NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. General

First Community Bancshares, Inc. is a financial holding company that provides banking products and services to individuals and commercial customers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution, and personal and commercial insurance products and services through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenpoint Insurance Group, Inc. (“Greenpoint”). The Bank offers wealth management services and investment advice through its Trust Division and wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”), a registered investment advisory firm. Unless the context suggests otherwise, the use of the term “Company” refers to First Community Bancshares, Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, wealth management, and insurance services. The Company’s executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. As of September 30, 2015, our operations were conducted through 62 locations in 4 states: Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been made. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full calendar year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2014 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2015. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with standards for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Policies

A complete and detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K. A discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 2 of this report.

Reclassifications and Corrections

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements that had, or are likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

On December 12, 2014, the Company completed the sale of thirteen branches to CresCom Bank (“CresCom”), Charleston, South Carolina. The divestiture consisted of ten branches in the Southeastern, Coastal region of North Carolina and three branches in South Carolina, all of which were previously acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw Bank (“Waccamaw”). At closing, CresCom assumed total deposits of $215.19 million and total loans of $70.04 million. The transaction excluded loans covered under FDIC loss share agreements. The Company recorded a net gain of $755 thousand in connection with the divestiture, which included a deposit premium received from CresCom of $6.45 million and goodwill allocation of $6.45 million.

On October 24, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of seven branches from Bank of America, National Association. At acquisition, the branches had total deposits of $318.88 million. The Company assumed the deposits for a premium of $5.79 million. No loans were included in the purchase. Additionally, the Company purchased the real estate or

assumed the leases associated with the branches. The Company recorded goodwill of $1.37 million in connection with the acquisition. These fair value estimates are considered preliminary, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values may become available. The acquisition expanded the Company’s presence by six branches in Southwestern Virginia and one branch in Central North Carolina.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential common stock that could be issued by the Company. In accordance with the treasury stock method of accounting, potential common stock could be issued for stock options, nonvested restricted stock awards, performance based stock awards, and convertible preferred stock. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the number of dilutive potential common shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes potential common shares that have an exercise price greater than the average market value of the Company’s common stock because the effect would be antidilutive. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods indicated:

As of September 30, 2015, there were 108 securities in an unrealized loss position, and their combined depreciation in value represented 1.88% of the investment securities portfolio. As of December 31, 2014, there were 97 individual securities in an unrealized loss position, and their combined depreciation in value represented 3.21% of the investment securities portfolio.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for indications of OTTI. Debt securities not beneficially owned by the Company include securities issued from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), municipal securities, single issue trust preferred securities, corporate securities, and certificates of deposit. For debt securities not beneficially owned, the Company analyzes factors such as the severity and duration of the impairment, adverse conditions within the issuing industry, prospects for the issuer, performance of the security, changes in rating by rating agencies, and other qualitative factors to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the evaluation suggests that the impairment will not be recovered, the Company calculates the present value of the security to determine the amount of OTTI. The security is then written down to its current present value and the Company calculates and records the amount of the loss due to credit factors in earnings through noninterest income and the amount due to other factors in stockholders’ equity through OCI. Temporary impairment on these securities is primarily related to changes in benchmark interest rates, changes in pricing in the credit markets, destabilization in the Eurozone, and other current economic factors. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to debt securities not beneficially owned.

Debt securities beneficially owned by the Company consist of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). For debt securities beneficially owned, the Company analyzes the cash flows for each applicable security to determine if an adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred. If the projected value of cash flows at the current reporting date is less than the present value previously projected, and less than the current book value, an adverse change has occurred. The Company then compares the current present value of cash flows to the current net book value to determine the credit-related portion of the OTTI. The credit-related OTTI is recorded in earnings through noninterest income and any remaining noncredit-related OTTI is recorded in stockholders’ equity through OCI. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred no credit-related OTTI charges related to debt securities beneficially owned. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred credit-related OTTI charges associated with debt securities beneficially owned of $219 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred credit-related OTTI charges associated with debt securities beneficially owned of $705 thousand. These charges were associated with a non-Agency MBS that was sold in November 2014.

(1) The beginning balance includes credit related losses included in OTTI charges recognized on debt securities in prior periods.

For equity securities, the Company considers its intent to hold or sell the security before recovery, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the security below its cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the decline appears to be related to issuer, general market, or industry conditions to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the Company deems the impairment other-than-temporary in nature, the security is written down to its current present value and the OTTI loss is charged to earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to equity holdings. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to equity holdings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred OTTI charges related to certain equity holdings of $32 thousand.

The carrying amount of securities pledged for various purposes totaled $243.75 million as of September 30, 2015, and $268.78 million as of December 31, 2014.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

Certain purchased loans are identified as impaired when fair values are established at acquisition. These purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are aggregated into loan pools that have common risk characteristics. The Company’s loan pools consist of Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw lines of credit, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples Bank of Virginia (“Peoples”) commercial, and Peoples residential. The Company closed the Waccamaw consumer loan pool during the first quarter of 2015 due to an insignificant remaining balance. The Company estimates cash flows to be collected on PCI loans and discounts those cash flows at a market rate of interest. The following table presents the carrying and contractual unpaid principal balance of PCI loans, by acquisition, as of the dates indicated:

Note 4. Credit Quality

The Company identifies loans for potential impairment through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, ongoing loan review, renewal processes, delinquency data, market communications, and public information. If the Company determines that it is probable all principal and interest amounts contractually due will not be collected, the loan is generally deemed to be impaired. The following table presents the recorded investment and related information for loans considered to be impaired, excluding PCI loans, as of the periods indicated:

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators that include: trends related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions. The Company’s loan review function generally analyzes all commercial loan relationships greater than $4.0 million annually and at various times during the year. Smaller commercial and retail loans are sampled for review during the year. Loan risk ratings may be upgraded or downgraded to reflect current information identified during the loan review process.

