The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which include the accounts of four commercial banks: QCBT, CRBT, CSB and GB. All four banks are state-chartered commercial banks and all are members of the Federal Reserve system. The Company also engages in direct financing lease contracts through m2, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCBT. The company also engages in wealth management services through its banking subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The acquisition of GFED, the holding company of GB, headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, occurred on April 1, 2022 and on April 2, 2022, GB was merged into SFCB, the Company’s Springfield-based charter. The combined bank changed its name to Guaranty Bank. The financial results for the periods since the acquisition and merger are included in this report. See Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information about the acquisition and merger.
Recent accounting developments: In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. In December 2022, in response to the postponement of the cessation date of LIBOR, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 which defers the sunset date of the ASU 2020-4 guidance to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief.
Management has assessed the impacts of ASU 2020-04 and the related opportunities and risks involved in the LIBOR transition. Specifically, management has identified all of the financial instruments with LIBOR exposure which includes certain commercial loans, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and certain securities. In all cases, management has determined a plan of transition from LIBOR to a different index. This transition occurred prior to the expiration of published LIBOR rates on June 30, 2023 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” Under the standard, the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors in ASC 310-40 is eliminated and guidance on “vintage disclosures” is amended to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For public companies that have adopted ASC 326, the changes take effect in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2023 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force).” Under the standard, the accounting guidance expands use of the proportional amortization method of accounting to equity investments in tax credit programs beyond those in LIHTC programs. The ASU also prescribes specific information reporting entities must disclose about tax credit investments each period. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2023, for public business entities, with all other entities having an extra year to adopt. Entities will have the option of applying the ASU using either a modified retrospective or retrospective adoption approach. For some changes related to existing LIHTC investments, prospective application is permitted. The standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity, to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company's HTM municipal securities consist largely of private issues of municipal debt. The large majority of the municipalities are located within the Midwest. The municipal debt investments are underwritten using specific guidelines with ongoing monitoring.
The Company's residential mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio consists entirely of government sponsored or government guaranteed securities. The Company has not invested in private mortgage-backed securities or pooled trust preferred securities.

At June 30, 2023, the investment portfolio included 641 securities. Of this number, 563 securities were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate losses of these securities totaled approximately 11.0% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio. Of these 563 securities, there were 397 securities that had an unrealized loss for twelve months or more due to the current rate environment.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s impairment evaluation determined that one publicly traded debt security experienced a decline in fair value due to credit quality, rather than market factors. As a result, the Company recognized a credit loss expense of $989 thousand in the first quarter and established an ACL on the related AFS security. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there has been no change to the ACL on the related AFS security.
The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for held to maturity and available for sale securities by major security type for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company's municipal securities portfolios were comprised of general obligation bonds issued by 85 issuers with fair values totaling $89.6 million and revenue bonds issued by 166 issuers, primarily consisting of states, counties, towns, villages and school districts with fair values totaling $616.1 million. The Company also held investments in general obligation bonds in 18 states, including seven states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million, and in revenue bonds in 30 states, including 13 states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company's municipal securities portfolios were comprised of general obligation bonds issued by 118 issuers with fair values totaling $110.6 million and revenue bonds issued by 181 issuers, primarily consisting of states, counties, towns, villages and school districts with fair values totaling $617.2 million.

Both general obligation and revenue bonds are diversified across many issuers. As of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, the Company held revenue bonds of two issuers, both located in Ohio, of which the aggregate book or market value exceeded 5% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The issuers’ financial conditions are strong and the sources of repayment are diversified. The Company monitors the investments and concentration closely. Of the general obligation and revenue bonds in the Company's portfolio, the majority are unrated bonds that represent small, private issuances. All unrated bonds were underwritten according to the Company’s loan underwriting standards and have an average loan risk rating of 2, indicating very high quality. Additionally, many of these bonds are funding essential municipal services such as water, sewer, education, and medical facilities.
The Company's municipal securities are owned by the four charters, whose investment policies set forth limits for various subcategories within the municipal securities portfolio. The investments of each charter are monitored individually, and as of June 30, 2023, all were within policy limitations approved by the Company’s board of directors. Policy limits are calculated as a percentage of each charter's total risk-based capital.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company's standard monitoring of its municipal securities portfolio had not uncovered any facts or circumstances resulting in significantly different credit ratings than those assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or in the case of unrated bonds, the rating assigned using the credit underwriting standards.

