Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to Horizon Bancorp,
Inc. ("Horizon" or the "Company") and Horizon Bank (the "Bank"). Horizon intends
such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for the purposes of these safe harbor
provisions. Statements in this report should be considered in conjunction with
the other information available about Horizon, including the information in the
other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever
possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate,"
"expect," "estimate," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "could," "will"
and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or
financial performance. Although management believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may
differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.

Actual results may differ materially, adversely or positively, from the expectations of the Company that are expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement.

•economic conditions and their impact on Horizon and its customers, including continuing increases in inflation;

•the monetary, trade and other regulatory policies of the U.S. government, including recent and anticipated interest rate increases;

•the increasing use of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies and/or stable coin and the possible impact these alternative currencies may have on deposit disintermediation and income derived from payment systems;

•loss of key Horizon personnel;

•increases in disintermediation, as new technologies allow consumers to complete financial transactions without the assistance of banks, which may have been accelerated by the pandemic;



•potential loss of fee income, including interchange fees, as new and emerging
alternative payment platforms (e.g., Apple Pay or Bitcoin) take a greater market
share of the payment systems;

•estimates of fair value of certain of Horizon's assets and liabilities;

•volatility and disruption in financial markets;

•prepayment speeds, loan originations, credit losses and market values, collateral securing loans and other assets;

•sources of liquidity;

•continuing risks and uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses thereto;

•legislation and/or regulation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and Horizon and its subsidiaries in particular;

•changes in regulatory supervision and oversight, including monetary policy and capital requirements;

•changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be adopted and required by regulatory agencies;

        For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Over the last 20 years, Horizon has expanded its geographic reach and
experienced financial growth through a combination of both organic expansion and
mergers and acquisitions. Horizon's initial operations focused on northwest
Indiana, but since then, the Company has developed a presence in new markets in
southern and central Michigan and northeastern and central Indiana.


Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

•Return on average assets ("ROAA") was 1.29% year-to-date and 1.24% for the third quarter.

•Return on average common equity ("ROACE") was 13.97% year-to-date and 13.89% for the third quarter.

•Return on average tangible equity was 18.73% year-to-date and 18.71% for the third quarter.

•Total loans, excluding Federal Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans and sold commercial participation loans, grew by an annualized rate of 14.5% year-to-date and an annualized rate of 7.8% quarter over quarter.



•Commercial loans, excluding PPP loans and sold commercial participation loans,
grew by an annualized rate of 13.8% year-to-date and an annualized rate of 7.2%
quarter over quarter to a record $2.35 billion.

•Consumer loans grew by an annualized rate of 31.7% year-to-date and an annualized rate of 23.9% quarter over quarter to a record $899.9 million at period end.



•Asset quality remains solid with total loan delinquency at 0.12% of total
loans, net charge-offs to average loans of 0.00% and a reversal of credit loss
expense during the quarter.

•Net interest income increased by $387,000 to $53.4 million during the third quarter compared to $53.0 million for the previous quarter.



•Reported net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.13% and adjusted NIM was 3.08%, with
reported NIM decreasing by six basis points and adjusted NIM decreasing by four
basis points from the second quarter of 2022. (See the "Non-GAAP Reconciliation
of Net Interest Margin" table below for the definition of this non-GAAP
calculation of adjusted NIM.)
•Non-interest income is down $2.2 million for the quarter due to lower
residential mortgage loan volume, resulting in lower gain on sale income, and
from lower wealth management fees related to year-to-date declines in equity and
bond markets.

•Non-interest expense was $38.4 million in the quarter, or 1.99% of average
assets on an annualized basis, compared to $36.4 million, or 1.95%, in the
second quarter of 2022. Year-to-date non-interest expense continues to be well
managed at $111.3 million, or 1.99% of average assets on an annualized basis
which is below our target of 2.00% of average assets.
•The effective tax rate for the third quarter dropped to 7.8% due to the
recognition of solar tax credits as projects were put into service during the
quarter.