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan in its portfolio. The general characteristics of each risk grade are as follows:

 

    Pass — This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on borrower characteristics that include capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity leverage, and industry conditions.

 

    Special Mention — This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment may worsen.

 

    Substandard — This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, possible. In order to meet repayment terms, these loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, or events outside the normal course of business.

 

    Doubtful — This grade is assigned to loans on nonaccrual status. These loans have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is extremely unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.

 

    Loss — This grade is assigned to loans that will be charged off or charged down when payments, including the timing and value of payments, are determined to be uncertain. This risk grade does not imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off, either all or a portion of, the loan balance even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

Losses on covered loans are generally reimbursable by the FDIC at the applicable loss share percentage, 80%; therefore, covered loans are disclosed separately in the following credit quality discussion. PCI loan pools are disaggregated and included in their applicable loan class in the following discussion. PCI loans are generally not classified as nonaccrual or nonperforming due to the accrual of interest income under the accretion method of accounting. The following tables present loans held for investment, by internal credit risk grade, as of the periods indicated:

The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms, and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Restructured loans in excess of $250 thousand are evaluated for a specific reserve based on either the collateral or net present value method, whichever is most applicable. Specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses attributed to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $641 thousand as of September 30, 2015, and $475 thousand as of December 31, 2014. Restructured loans under $250 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation at the historical loss rate for classified loans. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. The following table presents interest income related to TDRs in the periods, indicated:

 

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

Interest income recognized

   $ 148       $ 188       $ 456       $ 466   

Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, are generally not considered TDRs as long as the loans remain in the assigned loan pool. There were no covered loans recorded as TDRs as of September 30, 2015, or December 31, 2014.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems adequate to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs. While management uses its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent on a variety of factors that may be beyond the Company’s control: the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates, the view of regulatory authorities towards loan classifications, and other factors. These uncertainties may result in a material change to the allowance for loan losses in the near term; however, the amount of the change cannot reasonably be estimated.

The Company’s allowance is comprised of specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated, including credit relationships, and general reserves related to loans not individually evaluated that are segmented into groups with similar risk characteristics, based on an internal risk grading matrix. General reserve allocations are based on management’s judgments of qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and micro economic conditions reflected within the loan portfolio and the economy. For loans acquired in a business combination, loans identified as credit impaired at the acquisition date are grouped into pools and evaluated separately from the non-PCI portfolio. The Company aggregates PCI loans into the following pools: Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw lines of credit, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Waccamaw consumer, Peoples commercial, and Peoples residential. The Company closed the Waccamaw consumer loan pool during the first quarter of 2015 due to an insignificant remaining balance. Provisions calculated for PCI loans are offset by an adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion, 80%, of the post-acquisition exposure.

Table of Contents

While allocations are made to various portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses, excluding reserves allocated to specific loans and PCI loan pools, is available for use against any loan loss management deems appropriate. As of September 30, 2015, management believed the allowance was adequate to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Note 6. FDIC Indemnification Asset

The Company entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC in 2012 in connection with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw. Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC agreed to cover 80% of most loan and foreclosed real estate losses. Certain expenses incurred in relation to these covered assets are reimbursable by the FDIC. Estimated reimbursements are netted against the expense on covered assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The following table presents activity in the FDIC indemnification asset in the periods indicated:

The FHLB may redeem callable advances at quarterly intervals after various lockout periods, which could substantially shorten the lives of the advances. If called, the advance may be paid in full or converted into another FHLB credit product. Prepayment of an advance may result in substantial penalties based on the differential between the contractual note and current advance rate for similar maturities. The Company prepaid $25 million of a FHLB convertible advance bearing an interest rate of 4.15% that was scheduled to mature in 2017 during the second quarter of 2015. The prepayment penalty associated with the $25 million FHLB debt repayment totaled $1.70 million.

The Company is required to pledge qualifying collateral to secure FHLB advances and letters of credit. As of September 30, 2015, the Company provided for FHLB letters of credit to collateralize public unit deposits totaling $6.19 million. FHLB borrowings were secured by qualifying loans that totaled $874.93 million as September 30, 2015, and $980.63 million as of December 31, 2014. Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB, net of FHLB letters of credit, totaled $422.42 million as of September 30, 2015.

Subordinated debt consists of Company-issued junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”). The Company-issued Debentures totaling $15.46 million to the Trust in October 2003 with an interest rate of three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.95%. The Trust was able to purchase the Debentures through the issuance of trust preferred securities, which had substantially identical terms as the Debentures. The Debentures mature on October 8, 2033, and are currently callable quarterly. Net proceeds from the offering were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and other relevant Trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations. The preferred securities issued by the Trust are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; however, these securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes, subject to guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). The Federal Reserve’s quantitative limits did not prevent the Company from including all $15.46 million in trust preferred securities outstanding in Tier 1 capital as of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014.

The Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution that carries an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% and matures in April 2016. As of September 30, 2015, there was no outstanding balance on the line compared to an outstanding balance of $2.00 million as of December 31, 2014.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another asset to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying asset as specified in the contract. These derivative instruments may consist of interest rate swaps, floors, caps, collars, futures, forward contracts, and written and purchased options. Derivative instruments are subject to counterparty credit risk due to the possibility that the Company will incur a loss because a counterparty, which may be a bank, a broker-dealer or a customer, fails to meet its contractual obligations. This risk is measured as the expected positive replacement value of contracts. Derivative contracts may be executed only with exchanges or counterparties approved by the Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), forward sale loan commitments, and interest rate swaps. Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors.

