounting Standards As of January 1, 2024, BancShares adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”): ASU 2023-02 – Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, Issued March 2023 The amendments in this ASU allow entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method (“PAM”), regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. PAM accounting had been available only for qualifying investments in qualified affordable housing projects. This ASU also requires disclosure of the nature of the investor’s tax equity investments and the effect of income tax credits and other income tax benefits from tax equity investments on the investor’s balance sheet and income statement. These required disclosures are included in Note 8—Variable Interest Entities. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures. ASU 2022-03 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, Issued June 2022 The amendments in this ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This ASU also requires specific disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
