Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp" or "the Company"), is a FHC headquartered
in Louisville, Kentucky and is engaged in the business of banking through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company ("SYB" or "the
Bank") and SYB Insurance Company, Inc. ("the Captive"). Bancorp, which was
incorporated in 1988 in Kentucky, is registered with, and subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. As Bancorp has no significant operations of its own, its
business is essentially that of SYB and the Captive. The operations of SYB and
the Captive are fully reflected in the consolidated financial statements of
Bancorp. Accordingly, references to "Bancorp" in this document may encompass
both the holding company and its subsidiaries, however, it should be noted that
the business of the Captive is immaterial to the overall results of operations
and financial condition of Bancorp. All significant inter-company transactions
and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.



SYB, established in 1904, is a state-chartered non-member financial institution
that provides services in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as
well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs through 73 full
service banking center locations. The Bank is registered with, and subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by the FDIC and the Kentucky Department
of Financial Institutions.



The Captive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp, is a Nevada-based captive
insurance company that provides insurance against certain risks unique to
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be
currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace.
The Captive pools resources with several other similar insurance company
subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among
themselves. The Captive is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and
undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance. It has
elected to be taxed under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant
to Section 831(b), if gross premiums do not exceed $2,450,000, then the Captive
is taxable solely on its investment income. The Captive is included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements and its federal income tax return.



As a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. on March 7,
2022, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of three unconsolidated Delaware
trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory
Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust
subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for
subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS.



Also as a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc., Bancorp
acquired a 60% interest in Landmark Financial Advisors, LLC (LFA), which is
based in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provides wealth management services. LFA is
consolidated into the Company. The 40% non-controlling interest is presented
within the consolidated financial statements and represents the interest in LFA
not owned by Bancorp.

Acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. and its Subsidiary Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company






On March 7, 2022, Bancorp completed its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company,
collectively defined as "CB," a Louisville, Kentucky-based commercial bank and
trust company, which operated 15 retail branches, including nine in Jefferson
County, four in Shelby County, and two in Northern Kentucky. At the time of
acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had $1.34 billion in
assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment securities and $1.12
billion in deposits in addition to maintaining a WM&T Department with total
assets under management of approximately $2.65 billion. CB was also the holding
company for three unconsolidated Delaware trust subsidiaries and a 60% interest
in Landmark Financial Advisors, LLC (LFA). Bancorp became the 100% successor
owner of all three trust subsidiaries and also retained the 60% interest in LFA
upon acquisition. Bancorp acquired all outstanding common stock of CB, Inc. in a
combined stock and cash transaction that resulted in total consideration paid to
CB shareholders of $168 million.



Bancorp recorded goodwill of $67 million and incurred pre-tax merger related
expenses totaling $19.5 million during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of
the CB acquisition.



The acquisition of CB has had a significant impact on the ACL and credit loss
provisioning in 2022. In total, the CB acquisition served to increase the ACL on
loans by $14 million at acquisition date. This increase consisted of $10 million
attributed to the acquired PCD loan portfolio, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense), and $4.4
million of provision for credit loss expense recorded in relation to the
acquired loan portfolio.



Acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. and its Subsidiary Kentucky Bank






On May 31, 2021, Bancorp completed its acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kentucky Bank, collectively defined as "KB," a
Paris, Kentucky-based commercial bank and trust company, which operated 19
retail branches throughout central and eastern Kentucky. At the time of
acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had $1.27 billion in
assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment securities and $1.04
billion in deposits. KB was also the holding company for an insurance captive,
which Bancorp retained and renamed SYB Insurance Company, Inc. Bancorp acquired
all outstanding common stock of KB in a combined stock and cash transaction that
resulted in total consideration paid to KB shareholders of $233 million.



Bancorp recorded goodwill of $123 million and incurred pre-tax merger related
expenses totaling $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result
of the KB acquisition.



The acquisition of KB had a significant impact on the ACL and credit loss
provisioning for the year ended December 31, 2021. In total, the KB acquisition
served to increase the ACL by $14 million at acquisition date. This increase
consisted of $7 million attributed to the acquired PCD loan portfolio, with the
corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit
loss expense), and $7.4 million attributed to the acquired non-PCD portfolio,
which represented the acquisition-related credit loss expense at the time of
acquisition.

Additional discussion follows under the section titled "Results of Operations."

General highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021:

? Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had approximately

$1.34 billion in total assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in

investment securities and $1.12 billion in deposits. Given the timing of the

acquisition, the three months ended June 30, 2022 represented the first full

quarter of activity associated with the CB acquisition. There were no one-time

merger related expenses recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

? Bancorp also completed its acquisition of KB on May 31, 2021. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had approximately

$1.27 billion in assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment

securities and $1.04 billion in deposits, further contributing to the

substantial balance sheet growth experienced over the past twelve months.

Given the timing of the acquisition, the three months ended June 30, 2021

included only one month of activity associated with the KB acquisition and

included $18.1 million of one-time merger related expenses in addition to $7.4

million in credit loss expense associated with the acquired loan portfolio.

? Net income totaled $26.8 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.91 for the

three months ended June 30, 2022, a significant increase over $0.17 for the

same period of 2021, which included the acquisition related charges mentioned

above. Significant factors affecting the results for the three months ended

June 30, 2022 and 2021 include:

o The three months ended June 30, 2022 represented the first full quarter of

activity related to the CB acquisition. No one-time merger related expenses

were recorded during the period.

o The three months ended June 30, 2021 represented only one month of activity

related to the KB acquisition and included $18.1 million of one-time merger


    related expenses and $7.4 million in credit loss expense related to the
    acquired loan portfolio.

o Net interest income increased $15.4 million, or 37%, for the three months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, as both

acquisition-related growth and organic growth in loans and investment

securities overcame a substantial decline in PPP-related fee recognition.






                                       76

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


  Table of Contents


o Negative provision for credit losses of $200,000 was recorded for the three

months ended June 30, 2022 compared to expense of $4.1 million for the same

period of last year. The negative provision recorded for the three months


    ended June 30, 2022 was driven mainly by the release of $3.0 million in
    specific reserves associated with recently acquired loans. The expense
    recorded for the prior year was driven by the KB acquisition, which was
    completed in the second quarter of 2021.


  ? NIM decreased 16 bps to 3.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2022

compared to 3.36% for the same period in 2021. Recent interest rate actions

from the FRB have had a positive impact on net interest income and NIM, but

the full effects of rising rates were not realized during the three months

ended June 30, 2022 due to the timing of the rate increases. Bancorp expects

to realize further benefits to net interest income and NIM from both the

recent hikes and anticipated future hikes in the quarters ahead.

? Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.01 billion, or 26%, compared to

June 30, 2021, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans during the

first quarter of 2022 in relation to the CB acquisition and strong organic

growth. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.46 billion, or 44%,

for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Average balance growth was driven by the CB acquisition noted above and strong

organic growth in addition to $755 million in loans added through the KB

acquisition on May 31, 2021, the effect of which was only partially captured

in the prior year average balances due to the timing of the acquisition.