Table of Contents

IRLCs and forward sale loan commitments. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into IRLCs with customers on mortgage loans intended to be sold in the secondary market and commitments to sell those originated mortgage loans. The Company enters into IRLCs to provide potential borrowers an interest rate guarantee. Once a mortgage loan is closed and funded, it is included within loans held for sale and awaits sale and delivery into the secondary market. From the date we issue the commitment through the date of sale into the secondary market, the Company has exposure to interest rate movement resulting from the risk that interest rates will change from the rate quoted to the borrower. Due to these interest rate fluctuations, the Company’s balance of mortgage loans held for sale is subject to changes in fair value. Typically, the fair value of these loans declines when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates decline. The fair values of the Company’s IRLCs and forward sale loan commitments are recorded at fair value as a component of other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. These derivatives do not qualify as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.

Interest rate swaps. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to modify its exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. These instruments are used to convert these fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the LIBOR rate falls below the loan’s stated fixed rate for a given period, the Company will owe the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. If LIBOR is above the stated rate for a given period, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as fair value hedging instruments; therefore, changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period.

The Company entered into a fourteen-year, $1.20 million notional interest rate swap agreement in March 2015, a fifteen-year, $4.37 million notional interest rate swap agreement in February 2014, and a ten-year, $3.50 million notional interest rate swap agreement in October 2013. The loan hedged by the October 2013 swap paid off in 2014 and the swap was terminated. The swap agreements, which are accounted for as fair value hedges, and the loans hedged by the agreements are recorded at fair value. The fair value hedges were effective as of September 30, 2015.

Note 12. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the valuation hierarchy, is presented in the following discussion. The fair value hierarchy ranks the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets

 

    Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability

 

    Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value might be highly subjective and judgmental in nature, such as cash flow estimates, risk characteristics, credit quality measurements, and interest rates; therefore, valuations may not be precise. Since fair values are estimated as of a specific date, the amounts actually realized or paid on the settlement or maturity of these instruments may be significantly different from estimates. See “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1, “General,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Available-for-Sale Securities. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of Level 1 securities is based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. The Company also uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities use fair value measurements from independent pricing services obtained by the Company. These fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and bond terms and conditions. The Company’s Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury securities, single issue trust preferred securities, corporate securities, MBS, and certain equity securities that are not actively traded. Securities are based on Level 3 inputs when there is limited activity or less transparency to the valuation inputs. In the absence of observable or corroborated market data, internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions are used when such information is available.

Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current, or pricing variations are significant. For Level 3 securities, the Company obtains the cash flow of specific securities from third parties that use modeling software to determine cash flows based on market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security. The fair values of Level 3 securities are determined by applying proper market observable discount rates to the cash flow derived from third-party models. Discount rates are developed by determining credit spreads above a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, and adding premiums for illiquidity, which are based on a comparison of initial issuance spread to LIBOR versus a financial sector curve for recently issued debt to LIBOR. Securities with increased uncertainty about the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal-specific credit premium based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of the specific markets and the general economic indicators.

Loans Held for Investment. Loans held for investment are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current interest rates for loans with similar terms and borrower credit quality. Loans related to fair value hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities. Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These securities include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans, which are generally invested in Level 1 equity securities. The liability associated with these deferred compensation plans is carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. In addition, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, or September 30, 2014.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when repayment is expected solely from the sale of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is based on appraised value adjusted for customized discounting criteria, Level 3 inputs.

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. The impairment review includes obtaining third-party collateral valuations to help management identify potential credit impairment and determine the amount of impairment to record. The Company’s Special Assets staff assumes the management and monitoring of all loans determined to be impaired. Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of identifying the initial potential impairment. The internal valuation compares the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and considers experience and expected liquidation costs. A third-party valuation is typically received within thirty to forty-five days of completing the internal valuation. When a third-party valuation is received, it is reviewed for reasonableness. Once the valuation is reviewed and accepted, discounts are applied to fair market value, based on, but not limited to, our historical liquidation experience for like collateral, resulting in an estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific impairment reserve.

Specific reserves are generally recorded for impaired loans while third-party valuations are in process and for impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment. While waiting to receive the third-party appraisal, the Company regularly reviews the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments and begins the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare it for liquidation, including, but not limited to, engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower. Generally, the only difference between the current appraised value, less liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan, less the specific reserve, is any downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company deems appropriate, such as the costs to sell the property. Impaired loans that do not meet certain criteria and do not have a specific reserve have typically been written down through partial charge-offs to net realizable value. Based on prior experience, the Company rarely returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Credits identified as impaired move quickly through the process towards ultimate resolution, except in cases involving bankruptcy and various state judicial processes that may extend the time for ultimate resolution.

Other Real Estate Owned. OREO is recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company calculates the fair value of OREO from current or prior appraisals that have been adjusted for valuation declines, estimated selling costs, and other proprietary qualitative adjustments that are deemed necessary.

The following tables summarize assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, segregated by the level of valuation inputs in the fair value hierarchy, in the periods indicated:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses various methodologies and assumptions to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments not previously discussed is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Held-to-Maturity Securities. Securities held to maturity are reported at fair value using quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on the market price of similar loans.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. The FDIC indemnification asset is reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current discount rates.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable. Accrued interest receivable/payable is reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. Deposits without a stated maturity, such as demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings, are reported at their carrying amount, the amount payable on demand as of the reporting date, which is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. Deposits and repurchase agreements with fixed maturities and rates are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available in the market for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities.

