Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations analyzes the major elements of the Company's balance sheets and
statements of income. This section should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in
Part I, Item 1 of this report and with the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

OVERVIEW

Prosperity Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Bancshares"), is a registered
financial holding company that derives substantially all of its revenues and
income from the operation of its bank subsidiary, Prosperity Bank (the "Bank,"
and together with Bancshares, the "Company"). The Bank provides a wide array of
financial products and services to businesses and consumers throughout Texas and
Oklahoma. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank operated 272 full-service banking
locations; with 65 in the Houston area including The Woodlands; 30 in the South
Texas area including Corpus Christi and Victoria; 62 in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area; 22 in the East Texas area; 29 in the Central Texas area including Austin
and San Antonio; 34 in the West Texas area including Lubbock, Midland-Odessa and
Abilene; 16 in the Bryan/College Station area; 6 in the Central Oklahoma area;
and 8 in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. The Company's principal executive office is
located at Prosperity Bank Plaza, 4295 San Felipe in Houston, Texas, and its
telephone number is (281) 269-7199. The Company's website address is
www.prosperitybankusa.com. Information contained on the Company's website is not
incorporated by reference into this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and is not
part of this or any other report.

The Company generates the majority of its revenues from interest income on
loans, service charges and fees on customer accounts and income from investment
in securities. The revenues are partially offset by interest expense paid on
deposits and other borrowings and noninterest expenses such as administrative
and occupancy expenses. Net interest income is the difference between interest
income on earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense on
liabilities such as deposits and borrowings which are used to fund those assets.
Net interest income is the Company's largest source of revenue. The level of
interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities impact net interest income and margin.

                                       30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Three principal components of the Company's growth strategy are internal growth,
efficient operations and acquisitions, including strategic merger transactions.
The Company focuses on continual internal growth. The Company maintains separate
data with respect to each banking center's net interest income, efficiency
ratio, deposit growth and loan growth for purposes of measuring its overall
profitability. The Company also focuses on maintaining efficiency and stringent
cost control practices and policies. The Company has centralized many of its
critical operations, such as data processing and loan processing. Management
believes that this centralized infrastructure can accommodate substantial
additional growth and achieve necessary controls while enabling the Company to
minimize operational costs through certain economies of scale. The Company also
intends to continue to seek expansion opportunities.

Total assets were $38.27 billion at March 31, 2022 compared with $37.83
billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $437.2 million or 1.2%. Total loans
were $18.07 billion at March 31, 2022 compared with $18.62 billion at
December 31, 2021, a decrease of $548.6 million or 2.9%. Total deposits were
$31.07 billion at March 31, 2022 compared with $30.77 billion at December 31,
2021, an increase of $296.5 million or 1.0%. Total shareholders' equity was
$6.50 billion at March 31, 2022 compared with $6.43 billion at December 31,
2021, an increase of $77.2 million or 1.2%.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



The Company's significant accounting policies are integral to understanding the
results reported. The Company's accounting policies are described in detail in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company believes
that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher
degree of judgment and complexity:

Business Combinations-Generally, acquisitions are accounted for under the
acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business
Combinations. A business combination occurs when the Company acquires net assets
that constitute a business and obtains control over that business. Business
combinations are effected through the transfer of consideration consisting of
cash and/or common stock and are accounted for using the acquisition method.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at
their respective fair values at the acquisition date. Determining the fair value
of assets and liabilities, especially the loan portfolio, is a process involving
significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate
estimated fair values. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year
after the closing date of the acquisition as information relative to closing
date fair values becomes available. The results of operations of an acquired
entity are included in the Company's consolidated results from acquisition date,
and prior periods are not restated.

Allowance for Credit Losses- The allowance for credit losses is accounted for in
accordance with FASB ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss
methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL")
methodology. CECL requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets)
measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to
be collected. The allowance for credit losses is an allowance available for
losses on loans and held-to-maturity securities. The allowance for credit losses
is adjusted through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit
losses. All losses are charged to the allowance when the loss actually occurs or
when a determination is made that such a loss is likely and can be reasonably
estimated. Recoveries are credited to the allowance at the time of recovery.

The Company's allowance for credit losses consists of two elements: (1) specific
valuation allowances based on expected losses on impaired loans and PCD loans;
and (2) a general valuation allowance based on historical lifetime loan loss
experience, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasted
economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and
external to the Company. Management has established an allowance for credit
losses which it believes is adequate for estimated losses in the Company's loan
portfolio. Based on an evaluation of the portfolio, management presents a
quarterly review of the allowance for credit losses to the Bank's Board of
Directors, indicating any change in the allowance since the last review and any
recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its evaluation,
management considers factors such as historical lifetime loan loss experience,
the amount of nonperforming assets and related collateral, the volume, growth
and composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions and reasonable and
supportable forecasted economic conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the portfolio
through its internal loan review process and other relevant factors. Portions of
the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire
allowance is available for any credit that, in management's judgment, should be
charged off. Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to be uncollectible. For
further discussion of the methodology used in the determination of the allowance
for credit losses on loans, see "Accounting for Acquired Loans and the Allowance
for Acquired Credit Losses" and "Financial Condition-Allowance for Credit Losses
on Loans" below.

