NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the "Company"), which has one wholly owned subsidiary, Lake City Bank (the "Bank"). Also included in this report are results for the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LCB Investments II, Inc. ("LCB Investments"), which manages the Bank’s investment securities portfolio. LCB Investments owns LCB Funding, Inc. ("LCB Funding"), a real estate investment trust. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent reporting periods, including the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On March 28, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, "Investments - Equity Method and Join Ventures (ASC 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method." ASU 2014-01, "Investments - Equity method and Joint Ventures (ASC 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects", previously introduced the option to apply the proportional amortization method to account for investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits when certain requirements are met; however, this guidance limited the proportional amortization method to investments in low-income-housing tax credit (LIHTC) structures. The proportional amortization method results in the cost of the investment being amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received, with the amortization of the investment and the income tax credits being presented net in the income statement as a component of net income tax expense (benefit). Equity investments in other tax credit structures are typically accounted for using the equity method, which results in investment income, gains and losses, and tax credits being presented gross on the income statement in their respective line items.
The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for certain tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). To qualify for the proportional amortization method, all of the following conditions must be met: (1) It is probable that the income tax credits allocated to the tax equity investor will be available; (2) The tax equity investor does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the underlying project; (3) Substantially all of the projected benefits are from income tax credits and other income tax benefits. Projected benefits included income tax credits, other income tax benefits, and other non-income tax -related benefits. The projected benefits are determined on a discounted basis, using a discount rate that is consistent with the cash flow assumptions used by the tax equity investor in making its decision to invest in the project; (4) The tax equity investor's projected yield based solely on the cash flows from the income tax credits and other income tax benefits is positive; and (5) The tax equity investor is a limited liability investor in the limited liability entity for both legal and tax purposes, and the tax equity investor's liability is limited to its capital investment. An accounting policy election is allowed to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments. The amendments in this update require specific disclosures that must be applied to all investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program for which the entity has elected to apply the proportional amortization method. The amendments require that a reporting entity disclose certain information in annual and interim reporting periods that enable investors to understanding the following information about its investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program including: (1) The nature of its tax equity investments; and (2) The effect of its tax equity investments and related income tax credits and other income tax benefits on its financial position and results of operations.
For public business entities, the amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The Company chose the modified retrospective approach and recorded a day one adjustment of ($532,000), net of tax, to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2024, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
On October 9, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative", which modified the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification and was intended to both clarify or improve such requirements and align the requirements with the SEC's regulations. The amendments to Topics of Codification provided in this Update apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected Topics unless otherwise indicated by the Update. Given the variety of Topics amended, a broad range of entities may be affected by one or more of the amendments provided in the Update. The Company evaluated the amendments provided in the Update and believes certain of the disclosure improvements are applicable to the Company's interim or annual disclosures. Subtopic 230-10, as amended, requires disclosure within the accounting policy in annual periods of where cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and losses are presented within the statement of cash flows. Subtopic 260-10, as amended, requires disclosure of the methods used in the diluted earnings-per-share computation for each dilutive security and clarifies that certain disclosures should be made during interim periods. Subtopic 470-10, as amended, requires disclosure of amounts and terms of unused lines of credit and unfunded commitments and the weighted-average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding as of the date of each balance sheet presented.
The effective date for each amendment for entities subject to the SEC's existing disclosure requirements is the effective date of the removal of the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, with early adoption prohibited. The amendments in the Update are to be applied prospectively. The Company will apply prospectively the provisions provided in the amendments as such provisions become effective, and does not believe the application of these modified disclosure requirements will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment in the Update will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective.
On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (ASC 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. Provisions in the amendment include: (1) Requirement that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the "significant expense principle"); (2) Requirement that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (3) Requirement that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets currently required by ASC 280 in interim periods; (4) Clarification that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocation resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. However, at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should be the measure that is the most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the public entity's consolidated financial statements; (5) Requirement that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources; and (6) Requirement that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures by the amendments in the Update and all existing segment disclosures in ASC 280.
The amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. For public business entities, amendments in the Update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, and upon transition to the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures, however does not expect adoption of the update to have a material impact of the consolidated financial statements.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", to address investor requests for greater transparency in regards to income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are designed to enhance transparency surrounding income tax disclosures by requiring (1) Consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) Income taxes paid disaggregation by taxing jurisdiction, which will allow investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. Other amendments in this
Update are designed to improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (loss) and income tax expense (benefit) to be consistent with the SEC's Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application-General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) Removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant.
The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its disclosures, however does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain amounts appearing in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

The Company has the current intent and ability to hold held-to-maturity securities until maturity. All of the Company's securities designated as held-to-maturity were transferred from the available-for-sale classification. The net unrealized gain or loss on the transferred securities was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the time of the transfer and is amortized over the remaining life of the underlying securities as an adjustment to the yield on those securities. The net amount of the unamortized unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $20.4 million ($16.1 million, net of tax) at March 31, 2024.
Information regarding the amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities by maturity as of March 31, 2024 is presented below. Maturity information is based on contractual maturity for all securities other than mortgage-backed securities. Actual maturities of securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay the obligation without a prepayment penalty.