FHLB and Other Borrowings. FHLB and other borrowings are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities. Trust preferred obligations are reported at fair value using current credit spreads in the market for similar issues.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The Company believes that fair values of unfunded commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees are not meaningful; therefore, off-balance sheet instruments are not addressed in the fair value disclosures. The Company believes it is not feasible or practical to accurately disclose the fair values of off-balance sheet instruments due to the uncertainty and difficulty in assessing the likelihood and timing of advancing available proceeds, the lack of an established market for these instruments, and the diversity in fee structures. For additional information regarding the unfunded, contractual value of off-balance sheet financial instruments, see Note 13, “Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Note 13. Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims. While the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, the Company believes the resolution of these actions, singly or in the aggregate, should not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. If the other party to a financial instrument does not perform, the Company’s credit loss exposure is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. Commitments to extend credit also include outstanding commitments related to mortgage loans that are sold on a best efforts basis into the secondary loan market. The Company maintains a reserve for the risk inherent in unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, to secure the customer’s performance under certain letters of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

The following table presents the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments as of the dates indicated:

The Company provided for letters of credit with the FHLB totaling $6.19 million as of September 30, 2015, and $6.18 million as of December 31, 2014. The FHLB letters of credit provide an attractive alternative to pledging securities for public unit deposits.

The Company issued $15.46 million of trust preferred securities in a private placement through the Trust. The Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions to holders of the trust preferred securities to the extent the Trust has not made such payments or distributions and the Company has the funds available: accrued and unpaid distributions, the redemption price, and, upon a dissolution or termination of the Trust, the lesser of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions and the amount of assets of the Trust remaining available for distribution.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2014 Form 10-K”).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We may make forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Exhibits, filings incorporated by reference, reports to our shareholders, and other communications that we make in good faith pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:

 

    the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;

 

    the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System;

 

    inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

 

    our timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;

 

    the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for our products and services and vice versa;

 

    the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations, including laws about taxes, banking, securities, and insurance, and the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;

 

    the impact of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and federal banking regulators’ continued implementation of programs to address capital and liquidity in the banking system;

 

    further, future and proposed rules, including those that are part of the process outlined in the International Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems,” which are expected to require banking institutions to increase levels of capital;

 

    technological changes;

 

    the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;

as of September 30, 2015. These assets are not our assets, but are managed under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent. The Company provides insurance services through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenpoint Insurance Group, Inc. (“Greenpoint”), headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, which operates eleven locations under the Greenpoint name and under the trade names First Community Insurance Services (“FCIS”) and Carolina Insurers Associates in North Carolina, Carr & Hyde Insurance and FCIS in Virginia, and FCIS in West Virginia. We reported total assets of $2.48 billion as of September 30, 2015. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol, “FCBC.”

We fund our lending and investing activities primarily through the retail deposit operations of our branch banking network, with additional funding provided by retail and wholesale repurchase agreements and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). We invest our funds primarily in loans to retail and commercial customers. In addition to loans, we invest a portion of our funds in various debt securities, including those of the United States and its agencies, municipals, and certain corporate notes, debt instruments, and equity securities. We also maintain overnight interest-bearing balances with the Federal Reserve and other correspondent banks. The difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities is our primary source of earnings. Our net interest income is supplemented by fees for services, commissions on sales, and various deposit service charges.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations require management to make judgments and estimates to develop the amounts reflected and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Different assumptions in the application of these estimates could result in material changes to our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances that are periodically evaluated. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or establishment of a valuation reserve, or an asset or liability needs to be recorded based upon the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or, when available, are provided by third-party sources. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated by management primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates. Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in the notes to consolidated statements. Our critical accounting estimates are described in detail in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2014 Form 10-K.

Performance Overview

Highlights of our results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and financial condition as of September 30, 2015, include the following:

 

    The Company’s non-covered loan portfolio as of September 30, 2015, increased $33.10 million, or 2.11%, compared with December 31, 2014.

 

    The Company prepaid $25 million in Federal Home Loan Bank convertible advances during the first nine months of 2015. The prepayment was in keeping with the Company’s strategic goal of reducing high cost wholesale debt.

 

    The Company repurchased 334,319 common shares during the third quarter, bringing total repurchased shares to 1,018,726 during the first nine months of 2015.

 

    The Company significantly exceeds regulatory “well capitalized” targets as of September 30, 2015.

Three-Month Comparison. Net income decreased in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year due to a $2.82 million increase in the provision for loan losses, a $593 thousand decrease in noninterest income, and a $346 thousand decrease in net interest income offset by a $2.45 million decrease in noninterest expense and a $525 thousand decrease in income tax. The increase in the provision was primarily due to a recovery of loan losses related to the release of specific reserves on a problem credit that experienced favorable resolution during the third quarter of 2014.

Nine-month Comparison. Net income decreased in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to a $2.53 million decrease in net interest income, a $458 thousand decrease in noninterest income, and a $1.12 million increase in the provision for loan losses offset by a $1.72 million decrease in noninterest expense and a $1.01 million decrease in income tax. The increase in the provision was primarily due to the release of specific reserves on a problem credit that experienced favorable resolution during the third quarter of 2014.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, our largest contributor to earnings, comprised 75.39% of total net interest and noninterest income in the third quarter of 2015 compared to 74.17% in the same quarter of 2014. Net interest income comprised 74.25% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first nine months of 2015 compared to 74.60% in the same period of 2014.

Net interest income is analyzed on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, a non-GAAP financial measure. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income from certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35%. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides better comparability between taxable and tax exempt amounts. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage the composition of our balance sheet.

Three-Month Comparison. Net interest income under GAAP decreased $346 thousand or 1.57%, and net interest income on a FTE basis decreased $414 thousand, or 1.83%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Changes in the average balances of and yields/rates on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a one basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread and a one basis point decrease in the net interest margin.

Loan interest accretion totaled $2.93 million in the third quarter of 2015, of which $903 thousand was received in cash, compared to $2.81 million in the same quarter of the prior year, of which $1.37 million was received in cash. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the yield on loans decreased 14 basis points, compared to an increase of one basis point under GAAP. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the net interest margin decreased 12 basis points compared to a decrease of one basis point under GAAP. We expect the purchase accounting interest accretion to continue to decline in future periods due to acquired portfolio attrition.

