Financial Condition Total assets of the Company atJune 30, 2022 were$3,039,099 compared to$3,012,905 atDecember 31, 2021 , an increase of$26,194 , or 0.9%. The increase in total assets was due to increases in loans of$65,548 , accompanied by increases in other securities, loans held for sale, and other assets of$1,500 ,$2,195 and$14,861 , respectively, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale of$30,958 and$29,057 , respectively. Total liabilities atJune 30, 2022 were$2,737,037 compared to$2,657,693 atDecember 31, 2021 , an increase of$79,344 , or 3.0%. The increase in total liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts of$53,630 , accompanied by an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of$48,752 , partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of$14,829 and$8,016 , respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q (Amounts in thousands, except share data) Loans outstanding as ofJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 were as follows: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 $ Change % Change Commercial & Agriculture$ 226,540 $ 246,502$ (19,962 ) -8.1 % Commercial Real Estate-Owner Occupied 304,472 295,452 9,020 3.1 % Commercial Real Estate-Non-Owner Occupied 876,695 829,310 47,385 5.7 % Residential Real Estate 452,628 430,060 22,568 5.2 % Real Estate Construction 170,633 157,127 13,506 8.6 % Farm Real Estate 23,295 28,419 (5,124 ) -18.0 % Consumer and Other 9,958 11,009 (1,051 ) -9.5 % Total loans 2,064,221 1,997,879 66,342 3.3 % Allowance for loan losses (27,435 ) (26,641 ) (794 ) 3.0 % Net loans$ 2,036,786 $ 1,971,238$ 65,548 3.3 %
Included in Commercial & Agriculture loans above were
Loans held for sale increased$2,195 , or 111.3%, sinceDecember 31, 2021 . The increase was due to an increase in the average loan balance held for sale. AtJune 30, 2022 , 18 loans totaling$4,167 were held for sale as compared to 14 loans totaling$1,972 atDecember 31, 2021 . Net loans have increased$65,548 , or 3.3% sinceDecember 31, 2021 . TheCommercial Real Estate - Owner Occupied,Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner Occupied,Residential Real Estate andReal Estate Construction loan portfolios increased$9,020 ,$47,385 ,$22,568 and$13,506 , respectively, sinceDecember 31, 2021 , while the Commercial & Agriculture,Farm Real Estate and Consumer and Other loan portfolios decreased$19,962 ,$5,124 and$1,051 , respectively, sinceDecember 31, 2021 . AtJune 30, 2022 , the net loan to deposit ratio was 82.9% compared to 81.6% atDecember 31, 2021 . The increase in the net loan to deposit ratio is primarily the result of an increase in loans, partially offset by an increase in deposits. During the first six months of 2022, provisions made to the allowance for loan losses totaled$700 , compared to a provision of$830 during the same period in 2021. The decrease in provision was due to the improvement of our credit quality metrics, offset by strong loan growth during the second quarter of 2022. To address the challenges of the international, national, regional and local economic conditions adversely impacted by the prior economic shutdown and restrictions in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, management maintained a strong provision in the first quarter of 2021. When conditions stabilized and criticized loans peaked, management reduced the provision. We continue to be optimistic that asset quality will continue to improve despite ongoing headwinds. We remain cautious given the level of classified loans in the portfolio, particularly loans to borrowers in the hotel industry. However, we are encouraged by strong loan growth. Our Commercial andCommercial Real Estate portfolios have been and are expected to continue to be impacted the most. Net recoveries for the first six months of 2022 totaled$94 , compared to net recoveries of$339 in the first six months of 2021. For the first six months of 2022, the Company charged off a total of nine loans. FourResidential Real Estate loan totaling$58 and five Consumer and Other loans totaling$32 were charged off in the first six months of the year. In addition, during the first six months of 2022, the Company had recoveries on previously charged-off Commercial and Agriculture loans of$4 ,Commercial Real Estate - Owner Occupied loans of$27 ,Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner Occupied loans of$52 ,Residential Real Estate loans of$76 ,Farm Real Estate loans of$4 and Consumer and Other loans of$21 . For each loan category, as well as in total, the percentage of net charge-offs to loans was less than one percent. Nonperforming loans decreased by$286 sinceDecember 31, 2021 , which was due to a$286 decrease in loans on nonaccrual status. Each of these factors was considered by management as part of the examination of both the level and mix of the allowance by loan type as well as the overall level of the allowance. Management specifically evaluates loans that are impaired for estimates of loss. To evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to cover probable losses in the portfolio, management considers specific reserve allocations for identified portfolio loans, reserves for delinquencies and historical reserve allocations. Loss migration rates are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio segments. Management also considers certain economic factors for trends that management uses to account for the qualitative and environmental changes in risk, which affects the level of the reserve. Page 39 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Civista Bancshares, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q (Amounts in thousands, except share data) Management analyzes each impaired Commercial andCommercial Real Estate loan relationship with a balance of$350 or larger, on an individual basis and designates a loan as impaired when it is in nonaccrual status or when an analysis of the borrower's operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. Loans held for sale are excluded from consideration as impaired. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past due. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.33% atJune 30, 2022 and 1.33% atDecember 31, 2021 . The available-for-sale security portfolio decreased by$29,057 , from$559,874 atDecember 31, 2021 to$530,817 atJune 30, 2022 . Management continually evaluates our securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability and the level of interest rate risk to which the Company is exposed. These evaluations may cause the Company to change the level of funds it deploys into investment securities and change the composition of its investment securities portfolio. As ofJune 30, 2022 , the Company was in compliance with all pledging requirements. Other securities increased$1,500 fromDecember 31, 2021 toJune 30, 2022 . The increase is the result of additional investments in theFederal Reserve Bank of Cleveland .

