NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in Cass Information System, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “Cass”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K").
Note 2 – Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires that intangibles with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment, or when management deems there is a triggering event, and those with finite useful lives be amortized over their useful lives.
Details of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows:

| June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
(In thousands) | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization
Assets eligible for amortization: |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Total intangible assets | $ | 27,936 |  |  | $ | (6,892) |  |  | $ | 27,936 |  |  | $ | (6,501) |

The customer lists are amortized over 7 to 10 years; the patents over 18 years; software over 3 to 7 years; the trade name over 10 to 20 years; and other intangible assets over 15 years. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to $195,000 and $155,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to $390,000 and $290,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Estimated annual amortization of intangibles is $780,000 in 2023, $738,000 in 2024, $730,000 in 2025, $582,000 in 2026, and $262,000 in 2027.
Note 3 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding. Under the treasury stock method, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the SAR price during a period.

Note 4 – Stock Repurchases
The Company maintains a treasury stock buyback program pursuant to which, in October 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with no expiration date. As of June 30, 2023, 277,402 shares remained available for repurchase under the program. The Company repurchased 63,305 and 5,500 shares during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 63,305 and 130,374 shares during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through negotiated transactions from time to time depending on market conditions.
Note 5 – Industry Segment Information
The services provided by the Company are classified into two reportable segments: Information Services and Banking Services. Each of these segments provides distinct services that are marketed through different channels. They are managed separately due to their unique service and processing requirements.
The Information Services segment provides transportation, energy, telecommunication, and environmental invoice processing and payment services to large corporations. In addition, this segment provides church management software and on-line generosity services primarily for faith-based ministries. The Banking Services segment provides banking services primarily to privately held businesses, franchise restaurants, and faith-based ministries, as well as supporting the banking needs of the Information Services segment.
The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. Management evaluates segment performance based on pre-tax income after allocations for corporate expenses. Transactions between segments are accounted for at what management believes to be fair value.
Substantially all revenue originates from, and all long-lived assets are located within, the United States and no revenue from any customer of any segment exceeds 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue.
Funding sources represent average balances and deposits generated by Information Services and Banking Services and there is no allocation methodology used. Banking Services interest income is determined by actual interest income on loans minus actual interest expense paid on deposits plus/minus an allocation for interest income or expense dependent on the remaining available liquidity of the segment. Information Services interest income is determined by multiplying available liquidity by actual yields on short-term investments and investment securities.
Any difference between total segment interest income and overall total Company interest income is included in Corporate, Eliminations, and Other.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02") effective January 1, 2023. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the recognition and measure of troubled debt restructurings and enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In some cases, these modifications may result in new loans. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may be in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension, or a combination thereof, among other things.
The following table shows the amortized cost of loans at June 30, 2023 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the six months ended June 30, 2023, segregated by category and type of modification.

(1) | For the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and year-ended December 31, 2022, there was a release of credit losses of $115,000 and $135,000, respectively, for unfunded commitments.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risks that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments and commitments under operating leases. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. The Company’s maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting standards as those financial instruments included on the consolidated balance sheets. An allowance for unfunded commitments of $117,000 and $232,000 had been recorded at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
At June 30, 2023, the balances of unfunded commitments, standby and commercial letters of credit were $198.2 million, $14.0 million, and $822,000, respectively. Since some of the financial instruments may expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation awards have historically been issued under the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock and Performance Compensation Plan (the "Prior Plan"), which was amended and last approved by shareholders in 2013. The Company issued shares out of treasury stock for these awards until the expiration of the Prior Plan on April 17, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 35,035 restricted shares and 48,262 performance-based restricted shares were granted under the Prior Plan.
On February 16, 2023, the Board of Directors adopted the 2023 Omnibus Stock and Performance Compensation Plan (the "2023 Omnibus Plan") to replace the Prior Plan, subject to shareholder approval which occurred on April 18, 2023. Subsequent to this date, the Company will issue stock-based compensation awards under the 2023 Omnibus Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 19,687 restricted shares and 3,191 performance-based restricted shares were granted under the 2023 Omnibus Plan.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $909,000 and $2.1 million, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Restricted Stock
Restricted shares granted to Company employees are amortized to expense over a three-year cliff vesting period, or until vesting occurs upon retirement. Restricted shares granted to members of the Board of Directors are amortized to expense over a one-year service period, with the exception of those shares granted in lieu of cash payments for retainer fees which are expensed in the period earned.