Average earning assets decreased $34.30 million, or 1.55%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to decreases in the average covered loan portfolio. The yield on earning assets decreased 20 basis

points, which was largely due to decreases in the average balance of the loan portfolio and average yield of available-for-sale securities. Interest-bearing deposits with banks are primarily comprised of excess liquidity kept at the FRB of Richmond bearing overnight market rates.

As of September 30, 2015, interest-bearing liabilities included interest-bearing deposits; retail repurchase agreements, consisting of collateralized retail deposits and commercial treasury accounts; wholesale repurchase agreements; FHLB advances; and other borrowings. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $121.94 million, or 6.75%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the prepayment of FHLB advances and the decline in average interest-bearing demand and time deposit balances. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 19 basis points, which was largely due to a 44 basis point decrease in the rate on borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $63.93 million, or 4.14%, which was driven by a $61.86 million, or 9.16%, decrease in average time deposits and a $13.18 million, or 3.78%, decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits offset by a $11.11 million, or 2.13%, increase in savings deposits, which include money market and savings accounts. Average borrowings decreased $58.02 million, or 22.17%, which was driven by a $61.13 million, or 43.01%, decrease in FHLB and other borrowings.

Nine-month Comparison. Net interest income under GAAP decreased $2.53 million, or 3.83%, and FTE net interest income decreased $2.74 million, or 4.03%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. Changes in the average balances of and yields/rates on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a 16 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread and a 16 basis point decrease in the net interest margin.

Loan interest accretion totaled $8.77 million in the first nine months of 2015, of which $3.33 million was received in cash, compared to $8.72 million in the same period of the prior year, of which $3.21 million was received in cash. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the yield on loans decreased 9 basis points, compared to a decrease of 7 basis points under GAAP. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the net interest margin decreased 16 basis points compared to a decrease of 16 basis points under GAAP. We expect the purchase accounting interest accretion to continue to decline in future periods due to acquired portfolio attrition.

Average earning assets decreased $2.77 million, or 0.12%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to increases in interest-bearing deposits held with other financial institutions and securities held to maturity. The yield on earning assets decreased 33 basis points, which was largely due to a decrease in the average balance and yield of available-for-sale securities and loans. During the first six months of 2015, we purchased low-yield, short-term bonds in the held-to-maturity category to provide for the funding necessary to extinguish certain wholesale borrowings as they come due and invested excess liquidity on a short-term basis. Interest-bearing deposits with banks are primarily comprised of excess liquidity kept at the FRB of Richmond bearing overnight market rates.

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $125.28 million, or 6.71%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the prepayment of FHLB advances and the decline in average interest-bearing demand and time deposit balances. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 basis points, which was largely due to a 34 basis point decrease in the rate on borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $54.04 million, or 3.41%, which was driven by a $40.27 million, or 5.79%, decrease in average time deposits and a $21.14 million, or 5.81%, decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits offset by a $7.37 million, or 1.40%, increase in savings deposits, which include money market and savings accounts. Average borrowings decreased $71.24 million, or 25.18%, which was driven by a $66.70 million, or 42.22%, decrease in FHLB and other borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

Three-Month Comparison. The provision for loan losses is added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level management determines necessary to absorb probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The provision charged to operations increased $2.82 million to $381 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 compared to a recovery of $2.44 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The recovery was primarily due to the release of specific reserves on a problem credit that experienced favorable resolution during the third quarter of 2014. The PCI loan portfolio realized a recovery of $94 thousand in the third quarter of 2015, resulting in a $75 thousand recovery recorded through the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure and a $19 thousand provision charged to operations. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section below.

Nine-month Comparison. The provision charged to operations increased $1.12 million to $1.76 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the release of specific reserves on a problem credit that experienced favorable resolution during the third quarter of 2014. The PCI loan portfolio realized a recovery of $38 thousand in the first nine months of 2015, resulting in a $29 thousand recovery recorded through the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure and a $9 thousand recovery charged to operations.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income consists of all revenues not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income comprised 24.61% of total net interest and noninterest income in the third quarter of 2015 compared to 25.83% in the same quarter of the prior year. Noninterest income comprised 25.75% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first nine months of 2015 compared to 25.40% in the same period of the prior year.

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest income decreased $593 thousand, or 7.73%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Wealth management revenues, which include fees and commissions for trust and investment advisory services, increased for the Trust Division and FCWM. Service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees increased primarily from an increase in monthly service charges on checking accounts and debit card income. Insurance commissions decreased largely due to a decrease in fees. In the third quarter of 2015, we realized a net loss of $39 thousand on the sale of securities. See Note 2, “Investment Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report. We recorded net negative amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset of $1.77 million as a result of improved loss estimates and payoffs in the covered Waccamaw loan portfolio. Other operating income decreased primarily due to a $57 thousand decrease in income from bank owned life insurance policies.

Excluding the impact from OTTI charges, the sale of securities, the net amortization on the FDIC indemnification asset, and death benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, noninterest income increased $219 thousand, or 2.53%, to $8.88 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with $8.66 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

Nine-month Comparison. Noninterest income decreased $458 thousand, or 2.04%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. Wealth management revenues decreased as a result of higher estate settlement fees earned in the same period of the prior year. Service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees increased primarily from an increase in monthly service charges on checking accounts and debit card income, offset by a decrease in insufficient fee income. Insurance commissions increased largely due to an increase in property and casualty premium commissions and contingency profit-sharing revenue income. In the first nine months of 2015, we realized a net gain of $151 thousand on the sale of securities. See Note 2, “Investment Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report. We recorded net negative amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset of $5.18 million as a result of improved loss estimates and payoffs in the covered Waccamaw loan portfolio. Other operating income increased primarily due to a $1.14 million after tax death benefit from the maturity of a bank owned life insurance policy offset by a $536 thousand bank owned life insurance benefit recognized in the same period of the prior year.