                                       31
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Accounting for Acquired Loans and the Allowance for Acquired Credit Losses - The
Company accounts for its acquisitions using the acquisition method of
accounting. Accordingly, the assets, including loans, and liabilities of the
acquired entity are recorded at their fair values at the acquisition date. The
fair value estimates associated with acquired loans, and based on a discounted
cash flow model, include estimates related to market interest rates and
undiscounted projections of future cash flows that incorporate expectations of
prepayments and the amount and timing of principal, interest and other cash
flows, as well as any shortfalls thereof. For further discussion of the
methodology used in the determination of the allowance for credit losses for
acquired loans, see "Financial Condition-Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans"
below. For further discussion of the Company's acquisition and loan accounting,
see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC



The Company continues to monitor the latest developments regarding a novel
strain of coronavirus disease ("COVID-19"). Although the restrictions previously
imposed on businesses and activities by the states of Texas and Oklahoma
remained lifted as of March 31, 2022, it is possible that some restrictions
could be re-introduced if the number of cases were to increase due to the
emergence of a new variant of COVID-19 or otherwise. The COVID-19 pandemic has
resulted in significant economic uncertainties that have had, and could continue
to have, an adverse impact on the Company's operating income, financial
condition and cash flows. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact
the Company's operations and financial results during 2022 cannot be reasonably
or reliably estimated at this time.

Since the implementation of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") in 2020, the
Company has obtained Small Business Administration approvals on approximately
18,700 loans totaling $2.036 billion and, as of March 31, 2022, had an
outstanding balance of 819 loans totaling $86.3 million.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company provided relief to its loan
customers through loan extensions and deferrals beginning in March 2020 to
selected borrowers on a case-by-case basis. The Company's troubled debt
restructurings do not include loan modifications related to COVID-19. As of
March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $29.0 million in outstanding loans
subject to deferral and modification agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Net income available to common shareholders was $122.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2022 compared with $133.3 million for the same period in 2021, a
decrease of $11.0 million or 8.2%. Net income per diluted common share was $1.33
for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared with $1.44 for the same period in
2021, a decrease of 7.6%. The Company posted annualized returns on average
common equity of 7.54% and 8.60%, annualized returns on average assets of 1.29%
and 1.54% and efficiency ratios of 43.68% and 41.25% for the quarters ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The efficiency ratio is calculated by
dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and
noninterest income. Because the ratio is a measure of revenues and expenses
resulting from the Company's lending activities and fee-based banking services,
net gains and losses on the sale or write down of assets and securities are not
included. Additionally, taxes are not part of this calculation.

Net Interest Income



The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a
"volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change."

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022



Net interest income before the provision for credit losses was $239.9 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $14.6 million or 5.7%,
compared with $254.6 million for the same period in 2021. The change was
primarily due to a decrease in the average balance and average rate on loans and
a decrease in loan discount accretion of $11.1 million, partially offset by an
increase in the average investment securities balance and a decrease in the
average rate on interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest income on loans was $193.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2022, a decrease of $40.1 million or 17.2%, compared with $233.1 million for the
same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the average
balance and average rate on loans and a $11.1 million decrease in loan discount
accretion.

                                       32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Interest income on securities was $55.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2022, an increase of $16.3 million or 42.2%, compared with $38.7 million for the
same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in the average investment
securities balance.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $20.74 billion for the quarter ended
March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.79 billion or 9.5%, compared with $18.94
billion for the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in
interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and money market deposits partially
offset by a decrease in certificates and other time deposits.

The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 2.88% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of 53 basis points or 15.5% compared to 3.41%
for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to lower average rates
on loans, a decrease in loan discount accretion of $11.1 million and an increase
in the average balance on investment securities, partially offset by a decrease
in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount
of average balances, interest income from average interest-earning assets and
the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average
interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant rates. Except as indicated in the
footnotes, no tax-equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are
daily average balances. Any nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as
loans carrying a zero yield.

(2) Yield is based on amortized cost and does not include any component of

unrealized gains or losses.

(3) The net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by average

interest-earning assets.

(4) In order to make pretax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt investments

and loans comparable to those on taxable investments and loans, a

tax-equivalent adjustment has been computed using a federal income tax rate

of 21% and other applicable effective tax rates.

The following table presents information regarding the dollar amount of changes
in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated for each major
component of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
distinguishes between the changes attributable to changes in volume and changes
in interest rates. For purposes of this table, changes in interest income and
interest expense related to purchase accounting adjustments and changes
attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been
allocated to rate.