As of June 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $2.4 million, and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 0.77 years.
Following is a summary of the activity of the Company's restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2023, with total shares and weighted-average fair value:

Performance-Based Restricted Stock
The Company has granted three-year performance-based restricted stock (“PBRS”) awards which are contingent upon the Company’s achievement of pre-established financial goals over a three-year cliff vest period. The number of shares issued ranges from 0% to 150% of the target opportunity based on the actual achievement of financial goals for the three-year performance period.
Following is a summary of the activity of the PBRS for the six months ended June 30, 2023, based on 100% of target value:

| Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Balance at June 30, 2023 | 159,073 |  |  | $ | 42.74 |

The PBRS that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were based on the Company's achievement of 86.7% of target financial goals, resulting in the issuance of 26,499 shares of common stock. The outstanding PBRS at June 30, 2023 will vest at scheduled vesting dates and the actual number of shares of common stock issued will range from 0% to 150% of the target opportunity based on the actual achievement of financial goals for the respective three-year performance period.

Note 9 – Defined Pension Plans
The Company has a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan (the “Plan”), which covers eligible employees. Effective December 31, 2016, the Plan was closed to all new participants. Additionally, the Plan’s benefits were frozen for all remaining participants as of February 28, 2021. As such, subsequent to February 28, 2021, there is no service cost associated with the Plan. The following table represents the components of net periodic pension cost (benefit):

(In thousands) | Estimated 2023 |  | Actual 2022
Interest cost on projected benefit obligations | $ | 4,375 |  |  | $ | 3,293 |
Expected return on plan assets | (3,977) |  |  | (5,857) |
Net periodic pension cost (benefit) | $ | 398 |  |  | $ | (2,564) |

The Company recorded a net periodic pension cost of $138,000 and $273,000 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and a net periodic pension benefit of $613,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company made no contributions to the Plan during the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and is evaluating the amount of contributions, if any, for the remainder of 2023.
In addition to the above funded defined-benefit pension plan, the Company has an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (the "SERP"). There are no current employees earning benefits and therefore, there is no service cost associated with the SERP. The following table represents the components of the net periodic cost for the SERP:

(In thousands) | Estimated 2023 |  | Actual 2022
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation | $ | 472 |  |  | $ | 318 |
Net amortization | — |  |  | 108 |
Net periodic pension cost | $ | 472 |  |  | $ | 426 |

SERP cost recorded to expense was $118,000 and $236,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $106,000 and $213,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Note 10 – Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 19.5% and 20.1% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 19.1% and 19.4% for the three and six month periods June 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for all periods differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax-exempt interest received from municipal bonds and bank-owned life insurance, among other factors. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022 is primarily a result of lower tax-exempt income.
Note 11 – Investment in Securities
Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value using Level 2 valuations. The market evaluation utilizes several sources which include “observable inputs” rather than “significant unobservable inputs” and therefore fall into the Level 2

There were 280 securities, or 98.9% (183 of which for greater than 12 months), in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023. The unrealized losses at June 30, 2023 were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates after the securities were purchased. The Company does not currently intend to sell and, based on current conditions, the Company does not believe it will be required to sell these available-for-sale securities before the recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be the maturity dates of the securities. Therefore, the unrealized losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. There were 311 securities, or 91.7% (101 of which for greater than 12 months), in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had not recorded an allowance for credit losses on securities.