Excluding the impact from OTTI charges, the sale of securities, the net amortization on the FDIC indemnification asset, and death benefits from bank owned life insurance policies, noninterest income decreased $1.65 million, or 7.35%, to $20.75 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared with $22.40 million in the same period of the prior year.

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest expense decreased $2.45 million, or 11.41%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Full-time equivalent employees, calculated using the number of hours worked, decreased to 677 as of September 30, 2015, from 691 as of September 30, 2014. The reduction in full-time equivalent employees was primarily due to net branch divestiture activity that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense remained relatively stable in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in other operating expense included an increase in the net loss on sales and expenses related to OREO of $641 thousand to $1.22 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $579 thousand in the same quarter of the prior year.

Nine-month Comparison. Noninterest expense decreased $1.72 million, or 2.93%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense decreased $178 thousand, or 2.11%, in the first nine months of 2015, which was primarily due to the branch divestiture activity that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014. Acquisition and divestiture expense totaled $86 thousand in the first nine months of 2015, which was related to branch acquisition and divestiture activity that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. We prepaid $25 million of a FHLB convertible advance with a May 2017 maturity and 4.15% interest rate during the second quarter of 2015, which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $1.70 million. The increase in other operating expense included a $213 thousand branch property write-down offset by a $248 thousand decrease in expenses related to employee benefit plans. Other operating expenses also included an increase in the net loss on sales and expenses related to OREO of $273 thousand to $1.96 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $1.69 million in the same period of the prior year.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax as a percentage of pretax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to permanent differences, which are items of income and expense excluded by law from the calculation of taxable income. Our most significant permanent differences generally include interest income on municipal securities and increases in the cash surrender value of officers’ life insurance policies, which are both exempt from federal income tax. Income tax expense decreased $525 thousand, or 14.55%, and the effective rate decreased 87 basis points to 33.01% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to a decrease in taxable revenues as a percent of net earnings. Income tax expense decreased $1.01 million, or 10.70%, and the effective rate decreased 89 basis points to 31.31% in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to the tax exempt nature of the death benefit received.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $2.48 billion as of September 30, 2015, a decrease of $129.82 million, or 4.98%, compared with $2.61 billion as of December 31, 2014. Total liabilities were $2.13 billion as of September 30, 2015, a decrease of $123.27 million, or 5.46%, compared with $2.26 billion as of December 31, 2014. Our book value per common share was $18.83 as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.77, or 4.26%, compared with $18.06 as of December 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015, decreased $175.64 million, or 73.90%, compared to December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the deployment of liquidity to redeem our convertible preferred shares, repurchase common stock, purchase investment securities to provide the funding necessary to extinguish certain borrowings as they come due, and establish a short-term investment portfolio.

Investment Securities

Available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2015, decreased $56.10 million, or 17.20%, compared to December 31, 2014. The market value of securities available for sale as a percentage of amortized cost was 98.97% as of September 30, 2015, compared to 97.95% as of December 31, 2014. Held-to-maturity securities as of September 30, 2015, increased $14.65 million, or 25.28%, compared to December 31, 2014, due to the purchase of low-yield, short-term bonds to provide funding to extinguish certain wholesale borrowings when due. Investment securities classified as held to maturity are comprised primarily of U.S. Agency securities and high grade municipal bonds. The market value of securities held to maturity as a percentage of amortized cost was 100.60% as of September 30, 2015, compared with 99.90% as of December 31, 2014.

Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible OTTI. We recognized no credit-related OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities beneficially owned for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $219 thousand for the same period of 2014. We recongnized no credit-related OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities beneficially owned for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $705 thousand for the same period of 2014. These charges were related to a non-Agency mortgage-backed security that was sold in November 2014. We recognized no OTTI charges in earnings associated with equity securities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 or September 30, 2014. We recognized no OTTI charges in earnings associated with equity securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $32 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. See Note 2, “Investment Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale as of September 30, 2015, decreased $1.27 million, or 70.81%, compared to September 30, 2014. Loans held for sale consist of mortgage loans sold on a best efforts basis into the secondary loan market; accordingly, we do not retain the interest rate risk involved in these long-term commitments. The gross notional amount of outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans in the secondary market totaled $4.92 million for 27 commitments as of September 30, 2015, and $1.39 million for 9 commitments as of December 31, 2014.

Loans Held for Investment

Our loans held for investment are grouped into three segments (commercial loans, consumer real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are defined as loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. Loans held for investment as of September 30, 2015, increased $1.06 million, or 0.06%, compared to December 31, 2014. The non-covered loan portfolio increased $33.10 million, or 2.11%, compared to December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to increased loan demand throughout all segments of the loan portfolio. The covered loan portfolio as of September 30, 2015, decreased $32.04 million, or 26.21%, compared to December 31, 2014, due to continued runoff in the covered Waccamaw portfolio. The average loan to deposit ratio was 85.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 90.47% for the same period of 2014. See Note 3, “Loans,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Risk Elements

Nonperforming assets consist of loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, unseasoned troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and OREO. Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. See Note 4, “Credit Quality,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report. The following table summarizes the components of nonperforming assets and presents additional details for nonperforming and restructured loans as of the periods indicated:

Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification as a result of changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, or resolution efforts. Non-covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more totaled $3 thousand as of September 30, 2015. There were no non-covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as of December 31, 2014, or September 30, 2014. There were no covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as of September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014, or September 30, 2014.

Non-covered nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2015, increased $6.54 million, or 61.99%, from December 31, 2014, and $5.62 million, or 48.95%, from September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, non-covered nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to the following loan classes: single family owner occupied (41.51%) and non-farm, non-residential (40.19%). As of September 30, 2015, approximately $191 thousand, or 1.12%, of non-covered nonaccrual loans were attributed to performing loans acquired in business combinations. Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to estimated realizable value or assigned specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses based upon management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.

When restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we generally make concessions in interest rates, loan terms, and/or amortization terms. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. Accruing TDRs as of September 30, 2015, decreased $495 thousand, or 3.41%, from December 31, 2014, and $1.11 million, or 7.34%, from September 30, 2014. Nonperforming accruing TDRs totaled $74 thousand, or 0.53% of total accruing TDRs as of September 30, 2015, compared to $2.73 million, or 18.76% of total accruing TDRs, as of December 31, 2014, and $3.45 million, or 22.77% of total accruing TDRs, as of September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses attributed to TDRs totaled $641 thousand as of September 30, 2015, $475 thousand as of December 31, 2014, and $653 thousand as of September 30, 2014.

Non-covered delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $22.97 million as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $986 thousand, or 4.49%, compared with December 31, 2014, and an increase of $2.02 million, or 9.66%, compared with September 30, 2014. Non-covered delinquent loans as a percentage of total non-covered loans measured 1.44% as of September 30, 2015, which is attributed to loans 30 days or more past due of 0.37% and nonaccrual loans of 1.07%. Non-covered nonperforming loans, comprised of nonaccrual loans and nonperforming and unseasoned TDRs, as a percentage of total non-covered loans were 1.07% as of September 30, 2015, 0.85% at December 31, 2014, and 0.91% at September 30, 2014.

Non-covered OREO, which is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost, decreased $1.55 million, or 23.35%, as of September 30, 2015, compared with December 31, 2014, and decreased $524 thousand, or 9.34%, as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, non-covered OREO consisted of 50 properties with an average holding period of 11 months. The net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $1.08 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $422 thousand in the same quarter of the prior year. The net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $1.50 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $1.20 million in the same period of the prior year.

Non-covered nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2015, increased $2.35 million, or 11.77%, from December 31, 2014, and $1.72 million, or 8.39%, from September 30, 2014. Non-covered nonperforming assets as a percentage of total non-covered assets were 0.93% as of September 30, 2015, 0.80% as of December 31, 2014, and 0.85% as of September 30, 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by charges to earnings in the form of provisions and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by loans charged off. The provision for loan losses is calculated and charged to expense to bring the allowance to an appropriate level using a systematic process of measurement that requires significant judgments and estimates.

Table of Contents

Management performs quarterly assessments to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses includes specific allocations to significant individual loans and credit relationships and general reserves to the remaining loans that have been deemed impaired. Loans not specifically identified are grouped into pools based on similar risk characteristics. Management’s general reserve allocations are based on judgments of qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and micro economic conditions reflected in the loan portfolio and the economy. For loans acquired in business combinations, a provision is recorded for any credit deterioration after the acquisition. Loans identified with credit impairment at acquisition are grouped into pools and evaluated separately from the non-PCI portfolio. The provision calculated for PCI loans is offset by an adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure. See “Critical Accounting Estimates” above, as well as “Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1, “General,” and Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2015, decreased $100 thousand, or 0.49%, compared with December 31, 2014, and decreased $1.03 million, or 4.88%, compared with September 30, 2014. The allowance attributed to the non-PCI loan portfolio as a percentage of non-covered loans held for investment was 1.26% as of September 30, 2015, 1.29% at December 31, 2014, and 1.28% at September 30, 2014. The cash flow analysis identified two of our six open PCI loan pools as impaired as of September 30, 2015, compared to two of seven PCI loan pools at December 31, 2014, and one of seven loan pools at September 30, 2014. The allowance attributed to the PCI loan portfolio totaled $20 thousand as of September 30, 2015, $58 thousand as of December 31, 2014, and $418 thousand as of September 30, 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, a recovery of $75 thousand was recorded through the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure, compared to $29 thousand during the first nine months of 2015. As of September 30, 2015, management considered the allowance to be adequate based upon analysis of the portfolio; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance will not be required in future periods.

Our qualitative risk factors continue to reflect a reduced risk of loan losses due to improvements in general economic conditions and asset quality metrics offset by an increased risk of loan losses due to credit concentrations. Net charge-offs increased $234 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of the prior year and decreased $1.27 million, or 41.03%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of the prior year. The portfolio continues to be monitored for deterioration in credit, which may result in the need to increase the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

Deposits

Total deposits as of September 30, 2015, decreased $97.86 million, or 4.89%, compared to December 31, 2014. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $10.57 million and time deposits decreased $112.73 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $24.29 million and savings deposits, which include money market and savings accounts, increased $1.15 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014.

Borrowings

Total borrowings as of September 30, 2015, decreased $24.71 million, or 10.76%, compared to December 31, 2014. Short-term borrowings consist of retail repurchase agreements. The balance of retail repurchase agreements increased $2.33 million, or 1.92%, as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014. Securities underlying retail repurchase agreements remain under our control during the terms of the agreements. Long-term borrowings consist of wholesale repurchase agreements; FHLB borrowings, including convertible and callable advances; and other obligations. The balance and weighted average rate of wholesale repurchase agreements remained constant at $50.00 million and 3.71%, respectively, as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, wholesale repurchase agreements had contractual maturities between one and four years. The balance of FHLB borrowings decreased $25.00 million, or 27.78%, as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, and the weighted average rate decreased 3 basis points to 4.04%. We prepaid $25 million of a FHLB convertible advance with a May 2017 maturity and 4.21% interest rate during the second quarter of 2015, which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $1.70 million. As of September 30, 2015, FHLB borrowings had contractual maturities between one and six years. Included in other borrowings is $15.46 million of junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) that were issued by the Company in October 2003 through the Trust with an interest rate of three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.95%. The Debentures mature in October 2033 and are currently callable at the option of the Company. The Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution that carries an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% and matures in April 2016. As of September 30, 2015, there was no outstanding balance on the line compared to an outstanding balance of $2.00 million as of December 31, 2014.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $6.55 million, or 1.86%, from $351.37 million as of December 31, 2014, to $344.83 million as of September 30, 2015. The change in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the repurchase of 1,018,726 shares of our common stock, common dividends of $7.45 million, and the redemption of 2,367 shares of Series A Preferred Stock offset by net income of $18.39 million and other comprehensive income of $1.87 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to raise sufficient cash, or convert assets to cash, to meet our financial obligations. We maintain a liquidity risk management policy and contingency funding policy (“Liquidity Plan”) that is designed to detect potential liquidity issues to protect depositors, creditors, and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes various internal and external indicators that are reviewed on a recurring basis by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) and the