Available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through the consolidated income statement. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the above criteria and for held-to-maturity securities, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is
less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, management compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. For available-for-sale debt securities, any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes.
No allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities was recorded at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Accrued interest receivable on securities totaled $7.0 million and $7.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The U.S. government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses. State and municipal securities credit losses are benchmarked against highly rated municipal securities of similar duration, as published by Moody's, resulting in an immaterial allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 4. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for expected credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the principal is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance are made for specific loans and for pools of similar types of loans, although the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged against the allowance. A provision for credit losses is taken based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the appropriate allowance balance. A formal evaluation of the adequacy of the credit loss allowance is conducted monthly. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company’s control.
The level of credit loss provision is influenced by growth in the overall loan portfolio, emerging market risk, emerging concentration risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss analysis. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the facts and circumstances
of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower, in determining the appropriate level of the credit loss provision. Furthermore, management’s overall view on credit quality is a factor in the determination of the provision.
The determination of the appropriate allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates by management. The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that generally includes consideration of changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and overall portfolio quality, along with current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay. Consideration is not limited to these factors although they represent the most commonly cited factors. To determine the specific allocation levels for individual credits, management considers the current valuation of collateral and the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows as the primary measures. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon an ongoing review of those credits. With respect to pools of similar loans, an appropriate level of general allowance is determined by portfolio segment using a probability of default-loss given default (“PD/LGD”) model, subject to a floor. A default can be triggered by one of several different asset quality factors, including past due status, nonaccrual status, material modification status or if the loan has had a charge-off. This PD is then combined with a LGD derived from historical charge-off data to construct a default rate. This loss rate is then supplemented with adjustments for reasonable and supportable forecasts of relevant economic indicators, particularly the unemployment rate forecast from the Federal Open Market Committee’s Summary of Economic Projections, and other environmental factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These environmental factors include consideration of the following: levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and nonperforming loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedure, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. It is also possible that these factors could include social, political, economic, and terrorist events or activities. All of these factors are susceptible to change, which may be significant. As a result of this detailed process, the allowance results in two forms of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for credit losses deemed adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Commercial loans are subject to a dual standardized grading process administered by the credit administration function. These grade assignments are performed independent of each other and a consensus is reached by credit administration and the loan review officer. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that indicate it should be evaluated on an individual basis. Considerations with respect to specific allocations for these individual credits include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the sufficiency of the customer’s cash flow or net worth to repay the loan; (b) the adequacy of the discounted value of collateral relative to the loan balance; (c) whether the loan has been criticized in a regulatory examination; (d) whether the loan is nonperforming; (e) any other reasons the ultimate collectability of the loan may be in question; or (f) any unique loan characteristics that require special monitoring.
Allocations are also applied to categories of loans considered not to be individually analyzed, but for which the rate of loss is expected to be consistent with or greater than historical averages. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. These general pooled loan allocations are performed for portfolio segments of commercial and industrial; commercial real estate, multi-family, and construction; agri-business and agricultural; other commercial loans; and consumer 1-4 family mortgage and other consumer loans. General allocations of the allowance are determined by a historical loss rate based on the calculation of each pool’s probability of default-loss given default, subject to a floor. The length of the historical period for each pool is based on the average life of the pool. The historical loss rates are supplemented with consideration of economic conditions and portfolio trends.
Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for credit losses, the Company’s allowance for credit losses includes an immaterial unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for credit losses incorporates the Company’s judgmental determination of potential expected losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations. As a practical expedient, the Company has elected to disclose accrued interest separately from loan principal balances on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, when a loan is placed on non-accrual, interest payments are reversed through interest income.
For off balance sheet credit exposures outlined in the ASU at 326-20-30-11, it is the Company’s position that nearly all of the unfunded amounts on lines of credit are unconditionally cancellable, and therefore not subject to having a liability recorded.
The following tables present the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the periods ended:

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful grade loans and annually on Pass grade loans over $250,000.
The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans are considered to be "Pass" rated when they are reviewed as part of the previously described process and do not meet the criteria above, which are evaluated and listed with Substandard commercial grade loans and consumer nonaccrual loans, which are evaluated individually and listed with “Not Rated” loans.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans:
The Company does not record interest on nonaccrual loans until principal is recovered. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured.
The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost basis in past due loans as of March 31, 2024 by class of loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing by class of loan:

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans by class of loan as of:

Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses using historical loss information. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine an estimate which is recorded for each asset upon origination. Occasionally, the Company has reason to modify certain terms of loans for borrowers experiencing financial distress by providing the following forms of relief: forgiveness of loan principal, extension of repayment terms, interest rate reduction or an other than insignificant payment delay. The Company can make any or all of these types of concessions as part of such modifications. Since an estimate for historical losses is already included as a component of the allowance for credit losses, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded at the time of such modifications. In the event forgiveness of principal is provided, the amount of the forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no material modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table presents the performance of such loans that have been modified in the last 12 months at March 31, 2024:

One working capital line of credit loan receiving a modification due to borrower financial difficulty within the past 12 months was 30-59 days past due at March 31, 2024. The delinquency for this line of credit was due to ongoing negotiations with the borrower for an additional restructuring of the outstanding debt for the admission of new partners into the borrower's business.
At March 31, 2024, no loans receiving a modification due to borrower financial difficulty within the last twelve months experienced a payment default.
Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion thereof) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion thereof) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.
NOTE 5. BORROWINGS
For the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an advance outstanding from the FHLB in the amount of $200.0 million. The outstanding advance was a fixed rate bullet advance with an interest rate of 5.49% and matured April 10, 2024. For the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a fixed rate bullet advance from the FHLB with an interest rate of 5.55% in the amount of $50.0 million that matured on January 5, 2024.
On October 11, 2023 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a financial institution allowing the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million. The credit agreement has a one year term which may be amended, extended, modified or renewed. Funds provided under the agreement can be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program, which was reauthorized by the Company’s board of directors on April 11, 2023 and expires on April 30, 2025, and for general operations. The credit agreement includes a negative pledge agreement whereby the Company agrees not to pledge or otherwise encumber the stock of the Bank. There were no outstanding borrowings on the credit agreement at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Securities: Securities available-for-sale are valued primarily by a third party pricing service. The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or pricing models which utilize significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). These models utilize the market approach with standard inputs that include, but are not limited to benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. For certain municipal securities that are not rated and observable inputs about the specific issuer are not available, fair values are estimated using observable data from other municipal securities presumed to be similar or other market data on other non-rated municipal securities (Level 3 inputs).
The Company’s Finance Department, which is responsible for all accounting and SEC disclosure compliance, and the Company’s Treasury Department, which is responsible for investment portfolio management and asset/liability modeling, are the two areas that determine the Company’s valuation policies and procedures. Both of these areas report directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. For assets or liabilities that may be considered for Level 3 fair value measurement on a recurring basis, these two departments and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer determine the appropriate level of the assets or liabilities under consideration. If there are new assets or liabilities that are determined to be Level 3 by this group, the Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board are made aware of such assets at their next scheduled meeting.
Securities pricing is obtained on securities from a third party pricing service and all security prices are tested annually against prices from another third party provider and reviewed with a market value price tolerance variance that varies by sector: municipal securities +/-5%, government MBS/CMO +/-3% and U.S. treasuries +/-1%. If any securities fall outside the tolerance threshold and have a variance of $100,000 or more, a determination of materiality is made for the amount over the threshold. Any security that would have a material threshold difference would be further investigated to determine why the variance exists and if any action is needed concerning the security pricing for that individual security. Changes in market value are reviewed monthly in aggregate by security type and any material changes are reviewed to determine why they exist. At least annually, the pricing methodology of the pricing service is received and reviewed to support the fair value levels used by the Company. A detailed pricing evaluation is requested and reviewed on any security determined to be fair valued using unobservable inputs by the pricing service.
Mortgage banking derivative: The fair values of mortgage banking derivatives are based on observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
Interest rate swap derivatives: Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is determined by pricing or valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
Collateral dependent loans: Collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral when repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Fair value is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is based on appraisals by qualified third party appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, the Company’s management routinely applies internal discount factors to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of collateral dependent loans. The deductions to the appraisals take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. Commercial real estate is generally discounted from its appraised value by 30-50% with the higher discounts applied to real estate that is determined to have a thin trading market or to be specialized collateral. In addition to real estate, the Company’s management evaluates other types of collateral as follows: (a) raw and finished inventory is discounted from its cost or book value by 40-60%, depending on the marketability of the goods (b) finished goods are generally discounted by 40-60%, depending on the ease of marketability, cost of transportation or
scope of use of the finished good (c) work in process inventory is typically discounted by 60%-100%, depending on the length of manufacturing time, types of components used in the completion process, and the breadth of the user base (d) equipment is valued at a percentage of depreciated book value or recent appraised value, if available, and is typically discounted at 20-50% after various considerations including age and condition of the equipment, marketability, breadth of use, and whether the equipment includes unique components or add-ons; and (e) marketable securities are discounted by 10%-30%, depending on the type of investment, age of valuation report and general market conditions. This methodology is based on a market approach and typically results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Mortgage servicing rights: As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 servicing assets for residential mortgage loans (“MSRs”) was $2.1 million, carried at amortized cost and no valuation reserve. These residential mortgage loans have a weighted average interest rate of 3.6%, a weighted average maturity of 20 years and are secured by homes generally within the Company’s market area of Northern Indiana and Indianapolis. A third-party valuation is used to estimate fair value by stratifying the portfolios on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rate. Impairment is estimated based on an income approach. The inputs used include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees and float income. The most significant assumption used to value MSRs is prepayment rate. Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates. The most significant unobservable assumption is the discount rate. At March 31, 2024, the constant prepayment speed (“PSA”) used was 154 and used a discount rate range of 10.0%-12.0%. At December 31, 2023, the PSA used was 148 and the discount rate used was 10.5%.
Other real estate owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are reviewed by the Company’s internal appraisal officer. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable properties used to determine value. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification. In addition, the Company’s management may apply discount factors to the appraisals to take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.
Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale: Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments, from third party investors, and result in a Level 2 classification.

If an event of default occurs causing an early termination of an interest rate swap derivative, any early termination amount payable to one party by the other party may be reduced by set-off against any other amount payable by the one party to the other party. If a default in performance of any obligation of a repurchase agreement occurs, each party will set-off property held in respect of transactions against obligations owing in respect of any other transactions.
NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which includes shares held in treasury on behalf of participants in the Company’s Directors Fee Deferral Plan, and share repurchases. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock based awards and warrants, none of which were antidilutive.

