NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
JUNE 30, 2020
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial data as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of Community Bank System, Inc. (the “Company”), the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
NOTE B: ACQUISITIONS
On June 12, 2020, the Company completed its merger with Steuben Trust Corporation (“Steuben”), parent company of Steuben Trust Company, a New York State chartered bank headquartered in Hornell, New York, for $98.6 million in Company stock and cash, comprised of $21.6 million in cash and the issuance of 1.36 million shares of common stock. The merger extends the Company’s footprint into two new counties in Western New York State, and enhances the Company’s presence in four Western New York State counties in which it currently operates. In connection with the merger, the Company added 11 full-service offices to its branch service network and acquired $610.1 million of assets, including $339.7 million of loans and $180.5 million of investment securities, as well as $516.3 million of deposits. Goodwill of $19.2 million was recognized as a result of the merger. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues, excluding interest income on acquired investments, interest income on acquired consumer indirect loans, and revenues associated with acquired loans and deposits consolidated into the legacy branch network, of approximately $0.6 million, and direct expenses, which may not include certain shared expenses, of approximately $0.3 million from Steuben were included in the consolidated income statement for three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company expects to incur certain one-time, transaction-related costs in 2020 in connection with the Steuben acquisition.
On September 18, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary, Community Investment Services, Inc. (“CISI”), completed its acquisition of certain assets of a practice engaged in the financial services business headquartered in Syracuse, New York. The Company paid $0.5 million in cash to acquire a customer list, and recorded a $0.5 million customer list intangible asset in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.
On July 12, 2019, the Company completed its merger with Kinderhook Bank Corp. (“Kinderhook”), parent company of The National Union Bank of Kinderhook, headquartered in Kinderhook, New York, for $93.4 million in cash. The merger added 11 branch locations across a five county area in the Capital District of Upstate New York. The merger resulted in the acquisition of $642.8 million of assets, including $479.9 million of loans and $39.8 million of investment securities, as well as $568.2 million of deposits. Goodwill of $40.0 million was recognized as a result of the merger. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Revenues, excluding interest income on acquired investments, of approximately $4.4 million, and direct expenses, which may not include certain shared expenses, of approximately $1.7 million from Kinderhook were included in the consolidated income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues, excluding interest income on acquired investments, of approximately $8.9 million, and direct expenses, which may not include certain shared expenses, of approximately $3.6 million from Kinderhook were included in the consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
On January 2, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary, CISI, completed its acquisition of certain assets of Wealth Resources Network, Inc. (“Wealth Resources”), a financial services business headquartered in Liverpool, New York. The Company paid $1.2 million in cash to acquire a customer list from Wealth Resources, and recorded a $1.2 million customer list intangible asset in conjunction with the acquisition. The effects of the acquired assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.
The assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management’s best estimates using information available at the dates of the acquisitions, and were subject to adjustment based on updated information not available at the time of the acquisitions. Prepaid pension, other real estate owned, accrued income taxes, and deferred taxes associated with the Steuben acquisition were recorded on a provisional basis and could vary from the actual recorded balance once finalized. During the fourth quarter of 2019, associated with the Kinderhook acquisition, the carrying amount of deposits increased by $0.08 million, loans decreased by $0.05 million, other liabilities increased by $0.04 million, other assets decreased by $0.04 million, and accrued interest and fees receivable increased by $0.01 million as a result of updated information not available at the time of acquisition. Goodwill associated with the Kinderhook acquisition increased by $0.2 million as a result of these adjustments. During the first quarter of 2020, the carrying amount of other liabilities associated with the Kinderhook acquisition decreased by $0.3 million as a result of an adjustment to accrued income taxes and deferred income taxes. Goodwill associated with the Kinderhook acquisition decreased $0.3 million as a result of this adjustment.

(1) Includes amounts related to both acquisitions completed by CISI in 2019.
(2) Acquisition-related allowance for credit losses on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans applicable beginning in 2020.
Under ASC 310-30, acquired loans that have evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments were aggregated by comparable characteristics and recorded at fair value without a carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. Cash flows for each loan were determined using an estimate of credit losses and rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a market-based discount rate. The excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized into interest income over the remaining lives of the acquired loans.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which replaces the ASC 310-30 acquired impaired loans methodology described above with the purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) methodology discussed in Note C: Accounting Policies.
The Company has acquired loans from Steuben for which there was evidence of a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. There were no investment securities acquired from Steuben for which there was evidence of a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. The carrying amount of those loans is as follows at the date of acquisition:

(000s omitted) |  | PCD Loans |
Par value of PCD loans at acquisition |  | $ | 24,198 |
Allowance for credit losses at acquisition |  |  | (528 | )
Non-credit discount at acquisition |  |  | (80 | )
Fair value of PCD loans at acquisition |  | $ | 23,590 |

The following is a summary of the remaining loans acquired from Steuben for which there was no evidence of a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination at the date of acquisition:

(000s omitted) |  | Non-PCD Loans |
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition |  | $ | 416,446 |
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected |  |  | (3,177 | )

The fair value of the Company’s common stock issued for the Steuben acquisition was determined using the market close price of the stock on June 12, 2020.
The fair value of checking, savings and money market deposit accounts acquired were assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificate of deposit accounts were valued at the present value of the certificates’ expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for similar certificates. The fair value of subordinated notes payable was estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates being offered on similar securities.
Subordinated notes payable assumed with the Kinderhook acquisition included $3.0 million of subordinated notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.0% maturing in February 2028 and $10.0 million of subordinated notes with a fixed interest rate of 6.375% maturing in November 2025.
The core deposit intangibles and other intangibles related to the Steuben acquisition, both acquisitions completed by CISI in 2019 and the Kinderhook acquisition are being amortized using an accelerated method over their estimated useful life of eight years. The goodwill, which is not amortized for book purposes, was assigned to the Banking segment for the Steuben and Kinderhook acquisitions. Goodwill arising from the Steuben and Kinderhook acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.
Direct costs related to the acquisitions were expensed as incurred. Merger and acquisition integration-related expenses amount to $3.4 million and $3.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and have been separately stated in the consolidated statements of income. Merger and acquisition integration-related expenses amount to $1.2 million and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and have been separately stated in the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE C: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Company, as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented on pages 65 through 75 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2020 except as noted below. The accounting policies of the Company effective for the comparative periods presented prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) are presented on the Form 10-K referenced above.
The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, the extent to which it will impact national and international macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, unemployment rates, the speed of the anticipated recovery, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for credit losses, decrease in fee and interest income, and the carrying value of the goodwill and other long-lived assets. While there was not a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Investment Securities
The Company can classify its investments in debt securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Held-to-maturity securities are those for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, and are reported at cost, which is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. The Company did not use the held-to-maturity classification in 2019 or through June 30, 2020. Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of applicable income taxes. None of the Company’s investment securities have been classified as trading securities at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Certain equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value are stated at cost, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These securities include restricted stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“Federal Reserve”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (collectively referred to as “FHLB”), as well as other equity securities.
Fair values for investment securities are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based upon quoted market prices of comparable instruments, or a discounted cash flow model using market estimates of interest rates and volatility.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Debt Securities
For held-to-maturity debt securities, the Company measures expected credit losses on a collective basis by major security type. The estimates of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities is excluded from the estimates of credit losses.
For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the security structure, recent security collateral performance metrics, if applicable, external credit ratings, failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, judgment about and expectations of future performance, and relevant independent industry research, analysis, and forecasts. The severity of the impairment and the length of time the security has been impaired is also considered in the assessment. This assessment involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment that is based on the information available to management at a point in time. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities, included in accrued interest and fees receivable on the consolidated statements of condition, totaled $11.4 million at June 30, 2020 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs.
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value and are included in loans held for sale on the consolidated statements of condition. Fair values for variable rate loans that reprice frequently are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amount outstanding. Nonrefundable loan fees and related direct costs are deferred and included in the loan balances where they are amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to loan yield using the effective yield method. Premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized using the effective yield method over the life of the loans.
Accrued interest receivable on loans, included in accrued interest and fees receivable on the consolidated statements of condition, totaled $23.7 million at June 30, 2020 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and amortized cost basis of loans. An allowance for credit losses is not measured for accrued interest receivable on loans as the Company writes off the uncollectible accrued interest balance in a timely manner.
The Company places a loan on nonaccrual status when the loan becomes 90 days past due (or sooner, if management concludes collection is doubtful), except when, in the opinion of management, it is well-collateralized and in the process of collection. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status earlier than 90 days past due if there is deterioration in the financial position of the borrower or if other conditions of the loan so warrant. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, uncollected accrued interest is reversed against interest income and the amortization of nonrefundable loan fees and related direct costs is discontinued. Interest income during the period the loan is on nonaccrual status is recorded on a cash basis after recovery of principal is reasonably assured. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when management determines that the borrower’s performance has improved and that both principal and interest are collectible. This generally requires a sustained period of timely principal and interest payments and a well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition.
The Company’s charge-off policy by loan type is as follows:

| • | Business lending loans are generally charged-off to the extent outstanding principal exceeds the fair value of estimated proceeds from collection efforts, including liquidation of collateral. The charge-off is recognized when the loss becomes reasonably quantifiable.

| • | Consumer installment loans are generally charged-off to the extent outstanding principal exceeds the fair value of collateral, and are recognized by the end of the month in which the loan becomes 90 days past due.

| • | Consumer mortgage and home equity loans are generally charged-off to the extent outstanding principal exceeds the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell, and are recognized when the loan becomes 180 days past due.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is netted against the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, acquired loans, delinquency level, risk ratings or term of loans as well as changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values such as home prices, commercial real estate prices and automobile prices, gross domestic product, recession probability, and other relevant factors.

Table of Contents
The segments of the Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated into the following classes that allow management to monitor risk and performance:

| • | Business lending is comprised of general purpose commercial and industrial loans including, but not limited to agricultural-related and dealer floor plans, loans to not-for-profit enterprises, as well as mortgages on commercial property and Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. The portfolio segment is further broken into portfolio classes based on risks associated with the collateral supporting the loans. Each class of business lending can also have different payment structures. Business lending loans are generally higher dollar loans and a large portion are risk rated at least annually.

| • | Consumer mortgages consist primarily of fixed rate residential instruments, typically 10 – 30 years in contractual term, secured by first liens on real property. FICO scores are used to monitor higher risks related to this type of lending with FICO AB referring to higher tiered loans with FICO scores greater than or equal to 720 as compared to FICO CDE with lower FICO scores less than 720 and potentially higher risk.

| • | Consumer indirect consists primarily of installment loans originated through selected dealerships and are generally secured by automobiles, marine and other recreational vehicles. Collateral securing the loans was used to further disaggregate this portfolio as charge-offs can vary depending on the purpose of the loan. Non-auto loans often have longer terms, and generally have higher risk due to declines in collateral value given the nature of the property.

| • | Consumer direct consists of all other loans to consumers such as personal installment loans and check credit lines of credit.

| • | Home equity products are installment loans or lines of credit most often secured by a first or second lien position on residential real estate with terms up to 30 years.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist, including collateral type, credit ratings/scores, size, duration, interest rate structure, industry, geography, origination vintage, and payment structure. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and classes and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods:

Loan Portfolio Segment | Loan Portfolio Class | Allowance for Credit Losses Methodology
Business lending | Commercial real estate multi family | Cumulative loss rate
Business lending | Commercial real estate non-owner occupied | Cumulative loss rate
Business lending | Commercial real estate owner occupied | Cumulative loss rate
Business lending | Commercial and industrial loans | Vintage loss rate
Business lending | Commercial and industrial lines of credit | Line loss
Business lending | Municipal | Cumulative loss rate
Business lending | Other business | Cumulative loss rate
Business lending | Paycheck Protection Program | Cumulative loss rate
Consumer mortgage | Consumer mortgage FICO AB | Cumulative loss rate
Consumer mortgage | Consumer mortgage FICO CDE | Cumulative loss rate
Consumer indirect | Indirect new auto | Vintage loss rate
Consumer indirect | Indirect used auto | Vintage loss rate
Consumer indirect | Indirect non-auto | Vintage loss rate
Consumer direct | Consumer check credit | Line loss
Consumer direct | Consumer direct | Vintage loss rate
Home equity | Home equity fixed rate | Vintage loss rate
Home equity | Home equity lines of credit | Line loss