? The PPP loan portfolio decreased $340 million, or 90%, compared to June 30,

2021 as the result of anticipated forgiveness activity, driving a $5.8

million, or 83%, decline in PPP-related interest and fee income for the three

months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

? Negative provision for credit losses of $200,000 was recorded for the three

months ended June 30, 2022 compared to total expense of $4.1 million for the

same period of last year. The release of approximately $3.0 million of

specific reserves related to recently acquired loans was the main driver of

the negative provision recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2022,

which more than offset expense associated with a deteriorating unemployment

forecast and qualitative factor adjustments within the CECL model. Expense


    recorded for the prior year period was attributed to the loan portfolio
    acquired through the KB acquisition.

? Bancorp's ACL on loans to total loans was 1.36% at June 30, 2022 compared to

1.29% at December 31, 2021, the increase stemming from acquisition-related

activity within the ACL on loans.

? Deposit balances increased $1.29 billion, or 25%, compared to June 30, 2021,

as a result of assuming approximately $1.12 billion in deposits during the

first quarter in relation to the CB acquisition. The growth stemming from the

first quarter CB acquisition was partially offset during the second quarter as

a result of anticipated seasonal deposit runoff related mainly to public fund

deposits, customer tax payment activity and time deposit maturities.

? Total non-interest income increased $6.2 million, or 39%, for the three month

period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The second

quarter of 2022 benefitted from both significant contributions stemming from

acquisition-related activity and organic growth over the past twelve months.

All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over

the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking,

which was flat compared to the prior year period.

? Non-interest expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 7%, for the three months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, remaining controlled

and generally in line with expectations.

? Bancorp's efficiency ratio (FTE) for the three month period ended June 30,

2022 was 56.42%, while the ratio for the same period of the prior year was

83.86%, the latter reflecting one-time merger-related expenses attributed to

the KB acquisition. Excluding these non-recurring expenses and amortization of

investments in tax credit partnerships, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a

non-GAAP measure, would have been 56.31% and 51.95% for the three months ended

June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See the section titled "Non-GAAP
    Financial Measures" for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

General highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021:

? Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had approximately

$1.34 billion in assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment

securities and $1.12 billion in deposits. Given the timing of the acquisition,

the six months ended June 30, 2022 did not include a full six months of

activity associated with the CB acquisition. Further, $19.5 million in

one-time merger related expenses were recorded in the first quarter of 2022 in

addition to $4.4 million of credit loss expense associated with the acquired

loan portfolio.

? Bancorp also completed its acquisition of KB on May 31, 2021. At the time of

acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, KB had approximately

$1.27 billion in assets, $755 million in loans, $396 million in investment

securities and $1.04 billion in deposits at the time of acquisition last year.

Given the timing of the acquisition, the six months ended June 30, 2021 only

represented one month of activity associated with the KB acquisition and

included $18.5 million of one-time merger related expenses in addition to $7.4

million in credit loss expense associated with the acquired loan portfolio.

? Net income totaled $34.7 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $1.22 for the

six months ended June 30, 2022, an 8% increase over $1.13 for the same period

of 2021. Significant factors affecting the results for the six months ended

June 30, 2022 and 2021 include:

o The six months ended June 30, 2022 represented approximately four months of

activity related to the CB acquisition, including $19.5 million in one-time

merger related expenses and $4.4 million of credit loss expense related to the

acquired loan portfolio.

o The six months ended June 30, 2021 represented only one month of activity

related to the KB acquisition and included $18.5 million of one-time merger


    related expenses and $7.4 million in credit loss expense related to the
    acquired loan portfolio.

o Net interest income increased $26.3 million, or 33%, for the six months ended

June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, as both acquisition-related


    growth and organic growth in loans and investment securities overcame a
    substantial decline in PPP-related fee recognition.

o Total provision for credit loss expense was $2.1 million for the six months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to $2.7 million for the same period of last year.


    The expense recorded for both periods was driven by the respective
    acquisitions.

? NIM decreased 24 bps to 3.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared

to 3.38% for the same period in 2021. Recent interest rate actions from the

FRB have had a positive impact on net interest income and NIM, but the full

effects of rising rates were not realized during the six months ended June 30,

2022 due to the timing of the rate increases. Bancorp expects to realize

further benefits to net interest income and NIM from both the recent hikes and

anticipated future hikes.

? Total loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.01 billion, or 26%, compared to

June 30, 2021, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans during the

first quarter of 2022 in relation to the CB acquisition and strong organic

growth. Average loans (excluding PPP loans) increased $1.38 billion, or 44%,

for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Average balance growth was driven by the CB acquisition noted above and strong

organic growth in addition to $755 million in loans added through the KB

acquisition on May 31, 2021, the effect of which was only partially captured

in the prior year average balances due to the timing of the acquisition.

? The PPP loan portfolio decreased $340 million, or 90%, compared to June 30,

2021 as the result of forgiveness activity, driving a $10.0 million, or 71%,

decline in PPP-related interest and fee income for the six months ended June


    30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

? Total provision for credit loss expense was $2.1 million for the six months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to expense of $2.7 million for the same period of

last year. Provision expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven

largely by $4.4 million of expense related to the loan portfolio acquired

through the CB acquisition. In addition, the FRB's forecast of the Seasonally

Adjusted National Civilian Unemployment Rate, which is the primary loss driver

with Bancorp's CECL model, deteriorated during the second quarter,

presumptively the result of inflation and recession-based fears, resulting in

increased credit loss expense along with qualitative factor adjustments within

the CECL model. Partially offsetting this activity was the reduction of

approximately $3.0 million of specific reserves on individual loans related to

recently acquired individual loans that paid off during the second quarter.

Provision expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was driven

by $7.4 million of expense related to the loan portfolio acquired through the

KB acquisition, which was offset by the benefits associated with an improving

unemployment forecast, the primary loss driver within the CECL model.

? Bancorp's ACL on loans to total loans was 1.36% at June 30, 2022 compared to


    1.29% at December 31, 2021, the increase stemming mainly from
    acquisition-related activity within the ACL on loans.

? Deposit balances increased $1.29 billion, or 25%, compared to June 30, 2021,

as a result of assuming approximately $1.12 billion in deposits during the

first quarter in relation to the CB acquisition. The growth stemming from the

first quarter CB acquisition was partially offset during the second quarter as

a result of anticipated seasonal deposit runoff related mainly to public fund

deposits, customer tax payment activity and time deposit maturities.

? Total non-interest income increased $11.5 million, or 39%, for the six month

period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The first half

of 2022 benefitted from both significant contributions stemming from

acquisition-related activity and organic growth over the past twelve months.