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments:

| June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
(In thousands) | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value
Balance sheet assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Total | $ | 1,958,430 |  |  | $ | 1,909,711 |  |  | $ | 2,033,074 |  |  | $ | 1,968,389 |
Balance sheet liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Deposits | $ | 1,191,434 |  |  | $ | 1,191,434 |  |  | $ | 1,257,217 |  |  | $ | 1,257,217 |
Accounts and drafts payable | 1,021,524 |  |  | 1,021,524 |  |  | 1,067,600 |  |  | 1,067,600 |
Accrued interest payable | 307 |  |  | 307 |  |  | 66 |  |  | 66 |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Investment in Securities - The fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 valuations. Refer to Note 11, “Investment in Securities,” for fair value and unrealized gains and losses by investment type.
Loans - The fair value is estimated using present values of future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted interest rates for each loan category designated by management and is therefore a Level 3 valuation. Management believes that the risk factor embedded in the interest rates along with the allowance for credit losses result in a fair valuation.
Accrued Interest Receivable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities and therefore, is a Level 2 valuation. The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market or the benefit derived from the customer relationship inherent in existing deposits.
Accounts and Drafts Payable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Accrued Interest Payable - The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Note 13 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is recognized as the obligation to the customer is satisfied. The following is detail of the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients.
Processing fees – The Company earns fees on a per-item or monthly basis for the invoice processing services rendered on behalf of customers. Per-item fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied. Monthly fees are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the performance obligation is satisfied. The contracts have no significant impact of variable consideration and no significant financing components.
Financial fees – The Company earns fees on a transaction level basis for invoice payment services when making customer payments. Fees are recognized at the point in time when the payment transactions are made, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. The contracts have no significant impact of variable consideration and no significant financing components.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Cass Information Systems, Inc. ("Cass" or the "Company") provides payment and information processing services to large manufacturing, distribution and retail enterprises across the United States. The Company’s services include freight invoice rating, payment processing, auditing, and the generation of accounting and transportation information. Cass also processes and pays facility-related invoices, which include electricity and gas as well as waste and telecommunications expenses, and is a provider of telecom expense management solutions. Cass solutions include integrated payments, a B2B payment platform for clients that require an agile fintech partner. Additionally, the Company offers a church management software solution and an on-line platform to provide generosity services for faith-based and non-profit organizations. The Company’s bank subsidiary, Cass Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), supports the Company’s payment operations. The Bank also provides banking services to its target markets, which include privately held businesses in the St. Louis metropolitan area and restaurant franchises and faith-based ministries within the United States.
In general, Cass is compensated for its information processing services through service fees, transactional level payment services, and investment of account balances generated during the payment process. Both the number of transactions processed and the dollar volume processed are therefore key metrics followed by management. The Bank earns most of its revenue from net interest income.
Various factors will influence the Company’s revenue and profitability, such as changes in the general level of interest rates, which has a significant effect on net interest income; industry-wide factors, such as the willingness of large corporations to outsource key business functions, the general level of transportation costs, deregulation of energy costs, and consolidation of telecommunication providers; and economic factors that include the general level of economic activity, the ability to hire and retain qualified staff, and the growth and quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s revenue drivers and factors that impact the Company’s results of operation and financial condition generally, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Recent Industry Developments
During the first and into the second quarter of 2023, the banking industry experienced significant volatility with high-profile bank failures and industry wide concerns related to liquidity, deposit outflows, overall level of deposit cost, unrealized securities losses and eroding consumer confidence in the banking system. The Company's average deposits have declined $167.6 million, or 13.6%, from the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of larger commercial depository clients moving their funds to higher interest rate alternatives outside of the Company.
During the first half of 2023, the transportation industry has seen a decline in both fuel costs and overall freight rates. Primarily as a result, the Company's average accounts and drafts payable has declined $86.2 million, or 7.6%, from the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2023. Transportation dollar volumes are key to the Company’s revenue as higher volumes generally lead to an increase in payment float, which generates interest income, as well as an increase in payments in advance of funding, which generates financial fees.
Despite the decline in average deposits and average accounts and drafts payable, the Company’s liquidity position and balance sheet remains strong. The Company has experienced recent stabilization in its deposit balances as a result of an increase in deposit rates and increased depositor confidence across the banking industry. Average deposits increased $7.3 million in June 2023 as compared to May 2023. Despite the decrease in average funding sources, the Company maintained average short-term investments of $185.2 million during the second quarter of 2023. In addition, all of the Company's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and there were no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2023.
As a result of rising inflation, the Federal Reserve increased the Federal Funds rate over the course of 2022 and into the first six months of 2023. The increase in the Federal Funds rate has contributed to the increase in the Company's net interest margin, therefore positively impacting net interest income. Inflation has also had the impact of increasing operating expenses, such as compensation expense.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements in this report in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management
-22-