NOTE 10. LEASES
The Company leases certain office facilities under long-term operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2037 and some include renewal options. Many of these leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance, utilities and other costs. In many cases, rentals are subject to increase in relation to a cost-of-living index. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as a right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's corresponding lease obligations are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. ROU lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU lease asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases, as allowed as a practical expedient of the standard.
The following is a maturity analysis of the operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2024:

NOTE 11. LOSS CONTINGENCIES
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.
In July 2019, the Bank discovered potentially fraudulent activity by a former treasury management client involving multiple banks. The former client subsequently filed several related bankruptcy cases, captioned In re Interlogic Outsourcing, Inc., et al., which were filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. On April 27, 2021, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving an amended plan of liquidation, which was filed by the former client, other debtors and bankruptcy plan proponents, and approving the consolidation of the assets in the aforementioned cases under the Khan IOI Consolidated Estate Trust. On August 9, 2021, the liquidating trustee for the bankruptcy estates filed a complaint against the Bank and the Company, and agreed to stay prosecution of the action through August 31, 2022. The original complaint focused on a series of business transactions among the client, related entities and the Bank, which the liquidating trustee alleged are voidable under applicable federal bankruptcy and state law. The complaint also addressed treatment of the Bank's claims filed in the bankruptcy cases.
On August 31, 2022, the trustee filed his amended complaint against the former client, the Bank, the Company, four officers of the Bank and one independent director of the Bank. The amended complaint alleged that the former client engaged in a check kiting scheme involving multiple banks. The amended complaint alleged that a series of business transactions among the client, his related entities and the Bank are voidable under applicable bankruptcy and state laws. The amended complaint also alleged that the Bank, the Company and the five individual bank representatives who are named as defendants violated various federal and state laws in assisting the former client in his check kiting scheme. On October 26, 2022, the trustee filed his second amended complaint which was virtually identical to his amended complaint. On January 5, 2023, the Bank, the Company and the five individual bank representatives filed motions to dismiss the second amended complaint. On May 30, 2023, the court issued its decision granting the defendants' motion to dismiss in part and denying it in part. The court dismissed all claims against the Company and the Bank's independent director. The court dismissed several of the claims against the defendants but granted the trustee the right to file an amended complaint. On June 20, 2023, the trustee filed his third amended complaint. The trustee alleges many of the same claims that were alleged in the second amended complaint. The defendants
filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on July 25, 2023. The trustee subsequently filed a response to this motion. On November 26, 2023, the court issued its decision granting the defendants' motion to dismiss in part and denying it in part. The court scheduled a pre-trial conference for January 11, 2024, to among other things, set the scope, timing and parameters of the pre-trial discovery process with the parties as the litigation of all claims not dismissed by the court in its ruling has ensued. Both parties commenced the steps in their respective pre-trial discovery plans in the first quarter and have agreed to another round of mediation, which is scheduled for May 2, 2024, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at which time the trustee, the bank, its insurers and the parties’ respective counsel will attempt to settle the remaining claims.
Based on current information, we have determined that a material loss is neither probable nor estimable at this time, and the Bank and the four individual Bank representatives who remain as defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against all allegations asserted in this amended complaint.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Net income in the first three months of 2024 was $23.4 million, which decreased $877,000, or 3.6%, from $24.3 million for the comparable period of 2023. Diluted income per common share was $0.91 in the first three months of 2024, a decrease of 3.2% from $0.94 in the comparable period of 2023. The decrease in net income for 2024 was primarily due to a decrease to net interest income of $4.1 million, or 8.0%, and an increase in noninterest expense of $1.3 million, or 4.3%. Offsetting these effects was a decrease in provision for credit losses expense of $2.8 million, or 65.1%, and an increase to noninterest income of $2.3 million, or 22.3%. Pretax pre-provision earnings, a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense, were $29.3 million in the first three months of 2024, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 9.5%, compared to $32.4 million for the comparable period of 2023.
Annualized return on average total equity was 14.59% in the first three months of 2024 versus 16.81% in the comparable period of 2023. Annualized return on average total assets was 1.44% in the first three months of 2024 versus 1.54% for the comparable period of 2023. The Company's average equity to average assets ratio was 9.84% in the first three months of 2024 versus 9.13% in the comparable period of 2023. Equity has been negatively impacted by unrealized losses from the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, which are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Net income for the first three months of 2024 benefited from the recognition of $1.0 million in additional insurance recoveries associated with the wire fraud loss that occurred during the second quarter of 2023, creating an after-tax benefit of $0.03 diluted earnings per common share for the first three months of 2024. This recovery was in addition to insurance and loss recoveries of $6.3 million, or $0.18 diluted earnings per common share, that were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusting for these recoveries, the company's core operational profitability, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of the wire fraud loss, insurance and loss recoveries and other related effects, was $22.7 million for the first three months of 2024, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 6.7%, compared to the first three months of 2023.
Total assets were $6.567 billion as of March 31, 2024 versus $6.524 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $42.8 million, or less than 1%. Total loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $79.8 million, or 1.6%, which was the primary driver behind balance sheet expansion between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Offsetting the increase to loans, net of the allowance of credit losses, was a decrease in available-for-sale securities of $37.2 million, or 3.5%. The Company's primary funding source for the balance sheet expansion came from an increase in total borrowings of $150.0 million, or 300.0%, between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Total deposits decreased $102.4 million, or 1.8%, between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Total equity decreased $2.8 million, or less than 1%, from $649.8 million at December 31, 2023 to $647.0 million at March 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased $10.6 million, or 1.5%, primarily as a result of net income of $23.4 million and reduced by dividends declared and paid of $12.3 million. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), decreased $11.7 million, or 7.6%, from a decline in the fair market values of available-for-sale investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for credit losses. See “Note 4 – Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality” for more information on this critical accounting policy.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Pretax pre-provision earnings (4) | | | | | | $ | 29,323 | | | $ | 32,399 | |
(1)Noninterest expense (c)/(Net interest income (a) plus Noninterest income (b).
(2)Non-GAAP financial measure. Calculated by subtracting intangible assets, net of deferred tax, from total assets and total equity. Management believes this is an important measure because it is useful for planning and forecasting purposes. See reconciliation on the following pages.
(3)Non-GAAP financial measure. Calculated by removing the fair market value adjustment impact of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") from tangible equity and tangible assets. Management believes this is an important measure because it provides better comparability to periods preceding the recent significant rise in prevailing interest rates. See reconciliation on the following pages.
(4)Non-GAAP financial measure. Pretax pre-provision earnings is calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense. Management believes this is an important measure because it may enable investors to identify the trends in the Company's earnings exclusive of the effects of tax and provision expense, which may vary significantly from period to period. See reconciliation on the following pages.
The Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful to understanding the Company's financial performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below.