All non-interest income revenue streams experienced significant increases over

the same quarter of the prior year, with the exception of mortgage banking,


    which experienced a significant decline as a result of slowing volumes
    compared to the re-finance rush that benefitted 2021.

? Non-interest expenses increased $27.8 million, or 38%, for the six months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. While both periods

experienced elevated non-interest expense as a result of one-time merger

related expenses, all non-interest expense categories, with the exception of

the FHLB early pre-payment penalty, experienced significant increases over the

prior year as a result of anticipated acquisition-related growth. The prior

year FHLB early pre-payment penalty, which totaled $474,000, was the result of

paying off $14 million of FHLB advances prior to maturity due to excess

liquidity held on the balance sheet and the near-term outlook for interest

rates at the time of payoff.

? Bancorp's efficiency ratio (FTE) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was

68.53% compared to 67.01% for the same period of 2021, the large fluctuation

being the result of one-time merger-related expenses incurred as a result of

the respective acquisitions in both periods. Excluding one-time merger costs

and expenses related to the amortization of tax credit partnerships, Bancorp's

non-GAAP efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 55.18%


    compared to 49.82% for the same period of 2021. See the section titled
    "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP
    measures.

Net Interest Income - Overview





As is the case with most banks, Bancorp's primary revenue sources are net
interest income and fee income from various financial services provided to
customers. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned
on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets less interest
expense on deposit accounts and other interest bearing liabilities. Loan volume
and interest rates earned on those loans are critical to overall profitability.
Similarly, deposit volume is crucial to funding loans and rates paid on deposits
directly impact profitability. New business volume is influenced by economic
factors including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence
and competitive conditions within the marketplace. The discussion that follows
is based on FTE interest data.



Comparative information regarding net interest income follows:

NIM and net interest spread calculations above exclude the sold portion of
certain participation loans, which totaled $5 million at both June 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021. These sold loans are on Bancorp's balance sheet as required
by GAAP because Bancorp retains some form of effective control; however, Bancorp
receives no interest income on the sold portion. These participation loans sold
are excluded from NIM and spread analysis, as Bancorp believes it provides a
more accurate depiction of loan portfolio performance.

Prime rate, the five year Treasury note rate and the one month LIBOR are
included in the table above to provide a general indication of the interest rate
environment in which Bancorp has operated during the past several
quarters. Approximately $1.47 billion, or 30%, of Bancorp's loans are variable
rate and are indexed to either Prime, LIBOR or SOFR, generally repricing as
those rates change. At inception, most of Bancorp's fixed rate loans are priced
in relation to the five year Treasury rate.



At June 30, 2022, Bancorp's loan portfolio consisted of approximately 70% fixed
and 30% variable rate loans, with the fixed rate portion pricing generally based
on a spread to the five year treasury curve at the time of origination and the
variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately
70%) or LIBOR/SOFR (approximately 30%).



On March 16, 2022, the FRB increased the FFTR to a range of 0.25%-0.50%, an
increase of 25 bps, which resulted in Prime increasing to 3.50%. The hike
represented the FRB's first interest rate action since it cut the FFTR 150 bps
in March of 2020 in response to the pandemic, which took Prime from 4.75% to
3.25%. Given the timing of the FRB's increase, the average interest rate
environment experienced for the first quarter of 2022 did not capture the full
benefit of the FRB's March rate increase.



Effective May 4, 2022, the FFTR was increased 50 bps to a range of 0.75%-1.00%,
taking Prime to 4.00%. This increase was followed by a 75 bps increase, taking
the FFTR to a range of 1.50%-1.75% and Prime to 4.75% effective June 16, 2022,
marking Prime's return to pre-pandemic levels. With 70% of the variable rate
loan portfolio tied to Prime and the majority of these loans having floor rates
of 4.00%, the FRB's most recent hike was of particular significance, as it moved
these loans off their floors and provided an immediate boost to the yields
earned on the variable rate loan portfolio. Given the timing of the most recent
FRB hike, the average interest rate environment experienced for the second
quarter of 2022 did not capture the full benefit of the FRB's most recent rate
action.



The current economic outlook suggests continued interest rate action from the
FRB and prospects of a rising rate environment. While Bancorp expects rising
rates to have a positive effect on NIM, pricing pressure/competition for both
loans and deposits, elevated levels of liquidity within the banking system in
general and the possibility of a flattening yield curve could continue to place
pressure on NIM.


Net Interest Income (FTE) - Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021





Net interest spread (FTE) and NIM were 3.14% and 3.20%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.29% and 3.36% for the same period in 2021,
respectively. NIM during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was significantly
impacted by the following:


? An interest rate environment that is evolving from the sustained,

pandemic-driven lows experienced over the last two years. The FFTR was lowered

to a range of 0% - 0.25% in March of 2020, which resulted in Prime dropping to

3.25%, where it remained until the FRB's hike in mid-March 2022. The FFTR

stood at a range of 1.50%-1.75%, and Prime at 4.75%, as of June 30, 2022 as a

result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB during the second


    quarter of 2022.


  ? Substantial balance sheet growth stemming from both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth, which resulted in total average earning asset

growth of $2.20 billion, or 44%, and average interest-bearing liability growth

of $1.55 billion, or 49%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to

the same period of 2021.

? Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed to NIM compression

in both periods. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has

also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment.

? PPP originations, which began in the second quarter of 2020 and continued

through expiration of the program on May 31, 2021, as well as the related

forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on these

loans and continues to impact NIM. The average balance of the PPP loan

portfolio decreased $463 million, and related income decreased $5.8 million,

for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

The PPP portfolio contributed a 4 bps benefit to NIM for the three months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to a 20 bps benefit for the three months ended

June 30, 2021.




Net interest income (FTE) increased $15.6 million, or 37%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely as a result of
acquisition-related activity, but also driven in part by strong organic loan
growth, substantial investment in the investment securities portfolio and the
benefits of a rising interest rate environment.

Table of Contents





Total average interest earning assets increased $2.20 billion, or 44%, to $7.17
billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period
of 2021, with the average rate earned on total interest earning assets
contracting 16 bps to 3.32%.



? Average total loan balances increased $1.00 billion, or 26%, for the three

months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Average

non-PPP loan growth of $1.46 billion, or 44%, was driven by

acquisition-related expansion and strong organic growth, which was partially

offset by a $463 million, or 91%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as


    forgiveness activity increased.



? Average investment securities grew $948 million for the three months ended

June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, which was attributed to a


    combination of strategically deploying excess liquidity through further
    investment and acquisition-related activity.




  ? Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased $247
    million, or 79%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to excess
    balance sheet liquidity.



Total interest income (FTE) increased $16.2 million, or 37%, to $59.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of 2021.

? Interest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $10.6 million, or 26%, to

$50.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same

period of 2021, driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in the

non-PPP portfolio, which more than offset a $5.8 million, or 83%, decline in

PPP-related income. While the yield on the overall loan portfolio increased a

marginal 1 bp to 4.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to

4.19% for the same period of the prior year, the yield on the non-PPP

portfolio increased 15 bps compared to the prior year period, driven by the


    rising rate environment.