* Includes equipment financing agreements outstanding at m2, totaling $295.5 million and $278.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
** As of June 30, 2023, there were C&I – other, construction and land development and multi-family loans held for sale in preparation for securitization totaling $291.1 million. The balances in these loan classes as of June 30, 2023 were $360 thousand, $12.7 million and $278.0 million, respectively. There were no loans held for sale in preparation for securitization at December 31, 2022.
*** Management performs an evaluation of the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets on an annual basis, at a minimum. The evaluation consists of discussions with reputable and current vendors, which is combined with management's expertise and understanding of the current states of particular industries to determine informal valuations of the equipment. As necessary and where available, management will utilize valuations by independent appraisers. The majority of leases with residual values contain a lease options rider, which requires the lessee to pay the residual value directly, finance the payment of the residual value, or extend the lease term to pay the residual value. In these cases, the residual value is protected and the risk of loss is minimal.
**** Includes residential real estate held for sale totaling $4.0 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans, totaled $27.3 million and $24.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

For certain C&I loans, all CRE loans, certain construction and land development loans, all multifamily loans, certain 1-4 family residential loans and certain consumer loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator consists of internally assigned risk ratings. Each such loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed every 15 months, at a minimum, and on an as-needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.
For certain C&I loans (including equipment financing agreements and direct financing leases), certain construction and land development, certain 1-4 family real estate loans, and certain consumer loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status. Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

The Company uses interest rate swap, cap and collar instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates.
The Company has entered into interest rate caps to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on liabilities. The liabilities consist of $300.0 million of deposits and the benchmark rates hedged vary at 1-month SOFR, 3-month SOFR and the Prime Rate. The interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815. An initial premium of $3.5 million was paid upfront for the caps executed. The details of the interest rate caps are as follows:

Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent that they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded as a component of AOCI.
The Company has also entered into interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an equal and offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. Additionally, the Company receives an upfront, non-refundable fee from the counterparty, dependent upon the pricing that is recognized upon receipt from the counterparty. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts, for the most part, offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.
Interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments are summarized as follows:

The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit ratings and financial information. Additionally, the Company manages financial institution counterparty credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, and uses ISDA master agreements, central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral agreements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps. The Company manages the risk of default by its borrower/customer counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company underwrites the combination of the base loan amount and potential swap exposure and focuses on high quality borrowers with strong collateral values. The majority of the Company’s swapped loan portfolio consists of loans on projects, with loan-to-values including the potential swap exposure that is below 65%. The Company does not currently anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE
Accounting guidance on fair value measurement uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Quoted Prices
Significant
in Active
Markets for
Observable
Unobservable
Identical Assets
Inputs
(Level 1)
(Level 2)
(Level 3)
Total assets measured at fair value
476,614
Total liabilities measured at fair value
518,591
The securities AFS portfolio consists of securities whereby the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).
Interest rate caps, swaps and collars are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on various financial assets and liabilities, further described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest rate swaps are also executed for select commercial customers. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data for derivative instruments with similar structures (Level 2 inputs).
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when a loan/lease is collaterally dependent).
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis comprised the following at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Loans/leases evaluated individually
34,091
OREO
325,141
30,765
144
30,909
Loans/leases evaluated individually are valued at the lower of cost or fair value and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans/leases. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business.
Loans receivable held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate by type and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is estimated considering the loans have a floating interest rate with a spread that is commensurate with current market pricing, in addition to factoring in a discount for credit risk.
OREO in the table above consists of property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans. Property acquired is carried at the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs, and is classified as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the property is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraise and reported values are discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the property.
The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

For the loans receivable held for sale, the Company records carrying value at fair value factoring in a discount for credit risk.
There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for any assets or liabilities measured at fair value during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 8 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance. The segments of the Company have been defined by the structure of the Company's internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company's operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters.
The Company’s Commercial Banking business is geographically divided by markets into the operating segments which are the four subsidiary banks wholly owned by the Company: QCBT, CRBT, CSB, and GB. Each of these operating segments offers similar products and services, but is managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.
The Company's All Other segment includes the corporate operations of the parent and operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds.
Selected financial information on the Company's business segments is presented as follows as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