Net Income
Net income was $23.4 million in the first three months of 2024, which decreased $877,000, or 3.6%, from $24.3 million for the comparable period of 2023. The decrease in net income for the first three months of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease to net interest income of $4.1 million, or 8.0%, and an increase in noninterest expense of $1.3 million, or 4.3%. Offsetting these effects was a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $2.8 million, or 65.1%, and an increase to noninterest income of $2.3 million, or 22.3%.
Net income for the first three months of 2024 benefited from the recognition of $1.0 million in additional insurance recoveries associated with the wire fraud loss that occurred during the second quarter of 2023, creating an after-tax benefit of $0.03 diluted earnings per common share for the first three months of 2024. This recovery was in addition to insurance and loss recoveries of $6.3 million, or $0.18 diluted earnings per common share, that were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusting for these recoveries, the company's core operational profitability, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of the wire fraud loss, insurance and loss recoveries and other related effects, was $22.7 million for the first three months of 2024, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 6.7%, compared to the first three months of 2023.

(1)Tax exempt income was converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis at a 21 percent tax rate. The tax equivalent rate for tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities acquired after January 1, 1983 included the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) adjustment applicable to nondeductible interest expenses. Taxable equivalent basis adjustments were $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
(2)Loan fees, which are immaterial in relation to total taxable loan interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, are included as taxable loan interest income.
(3)Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of taxable loans.
Net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, decreased $4.2 million, or 7.9%, to $48.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $52.9 million for the first three months of 2023. The decline in net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis was driven by an increase in deposit interest expense of $16.2 million, or 65.2%, from $24.9 million to $41.2 million between the two periods. Securities interest income contributed further to the decline in fully tax equivalent net interest income, declining $779,000, or 7.9%. Loan interest income positively impacted fully tax equivalent net interest income, increasing $12.5 million, or 17.7%, from $70.7 million to $83.2 million between the two periods. Borrowings expense declined $329,000, or 11.8%.
Total average earning assets were $6.217 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $149.4 million, or 2.5%, compared to $6.068 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Average loans outstanding drove the increase to total average earning assets, increasing $245.6 million, or 5.2%, to $4.971 billion from $4.725 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Offsetting this increase was a decrease to average investment securities of $91.7 million, or 7.3%, to $1.159 billion from $1.250 billion between the respective periods. Total average interest bearing liabilities were $4.532 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $465.2 million, or 11.4%, from $4.067 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was driven by increased interest bearing deposits of $531.3 million, or 13.9%, from $3.825 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $4.356 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Offsetting the increase to average interest bearing deposits was a decrease in total average borrowings of $66.1 million, or 27.3%, to $175.8 million from $241.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $388.4 million, or 23.4%, to $1.274 billion from $1.663 billion between the respective periods.
The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 3.54% during the first three months of 2023, representing a 39 basis point, or 11.0%, contraction between the two periods. The net interest margin contraction was primarily driven by an increase to interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets, which increased to 2.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, up from 1.85% for the comparable period of 2023, for an increase of 97 basis points, or 52.4%. This increase was attributable to an increase in the rate for total interest bearing liabilities of 111 basis points, or 40.2%, to 3.87% from 2.76% between the respective periods. This increase was driven by increased costs associated with the Company's interest bearing deposits, as depositors sought higher rates on interest bearing deposit products and competition for deposits remains high throughout the industry, and by higher FHLB advances. The increase in rate for interest bearing deposits was a result of a combination of an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $531.3 million, or 13.9%, from $3.825 billion to $4.356 billion, and an increase in the average rate for interest bearing deposits of 116 basis points, from 2.64% to 3.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company anticipates the costs of funds may continue to remain elevated as a result of increased market competition, shifts from noninterest bearing deposits into interest bearing deposits, and elevated wholesale funding costs. Offsetting the increase to interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets was an increase to interest income as a percentage of average earning assets of 58 basis points, or 10.8%, to 5.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, up from 5.39% for the comparable period of 2023. This increase was attributable to an increase in loan yields, which was driven by the combination of an increase in average loans of $245.6 million, or 5.2%, to $4.971 billion from $4.725 billion, and an increase in average yield of 66 basis points to 6.73% from 6.07% between the respective periods. Loan yields benefited from an increase in the target Federal Funds rate of 50 basis points between the two periods, increasing to a range of 5.25%-5.50% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company expects the elevated interest rate environment will further benefit tax equivalent net interest margin as more commercial fixed rate loans mature and are renewed at higher interest rates.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded provision for credit losses expense of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to provision expense of $4.4 million during the comparable period of 2023, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 65.1%. Net charge-offs were $312,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.7 million during the comparable period of 2023, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 94.6%. The decrease in charge-offs between the respective periods was the result of a charge-off of $5.5 million attributable to a single commercial borrower during the first quarter of 2023.
Additional factors considered by management included key loan quality metrics, including reserve coverage of nonperforming loans and economic conditions in the Company’s markets, and changes in the facts and circumstances of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower. Management’s overall view on current credit quality was also a factor in the determination of the provision for credit losses. The Company’s management continues to monitor the adequacy of the provision based on loan levels, asset quality, economic conditions and other factors that may influence the assessment of the collectability of loans.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income categories for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are shown in the following tables:

Total noninterest income | | $ | 12,612 | | | $ | 10,314 | | | $ | 2,298 | | | 22.3 | % |
Noninterest income to total revenue | | 21.01 | % | | 16.68 | % | | | | |
Noninterest income increased by $2.3 million, or 22.3%, to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $10.3 million for the prior year three month period. The increase in noninterest income was driven primarily by an increase in other income of $1.6 million, or 253.3%, due to the recognition of an insurance recovery of $1.0 million during the first three months of 2024. Contributing further to the increase in other income was the recognition of a death benefit from the Company's bank owned life insurance program, increased FHLB dividend income and increased limited partnership investment income. Additionally, bank owned life insurance income increased $345,000, or 49.9%, wealth advisory fees increased $255,000, or 11.6%, and mortgage banking income increased $151,000. The increase to bank owned life insurance was driven by an improvement in market valuation for the Company's variable owned life insurance policies, which are tied to the performance of the equity markets. Wealth advisory fees benefited from new volume growth in addition to favorable market performance. The increase to mortgage banking income was attributable to growth in the Company's mortgage pipeline, which favorably impacted secondary market loan sale gains and mortgage rate lock income.
Adjusted core noninterest income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of the $1.0 million insurance recovery, was $11.6 million for the first three months of 2024, an increase of $1.3 million, or 12.6%, compared to the first three months of 2023.
Noninterest Expense

