COVID-19 Pandemic

(23) COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States caused a substantial disruption to the economy, employment and financial markets and is expected to have a complex and significant adverse impact on the economy, the banking industry and the Company in future fiscal periods, all subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Additional federal government stimulus, declining COVID-19 cases and the distribution of vaccines may lead to positive impacts on the economy and employment while new variants of COVID-19 presents risks to the recovery. The Company’s pandemic response plan continues to focus foremost on the safety and well-being of our customers and associates. The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our customers, employees or vendors which may impact our operations and financial results. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause economic declines in excess of current projections, or if the pandemic lasts longer than currently projected, the Company’s provision for loan losses may remain elevated or increase in future periods. The Company might see higher loan delinquencies and defaults in future periods as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to monitor our allowance for loan losses in light of changing economic conditions related to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic may also impact the Company’s deposit balances and service charge income. In addition, the fair value of certain assets may be adversely impacted by the pandemic and the economic downturn, including the fair value of goodwill, mortgage servicing rights and other real estate. These declines could result in impairments in future periods. The pandemic has caused a significant decline in market interest rates which caused our net interest margin to decline. The pandemic has also impacted supply chains and inventory levels resulting in higher levels of inflation which may lead to higher market interest rates or a flattening yield curve which could also cause our net interest margin to decline. Higher interest rates may also negatively impact our loan customers and reduce their ability to repay our loans. At this time, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial statements is uncertain.