NOTE 9 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the subsidiary banks' financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain OBS items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined by regulation. Management believes, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the following tables. The Company and the subsidiary banks’ actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2023 and
December 31, 2022 are presented in the following tables (dollars in thousands). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, each of the subsidiary banks met such capital requirements to be “well capitalized”.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the three months ending June 30, 2023. Some tables may include additional periods to comply with disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends. When reading this discussion, also refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this report. Page locations and specific sections and notes that are referred to in this discussion are listed in the table of contents.
Additionally, a comprehensive list of the acronyms and abbreviations used throughout this discussion is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
GENERAL
The Company was formed in February 1993 for the purpose of organizing QCBT. Over the past thirty years, the Company has grown to include four banking subsidiaries and a number of nonbanking subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $8.2 billion in consolidated assets, including $6.3 billion in net loans/leases, and $6.6 billion in deposits. The financial results of acquired entities for the periods since their acquisition are included in this report. Further information related to acquired entities has been presented in the annual reports previously filed with the SEC corresponding to the year of each acquisition.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance, impairment of goodwill and the fair value of financial instruments.
Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following as critical accounting policies and estimates:
A more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

STRATEGIC FINANCIAL METRICS
The Company has established certain strategic financial metrics by which it manages its business and measures its performance. The goals are periodically updated to reflect changes in business developments. While the Company is determined to work prudently to achieve these metrics, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these metrics may be affected by the factors discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” as well as the factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company's long-term strategic financial metrics are as follows:

It should be noted that these initiatives are long-term targets.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS
The Company has taken the following actions during the second quarter of 2023 to support its corporate strategy:
GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “TCE/TA ratio”, “adjusted net income”, “adjusted EPS”, “adjusted ROAA and adjusted ROAE”, “NIM (TEY)”, “adjusted NIM (TEY)” and “efficiency ratio”. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as follows:
The TCE/TA non-GAAP ratio has been a focus for investors and management believes that this ratio may assist investors in analyzing the Company’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets.
The following tables also include several “adjusted” non-GAAP measurements of financial performance. The Company’s management believes that these measures are important to investors as they exclude non-recurring income and expense items; therefore, they provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance.
NIM (TEY) is a financial measure that the Company’s management utilizes to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain tax-exempt loans and securities. It is standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures. In addition, the Company calculates NIM without the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion (adjusted NIM), as accretion amounts can fluctuate widely, making comparisons difficult.
The efficiency ratio is a ratio that management utilizes to compare the Company to its peers. It is a standard ratio used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue in the banking industry and is widely utilized by investors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have
limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

Acquisition accounting net accretion can fluctuate mostly depending on the payoff activity of the acquired loans. In evaluating net interest income and NIM, it’s important to understand the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion when comparing periods. The above table reports NIM with and without the acquisition accounting net accretion to allow for more appropriate comparisons. A comparison of acquisition accounting net accretion included in NIM is as follows:
Acquisition Accounting Net Accretion in NIM
The Company’s management closely monitors and manages NIM. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company’s subsidiary banks and leasing company is focusing on quality growth in conjunction with the improvement of their NIMs. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet strategies which include better loan pricing, reducing reliance on very rate-sensitive funding, closely managing deposit rate changes and finding additional ways to manage cost of funds through derivatives.