? Significant growth in average investment securities led to a $4.5 million

increase in interest income (FTE) on the portfolio for the three months ended

June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driving a 27 bps, or 19%,

increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. Substantial deployment

of excess liquidity benefitted the investment portfolio, as the yields earned

on recent purchases have improved dramatically in tandem with rising rates.

? Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased

$1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of average

balance growth stemming from excess balance sheet liquidity and rising

short-term interest rates. While the yield on these assets increased 69 bps to

0.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of

2021, having a larger portion of the balance sheet concentrated in

lower-yielding assets created a larger drag on overall NIM for the second


    quarter of 2022 compared to the prior period.




Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.55 billion, or 49%, to
$4.69 billion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared with the
same period in 2021, with the total average cost declining 1 bp to 0.18%.



? Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.46 billion, or 48%, for the

three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, with

interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for $774 million, or 53%, of the

increase. The significant growth was attributed to both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth stemming from the general trend of customers


    maintaining higher levels of liquidity over the past several quarters.



? Consistent with the average interest bearing deposit growth noted above,

average SSUAR balances increased $85 million, for the three months ended June


    30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.



? Average FHLB advances decreased $19 million for the three months ended June

30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, as all outstanding


    FHLB advances either matured or were paid off in 2021.



? Subordinated debentures totaling $26 million were added as a result of the CB


    acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.

Table of Contents





Total interest expense increased $606,000, or 40%, for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, a direct result of
acquisition-related average deposit balance growth and assumed debt. Despite
this growth, the percentage cost of interest bearing liabilities has remained
relatively low, driven by the maturity/renewal of higher-costing time deposits
at lower rates and the benefit of all FHLB advances either maturing or paying
off in 2021.


? While total interest bearing deposit expense increased $335,000, or 23%, as a

result of acquisition-related activity, Bancorp experienced a 3 bps decrease

in the cost of interest bearing deposits. Bancorp has experienced significant

benefit from longstanding low levels of deposit rates. While low-level deposit

rates have benefited interest bearing deposit costs for several quarters,

Bancorp expects pricing pressure/competition stemming from the rising rate

environment to drive deposit rate/cost increases during the second half of


    2022.



? Interest expense totaling $278,000 was recorded for the three months ended

June 30, 2022, as a result of the subordinated debentures added through the CB


    acquisition, approximately $100,000 of which stems from purchase
    accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.



? No interest expense on FHLB advances was recorded for the three months ended

June 30, 2022, as all FHLB advances either matured or paid off in 2021,

resulting in a decline of $74,000 compared to the same period of the prior


    year.





Net Interest Income (FTE) - Six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021





Net interest spread (FTE) and NIM were 3.09% and 3.14%, for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to 3.30% and 3.38% for the same period in 2021,
respectively. NIM during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was significantly
impacted by the following:


? An interest rate environment that is evolving from the sustained,

pandemic-driven lows experienced over the last two years. The FFTR was lowered

to a range of 0% - 0.25% in March of 2020, which resulted in Prime dropping to

3.25%, where it remained until the FRB's hike in mid-March 2022. The FFTR

stood at a range of 1.50%-1.75%, and Prime at 4.75%, as of June 30, 2022 as a

result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB during the second


    quarter of 2022.


  ? Substantial balance sheet growth stemming from both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth, which resulted in total average earning asset

growth of $2.06 billion, or 43%, and average interest-bearing liability growth

of $1.45 billion, or 48%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to

the same period of 2021.

? Overall excess balance sheet liquidity, which contributed to NIM compression

in both periods. Excess liquidity within the banking system in general has

also led to a highly competitive loan rate environment.

? PPP originations, which began in the second quarter of 2020 and continued

through expiration of the program on May 31, 2021, as well as the related

forgiveness activity, which accelerates the recognition of fee income on these

loans and continues to impact NIM. The average balance of the PPP loan

portfolio decreased $489 million, and related income decreased $10.0 million,

for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

The PPP portfolio contributed a 8 bps benefit to NIM for the three months

ended June 30, 2022 compared to a 22 bps benefit for the six months ended June


    30, 2021.




Net interest income (FTE) increased $26.7 million, or 34%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, largely as a result of
acquisition-related activity, but also driven in part by strong organic loan
growth, substantial investment in the investment securities portfolio and the
benefits of a rising interest rate environment.

contracting 27 bps to 3.24%.



? Average total loan balances increased $ 887 million, or 24%, for the six

months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Average

non-PPP loan growth of $1.38 billion, or 44%, was driven by

acquisition-related expansion and strong organic growth, which was partially

offset by a $489 million, or 86%, decline in average PPP loan balances, as

forgiveness activity increased. While the yield on the overall loan portfolio

was unchanged at 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,

respectively, the yield on the non-PPP portfolio increased 4 bps compared to


    the prior year period, driven by the rising rate environment.



? Average investment securities grew $833 million for the six months ended June

30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, attributed to a combination of


    strategically deploying excess liquidity through further investment and
    acquisition-related activity.



? Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased $341 million

for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to on-going excess balance sheet


    liquidity.

? Interest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $18.4 million, or 24%, to

$95.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same

period of 2021, driven by both organic and acquisition-related growth in the

non-PPP portfolio, which more than offset a $10.0 million, or 71%, decline in

PPP-related income. The yield on the overall loan portfolio was flat at 4.18%


    for the six months ended both June 30, 2022 and 2021.



? Significant growth in average investment securities led to a $7.1 million

increase interest income (FTE) on the portfolio for the six months ended June

30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, driving a 16 bps, or 11%,

increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. Substantial deployment

of excess liquidity benefitted the investment portfolio as the yields earned

on recent purchases have improved dramatically in tandem with rising rates.

? Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances increased

$1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of average

balance growth stemming from excess balance sheet liquidity and rising short

term interest rates. While the yield on these assets increased 35 bps to 0.46%

for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021,

having a larger portion of the balance sheet concentrated in lower-yielding

assets created a larger drag on overall NIM for the six months ended June 30,


    2022 compared to the prior period.




Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.45 billion, or 48%, to
$4.48 billion for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared with the

interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for $771 million, or 54%, of the

increase. The significant growth was attributed to both acquisition-related

activity and organic growth stemming from the general trend of customers


    maintaining higher levels of liquidity over the past several quarters.



? Consistent with the average interest bearing deposit growth noted above,

average SSUAR balances increased $64 million, for the six months ended June


    30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.



? Average FHLB advances decreased $24 million for the six months ended June 30,

2022 compared to the same period of the prior year, as all outstanding FHLB


    advances either matured or were paid off in 2021.



? Subordinated debentures totaling $26 million were added as a result of the CB


    acquisition during the first quarter of 2022, the corresponding average
    balance for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaling $17 million.