Table of Contents
makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates have been generally accurate in the past, have been consistent and have not required any material changes. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The accounting policy that requires significant management estimates and is deemed critical to the Company’s results of operations or financial position has been discussed with the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors and is described below.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The Company performs periodic and systematic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio to determine management’s estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses. Although these estimates are based on established methodologies for determining allowance requirements, actual results can differ significantly from estimated results. These policies affect both segments of the Company. The impact and associated risks related to these policies on the Company’s business operations are discussed in the “Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Unfunded Commitments” section of this report.
Results of Operations
The following paragraphs more fully discuss the results of operations and changes in financial condition for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 (“second quarter of 2023”) compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2022 (“second quarter of 2022”) and the six month period ended June 30, 2023 ("first half of 2023") compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2022 ("first half of 2022"). The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report, as well as in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments, and other earning assets and interest expense on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s revenues. The following table summarizes the changes in tax-equivalent net interest income and related factors:

(In thousands) | Second Quarter of |  | First Half of

*Presented on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a tax rate of 21% for both 2023 and 2022.
Second quarter of 2023 compared to second quarter of 2022:
The increase in net interest income is primarily due to an increase in the Federal Funds rate throughout 2022 and into the first half of 2023, positively affecting the net interest margin which increased to 3.25% as compared to 2.54% in the prior year. This was partially offset by the decrease of average earning assets by $211.9 million, or 9.5%. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 138 basis points from 2.60% to 3.98% while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 267 basis points from 0.22% to 2.89%.
Average loans increased $102.0 million, or 10.5%, to $1.1 billion. This increase was due to loan growth during the second half of 2022, specifically in the Company's franchise restaurants, faith-based, and lease financing receivables portfolios. The average yield on loans increased 107 basis points to 4.82% primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
Average investment securities decreased $48.2 million, or 6.0%, due to the sale and maturity of investment securities throughout the first half of 2023. The average yield on taxable investment securities increased 85 basis points to 2.63% as a result of the increase in short and long-term interest rates. The average yield on tax-exempt investment securities declined 25 basis points to 2.68%. These securities are longer term fixed rate and the Company has not purchased any such securities since interest rates began increasing.
Average short-term investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold, decreased $265.7 million, or 58.9%. The decrease is primarily a result of the increase in the average balances of loans, coupled with the decrease in average funding sources, partially offset by a decrease in average investment securities. The average yield on short-term investments increased 370 basis points to 4.55% primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates that began in March 2022. The vast majority of these short-term investments are held at the Federal Reserve Bank.
The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $96.5 million, or 15.9%. Average demand deposits decreased $71.2 million, or 11.4%. The Company has experienced deposit attrition as larger commercial depository clients moved their funds to higher interest rate alternatives outside the Company. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 266 basis points to 2.88% due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
Average accounts and drafts payable decreased $86.2 million, or 7.6%. The decrease in average accounts and drafts payable was primarily driven by the decrease in transportation dollar volumes of 14.9%.
First half of 2023 compared to first half of 2022:
Net interest income in the first half of 2023 increased primarily due to an increase in the Federal Funds rate throughout 2022 and into the first half of 2023, positively affecting the net interest margin which increased to 3.24% as compared to 2.45% in the prior year. This was partially offset by the decrease of average earning assets by $86.7 million, or 4.0%. The