•Net income totaled $23.8 million, down 4.2% from the prior quarter and up 3.3%
from the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.55 was down
from $0.57 for the second quarter of 2022 and up from $0.52 for the third
quarter of 2021.

•Asset sensitivity decreased in the quarter compared to the previous quarter
end, as deposit betas increased with rising rates. Deposit beta is defined as
the change in deposit costs as a percentage of the change in the federal funds
rate over a particular period. Current estimates for parallel rate shocks to the
balance sheet, at 100 basis points and 200 basis points, decrease net interest
income by approximately $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively.

                           And Results of Operations

For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 •In a non-parallel rate model, the result is an estimated increase to net interest income of approximately $1.3 million, or 0.61%, at a 200 basis point move.



•When the entire balance sheet is valued in our models, the economic value of
equity increased in the third quarter of 2022, when compared to the prior year
quarter.

•Deposit betas increased to 23% on total interest bearing deposits in the third quarter compared to a 3% beta during the previous quarter.



•During the third quarter of 2022, the continued steepening of the yield curve
resulted in unrealized losses on available for sale investments of $161.8
million compared to unrealized losses of $122.0 million at June 30, 2022. The
impact to the tangible capital ratio was a decrease of 3.55% from 6.48% at June
30, 2022 to 6.25% at September 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies



The notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021 contain a summary of the Company's
significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are important to the
portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management to
make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to
matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has identified as critical
accounting policies the allowance for credit losses, goodwill and intangible
assets, mortgage servicing rights, hedge accounting and valuation measurements.

Allowance for Credit Losses



The allowance for credit losses represents management's best estimate of current
expected credit losses over the life of the portfolio of loan and leases.
Estimating credit losses requires judgment in determining loan specific
attributes impacting the borrower's ability to repay contractual obligations.
Other factors such as economic forecasts used to determine a reasonable and
supportable forecast, prepayment assumptions, the value of underlying
collateral, and changes in size composition and risks within the portfolio are
also considered.

The allowance for credit losses is assessed at each balance sheet date and
adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses. The allowance is
estimated based on loan level characteristics using historical loss rates, a
reasonable and supportable economic forecast. Loan losses are estimated using
the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans, or when the
borrower is experiencing financial difficulty such that repayment of the loan is
expected to be made through the operation or sale of the collateral. Loan
balances considered uncollectible are charged-off against the ACL. Recoveries of
amounts previously charged-off are credited to the ACL. Assets purchased with
credit deterioration ("PCD") assets represent assets that are acquired with
evidence of more than insignificant credit quality deterioration since
origination at the acquisition date. At acquisition, the allowance for credit
losses on PCD assets is booked directly the ACL. Any subsequent changes in the
ACL on PCD assets is recorded through the provision for credit losses.
Management believes that the ACL is adequate to absorb the expected life of loan
credit losses on the portfolio of loans and leases as of the balance sheet date.
Actual losses incurred may differ materially from our estimates.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets



Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets
also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting
policies. FASB ASC 350-10 establishes standards for the amortization of acquired
intangible assets and impairment assessment of goodwill. At September 30, 2022,
Horizon had core deposit intangibles of $18.2 million subject to amortization
and $155.2 million of goodwill, which is not subject to amortization. Goodwill
arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to
unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Horizon's goodwill
relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is
dependent upon the ability of Horizon
                                       55

to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive
marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven
by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a
decline in the customer base or the inability to deliver cost effective services
over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely
affect earnings in future periods. FASB ASC 350-10 requires an annual evaluation
of goodwill for impairment.


At each reporting date between annual goodwill impairment tests, Horizon
considers potential indicators of impairment. Given the current economic
uncertainty and volatility surrounding COVID-19, Horizon assessed whether the
events and circumstances resulted in it being more likely than not that the fair
value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Impairment
indicators considered comprised the condition of the economy and banking
industry; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent
events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting unit;
performance of the Company's stock and other relevant events. Horizon further
considered the amount by which fair value exceeded book value in the most recent
quantitative analysis and stress testing performed. At the conclusion of the
most recent qualitative assessment, the Company determined that as of
September 30, 2022, it was more likely than not that the fair value exceeded its
carrying values. Horizon will continue to monitor developments regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented in response to the pandemic, market
capitalization, overall economic conditions and any other triggering events or
circumstances that may indicate an impairment of goodwill in the future.