Provision for Credit Losses



Management actively monitors the Company's asset quality and provides specific
loss provisions when necessary. Provisions for credit losses are charged to
income to bring the total allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance
sheet credit exposures to a level deemed appropriate by management of the
Company based on such factors as historical lifetime credit loss experience, the
amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral, the volume growth and
composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and reasonable
and supportable forecasted economic conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio
through the internal loan review process and other relevant factors.

Loans are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when appropriate.
Although management believes it uses the best information available to make
determinations with respect to the provision for credit losses, future
adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions
used in making the initial determinations.

The Company had no provision for credit losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.



Net charge-offs were $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared
with net charge-offs of $8.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net
charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 did not include any
purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans and $553 thousand of specific
reserves on resolved PCD loans was released to the general reserve.

Noninterest Income



The Company's primary sources of recurring noninterest income are credit, debit
and ATM card income, nonsufficient funds ("NSF") fees and service charges on
deposit accounts. Additionally, the Company generates recurring noninterest
income from its various additional products and services, including trust
services, mortgage lending, brokerage and independent sales organization
sponsorship operations. Noninterest income does not include loan origination
fees, which are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to
yield using the interest method.

                                       35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Noninterest income totaled $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2022 compared with $34.0 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of
$1.1 million or 3.3%. This change was primarily due to increases in NSF fees and
other noninterest income and a net gain on the sale of assets, partially offset
by a decrease in mortgage income.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of
noninterest income:

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan Portfolio

The Company separates its loan portfolio into two general categories of loans:
(1) "originated loans," which are loans originated by Prosperity Bank and made
pursuant to the Company's loan policy and procedures in effect at the time the
loan was made, and (2) "acquired loans," which are loans acquired in a business
combination and preliminarily recorded at fair value at acquisition date. Those
acquired loans that are renewed or substantially modified after the date of the
business combination are referred to as "re-underwritten acquired loans." If a
renewal or substantial modification of an acquired loan is underwritten by the
Company with a new credit analysis, the loan may no longer be categorized as an
acquired loan. For example, acquired loans to one borrower may be combined into
a new loan with a new loan number and categorized as an originated loan.
Acquired loans with a fair value discount or premium at the date of the business
combination that remained at the reporting date are referred to as "fair-valued
acquired loans." All fair-valued acquired loans are further categorized into
purchased credit-deteriorated loans ("PCD loans") and "Non-PCD loans." Acquired
loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the acquisition date
when compared to the origination date are classified as PCD loans.

The following tables summarize the Company's originated and acquired loan portfolios broken out into originated loans, re-underwritten acquired loans, Non-PCD loans and PCD loans, as of the dates indicated.

At March 31, 2022, total loans were $18.07 billion, a decrease of $548.6 million
or 2.9%, compared with $18.62 billion at December 31, 2021. Loans at March 31,
2022 included $2.8 million of loans held for sale and $1.34 billion of Warehouse
Purchase Program loans compared with $7.3 million of loans held for sale and
$1.78 billion of Warehouse Purchase Program loans at December 31, 2021. At
March 31, 2022, loans represented 47.2% of total assets compared with 49.2% of
total assets at December 31, 2021.

The loan portfolio consists of various types of loans categorized by major type as follows:



(i) Commercial and Industrial Loans. In nearly all cases, the Company's
commercial loans are made in the Company's market areas and are underwritten on
the basis of the borrower's ability to service the debt from income. Working
capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term
loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets. As a general practice,
term loans are secured by any available real estate, equipment or other assets
owned by the borrower. Both working capital and term loans are typically
supported by a personal guaranty of a principal. In general, commercial loans
involve more credit risk than residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage
loans and, therefore, usually yield a higher return. The increased risk in
commercial loans is due to the type of collateral securing these loans as well
as the expectation that commercial loans generally will be serviced principally
from the operations of the business, and those operations may not be successful.
Historical trends have shown these types of loans to have higher delinquencies
than mortgage loans. As a result of these additional complexities, variables and
risks, commercial loans require more thorough underwriting and servicing than
other types of loans.

Included in commercial and industrial loans are (1) commitments to oil and gas
producers largely secured by proven, developed and producing reserves and (2)
commitments to service, equipment and midstream companies secured mainly by
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Mineral reserve values supporting
commitments to producers are normally re-determined semi-annually using reserve
studies prepared by a third-party or the Company's oil and gas engineer.
Accounts receivable and inventory borrowing bases for service companies are
typically re-determined monthly. Funding requests by both producers and service
companies are monitored relative to the most recently determined borrowing
base. As of March 31, 2022, oil and gas loans totaled $445.9 million (net of
discount and excluding PPP loans totaling $17.0 million) or 2.5% of total loans,
compared with total oil and gas loans of $491.3 million (net of discount and
excluding PPP loans totaling $27.9 million) or 2.6% of total loans as of
December 31, 2021. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had total
unfunded commitments to oil and gas companies of $417.0 million compared with
total unfunded commitments to oil and gas companies of $419.0 million as of
December 31, 2021. Total unfunded commitments to producers include letters of
credit issued in lieu of oil well plugging bonds.