Efficiency ratio | | 51.15 | % | | 47.60 | % | | | | |
Noninterest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 4.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $29.4 million to $30.7 million. The increase in noninterest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by an increase of salaries and employee benefits of $770,000, or 4.8%. The increase to salaries and employees and benefits expense was driven by increases to expenses for employee salaries, incentive pay and health insurance as well as deferred compensation expense linked to the increase in market valuation of the Company's variable owned life insurance. Data processing fees and supplies expense increased $387,000, or 11.2%, from increased software as well as digital and core data processing expenses. Professional fees increased $342,000, or 16.1%, from continued investment in customer-facing and operational technology solutions. Other expense decreased $314,000, or 12.3%, due to a reduction in expenses related to credit card recourse reserve expense, telephone expense and semi-annual director share grant expense.
The Company's income tax expense increased $631,000, or 16.7%, to $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate was 15.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 13.4% for the comparable period of 2023. The year-to-date effective tax rate was increased due to adoption of ASU 2023-02, to account for the Company's investment in low-income housing tax credit structures, as well as a reduction in the tax benefit recognized from stock-based compensation vesting of shares for plan participants.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Total assets were $6.567 billion as of March 31, 2024 versus $6.524 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $42.8 million, or less than 1%. Total loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $79.8 million, or 1.6%, between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Offsetting the increase to loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, was a decrease in available-for-sale securities of $37.2 million, or 3.5%. Total deposits decreased $102.4 million, or 1.8%, between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. The decrease in total deposits was driven the change in noninterest bearing deposits which decreased $99.3 million, or 7.3%. An increase in total borrowings of $150.0 million, or 300.0%, offset the decrease in total deposits to fund the balance sheet growth between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Total equity decreased $2.8 million, or less than 1%, from $649.8 million at December 31, 2023 to $647.0 million at March 31, 2024. Retained earnings increased $10.6 million, or 1.5%, as a result of net income of $23.4 million but was reduced by dividends declared and paid of $12.3 million. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), decreased $11.7 million, or 7.6%, due primarily to a decline in available-for-sale securities fair market values during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Uses of Funds
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.1 million, or 2.7%, to $147.7 million at March 31, 2024, from $151.8 million at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments. The fluctuation in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 was driven by a decrease in cash and due from banks of $14.9 million, or 21.2% and offset by an increase in interest bearing short-term investment accounts of $10.8 million, or 13.2%.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government agencies and government sponsored entities, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity. Management is aware that, as interest rates rise, any unrealized loss in the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio will increase, and as interest rates fall the unrealized gain in the investment portfolio will rise. Since the majority of the bonds in the investment portfolio are fixed-rate, with only a few adjustable-rate bonds, we would expect our investment portfolio to follow this market value pattern. This is taken into consideration when evaluating the gain or loss of investment securities in the portfolio and the potential for an allowance for credit losses.
There were no purchases of available-for-sale securities in the first three months of 2024. Investment securities represented 17.4% of total assets on March 31, 2024, compared to 18.1% of total assets on December 31, 2023. Effective duration for the investment portfolio was 6.6 years at March 31, 2024, compared to 4.0 years at December 31, 2019 prior to the pandemic, and 6.5 years at December 31, 2023. Effective duration of the portfolio expanded following the deployment of excess liquidity to the portfolio and the rise in interest rates during the recent Federal Reserve tightening cycle. The ratio of investment securities as a percentage of total assets remains elevated over historical levels of approximately 12%-14% during 2014 to 2020. The Company expects the investment securities portfolio as a percentage of assets to decrease over time as the proceeds from pay downs, sales and maturities of these investment securities are used to fund loan portfolio growth and for other general liquidity purposes. Paydowns from prepayments and scheduled payments of $13.5 million were received in the first three months of 2024, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts, was $1.3 million. There were no maturities or calls of securities during the first three months of 2024. Sales of available-for-sale investment securities totaled $7.1 million in the first three months of 2024 and resulted in net losses of $46,000. No allowance for credit losses was recognized for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The fair value of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio as of March 31, 2024 included net unrealized losses of $189.9 million, compared to net unrealized losses of $174.6 million as of December 31, 2023. Unrealized losses in the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio resulted from the declines in market values of the investment securities. These declines were driven by the rising interest rate environment as a result of the Federal Reserve's recent monetary tightening policy.
The investment portfolio is managed by a third-party firm to provide for an appropriate balance between liquidity, credit risk, interest rate risk management and investment return and to limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk in the investment securities portfolio. The Company does not trade or invest in or sponsor certain unregistered investment companies defined as hedge funds and private equity funds under what is commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule” of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Real Estate Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale
Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale increased by $501,000, or 43.3%, to $1.7 million at March 31, 2024, from $1.2 million at December 31, 2023. The balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability depending on, among other factors, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of loan sales into the secondary market. The Company generally sells conforming qualifying mortgage loans it originates on the secondary market. Proceeds from sales of residential mortgages totaled $4.1 million in the first three months of 2024, compared to $672,000 in the first three months of 2023. Management expects the volume of loans originated for sale in the secondary market to remain at reduced levels due to elevated mortgage rates, limited inventory, and existing homeowners being locked in at historically low rates. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were $328.8 million and $333.1 million, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Loans, net | | $ | 4,924,379 | | | | | $ | 4,844,562 | | | | | $ | 79,817 | |
Total loans, excluding real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale and deferred fees, increased by $80.8 million, or 1.6%, to $5.001 billion at March 31, 2024 from $4.920 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by originations of loans concentrated in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans categories and was offset by paydowns in the agri-business and agricultural loans segment which traditionally experiences seasonal fluctuations in activity.
The following table summarizes the Company’s non-performing assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Nonaccrual loans | | $ | 14,762 | | | $ | 15,687 | |
Loans past due over 90 days and still accruing | | 7 | | | 27 | |
Total nonperforming loans | | 14,769 | | | 15,714 | |
Other real estate owned | | 384 | | | 384 | |
Repossessions | | 78 | | | 8 | |