Mortgage Servicing Rights



Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired
through purchase or through the sale of financial assets on a servicing-retained
basis. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized into non-interest income in
proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income
of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated regularly for
impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized
cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying servicing rights by predominant
characteristics, such as interest rates, original loan terms and whether the
loans are fixed or adjustable rate mortgages. Fair value is determined using
prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based
upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. When the book value
of an individual stratum exceeds its fair value, an impairment reserve is
recognized so that each individual stratum is carried at the lower of its
amortized book value or fair value. In periods of falling market interest rates,
accelerated loan prepayment can adversely affect the fair value of these
mortgage-servicing rights relative to their book value. In the event that the
fair value of these assets was to increase in the future, Horizon can recognize
the increased fair value to the extent of the impairment allowance but cannot
recognize an asset in excess of its amortized book value. Future changes in
management's assessment of the impairment of these servicing assets, as a result
of changes in observable market data relating to market interest rates, loan
prepayment speeds, and other factors, could impact Horizon's financial condition
and results of operations either positively or negatively.

Generally, when market interest rates decline and other factors favorable to
prepayments occur, there is a corresponding increase in prepayments as customers
refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. When a
mortgage loan is prepaid, the anticipated cash flows associated with servicing
that loan are terminated, resulting in a reduction of the fair value of the
capitalized mortgage servicing rights. To the extent that actual borrower
prepayments do not react as anticipated by the prepayment model (i.e., the
historical data observed in the model does not correspond to actual market
activity), it is possible that the prepayment model could fail to accurately
predict mortgage prepayments and could result in significant earnings
volatility. To estimate prepayment speeds, Horizon utilizes a third-party
prepayment model, which is based upon statistically derived data linked to
certain key principal indicators involving historical borrower prepayment
activity associated with mortgage loans in the secondary market, current market
interest rates and other factors, including Horizon's own historical prepayment
experience. For purposes of model valuation, estimates are made for each product
type within the mortgage servicing rights portfolio on a monthly basis. In
addition, on a quarterly basis Horizon engages a third party to independently
test the value of its servicing asset.

Derivative Instruments



As part of the Company's asset/liability management program, Horizon utilizes,
from time-to-time, interest rate floors, caps or swaps to reduce the Company's
sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. These are derivative instruments,
which are recorded as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets
at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are reported in the
consolidated income statements or other comprehensive income ("OCI") depending
on the use of the derivative and whether the instrument qualifies for hedge
accounting. The key criterion for the hedge accounting is that the hedged
relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in those
cash flows that are attributable to the
                                       56

hedged risk, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis.



Horizon's accounting policies related to derivatives reflect the guidance in
FASB ASC 815-10. Derivatives that qualify for the hedge accounting treatment are
designated as either: a hedge of the fair value of the recognized asset or
liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge) or a hedge
of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or
paid related to a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge). For fair
value hedges, the cumulative change in fair value of both the hedge instruments
and the underlying loans is recorded in non-interest income. For cash flow
hedges, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are reported in
OCI to the extent the hedge is effective. The gains and losses on derivative
instruments that are reported in OCI are reflected in the consolidated income
statement in the periods in which the results of operations are impacted by the
variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Generally, net interest income
is increased or decreased by amounts receivable or payable with respect to the
derivatives, which qualify for hedge accounting. At inception of the hedge,
Horizon establishes the method it uses for assessing the effectiveness of the
hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffective
aspect of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized
currently in the consolidated statements of income. Horizon excludes the time
value expiration of the hedge when measuring ineffectiveness.

Valuation Measurements



Valuation methodologies often involve a significant degree of judgment,
particularly when there are no observable active markets for the items being
valued. Investment securities, residential mortgage loans held for sale and
derivatives are carried at fair value, as defined in FASB ASC 820, which
requires key judgments affecting how fair value for such assets and liabilities
is determined. In addition, the outcomes of valuations have a direct bearing on
the carrying amounts of goodwill, mortgage servicing rights, and pension and
other post-retirement benefit obligations. To determine the values of these
assets and liabilities, as well as the extent, to which related assets may be
impaired, management makes assumptions and estimates related to discount rates,
asset returns, prepayment speeds and other factors. The use of different
discount rates or other valuation assumptions could produce significantly
different results, which could affect Horizon's results of operations.

Financial Condition



On September 30, 2022, Horizon's total assets were $7.7 billion, an increase of
approximately $306.8 million compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in
total assets was primarily in investments held to maturity of $479.1 million
purchased and growth in net loans of $370.5 million. These increases were offset
by decreases in cash and due from banks of $483.8 million used to fund the
growth and investments available for sale of $175.2 million primarily due to
unrealized losses.

Total held to maturity investment securities $ 2,031,536 $ 1,640,589 $ 1,552,443 $ 1,559,991




Investment securities available for sale decreased $175.2 million since
December 31, 2021 to $985.7 million as of September 30, 2022 primarily due to
unrealized losses and investment securities held to maturity increased $479.1
million since December 31, 2021 to $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2022. This
increase in investments held to maturity was due to additional purchases to
increase earning assets.

Net loans increased $370.5 million since December 31, 2021 to $4.0 billion as of
September 30, 2022. Commercial loans, excluding PPP loans and sold commercial
participation loans, increased $220.8 million, consumer loans increased $172.6
million and residential mortgage loans increased $40.5 million since
December 31, 2021. These increases were offset by decreases in mortgage
warehouse loans of $35.3 million, PPP loans of $25.5 million, loans held for
sale of $10.7 million and sold commercial participation loans of $5.5 million
since December 31, 2021.

Other assets increased $77.6 million since December 31, 2021 to $158.4 million
as of September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
deferred tax assets related to the level of unrealized losses on available for
sale securities of approximately $35.4 million and an increase in the unrealized
gain of fair value hedges of approximately $31.1 million.

Total deposits increased $27.8 million since December 31, 2021 to $5.8 billion as of September 30, 2022, from organic growth.

Total borrowings increased to $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2022 from $712.7 million as of December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $871.6 million in short-term funds borrowed compared to $180.8 million at December 31, 2021.



Stockholders' equity totaled $645.0 million at September 30, 2022 compared to
$723.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in stockholders' equity during
the period was primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive
income of $130.5 million as unrealized losses on available for sale securities
totaled $161.8 million and the amount of dividends paid during the quarter,
offset by the generation of net income. Book value per common share at
September 30, 2022 decreased to $14.80 compared to $15.10 at December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations

Overview

Consolidated net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was
$23.8 million, or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, compared to $23.1 million,
or $0.52 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2021. The increase in
net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to
the same prior year period reflects an increase in net interest income of $6.9
million, a decrease in credit loss expense of $1.7 million and a decrease in
income tax expense of $2.0 million, offset by an increase in non-interest
expense of $4.0 million and a decrease in non-interest income of $5.9 million.

Consolidated net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 was
$72.2 million, or $1.65 diluted earnings per share, compared to $65.7 million,
or $1.49 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2021. The increase in
net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to
the same prior year period reflects an increase in net interest income of $22.9
million, a decrease in credit loss expense of $1.7 million and a decrease in
income tax expense of $1.7 million, offset by an increase in non-interest
expense of $11.4 million and a decrease in non-interest income of $8.3 million.


Net Interest Income

The largest component of net income is net interest income. Net interest income
is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and investment
securities, less interest expense, principally on deposits and borrowings.
Changes in the net interest income are the result of changes in volume and the
net interest spread, which affects the net interest margin. Volume refers to the
average dollar levels of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average
yield on interest earning assets and the average cost of interest bearing
liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by
average interest earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix
of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $53.4
million, an increase of $6.9 million from the $46.5 million earned during the
same period in 2021. Yields on the Company's interest earning assets increased
by 22 basis points to 3.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from
3.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest income increased
$12.2 million from $50.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021
to $63.0 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in interest income
was due to an increase in average balances of interest earning assets of $1.0
billion during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income from
acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments was $906,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $875,000 for the same period of
2021.