Table of Contents

Board of Directors. ALCO reviews liquidity risk exposure and policies related to liquidity management, ensures that systems and internal controls are consistent with liquidity policies, and provides accurate reports about liquidity needs, sources, and compliance.

As of September 30, 2015, we maintained liquidity in the form of unencumbered cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions of $62.02 million, availability on federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $105.00 million, credit available from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window of $9.09 million, unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $422.42 million, and unpledged available-for-sale securities of $138.47 million. Cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions, as well as lines of credit extended from correspondent banks and the FHLB, are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and our operations. Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB is reported net of letters of credit held to secure public unit deposits. As of September 30, 2015, we provided letters of credit to public depositors with the FHLB totaling $6.19 million. Available-for-sale securities represent a secondary source of liquidity upon conversion to a liquid asset. Our approved lines of credit with correspondent banks are available as backup liquidity sources.

As a holding company, the Company does not conduct significant operations. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends received from the Bank and borrowings. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to certain regulatory limitations. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s liquid assets consisted of cash and investment securities totaling $23.73 million. The Company’s cash reserves and investments provide adequate working capital to meet obligations and projected dividends to shareholders for the next twelve months. The Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution. As of September 30, 2015, there was no outstanding balance on the line.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Risk-based capital guidelines, issued by state and federal banking agencies, include balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet arrangements weighted by the risks inherent in the specific asset type. Basel III Capital Rules became effective on January 1, 2015, subject to a four-year phase-in period. The Company’s required initial minimum capital ratios under Basel III include:

 

    4.5% Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets

 

    6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets

 

    8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets

Our capital ratios presented for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, are based on the Basel III requirements, while prior period information is based on the requirements under Basel II. A detailed description of the Basel III Capital Rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K. The following table presents our capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

As of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, our capital ratios were well in excess of the minimum standards and classified as “well capitalized” under regulatory capital adequacy standards applicable to that period. Additionally, our capital ratios were in excess of the minimum standards under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis, if such requirements were in effect, as of September 30, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We extend contractual commitments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to financial instruments is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of results of operations and financial position in historical dollars. Inflation may cause a rise in price levels and changes in the relative purchasing power of money. These inflationary effects are not reflected in historical dollar measurements. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the price of goods and services; therefore, the effect of inflation on businesses with large investments in property, plant, and inventory is generally more significant than the effect on financial institutions. The U.S. inflation rate continues to be relatively stable, and management believes that any changes in inflation will not be material to our financial performance.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our profitability is largely dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Our Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-earning assets reprice differently than interest-bearing liabilities. We manage our mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment.

Net interest income, our primary component of operational revenue, is subject to variation due to changes in interest rate environments and unbalanced repricing opportunities on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk has four primary components: repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, and option risk. Repricing risk occurs when earning assets and paying liabilities reprice at differing times as interest rates change. Basis risk occurs when underlying rates on assets and liabilities change at different levels or in varying degrees. Yield curve risk is the risk of adverse consequences that occurs when the same instrument experiences unequal change in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities. Lastly, option risk occurs from embedded options, often put or call options, given or sold to holders of financial instruments.

To mitigate the effect of changes in the general level of interest rates, we manage repricing opportunities and thus, our interest rate sensitivity. We seek to control our interest rate risk exposure to insulate net interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To measure our exposure to interest rate risk, quarterly simulations of net interest income are performed using financial models that project net interest income through a range of possible interest rate environments, including rising, declining, most likely, and flat rate scenarios. We use a simulation model that captures all earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments and combines the various factors affecting rate sensitivity into an earnings outlook for a range of assumed interest rate scenarios. Simulation results show the existence and severity of interest rate risk in each rate environment based on the current balance sheet position, assumptions about changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-paying liabilities, and our estimate of yields earned on assets and rates paid on deposit instruments and borrowings. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and our strategies. The earnings simulation model provides the best tool for managing interest rate risk available to us and the industry.

Table of Contents

We have established policy limits for tolerance of interest rate risk in various interest rate scenarios. In addition, the policy addresses exposure limits to changes in the economic value of equity per predefined policy guidelines. The most recent simulation indicates that current exposure to interest rate risk is within our defined policy limits.

The following table summarizes the impact of immediate and sustained rate shocks in the interest rate environment on net interest income. The model simulates rate changes of plus 300 to minus 100 basis points from the base simulation and illustrates the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes over a twelve-month period. This modeling technique, although useful, does not take into account all strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock as depicted. As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will differ due to prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. As of September 30, 2015, the Federal Open Market Committee maintained a target range for federal funds of 0 to 25 basis points, rendering a complete downward shock of 200 basis points meaningless; thus, downward rate scenarios are limited to minus 100 basis points. In the downward rate shocks presented, benchmark interest rates are assumed to have floors near 0%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or management’s override of the controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, we are of the belief that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

A description of the Company’s risk factors is included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2014 Form 10-K. Our risk factors discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial performance. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, our risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all risks we face. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K.