The Company’s operating results are also impacted by various sources of noninterest income, including trust department fees, investment advisory and management fees, deposit service fees, capital markets revenue, gains from the sales of residential real estate loans and government guaranteed loans, earnings on BOLI and other income. Offsetting these items, the Company incurs noninterest expenses, which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, professional and data processing fees, FDIC and other insurance expense, loan/lease expense and other administrative expenses.
The Company’s operating results are also affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, income tax rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest income increased $30.2 million, comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of 2022, and increased $73.3 million when comparing the first half of 2023 to the same period of 2022. Interest income (tax equivalent) increased $33.3 million, comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of 2022, and increased $79.6 million when comparing the first half of 2023 to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to the GFED acquisition, but also due to continued organic loan growth and repricing of the Company’s floating rate loan portfolio with the rapidly rising interest rates.
The Company intends to continue to grow quality loans and leases as well as its private placement tax-exempt securities portfolio to maximize yield while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.
Interest expense increased $36.4 million, comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of 2022 and increased $68.4 million, comparing the first half of 2023 to the same period of 2022. The increase is primarily due to the GFED acquisition in conjunction with a significant increase in cost of funds given the sharp rising rate environment. The Company’s cost of funds was 3.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, which was up from 0.74% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s cost of funds was 2.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was up from 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company has also experienced a shift in mix from noninterest and lower interest bearing deposits to higher cost funding.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The ACL is established through provision expense to provide an estimated ACL. The following table shows the components of the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Provision for credit losses - loans and leases
Provision for credit losses - off-balance sheet exposures
Provision for credit losses - held to maturity securities
Provision for credit losses - available for sale securities
Total provision for credit losses
The Company had total provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, which was down from $12.1 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was due to the CECL Day 2 provision of $11.2 million as a result of the GFED acquisition in April 2022. The provision related to OBS was $293 thousand for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a negative $941 thousand for the for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was due to an increase in the balance of those OBS exposures. There was no provision related to HTM securities for the second quarter of 2023 or 2022. There was no provision related to AFS securities for the second quarter of 2023 or 2022.
Provision for loans and leases for the first six months of 2023 totaled $5.8 million, which was down from $8.3 million in the first six months of 2022. The decrease in provision on loans and leases was driven by the CECL Day 2 credit loss expense recorded in 2022 of $11.2 million as a result of the GFED acquisition, offset by negative provision on other charters. The provision related to OBS was $774 thousand for the first six months of 2023 compared to a negative $8 thousand for the for the first six months of 2022. The increase was due to an increase in the balance of those OBS exposures. There was no provision related to HTM securities for the first half of 2023 or 2022. The provision related to AFS securities was $989 thousand in the first six months of 2023 as compared to no provision for the first six months of 2022. The increase was entirely due to an impairment of one subordinated debt investment in a recently failed bank in the first quarter of 2023. This was a legacy investment acquired as part of the 2022 GFED acquisition and an allowance was established for the entire balance of the investment.
The ACL for loans and leases is established based on a number of factors, including the Company's historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, economic and other forecasts, the local, state and national economies and risk associated with the loans/leases and securities in the portfolio as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” section.
The Company had an ACL for loans/leases held for investment of 1.41% of total gross loans/leases held for investment at June 30, 2023, compared to 1.43% at March 31, 2023 and 1.59% at June 30, 2022. Management has evaluated the
allowance needed on the loans acquired prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2021, factoring in the remaining discount, which was $5.1 million and $13.0 million at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
Additional discussion of the Company's allowance can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this Report.

