Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and HB Investment Fund I, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, income taxes, the valuation of foreclosed assets and surplus real estate ("ORE"), goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisition accounting valuations and valuation of share-based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with the FHLB. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less (excluding interest-bearing deposits in banks) to be cash equivalents. The Bank may be required to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. The requirement is dependent upon the Bank’s cash on hand or noninterest-bearing balances. There was no reserve requirement as of December 31, 2019 or 2018.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities The Company follows the guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. This standard addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Under the topic, investment securities, which the Company both positively intends and has the ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investment securities that are acquired with the intention of being resold in the near term are classified as trading securities under ASC 320 and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not hold any securities for trading purposes at, or during the years ended, December 31, 2019 or 2018. Securities not meeting the criteria of either trading securities or held to maturity are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses for these securities are recognized, net of related income tax effects, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Interest income earned on securities either held to maturity or available for sale is included in current earnings, including the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the interest method. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to the yield. The gain or loss realized on the sale of securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity, as determined using the specific identification method for determining the cost of the securities sold, is computed with reference to its amortized cost and is also included in current earnings. The Company reviews investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment quarterly. Impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary if it is likely that all amounts contractually due will not be received for debt securities and when there is no positive evidence indicating that an investment’s carrying amount is recoverable in the near term for equity securities. When a decline in the fair value of available for sale and held to maturity securities below cost is deemed to be credit related, a charge for other-than-temporary impairment is included in earnings as “Other-than-temporary impairment of securities”. The decline in fair value attributed to non-credit related factors is recognized in other comprehensive income and a new cost basis for the security is established. The new cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Increases and decreases between fair value and cost on available for sale securities are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In evaluating whether impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary, the Company considers, among other things, the time period the security has been in an unrealized loss position; the financial condition of the issuer and its industry; recommendations of investment advisors; economic forecasts; market or industry trends; changes in tax laws, regulations or other governmental policies significantly affecting the issuer; any downgrades from rating agencies; and any reduction or elimination of dividends. The Company’s intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value is also considered.
Loans Held for Sale	Loans Held for Sale The Company sells mortgage loans and loan participations for an amount equal to the principal amount of loans or participations with yields to investors based upon current market rates. Realized gains and losses related to loan sales are included in noninterest income. The Company allocates the cost to acquire or originate a mortgage loan between the loan and the right to service the loan if it intends to sell or securitize the loan and retain servicing rights. In addition, the Company periodically assesses capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of such rights. To the extent that temporary impairment exists, write-downs are recognized in current earnings as an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance. Permanent impairment is recognized through a write-down of the asset with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. For purposes of performing its impairment evaluation, the portfolio is stratified on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rates. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized over the period of, and in proportion to, estimated net servicing income, which considers appropriate prepayment assumptions. For financial reporting purposes, the Company classifies a portion of its loans as “Mortgage loans held for sale”. Included in this category are loans which the Company has the current intent to sell and loans which are available to be sold in the event that the Company determines that loans should be sold to support the Company’s investment and liquidity objectives, as well as to support its overall asset and liability management strategies. Loans included in this category for which the Company has the current intention to sell are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value.
Loans	Loans The following describes the distinction between originated and acquired loans and certain significant accounting policies relevant to each category. Originated Loans Originated loans are carried net of discounts on loan originations and are amortized using the level yield interest method over the remaining contractual life of the loan. Nonrefundable loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield using the interest method. Interest on loans receivable is accrued as earned using the interest method over the life of the loan. Interest on loans deemed uncollectible is excluded from income. The accrual of interest is discontinued and reversed against current income once loans become more than 90 days past due or earlier if conditions warrant. The past due status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is charged against interest income on loans. Interest payments are applied to reduce the principal balance on nonaccrual loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when all past due payments are received in full and future payments are probable. Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is made that a loan has deteriorated to the point of being deemed a criticized or classified loan, updated valuations may be ordered to help determine if there is impairment, which may lead to a recommendation for partial charge off or appropriate allowance allocation. Property valuations are ordered through, and reviewed by, the Company’s Appraisal and Review Department. The Company typically orders an “as is” valuation for collateral property if the loan is in a criticized loan classification. Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The collectability of individual loans is determined through an estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral and/or assessment of the financial condition and repayment capacity of the borrower. Acquired Loans Acquired loans at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are those associated with our acquisitions of Statewide, GSFC, Britton & Koontz, Louisiana Bancorp and SMB. These loans were recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. The acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be performing (“acquired performing”) and those with evidence of credit deterioration (“acquired impaired”), and then further segregated into loan pools designed to facilitate the development of expected cash flows. The fair value estimate for each pool of acquired performing and acquired impaired loans was based on the estimate of expected cash flows, both principal and interest, from that pool, discounted at prevailing market interest rates. The difference between the fair value of an acquired performing loan pool and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date (the “fair value discount”) is accreted into income over the estimated life of the pool. Management estimates an allowance for loan losses for acquired performing loans using a methodology similar to that used for originated loans. The allowance determined for each loan pool is compared to the remaining fair value discount for that pool. If the allowance amount calculated under the Company’s methodology is greater than the Company’s remaining discount, the additional amount called for is added to the reported allowance through a provision for loan losses. If the allowance amount calculated under the Company’s methodology is less than the Company’s recorded discount, no additional allowance or provision is recognized. Actual losses first reduce any remaining fair value discount for the loan pool. Once the discount is fully depleted, losses are applied against the allowance established for that pool. Acquired performing loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered and reported as nonperforming or past due using the same criteria applied to the originated portfolio. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected from an acquired impaired loan pool over the pool’s estimated fair value at acquisition is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining life of the pool. Each pool of acquired impaired loans is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. Management recasts the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on each acquired impaired loan pool periodically. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool is less than its carrying value, an impairment is recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses and a charge to the provision for loan losses. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool is greater than its carrying value, any previously established allowance for loan losses is reversed and any remaining difference increases the accretable yield which will be taken into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pool. Acquired impaired loans are generally not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported with impaired loans, even if they would otherwise qualify for such treatment.
Allowance for Loan Losses	Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses on loans in our portfolio is maintained at an amount which management believes covers the reasonably estimable and probable losses on such portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general reserves. The Company determines specific reserves based on the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables. The Company’s allowance for loan losses includes a measure of impairment related to those loans specifically identified for evaluation under the topic. This measurement is based on a comparison of the recorded investment in the loan with either the expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s original effective interest rate, observable market price for the loan or the fair value of the collateral underlying certain collateral-dependent loans. General reserves are based on management’s evaluation of many factors, including current economic trends, industry experience, historical loss experience (generally three years), industry loan concentrations, the borrowers’ abilities to repay and repayment performance, probability of foreclosure and estimated collateral values. In addition to these factors, management also considers the following for each segment of the loan portfolio when determining general reserves: •Residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines - These categories consist of loans secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions and the interest rate environment. •Commercial Real Estate - This category consists of loans primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants. The performance of commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions specific to the relevant industry, the real estate market for the property type and geographic region where the property or borrower is located. •Construction and land - This category consists of loans to finance the ground-up construction and/or improvement of construction of residential and commercial properties and loans secured by land. The performance of construction and land loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of improvements and/or land development for the end user, the sale of the property to a third party, or a secondary source of cash flow from the owners. The successful completion of planned improvements and development maybe adversely affected by changes in the estimated property value upon completion of construction, projected costs and other conditions leading to project delays. •Multi-family residential - This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. The performance of multi-family loans is generally dependent on the receipt of rental income from the tenants who occupy the subject property. The occupancy rate of the subject property and the ability of the tenants to pay rent may be adversely affected by the location of the subject property and local economic conditions. •Commercial and industrial - This category consists of secured and unsecured loans to purchase capital equipment, agriculture operating loans and other business loans for working capital and operating purposes. Secured loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory and other business assets. The performance of commercial and industrial loans may be adversely affected by conditions specific to the relevant industry, fluctuations in the value of the collateral and individual performance factors related to the borrower. •Consumer and other - This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family and other personal use. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by national and local economic conditions, unemployment rates and other factors affecting the borrower's income available to service the debt. As these factors change, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are charged to current operations. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses once that determination is made. While management uses available information to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. The OCC, as an integral part of its examination processes, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it as of the time of its examinations. To the extent the OCC’s estimates differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required as of the time of its examination. As part of the Bank’s risk management program, an independent review is performed on the loan portfolio, which supplements management’s assessment of the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses. The result of the independent review is reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Foreclosed Assets and ORE	Foreclosed Assets and ORE Foreclosed assets and ("ORE") includes real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real property no longer used in the Bank's business. Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date acquired or upon receiving new property valuations. Write-downs from cost to fair value at the date of foreclosure are charged against the allowance for loan losses or acquired loan discounts . ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. Costs relating to the development and improvement of foreclosed assets and ORE are capitalized, and costs relating to holding and maintaining foreclosed assets and ORE are expensed. Valuations are performed periodically and a charge to operations is recorded if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less selling costs. Generally, the Company appraises foreclosed assets and ORE at the time of foreclosure or transfer to ORE and at least every 12 months following the foreclosure or transfer to ORE. When the foreclosed property is sold, a gain or loss is recognized on the sale for the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the property. Financed sales of foreclosed property are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Subtopic 20, Gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets (“ASC 610-20”). The Company had $4,156,000 and $1,558,000 of foreclosed assets and ORE as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Foreclosed assets and ORE are recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Other Investments	Other investments are carried at cost and consist of Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") stock, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, qualified investments under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and an investment in a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC"). The Company's other investments are not held for sale and do not have readily determinable fair values. As a member of the FRB and the FHLB, the Company is required to hold stock in the FRB and the FHLB. The FRB stock may not be sold or pledged as collateral. The FHLB stock is pledged as collateral for outstanding FHLB advances and its transfer is substantially restricted. The Company's CRA investments include investments in funds and membership shares that fund community development in low- and moderate-income areas. The Company's SBIC investment is guaranteed by the Small Business Association. Other investments totaled $9,735,000 and $12,323,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other investments are reported in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Office Properties and Equipment	Office Properties and Equipment Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with rates based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets, which range from three to 40 years. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment are capitalized while routine expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Cash Surrender Value of Bank-owned Life Insurance	Cash Surrender Value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance Life insurance contracts represent single premium life insurance contracts on the lives of certain officers of the Bank. The Bank is the beneficiary of these policies. These contracts are reported at their cash surrender value and changes in the cash surrender value are included in noninterest income.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of goodwill, core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing rights. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles are presented together on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment at least annually. Core deposit intangibles represent the estimated value related to customer deposit relationships assumed in the Company’s acquisitions. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over nine to 15 years. Mortgage servicing rights represent servicing assets related to mortgage loans sold and serviced at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are being amortized over a maximum of 10 years using an accelerated method.
Shareholders' Equity	Shareholders’ Equity Provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Act eliminate the concept of treasury stock and provide that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued shares. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the cost of shares repurchased by the Company have been allocated to common stock, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings.
Transfer of Financial Assets	Transfer of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right, free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right, to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before maturity.
Salary Continuation Agreements	Salary Continuation Agreements The Company records the expense associated with its salary continuation agreements over the service periods of the persons covered under these agreements.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition In addition to lending and related activities, the Company offers various services to customers that generate revenue, certain of which are governed by ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The guidance under ASC 606 was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The transition to the accounting guidance under ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within noninterest income and include service charges and fees, brokerage fees, and other transaction-based fees. Revenue is recognized when the transactions occur or as services are performed over primarily monthly or quarterly periods. Payment is typically received in the period the transactions occur. Fees may be fixed or, where applicable, based on a percentage of transaction size.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income taxes during the period that includes the enactment date. In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable earnings and tax planning strategies. The income tax benefit or expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in noninterest expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties in its financial statements and did not record an accrued liability for interest or penalty payments. Investments that generate investment tax credits are accounted for under the deferral method. Under the deferral method, the allowable investment credit is recognized as a reduction in income tax expense over the life of the acquired investment.
Stock-based Compensation Plans	Stock-based Compensation Plans The Company has issued stock options under the 2009 Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to directors, officers and other key employees. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company has adopted a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured as of the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company has issued restricted stock under the 2009 Recognition and Retention Plan and restricted stock units under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to directors, officers and other key employees. Awards under the plans may not be sold or otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The unearned compensation related to these awards is amortized to compensation expense over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The total share-based compensation expense for these awards is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of grant applied to the total number of shares granted and is amortized over the vesting period.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive IncomeGAAP generally requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheets, such items, along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income.
Loss Contingency Disclosure	Loss Contingency Disclosure Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, “Conforming Amendments Related to Leases”. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. Under current GAAP, the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees is not required if the terms of the lease qualify it as an operating lease. ASU No. 2016-2 requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, for both operating and capital or finance leases. Upon implementation, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company implemented an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's right-of-use assets and liabilities, net of amortization, were $4.6 million. The Company reports its right-of-use assets and liabilities within accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The ASU did not have material impact on the consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019, and is not expected to in future periods. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendment in this ASU eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in order to measure a goodwill impairment charge. An entity will record an impairment charge based on the excess of the carrying amount over its fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal and interim testing periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has early adopted the amendment and it has not impacted our Consolidated Financial Statements. Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which introduced a new impairment model known as CECL (Current Expected Credit Losses). The ASU requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured on an amortized cost basis to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses, which reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial asset. Under current GAAP, credit losses are not recognized until the occurrence of the loss is probable and entities, in general, only consider past events and current conditions when measuring incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 will require entities to recognize a current estimate of all expected credit losses, thus eliminating the “probable” recognition threshold. To produce a current estimate of expected credit losses, the standard will require entities to incorporate forecasted information along with relevant information about past events, including historical experience, and current conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amount of financial assets. The ASU also amends the accounting model for purchased financial assets and replaces the current accounting for purchased credit impaired ("PCI") financial assets with the concept of purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") financial assets. For non-PCD assets, an initial CECL estimate will be recognized through the allowance for credit losses and the provision for loan losses. For PCD assets, an initial CECL estimate will be recognized through the allowance for credit losses with an offset to the cost basis of the PCD asset. Financial assets currently classified as PCI will be classified as PCD assets upon implementation of the ASU. Held-to-maturity debt securities and off-balance-sheet arrangements, such as commitments to extend credit, guarantees and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable, are also within the scope of this amendment. In addition, ASU 2016-13 will require expected credit related losses for available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, while non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will apply the amendments in this update on a modified retrospective basis, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company has performed parallel testing of the CECL estimation process for the year ended December 31, 2019. During this testing phase, the Company's cross-functional CECL committee held regular meetings to analyze and validate key aspects of the CECL process, including the appropriateness of portfolio segmentation, forecasting methodology, model assumptions, operational procedures and internal controls. The Company's CECL calculation estimates loan losses using a combination of discounted cash flow and remaining life analyses. Based on preliminary results, the Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in a 30% to 40% increase to the allowance for loan losses primarily due to the change in accounting treatment for acquired loans and reserves for unfunded lending commitments. The Company estimates that approximately $1.2 million of the increase in the allowance for loan losses will be reclassified from the purchase discount for acquired impaired loans. The ultimate impact of adoption at subsequent reporting periods depends on the characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio and economic conditions at such dates as well as forecasted conditions thereafter. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company expects to further refine and validate CECL model assumptions, qualitative adjustments and financial reporting disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The ASU removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the ASU, public entities will no longer be required to disclose the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and the change in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also removes the requirement to disclose transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the policy for those transfers. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will not impact our Consolidated Financial Statements, as the update only revises disclosure requirements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)." The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve the consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of this guidance.
Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring	Troubled Debt Restructurings During the course of its lending operations, the Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and to minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the terms of a customer loan to alleviate the burden of the customer’s near-term cash requirements. The Company must conclude that the restructuring of a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties constitutes a “concession”. The Company defines a concession as a modification of existing terms granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that the Company would otherwise not consider. The concession is either granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court or by a law. Concessions include modifying original loan terms to reduce or defer cash payments required as part of the loan agreement, including but not limited to: •a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt, •an extension of the maturity date or dates at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics, •a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt or •a reduction of accrued interest receivable on the debt. In its determination of whether the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers numerous indicators, including, but not limited to: •whether the customer is currently in default on its existing loan, or is in an economic position where it is probable the customer will be in default on its loan in the foreseeable future without a modification, •whether the customer has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy, •whether there is substantial doubt about the customer’s ability to continue as a going concern, •whether, based on its projections of the customer’s current capabilities, the Company believes the customer’s future cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt, including interest, in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement for the foreseeable future and •whether, without modification, the customer cannot obtain sufficient funds from other sources at an effective interest rate equal to the current market rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor. If the Company concludes that both a concession has been granted and the concession was granted to a customer experiencing financial difficulties, the Company identifies the loan as a TDR. For purposes of the determination of an allowance for loan losses on TDRs, such loans are reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology. If it is determined that losses are probable on such TDRs, either because of delinquency or other credit quality indicators, the Company specifically allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses to these loans.
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures	The Company values its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels as required by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Under this guidance, fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: •Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. •Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities quarterly.
Receivables	Nonrecurring Basis In accordance with the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables, the Company records loans considered impaired at their fair value. A loan is considered impaired if it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fair value is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. For non-collateral-dependent loans, fair value is measured by present valuing expected future cash flows. Impaired loans are classified as Level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens. Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Surplus real estate ("ORE") is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. The fair value of foreclosed assets and ORE is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company classifies foreclosed assets and ORE as Level 3 assets.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and HB Investment Fund I, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, income taxes, the valuation of foreclosed assets and surplus real estate ("ORE"), goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisition accounting valuations and valuation of share-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with the FHLB. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less (excluding interest-bearing deposits in banks) to be cash equivalents.