(ii) Commercial Real Estate. The Company makes commercial real estate loans
collateralized by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied real estate to finance
the purchase of real estate. The Company's commercial real estate loans are
collateralized by first liens on real estate, typically have variable interest
rates (or five year or less fixed rates) and amortize over a 15- to 25-year
period. Payments on loans secured by nonowner-occupied properties are often
dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties.
Accordingly, repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in
the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of
loans. The Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including
giving careful consideration to the property's operating history, future
operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical
condition, in connection with underwriting these loans. The underwriting
analysis also includes credit verification, analysis of global cash flow,
appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower and
guarantor. Loans to hotels and restaurants are included in commercial real
estate loans. As of March 31, 2022, loans to hotels totaled $392.0 million
(excluding PPP loans totaling $512 thousand) or 2.2% of total loans, compared to
$386.4 million (excluding PPP loans totaling $920 thousand) or 2.1% of total
loans at December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, loans to restaurants totaled
$193.2 million (excluding PPP loans totaling $12.3 million) or 1.1% of total
loans, compared to $201.7 million (excluding PPP loans totaling $29.3 million)
or 1.1% of total loans at December 31, 2021.

(iii) 1-4 Family Residential Loans. The Company's lending activities also
include the origination of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans (including home
equity loans) collateralized by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied residential
properties located in the Company's market areas. The Company offers a variety
of mortgage loan portfolio products which generally are amortized over five to
30 years. Loans collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate generally
have been originated in amounts of no more than 89% of appraised value. The
Company requires mortgage title insurance, as well as hazard, wind and/or flood
insurance as appropriate. The Company prefers to retain residential mortgage
loans for its own account rather than selling them into the secondary market. By
doing so, the Company incurs interest rate risk as well as the risks associated
with non-payments on such loans. The Company's mortgage department also offers a
variety of mortgage loan products which are generally amortized over 30 years,
including FHA and VA loans, which are sold to secondary market investors.

(iv) Construction, Land Development and Other Land Loans. The Company makes
loans to finance the construction of residential and nonresidential properties.
Construction loans generally are collateralized by first liens on real estate
and have variable interest rates. The Company conducts periodic inspections,
either directly or through an agent, prior to approval of periodic draws on

                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


these loans. Underwriting guidelines similar to those described above are also
used in the Company's construction lending activities, with heightened analysis
of construction and/or development costs. Construction loans involve additional
risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of
a project under construction, and the project is of uncertain value prior to its
completion. Because of uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs,
the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental
regulation on real property, it can be difficult to accurately evaluate the
total funds required to complete a project and the related loan to value ratio.
As a result of these uncertainties, construction lending often involves the
disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the
success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or
guarantor to repay the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project
prior to completion, the Company may not be able to recover all of the unpaid
portion of the loan. In addition, the Company may be required to fund additional
amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an
indeterminate period of time. Although the Company has underwriting procedures
designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable levels of risks in
construction lending, these procedures may not prevent losses from the risks
described above.

(v) Warehouse Purchase Program. The Warehouse Purchase Program allows
unaffiliated mortgage originators ("Clients") to close 1-4 family real estate
loans in their own name and manage their cash flow needs until the loans are
sold to investors. The Company's Clients are strategically targeted for their
experienced management teams and analyzed for the expected profitability of each
Client's business model over the long term. The Clients are located across the
U.S. and originate mortgage loans primarily through traditional retail and/or
wholesale business models using underwriting standards as required by United
States government-sponsored enterprise agencies, "Agencies" such as Fannie Mae,
private investors to which the mortgage loans are ultimately sold and/or
mortgage insurers.

Although not subject to any legally binding commitment, when the Company makes a
purchase decision, it acquires a 100% participation interest in the mortgage
loans originated by its Clients. Individual mortgage loans are warehoused in the
Company's portfolio only for a short duration, averaging less than 30 days. When
instructed by a Client that a warehoused loan has been sold to an investor, the
Company delivers the note to the investor that pays the Company, which in turn
remits the net sales proceeds to the Client.

(vi) Agriculture Loans. The Company provides agriculture loans for short-term
livestock and crop production, including rice, cotton, milo and corn, farm
equipment financing and agriculture real estate financing. The Company evaluates
agriculture borrowers primarily based on their historical profitability, level
of experience in their particular industry segment, overall financial capacity
and the availability of secondary collateral to withstand economic and natural
variations common to the industry. Because agriculture loans present a higher
level of risk associated with events caused by nature, the Company routinely
makes on-site visits and inspections in order to identify and monitor such
risks.

(vii) Consumer Loans. Consumer loans made by the Company include direct
"A"-credit automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, boat loans, home
improvement loans, personal loans (collateralized and uncollateralized) and
deposit account collateralized loans. The terms of these loans typically range
from 12 to 180 months and vary based upon the nature of collateral and size of
loan. Generally, consumer loans entail greater risk than do real estate secured
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or
collateralized by rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles. In such
cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide
an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan balance. The remaining
deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against
the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition, consumer loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and
thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness,
personal bankruptcy or death. Furthermore, the application of various federal
and state laws may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and
validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews
are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces
the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit
personnel, as well as the Company's policies and procedures.