The Company continues to be successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management increased by $569.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 and have increased by $876.7 million since June 30, 2022. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. Trust fees are primarily determined based on the market value of the investments within the fully-managed trusts. Trust fees increased 14%, comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 5% when comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022 due to market volatility. The Company expects trust fees to be negatively impacted during periods of significantly lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of significantly higher market valuations.
Investment advisory and management fees remained constant, comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and they decreased 8% when comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. Similar to trust fees, investment advisory and management fees are largely determined based on the market value of the investments managed. As a result, fee income from this line of business fluctuates with market valuations.
Deposit service fees decreased 9% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in NSF and service charge fee income. Deposit service fees increased 8% when comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. This increase was primarily due to the GFED acquisition. The Company continues to focus on expanding its core deposit base. In particular, the Company has increased the number of demand deposit accounts, which tend to be lower in interest cost and higher in service fees.
Gains on sales of residential real estate loans, net, decreased 38% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and they decreased 38% when comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased volume of residential real estate purchases and the refinancing of residential real estate loans with a sharp increase in mortgage rates.
The Company has grown its interest rate swap program significantly over the past several years. The Company’s interest rate swap program consists of back-to-back interest rate swaps with two types of commercial borrowers: (1) traditional commercial loans of a certain minimum size and sophistication, and (2) LIHTC permanent loans. Most of the growth has been in the latter category as the Company has grown relationships with strong LIHTC developers with many years of experience. The LIHTC industry is strong and growing with an increased need for affordable housing. The interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent upon the pricing.
Capital markets revenue totaled $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. Capital markets revenue totaled $39.5 million for the first half of 2023 compared to $19.4 million for the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher capital markets revenue from swap fees as the project delays our clients have been experiencing in recent quarters due to ongoing supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and higher interest rates continue to subside and continued strong demand for affordable housing that is being established by our tax credit lending clients. In the traditional commercial portfolio, the pricing is more competitive and the duration is shorter as compared to the LIHTC permanent loans. The mix of loans with interest rate swaps continued to be heavily weighted towards LIHTC permanent loans. The demand for low-income housing remains healthy and the economics associated with these tax credit projects continue to be favorable. Future levels of swap fees are dependent upon the needs of our traditional commercial and LIHTC borrowers, and the size of the related nonrefundable swap fee may fluctuate depending on the interest rate environment.
Securities gains totaled $12 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023. There were no securities gains or losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Securities losses totaled $451 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023. There were no securities gains or losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company sold $29 million of securities during the first quarter of 2023. The securities sold were part of a strategy to partially deleverage the balance sheet with an anticipated rapid earn back of the modest loss before the end of the calendar year.
Earnings on BOLI increased 139% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022 and increased 122% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. There were no purchases of BOLI in the first half of 2023. BOLI purchases totaled $10.0 million in 2022 and increased due to the GFED acquisition. Notably, a portion of the Company's BOLI is variable rate whereby returns are determined by the performance of the equity markets. Management intends to continue to review its BOLI investments to be consistent with policy and regulatory limits in conjunction with the rest of its earning assets in an effort to maximize returns while minimizing risk.
Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees increased 6% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 22% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the GFED acquisition. The fees can vary based on
customer debit card usage, so fluctuations from period to period may occur. As an opportunity to maximize fees, the Company offers a deposit product with a higher interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity.
Correspondent banking fees increased 46% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 43% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a shift of correspondent banking balances from non-interest bearing accounts to interest bearing accounts. Fees from correspondent banks generally increase when non-interest bearing account balances decrease. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as well as a steady source of fee income. The Company now serves approximately 181 banks in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.
Loan-related fee income increased 13% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 22% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loan volume with the GFED acquisition.
Fair value gain on derivatives was $83 thousand in gains in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $432 thousand in gains in the same period of the prior year. Fair value loss on derivatives was $344 thousand in the first half of 2023 as compared to $1.3 million in fair value gain on derivatives in the first half of 2022. The decrease was due to the rapidly rising interest rate environment. The Company uses cap instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other noninterest income decreased 70% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year. Other noninterest income increased 90% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher income on equity investments.