The cumulative loss rate method uses historical loss data applied against multiple pools of loans and uses a quantitatively based management overlay in order to capture the risk for a loan’s entire expected life. These loss rates are then applied to current balances to achieve a required reserve before qualitative adjustments.
The line loss method calculates the quantitative required reserve for lines of credit. This method contains several different underlying calculations including average annual loss rate, pay-down rate, cumulative loss, average draw percentage, and undrawn liability reserve.
The vintage loss rate method calculates annual loss rates by origination year. The results of this model are then applied to outstanding balances, which correspond to the origination period for each annual loss rate.
In addition to the risk characteristics noted above, management considers the portion of acquired loans to the overall segment balance, as well as current delinquency and charge-off trends compared to historical time periods.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Table of Contents
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans and adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
Certain business lending, consumer direct, and home equity loans do not have stated maturities. In determining the estimated life of these loans, management first estimates the future cash flows expected to be received and then applies those expected future cash flows to the balance. Expected credit losses for lines of credit with no stated maturity are determined by estimating the amount and timing of all principal payments expected to be received after the reporting period and allocating those principal payments between the balance outstanding as of the reporting period and the balance of future receivables expected to be originated through subsequent usage of the unconditionally cancellable loan commitment associated with the account until the expected payments have been fully allocated. An additional allowance for credit loss is recorded for the excess of the balance outstanding as of the reporting period over the expected principal payments allocated to that balance.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The allowance for credit loss on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans, except when the value of a concession cannot be measured using a method other than the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the allowance for credit loss is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original interest rate of the loan. Refer to Note E: Loans for the Company’s policy regarding COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Off-balance-sheet credit exposures
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. There are unfunded commitments for lines of credit within each of the Company’s loan portfolio segments except consumer indirect. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics that are the same as the adjustments considered for the loan portfolio.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated (PCD) Loans
The Company has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. The Company’s policy for reviewing what meets the threshold of the definition of a more than insignificant credit deterioration includes loans that are delinquent more than 30 days, loans that have historical delinquencies of more than 30 days at least three times since origination, risk rating downgrades since origination, loans with multiple payment deferrals, loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings, specifically impaired loans or loans with certain documented policy exceptions, further refined based on loan-specific facts and circumstances. PCD loans are initially recorded at the amount paid. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit losses.
Contract Balances
A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2020, $25.3 million of accounts receivable, including $7.6 million of unbilled fee revenue, and $1.6 million of unearned revenue was recorded in the consolidated statements of condition. As of December 31, 2019, $26.8 million of accounts receivable, including $7.5 million of unbilled fee revenue, and $1.8 million of unearned revenue was recorded in the consolidated statements of condition.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU No. 2016-13”). This new guidance significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. This ASU replaces the incurred loss methodology with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology for instruments measured at amortized cost, and requires entities to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do under the other-than-temporary impairment model. CECL simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans and also applies to off-balance-sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance. CECL requires adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net cumulative-effect adjustment that increased retained earnings by $0.5 million. This adjustment was a result of a $1.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses and a $3.1 million adjustment to loans, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in other liabilities related to the allowance for off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 did not result in a material allowance for credit losses on the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities or its other instruments carried at amortized cost. The Company’s regulators will permit financial institutions to “phase-in” the impact of CECL on its regulatory capital ratios for up to 5 years with transitional relief of incremental capital requirements. The Company did not utilize the phased-in approach and recorded the entire cumulative-effect adjustment against its regulatory capital at the time of adoption.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with this standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $3.1 million of the allowance for credit losses. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized cost basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate beginning on January 1, 2020.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The amendments simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to measure a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Impairment loss recognized under this new guidance will be limited to the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This ASU is effective prospectively for the Company for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820). The updated guidance removed the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The updated guidance clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurements as of the reporting date. Further, the updated guidance requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and how the weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements was calculated. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (Subtopic 715-20). The updated guidance removed the requirements to identify amounts that are expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in the next fiscal year, as well as the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on service and interest cost and on the postretirement benefit obligation. The updated guidance added disclosure requirements for the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with interest crediting rates, and explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This new guidance is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The updated guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The unrealized losses reported pertaining to securities issued by the U.S. government and its sponsored entities, include treasuries, agencies, and mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, which are currently rated AAA by Moody’s Investor Services, AA+ by Standard & Poor’s and are guaranteed by the U.S. government. The majority of the obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporations carry a credit rating of A or better. Additionally, a majority of the obligations of state and political subdivisions carry a secondary level of credit enhancement. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost. Timely principal and interest payments continue to be made on the securities. The unrealized losses in the portfolios are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. As such, management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2020 represents credit losses and no unrealized losses have been recognized into the provision for credit losses. Accordingly, there is no allowance for credit losses on the Company’s available-for-sale portfolio as of June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, management did not believe any individual unrealized loss represents other-than-temporary impairment.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

(1) | Acquired impaired loans were not classified as nonperforming assets as the loans are considered to be performing under ASC 310-30. As a result interest income, through the accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cashflows, is being recognized on all acquired impaired loans.

The delinquency status for loans on payment deferment due to COVID-19 financial hardship were reported at June 30, 2020 based on their delinquency status at the end of the first quarter, unless subsequent to March 31, 2020, the borrower made all required past due payments to bring the loan to current status.
No interest income on nonaccrual loans was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. An immaterial amount of accrued interest was written off on nonaccrual loans by reversing interest income.
The Company uses several credit quality indicators to assess credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company’s primary credit quality indicator for its business lending portfolio is an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans as “pass”, “special mention”, “classified”, or “doubtful”. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. Loans that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals were not automatically downgraded into lower credit risk ratings but will continue to be monitored for indications of deterioration that could result in future downgrades. In general, the following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass | The condition of the borrower and the performance of the loans are satisfactory or better.
Special Mention | The condition of the borrower has deteriorated although the loan performs as agreed. Loss may be incurred at some future date, if conditions deteriorate further.
Classified | The condition of the borrower has significantly deteriorated and the performance of the loan could further deteriorate and incur loss, if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful | The condition of the borrower has deteriorated to the point that collection of the balance is improbable based on current facts and conditions and loss is likely.

The following tables show the amount of business lending loans by credit quality category at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

All other loans are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, primarily payment performance, and are normally risk rated and monitored collectively on a monthly basis. These are typically loans to individuals in the consumer categories and are delineated as either performing or nonperforming. Performing loans include loans classified as current as well as those classified as 30 - 89 days past due. Nonperforming loans include 90+ days past due and still accruing and nonaccrual loans.

All loan classes are collectively evaluated for impairment except business lending. A summary of individually evaluated impaired loans as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 follows:

Contractual balance |  |  | 2,943 |  |  |  | 2,944 |
Specifically allocated allowance |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 0 |

The average carrying balance of individually evaluated impaired loans was $1.4 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The average carrying balance of individually evaluated impaired loans was $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. No interest income was recognized on individually evaluated impaired loans for the three or six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
In the course of working with borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In this scenario, the Company attempts to work-out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectability of the loan. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial standing and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two.
In accordance with the clarified guidance issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy but not reaffirmed by the borrower, are classified as TDRs, irrespective of payment history or delinquency status, even if the repayment terms for the loan have not been otherwise modified. The Company’s lien position against the underlying collateral remains unchanged. Pursuant to that guidance, the Company records a charge-off equal to any portion of the carrying value that exceeds the net realizable value of the collateral. The amount of loss incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was immaterial.
TDRs that are less than $0.5 million are collectively included in the allowance for credit loss estimate. TDRs that are commercial loans and greater than $0.5 million are individually evaluated for impairment, and if necessary, a specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses is provided. As a result, the determination of the amount of allowance for credit losses related to TDRs is the same as detailed in the critical accounting policies.
With respect to the Company’s lending activities, the Company implemented a customer payment deferral program for deferrals up to three months during the first six months of 2020 to assist both consumer and business borrowers that may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 related challenges. Business lending, consumer direct, and consumer indirect loans in deferment status will continue to accrue interest on the deferred principal during the deferment period unless otherwise classified as nonaccrual. Consumer mortgage and home equity loans will not accrue interest on the deferred payments during the deferment period. Consistent with industry regulatory guidance, borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals will continue to be reported as current loans throughout the agreed upon deferral period. These payment deferrals were also deemed to be an insignificant borrower concession, and therefore, not classified as troubled-debt restructured loans during the first six months of 2020. Borrowers that were delinquent in their payments to the Bank prior to requesting a COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferral were reviewed on a case by case basis for troubled debt restructure classification and non-performing loan status.

Under CECL, the Company utilizes the historical loss rate on its loan portfolio as the initial basis for the estimate of credit losses using the cumulative loss, vintage loss and line loss methods which is derived from the Company’s historical loss experience from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2019. Adjustments to historical loss experience were made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics and to address current period delinquencies, charge-off rates, risk ratings, lack of loan level data through an entire economic cycle, changes in loan sizes and underwriting standards as well as the addition of acquired loans which were not underwritten by the Company. The Company considered historical losses immediately prior, through and following the Great Recession of 2008 compared to the historical period used for modeling to adjust the historical information to account for longer-term expectations for loan credit performance. Under CECL, the Company is required to consider future economic conditions to determine expected losses under a life of loan concept. Management selected an eight quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a four quarter reversion to the historical mean to use as part of the economic forecast. Management determined that these qualitative adjustments were needed to adjust historical information to reflect changes as a result of current conditions.
The Company uses third party forecasted economic data scenarios utilizing a base scenario and two alternative scenarios that were weighted based on guidance from the third party provider, with forecasts available as of July 10, 2020. These forecasts included the impact of COVID-19 and were factored into the qualitative portion of the calculation of the estimated credit losses. The scenarios utilized outline a continued weakness in economic activity with peak unemployment ranging from 9% to 12% in the third quarter of 2021 and a general improvement in unemployment levels over the subsequent three quarters. In addition to the economic forecast, the Company also considered additional qualitative adjustments as a result of COVID-19 and the impact on all industries, loan deferrals, delinquencies and downgrades, the Paycheck Protection Program and the Federal stimulus package.
Management developed expected loss estimates considering factors for segments as outlined below:

| • | Business lending – non real estate: The Company considered projected unemployment and GDP as possible indicators of forecasted losses related to business lending. The Company also considered delinquencies, risk rating changes, recent charge-off history and acquired loans as part of the review of estimated losses.

| • | Business lending – real estate: The Company considered projected unemployment and real estate values as possible indicators of forecasted losses related to commercial real estate loans in addition to the factors noted in business lending – non real estate.

| • | Consumer mortgages and home equity: The Company considered projected unemployment and real estate values as possible indicators of forecasted losses related to mortgage lending. In addition, current delinquencies, charge-offs and acquired loans were considered.

| • | Consumer indirect: The Company considered projected unemployment and vehicle valuation indices as possible indicators of forecasted losses related to indirect lending. In addition, current delinquencies, charge-offs and acquired loans were considered.

| • | Consumer direct: The Company considered projected unemployment as a possible indicator of forecasted losses related to direct lending. In addition, current delinquencies, charge-offs and acquired loans were considered.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of loans purchased and sold during the six months ended June 30, 2020 by portfolio segment:

(000’s omitted) |  | Business lending |  |  | Consumer mortgage |  |  | Consumer indirect |  |  | Consumer direct |  |  | Home equity |  |  | Total |