Nonperforming Assets



Nonperforming assets include loans on nonaccrual status, accruing loans 90 days
or more past due, repossessed assets and real estate which has been acquired
through foreclosure and is awaiting disposition. Nonperforming assets do not
include PCD loans unless the loan has deteriorated since the acquisition date.
PCD loans are reported as nonperforming assets when a deterioration in projected
cash flows is identified.

The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing
interest when the payment of principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days, or
earlier in some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the
underlying collateral

                                       39
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


fully supports the carrying value of the loan. A loan may be returned to accrual
status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought
current and future principal and interest amounts contractually due are
reasonably assured, which is typically evidenced by a sustained period (at least
six months) of repayment performance by the borrower.

Nonperforming assets decreased $904 thousand, or 3.2%, to $27.2 million at March 31, 2022 compared with $28.1 million at December 31, 2021, of which $9.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, were attributable to acquired loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans



The allowance for credit losses is adjusted through charges to earnings in the
form of a provision for credit losses. Management has established an allowance
for credit losses on loans which it believes is adequate as of March 31, 2022
for estimated losses in the Company's loan portfolio. The amount of the
allowance for credit losses on loans is affected by the following: (1)
charge-offs of loans that occur when loans are deemed uncollectible and decrease
the allowance, (2) recoveries on loans previously charged off that increase the
allowance, (3) provisions for credit losses charged to earnings that increase
the allowance, and (4) provision releases returned to earnings that decrease the
allowance. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio and consideration of the
factors listed below, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance
for credit losses to the Bank's Board of Directors, indicating any change in the
allowance since the last review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the
allowance. Although management believes it uses the best information available
to make determinations with respect to the allowance for credit losses, future
adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions or the borrower's
performance differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations.

The Company's allowance for credit losses consists of two components: (1) a
specific valuation allowance based on expected lifetime losses on specifically
identified loans and (2) a general valuation allowance based on historical
lifetime loan loss experience, current economic conditions, reasonable and
supportable forecasted economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors
both internal and external to the Company.

In setting the specific valuation allowance, the Company follows a loan review
program to evaluate the credit risk in the total loan portfolio and assigns risk
grades to each loan. Through this loan review process, the Company maintains an
internal list of impaired loans which, along with the delinquency list of loans,
helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. All loans that have been identified
as impaired are reviewed on a quarterly basis in order to determine whether a
specific reserve is required. For certain impaired loans, the Company allocates
a specific loan loss reserve primarily based on the value of the collateral
securing the impaired loan. The specific reserves are determined on an
individual loan basis. Loans for which specific reserves are provided are
excluded from the general valuation allowance described below.

In determining the amount of the general valuation allowance, management
considers factors such as historical lifetime loan loss experience,
concentration risk of specific loan types, the volume, growth and composition of
the Company's loan portfolio, current economic conditions and reasonable and
supportable forecasted economic conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company's loan
portfolio through its internal loan review process, other qualitative risk
factors both internal and external to the Company and other relevant factors.
Historical lifetime loan loss experience is determined by utilizing an open-pool
("cumulative loss rate") methodology. Adjustments to the historical lifetime
loan loss experience are made for differences in current loan pool risk
characteristics such as portfolio concentrations, delinquency, non-accrual, and
watch list levels, as well as changes in current and forecasted economic
conditions such as unemployment rates, property and collateral values, and other
indices relating to economic activity. The utilization of reasonable and
supportable forecasts includes an immediate reversion to lifetime historical
loss rates. Based on a review of these factors for each loan type, the Company
applies an estimated percentage to the outstanding balance of each loan type,
excluding any loan that has a specific reserve. Allocation of a portion of the
allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb
losses in other categories.

A change in the allowance for credit losses can be attributable to several factors, most notably (1) specific reserves identified for impaired loans, (2) historical lifetime credit loss information, (3) changes in current and forecasted environmental factors and (4) growth in the balance of loans.



Changes in the Company's asset quality are reflected in the allowance in several
ways. Specific reserves that are calculated on a loan-by-loan basis and the
qualitative assessment of all other loans reflect current changes in the credit
quality of the loan portfolio. Historical lifetime credit losses, on the other
hand, are based on an open-pool ("cumulative loss rate") methodology, which is
then applied to estimate lifetime credit losses in the loan portfolio. A
deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio in the current period
would increase the historical lifetime loss rate to be applied in future
periods, just as an improvement in credit quality would decrease the historical
lifetime loss rate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The allowance for credit losses is further determined by the size of the loan
portfolio subject to the allowance methodology and environmental factors that
include Company-specific risk indicators and general economic conditions, both
of which are constantly changing. The Company evaluates the economic and
portfolio-specific factors on a quarterly basis to determine a qualitative
component of the general valuation allowance. The factors include current
economic metrics, reasonable and supportable forecasted economic metrics,
business conditions, delinquency trends, credit concentrations, nature and
volume of the portfolio and other adjustments for items not covered by specific
reserves and historical lifetime loss experience. Management's assessment of
qualitative factors is a statistically based approach to determine the loss rate
adjustment associated with such factors. Based on the Company's actual
historical lifetime loan loss experience relative to economic and loan
portfolio-specific factors at the time the losses occurred, management is able
to identify the expected level of lifetime losses as of the date of measurement.
The correlation of historical loss experience with current and forecasted
economic conditions provides an estimate of lifetime losses that has not been
previously factored into the general valuation allowance by the determination of
specific reserves and lifetime historical losses. Additionally, the Company
considers qualitative factors not easily quantified and the possibility of model
imprecision.