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency. One-time charges relating to acquisitions and post-acquisition compensation, transition, and integration cost impacted noninterest expense in 2023 and 2022.
Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased from the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2023 by 5%, and increased from the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2023 by 18%.
The increased expense was primarily related to the GFED acquisition, which resulted in an increase of 165 full-time equivalent employees.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased 2% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 21% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase was due to higher depreciation expense and computer hardware expense related to the GFED acquisition.
Professional and data processing fees decreased 7% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period in 2022, and decreased 6% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs. Management will continue to focus on minimizing such one-time costs and driving recurring costs down through contract negotiation or managed reduction in activity where costs are determined on a usage basis.
There were no acquisition costs incurred in the second quarter of 2023 or in the first six months of 2023. Acquisition costs totaled $2.0 million the second quarter of 2022 and $3.8 million the first half of 2022. The acquisition costs, comprised primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees, related to the acquisition of GFED.
There were no post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs in the second quarter of 2023 and totaled $207 thousand in the first half of 2023. Post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs totaled $4.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These costs were comprised primarily of IT integration and data conversion costs related to the acquisition of GFED.
FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense increased 38%, comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022, and increased 22% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase in expense was due to a 30% increase in the asset size of the Company and an increase in announced FDIC rates for 2023, which increased the Company’s insurance rates and expenses.
Loan/lease expense decreased 14% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same quarter of 2022, and increased 18% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of NPLs; however, it may deviate depending upon the individual NPLs.
Net income from and gains/losses on operations of other real estate includes gains/losses on the sale of OREO, write-downs of OREO and all income/expenses associated with OREO. There was no net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate for the second quarter of 2023, compared to net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $59 thousand for the second quarter of 2022. Net income from and gains/losses on operations of other real estate totaled $67 thousand for the first half of 2023, compared to net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $58 thousand for the first half of 2022.The gain on sale of OREO for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was related to the sale of three properties.
Advertising and marketing expense increased 45% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022, and increased 52% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase in expense was primarily due to the GFED acquisition.
Communication and data connectivity expense decreased 19% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to a reduction in long distance charges, cell phone and air card expenses. Communication and data connectivity expense increased 15% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase is primarily due to the GFED acquisition.
Supplies expense increased 19% comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022, and increased 21% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. This increase is primarily due to the GFED acquisition.
51
Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, increased 2% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same quarter of 2022, and increased 7% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. As transaction volumes continue to increase and the number of correspondent banking clients increases, the associated expenses are expected to also increase.
Correspondent banking expense increased 4% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022, and increased 5% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. These are direct costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, including safekeeping and cash management services.
Intangibles amortization expense decreased 3% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same quarter of 2022, and increased 20% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase is due to the GFED acquisition. These expenses will naturally decrease as intangibles become fully amortized unless there is an addition to intangible assets.
Payment card processing expense decreased 13% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 due to the same quarter of 2022. The decrease was due to initial accrual adjustments made in the second quarter of 2022 related to the Company’s net business credit card program. Payment card processing expensed increased 22% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022 due to the GFED acquisition.
Trust expense increased 73% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same quarter of 2022, and increased 44% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022. The increase was due to new relationships added in 2023 totaling $861.0 million of new assets under management as well as costs for a conversion to a new core system.
Other noninterest expense increased 8% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2022, and increased 19% comparing the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2022, primarily due to the GFED acquisition. Included in other noninterest expense are items such as meals and entertainment, subscriptions, sales and use tax and expenses related to wealth management.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company's total assets increased $189.8 million, or 2%, from March 31, 2023, to a total of $8.2 billion. The Company’s net loans/leases increased $190.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. Total deposits increased $105.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in net loans/leases was driven primarily by strength in our low-income housing tax credit lending business. The Company also experienced improved loan demand in the second quarter of 2023 from its traditional commercial lending/leasing businesses. The increase in total deposits was primarily a growth in core deposits building upon our strong and diversified deposit franchise.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on interest rate risk, maximizing return and minimizing credit risk. Over the years, the Company has further diversified the portfolio by decreasing U.S government sponsored agency securities and increasing residential mortgage-backed and related securities and tax-exempt municipal securities. Of the latter, the majority are privately placed tax-exempt debt issuances by municipalities located in the Midwest (with some in or near the Company's existing markets) that require a thorough underwriting process before investment and are generated by our specialty finance group.
Following is a breakdown of the Company's securities portfolio by type, the percentage of unrealized gains (losses) to carrying value, net of allowance for credit losses, on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

As CRE loans have historically been the Company's largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on monitoring the composition of the Company's CRE loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied CRE loans relative to non-owner-occupied loans because owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, approximately 15% of the CRE loan portfolio (as defined below) was owner-occupied.
Following is a listing of significant industries within the Company's CRE loan portfolio. These include loans in the following portfolio segments as of June 30, 2023: CRE owner occupied, CRE non-owner occupied, certain construction and land development, multifamily and certain 1-4 family real estate. Within the CRE Loan portfolio, there is minimal office exposure, totaling $184.2 million or 2.9% of total loans at June 30, 2023.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS/LEASES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET EXPOSURES
The adequacy of the ACL was determined by management based on factors that included the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, historical loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, government guarantees and other factors that, in management's judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate ACL was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio is reviewed and analyzed quarterly with specific detailed reviews completed on all credits risk-rated less than “fair quality”, as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $250 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored by the credit administration staff and reported to management and the board of directors.
Changes in the ACL for loans/leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented as follows:
The Company's levels of criticized and classified loans are reported in the following table.

Although management believes that the ACL at June 30, 2023 was at a level adequate to absorb losses on existing loans/leases, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provisions in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision for credit losses. Asset quality is a priority for the Company and its subsidiaries. The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon the ability to maintain that quality. The Company continually focuses efforts at its subsidiary banks and leasing company with the intention to improve the overall quality of the Company's loan/lease portfolio.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company's ACL.

NPAs at June 30, 2023 were $26.1 million, up $3.1 million from March 31, 2023, and $2.1 million from June 30, 2022. Approximately half of total NPAs consist of one credit and the Company believes this credit will be resolved later this year without a loss. The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.32% at June 30, 2023, up from 0.29% at March 31, 2023, and down from 0.33% at June 30, 2022.
The majority of the NPAs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases. For nonaccrual loans/leases, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.
OREO is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
The Company's lending/leasing practices remain unchanged and asset quality remains a priority for management.
DEPOSITS
Deposits increased $105.1 million during the second quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s deposits, excluding brokered deposits, grew $339.3 million to a total of $6.2 billion, or 23.0% on an annualized basis. With the growth of deposits in the second quarter, the Company reduced short-term brokered deposits by $234.2 million throughout the second quarter.

Total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits represented 19.9% of total consolidated deposits at June 30, 2023. The Company maintained approximately $1.6 billion of immediately available liquidity at quarter-end with excess cash and borrowing capacity at FHLB and FRB as well as a $50.0 million revolving line of credit. Immediately available liquidity more than covers the Company’s uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.
The Company actively participates in the ICS/CDARS program which is a trusted resource that provides FDIC insurance coverage for clients that maintain larger deposit balances. Deposits in the ICS/CDARS program totaled $2.0 billion, or 29.8% of all deposits, as of June 30, 2023.
The Company’s correspondent bank deposit portfolio and funds managed consists of the following:
Management will continue to focus on growing its core deposit portfolio, including its correspondent banking business at QCBT, as well as shifting the mix from brokered and other higher cost deposits to lower cost core deposits. With the significant success achieved by QCBT in growing its correspondent banking business, QCBT has developed procedures
to proactively monitor this industry concentration of deposits and loans. Other deposit-related industry concentrations and large accounts are monitored by the internal asset liability management committees.
BORROWINGS
The subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the FRB or from their correspondent banks. The table below presents the composition of the Company's short-term borrowings.
Federal funds purchased
1,070
The Company's federal funds purchased fluctuate based on the short-term funding needs of the Company's subsidiary banks.
As a result of their memberships in the FHLB of Des Moines, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. The subsidiary banks can utilize FHLB advances for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of changing interest rates and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.
The table below presents the Company's FHLB advances.
Term FHLB advances
Overnight FHLB advances
400,000
The Company had no change in term or overnight FHLB advances from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023.
It is management's intention to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as wholesale funding tends to be higher cost. However, the Company may choose to utilize advances and/or brokered deposits to supplement funding needs, as this is a way for the Company to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate risk.
The table below presents the maturity schedule including weighted average interest cost for the Company's combined wholesale funding portfolio (defined as FHLB advances and brokered deposits).

During the first six months of 2023, wholesale funding decreased $16.7 million due to intentionally bolstering on-balance sheet liquidity and fully eliminating overnight borrowings from the FHLB.
The Company renewed its revolving credit note in the second quarter of 2023 At renewal, the line amount totaled $50.0 million. Interest on the revolving line of credit was calculated at the greater of: (a) the effective Prime Rate less 0.50% and (b) 3.00% per annum. The collateral on the revolving line of credit is 100% of the outstanding stock of the Company’s bank subsidiaries. There was no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2023.