Total interest expense increased $137,000, or 4%, for the six months ended June
30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, a direct result of
acquisition-related average deposit balance growth and assumed debt. Despite
this growth, the percentage cost of interest bearing liabilities has remained
relatively low, driven by the maturity/renewal of higher-costing time deposits
at lower rates and the benefit of all FHLB advances either maturing or paying
off in 2021.


? Despite significant average interest bearing deposit growth, interest expense

on deposits was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the

same period of 2021. The reduction of time deposit expense stemming from the

maturity/renewal of higher-costing time deposits at lower rates offset the

expense associated with adding $1.40 billion of average interest bearing

deposits. Bancorp has experienced significant benefit from longstanding low

levels of deposit rates. While low-level deposit rates have benefited interest


    bearing deposit costs for several quarters, Bancorp expects pricing
    pressure/competition stemming from the rising rate environment to drive
    deposit rate/cost increases during the second half of 2022.



? Interest expense totaling $311,000 was recorded for the six months ended June

30, 2022 as a result of the subordinated debentures assumed through the CB


    acquisition, approximately $132,000 of which stems from purchase
    accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.



? No interest expense on FHLB advances was recorded for the six months ended

June 30, 2022, as all FHLB advances either matured or paid off in 2021,

resulting in a decline of $250,000 compared to the same period of the prior


    year.

Supplemental Information - Average Balance Sheets and Interest Rates (FTE)

? Average loan balances include the principal balance of non-accrual loans, as

well as unearned income such as loan premiums, discounts, fees/costs and

exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings. Participation

loans averaged $5 million for both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022

and 2021 and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

? Interest income on a FTE basis includes additional amounts of interest income

that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest

earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the

same after-tax income. Interest income on municipal securities and tax-exempt

loans has been calculated on a FTE basis using a federal income tax rate of

21%. Approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were $260,000

and $77,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,

respectively, and $445,000 and $126,000 for the six-month periods ended June


    30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.



? Interest income includes loan fees of $2.9 million ($1.2 million associated

with the PPP) and $6.2 million ($5.6 million associated with the PPP) for the

three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $6.7

million ($4.0 million associated with the PPP) and $12.2 million ($11.1

million associated with the PPP) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022

and 2021. Interest income on loans may be impacted by the level of prepayment


    fees collected and accretion related to purchased loans.



? Net interest income, the most significant component of Bancorp's earnings,

represents total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net

interest income is determined by mix and volume of interest earning assets,

interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and changes in interest rates.

? NIM represents net interest income on a FTE basis as a percentage of total


    average interest earning assets.



? Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference between taxable equivalent rates

earned on total interest earning assets less the cost of interest bearing


    liabilities.



? The fair market value adjustment on investment securities resulting from ASC

320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities" is included as a component of


    other assets.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk





Managing interest rate risk is fundamental for the financial services industry.
The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to neutralize effects
of interest rate changes on net income. By considering both on and off-balance
sheet financial instruments, management evaluates interest rate sensitivity with
the goal of optimizing net interest income within the constraints of prudent
capital adequacy, liquidity needs, market opportunities and customer
requirements.



Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis





Bancorp uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of
an immediate change in interest rates on earnings in a one-year forecast. The
simulation model is designed to reflect dynamics of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities. By estimating effects of interest rate
fluctuations, the model can approximate interest rate risk exposure. This
simulation model is used by management to gauge approximate results given a
specific change in interest rates at a given point in time. The model is
therefore a tool to indicate earnings trends in given interest rate scenarios
and may not indicate actual or expected results.



The results of the interest rate sensitivity analysis performed as of June 30,
2022 are driven by the long-term, conservative assumptions Bancorp uses in the
model, particularly in relation to deposit betas, which measure how responsive
management's deposit repricing may be to changes in market rates and are based
on historical data. The results presented below reflect an interest rate
sensitivity analysis that incorporates a deposit beta of approximately 60%.
However, given the historic levels of liquidity currently held by Bancorp and in
the banking system generally, the Company anticipates actual deposit betas will
remain well below long-term averages through 2022. The anticipated lower deposit
beta would result in the Company's interest rate sensitivity position turning
slightly asset sensitive.



Bancorp's interest rate simulation sensitivity analysis details that increases
in interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 bps would have a negative effect on net
interest income, respectively, while a 100 bps decrease in interest rates would
also have negative effect on net interest income. These results depict a
relatively neutral interest rate risk profile. However, the simulation performed
as of June 30, 2022 suggests improvement in rising rate scenarios as compared to
the prior quarter simulation performed as of March 31, 2022, which stems from
the recent interest rate actions taken by the FRB. These rate hikes resulted in
Prime rising to 4.75% as of June 30, 2022, which in turn elevated a significant
portion of the variable rate loan portfolio off their floor rates of 4.00%.
Bancorp expects to realize further benefits to net interest income and NIM from
both the recent hikes and anticipated future hikes in the quarters ahead.



The decrease in net interest income in the rising rate scenarios is primarily
due to variable rate loans and short-term investments repricing slower than
deposits and short-term borrowings. Asset balances subject to immediate
repricing cause an estimated decline in net interest income in the down 100 bps
scenario, as rates on non-maturity deposits cannot be lowered sufficiently to
offset declining interest income. These estimates are summarized below.



                                                                     Change in Rates

Bancorp's loan portfolio is currently composed of approximately 70% fixed and
30% variable rate loans, with the fixed rate portion pricing generally based on
a spread to the five-year treasury curve at the time of origination and the
variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately
70%) or one month LIBOR/SOFR (approximately 30%).



In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the authority
regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that
LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. Subsequent to that
announcement, in November 2020, the FCA announced that many tenors of LIBOR
would continue to be published through June 2023. Subsequent to this, Bank
regulators instructed banks to discontinue new originations referencing LIBOR as
soon as possible, but no later than December 2021. Effective December 31, 2021,
Libor is no longer used to issue new loans in the U.S. It is expected to be
replaced primarily by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which many
experts consider a more accurate and more secure pricing benchmark. To
facilitate the transition process, management has instituted an enterprise-wide
program to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the expected
discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR.

On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act was signed into law
as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. This legislation
established a uniform benchmark replacement process for financial contracts that
mature after the cessation of LIBOR (scheduled for June 2023) that do not
contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The legislation also
established a safe harbor for lenders, providing protection from litigation
associated with choosing a replacement rate recommended by the FRB, such as
SOFR, and also allows for the continued use of any appropriate benchmark rate
for new contracts.



As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $443 million in loans and
$141 million (notional amount) in interest rate derivative contracts that
reference LIBOR. Each of the LIBOR-referenced amounts discussed above will vary
in future periods as current contracts expire with potential replacement
contracts using either LIBOR or an alternative reference rate. The Company, and
other industry participants, continue to review alternative reference rates that
could be utilized as a replacement for LIBOR. The Company had $49 million in
loans that were indexed to SOFR at June 30, 2022.