NOTE G: MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES
As of June 30, 2020, the Company sponsors two business trusts, Community Capital Trust IV (“CCT IV”) and Steuben Statutory Trust II (“SST II”), of which 100% of the common stock is owned by the Company. The common stock of Steuben Statutory Trust II was acquired in the Steuben acquisition. The Company previously sponsored MBVT Statutory Trust I (“MBVT I”) and Kinderhook Capital Trust (“KCT”) until September 16, 2019 when the Company exercised its right to redeem all of the MBVT I and KCT debentures and associated preferred securities for a total of $20.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The common stock of MBVT I was acquired in the Merchants Bancshares, Inc. (“Merchants”) acquisition and the common stock of KCT was acquired in the Kinderhook Bank Corp. (“Kinderhook”) acquisition. The trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of such preferred securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities of the Company. The debentures held by each trust are the sole assets of such trust. Distributions on the preferred securities issued by each trust are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the trust on the debentures held by that trust and are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. The preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. The Company has entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the preferred securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees. As of June 30, 2020, the terms of the preferred securities of each trust are as follows:

Trust | Issuance Date | Par Amount | Interest Rate | Maturity Date | Call Price
CCT IV | 12/8/2006 | $75.0 million | 3 month LIBOR plus 1.65% (1.96%) | 12/15/2036 | Par
SST II | 07/16/2007 | $2.0 million | 3 month LIBOR plus 1.55% (1.86%) | 09/15/2037 | Par

NOTE H: BENEFIT PLANS
The Company provides a qualified defined benefit pension to eligible employees and retirees, other post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain retirees, an unfunded supplemental pension plan for certain key executives, and an unfunded stock balance plan for certain of its nonemployee directors. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of these benefits through charges to expense during the years that employees earn these benefits. The service cost component of net periodic benefit income is included in the salaries and employee benefits line of the consolidated statements of income, while the other components of net periodic benefit income are included in other expenses. The Company made a $3.9 million contribution to its defined benefit pension plan in the second quarter of 2020. The Company made a $7.3 million contribution to its defined benefit pension plan in the first quarter of 2019.
The net periodic benefit cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

NOTE I: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The two class method is used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company has determined that all of its outstanding non-vested stock awards are participating securities as of June 30, 2020.
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average of the common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average of the shares outstanding and the assumed exercise of stock options during the year. The dilutive effect of options is calculated using the treasury stock method of accounting. The treasury stock method determines the number of common shares that would be outstanding if all the dilutive options (those where the average market price is greater than the exercise price) were exercised and the proceeds were used to repurchase common shares in the open market at the average market price for the applicable time period. There were approximately 0.6 million weighted-average anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 0.5 million weighted-average anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 that were not included in the computation below.
The following is a reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Stock Repurchase Program
At its December 2018 meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with securities laws and regulations, through December 31, 2019. At its December 2019 meeting, the Board approved a similar program for 2020, authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2020. Any repurchased shares will be used for general corporate purposes, including those related to stock plan activities. The timing and extent of repurchases will depend on market conditions and other corporate considerations as determined at the Company’s discretion. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the authorized plan during the first six months of 2020 or 2019.
NOTE J: COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND RESTRICTIONS
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 consist primarily of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. These commitments consist principally of unused commercial and consumer credit lines. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of an underlying contract with a third party. The credit risks associated with commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness. The fair value of the standby letters of credit is immaterial for disclosure.
The contract amounts of commitments and contingencies are as follows:

(000’s omitted) |  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Commitments to extend credit |  | $ | 1,142,557 |  |  | $ | 1,143,780 |
Standby letters of credit |  |  | 39,466 |  |  |  | 37,872 |
Total |  | $ | 1,182,023 |  |  | $ | 1,181,652 |

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. As of June 30, 2020, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. The range of reasonably possible losses for matters where an exposure is not currently estimable or considered probable, beyond the existing recorded liabilities, is believed to be between $0 and $1 million in the aggregate. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigation will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future.

NOTE K: FAIR VALUE
Accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and require certain disclosures about such fair value instruments. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. exit price). Inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

• | Level 1 - | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• | Level 2 - | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
• | Level 3 - | Significant valuation assumptions not readily observable in a market.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between any of the levels for the periods presented.

Table of Contents
The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:

• | Available-for-sale investment securities and equity securities – The fair values of available-for-sale investment securities are based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using quoted market prices for similar securities or model-based valuation techniques. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury obligations and marketable equity securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities, municipal securities and corporate debt securities that are valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs, such as reported trades, trade execution data, LIBOR swap yield curve, market prepayment speeds, credit information, market spreads, and security’s terms and conditions, are observable. See Note D for further disclosure of the fair value of investment securities.

• | Mortgage loans held for sale – The Company has elected to value loans held for sale at fair value in order to more closely match the gains and losses associated with loans held for sale with the gains and losses on forward sales contracts. Accordingly, the impact on the valuation will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. All mortgage loans held for sale are current and in performing status. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary-market prices of loans with similar characteristics and, as such, has been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The unpaid principal value of mortgage loans held for sale was approximately $4.3 million at June 30, 2020. The Company did not have any mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2019. The unrealized gain on mortgage loans held for sale was recognized in mortgage banking revenues in the consolidated statements of income and is immaterial.

• | Forward sales commitments – The Company enters into forward sales commitments to sell certain residential real estate loans. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value in the other asset or other liability section of the consolidated statement of condition. The fair value of these forward sales commitments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from certain government-sponsored entities and reflects the underlying price the entity would pay the Company for an immediate sale on these mortgages. As such, these instruments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

• | Commitments to originate real estate loans for sale – The Company enters into various commitments to originate residential real estate loans for sale. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value in the other asset or other liability section of the consolidated statement of condition. The estimated fair value of these commitments is determined using quoted secondary market prices obtained from certain government-sponsored entities. Additionally, accounting guidance requires the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan to be included in the fair value measurement of the derivative. The expected net future cash flows are based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Such assumptions include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds. The determination of expected net cash flows is considered a significant unobservable input contributing to the Level 3 classification of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale.

• | Interest rate swaps – The interest rate swaps are reported at their fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs from third parties. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are determined using prices obtained from a third party advisor. The fair value measurement of the interest rate swap is determined by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves.

The changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are immaterial.
The fair value information of assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis presented below is not as of the period-end, but rather as of the date the fair value adjustment was recorded closest to the date presented.

Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using independent appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace, adjusted for non-observable inputs. Thus, the resulting nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and, therefore, such valuations are classified as Level 3.
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to OREO. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals are sometimes further 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 customer and customer’s business. Such discounts are significant, ranging from 9.4% to 85.7% at June 30, 2020 and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. OREO is reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. The Company recovers the carrying value of OREO through the sale of the property. The ability to affect future sales prices is subject to market conditions and factors beyond the Company’s control and may impact the estimated fair value of a property.
Originated mortgage servicing rights are recorded at their fair value at the time of sale of the underlying loan, and are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model incorporating inputs that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Such inputs include estimates of the cost of servicing loans, appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds and are considered to be unobservable and contribute to the Level 3 classification of mortgage servicing rights. In accordance with GAAP, the Company must record impairment charges, on a nonrecurring basis, when the carrying value of a stratum exceeds its estimated fair value. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance. There is a valuation allowance of approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company determines fair values based on quoted market values, where available, estimates of present values, or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including, but not limited to, the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets classified as Level 3 on a recurring or non-recurring basis are as follows:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that if changed could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date. The weighted average of the estimated cost of disposal/market adjustment for impaired loans was calculated by dividing the total of the book value of the collateral of the impaired loans classified as Level 3 by the total of the fair value of the collateral of the impaired loans classified as Level 3. The weighted average of the estimated cost of disposal/market adjustment for other real estate owned was calculated by dividing the total of the differences between the appraisal values of the real estate and the book values of the real estate divided by the totals of the appraisal values of the real estate.
Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

The following is a further description of the principal valuation methods used by the Company to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments.
Loans have been classified as a Level 3 valuation. Fair values for variable rate loans that reprice frequently are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Deposits have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair value of demand deposits, interest-bearing checking deposits, savings accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposit obligations are based on current market rates for similar products.
Borrowings and subordinated debt held by unconsolidated subsidiary trusts have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair value of short-term borrowings and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, short-term, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for long-term debt and subordinated debt held by unconsolidated subsidiary trusts are estimated using discounted cash flows and interest rates currently being offered on similar securities. The difference between the carrying values of long-term borrowings and subordinated debt held by unconsolidated subsidiary trusts, and their fair values, are not material as of the reporting dates.
Other financial assets and liabilities – Cash and cash equivalents have been classified as a Level 1 valuation, while accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. The fair values of each approximate the respective carrying values because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit risk and interest rate risk.

NOTE L: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of its business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments have been limited to interest rate swap agreements, commitments to originate real estate loans held for sale and forward sales commitments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
The Company enters into forward sales commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans, and interest rate lock commitments to fund loans at a specified interest rate. The forward sales commitments are utilized to reduce interest rate risk associated with interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale. Changes in the estimated fair value of the forward sales commitments and interest rate lock commitments subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time. At inception and during the life of the interest rate lock commitment, the Company includes the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan as part of the fair value measurement of the interest rate lock commitments. These derivatives are recorded at fair value, which were immaterial at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The effect of the changes to these derivatives for the three and six months then ended was also immaterial.
The Company acquired interest rate swaps in 2017 with notional amounts with certain commercial customers which totaled $15.6 million at June 30, 2020 and $16.4 million at December 31, 2019. In order to minimize the Company’s risk, these customer derivatives (pay floating/receive fixed swaps) have been offset with essentially matching interest rate swaps (pay fixed/receive floating swaps) with the Company’s counterparty totaling $15.6 million at June 30, 2020 and $16.4 million at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the weighted average receive rate of these interest rate swaps was 2.14%, the weighted average pay rate was 4.40% and the weighted average maturity was 5.6 years. At December 31, 2019, the weighted average receive rate of these interest rate swaps was 3.72%, the weighted average pay rate was 4.39% and the weighted average maturity was 6.1 years. Hedge accounting has not been applied for these derivatives. Since the terms of the swaps with the customer and the other financial institution offset each other, with the only difference being counterparty credit risk, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts are not materially different and do not significantly impact the Company's results of operations.
The Company also acquired interest rate swaps in 2017 with notional amounts totaling $5.8 million at June 30, 2020, and $6.2 million at December 31, 2019, that were designated as fair value hedges of certain fixed rate loans with municipalities which are recorded in loans in the consolidated statements of condition. At June 30, 2020, the weighted average receive rate of these interest rate swaps was 1.45%, the weighted average pay rate was 3.11% and the weighted average maturity was 13.0 years. At December 31, 2019, the weighted average receive rate of these interest rate swaps was 2.47%, the weighted average pay rate was 3.11% and the weighted average maturity was 13.5 years. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in interest and fees on loans, the same line item as the offsetting gain or loss on the related interest rate swaps. The effects of fair value accounting in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are immaterial.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the following amounts were recorded in the consolidated statement of condition related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges:

(000’s omitted) Line Item in the Consolidated Statement of Condition in Which the Hedged Item Is Included |  | Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets |  |  | Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets |

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) primarily reviews the financial condition and results of operations of Community Bank System, Inc. (the “Company” or “CBSI”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, although in some circumstances the first quarter of 2020 is also discussed in order to more fully explain recent trends. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes that appear on pages 3 through 36. All references in the discussion of the financial condition and results of operations refer to the consolidated position and results of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Unless otherwise noted, the term “this year” and equivalent terms refers to results in calendar year 2020, “second quarter” refers to the three months ended June 30, 2020, “YTD” refers to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and earnings per share (“EPS”) figures refer to diluted EPS.
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, and business of the Company. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements are set herein under the caption, “Forward-Looking Statements,” on page 57.
Critical Accounting Policies
As a result of the complex and dynamic nature of the Company’s business, management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying the most appropriate accounting policies for its various areas of operations. The policy decision process not only ensures compliance with the current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), but also reflects management’s discretion with regard to choosing the most suitable methodology for reporting the Company’s financial performance. It is management’s opinion that the accounting estimates covering certain aspects of the business have more significance than others due to the relative importance of those areas to overall performance, or the level of subjectivity in the selection process. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could meaningfully differ from these estimates. Management believes that the critical accounting estimates include the allowance for credit losses, actuarial assumptions associated with the pension, post-retirement and other employee benefit plans, the provision for income taxes, investment valuation, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and acquired loan valuations. A summary of the accounting policies used by management is disclosed in Note A, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” on pages 65-75 of the most recent Form 10-K (fiscal year ended December 31, 2019) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2020. A summary of new accounting policies used by management is disclosed in Note C, “Accounting Policies” on pages 12-17 of this Form 10-Q.
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations
The Company also provides supplemental reporting of its results on an “operating,” “adjusted” or “tangible” basis, from which it excludes the after-tax effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets (and the related goodwill, core deposit intangible and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts), accretion on non-impaired purchased loans, expenses associated with acquisitions, acquisition-related provision for credit losses, the unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and net gain on sale of investments. In addition, the Company provides supplemental reporting for “adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenues,” which excludes the provision for credit losses, acquisition expenses, net gain on sale of investments and unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities from income before income taxes. The amounts for such items are presented in the tables that accompany this release. Although these items are non-GAAP measures, the Company’s management believes this information helps investors understand the effect of acquisition and other non-recurring activity in its reported results. Diluted adjusted net earnings per share were $0.80 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $0.84 in the second quarter of 2019, a $0.04 per share, or 4.8%, decrease. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased to $1.08 per share, up $0.05, or 4.9%, from the second quarter of 2019. Reconciliations of GAAP amounts with corresponding non-GAAP amounts are presented in Table 11.

Significant factors reviewed by management to evaluate achievement of the Company’s operating objectives and its operating results and financial condition include, but are not limited to: net income and earnings per share; return on assets and equity; components of net interest margin; noninterest revenues; noninterest expenses; asset quality; loan and deposit growth; capital management; performance of individual banking and financial services units; performance of specific product lines and customers; liquidity and interest rate sensitivity; enhancements to customer products and services and their underlying performance characteristics; technology advancements; market share; peer comparisons; and the performance of recently acquired businesses.
On June 12, 2020, the Company completed its merger with Steuben Trust Corporation (“Steuben”), parent company of Steuben Trust Company, a New York State chartered bank headquartered in Hornell, New York, for $98.6 million in Company stock and cash, comprised of $21.6 million in cash and the issuance of 1.36 million shares of common stock. The merger extends the Company’s footprint into two new counties in Western New York State, and enhances the Company’s presence in four Western New York State counties in which it currently operates. In connection with the merger, the Company added 11 full-service offices to its branch service network and acquired $610.1 million of assets, including $339.7 million of loans and $180.5 million of investment securities, as well as $516.3 million of deposits. Goodwill of $19.2 million was recognized as a result of the merger.
On September 18, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary, Community Investment Services, Inc. (“CISI”), completed its acquisition of certain assets of a practice engaged in the financial services business headquartered in Syracuse, New York. The Company paid $0.5 million in cash to acquire a customer list, and recorded a $0.5 million customer list intangible asset in conjunction with the acquisition.
On July 12, 2019, the Company completed its merger with Kinderhook Bank Corp. (“Kinderhook”), parent company of The National Union Bank of Kinderhook, headquartered in Kinderhook, New York, for $93.4 million in cash. The merger added 11 branch locations across a five county area in the Capital District of Upstate New York. The merger resulted in the acquisition of $642.8 million of assets, including $479.9 million of loans and $39.8 million of investment securities, as well as $568.2 million of deposits. Goodwill of $40.0 million was recognized as a result of the merger.
On January 2, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary, CISI, completed its acquisition of certain assets of Wealth Resources Network, Inc. (“Wealth Resources”), a financial services business headquartered in Liverpool, New York. The Company paid $1.2 million in cash to acquire a customer list from Wealth Resources, and recorded a $1.2 million customer list intangible asset in conjunction with the acquisition.
Second quarter and YTD net income decreased compared to the 2019 timeframes by $9.8 million, or 21.7%, and $11.6 million, or 13.3%, respectively. Earnings per share of $0.66 for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.20 less than the second quarter of 2019, and 2020 YTD earnings per share of $1.43 was $0.23 lower than 2019 YTD earnings per share.
Second quarter and YTD net income adjusted to exclude expenses associated with acquisitions, acquisition-related provision for credit losses, the unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and net gain on sale of investments (“operating net income”) decreased $1.6 million, or 3.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2019 and decreased $3.5 million, or 4.1%, compared to June YTD 2019. Earnings per share adjusted to exclude expenses associated with acquisitions, acquisition-related provision for credit losses, the unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and net gain on sale of investments (“operating earnings per share”) of $0.76 for the second quarter decreased $0.04 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Operating earnings per share of $1.53 for the first six months of 2020 decreased $0.08 compared to the prior year period. The declines in operating net income and operating earnings per share were primarily due to expected credit losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated persistent adverse impact on economic and business operating conditions.
Second quarter and YTD net income adjusted to exclude income taxes, provision for credit losses, expenses associated with acquisitions, the unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and net gain on sale of investments (“adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue”) of $57.3 million for the second quarter increased $3.2 million, or 5.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue of $112.8 million for the first six months of 2020 increased $4.2 million, or 3.9%, as compared to the first six months of 2019. Earnings per share adjusted to exclude income taxes, provision for credit losses, expenses associated with acquisitions, the unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and net gain on sale of investments (“adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue per share”) of $1.08 for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.05 higher than the second quarter of 2019, and 2020 YTD adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue per share of $2.13 was $0.05 higher than the prior YTD period.

Loans and deposits increased on both an average and ending basis as compared to the prior year second quarter due to the Kinderhook acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, the Steuben acquisition in the second quarter of 2020 and a significant increase in government stimulus-related deposit funding, including Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) lending, in the second quarter of 2020. Market interest rates for loans, investments and deposits have decreased over the past year. In connection with these lower rates, the Company’s interest-earning asset yield for the first six months of 2020 decreased 33 basis points from the year-earlier period, as the rate earned on loans and investments both decreased from the prior year period. The Company’s total cost of funds for the first six months of 2020 decreased two basis points from the year earlier period, as the Company’s deposit funding cost and the rate on borrowings both decreased from the prior year period. The majority of borrowings are customer repurchase agreements, rather than wholesale borrowings obtained through capital markets and correspondent banks. Customer repurchase agreements have deposit-like features and typically bear lower rates of interest than other types of wholesale borrowings.
The provision for credit losses of $9.8 million for the second quarter and $15.4 million for YTD 2020, were $8.4 million and $11.5 million higher than comparable prior year periods, respectively. The increase was driven by $3.2 million of acquisition-related provision due to the Steuben transaction and an increase in expected credit losses largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net charge-offs were $0.9 million for the second quarter and $2.5 million for the first six months of 2020, compared to $1.2 million of net charge-offs for the prior year second quarter and $3.8 million for the first six months of 2019. Second quarter 2020 nonperforming loan ratios generally improved in comparison to the second quarter of 2019.
COVID-19 Pandemic
As the COVID-19 events unfolded throughout the first half of 2020, the Company implemented various plans, strategies and protocols to protect its employees, maintain services for customers, assure the functional continuity of the Company’s operating systems, controls and processes, and mitigate financial risks posed by changing market conditions. In order to protect its employees and assure workforce continuity and operational redundancy, the Company imposed business travel restrictions, implemented quarantine and work from home protocols and physically separated, to the extent possible, the critical operations workforce that are unable to work remotely. To limit the risk of virus spread, the Company implemented drive-thru only and by appointment operating protocols for its extensive bank branch network. The Company also maintained active communications with its primary regulatory agencies and critical vendors to assure all mission-critical activities and functions are being performed in line with regulatory expectations and the Company’s service standards. Late in the second quarter, the Company implemented a return-to-work plan and currently has the majority of its employees working in a traditional office environment. In addition, it re-opened the substantial majority of its customer service facilities to the public.
Although there is a high degree of uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s management believes that its financial position, including high levels of capital, will allow it to successfully endure the negative economic impacts of the crisis. The Company’s capital planning and management activities, coupled with its historically strong earnings performance and prudent dividend practices, have allowed it to build and maintain strong capital reserves. Shareholders’ equity of $2.08 billion at June 30, 2020 was $104.7 million, or 5.3%, higher than the first quarter of 2020 and $271.8 million, or 15.0%, higher than June 30, 2019. The increase in shareholders’ equity over the last four quarters was primarily driven by earnings retention, as well as the Steuben acquisition and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due primarily to an increase in net unrealized gains on the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. At June 30, 2020, all of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios significantly exceeded well-capitalized standards. More specifically, the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, a common measure to evaluate a financial institutions capital strength, was 10.79% at June 30, 2020, which represents over two times the regulatory well-capitalized standard of 5.0%. This compares to 11.54% at the end of the second quarter of 2019 and 11.10% at the end of the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s net tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio was 10.08% at June 30, 2020, down from 10.56% a year earlier and 10.78% at the end of the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in the net tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was due to significant growth in total assets between the comparable periods.
The Company’s liquidity position remains extremely strong. The Bank, the Company’s primary subsidiary, maintains a funding base largely comprised of core noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts and low cost interest-bearing savings, interest checking and money market deposit accounts with customers that operate, reside or work within its branch footprint. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances, net of float, were $1.25 billion. The Company also maintains an available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, comprised primarily of highly-liquid U.S. Treasury securities, highly-rated municipal securities and U.S. agency-backed mortgage backed securities. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities portfolio totaled $3.29 billion, $1.62 billion of which was unpledged as collateral. Net unrealized gains on the portfolio were $163.1 million. The Bank’s unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York at June 30, 2020 was $1.80 billion and it maintained $259.8 million of availability at the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window. Furthermore, the Company has not experienced significant draws on available working capital lines of credit and home equity lines of credit or observed any significant or unusual customer activity that portends unmanageable levels of the stress on the Company’s liquidity profile since the inception of the pandemic.

The Company also has participated in both rounds of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) PPP, a specialized low-interest loan program funded by the U.S. Treasury Department and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP provides borrower guarantees for lenders, as well as loan forgiveness incentives for borrowers that utilize the loan proceeds to cover employee compensation-related business operating costs. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s business lending portfolio included 3,473 PPP loans with a total balance of $507.2 million. This includes 204 loans with a total balance of $14.8 million acquired in connection with the Steuben acquisition. The Company experienced high levels of customer utilization of the PPP loan program, but also believes its liquidity resources are more than sufficient to meet the funding requirements of its borrowers.
From a credit risk and lending perspective, the Company has taken actions to identify, assess and monitor its COVID-19 related credit exposures based on asset class and borrower type. No specific credit impairment has been identified within the Company’s investment securities portfolio, including the Company’s municipal securities portfolio since the onset of the pandemic. With respect to the Company’s lending activities, the Company implemented a customer forbearance program to assist both consumer and business borrowers that may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 related challenges. The Company processed more than 5,000 borrower forbearance requests granting approximately $900 million in deferrals through the first six months of the year. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately 3,700 borrowers in forbearance due to COVID-19, representing approximately $700 million in outstanding loan balances, or 9.3% of total loans outstanding. These forbearances were comprised of approximately 1,300 business borrowers representing approximately $590 million in outstanding loan balances and 2,400 consumer borrowers representing approximately $110 million in outstanding loan balances. Business lending, consumer direct, and consumer indirect loans in deferment status will continue to accrue interest on the deferred principal during the deferment period unless otherwise classified as nonaccrual. Consumer mortgage and home equity loans will not accrue interest on the deferred payments during the deferment period. Consistent with industry regulatory guidance, borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals will continue to be reported as current loans throughout the agreed upon deferral period. The payment deferrals granted under forbearance were deemed to be an insignificant borrower concession, and therefore, not classified as troubled-debt restructured loans during the second quarter. Borrowers that were delinquent in their payments to the Bank prior to requesting a COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferral were reviewed on a case-by-case basis for troubled debt restructure classification and nonperforming loan status. The delinquency status for loans on payment deferment due to COVID-19 financial hardship were reported at June 30, 2020 based on their delinquency status at the end of the first quarter, unless subsequent to March 31, 2020, the borrower made all required past due payments to bring the loan to current status. The Company anticipates that the number and amount of COVID-19 financial hardship forbearance agreements will decrease during the third quarter of 2020. While the deferrals are still ongoing, it is difficult to assess whether a customer will be able to perform under the original terms of the loan once the deferral period expires. Once these deferrals expire, it may become apparent that more customers than expected are unable to perform and the Company may be required to make additional provisions for credit losses.
The COVID-19 crisis is expected to continue to impact the Company’s financial results, as well as demand for its services and products during the remaining two quarters of 2020 and potentially beyond. The CARES Act is expected to have an immaterial impact as it relates to income taxes and the Company will continue to assess impacts in future periods. The short and long-term implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and related government monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, on the Company’s future operations, revenues, earnings, allowance for credit losses, capital reserves, and liquidity are difficult to assess and remain unknown at this time.

Net Income and Profitability
As shown in Table 1, net income for the second quarter and June YTD of $35.2 million and $75.4 million, respectively, decreased $9.8 million, or 21.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2019 and decreased $11.6 million, or 13.3%, compared to June YTD 2019. Earnings per share of $0.66 for the second quarter was $0.20 lower than the second quarter of 2019, while earnings per share for the first six months of 2020 of $1.43 was $0.23 lower than the first six months of 2019. The decrease in net income and earnings per share for the quarter are primarily the result of a higher provision for credit losses, lower noninterest revenues, higher acquisition expenses, a higher effective tax rate, and an increase in diluted shares outstanding, partially offset by higher net interest income and lower noninterest expenses. The YTD decrease in net income and earnings per share are primarily the result of a higher provision for credit losses, higher acquisition expenses, higher noninterest expenses, lower noninterest revenues, a higher effective tax rate, and an increase in diluted shares outstanding, partially offset by higher net interest income. Operating net income of $40.5 million and $80.9 million for the second quarter and June YTD, respectively, decreased $1.6 million, or 3.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2019 and decreased $3.5 million, or 4.1%, compared to June YTD 2019. Operating earnings per share of $0.76 for the second quarter, was down $0.04 compared to the second quarter of 2019, while operating earnings per share of $1.53 for the first six months of 2020, was down $0.08 compared to the first six months of 2019. The decreases in operating net income and earnings per share are primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on credit loss expectations and noninterest revenues. See Table 11 for Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.
As reflected in Table 1, second quarter net interest income of $92.0 million was up $3.7 million, or 4.1%, from the comparable prior year period. Net interest income for the first six months of 2020 increased $6.8 million, or 3.9%, versus the first six months of 2019. The quarterly and year-over-year improvement resulted from an increase in interest-earning asset balances and a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and an increase in interest-bearing liability balances.
The provision for credit losses for the second quarter and June YTD increased $8.4 million and $11.5 million as compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2019, respectively. These increases are reflective of expected credit losses related to COVID-19 and the associated persistent adverse impact on economic and business operating conditions and $3.2 million of provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2020 related to acquired non-purchased credit deteriorated loans associated with the Steuben acquisition.
Second quarter and year-to-date noninterest revenues were $52.9 million and $111.6 million, respectively, down $7.8 million, or 12.8%, from the second quarter of 2019 and down $4.8 million, or 4.2%, from the first six months of 2019. The decrease compared to the prior year’s second quarter was primarily a result of the absence of a net gain on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities, and declines in deposit service charges and fees, debit interchange and ATM fees, other banking revenue, wealth management services revenue and insurance services revenue, partially offset by increases in mortgage banking revenue, employee benefit services revenue, and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. The YTD decrease was due to the absence of a net gain on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities, and declines in deposit service charges and fees, other banking revenues, and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, partially offset by increases in mortgage banking revenue, employee benefit services revenue, wealth management services revenue, debit interchange and ATM fees, and insurance services revenue.
Noninterest expenses of $90.9 million and $184.6 million for the second quarter and June YTD periods, respectively, reflected a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.3%, from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of $4.7 million, or 2.6%, from the first six months of 2019. The decrease in noninterest expenses for the quarter was due to declines in other expenses, business development and marketing expenses, and amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by increases in acquisition-related expenses associated with the Steuben and Kinderhook acquisitions, salaries and benefits primarily related to annual merit-based personnel cost increases, data processing and communications expenses, legal and professional fees and occupancy and equipment expenses. The YTD increase in noninterest expenses was due to increases in salaries and benefits primarily related to annual merit-based personnel cost increases, acquisition-related expenses associated with the Steuben and Kinderhook acquisitions, data processing and communications expenses, legal and professional fees and occupancy and equipment expenses, partially offset by decreases in other expenses, business development and marketing expenses, and amortization of intangible assets. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, 2020 operating expenses were $2.5 million, or 2.7%, lower for the second quarter and $2.7 million, or 1.5%, higher for the year-to-date timeframe.
The effective income tax rates were 20.3% and 19.5% for the second quarter and YTD 2020, respectively, as compared to 20.2% and 19.4% for the comparable prior year periods. The increase in effective tax rates compared to the prior year periods was due to the impact of lower levels of tax benefits related to stock-based compensation activity.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount by which interest and fees on earning assets (loans, investments, and cash equivalents) exceeds the cost of funds, which consists primarily of interest paid to the Company's depositors and on borrowings. Net interest margin is the difference between the yield on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing funds as a percentage of earning assets.
As shown in Table 2a, net interest income (with nontaxable income converted to a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter was $93.0 million, a $3.7 million, or 4.1%, increase from the same period last year. The increase was driven by a $1.68 billion increase in average interest-earning assets and a nine basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a $971.9 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. As reflected in Table 3, net interest income was favorably impacted by $15.7 million due to the volume increase in interest-earning assets and $1.6 million due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by unfavorable impacts on net interest income of $12.8 million due to the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets and $0.8 million due to the volume increase in interest-bearing liabilities. June YTD net interest income (with nontaxable income converted to a fully tax-equivalent basis), as reflected in Table 2b, of $184.1 million, increased $6.9 million, or 3.9%, from the year-earlier period. The June YTD increase resulted from a $1.17 billion increase in average interest-earning assets and a three basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 33 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a $709.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. As reflected in Table 3, the favorable impacts on net interest income for June YTD was due to the volume increase in interest-earning assets of $22.4 million and decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of $0.9 million, partially offset by unfavorable impacts on net interest income of the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets of $15.2 million and the volume increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $1.2 million.
The net interest margin of 3.37% for the second quarter of 2020 was 43 basis points lower as compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was the result of a 50 basis point decrease in the interest-earning asset yield, partially offset by a nine basis point decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin of 3.50% for the first six months of 2020 was 30 basis points lower than the comparable period of 2019. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 33 basis points, while the rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by three basis points for the first six months of 2020 as compared to the prior year period.
The 50 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter was the result of a decrease in the average yield on loans and investments. For the second quarter, the average yield on loans decreased by 33 basis points and the average yield on investments, including cash equivalents, decreased 69 basis points compared to the prior year. The 33 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2020 was the result of a 26 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans and a 44 basis point decrease in the average yield on investments, including cash equivalents, compared to the comparable period of 2019. The decrease in the loan and investment yields were driven by declines in market rates and included the impact of a $1.1 million YTD decrease in loan pre-payment fees, partially offset by a $0.2 million YTD increase in acquired non-impaired loan accretion.

The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by nine basis points compared to the prior year quarter as the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased seven basis points and the average rate paid on external borrowings decreased 51 basis points from the period year quarter. For the first six months of 2020, the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by three basis points from the comparable prior year period as the average rate on interest-bearing deposits was consistent and the average rate on external borrowings decreased 33 basis points. The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was primarily the result of a decrease in the variable rates paid on overnight borrowings and subordinated debt due to decreases in market interest rates.
The second quarter and YTD average balance of investments, including cash equivalents, increased $753.9 million and $407.4 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The cash equivalents component of average earning assets increased $488.7 million and $240.4 million for the second quarter and YTD periods, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in cash equivalents was primarily due to an influx of CARES Act-related Federal stimulus payments during the second quarter. Average loan balances increased $924.7 million for the quarter and $763.8 million YTD as compared to the prior year, with growth for both periods driven by the Kinderhook acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, the Steuben acquisition in the second quarter of 2020, and a significant increase in business lending due to $492.4 million of PPP loan originations during the quarter.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $975.5 million compared to the prior year quarter and $732.8 million compared to the prior YTD period. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was due to increases in interest checking, savings, time, and money market deposits due primarily to the Kinderhook acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, the Steuben acquisition in the second quarter of 2020 and larger than anticipated net inflows of funds from government stimulus programs in the second quarter of 2020. The average borrowing balance, including borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (collectively referred to as “FHLB”), subordinated notes payable, subordinated debt held by unconsolidated subsidiary trusts and securities sold under agreement to repurchase (customer repurchase agreements), decreased $3.6 million and $23.8 million for the quarter and YTD periods respectively. The decrease from the prior YTD period was primarily due to the redemption of trust preferred subordinated debt held by MBVT Statutory Trust I and Kinderhook Capital Trust, unconsolidated subsidiary trusts, during the third quarter of 2019 and a decrease in average customer repurchase agreements, partially offset by the addition of subordinated notes payable and other FHLB borrowings assumed with the Kinderhook acquisition during the third quarter of 2019 and the addition of other FHLB borrowings and trust preferred subordinated debt held by Steuben Statutory Trust II assumed with the Steuben acquisition during the second quarter of 2020.
Tables 2a and 2b below sets forth information related to average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and their associated yields and rates for the periods indicated. Interest income and yields are on a fully tax-equivalent basis (“FTE”) using marginal income tax rates of 24.0% and 24.5% in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Average balances are computed by totaling the daily ending balances in a period and dividing by the number of days in that period. Loan interest income and yields include amortization of deferred loan income and costs, loan prepayment and other fees and the accretion of acquired loan marks. Average loan balances include nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale.

Exclusive of the impact of PPP loans, the Company expects its third quarter net interest margin to remain depressed due to the significant and precipitous drop in the overnight Federal Funds and Prime interest rates in the latter half of the first quarter expected to remain in place. Expected decreases in average earning asset yields are unlikely to be fully offset by expected decreases in the average cost of funds. While the Company anticipates assisting the majority of the Company’s PPP borrowers with forgiveness requests during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, the eligibility of the borrowers’ forgiveness requests and the SBA’s ability to prove loan forgiveness in a timely manner is uncertain at this time. For these reasons, although the stated interest rate on PPP loans is fixed at 1.0%, it is uncertain as to the timing for which the Company’s remaining $13.1 million in net deferred PPP origination fees will be recognized as interest income and will likely cause earnings asset yield volatility as loans are forgiven by the SBA.
Noninterest Revenues
The Company’s sources of noninterest revenues are of four primary types: 1) general banking services related to loans, including mortgage banking, deposits, and other core customer activities typically provided through the branch network and electronic banking channels (performed by CBNA); 2) employee benefit trust and benefit plan administration services (performed by BPAS and its subsidiaries); 3) wealth management services, comprised of personal trust services (performed by the trust unit within CBNA), investment products and services (performed by Community Investment Services Inc. (“CISI”), OneGroup Wealth Partners, Inc., and The Carta Group, Inc.) and asset management services (performed by Nottingham Advisors, Inc.); and 4) insurance products and services (performed by OneGroup NY, Inc.). Additionally, the Company has other transactions, including both realized and unrealized gains or losses on equity securities and investment securities.

(1) For purposes of this ratio noninterest revenues exclude net gain on sale of investment securities and unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities. Operating revenues, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net interest income on a fully-tax equivalent basis excluding acquired non-impaired loan accretion plus noninterest revenues excluding net gain on sale of investment securities and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. See Table 11 for Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.

As displayed in Table 4, noninterest revenues, excluding net gain on sale of investment securities and unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities, were $52.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $111.6 million for the first six months of 2020. This represents a decrease of $2.9 million, or 5.2%, for the quarter and an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.1%, for the YTD period in comparison to the equivalent 2019 periods. The decrease for the quarterly period was driven by decreases in banking noninterest revenue, wealth management services revenue and insurance services revenue, partially offset by an increase in employee benefit services revenue. The decrease for the YTD period was due to a decrease in banking noninterest revenue, partially offset by increases in employee benefit services revenue, wealth management services revenue and insurance services revenue. In addition to noninterest revenues from recurring banking noninterest revenue and financial services revenues, the Company sold $590.2 million of its available-for-sale Treasury securities in the second quarter of 2019 resulting in a net realized gain of $4.9 million.
Banking noninterest revenue of $14.3 million for the second quarter and $32.4 million for the first six months of 2020 decreased $2.8 million, or 16.5%, and $2.1 million, or 6.2%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The quarterly decrease was primarily driven by decreases in deposit services charges and fees, debit interchange and ATM fees, and other banking revenues due to a precipitous drop in deposit transaction activity resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in mortgage banking revenues, reflective of the Company’s increased commitment to sell secondary market eligible residential mortgage loans. The YTD decline was primarily driven by decreases in deposit services charges and fees and other banking revenues due to a precipitous drop in deposit transaction activity resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in mortgage banking revenues, reflective of the Company’s increased commitment to sell secondary market eligible residential mortgage loans, and debit interchange and ATM fees, reflective of the addition of new deposit relationships from the Kinderhook and Steuben acquisitions.
Employee benefit services revenue increased $0.3 million, or 1.2%, and $1.6 million, or 3.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. This growth primarily related to increases in plan administration, recordkeeping and actuarial service fees. Insurance services revenue was down $0.1 million, or 1.8%, and up $0.1 million, or 0.3%, for the second quarter and YTD periods, respectively. Wealth management services revenue was down $0.2 million, or 3.2%, for the second quarter of 2020, but was up $0.6 million, or 4.4%, for June 2020 YTD as compared to the same time period of 2019.
The ratio of noninterest revenues to operating revenues (FTE basis) was 36.6% for the quarter and 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, versus 38.8% and 39.0% for the comparable periods of 2019. The decrease for the year-to-date period is a function of a 3.9% increase in adjusted net interest income (FTE basis) while adjusted noninterest revenues increased 0.1%.
As the economy continues the re-opening process due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company expects its deposit service charges and fees revenue and debit interchange and ATM fees revenue to increase slightly in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2020, barring another shut-down of nonessential businesses in the Company’s market footprint.

| (1) | Operating expenses, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated as total noninterest expenses less acquisition expenses and amortization of intangibles. See Table 11 for Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.

| (2) | Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated as operating expenses as defined in (1) above divided by net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis excluding acquired non-impaired loan accretion plus noninterest revenues excluding net gain on sale of investment securities and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. See Table 11 for Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.

As shown in Table 5, the Company recorded noninterest expenses of $90.9 million and $184.6 million for the second quarter and YTD periods of 2020, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.3%, and an increase of $4.7 million, or 2.6%, from the prior year periods. Acquisition-related expenses of $3.4 million and $3.7 million are included in second quarter and YTD 2020 noninterest expenses, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits increased $0.7 million, or 1.3%, and $5.6 million, or 5.2%, for the second quarter and YTD periods of 2020, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of 2019. The increase in salaries and benefits was due primarily to annual merit-based personnel cost increases and an increase in payroll costs associated with the third quarter 2019 Kinderhook acquisition and to a lesser extent the second quarter 2020 Steuben acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in employee health care costs due to reduced provider utilization. The remaining change to noninterest expenses can be attributed to occupancy and equipment (up $0.1 million for the quarter and up $0.6 million YTD), data processing and communications (up $0.4 million for the quarter and $1.4 million YTD), amortization of intangible assets (down $0.4 million for the quarter and $0.8 million YTD), legal and professional fees (up $0.4 million for the quarter and $0.8 million YTD), business development and marketing (down $1.6 million for the quarter and $1.9 million YTD) and other expenses (down $2.1 million for the quarter and $2.9 million YTD) largely attributable to decreased levels of business activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in other expenses was an increase in non-service related components of the net periodic pension benefit credit (up $0.4 million for the quarter and $0.7 million YTD).
The Company’s efficiency ratio (as defined in the table above) was 58.1% for the second quarter, 1.7% favorable to the comparable quarter of 2019. This resulted from operating expenses (as described above) decreasing 2.4%, while operating revenues (as described above) increased 0.5%. The efficiency ratio of 59.3% for the first six months of 2020 was 0.2% favorable compared to the first six months of 2019 due to 2.1% higher operating expenses (as described above), while operating revenues (as described above) increased by 2.4%. Current year operating expenses, excluding intangible amortization and acquisition expenses, as a percentage of average assets decreased 54 basis points versus the prior year quarter and was 31 basis points lower than the prior year-to-date period. Operating expenses (as defined above) decreased 2.4% for the quarter and increased 2.1% for the year-to-date period, while average assets increased 17.5% for the quarter and increased 12.5% for the year-to-date period.
While the Company will remain focused on containing operating expenses, the Company expects operating expenses to increase in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 due to the Company resuming certain marketing and business development endeavors that were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the incremental expenses associated with operating an expanded branch network from the Steuben acquisition.

Income Taxes
The second quarter and YTD 2020 effective income tax rates were 20.3% and 19.5%, respectively, as compared to the 20.2% and 19.4% for the comparable periods of 2019. The increase in the second quarter and YTD 2020 effective income tax rate is attributable to lower levels of benefit related to stock based compensation activity. The effective tax rates adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation tax benefits for the second quarter and YTD 2020 were 20.7% and 20.8%, respectively, as compared to 21.3% and 21.5% for the comparable periods of 2019.
Investment Securities
The carrying value of investment securities (including unrealized gains and losses) was $3.34 billion at the end of the second quarter, an increase of $249.1 million from December 31, 2019 and $935.2 million higher than June 30, 2019. The book value of investment securities (excluding unrealized gains and losses) of $3.17 billion at the end of the second quarter increased $118.9 million from December 31, 2019 and increased $808.4 million from June 30, 2019. During the first six months of 2020, the Company purchased $50.9 million of government agency mortgage-backed securities with an average yield of 2.30%, $11.3 million of obligations of state and political subdivisions with an average yield of 3.37%, and $3.0 million of corporate debt securities with an average yield of 5.38%. Additionally, the Company acquired $180.5 million of investments from Steuben during the second quarter of 2020. These additions were partially offset by $130.7 million of investment maturities, calls, and principal payments during the first six months of 2020. The effective duration of the investment securities portfolio was 3.3 years at the end of the second quarter of 2020, as compared to 4.3 years at the end of 2019 and 2.7 years at the end of the second quarter of 2019.
The change in the carrying value of investment securities is also impacted by the amount of net unrealized gains or losses. At June 30, 2020, the portfolio had a $164.1 million net unrealized gain, an increase of $130.2 million from the net unrealized gain at December 31, 2019 and a $126.8 million increase from the net unrealized gain at June 30, 2019. These changes in the net unrealized position of the portfolio were principally driven by the movements in market interest rates.

Loans
As shown in Table 7, loans ended the second quarter at $7.53 billion, up $1.24 billion, or 19.8%, from one year earlier and up $637.5 million, or 9.3%, from the end of 2019. The growth during the last twelve months was primarily attributable to the Kinderhook acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, the Steuben acquisition in the second quarter of 2020, as well a significant increase in the business lending portfolio due to $492.4 million of PPP loan originations during the second quarter of 2020. The growth during the first six months of 2020 was primarily due to the Steuben acquisition as well as the PPP loan originations during the second quarter of 2020.

The business lending portfolio consists of general-purpose business lending to commercial and industrial customers, municipal lending, mortgages on commercial property, and dealer floor plan financing, as well as PPP loans. The business lending portfolio increased $1.06 billion, or 44.2%, from June 30, 2019 and increased $679.5 million from December 31, 2019. The growth in the business lending portfolio during the last twelve months includes $492.4 million of PPP loans originated during the second quarter of 2020, $332.9 million of business lending loans acquired from Kinderhook in the third quarter of 2019 and $253.5 million of loans acquired from Steuben in the second quarter of 2020. Ending loans in the municipal sector of the business lending portfolio decreased $31.0 million from December 31, 2019, as certain municipal customers repay short-term loans and lines of credit annually at the end of the second quarter to meet their fiscal cycle requirements and advance on new loans and lines of credit in the third quarter for the next annual fiscal cycle. Highly competitive conditions for business lending continue to prevail in the markets in which the Company operates. The Company strives to generate growth in its business portfolio in a manner that adheres to its goals of maintaining strong asset quality and producing profitable margins. The Company continues to invest in additional personnel, technology and business development resources to further strengthen its capabilities in this important product category.
Consumer mortgages increased $172.3 million, or 7.6%, from one year ago and decreased $2.8 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2019. The increase in the consumer mortgage portfolio during the last twelve months includes $122.7 million of loans acquired from Kinderhook in the third quarter of 2019 and $26.7 million of loans acquired from Steuben in the second quarter of 2020. Consumer mortgage volume has been relatively strong over the last several years due to historically low long-term rates and comparatively stable real estate valuations in the Company’s primary markets. Interest rate levels, secondary market premiums and expected duration continue to be the most significant factors in determining whether the Company chooses to retain, versus sell and service, portions of its new mortgage production. Due to an increase in secondary market premiums for residential mortgage loans, the Company sold $15.6 million of its originations during the first six months of 2020 as compared to $1.4 million of its originations during the first six months of 2019. Home equity loans increased $46.9 million, or 12.6%, from one year ago and increased $32.2 million, or 8.3%, from December 31, 2019. The increase in the home equity portfolio during the last twelve months includes $16.6 million of loans acquired from Kinderhook in the third quarter of 2019 and $39.5 million of loans acquired from Steuben in the second quarter of 2020.
Consumer installment loans, both those originated directly in the branches (referred to as “consumer direct”) and indirectly in automobile, marine, and recreational vehicle dealerships (referred to as “consumer indirect”), decreased $34.9 million, or 2.8%, from one year ago and decreased $71.3 million, or 5.5%, from December 31, 2019. During the last twelve months, $7.7 million of loans were acquired from Kinderhook in the third quarter of 2019 and $19.9 million of loans were acquired from Steuben in the second quarter of 2020. Although the consumer indirect loan market is highly competitive, the Company is focused on maintaining a profitable, in-market and contiguous market indirect portfolio, while continuing to pursue the expansion of its dealer network. Consumer direct loans provide attractive returns, and the Company is committed to providing competitive market offerings to its customers in this important loan category.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis and its related impact on business activities, the demand for consumer loans and credit has decreased significantly. The ultimate impact the decrease in loan demand will have on the Company’s loan balances in future quarters is uncertain at this time. The Company’s business lending balances will be unfavorably impacted as PPP loans are forgiven by the SBA. The Company anticipates assisting the majority of the Company’s PPP borrowers with forgiveness requests during the third and fourth quarters of 2020. However, the eligibility of the borrowers’ forgiveness requests and the SBA’s ability to provide loan forgiveness in a timely manner is uncertain at this time. The longer term implications on business lending loan demand are also uncertain at this time.

The Company’s asset quality profile in the second quarter of 2020 continued to illustrate the long-term effectiveness of the Company’s disciplined risk management and underwriting standards. As displayed in Table 8, nonperforming assets at June 30, 2020 were $29.9 million, a $4.4 million increase versus the level at the end of 2019 and a $3.8 million increase as compared to one year earlier. Nonperforming loans increased $2.5 million from year-end 2019 and increased $2.3 million from June 30, 2019. $1.0 million of the increase in nonperforming loans was attributable to loans acquired in the Steuben acquisition. The delinquency status for loans on payment deferment due to COVID-19 financial hardship were reported at June 30, 2020 based on their delinquency status at the end of the first quarter, unless subsequent to March 31, 2020, the borrower made all required past due payments to bring the loan to current status. Other real estate owned (“OREO”) at June 30, 2020 of $3.2 million increased $1.9 million from December 31, 2019 and increased $1.5 million from June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2020, OREO consisted of 10 residential properties with a total value of $0.7 million and three commercial properties with a value of $2.5 million. This compares to 16 residential properties with a total value of $1.0 million and two commercial properties with a value of $0.3 million at December 31, 2019, and 26 residential properties with a total value of $1.6 million and one commercial property with a value of $0.1 million at June 30, 2019. Nonperforming loans were 0.36% of total loans outstanding at the end of the second quarter, one basis points higher than the level at December 31, 2019 and a three basis point decrease from the level at June 30, 2019.

Approximately 64% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2020 are related to the consumer mortgage portfolio. Collateral values of residential properties within the Company’s market area have generally remained stable over the past several years. Additionally, economic conditions prior to COVID-19, including lower unemployment levels, have positively impacted consumers and resulted in more favorable nonperforming mortgage ratios. The Company will continue to monitor the impact that the decline in economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic could have on its level of delinquent loans, nonperforming assets and ultimately credit-related losses. Approximately 23% of the nonperforming loans at June 30, 2020 were related to the business lending portfolio, which is comprised of business loans broadly diversified by industry type. The remaining 13% of nonperforming loans relate to consumer installment and home equity loans, with home equity non-performing loan levels being driven by the same factors identified for consumer mortgages. The allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans ratio, a general measure of coverage adequacy, was 241% at the end of the second quarter, as compared to 206% at year-end 2019 and 202% at June 30, 2019.
The Company’s senior management, special asset officers and lenders review all delinquent and nonaccrual loans and OREO regularly in order to identify deteriorating situations, monitor known problem credits and discuss any needed changes to collection efforts, if warranted. Based on the group’s consensus, a relationship may be assigned a special assets officer or other senior lending officer to review the loan, meet with the borrowers, assess the collateral and recommend an action plan. This plan could include foreclosure, restructuring loans, issuing demand letters or other actions. The Company’s larger criticized credits are also reviewed on a quarterly basis by senior credit administration management, special assets officers and commercial lending management to monitor their status and discuss credit management plans. Commercial lending management reviews the criticized business loan portfolio on a monthly basis.
Delinquent loans (30 days past due through nonaccruing) as a percent of total loans was 0.72% at the end of the second quarter, 22 basis points below the 0.94% at year-end 2019 and 15 basis points below the 0.87% at June 30, 2019. The business lending delinquency ratio at the end of the second quarter was 44 basis points below the level at December 31, 2019 and 30 basis points below the level at June 30, 2019. The consumer direct delinquency ratio at the end of the second quarter was 30 basis points below the level at December 31, 2019 and eight basis points below the level at June 30, 2019. The consumer indirect delinquency ratio at the end of the second quarter was 32 basis points below the level at December 31, 2019 and 19 basis points below the level at June 30, 2019. The delinquency ratios for the home equity loan portfolio at the end of the second quarter was consistent with the level at December 31, 2019, but was 16 basis points higher than the delinquency ratio at June 30, 2019. The delinquency ratio for the consumer mortgage portfolio increased by 17 basis points as compared to December 31, 2019 and was 15 basis points higher than the delinquency ratio at June 30, 2019. The Company’s historic success at keeping the nonperforming and delinquency ratios at favorable levels has been the result of its continued focus on maintaining strict underwriting standards, as well as the effective utilization of its collection and recovery capabilities. The delinquency status for loans on payment deferment due to COVID-19 financial hardship were reported at June 30, 2020 based on their delinquency status at the end of the first quarter, unless subsequent to March 31, 2020, the borrower made all required past due payments to bring the loan to current status.
While the Company will continue to adapt to changing market conditions and remain very focused on asset quality, the Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact the level of business activity and employment which will continue to adversely affect certain borrower’s ability to service debt and may increase loan delinquency and credit loss levels for the remaining two quarters of 2020 and potentially beyond. Additionally, the Company anticipates that the number and amount of COVID-19 financial hardship forbearance agreements will decrease during the third quarter of 2020, which may increase loan delinquency levels as the status of some of the borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments and granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals were reported as current loans throughout the agreed upon deferral period could change after deferment expires.

As displayed in Table 9, net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2020 were $0.9 million, $0.3 million lower than the second quarter of 2019. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $2.5 million, a $1.3 million decrease from the first six months of 2019. The business lending, consumer mortgage, consumer direct, and home equity portfolios experienced lower levels of net charge-offs through the first six months of 2020, as compared to the first six months of 2019, while the consumer indirect portfolio experienced higher net charge-offs than the prior year-to-date period. The annualized net charge-off ratio (net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding) for the second quarter of 2020 was 0.05%, three basis points lower than the second quarter of 2019. Net charge-off ratios for the second quarter of 2020 for all loan portfolios were below the Company’s average for the trailing eight quarters. The June YTD annualized net charge-off ratio of 0.07% for total loans was five basis points lower than the equivalent prior year period.
The provision for credit losses was $9.8 million in the second quarter, comprised of $3.2 million of acquisition-related provision due to the Steuben transaction, and $6.6 million of provision related to higher expected credit losses due largely to the deterioration of economic conditions and forecasted delinquencies associated with COVID-19 pandemic. Exclusive of the acquisition-related provision, the second quarter provision for credit losses was $5.2 million higher than the equivalent prior year period and $5.7 million more than the level of net charge-offs for the quarter. The allowance for credit losses of $64.4 million as of June 30, 2020 increased $15.1 million from the level one year ago. The deterioration of economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased unemployment rates, have resulted in an allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio of 0.86% at June 30, 2020, eight basis points higher than the level at June 30, 2019 and 14 basis points higher than the level at December 31, 2019.
Refer to Note E: Loans of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of management’s methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses.

As of June 30, 2020, the net purchase discount related to the $1.59 billion of remaining non-PCD loan balances acquired from Steuben Trust Company in 2020, the National Union Bank of Kinderhook in 2019, Merchants Bank in 2017, Oneida Savings Bank in 2015, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. in 2012, First Niagara Bank, N.A. in 2012, and Wilber National Bank in 2011 was approximately $14.5 million, or 0.91% of that portfolio.
Deposits
As shown in Table 10, average deposits of $10.11 billion in the second quarter were $1.61 billion, or 19.0%, higher than the second quarter of 2019. This compares to an increase of $1.01 billion, or 11.1%, from the fourth quarter of last year. The increase from the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to larger than anticipated net inflows of government stimulus funds and the addition of acquired Kinderhook and Steuben deposit liabilities between the periods. $516.3 million of deposits were acquired from Steuben during the second quarter of 2020 and $568.2 million of deposits were acquired from Kinderhook during the third quarter of 2019. Average noninterest checking deposits as a percentage of average total deposits was 29.3% in the second quarter compared to 27.4% in the second quarter of 2019 and 27.7% in the fourth quarter of last year. Non-maturity deposits (noninterest checking, interest checking, savings and money markets) represent 90.9% of the Company’s deposit funding base, while time deposits represent 9.1% of total average deposits. The quarterly average cost of deposits was 0.17% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 0.22% in the second quarter of 2019, reflective of market-driven decreases in deposit interest rates between the periods and an increase in the proportion of noninterest checking deposits. The Company continues to focus heavily on growing its core deposit relationships through its proactive marketing efforts, competitive product offerings and high quality customer service.
Average nonpublic fund deposits for the second quarter of 2020 increased $911.7 million, or 11.3%, versus the fourth quarter of 2019 and increased $1.49 billion, or 19.9%, versus the year-earlier period. Average public fund deposits for the second quarter increased $97.7 million, or 9.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2019 and increased $123.8 million, or 12.4%, from the second quarter of 2019. Public fund deposits as a percentage of total deposits decreased from 11.8% in the second quarter of 2019 to 11.1% in the second quarter of 2020.
The Company is uncertain as to whether or not the relatively high levels of deposits will be maintained, spent down, or increased further by additional COVID-19 related inflows of government stimulus funds.

Borrowings
Borrowings, excluding securities sold under agreement to repurchase, at the end of the second quarter of 2020 totaled $100.8 million. This was $2.3 million, or 2.3%, lower than borrowings at December 31, 2019 and $1.0 million, or 1.0%, above the end of the second quarter of 2019. The slight increase from the prior year second quarter was primarily due to the addition of subordinated notes payable and FHLB borrowings assumed with the Kinderhook acquisition during the third quarter of 2019 and the addition of FHLB borrowings and trust preferred subordinated debt held by Steuben Statutory Trust II assumed with the Steuben acquisition during the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by the redemption of trust preferred subordinated debt held by MBVT Statutory Trust I, an unconsolidated subsidiary trust, during the third quarter of 2019. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2019 was related to an $8.3 million decrease in overnight FHLB borrowings, partially offset by the addition of FHLB borrowings and trust preferred subordinated debt held by Steuben Statutory Trust II assumed with the Steuben acquisition during the second quarter of 2020.
Securities sold under agreement to repurchase, also referred to as customer repurchase agreements, represent collateralized municipal and commercial customer accounts that price and operate similar to a deposit instrument. Customer repurchase agreements were $168.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $73.2 million from December 31, 2019 due primarily to the seasonal characteristics of this portfolio, and were $26.1 million above their level at June 30, 2019.

Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity was $2.08 billion at the end of the second quarter. This was up $226.1 million from the balance at December 31, 2019. During the first six months of 2020, the Company recorded net income of $75.4 million, issued $76.9 million of common stock as consideration for the Steuben acquisition, issued $0.2 million from treasury stock to the Company’s benefit plans, increased net activity under the Company’s employee stock plan by $13.0 million, recorded $3.2 million from employee stock options earned, and accumulated other comprehensive income increased $100.3 million. Further, the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2020 resulted in a $0.5 million increase to retained earnings. These amounts were partially offset by dividends declared of $43.4 million. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income was comprised of a $99.0 million increase in the after-tax market value adjustment on the available-for-sale investment portfolio and a positive $1.3 million adjustment to the funded status of the Company’s retirement plans. Over the past 12 months, total shareholders’ equity increased by $271.8 million, as net income, the issuance of common stock in association with the Steuben acquisition, activity associated with the Company’s long-term incentive stock plan and the Company’s benefit plans and an increase in the market value adjustment on investments, more than offset dividends declared and the change in the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.
The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, a primary measure of regulatory capital for which 5% is the requirement to be “well-capitalized”, was 10.79% at the end of the second quarter, down one basis point from year-end 2019 and 75 basis points below its level one year earlier. The decrease in the Tier 1 leverage ratio in comparison to December 31, 2019 was primarily due to ending shareholders’ equity, excluding intangibles and other comprehensive income items, increasing 9.8%, primarily from net earnings retention and the issuance of shares in connection with the Steuben acquisition, while average assets, excluding intangibles and the market value adjustment on investments, increased 9.9%. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared to the prior year’s second quarter as shareholders’ equity, excluding intangibles and other comprehensive income, increased 9.2% primarily due to earnings retention and the issuance of shares in connection with the Steuben acquisition, while average assets excluding intangibles and the market value adjustment on investments, increased 16.8%. The net tangible equity-to-assets ratio (a non-GAAP measure) of 10.08% increased seven basis points from December 31, 2019 and decreased 48 basis points versus June 30, 2019 (See Table 11 for Reconciliation of Quarterly GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures). The decrease in the tangible equity ratio over the past 12 months was due to a proportionally larger increase in tangible assets than the increase in tangible equity levels, primarily driven by the Kinderhook acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, the Steuben acquisition in the second quarter of 2020 and a significant increase in government stimulus-related deposit funding in the second quarter of 2020.
The dividend payout ratio (dividends declared divided by net income) for the first six months of 2020 was 57.5%, compared to 45.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Dividends declared for the first six months of 2020 increased 10.5% compared to the first six months of 2019, as the Company’s quarterly dividend per share was raised from $0.38 to $0.41 in August 2019, while net income decreased 13.3% versus the equivalent year-to-date period due in most part to higher provision for credit losses due to COVID-19, as well as the absence of realized investment gains and increased acquisition expenses. The 2019 dividend increase marked the Company’s 27th consecutive year of increased dividend payouts to common shareholders. Additionally, the number of common shares outstanding increased 3.8% over the last twelve months, primarily related to the issuance of common shares in connection with the Steuben acquisition.
Liquidity
Liquidity risk is a measure of the Company’s ability to raise cash when needed at a reasonable cost and minimize any loss. The Company maintains appropriate liquidity levels in both normal operating environments as well as stressed environments. The Company must be capable of meeting all obligations to its customers at any time and, therefore, the active management of its liquidity position remains an important management objective. The Bank has appointed the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) to manage liquidity risk using policy guidelines and limits on indicators of potential liquidity risk. The indicators are monitored using a scorecard with three risk level limits. These risk indicators measure core liquidity and funding needs, capital at risk and change in available funding sources. The risk indicators are monitored using such statistics as the core basic surplus ratio, unencumbered securities to average assets, free loan collateral to average assets, loans to deposits, deposits to total funding and borrowings to total funding ratios.
Given the uncertain nature of the Company’s customers' demands, as well as the Company's desire to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities, the Company must have adequate sources of on and off-balance sheet funds available that can be utilized in time of need. Accordingly, in addition to the liquidity provided by balance sheet cash flows, liquidity must be supplemented with additional sources such as credit lines from correspondent banks and borrowings from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“Federal Reserve”). Other funding alternatives may also be appropriate from time to time, including wholesale and retail repurchase agreements, large certificates of deposit and the brokered CD market. The primary source of non-deposit funds is FHLB overnight advances, of which there were no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2020.