AOCI decreased $6.3 million during the second quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in the value of the Company’s AFS securities portfolio and certain derivatives resulting from the change in interest rates during the second quarter.
On May 19, 2022, the board of directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time as the Company deems appropriate, up to 1,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, or approximately 10% of the outstanding shares as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had purchased 745,000 shares under the program and all shares purchased have been retired.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customer credit needs. The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis. The Company seeks to avoid an over-concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable. One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $259.1 million at June 30, 2023. The Company’s liquidity sources as of June 30, 2023 are summarized as follows:
(dollars in billions)
Excess cash

Total available liquidity excluding unpledged AFS/HTM securities
Including unpledged AFS and HTM securities of approximately $834 million, the Company’s total liquidity is strong at over 50% of total assets.
The subsidiary banks have a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to them, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, brokered deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities AFS, and loan/lease participations or sales. The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio, and on the regular monthly payments on its securities portfolio.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s core deposits, excluding brokered deposits, grew $339.3 million to a total of $6.2 billion, or 23.0% on an annualized basis. Total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits represented 19.9% of total consolidated deposits. The Company maintained approximately $1.6 billion of immediately available liquidity at quarter-end which more than covers the Company’s uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.
The Company has emphasized growing the number and amount of lines of credit in an effort to strengthen this contingent source of liquidity.
At June 30, 2023, the subsidiary banks had 26 unsecured lines of credit totaling $450.8 million with upstream correspondent banks. The subsidiary banks also had availability of $190.3 million with the FRB which was secured. At June 30, 2023, the Company had the full $641.1 million available.
At December 31, 2022, the subsidiary banks had 27 unsecured lines of credit totaling $470.8 million with upstream correspondent banks. The subsidiary banks also had availability of $31.0 million with the FRB which was secured. At December 31, 2022, $372.8 million of the $501.8 million was available.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $494.3 million in actual correspondent banking deposits spread over 181 relationships. While the Company believes that these funds are relatively stable, there is the potential for large fluctuations that can impact liquidity. Seasonality and the liquidity needs of these correspondent banks can impact balances. Management closely monitors these fluctuations and runs stress scenarios to measure the impact on liquidity and interest rate risk with various levels of correspondent deposit run-off.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates. The Company's net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.
In an attempt to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank's interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank.
Internal asset/liability management teams consisting of members of the subsidiary banks' management meet bi-weekly to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks. Management also reviews the subsidiary banks' securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board's objectives in an effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company's interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.
In adjusting the Company's asset/liability position, the board of directors and management attempt to manage the Company's interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board of directors and management may decide to increase the Company's interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.
One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure annually over a five-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, no balance sheet mix change, and various interest rate scenarios including no change in rates; 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point upward and downward shifts; where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date.
The model assumes parallel and pro rata shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period for the 100, 200 and 300 basis point upward and downward shifts. For the 400 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twenty-four month period.
Further, in recent years, the Company added additional interest rate scenarios where interest rates experience a parallel and instantaneous shift (a “shock”) upward and downward of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points. The Company will run additional interest rate scenarios on an as-needed basis.
The asset/liability management committees of the subsidiary bank boards of directors have established policy limits of a 10% decline in net interest income for the 200-basis point upward and downward parallel shift. For the 300-basis point upward and downward shock, the established policy limit is a 30% decline in net interest income. The increased policy limit is appropriate as the shock scenario is extreme and unlikely and warrants a higher limit than the more realistic and traditional parallel/pro-rata shift scenarios.
Application of the simulation model analysis for select interest rate scenarios at the most recent quarter-end available is presented in the following table:

With the shift in funding from non-interest bearing and lower beta deposits to higher beta deposits, the Company’s balance sheet is now modestly liability sensitive. Notably, management is conservative with the repricing assumptions on loans and deposits. For example, management does not model any delay in loan and deposit betas despite historical experience and practice of delays in deposit betas. Additionally, management does not model mix shift or growth in its standard scenarios which can be impactful. As an alternative, management runs separate scenarios to capture the impact on delayed beta performance and various shifts in mix of loans and deposits. Finally, management models a variety of scenarios including some that stress key assumptions to help capture and isolate the impact of the management’s more conservative approach to the assumptions in the base model.
The simulation is within the board-established policy limits for all three scenarios. Additionally, for all of the various interest rate scenarios modeled and measured by management (as described above), the results at June 30, 2023 were within established risk tolerances as established by policy or by best practice (if the interest rate scenario didn't have a specific policy limit).
Interest rate risk is considered to be one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company. For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and its risk management system to monitor and control the Company's interest rate risk exposure. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's business activities.