Utilizing the aggregation of specific reserves, historical loss experience and a
qualitative component, management is able to determine the valuation allowance
to reflect the full lifetime loss.

The Company accounts for its acquisitions using the acquisition method of
accounting. Accordingly, the assets, including loans, and liabilities of the
acquired entity are recorded at their fair values at the acquisition date. These
fair value estimates associated with acquired loans, and based on a discounted
cash flow model, include estimates related to market interest rates and
undiscounted projections of future cash flows that incorporate expectations of
prepayments and the amount and timing of principal, interest and other cash
flows, as well as any shortfalls thereof.

Non-PCD loans that were not deemed impaired subsequent to the acquisition date
are considered non-impaired and are evaluated as part of the general valuation
allowance.

Non-PCD loans that have deteriorated to an impaired status subsequent to
acquisition are evaluated for a specific reserve on a quarterly basis which,
when identified, is added to the allowance for credit losses. The Company
reviews impaired Non-PCD loans on a loan-by-loan basis and determines the
specific reserve based on the difference between the recorded investment in the
loan and one of three factors: expected future cash flows, observable market
price or fair value of the collateral. Because essentially all of the Company's
impaired Non-PCD loans have been collateral-dependent, the amount of the
specific reserve historically has been determined by comparing the fair value of
the collateral securing the Non-PCD loan with the recorded investment in such
loan. In the future, the Company will continue to analyze impaired Non-PCD loans
on a loan-by-loan basis and may use an alternative measurement method to
determine the specific reserve, as appropriate and in accordance with applicable
accounting standards.

PCD loans are individually monitored on a quarterly basis to assess for changes
in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition. If a deterioration in cash
flows is identified, an increase to the specific reserve for that loan is made.
PCD loans were recorded at their acquisition date fair values, which were based
on expected cash flows and considers estimates of expected future credit losses.
The Company's estimates of loan fair values at the acquisition date may be
adjusted for a period of up to one year as the Company continues to evaluate its
estimate of expected future cash flows at the acquisition date. If the Company
determines that losses arose after the acquisition date, the additional losses
will be reflected as a provision for credit losses. See "Critical Accounting
Policies" above for more information.

As described in the section captioned "Critical Accounting Policies" above, the
Company's determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a high
degree of judgment and complexity. The Company's analysis of qualitative, or
environmental, factors on pools of loans with common risk characteristics, in
combination with the quantitative historical lifetime loss information and
specific reserves, provides the Company with an estimate of lifetime losses. The
allowance must reflect changes in the balance of loans subject to the allowance
methodology, as well as the estimated lifetime losses associated with those
loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans as of March 31, 2022 totaled
$285.2 million or 1.58% of total loans, including acquired loans with discounts,
a decrease of $1.2 million or 0.4% compared to the allowance for credit losses
on loans totaling $286.4 million or 1.54% of total loans, including acquired
loans with discounts, as of December 31, 2021. For further discussion on the
provision for credit losses, see "Results of Operations-Provision for Credit
Losses" above.

The allowance for credit losses totaled $285.2 million at March 31, 2022 and
$286.4 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses totaled
1.58% of total loans at March 31, 2022 and 1.54% of total loans at December 31,
2021.

At March 31, 2022, $189.1 million of the allowance for credit losses was
attributable to originated loans, an increase of $2.4 million or 1.3% compared
with $186.7 million of the allowance at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022,
$43.9 million of the allowance for credit losses was attributable to
re-underwritten acquired loans compared with $42.6 million of the allowance at
December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.4 million or 3.2%. At March 31, 2022, $27.4
million of the allowance for credit losses was attributable to Non-PCD loans
compared with $31.8 million of the allowance at December 31, 2021, a decrease of
$4.4 million or 13.9%. At March 31, 2022, $24.7 million of the allowance for
credit losses was attributable to PCD loans compared with $25.3 million of the
allowance at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $553 thousand or 2.2%.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $7.8 million of total outstanding accretable discounts on Non-PCD loans and PCD loans.



