Basis of Presentation | HERITAGE COMMERCE CORP ​ NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ​ June 30, 2020 ​ (Unaudited) ​ 1) Basis of Presentation ​ The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Heritage Commerce Corp (the “Company” or “HCC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce (“HBC”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes that were included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. ​ HBC is a commercial bank serving customers primarily located in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties of California. CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp. a California corporation, dba Bay View Funding (“Bay View Funding”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of HBC, and provides business-essential working capital factoring financing to various industries throughout the United States. No customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue for HBC or the Company. The Company reports its results for two segments: banking and factoring. The Company’s management uses segment results in its operating and strategic planning. ​ In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. ​ The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. ​ The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2020. ​ COVID-19 Capital and Liquidity While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by credit losses. The Company relies on cash on hand as well as dividends from its subsidiary bank to service its debt. If the Company’s capital deteriorates such that its subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to it for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to service its debt. ​ The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Company’s deposit customers to withdraw their funds, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding. ​ Asset Valuation ​ While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP. ​ The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Those developments and factors include the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the pandemic or address its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. We do not yet know the full extent of the impact. However, the effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, asset valuations, financial condition and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on our intangible assets, investments, loans, or deferred tax assets. ​ Reclassifications ​ Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or net change in cash and cash equivalents. ​ Adoption of New Accounting Standards ​ In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in prior GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected life-of-instrument credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate future credit loss estimates. As Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) encompasses all financial assets carried at amortized cost, the requirement that reserves be established based on an organization’s reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses extends to held-to-maturity debt securities. The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods after January 1, 2020, are presented under Topic 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. ​ ​ The following table shows the impact of adopting CECL on January 1, 2020: ​

​ For CECL modeling purposes, the Company uses forecast data for the state of California including Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and unemployment projections provided by the California Economic Forecast (“CEF”, www.CaliforniaForecast.com). At January 1, 2020, the forecast for California GDP for 2020 was an annual increase in the low single digits and the forecasted California unemployment rate for 2020 was in the mid single digits. ​ As of the implementation date of January 1, 2020, the Company recognized an increase of $8,570,000 to its allowance for credit losses for loans. The majority of this increase is related to loan portfolios acquired in our recent acquisitions that under the previous methodology were covered by the purchase discount on acquired loans. The cumulative-effect adjustment as a result of the adoption of this guidance was recorded, net of tax of $2.4 million, was a $6.1 million reduction to retained earnings effective January 1, 2020. ​ As of the implementation date, there was a $58,000 allowance for losses recorded on the Company’s held-to-maturity municipal investment securities portfolio. For the six month ended June 30, 2020, there was a reduction of $3,000 to the allowance for losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity municipal investment securities portfolio. This reduction was the result of a reduction in municipal securities amortized balances resulting from regular payments. The allowance for losses on held-to-maturity securities is based on historic loss rates of municipal securities by bond ratings and change in bond ratings of the municipal securities held by the Company will impact the reserve. The bond ratings for the Company’s municipal investment securities at June 30, 2020 were consistent with the ratings at January 1, 2020. Any ratings downgrades on these securities will impact the allowance for losses on these securities. ​ In the normal course of business, the Company makes commitments to extend credit to its customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in contractual arrangements. These commitments are obligations that represent a potential credit risk to the Company, yet are not reflected in any form within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of the implementation date, there was a reduction of $207,000 to the allowance for losses recorded for the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures. The reduction in reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures at implementation was primarily driven by applying a lower estimated CECL loss factor for unfunded commercial loan and construction loan commitments. For the six month ended June 30, 2020, there was an increase of $522,000 to the allowance for losses for the Company’s off-balance sheet credit exposures. The increase in the allowance for losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures in the first quarter 2020 was driven by increased loss factors in the CECL model for all loan segments with off-balance sheet exposures which resulted from deterioration in the economic forecast assumptions used in the CECL model. ​ In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The provisions of the update eliminate the existing second step of the goodwill impairment test which provides for the allocation of reporting unit fair value among existing assets and liabilities, with the net remaining amount representing the implied fair value of goodwill. In replacement of the existing goodwill impairment rule, the update will provide that impairment should be recognized as the excess of any of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the provisions of this update, the amount of the impairment is limited to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The amendments of the update became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020.