The Bank may be required to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. The requirement is dependent upon the Bank’s cash on hand or noninterest-bearing balances. There was no reserve requirement as of December 31, 2019 or 2018.

Investment Securities

The Company follows the guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. This standard addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Under the topic, investment securities, which the Company both positively intends and has the ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost.

Investment securities that are acquired with the intention of being resold in the near term are classified as trading securities under ASC 320 and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not hold any securities for trading purposes at, or during the years ended, December 31, 2019 or 2018.

Securities not meeting the criteria of either trading securities or held to maturity are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses for these securities are recognized, net of related income tax effects, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Interest income earned on securities either held to maturity or available for sale is included in current earnings, including the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the interest method. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to the yield. The gain or loss realized on the sale of securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity, as determined using the specific identification method for determining the cost of the securities sold, is computed with reference to its amortized cost and is also included in current earnings.

The Company reviews investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment quarterly. Impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary if it is likely that all amounts contractually due will not be received for debt securities and when there is no positive evidence indicating that an investment’s carrying amount is recoverable in the near term for equity securities. When a decline in the fair value of available for sale and held to maturity securities below cost is deemed to be credit related, a charge for other-than-temporary impairment is included in earnings as “Other-than-temporary impairment of securities”. The decline in fair value attributed to non-credit related factors is recognized in other comprehensive income and a new cost basis for the security is established. The new cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Increases and decreases between fair value and cost on available for sale securities are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In evaluating whether impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary, the Company considers, among other things, the time period the security has been in an unrealized loss position; the financial condition of the issuer and its industry; recommendations of investment advisors; economic forecasts; market or industry trends; changes in tax laws, regulations or other governmental policies significantly affecting the issuer; any downgrades from rating agencies; and any reduction or elimination of dividends. The Company’s intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value is also considered.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company sells mortgage loans and loan participations for an amount equal to the principal amount of loans or participations with yields to investors based upon current market rates. Realized gains and losses related to loan sales are included in noninterest income.

The Company allocates the cost to acquire or originate a mortgage loan between the loan and the right to service the loan if it intends to sell or securitize the loan and retain servicing rights. In addition, the Company periodically assesses capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of such rights. To the extent that temporary impairment exists, write-downs are recognized in current earnings as an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance. Permanent impairment is recognized through a write-down of the asset with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. For purposes of performing its impairment evaluation, the portfolio is stratified on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rates. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized over the period of, and in proportion to, estimated net servicing income, which considers appropriate prepayment assumptions.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company classifies a portion of its loans as “Mortgage loans held for sale”. Included in this category are loans which the Company has the current intent to sell and loans which are available to be sold in the event that the Company determines that loans should be sold to support the Company’s investment and liquidity objectives, as well as to support its overall asset and liability management strategies. Loans included in this category for which the Company has the current intention to sell are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value.

Loans

The following describes the distinction between originated and acquired loans and certain significant accounting policies relevant to each category.

Originated Loans

Originated loans are carried net of discounts on loan originations and are amortized using the level yield interest method over the remaining contractual life of the loan. Nonrefundable loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield using the interest method.

Interest on loans receivable is accrued as earned using the interest method over the life of the loan. Interest on loans deemed uncollectible is excluded from income. The accrual of interest is discontinued and reversed against current income once loans become more than 90 days past due or earlier if conditions warrant. The past due status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is charged against interest income on loans. Interest payments are applied to reduce the principal balance on nonaccrual loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when all past due payments are received in full and future payments are probable.

Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is made that a loan has deteriorated to the point of being deemed a criticized or classified loan, updated valuations may be ordered to help determine if there is impairment, which may lead to a recommendation for partial charge off or appropriate allowance allocation. Property valuations are ordered through, and reviewed by, the Company’s Appraisal and Review Department. The Company typically orders an “as is” valuation for collateral property if the loan is in a criticized loan classification.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The collectability of individual loans is determined through an estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral and/or assessment of the financial condition and repayment capacity of the borrower.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are those associated with our acquisitions of Statewide, GSFC, Britton & Koontz, Louisiana Bancorp and SMB. These loans were recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. The acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be performing (“acquired performing”) and those with evidence of credit deterioration (“acquired impaired”), and then further segregated into loan pools designed to facilitate the development of expected cash flows. The fair value estimate for each pool of acquired performing and acquired impaired loans was based on the estimate of expected cash flows, both principal and interest, from that pool, discounted at prevailing market interest rates.

The difference between the fair value of an acquired performing loan pool and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date (the “fair value discount”) is accreted into income over the estimated life of the pool. Management estimates an allowance for loan losses for acquired performing loans using a methodology similar to that used for originated loans. The allowance determined for each loan pool is compared to the remaining fair value discount for that pool. If the allowance amount calculated under the Company’s methodology is greater than the Company’s remaining discount, the additional amount called for is added to the reported allowance through a provision for loan losses. If the allowance amount calculated under the Company’s methodology is less than the Company’s recorded discount, no additional allowance or provision is recognized. Actual losses first reduce any remaining fair value discount for the loan pool. Once the discount is fully depleted, losses are applied against the allowance established for that pool. Acquired performing loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered and reported as nonperforming or past due using the same criteria applied to the originated portfolio.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected from an acquired impaired loan pool over the pool’s estimated fair value at acquisition is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining life of the pool. Each pool of acquired impaired loans is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows.

Management recasts the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on each acquired impaired loan pool periodically. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool is less than its carrying value, an impairment is recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses and a charge to the provision for loan losses. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool is

greater than its carrying value, any previously established allowance for loan losses is reversed and any remaining difference increases the accretable yield which will be taken into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pool. Acquired impaired loans are generally not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported with impaired loans, even if they would otherwise qualify for such treatment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses on loans in our portfolio is maintained at an amount which management believes covers the reasonably estimable and probable losses on such portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general reserves. The Company determines specific reserves based on the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables. The Company’s allowance for loan losses includes a measure of impairment related to those loans specifically identified for evaluation under the topic. This measurement is based on a comparison of the recorded investment in the loan with either the expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s original effective interest rate, observable market price for the loan or the fair value of the collateral underlying certain collateral-dependent loans. General reserves are based on management’s evaluation of many factors, including current economic trends, industry experience, historical loss experience (generally three years), industry loan concentrations, the borrowers’ abilities to repay and repayment performance, probability of foreclosure and estimated collateral values. In addition to these factors, management also considers the following for each segment of the loan portfolio when determining general reserves:

•Residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines - These categories consist of loans secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions and the interest rate environment.

•Commercial Real Estate - This category consists of loans primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants. The performance of commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions specific to the relevant industry, the real estate market for the property type and geographic region where the property or borrower is located.

•Construction and land - This category consists of loans to finance the ground-up construction and/or improvement of construction of residential and commercial properties and loans secured by land. The performance of construction and land loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of improvements and/or land development for the end user, the sale of the property to a third party, or a secondary source of cash flow from the owners. The successful completion of planned improvements and development maybe adversely affected by changes in the estimated property value upon completion of construction, projected costs and other conditions leading to project delays.

•Multi-family residential - This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. The performance of multi-family loans is generally dependent on the receipt of rental income from the tenants who occupy the subject property. The occupancy rate of the subject property and the ability of the tenants to pay rent may be adversely affected by the location of the subject property and local economic conditions.

•Commercial and industrial - This category consists of secured and unsecured loans to purchase capital equipment, agriculture operating loans and other business loans for working capital and operating purposes. Secured loans are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory and other business assets. The performance of commercial and industrial loans may be adversely affected by conditions specific to the relevant industry, fluctuations in the value of the collateral and individual performance factors related to the borrower.

•Consumer and other - This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family and other personal use. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by national and local economic conditions, unemployment rates and other factors affecting the borrower's income available to service the debt.

As these factors change, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are charged to current operations. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses once that determination is made.

While management uses available information to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. The OCC, as an integral part of its examination processes, periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it as of the time of its examinations. To the extent the OCC’s estimates differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required as of the time of its examination. As part of the Bank’s risk management program, an

independent review is performed on the loan portfolio, which supplements management’s assessment of the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses. The result of the independent review is reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Foreclosed Assets and ORE

Foreclosed assets and ("ORE") includes real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real property no longer used in the Bank's business. Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date acquired or upon receiving new property valuations. Write-downs from cost to fair value at the date of foreclosure are charged against the allowance for loan losses or acquired loan discounts . ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. Costs relating to the development and improvement of foreclosed assets and ORE are capitalized, and costs relating to holding and maintaining foreclosed assets and ORE are expensed. Valuations are performed periodically and a charge to operations is recorded if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less selling costs. Generally, the Company appraises foreclosed assets and ORE at the time of foreclosure or transfer to ORE and at least every 12 months following the foreclosure or transfer to ORE. When the foreclosed property is sold, a gain or loss is recognized on the sale for the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the property. Financed sales of foreclosed property are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 610, Subtopic 20, Gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets (“ASC 610-20”). The Company had $4,156,000 and $1,558,000 of foreclosed assets and ORE as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Foreclosed assets and ORE are recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Other Investments

Other investments are carried at cost and consist of Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") stock, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, qualified investments under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and an investment in a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC"). The Company's other investments are not held for sale and do not have readily determinable fair values. As a member of the FRB and the FHLB, the Company is required to hold stock in the FRB and the FHLB. The FRB stock may not be sold or pledged as collateral. The FHLB stock is pledged as collateral for outstanding FHLB advances and its transfer is substantially restricted. The Company's CRA investments include investments in funds and membership shares that fund community development in low- and moderate-income areas. The Company's SBIC investment is guaranteed by the Small Business Association. Other investments totaled $9,735,000 and $12,323,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other investments are reported in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Office Properties and Equipment

Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with rates based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets, which range from three to 40 years. Expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment are capitalized while routine expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Cash Surrender Value of Bank-owned Life Insurance

Cash Surrender Value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Life insurance contracts represent single premium life insurance contracts on the lives of certain officers of the Bank. The Bank is the beneficiary of these policies. These contracts are reported at their cash surrender value and changes in the cash surrender value are included in noninterest income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of goodwill, core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing rights. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles are presented together on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment at least annually. Core deposit intangibles represent the estimated value related to customer deposit relationships assumed in the Company’s acquisitions. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over nine to 15 years. Mortgage servicing rights represent servicing assets related to mortgage loans sold and serviced at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are being amortized over a maximum of 10 years using an accelerated method.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders’ Equity

Provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Act eliminate the concept of treasury stock and provide that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized but unissued shares. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the cost of shares repurchased by the Company have been allocated to common stock, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right, free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right, to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before maturity.

Salary Continuation Agreements

The Company records the expense associated with its salary continuation agreements over the service periods of the persons covered under these agreements.

Revenue Recognition

In addition to lending and related activities, the Company offers various services to customers that generate revenue, certain of which are governed by ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The guidance under ASC 606 was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The transition to the accounting guidance under ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within noninterest income and include service charges and fees, brokerage fees, and other transaction-based fees. Revenue is recognized when the transactions occur or as services are performed over primarily monthly or quarterly periods. Payment is typically received in the period the transactions occur. Fees may be fixed or, where applicable, based on a percentage of transaction size.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income taxes during the period that includes the enactment date.

In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable earnings and tax planning strategies.

The income tax benefit or expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if applicable, in noninterest expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties in its financial statements and did not record an accrued liability for interest or penalty payments.

Investments that generate investment tax credits are accounted for under the deferral method. Under the deferral method, the allowable investment credit is recognized as a reduction in income tax expense over the life of the acquired investment.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company has issued stock options under the 2009 Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to directors, officers and other key employees. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company has adopted a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured as of the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

The Company has issued restricted stock under the 2009 Recognition and Retention Plan and restricted stock units under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to directors, officers and other key employees. Awards under the plans may not be sold or otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The unearned compensation related to these awards is amortized to compensation expense over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The total share-based compensation expense for these awards is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of grant applied to the total number of shares granted and is amortized over the vesting period.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive IncomeGAAP generally requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheets, such items, along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income.

Loss Contingency Disclosure

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, “Conforming Amendments Related to Leases”. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. Under current GAAP, the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees is not required if the terms of the lease qualify it as an operating lease. ASU No. 2016-2 requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, for both operating and capital or finance leases. Upon implementation, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company implemented an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's right-of-use assets and liabilities, net of amortization, were $4.6 million. The Company reports its right-of-use assets and liabilities within accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The ASU did not have material impact on the consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019, and is not expected to in future periods.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendment in this ASU eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in order to measure a goodwill impairment charge. An entity will record an impairment charge based on the excess of the carrying amount

over its fair value. This ASU is effective for fiscal and interim testing periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has early adopted the amendment and it has not impacted our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which introduced a new impairment model known as CECL (Current Expected Credit Losses). The ASU requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured on an amortized cost basis to be presented at an amount net of an allowance for credit losses, which reflects expected losses for the full life of the financial asset. Under current GAAP, credit losses are not recognized until the occurrence of the loss is probable and entities, in general, only consider past events and current conditions when measuring incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 will require entities to recognize a current estimate of all expected credit losses, thus eliminating the “probable” recognition threshold. To produce a current estimate of expected credit losses, the standard will require entities to incorporate forecasted information along with relevant information about past events, including historical experience, and current conditions that affect the collectability of the reported amount of financial assets. The ASU also amends the accounting model for purchased financial assets and replaces the current accounting for purchased credit impaired ("PCI") financial assets with the concept of purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") financial assets. For non-PCD assets, an initial CECL estimate will be recognized through the allowance for credit losses and the provision for loan losses. For PCD assets, an initial CECL estimate will be recognized through the allowance for credit losses with an offset to the cost basis of the PCD asset. Financial assets currently classified as PCI will be classified as PCD assets upon implementation of the ASU. Held-to-maturity debt securities and off-balance-sheet arrangements, such as commitments to extend credit, guarantees and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable, are also within the scope of this amendment. In addition, ASU 2016-13 will require expected credit related losses for available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, while non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will apply the amendments in this update on a modified retrospective basis, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company has performed parallel testing of the CECL estimation process for the year ended December 31, 2019. During this testing phase, the Company's cross-functional CECL committee held regular meetings to analyze and validate key aspects of the CECL process, including the appropriateness of portfolio segmentation, forecasting methodology, model assumptions, operational procedures and internal controls. The Company's CECL calculation estimates loan losses using a combination of discounted cash flow and remaining life analyses. Based on preliminary results, the Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in a 30% to 40% increase to the allowance for loan losses primarily due to the change in accounting treatment for acquired loans and reserves for unfunded lending commitments. The Company estimates that approximately $1.2 million of the increase in the allowance for loan losses will be reclassified from the purchase discount for acquired impaired loans. The ultimate impact of adoption at subsequent reporting periods depends on the characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio and economic conditions at such dates as well as forecasted conditions thereafter. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company expects to further refine and validate CECL model assumptions, qualitative adjustments and financial reporting disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The ASU removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the ASU, public entities will no longer be required to disclose the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and the change in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also removes the requirement to disclose transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the policy for those transfers. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will not impact our Consolidated Financial Statements, as the update only revises disclosure requirements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)." The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve the consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of this guidance.

Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring

Troubled Debt Restructurings

During the course of its lending operations, the Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and to minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the terms of a customer loan to alleviate the burden of the customer’s near-term cash requirements. The Company must conclude that the restructuring of a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties constitutes a “concession”. The Company defines a concession as a modification of existing terms granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that the Company would otherwise not consider. The concession is either granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court or by a law. Concessions include modifying original loan terms to reduce or defer cash payments required as part of the loan agreement, including but not limited to:

•a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt,

•an extension of the maturity date or dates at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics,

•a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt or

•a reduction of accrued interest receivable on the debt.

In its determination of whether the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers numerous indicators, including, but not limited to:

•whether the customer is currently in default on its existing loan, or is in an economic position where it is probable the customer will be in default on its loan in the foreseeable future without a modification,

•whether the customer has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy,

•whether there is substantial doubt about the customer’s ability to continue as a going concern,

•whether, based on its projections of the customer’s current capabilities, the Company believes the customer’s future cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt, including interest, in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement for the foreseeable future and

•whether, without modification, the customer cannot obtain sufficient funds from other sources at an effective interest rate equal to the current market rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor.

If the Company concludes that both a concession has been granted and the concession was granted to a customer experiencing financial difficulties, the Company identifies the loan as a TDR. For purposes of the determination of an allowance for loan losses on TDRs, such loans are reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology. If it is determined that losses are probable on such TDRs, either because of delinquency or other credit quality indicators, the Company specifically allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses to these loans.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company values its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels as required by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Under this guidance, fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities quarterly.

Receivables

Nonrecurring Basis

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables, the Company records loans considered impaired at their fair value. A loan is considered impaired if it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fair value is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. For non-collateral-dependent loans, fair value is measured by present valuing expected future cash flows. Impaired loans are classified as Level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens. Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Surplus real estate ("ORE") is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. The fair value of foreclosed assets and ORE is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company classifies foreclosed assets and ORE as Level 3 assets.