yield on interest-earning assets increased 141 basis points from 2.50% to 3.91% while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 233 basis points from 0.19% to 2.52%.
Average loans increased $109.2 million, or 11.3%, to $1.1 billion. This increase was due to loan growth during 2022, specifically in the Company's franchise restaurants, faith-based, and lease financing receivables portfolios. The average yield on loans increased 99 basis points to 4.72% primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
Average investment securities increased $26.0 million, or 3.5%, as cash provided by increases in funding sources was utilized to purchase investment securities during 2022. The average yield on taxable investment securities increased 93 basis points to 2.59% as a result of the increase in short and long-term interest rates. The average yield on tax-exempt investment securities declined 17 basis points to 2.75%.
Average short-term investments decreased $221.9 million, or 48.0%. The decrease is primarily a result of the increase in the average balance of loans, coupled with the decrease in average funding sources. The average yield on short-term investments increased 387 basis points to 4.38% primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $49.5 million, or 8.3%. Average demand deposits decreased $45.9 million, or 7.7%. The Company has experienced deposit attrition as larger commercial depository clients moved their funds to higher interest rate alternatives outside the Company. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 231 basis points to 2.50% due to the increase in short-term interest rates.
Average accounts and drafts payable decreased $39.8 million, or 3.6%. The decrease in average accounts and drafts payable was primarily driven by the decrease in transportation expense dollar volumes of 10.3%, partially offset by the increase in facility-related dollar volumes of 7.4%.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Unfunded Commitments
The Company recorded a release of credit losses and off-balance sheet credit exposures of $120,000 and a provision for credit losses of $70,000 in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded a release of credit losses and off-balance sheet credit exposures of $460,000 and a provision for credit losses of $300,000 in the first half of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The amount of the (release of) provision for credit losses is derived from the Company’s quarterly Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The amount of the (release of) provision for credit losses will fluctuate as determined by these quarterly analyses. The release of credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2023 was primarily driven by the decrease in loan balances outstanding from December 31, 2022.
The Company experienced no loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022. The ACL was $13.2 million at June 30, 2023 and $13.5 million at December 31, 2022. The ACL represented 1.25% of outstanding loans at June 30, 2023 and 1.25% of outstanding loans at December 31, 2022. The allowance for unfunded commitments was $117,000 at June 30, 2023 and $232,000 at December 31, 2022. There were no nonperforming loans outstanding at June 30, 2023. The Company had one loan that was considered an individually evaluated credit at December 31, 2022, with no specific allowance. This loan was paid off in full in January 2023.
The ACL has been established and is maintained to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. An ongoing assessment is performed to determine if the balance is adequate. Charges or credits are made to expense based on changes in the economic forecast, qualitative risk factors, loan volume, and individual loans. For loans that are individually evaluated, the Company uses two impairment measurement methods: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows and 2) collateral value.
The Company also utilizes ratio analyses to evaluate the overall reasonableness of the ACL compared to its peers and required levels of regulatory capital. Federal and state regulatory agencies review the Company’s methodology for maintaining the ACL. These agencies may require the Company to adjust the ACL based on their judgments and interpretations about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Second quarter of 2023 compared to second quarter of 2022:
Personnel expenses increased $3.4 million, or 13.1%. Salaries and commissions increased $2.7 million, or 12.8%, as a result of merit increases, wage pressures, and an increase in average full-time equivalent employees of 10.9% due to strategic investments in various technology initiatives. Share-based compensation decreased $923,000 primarily related to revaluation of performance-based restricted shares in the second quarter of 2022. Pension expense increased $750,000. Despite the Company’s defined benefit pension plan being frozen in the first quarter of 2021, resulting in no service cost in subsequent periods, expense increased as a result of the accounting impact of the decline in plan assets during 2022 and corresponding decline in expected return on plan assets for 2023. Other benefits, such as 401(k) match, health insurance and payroll taxes, increased $887,000, or 22.9%, primarily due to the 10.9% increase in average full-time equivalent employees as well as a significant increase in employer health insurance costs over prior year levels.
Other operating expenses increased $2.2 million, or 44.7%. Certain expense categories such as outside service fees and data processing are elevated as the Company invests in, and transitions to, improved technology. Multiple technology platforms are being maintained prior to switching over to what the Company believes will be more efficient technology platforms for facility and transportation data entry processing by the end of 2023.
First half of 2023 compared to first half of 2022:
Personnel expenses increased $8.7 million, or 17.2%, which included a salary and commission increase of $5.7 million, or 13.9%. Share-based compensation decreased $313,000, and pension expense increased $1.5 million. Other benefits, such as 401(k) match, health insurance and payroll taxes, increased $1.9 million, or 22.5%. These personnel expense changes were all a result of the same factors as the second quarter of 2023.
Other operating expenses increased $5.5 million, or 59.4%, a result of the same factors as the second quarter of 2023.
Financial Condition
Total assets at June 30, 2023 were $2.5 billion, a decrease of $102.2 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2022.
The Company experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $69.5 million, or 34.6% during the first half of 2023. The change in cash and cash equivalents reflects the Company’s daily liquidity position and is primarily affected by changes in funding sources, mainly accounts and drafts payable and deposits, cash flows in and out of loans, investments securities and payments in advance of funding.
The investment securities portfolio decreased $117.0 million, or 15.5%, during the first half of 2023. The decrease is due to the sale of $111.1 million of available-for-sale securities and maturities of $22.5 million, partially offset by purchases of $15.3 million.
Loans decreased $27.1 million, or 2.5% from December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in lease financing receivables of $26.5 million.
Payments in advance of funding decreased $24.6 million, or 8.4%. The decrease is primarily due to a 14.9% decrease in transportation dollar volumes, which led to fewer dollars advanced to freight carriers.

Table of Contents
Accounts and drafts receivable from customers decreased $12.2 million, or 12.7%, from December 31, 2022. The decrease is solely due to timing of customer funding.
Total deposits at June 30, 2023 were $1.2 billion, a decrease of $65.8 million, or 5.2%, from December 31, 2022. The Company experienced deposit attrition as larger depository clients moved their funds to higher interest rate alternatives outside of Cass Commercial Bank.
Accounts and drafts payable at June 30, 2023 were $1.0 billion, a decrease of $46.1 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2022. The decrease in these balances, which are non-interest bearing, are primarily reflective of the decrease in fuel costs and overall freight rates in the transportation industry. Accounts and drafts payable are a stable source of funding generated by payment float from transportation and facility clients. Accounts and drafts payable will fluctuate from period-end to period-end due to the payment processing cycle, which results in lower balances on days when payments clear and higher balances on days when payments are issued. For this reason, average balances are generally a more meaningful measure of accounts and drafts payable.
Total liabilities at June 30, 2023 were $2.3 billion, a decrease of $111.0 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2022.
Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2023 was $215.1 million, an $8.8 million, or 4.3%, increase from December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity is a result of year-to-date 2023 earnings of $14.3 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.9 million due to the decline in market interest rates and resulting positive impact on the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities. These increases were partially offset by dividends paid of $7.9 million and the repurchase of Company stock of $2.4 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The discipline of liquidity management as practiced by the Company seeks to ensure that funds are available to fulfill all payment obligations relating to invoices processed as they become due and meet depositor withdrawal requests and borrower credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in supply of funds. Primary liquidity to meet demand is provided by short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, maturing securities and the ability to obtain funds from external sources. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee has direct oversight responsibility for the Company's liquidity position and profile. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items in its evaluation of liquidity.
The balance of liquid assets consists of cash and cash equivalents, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds sold and money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $270.5 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $69.5 million, or 34.6%, from December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, these assets represented 10.9% of total assets and are the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ primary source of liquidity to meet future expected and unexpected loan demand, depositor withdrawals or reductions in accounts and drafts payable.
Secondary sources of liquidity include the investment portfolio and borrowing lines. Total investment securities were $637.5 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $117.0 million from December 31, 2022. These assets represented 25.8% of total assets at June 30, 2023. Of the total portfolio, 17.6% mature in one year, 22.3% mature in one to five years, and 60.1% mature in five or more years.
The Bank has unsecured lines of credit at six correspondent banks to purchase federal funds up to a maximum of $83.0 million in aggregate. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank also has secured lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $214.3 million collateralized by mortgage loans. The Company also has secured lines of credit from three banks up to a maximum of $250.0 million in aggregate collateralized by investment securities. There were no amounts outstanding under any line of credit as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The deposits of the Company's banking subsidiary have historically been stable, consisting of a sizable volume of core deposits related to customers that utilize other commercial products of the Bank, including CassPay and faith-based customers. The accounts and drafts payable generated by the Company has also historically been a stable source of funds. The Company is part of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) deposit placement programs. Time deposits include $36.5 million of CDARS deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits include $125.8 million of ICS deposits. These programs offer the Bank’s customers the ability to maximize Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage. The Company uses these programs to retain or attract deposits from existing customers.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $14.1 million. Net cash flows from investing and financing activities fluctuate greatly as the Company actively manages its investment and loan portfolios and customer activity influences changes in deposit and accounts and drafts payable balances. Other causes for the changes in these account balances are discussed earlier in this report. Due to the daily fluctuations in these account balances, the analysis of changes in average balances, also discussed earlier in this report, can be more indicative of underlying activity than the period-end balances used in the statements of cash flows. Management anticipates that cash and cash equivalents, maturing investments and cash from operations will continue to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and capital expenditures in 2023, which are estimated to range from $8 million to $10 million.
Net income plus amortization of intangible assets, net amortization of premium/discount on investment securities and depreciation of premises and equipment was $19.0 million and $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $3.5 million. The decrease was due to lower net income of $2.6 million and lower net amortization of premium/discount on investment securities of $1.0 million. The net amortization of premium/discount on investment securities is dependent on the type of securities purchased and changes in the prevailing market interest rate environment.
Other factors impacting the $14.1 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities include:
•A decrease in other operating activities, net of $5.9 million, primarily due to changes in various accounts receivable and payable;
•An increase in accounts receivable of $3.6 million due to the timing of customer payments;
•A decrease in current income tax liability of $1.7 million; and
•A change in the (release of) provision for credit losses of $760,000 primarily due to changes in loans outstanding during the respective periods.
These factors were partially offset by an increase in the pension liability of $1.5 million.
The Company faces market risk to the extent that its net interest income and fair market value of equity are affected by changes in market interest rates. For information regarding the market risk of the Company’s financial instruments, see Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
There are several trends and uncertainties that may impact the Company’s ability to generate revenues and income at the levels that it has in the past. Those that could significantly impact the Company include the general levels of interest rates, business activity, inflation, and energy costs as well as new business opportunities available to the Company. For more detailed information on these trends and uncertainties and how they can generally affect the Company’s available liquidity, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
As a bank holding company, the Company and the Bank are subject to capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines, and, for banks, prompt correct action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. In addition, the calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations. For example, as allowed under the Basel III Capital Rules, the Company has elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in common equity Tier 1 capital. For more information on these regulatory requirements, including the Basel III Capital Rules and capital classifications, see Item 1, "Business-Supervision and Regulation" of the Company's 2022 Form 10-K.

Impact of New and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses and enhances the disclosure requirements for loan restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, entities are required to evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or continuation of an existing loan. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current period gross charge-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of this ASU effective January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As described in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company manages its interest rate risk through measurement techniques that include gap analysis and a simulation model. As part of the risk management process, asset/liability management policies are established and monitored by management.
The following table summarizes simulated changes in net interest income versus unchanged rates over the next 12 months as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

| % change in projected net interest income
|  | June 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
+200 basis points |  | 12.7 | % |  | 10.6 | %
+100 basis points |  | 7.4 | % |  | 4.2 | %
Flat rates |  | — | % |  | — | %
-100 basis points |  | (3.3) | % |  | — | %
-200 basis points |  | (5.7) | % |  | (1.5) | %

The Company is generally asset sensitive as average interest-earning assets of $2.0 billion for the second quarter of 2023 greatly exceeded average interest-bearing liabilities of $512.5 million. The table above on the projected impact of interest rate shocks results from a static balance sheet at June 30, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that, as of such date, these controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in the second quarter of 2023 in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer in connection with their evaluation that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings, including those that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of all such proceedings will not have a material effect on the businesses or financial conditions of the Company or its subsidiaries.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company has included in Part I, Item 1A of its 2022 Form 10-K, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). Except as set forth below, there are no material changes to the Risk Factors as disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
The Company could experience an unexpected inability to obtain needed liquidity which could adversely affect the Company's business, profitability, and viability as a going concern.
Liquidity measures the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits, and to take advantage of interest rate market opportunities and is essential to a financial institution’s business. The ability of a financial institution to meet its current financial obligations is a function of its balance sheet structure, its ability to liquidate assets, and its access to alternative sources of funds. The bank failures in March 2023 exemplify the potential serious results of the unexpected inability of insured depository institutions to obtain needed liquidity to satisfy deposit withdrawal requests, including how quickly such requests can accelerate once uninsured depositors lose confidence in an institution's ability to satisfy its obligations to depositors. The Company seeks to ensure funding needs are met by maintaining a level of liquidity through asset and liability management. If the Company becomes unable to obtain funds when needed, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Recent negative developments affecting the banking industry, and resulting media coverage, have eroded customer confidence in the banking system.
The recent high-profile bank failures have generated significant market volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies. These market developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness of regional banks. As a result, customers may choose to maintain deposits with larger financial institutions or invest in higher yielding short-term fixed income securities, all of which could materially adversely impact the Company’s liquidity, loan funding capacity, net interest margin, capital and results of operations. While the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC have made statements ensuring that depositors of these recently failed banks would have access to their deposits, including uninsured deposit accounts, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful in restoring customer confidence in regional banks and the banking system more broadly.
Rising interest rates have decreased the value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, and the Company would realize losses if it were required to sell such securities to meet liquidity needs.
As a result of inflationary pressures and the resulting rapid increases in interest rates over the last year, the fair value of previously issued government and other fixed income securities has declined significantly, resulting in unrealized losses. While the Company does not currently intend to sell these securities, if the Company were required to sell such securities to meet liquidity needs, it may incur losses, which could impair the Company’s capital, financial condition, and results of operations and require the Company to raise additional capital on unfavorable terms, thereby negatively impacting its profitability. While the Company has taken actions to maximize its funding sources, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful or sufficient in the event of sudden liquidity needs. Furthermore, while the Federal Reserve Board has announced a Bank Term Funding Program available to eligible depository institutions secured by U.S. Treasuries, agency debt, mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral at par to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, there is no guarantee that such programs will be effective in addressing liquidity needs as they arise.
Any regulatory examination scrutiny or new regulatory requirements arising from the recent events in the banking industry could increase the Company’s expenses and affect the Company’s operations.
The Company anticipates increased regulatory scrutiny and new regulations designed to address the recent negative developments in the banking industry, all of which may increase the Company’s costs of doing business and reduce its

profitability. Among other things, there may be an increased focus by regulators on deposit composition and the level of uninsured deposits. As primarily a commercial bank, the Bank has a higher degree of uninsured deposits compared to larger national banks or smaller community banks with a stronger focus on retail deposits. As a result, the Bank could face increased scrutiny or be viewed as higher risk.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 63,305 shares of its common stock pursuant to its treasury stock buyback program, as follows:

Period | Total Number of Shares Purchased |  | Average Price Paid per Share |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs 1 |  | Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
April 1, 2023–April 30, 2023 | 13,678 |  |  | $ | 37.10 |  |  | 13,678 |  |  | 327,029 |
May 1, 2023–May 31, 2023 | 45,921 |  |  | 37.56 |  |  | 45,921 |  |  | 281,108 |
June 1, 2023–June 30, 2023 | 3,706 |  |  | 39.13 |  |  | 3,706 |  |  | 277,402 |
Total | 63,305 |  |  | $ | 37.55 |  |  | 63,305 |  |  | 277,402 |

(1)All repurchases made during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were made pursuant to the treasury stock buyback program, authorized by the Board of Directors on October 19, 2021 and announced by the Company on October 21, 2021. The program provides that the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock and has no expiration date.