Periodically, Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers
who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time
entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching
terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated
derivative instruments and are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value,
with changes in fair value recorded in other non-interest income as interest
rates fluctuate. Because of matching terms of offsetting contracts, in addition
to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk,
changes in fair value subsequent to initial recognition have a minimal effect on
earnings, and are therefore not included in the simulation analysis results
above. For additional information, see the Footnote titled "Assets and
Liabilities Measured and Reported at Fair Value."



In addition, Bancorp uses derivative financial instruments as part of its
interest rate risk management, including interest rate swaps. These interest
rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges as described in the Footnote
titled "Derivative Financial Instruments." For these derivatives, the effective
portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of AOCI, and is
subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in
periods in which the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. As of June
30, 2022, Bancorp had no outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow
hedges.

Provision for Credit Losses



Provision for credit losses on loans at June 30, 2022 represents the amount of
expense that, based on Management's judgment, is required to maintain the ACL
for loans at an appropriate level under the CECL model. The determination of the
amount of the ACL for loans is complex and involves a high degree of judgment
and subjectivity. See the Footnote titled "Basis of Presentation and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" for detailed discussion regarding Bancorp's ACL
methodology by loan segment in this document and Bancorp's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.



An analysis of the changes in the ACL for loans, including provision, and

(1) Ratios are not annualized (2) See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconcilement of Non-GAAP to GAAP measures






The ACL for loans totaled $66 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $54
million at December 31, 2021, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.36%
and 1.29% for those periods, respectively. The ACL to loans (excluding PPP
loans) was 1.37% at June 30, 2022 compared to 1.34% at December 31, 2021. Based
on the 100% SBA guarantee of the PPP loan portfolio, which totaled $37 million
at June 30, 2022 and $141 million at December 31, 2021, Bancorp did not reserve
for potential losses for these loans within the ACL. See the section titled
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.



Negative provision (excluding acquisition-related activity) of $700,000 and $2.5
million was recorded to provision for credit losses on loans expense for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. While improvement
in the unemployment forecast has helped drive reductions of the ACL for loans in
recent quarters, the FRB's forecast of the Seasonally Adjusted National Civilian
Unemployment Rate, which is the primary loss driver with Bancorp's CECL model,
deteriorated during the second quarter, presumptively the result of inflation
and recession-based fears. This development, along with qualitative factor
updates related to the potential impact of rising rates on the C&I portfolio,
resulted in increased expense within the CECL model. However, the negative
impact of the economic forecast update was more than offset by the release of
approximately $3.0 million in specific reserves within the ACL for individual
loans related to recently acquired individual loans that ultimately paid off
during the second quarter with no loss or charge-off realized by Bancorp,
driving the negative provision recorded for the three and six month periods
ending June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents





While net charge off activity minimal for the three month period ended June 30,
2022, net recovery activity of $535,000 was recorded for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, driven by a $711,000 recovery of a C&I relationship during the
first quarter that was fully charged off in the prior year, serving to increase
the ACL on loans.



More than offsetting the negative provision for the for the six month period
ended June 30, 2022 was credit loss expense recorded for the loan portfolio
acquired from CB, which totaled $4.4 million and was recorded entirely in the
first quarter of 2022 upon closing of the CB acquisition. Further, the ACL for
loans was also increased $10 million as a result of the PCD loan portfolio added
through the CB acquisition during the first quarter, with the corresponding
offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).



Expense of $4.7 million and $3.5 million was recorded to provision for credit
losses on loans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021,
respectively. Expense in both periods was driven by recording $7.4 million of
credit loss expense on loans recorded during the second quarter as a result of
the KB acquisition, which more than offset the benefits associated with
improving unemployment forecasts during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2021.



While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also
experienced an increase between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022. The CB
acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet
credit exposures during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).
Provision for credit loss expense of $100,000 was also recorded for the six
month period ended June 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new lines of
credit, and thus increased availability, within the C&D portfolio. The ACL for
off balance sheet credit exposures ended at $4.1 million as of June 30, 2022
compared to $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021.



Bancorp's loan portfolio is well-diversified with no significant concentrations
of credit. Geographically, most loans are extended to borrowers in Louisville,
central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and
Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan markets. The adequacy of the ACL is monitored on
an ongoing basis and it is the opinion of management that the balance of the ACL
at June 30, 2022 is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan
portfolio as of the financial statement date.

WM&T Services:



The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks
of similar asset size. WM&T revenue increased $2.6 million, or 38%, and $4.6
million, or 35%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, as
compared with the same periods of 2021. Significant growth in asset-based income
drove the increases for both periods, consistent with both acquisition-related
activity and organic new business development, which served to offset market
declines experienced during the first half of 2022.



Recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market
value of AUM and are typically assessed on a monthly basis. Recurring fees,
which generally comprise the vast majority of WM&T revenue, increased $2.7
million, or 40%, and $4.7 million, or 37%, for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021. The increase was
driven by both acquisition-related activity and organic new business
development.



A portion of WM&T revenue, most notably executor and certain employee benefit
plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues
corresponds with the related administrative activities. For this reason, such
fees are subject to greater period over period fluctuation. Total non-recurring
fees decreased $43,000 and $66,000 for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, which was driven by
lower estate fee income earned.



AUM, stated at market value, totaled $6.56 billion at June 30, 2022 compared
with $4.44 billion at June 30, 2021 and $4.80 billion at December 31, 2021. The
large increase in AUM between June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 is attributed
mainly to AUM of $2.65 billion added through the CB acquisition, as well as net
new business growth and stock market appreciation over the past twelve months.



Contracts between WM&T and their customers do not permit performance-based fees
and accordingly, none of the WM&T revenue is performance based. Management
believes the WM&T department will continue to factor significantly in Bancorp's
financial results and provide strategic diversity to revenue streams.

The preceding table demonstrates that WM&T fee revenue is concentrated within
investment advisory and personal trust accounts. WM&T fees are predominantly
based on AUM and tailored for individual/company accounts and/or relationships
with fee structures customized based on account type and other factors with
larger relationships paying a lower percentage of AUM in fees. For example,
recurring AUM fee structures are in place for investment management, irrevocable
trusts, revocable trusts, personal investment retirement accounts and accounts
holding only fixed income securities. Company retirement plan services can
consist of a one-time conversion fee with recurring AUM fees to follow. While
there are also fee structures for estate settlements, income received is often
non-recurring in nature. Fee structures are agreed upon at the time of account
opening and any subsequent revisions are communicated in writing to the
customer. Fees earned are not performance-based nor are they based on investment
strategy or transactions.

and consist of approximately 63% in equities and 37% in fixed income securities
as of June 30, 2022 compared to 68% and 32% as of December 31, 2021. This
composition has been relatively consistent from period to period and the WM&T
Department holds no proprietary mutual funds.