The Company believes that the allowance for credit losses on loans at March 31,
2022 is adequate to absorb expected lifetime losses that may be realized from
the loan portfolio as of such date. Nevertheless, the Company could sustain
losses in future periods which could be substantial in relation to the size of
the allowance at March 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures



The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures estimates
expected credit losses over the contractual period in which there is exposure to
credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, except when an
obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance is
adjusted by provisions for credit losses charged to earnings that increase the
allowance, or by provision releases returned to earnings that decrease the
allowance. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding
will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on the commitments expected
to fund. The estimate of commitments expected to fund is affected by historical
analysis of utilization rates. The expected credit loss rates applied to the
commitments expected to fund are affected by the general valuation allowance
utilized for outstanding balances with the same underlying assumptions and
drivers. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $29.9
million in allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures.
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is a
separate line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Securities

The carrying cost of securities totaled $14.80 billion at March 31, 2022 compared with $12.82 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.98 billion or 15.4%. At March 31, 2022, securities represented 38.7% of total assets compared with 33.9% of total assets at December 31, 2021.

The investment securities portfolio is measured for expected credit losses by
segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate
expected credit losses methodology. Investment securities classified as
available for sale or held to maturity are evaluated for expected credit losses
under FASB ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses."

Available for sale securities. For available for sale securities in an
unrealized loss position, the amount of the expected credit losses recognized in
earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more
likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its
amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends
to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the
expected credit losses will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire
difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at
the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it
is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period
loss, the expected credit losses will be separated into the amount representing
the credit-related portion of the impairment loss ("credit loss") and the
noncredit portion of the impairment loss ("noncredit portion"). The amount of
the total expected credit losses related to the credit loss is determined based
on the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be
collected and the amortized cost basis, and such difference is recognized in
earnings. The amount of the total expected credit losses related to the
noncredit portion is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable
taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the expected credit losses
recognized in earnings will become the new amortized cost basis of the
investment.

As of March 31, 2022, management does not have the intent to sell any of the
securities classified as available for sale before a recovery of cost. In
addition, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will
not be required to sell any of its investment securities before a recovery of
cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to changes in market interest rates
and spread relationships since the time the underlying securities were
purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach
their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments
decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to
reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, management
believes that there is no potential for credit losses on available for sale
securities.

Held to maturity securities. The Company's held to maturity investments include
mortgage-related bonds issued by either the Government National Mortgage
Corporation ("Ginnie Mae"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae")
or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").  Ginnie Mae issued
securities are explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, while Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac issued securities are fully guaranteed by those respective
United States government-sponsored agencies, and conditionally guaranteed by the
full faith and credit of the United States.  The Company's held to maturity
securities also include taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities issued
primarily by school districts, utility districts and municipalities located in
Texas. The Company's investment in municipal securities is exposed to credit
risk. The securities are highly rated by major rating agencies and regularly
reviewed by management. A significant portion are guaranteed or insured by
either the Texas Permanent School Fund, Assured Guaranty or Build America
Mutual. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's municipal securities represent 0.8%
of the securities portfolio. Management has the ability and intent to hold the
securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time the
Company will receive full value for the securities. Accordingly, as of March 31,
2022, management believes that there is no potential for material credit losses
on held to maturity securities.

FHLB advances and long-term notes payable- The Company has an available line of
credit with the FHLB of Dallas, which allows the Company to borrow on a
collateralized basis. The Company's FHLB advances are typically considered
short-term borrowings and are used to manage liquidity as needed. Maturing
advances are replaced by drawing on available cash, making additional borrowings
or through increased customer deposits. At March 31, 2022, the Company had total
funds of $14.26 billion available under this line. At March 31, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, the Company had no FHLB advances or long-term notes payable
balances.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements- At March 31, 2022, the Company had
$440.9 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements with banking
customers compared with $448.1 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.2
million or 1.6%. Repurchase agreements are generally settled on the following
business day; however, approximately $5.5 million of the repurchase agreements
outstanding at March 31, 2022 have maturity dates ranging from 6 to 24 months.
All securities sold under repurchase agreements are collateralized by certain
pledged securities.

LIBOR Transition

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, LIBOR was used as an index rate for
the Company's interest-rate swaps and approximately 6.7% and 11.4% of the
Company's loan portfolio, respectively. On September 30, 2021, the Company began
transitioning away from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or
other alternative variable rate indexes for its interest-rate swaps and loans
historically using LIBOR as an index.

Liquidity



Liquidity involves the Company's ability to raise funds to support asset growth
and acquisitions or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment
obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate the
Company on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. The Company's largest
source of funds is deposits and its largest use of funds is loans. The Company
does not expect a change in the source or use of its funds in the future.
Although access to purchased funds from correspondent banks is available and has
been utilized on occasion to take advantage of investment opportunities, the
Company does not generally rely on this external funding source. The cash and
federal funds sold position, supplemented by amortizing investment and loan
portfolios, has generally created an adequate liquidity position.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding $4.75 billion in commitments
to extend credit, $95.3 million in commitments associated with outstanding
standby letters of credit and $1.50 billion in commitments associated with
unused capacity on Warehouse Purchase Program loans. Since commitments
associated with letters of credit, unused capacity on Warehouse Purchase Program
loans and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding
may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

The Company has no exposure to future cash requirements associated with known uncertainties or capital expenditures of a material nature.



Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or
which will mature in the near future. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $1.56 billion compared with $2.55 billion at
December 31, 2021, a decrease of $987.4 million or 38.8%. The decrease was
primarily due to the purchases of investment securities of $4.13 billion and
payment of cash dividends of $47.9 million, partially offset by maturities of
investment securities of $2.14 billion, a decrease in total loans of $546.5
million, an increase in deposits of $296.6 million and net cash provided by
operating activities of $235.7 million.

Share Repurchases



On January 18, 2022, Bancshares announced a stock repurchase program that
authorized the repurchase of up to 5%, or approximately 4.6 million shares, of
its outstanding common stock over a one-year period expiring on January 18,
2023, at the discretion of management. Under the stock repurchase program,
Bancshares may repurchase shares from time to time at prevailing market prices,
through open-market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, depending
upon market conditions. Repurchases under this program may also be made in
transactions outside the safe harbor during a pending merger, acquisition or
similar transaction. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will
depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory
requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and
priorities. Shares of stock repurchased are held as authorized but unissued
shares. Bancshares is not obligated to purchase any particular number of shares,
and Bancshares may suspend, modify or terminate the program at any time and for
any reason without prior notice. No repurchases were made during the first
quarter of 2022.

Leases



The Company's leases relate primarily to operating leases for office space and
banking centers. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains
a lease at inception. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 17
years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably
certain for the Company to exercise that option. Operating lease right-of-use
(ROU) assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on
the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its
incremental collateralized borrowing rate to determine the present value of
lease payments. Short-term leases and leases with variable lease costs are
immaterial, and the Company has one sublease arrangement. Sublease income for
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was $798 thousand and $450
thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, operating lease ROU assets and
lease liabilities were approximately $46.7 million. ROU assets and lease
liabilities were classified as other assets and other liabilities, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average of remaining lease terms of the
Company's operating leases was 5.9 years. The weighted average discount rate
used to determine the lease liabilities as of March 31, 2022 for the Company's
operating leases was 2.16%. Cash paid for the Company's operating leases for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2.8 million and $3.5 million,
respectively. The Company obtained $397 thousand in ROU assets in exchange for
lease liabilities for one operating lease during the three months ended
March 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Items



In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions
that, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in its consolidated balance
sheets. The Company enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs
of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit,
unused capacity of Warehouse Purchase Program loans and commitments to extend
credit expiring by period as of March 31, 2022 are summarized below. Since
commitments associated with letters of credit, unused capacity of Warehouse
Purchase Program loans and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the
amounts shown may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding
requirements.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-balance Sheet Credit Exposures. The Company
records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposure that
is adjusted through a charge to provision for credit losses on the Company's
consolidated statement of income. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this
allowance, reported as a separate line item on the Company's consolidated
balance sheet, totaled $29.9 million.

Capital Resources



Total shareholders' equity was $6.50 billion at March 31, 2022 compared with
$6.43 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $77.2 million or 1.2%. The
increase was primarily the result of net income of $122.3 million partially
offset by dividend payments of $47.9 million.

The Basel III Capital Rules adopted by the federal regulatory authorities in
2013 substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to the
Company and the Bank. The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the
Company on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions.
The Basel III Capital Rules require a capital conservation buffer with respect
to each of the Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based
capital ratios, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum
risk-based capital adequacy requirements.  The capital conservation buffer of
2.5% was fully phased-in on January 1, 2019. A financial institution with a
conservation buffer of less than the required amount will be subject to
limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock
repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the joint federal bank
regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that allows banking
organizations that implement CECL in 2020 to mitigate the effects of the CECL
accounting standard in their regulatory capital for two years. This two-year
delay is in addition to the three-year transition period that the agencies had
already made available. The Company adopted the option provided by the interim
final rule, which delayed the effects of CECL on its regulatory capital through
2021, after which the effects will be phased-in over a three-year period from
January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under the interim final rule, the
amount of adjustments to regulatory capital deferred until the phase-in period

                                       49
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


include both the initial impact of the Company's adoption of CECL at January 1,
2020 and 25% of subsequent changes in the Company's allowance for credit losses
during each quarter of the two-year period ending December 31, 2021. On January
1, 2022, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments began being phased
in over the three-year transition period, with 75% to be recognized in 2022, 50%
to be recognized in 2023, and 25% to be recognized in 2024.

Financial institutions are categorized by the FDIC based on minimum Common
Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios.
As of March 31, 2022, the Bank's capital ratios were above the levels required
for the Bank to be designated as "well capitalized."

The following table provides a comparison of the Company's and the Bank's risk-weighted and leverage capital ratios to the minimum and well-capitalized regulatory standards as of March 31, 2022:
