Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Business and Organization MVB Financial Corp. is a financial holding company organized in 2003 as a West Virginia corporation that operates principally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”). The Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries include MVB Edge Ventures, LLC (“Edge Ventures”), Paladin Fraud, LLC (“Paladin Fraud”) and MVB Insurance, LLC, (“MVB Insurance”). The Bank owns a controlling interest in Trabian Technology, Inc. (“Trabian”). Edge Ventures wholly-owns Victor Technologies, Inc. (“Victor”) and MVB Technology, LLC ("MVB Technology"). The Bank also owns an equity method investment in Intercoastal Mortgage Company, LLC (“ICM”) and MVB Financial Corp. owns equity method investments in Warp Speed Holdings, LLC (“Warp Speed”) and Ayers Socure II, LLC (“Ayers Socure II”). Through our professional services entities, which include Paladin Fraud and Trabian, we provide consulting solutions to assist Fintech and corporate clients in building digital products and meeting their fraud defense needs. In February 2023, we completed the sale of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ProCo Global, Inc. (“Chartwell,” which does business under the registered trade name Chartwell Compliance). In May 2023, we entered into an agreement with Flexia, to facilitate the divestiture of our interests in the ongoing business of Flexia. Refer to Note 15 – Acquisition & Divestiture Activity. We conduct a wide range of business activities through the Bank, primarily commercial and retail (“CoRe”) banking services, as well as Fintech banking. CoRe Banking We offer our customers a full range of products and services including:
l | Various demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit;
l | Commercial, consumer and real estate mortgage loans and lines of credit;
l | Debit cards;
l | Cashier’s checks;
l | Safe deposit rental facilities; and
l | Non-deposit investment services offered through an association with a broker-dealer.
Fintech Banking We provide innovative strategies to independent banking and corporate clients throughout the United States. Our dedicated Fintech team specializes in providing banking services to corporate Fintech clients, with a primary focus on operational risk management and compliance. Managing banking relationships with clients in the payments, digital savings, digital assets, crowd funding, lottery and gaming industries is complex, from both an operational and regulatory perspective. We believe that the complexity of serving these industries causes them to be underserved with quality banking services and provides us with a significantly expanded pool of potential customers. When serviced in a safe and efficient manner, we believe these industries provide a source of stable, lower cost deposits and noninterest, fee-based income. We thoroughly analyze each industry in which our customers operate, as well as any new products or services provided, from both an operational and regulatory perspective. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The financial statements are consolidated to include the accounts of MVB and its subsidiaries, including the Bank and the Bank’s subsidiaries. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Wholly-owned investments or investments in which we have a controlling financial interest, whether majority owned or in certain circumstances a minority interest, are required to be consolidated into our financial statements. We evaluate investments in entities on an ongoing basis to determine the need to consolidate. The Bank owns an 80.8% interest in Trabian, which grants us a controlling interest. Accordingly, we are required to consolidate 100% of Trabian within the consolidated financial statements. The remaining interests of Trabian are accounted for separately as noncontrolling interest within our consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of ownership and profit or loss that is attributable to the minority owners of these entities. Unconsolidated investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the respective investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Those investments that are not consolidated or accounted for using the equity method of accounting are accounted for under cost or fair value accounting. For investments accounted for under the equity method, we record our investment in non-consolidated affiliates and the portion of income or loss in equity in earnings of non-consolidated affiliates. We periodically evaluate these investments for impairment. As of September 30, 2023, we held three equity method investments. See Note 5 – Equity Method Investments for further information. Preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based upon the best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates. An estimate that is particularly significant to the consolidated financial statements relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) for current and previous periods, respectively. In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for certain contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASC 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The guidance permits entities to not apply modification accounting or remeasure lease payments in lease contracts if the changes to the contract are related to the discontinuation of the reference rate. If certain criteria are met, the amendments also allow exceptions to the de-designation criteria of the hedging relationship and the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the transition period. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 was issued by the FASB and clarifies that certain exceptions in reference rate reform apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. As of September 30, 2023, all loans and other relevant financial instruments that referenced LIBOR have been transitioned to the SOFR. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security, and therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account and require additional disclosures related to equity securities with contractual sale restrictions. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We do not currently expect these amendments to have a material impact our consolidated financial statements. In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structure Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The amendments allow registrants the option to apply the proportional amortization method to account for all types of investments in tax credit structures if certain conditions are met. Prior to these amendments, the option to use the proportional amortization method was limited to only investments in low-income-housing tax credit structures. Under the proportional amortization method, entities amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognize the net amortization and income tax credits and other benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense or benefit. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We do not currently expect these amendments to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement In January 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 326, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures all of which clarify codification and correct unintended application of the guidance. Collectively, upon adoption, these updates comprise Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. Purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans will receive an allowance account at the acquisition date that represents a component of the purchase price allocation. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, with such allowance limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. We formed a cross-functional implementation team. This cross-functional team has completed testing the model and has executed the implementation plan, which included assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources; model testing and documentation; and system configuration, among other things. We completed the process of implementing a third-party vendor solution to assist us in the application of this standard. Adoption of this pronouncement resulted in an increase in the ACL as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for loans, leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Adoption of this guidance resulted in a $10.0 million increase in the ACL, comprised of increases in the ACL for loans of $8.9 million and the ACL for unfunded commitments of $1.1 million, with $1.2 million of the increase reclassified from the amortized cost basis of PCD financial assets. This increase was offset by $2.1 million related to tax effect, resulting in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $6.6 million. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss model. The ACL for the majority of the Bank's loans and leases was calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology applied at a loan level with a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and a one-year straight-line reversion period. The Bank’s current ACL fluctuates over time due to macroeconomic conditions and forecasts as well as the size and composition of the loan portfolios. We adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for PCD assets that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”). In accordance with the pronouncement, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. As mentioned above, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets was adjusted to reflect the addition of $1.2 million to the ACL. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized cost basis) is being accreted into interest income at a rate that approximates the effective interest rate beginning on January 1, 2023. With regard to PCD assets, because we elected to disaggregate the former PCI pools and no longer considers these pools to be the unit of account, contractually delinquent PCD loans are now being reported as nonaccrual loans using the same criteria as other loans. In addition to the aforementioned elections, we made the following elections at adoption:
l | to not measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on those loans that are 90 days past due;
l | to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of financial instruments subject to ASC 326 and to separately state the balance of accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet;
l | as a practical expedient, elected to use the fair value of collateral when determining the ACL for loans if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty (collateral-dependent loans); and
l | to update our troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") disclosures in accordance with ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs for creditors.
In June 2023, we adopted ASU 2022-01, Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method, upon entering into an interest rate swap to hedge the fair value of fixed rate mortgages included in a closed portfolio for changes in the SOFR benchmark interest rate component of the mortgages. This ASU amends the guidance in ASU 2017-12 and expands what it now calls the portfolio layer method (previously the last-of-layer method) to allow entities to hedge multiple layers of a closed portfolio of assets. It also allows for the use of an amortizing notional swap when entering into a portfolio layer method hedge. Thus, an interest rate swap is considered a hedge of a single layer of the closed portfolio of fixed rate loans. We applied this ASU to the derivatives we entered into during 2023 as further described in Note 11 - Derivatives. There were no instruments on the balance sheet that were subject to this ASU prior to 2023.