Additional Sources of Non-interest income:





Deposit service charges, which consist of non-sufficient funds charges and to a
lesser extent, other activity based charges, increased $828,000, or 67%, and
$1.7 million, or 80%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022,
as compared with the same periods of 2021, mainly as a result of the
contribution associated with acquisition-related activity over the past twelve
months. Outside of acquisition-related growth, an industry-wide decline in the
volume of fees earned on overdrawn checking accounts has been experienced over
the past several years. This trend has been driven by lower check presentment
volume and more recently, elevated deposit levels maintained by customers, which
has in turn led to fewer overdrawn accounts in general. Further, Bancorp
anticipates that future growth of this revenue stream could be significantly
impacted by changing industry practices, as many larger financial institutions
have opted to greatly reduce, or completely eliminate, certain deposit service
charges, particularly overdraft-related fees. Bancorp could be faced with
strategic decisions surrounding deposit-related service charges in the future,
which could negatively impact the contributions made by this, or similar,
revenue streams.



Debit and credit card income consists of interchange revenue, ancillary fees and
incentives received from card processors. Debit and credit card revenue
increased $1.5 million, or 45%, and $3.3 million, or 60%, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, as
a result of increased transaction volume and continued expansion of the customer
bases, both organically and through acquisition-related activity. Total debit
card income increased $968,000, or 41%, and $2.4 million, or 60%, and total
credit card income increased $496,000, or 54%, and $955,000, or 58%, for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared the same periods of
the prior year. Bancorp expects this revenue stream will continue to grow with
the expansion of the customer base and further development of the debit and
credit card businesses.



Treasury management fees primarily consist of fees earned for cash management
services provided to commercial customers. This category continues to stand out
as a consistent, growing source of revenue for Bancorp and increased $457,000,
or 26%, and $821,000, or 25%, for the three and six month periods ending June
30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven by increased
transaction volume, new product sales and customer base expansion. Both organic
and acquisition-related sales efforts have led to increases in online services,
reporting, ACH origination, remote deposit and fraud mitigation services over
the past twelve months. Bancorp anticipates this income category will continue
to increase based on continued customer base growth and the expanding suite of
services offered within Bancorp's treasury management platform.



Mortgage banking income primarily includes gains on sales of mortgage loans and
net loan servicing income offset by MSR amortization. Bancorp's mortgage banking
department predominantly originates residential mortgage loans to be sold in the
secondary market, primarily to FNMA and FHLMC. Bancorp offers conventional, VA,
FHA and GNMA financing for purchases and refinances, as well as programs for
first-time homebuyers. Interest rates on mortgage loans directly influence the
volume of business transacted by the mortgage-banking department. Mortgage
banking revenue decreased $8,000, or 1%, and $449,000, or 16%, for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of
2021. Overall volume has declined in 2022 compared to the prior year as a result
of rising interest rates and low housing inventory. While this has in turn led
to the three and six month period declines noted above, mortgage banking income
has benefitted from the addition of a mortgage loan servicing portfolio that
services approximately $1.48 billion in mortgage loans as a result of the CB
acquisition.



Net investment product sales commissions and fees are generated primarily on
stock, bond and mutual fund sales, as well as quarterly wrap fees on brokerage
accounts. Wrap fees represent charges for investment programs that bundle
together a suite of services, such as brokerage, advisory, research and
management and are based on a percentage of account assets. Bancorp deploys its
financial advisors primarily through its branch network via an arrangement with
a third party broker-dealer, while larger managed accounts are serviced by
Bancorp's WM&T Department. Net investment product sales commissions and fees
increased $186,000, or 34%, and $329,000, or 33%, for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven
by acquisition-related growth, which included the addition of three financial
advisors, and increased trading activity.



BOLI assets represent the cash surrender value of life insurance policies on
certain active and non-active employees who have provided consent for Bancorp to
be the beneficiary for a portion of such policies. The related change in cash
surrender value and any death benefits received under the policies are recorded
as non-interest income. This income serves to offset the cost of various
employee benefits. BOLI income increased $64,000, or 31%, and $169,000, or 46%,
for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2022 compared to the same
periods of the prior year, which was attributed mainly to the contribution of
the BOLI portfolio added as a result of the KB acquisition in May of 2021.

Other non-interest income increased $524,000, or 83%, and $952,000, or 68%, for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 compared with the same
periods of 2021. The increases were driven largely by the contribution from LFA,
a financial advising firm added through the CB acquisition, the insurance
captive acquired through the KB acquisition in May of 2021 and an increase in
other miscellaneous fee income.

Total non-interest expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 7%, and increased $27.8
million, or 38%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same periods of 2021, the variances stemming largely from the
timing of the CB and KB acquisitions. Compensation and employee benefits
comprised 59.6% and 48.7% of Bancorp's total non-interest expenses for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to 39.5% and 48.0% for the
same periods of 2021. Excluding merger expenses, compensation and employee
benefits comprised 59.6% and 60.3% for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2022, compared to 63.3% and 64.3% for the same periods of 2021.



Compensation, which includes salaries, incentives, bonuses and stock based
compensation, increased $6.5 million, or 42%, and $11.7 million, or 41%, for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same
periods of 2021. The increases were attributed largely to growth in full time
equivalent employees, as well as annual merit-based salary increases. Net full
time equivalent employees totaled 1,018 at June 30, 2022 compared to 820 at
December 31, 2021 and 823 at June 30, 2021. The acquisitions of KB in May of
2021 and CB in the first quarter of 2022 resulted in the addition of 372 full
time equivalent employees and the correlating increase in compensation expense.



Employee benefits consists of all personnel-related expense not included in
compensation, with the most significant items being health insurance, payroll
taxes and employee retirement plan contributions. Employee benefits increased
$1.1 million, or 32% and $2.3 million, or 35%, for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven
primarily by the overall increase in full time equivalent employees noted above.

Net occupancy and equipment expenses primarily include depreciation, rent,
property taxes, utilities and maintenance. Costs of capital asset additions flow
through the statement of income over the lives of the assets in the form of
depreciation expense. Net occupancy expense increased $1.4 million, or 63%, and
$2.4 million, or 56%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022,
as compared with the same periods of 2021, driven by the two acquisitions
completed over the past twelve months. In connection with the CB acquisition, 15
branches were acquired, four of which were closed shortly after acquisition in
addition to one existing SYB location, as a result of branch overlap. Further,
two operational buildings were also acquired and are currently listed for sale.
The KB acquisition in May of 2021 resulted in the addition of 19 branch
locations in addition to operational buildings. At June 30, 2022, Bancorp's
branch network consists of 73 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern
and Northern Kentucky, as well as the MSAs of Indianapolis, Indiana and
Cincinnati, Ohio.



Technology and communication expenses include computer software amortization,
equipment depreciation and expenditures related to investments in technology
needed to maintain and improve the quality of customer delivery channels,
information security and internal resources. Technology expense increased $1.3
million, or 49%, and $2.4 million, or 48%, for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021, consistent with
acquisition-related activity, customer expansion and core system upgrades.