Rates paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 31 basis points for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Interest expense increased $5.3 million when compared to the three-month period
ended September 30, 2021 to $9.6 million for the same period in 2022. This
increase was due to higher rates paid on deposits and borrowings. The cost of
average interest bearing deposits increased 17 basis points while the cost of
average borrowings increased 96 basis points. Average balances of interest
bearing deposits increased $647.1 million and average balances of borrowings
increased $341.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022
when compared to the same period in 2021.

The net interest margin decreased four basis points from 3.17% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2021 to 3.13% for the same period in
2022. The decrease in the margin for the three-month period ended September 30,
2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was due to an increase in the cost of
interest bearing liabilities, offset by a increase in the yield on interest
earning assets. Excluding the interest income recognized from the
acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments ("adjusted net interest
margin"), the margin would have been 3.08% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2022 compared to 3.12% for the same period in 2021.

                           And Results of Operations
        For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $154.6
million, an increase of $22.9 million from the $131.7 million earned during the
same period in 2021. Yields on the Company's interest earning assets decreased
by 8 basis points to 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from
3.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Interest income increased
$26.8 million from $145.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
to $172.7 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in interest income
was due to an increase in average balances of interest earning assets of $1.2
billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income from
acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments was $3.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.7 million for the same
period of 2021.

Rates paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by one basis points for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Interest expense increased $3.9 million when compared to the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2021 to $18.1 million for the same period in 2022. This
increase was due to higher rates paid on borrowings. The cost of average
borrowings increased 9 basis points. Average balances of interest bearing
deposits increased $819.5 million and average balances of borrowings increased
$253.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared
to the same period in 2021.

The net interest margin decreased 17 basis points from 3.20% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2021 to 3.03% for the same period in 2022. The
decrease in the margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022
compared to the same period in 2021 was due to a decrease in the yield on
interest earning assets in addition to a slight increase in the cost of interest
bearing liabilities. Excluding the interest income recognized from the
acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments ("adjusted net interest
margin"), the margin would have been 2.97% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2022 compared to 3.14% for the same period in 2021.

Credit Loss Expense

Horizon assesses the adequacy of its Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") by
regularly reviewing the performance of its loan portfolio. During the
three-month period ended September 30, 2022, credit loss recovery totaled
$601,000 compared to a credit loss expense of $1.1 million for the same period
of 2021. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, commercial loan
net charge-offs were $51,000, residential mortgage loan net recoveries were
$75,000 and consumer loan net charge-offs were $162,000.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, credit loss expense
totaled a recovery of $1.7 million compared to a credit loss recovery of $13,000
for the same period of 2021. During the nine-month period ended September 30,
2022, commercial loan net charge-offs were $14,000, residential mortgage loan
net recoveries were $45,000 and consumer loan net charge-offs were $589,000.

The ACL balance at September 30, 2022 was $51.4 million, or 1.28% of total loans
compared to an ACL balance of $54.3 million at December 31, 2021 or 1.51% of
total loans. The decrease in the ACL to total loans ratio was primarily due to
favorable asset quality with non-performing loans at 0.48% of total loans at
period end and net charge-offs to average loans represented 0.00% for the third
quarter of 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, non-performing loans totaled $19.2 million, reflecting a $139,000 increase from $19.0 million in non-performing loans as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing commercial loans decreased by $310,000, non-performing real estate loans increased by $42,000 and non-performing consumer loans increased by $407,000 at September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") and repossessed assets totaled $3.2 million at
September 30, 2022 compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2021. The increase
was primarily due to several former branch locations totaling $1.5 million being
moved to OREO during the third quarter after being closed.

Total non-interest income was $5.9 million lower during the third quarter of
2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Residential mortgage loan activity
during the third quarter of 2022 generated $1.4 million of income from the gain
on sale of mortgage loans, down from $4.1 million for the same period in 2021
due to a lower volume of loans sold and a decrease in the percentage gain on
loans sold. Other income was $3.2 million lower during the third quarter of 2022
compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the gain
on sale of ESOP trustee accounts totaling $2.3 million and the recovery of
$876,000 from an acquired charged-off loan recorded during the third quarter of
2021. Fiduciary activities income was $921,000 lower during the third quarter of
2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to rapidly rising
interest rates during the most recent quarter. Service charges on deposit
accounts and interchange fees increased $732,000 and $502,000, respectively,
when comparing the third quarter of 2022 to the same period of 2021 primarily
due to the deposits acquired with the branch acquisition completed during the
third quarter of 2021.

Total non-interest income was $8.3 million lower for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Residential mortgage
loan activity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 generated $6.0
million of income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans, down from $15.0
million for the same period in 2021 due to a lower volume of loans sold and a
decrease in the percentage gain on loans sold. Other income was $2.3 million
lower during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same
period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the gain on sale of ESOP
trustee accounts totaling $2.3 million recorded during 2021. Fiduciary
activities income was $1.7 million lower during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to rapidly
rising interest rates during the current year. Mortgage servicing income, net of
impairment or recovery, increased $2.1 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 due to an impairment
recovery of $2.6 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2022 as mortgage pre-payment speeds slowed. Service charges on deposit accounts
and interchange fees increased $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, when
comparing the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 to the same period of
2021 primarily due to the deposits acquired with the branch acquisition
completed during the third quarter of 2021.

Total non-interest expense was $11.4 million higher in the first nine months of

due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $6.8 million due to additional
employees hired as a result of the 2021 branch acquisition, higher other expense
of $1.9 million, higher outside services and consultants expense of $1.6
million, and was partially offset by a decrease of $606,000 in loan expense and
a decrease of $505,000 in professional fees.

2.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

decrease of $2.0 million when compared to the second quarter of 2022 and a
decrease of $2.0 million when compared to the third quarter of 2021 due to the
recognition of solar tax credits as projects were put into service during the
quarter, which reduced the effective tax rate to 7.8%.

Income tax expense totaled $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.7 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity



The Bank maintains a stable base of core deposits provided by long-standing
relationships with individuals and local businesses. These deposits are the
principal source of liquidity for Horizon. Other sources of liquidity for
Horizon include earnings, loan repayment, investment security sales and
maturities, proceeds from the sale of residential mortgage loans, unpledged
investment securities and borrowing relationships with correspondent banks,
including the FHLB. At September 30, 2022, in addition to liquidity available
from the normal operating, funding, and investing activities of Horizon, the
Bank had approximately $917.6 million in unused credit lines with various money
center banks, including the FHLB and the FRB Discount Window compared to $672.7
million at December 31, 2021. The Bank had approximately $2.2 billion of
unpledged investment securities at September 30, 2022 compared to $2.0 billion
at December 31, 2021.



Capital Resources

The capital resources of Horizon and the Bank exceeded regulatory capital ratios
for "well capitalized" banks at September 30, 2022. Stockholders' equity totaled
$645.0 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $723.2 million as of
December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the ratio of
average stockholders' equity to average assets was 8.91% compared to 10.93% for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in stockholders' equity
during the period was due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive
income of $30.1 million and the amount of dividends paid, offset by net income
recorded during the period.

Horizon declared common stock dividends in the amount of $0.47 per share during
the first nine months of 2022 and $0.41 per share for the same period of 2021.
The dividend payout ratio (dividends as a percent of basic earnings per share)
was 28.3% and 27.3% for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
For additional information regarding dividends, see Horizon's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for 2021.

equity and pre-tax pre-provision net income. In each case, we have identified
special circumstances that we consider to be adjustments and have excluded them,
to show the impact of such events as acquisition-related purchase accounting
adjustments, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and
provide a greater understanding of our business and financial results without
giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and other adjustments. These
measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be
presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information
below and contained elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q for reconciliations of
the non-GAAP figures identified herein and their most comparable GAAP measures.