| | | | |
Nonperforming loans to total loans | | 0.30 | % | | 0.32 | % |
Nonperforming assets to total assets | | 0.23 | % | | 0.25 | % |
Total nonperforming assets decreased by $875,000, or 5.4%, to $15.2 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2024. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased 2 basis point from 0.25% at December 31, 2023 to 0.23% at March 31, 2024.
A loan is individually analyzed when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. The analysis for smaller loans that are similar in nature and which are not in nonaccrual or modified status, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, is determined based on the class of loans. If a loan is individually analyzed, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Total individually analyzed loans decreased by $943,000, or 5.8%, to $15.2 million at March 31, 2024 from $16.1 million at December 31, 2023, due primarily to loan paydowns.
Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the principal is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb current expected credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation of the loans by management, as well as other current expected losses in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current
economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. General allowance is determined after considering the following factors: application of loss percentages using a probability of default/loss given default approach subject to a floor, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentrations, new industry lending activity and current economic conditions. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans: Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The regulations also contain a Special Mention category. Special Mention applies to loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention. The Company’s policy is to establish a specific allowance for credit losses for any assets where management has identified conditions or circumstances that indicate an asset is nonperforming. If an asset or portion, thereof is classified as a loss, the Company’s policy is to either establish specified allowances for credit losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss or charge-off such amount.
At March 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was 1.46% of total loans, which was unchanged from December 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, management believed the allowance for credit losses was at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions deteriorate, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require increases in the allowance for credit losses. The process of identifying credit losses is a subjective process.
The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, which are extended to businesses with a broad range of revenue and within a wide variety of industries. Traditionally, this type of lending may have more credit risk than other types of lending because of the size and diversity of the credits. The Company manages this risk by utilizing relatively conservative credit structures, by adjusting its pricing to the perceived risk of each individual credit and by diversifying the portfolio by customer, product, industry and market area. The Company has limited exposure to commercial office space borrowers, all of which are located in the Bank's Indiana markets. Loans totaling $73.6 million for this sector represented 1.5% of total loans at March 31, 2024. Additionally, commercial real estate loans secured by multi-family residential properties and secured by non-farm non-residential properties were approximately 205% of the Bank's risk-based capital at March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2024, based on management’s review of the loan portfolio, the Company had 70 credit relationships totaling $183.3 million on the classified loan list versus 68 credit relationships totaling $183.1 million as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $147.9 million of assets classified as Special Mention, $35.3 million classified as Substandard, $0 classified as Doubtful and $0 classified as Loss as compared to $143.6 million, $39.4 million, $0 and $0, respectively, at December 31, 2023. Watch list loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 3.67% as of March 31, 2024 from 3.72% as of December 31, 2023.
Allowance estimates are developed by management after taking into account actual loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions and a reasonably supportable forecast period. The Company has annual discussions regarding this methodology with regulatory authorities. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Company’s loan portfolio based upon loan segment. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the allowance is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. For a more thorough discussion of the allowance for credit losses methodology see the ("Critical Accounting Policies") section of this Item 2.
The allowance for credit losses increased $1.2 million, or 1.7%, from $72.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $73.2 million at March 31, 2024. The increase was a result of provision expense of $1.5 million which was offset by net charge-offs of $312,000. Provision expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was attributable to loan growth. As the bulk of the Company’s lending activity is concentrated in the commercial loan portfolio, which can result in overall asset quality being influenced by a small number of credits, management has historically considered growth and portfolio composition when determining credit loss allocations.
Sources of Funds
The Company's sources of funds include a diversified deposit base gathered throughout the Company's footprint and includes a stable mix of commercial, retail and public funds deposit accounts. While the traditional base of core deposits represents the primary source of funding for the Company, the Company has access to a robust array of other liquidity sources, including secured borrowings available from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. In addition, the Company has access to unsecured borrowing capacity through long established relationships within the brokered deposit markets, Federal Funds lines from correspondent bank partners and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) one-way buy funds
available from the Intrafi network. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had access to $3.13 billion in unused liquidity available from these aggregate sources as compared to $3.41 billion at December 31, 2023.
The average daily deposits and borrowings together with average rates paid on those deposits and borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized in the following table:

Average total deposits were $5.630 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $142.8 million, or 2.6%, from the comparable period in 2023. Average total borrowings were $175.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $66.1 million, or 27.3%, from the comparable period in 2023. Total average deposit costs increased 110 basis points from 1.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to 2.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Total average borrowing costs increased 94 basis points from 4.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 5.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result, total funding costs increased by 106 basis points from 1.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to 3.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was driven by an increase in rates on interest bearing deposits and deposit migration from noninterest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits.

Capital
As of March 31, 2024, total stockholders’ equity was $647.0 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or less than 1%, from $649.8 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease to total stockholders' equity was driven by net income of $23.4 million and was reduced by a decrease of $11.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and dividends declared and paid of $12.3 million.
The impact on equity for other comprehensive income (loss) is not included in regulatory capital. The banking regulators have established guidelines for leverage capital requirements, expressed in terms of Tier 1, or core capital, as a percentage of average assets, to measure the soundness of a financial institution. In addition, banking regulators have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized”.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk represents the Company’s primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Corporate Risk Committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy was last reviewed and approved in July 2023. The policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income but do not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company, through the Bank's Asset and Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the types of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit the Company’s needs, as determined by the Asset and Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the next twelve months. The Company continually evaluates the assumptions used in the model. The current balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels.
Interest rate scenarios for the base, falling 300 basis points, falling 200 basis points, falling 100 basis points, falling 50 basis points, falling 25 basis points, rising 25 basis points, rising 50 basis points, rising 100 basis points, rising 200 basis points and rising 300 basis points are listed below based upon the Company’s rate sensitive assets and liabilities at March 31, 2024. The net interest income shown represents cumulative net interest income over a twelve-month time horizon. Balance sheet assumptions used for the base scenario are the same for the rising and falling simulations.
The base scenario is an annual calculation that is highly dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the model. While the base sensitivity analysis incorporates management’s best estimate of interest rate and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual behavior and resulting earnings impact will likely differ from that projected. For certain assets, the base simulation model captures the expected prepayment behavior under changing interest rate environments. Assumptions and methodologies regarding the interest rate or balance behavior of indeterminate maturity core deposit products, such as savings, money market, NOW and demand deposits reflect management’s best estimate of expected future behavior.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Lakeland Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and other matters in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. On an ongoing basis management, after consultation with legal counsel, assesses the Company's liabilities and contingencies in connection with such proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending legal matters will be material to the Company's consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Please refer to that section of the Company’s Form 10-K for disclosures regarding the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business.