This increase is temporary as transactions are processed and is expected to return to levels more consistent withDecember 31, 2021 over the next two quarters. In addition, public fund demand deposit accounts increased$14,262 . The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to decreases in business interest-bearing demand and JUMBO NOW accounts of$29,664 and$4,129 , respectively, accompanied by increases in personal interest-bearing demand and public fund interest-bearing demand accounts of$5,751 and$19,951 , respectively.

The decrease was the result of a decrease in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of$55,172 , dividends on common shares of$4,133 and the purchase of treasury shares of$10,621 , offset by net income of$16,167 and a decrease in the Company's pension liability, net of tax, of$110 , offset by.

Although the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by$49,462 for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared to the same period in 2021, deposit expense decreased due to a decrease in the rate paid on demand and savings accounts from 0.10% in 2021 to 0.07% in 2022. The rate paid on time deposits decreased from 1.19% to 0.81% in 2022. Interest expense incurred on FHLB advances decreased 41.5% from 2021.

(1) The change in interest income and interest expense due to changes in both
volume and rate, which cannot be segregated, has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate. The Company provides for loan losses through regular provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses totaled$400 and$0 during the quarters endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the provision in the second quarter of 2022 reflects the Company's strong loan growth during the quarter. Our credit quality metrics remain stable despite the ongoing headwinds of the challenging international, national, regional and local economic conditions. While COVID-19 vaccinations and improved treatments have created a level of optimism, there remains caution due to the lingering concerns over potential infection spikes. We remain cautious given the level of classified loans in the portfolio, particularly loans to borrowers in the hotel industry as well as challenges businesses face in today's environment. Economic impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic have improved somewhat, but continued concerns linger due to the disruption of supply chains, additional employee costs, hiring challenges throughout our footprint, rising inflationary pressures and the prospects of recession. Our Commercial andCommercial Real Estate portfolios have been, and are expected to continue to be, impacted the most. Noninterest income for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Three months ended June 30, 2022 2021 $ Change % Change Service charges$ 1,540 $ 1,317 $ 223 16.9 % Net gain on sale of securities 6 1,784 (1,778 ) -99.7 % Net gain on equity securities 39 53 (14 ) -26.4 % Net gain on sale of loans 573 2,218 (1,645 ) -74.2 % ATM/Interchange fees 1,355 1,373 (18 ) -1.3 % Wealth management fees 1,228 1,188 40 3.4 % Bank owned life insurance 233 248 (15 ) -6.0 % Tax refund processing fees 475 475 - 0.0 % Swap fees - 17 (17 ) -100.0 % Other 186 352 (166 ) -47.2 % Total noninterest income$ 5,635 $ 9,025 $ (3,390 ) -37.6 % Page 44
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Civista Bancshares, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Form 10-Q (Amounts in thousands, except share data) Noninterest income for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 was$5,635 , a decrease of$3,390 , or 37.6%, from$9,025 for the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in net gain on sale of securities, net gain on equity securities, net gain on sale of loans, swap fees and other income, offset by increases in service charges. Net gain on sale of securities decreased due to the sale of Visa Class B shares in 2021. Net gain on equity securities decreased as a result of market value decreases. Net gain on sale of loans decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in volume of loans sold. During the three-months endedJune 30, 2022 , 186 loans were sold, totaling$35,494 . During the three-months endedJune 30, 2021 , 372 loans were sold, totaling$69,200 . Swap fees decreased due to the volume of swaps performed during the quarter endedJune 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. Other income decreased as result of an increase in insurance loss reserves from the Company's reinsurance subsidiary. Service charges increased due to higher overdraft fees of$222 . Additionally, the Company processes state and federal income tax refunds for customers of third-party income tax preparation vendors for which we receive a fee for processing the refund payments. Tax refund processing fees were$475 for each of the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021. This fee income is seasonal in nature, the majority of which is earned in the first quarter of the year. Noninterest expense for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Three months ended June 30, 2022 2021 $ Change % Change Compensation expense$ 11,947 $ 11,406 $ 541 4.7 % Net occupancy expense 1,026 1,007 19 1.9 % Equipment expense 562 482 80 16.6 % Contracted data processing 433 490 (57 ) -11.6 % FDIC assessment 195 322 (127 ) -39.4 % State franchise tax 628 471 157 33.3 % Professional services 1,209 741 468 63.2 % Amortization of intangible assets 217 223 (6 ) -2.7 % ATM/Interchange expense 542 656 (114 ) -17.4 % Marketing 380 343 37 10.8 % Software maintenance expense 790 545 245 45.0 % Other 2,450 5,578 (3,128 ) -56.1 % Total noninterest expense$ 20,379 $ 22,264 $ (1,885 ) -8.5 % Noninterest expense for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 was$20,379 , a decrease of$1,885 , or 8.5%, from$22,264 reported for the same period of 2021. The primary reasons for the decrease were decreases in contracted data processing expense,FDIC assessment, ATM/Interchange expense and other operating expense, offset by increases in compensation expense, equipment expense, state franchise tax, professional services, marketing and software maintenance expense. The increase in compensation expense was due to increased salary, payroll taxes and commission and incentive based costs, offset by a decrease in employer savings contributions. Equipment expense increased due to an increase in computer equipment purchases of$48 . Contracted data processing fees decreased due to a decrease in monthly processing fees of$62 . The quarter-over-quarter decrease inFDIC assessments was attributable to lower assessment multipliers charged to Civista. The increase in state franchise tax expense was attributable to an increase in equity capital, which is the basis of the Ohio Financial Institutions tax. Professional services increased due to merger related legal and audit fees of$118 , accompanied by increases in recruitment fees and increased call volumes at the Company's call center. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in ATM/Interchange expense is the result of a decrease in billings from Mastercard of$94 in 2022. The increase in software maintenance expense is due to a general increase in legacy software maintenance contracts and the implementation of our new digital banking. The decrease in other operating expense is primarily due to a prepayment fee paid in the second quarter of 2021 related to the early payoff of an FHLB long-term advance.

The Company provides for loan losses through regular provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses totaled$700 and$830 during the periods endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in provision was due to the improvement of our credit quality metrics, offset by strong loan growth during the second quarter of 2022. To address the challenges of the international, national, regional and local economic conditions adversely impacted by the prior economic shutdown and restrictions in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, management maintained a strong provision in the first quarter of 2021. When conditions stabilized and criticized loans peaked, management reduced the provision. We continue to be optimistic that asset quality will continue to improve despite ongoing headwinds. We remain cautious given the level of classified loans in the portfolio, particularly loans to borrowers in the hotel industry. However, we are encouraged by strong loan growth.

The decrease was primary due to decreases in net gain on the sale of securities of$1,777 , net gain on equity securities of$52 , net gain on sale of loans of$3,454 , swap fees of$94 and other income of$239 , which was offset by an increase in service charges of$546 . Net gain on sale of securities decreased due to the sale of Visa Class B shares in 2021. Net gain (loss) on equity securities decreased as a result of market value increases. Net gain on sale of loans decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in volume of loans sold. During the six-months endedJune 30, 2022 , 394 loans were sold, totaling$73,659 . During the six-months endedJune 30, 2021 , 752 loans were sold, totaling$147,841 . Swap fees decreased due to the volume of swaps performed during the six-months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared to the same period of 2021. Other income decreased as result of an increase in insurance loss reserves from the Company's reinsurance subsidiary. Service charges increased due to an increase in service charges and overdraft fees of$101 and$445 , respectively. Tax refund processing fees were$2,375 for each of the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021.

The primary reasons for the decrease were decreases inFDIC assessments of$184 , ATM/Interchange expense of$194 and other operating expenses of$3,036 , offset by increases in compensation expenses of$982 , equipment expense of$161 , contracted data processing of$120 , state franchise tax of$123 , professional services of$779 and software maintenance expense of$445 . The increase in compensation expense was due to increased payroll, 401k expenses, payroll taxes and commission and incentive based costs. Payroll and payroll related expenses increased due to annual pay increases. Equipment expense increased due to an increase in computer equipment purchases of$110 and reimbursement of COVID-19 expenses of$12 in 2021. Contracted data processing fees increased due to merger related system deconversion fees of$234 , offset by a decrease in computer processing fees. The decrease inFDIC assessments was attributable to lower assessment multipliers charged to Civista. The increase in state franchise tax expense was attributable to an increase in equity capital, which is the basis of the Ohio Financial Institutions tax, offset by the payment of$172 of additional taxes in 2021 as a result of findings from aState of Ohio audit. Professional services increased due to merger related legal and audit fees of$428 , accompanied by increases in recruitment fees and increased call volumes at the Company's call center. The decrease in ATM/Interchange expense is the result of a decrease in billings from Mastercard of$152 in 2022 and lower processing fees. The increase in marketing expense is the result of efforts to promote our new digital banking and other initiatives. The increase in software maintenance expense is due to a general increase in legacy software maintenance contracts and the implementation of our new digital banking. The decrease in other operating expense is primarily due to a prepayment fee paid in the second quarter of 2021 related to the early payoff of an FHLB long-term advance. The increase in other operating expense is primarily due to the prepayment expense of$3,717 related to the early payoff of an FHLB long-term advance, offset by a credit to the valuation adjustment for mortgage servicing rights.