Table of Contents
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its liquid assets, as well as unencumbered loans and securities that can be used to collateralize additional funding. At June 30, 2020, the Bank had $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents of which $1.1 billion are interest-earning deposits held at the Federal Reserve, FHLB and other correspondent banks. The Company also had $1.8 billion in unused FHLB borrowing capacity based on the Company’s quarter-end loan collateral levels. Additionally, the Company has $1.7 billion of unencumbered securities that could be pledged at the FHLB or Federal Reserve to obtain additional funding. There is $25.0 million available in unsecured lines of credit with other correspondent banks at quarter-end.
The Company’s primary approach to measuring short-term liquidity is known as the Basic Surplus/Deficit model. It is used to calculate liquidity over two time periods: first, the amount of cash that could be made available within 30 days (calculated as liquid assets less short-term liabilities as a percentage of average assets); and second, a projection of subsequent cash availability over an additional 60 days. As of June 30, 2020, this ratio was 19.2% for 30-days and 19.2% for 90-days, excluding the Company's capacity to borrow additional funds from the FHLB and other sources. This is considered to be a sufficient amount of liquidity based on the Company’s internal policy requirement of 7.5%.
A sources and uses statement is used by the Company to measure intermediate liquidity risk over the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2020, there is more than enough liquidity available during the next year to cover projected cash outflows. In addition, stress tests on the cash flows are performed in various scenarios ranging from high probability events with a low impact on the liquidity position to low probability events with a high impact on the liquidity position. The results of the stress tests as of June 30, 2020 indicate the Company has sufficient sources of funds for the next year in all simulated stressed scenarios.
To measure longer-term liquidity, a baseline projection of loan and deposit growth for five years is made to reflect how liquidity levels could change over time. This five-year measure reflects ample liquidity for loan and other asset growth over the next five years.
Though remote, the possibility of a funding crisis exists at all financial institutions. Accordingly, management has addressed this issue by formulating a Liquidity Contingency Plan, which has been reviewed and approved by both the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s ALCO. The plan addresses the actions that the Company would take in response to both a short-term and long-term funding crisis.
A short-term funding crisis would most likely result from a shock to the financial system, either internal or external, which disrupts orderly short-term funding operations. Such a crisis would likely be temporary in nature and would not involve a change in credit ratings. A long-term funding crisis would most likely be the result of drastic credit deterioration at the Company. Management believes that both potential circumstances have been fully addressed through detailed action plans and the establishment of trigger points for monitoring such events.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates, prices or credit risk. Credit risk associated with the Company’s loan portfolio has been previously discussed in the asset quality section of the MD&A. Management believes that the tax risk of the Company’s municipal investments associated with potential future changes in statutory, judicial and regulatory actions is minimal. Treasury, agency, mortgage-backed and CMO securities issued by government agencies comprise 83% of the total portfolio and are currently rated AAA by Moody’s Investor Services and AA+ by Standard & Poor’s. Municipal and corporate bonds account for 16% of the total portfolio, of which, 98% carry a minimum rating of A-. The remaining 1% of the portfolio is comprised of other investment grade securities. The Company does not have material foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure. Therefore, almost all the market risk in the investment portfolio is related to interest rates.
The ongoing monitoring and management of both interest rate risk and liquidity, in the short and long term time horizons is an important component of the Company's asset/liability management process, which is governed by limits established in the policies reviewed and approved annually by the Company’s Board. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the policies to the ALCO, which meets each month. The committee is made up of the Company's senior management as well as regional and line-of-business managers who oversee specific earning asset classes and various funding sources. As the Company does not believe it is possible to reliably predict future interest rate movements, it has maintained an appropriate process and set of measurement tools, which enables it to identify and quantify sources of interest rate risk in varying rate environments. The primary tool used by the Company in managing interest rate risk is income simulation.
While a wide variety of strategic balance sheet and treasury yield curve scenarios are tested on an ongoing basis, the following reflects the Company's estimated net interest income sensitivity over the subsequent twelve months based on:

• | Asset and liability levels using June 30, 2020 as a starting point.

• | The model assumes the Company’s average deposit balances will decrease approximately 3.9% over the next twelve months due primarily to expectations that recent government stimulus-related deposit balances will be spent down over the four quarter forecast period reducing average total deposit balances.

• | The model assumes the Company’s average earning asset balances will decrease approximately 1.0% to 4.0% over the next twelve months.

• | The model assumes that $507.2 million of PPP loan originations completed during the second quarter of 2020 will have forgiveness and full repayment of the balances over the next 12 months. Upon repayment, the PPP loan balances are largely anticipated to be reinvested in cash equivalents. All other loan balances are generally projected to remain flat or increase modestly throughout the forecast period due to lower anticipated levels of loan demand reflective of an expected decline in economic activity and other COVID-19 related factors. Cash flows from investment contractual maturities and prepayments are reinvested into securities or cash equivalents and repay short-term capital market borrowings.

• | In the rising rates scenarios, the prime rate and federal funds rates are assumed to move up over a 12-month period while moving the long end of the treasury curve to spreads over the three month treasury that are more consistent with historical norms based on the last three years (normalized yield curve). Deposit rates are assumed to move in a manner that reflects the historical relationship between deposit rate movement and changes in the federal funds rate. In the 0 basis point model, the prime and federal funds rate are held at current levels and the treasury yield curve is assumed to move to zero basis points.

• | Cash flows are based on contractual maturity, optionality, and amortization schedules along with applicable prepayments derived from internal historical data and external sources.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity Model

Change in interest rates |  | Calculated annualized increase (decrease) in projected net interest income at June 30, 2020 (000’s omitted) |
+200 basis points |  | $ | 12,827 |
+100 basis points |  | $ | 6,596 |
0 basis points |  | $ | (2,044 | )

Projected net interest income (NII) over the 12-month forecast period increases in the rising rate environments largely due to higher rates earned on significant levels of cash equivalents and assumed higher rates on new loans, including variable and adjustable rate loans. These increases are partially offset by anticipated increases in deposit and borrowing costs. Over the longer time period, the growth in NII continues to improve in both rising rate environments as lower yielding assets mature and are replaced at higher rates.
In the zero basis points scenario, in which all Treasury security yields decrease to zero percent, the Company shows interest rate risk exposure to lower short term rates. During the first twelve months, net interest income declines largely due to lower assumed rates on reinvestment opportunities and new loans, including adjustable and variable rate assets. Modestly lower funding costs associated with deposits and borrowings only partially offset the decrease in interest income.
The analysis does not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions: the nature and timing of interest rate levels (including yield curve shape), prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and other factors. While the assumptions are developed based upon reasonable economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive efficacy of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that the ALCO might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, it has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation referenced in the paragraph above that occurred during the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. | Other Information

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. As of June 30, 2020, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. The range of reasonably possible losses for matters where an exposure is not currently estimable or considered probable, beyond the existing recorded liabilities, is believed to be between $0 and $1 million in the aggregate. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigation will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factor represents material updates and additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2020, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020. These are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or that are currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factor set forth below also is a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
Continued market volatility and extended periods of economic stress may affect the Company’s capital and liquidity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused volatility in financial markets and could potentially cause prolonged periods of economic stress. The Company’s ability to access short-term funding or liquidity may be limited as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on local and global markets and the reduction in the Company’s deposit base either through customer withdrawals or non-renewal of term deposits. Market stress from the pandemic could result in reduced cash flow from earning assets including credit impairment on investment securities and sustained repayment shortfalls on loans. It is possible that the sources of wholesale funding, such as the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank, would no longer be accessible to fund daily liquidity needs. If the economic situation deteriorates, federal regulators may also consider taking actions such as suspension of dividends and other capital distributions in order to conserve capital and retain capacity, any of which could adversely impact the Company’s business. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s regulatory capital and liquidity ratios will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and the effectiveness of stimulus actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The total impact on the Company’s loan portfolios may not be fully realized while loan deferments granted to impacted customers by COVID-19 are still ongoing.
Concern about the spread of COVID-19 have caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns and slowdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, increased unemployment, commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, which may affect individuals, households and business differently, and decreased consumer confidence generally, all of which may cause the Company’s customers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. The Company instituted a deferral program which granted customers impacted by COVID-19 deferrals of loan principal and/or interest payments provided that such customers met certain requirements. While the deferrals are still ongoing, it is difficult to assess whether a customer will be able to perform under the original terms of the loan once the deferral period expires. Once these deferrals expire, it may become apparent that more customers than expected are unable to perform and the Company may be required to make additional provisions for credit losses and net charge-offs. If these deferrals were not effective in mitigating the effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s customers, it will adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations more substantially over a longer period of time.
The Company’s net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19.
On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve further reduced the target federal funds rate by 100 basis points to 0.00% to 0.25% and maintained this target range as of June 30, 2020. Further, the Federal Reserve reduced the interest that it pays on excess reserves from 1.60% to 1.10% on March 3, 2020, and then to 0.10% on March 15, 2020. The Company expects that these reductions in interest rates, especially if prolonged, could adversely affect its net interest income and margins and its profitability. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, results of operations and financial condition. Low rates increase the risk in the United States of a negative interest rate environment in which interest rates drop below zero, either broadly or for some types of instruments. Such an occurrence would likely further reduce the interest the Company earns on loans and other earning assets, while also likely requiring the Company to pay to maintain its deposits with the Federal Reserve. The Company cannot predict the nature or timing of future changes in monetary policies in response to the outbreak or the precise effects that they may have on the Company’s activities and financial results.
As previous disclosed, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business continues to remain uncertain and the full scope of its impact cannot be predicted.
The Company does not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s effects on its business, operations, or the global economy as a whole, despite experience and knowledge gained throughout the second quarter of 2020. The pandemic may cause prolonged global or national recessionary economic conditions or longer lasting effects on economic conditions that currently exist. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as its regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. However, the effects are likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and heighten many of its known risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