Bancorp outsources processing for debit and commercial credit card operations,
which generate significant revenue for the Company. These expenses fluctuate
consistent with transaction volumes. Debit and credit card processing expense
increased $689,000, or 71%, and $1.3 million, or 79%, for the three and six
month periods ending June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of last year,
correlating in part with the increase in transaction volume and customer base
expansion resulting from both organic and acquisition-related growth that served
to increase debit and credit card non-interest income.



Marketing and business development expenses include all costs associated with
promoting Bancorp including community support, retaining customers and acquiring
new business. Marketing and business development expenses increased $623,000, or
76%, and $871,000, or 65%, for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
2022, as compared to the same periods of 2021. The increases correspond with
strategic decisions to advertise and promote in Bancorp's new markets, as well
as the general expansion of Bancorp's existing and prospective customer base and
a post-pandemic return to in-person client meeting/entertainment.



Postage, printing and supplies expense increased $365,000, or 79%, and $689,000,
or 79%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 compared to the
same periods of 2021, consistent with increased customer communication and
Bancorp's expansion tied to acquisition-related activity over the past twelve
months.



Legal and professional fees increased $361,000, or 54%, and $549,000, or 49%,
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same
periods of last year, the increase being attributed to various consulting
engagements, collection-related expenses and litigation costs arising through
the normal course of business. Legal and professional fees associated with
merger-related activity are captured in merger expenses.



FDIC insurance increased $187,000, or 54%, and $427,000, or 57%, for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods of
2021, consistent with organic and acquisition-related balance sheet growth for
which the insurance is assessed on.



Tax credit partnerships generate federal income tax credits, and for each of
Bancorp's investments in tax credit partnerships, the tax benefit, net of
related expenses, results in a positive effect on net income. Amounts of credits
and corresponding expenses can vary widely depending upon the timing and
magnitude of the underlying investments. Amortization expense associated with
these investments decreased $142,000 and $85,000 for the three and six month
periods ending June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of last year.



Capital and deposit based taxes, which consist primarily of capital-based local
income taxes and franchise taxes, increased $55,000, or 10%, and $115,000, or
12%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 compared to the
same periods of 2021, attributed to both organic and acquisition-related growth.



Merger expenses represent non-recurring expenses associated with completion of
the CB acquisition and consist primarily of investment banker fees, various
compensation-related expenses, legal fees, early termination fees relating to
various contracts and system conversion expenses. Merger expenses totaled $0 and
$19.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared
to $18.1 million and $18.5 million for the same periods of 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, an early termination fee of
$474,000 was recorded in relation to the pre-payment of FHLB advances totaling
$14 million prior to their respective contractual maturities. Bancorp chose to
payoff these term advances, with a weighted average cost of 2.03%, due to excess
liquidity held on the balance sheet and the near-term outlook for low interest
rates at the time of payoff. No such activity was recorded during the first half
of 2022. Bancorp currently has no FHLB advances outstanding.



Intangible amortization expense consists of amortization associated with the CDI
of acquired deposit portfolios, as well as other intangibles related to customer
lists of the WM&T and LFA business lines added through the CB acquisition. The
intangibles amortized through this category of non-interest expense are
generally amortized over a period of approximately ten years. Intangible
amortization for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 totaled
$1.6 million and $2.3 million compared to $127,000 and $204,000 for the same
periods of the prior year, the significant increase stemming from the CB
acquisition.



Other non-interest expenses increased $1.1 million and $2.5 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods
of 2021. The most notable drivers of the increases were expenses associated with
the addition of the insurance captive as a result of the KB acquisition in May
of 2021, increased card reward expense correlating with growth in the debit and
credit card business lines, higher fraud-related expenses and other ancillary
expenses tied to Bancorp's general growth over the past twelve months.



Bancorp's efficiency ratio (FTE) for the three month period ended June 30, 2022
was 56.42%, while the ratio for the corresponding six month period was 68.53%,
the latter reflecting one-time merger-related expenses attributed to the CB
acquisition, which were all recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding
these non-recurring expenses and amortization of investments in tax credit
partnerships, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, would have been
56.31% and 55.18% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022. By
comparison, Bancorp's efficiency ratio for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2021 was 83.86% and 67.01%. Bancorp's adjusted efficiency ratio for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 51.95% and 49.82%. See the section
titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP
measures.

Fluctuations in the ETR are primarily attributed to the following:

? Changes in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies can vary widely

from period to period, driven largely by changes in the markets. The related

impact is inversely correlated with the ETR generally, with cash surrender

value declines typically serving to increase the ETR and vice versa. Changes

in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies increased the ETR 1.1%

for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a 1.1% decrease for the

same period of the prior year.

? The stock based compensation component of the ETR fluctuates consistent with

the level of SAR exercise activity. The ETR was reduced 2.4% for the six month

period ended June 30, 2022 compared to a reduction of 3.2% for the same period

of 2021, as a result of increased levels of exercise activity.

? Tax-exempt interest income earned on loans and investment securities reduced

the ETR 0.8% for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to a

reduction of 0.3% for the same period of the prior year, the larger reduction

in the current year being attributed to tax-exempt loans and securities added


    through acquisitions over the past twelve months.

  ? As a result of the KB acquisition in May of 2021, Bancorp acquired an

insurance captive. The Captive provides insurance against certain risks for

which insurance may not currently be available or economically feasible to

Bancorp and SYB, as well as a group of third-party insurance captives. The tax

advantages of the Captive, including the tax-deductible nature of premiums

paid to the Captive as well as the tax-exemption for premiums received by the

Captive, serve to reduce income tax expense. Related activity reduced the ETR

0.4% for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to reduction of

0.1% for the same period of 2021.

? Non-deductible merger expenses recorded during the six month period ended June

30, 2022 served to increase the ETR 0.3%, compared to an increase of 0.9% for


    the same period of 2021.





Financial Condition - June 30, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021






Overview



Total assets increased $937 million, or 14%, to $7.58 billion at June 30, 2022
from $6.65 billion at December 31, 2021. Total assets of $1.34 billion were
added on March 7, 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition, including loans of
$632 million (net of purchase accounting adjustments) and total investment
securities of $247 million. In addition, goodwill of $67 million was recorded in
relation to the transaction. Total loans (excluding loans added through the CB
acquisition and the PPP portfolio) grew $182 million, or 5%, between December
31, 2021 and June 30, 2022.



Total liabilities increased $863 million, or 15%, to $6.83 billion at June 30,
2022 from $5.97 billion at December 31, 2021. Total liabilities of $1.24 billion
were assumed on March 7, 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition, including total
deposits of $1.12 billion. Further, SSUAR totaling $66 million and subordinated
debentures of $26 million were also assumed as a result of the CB acquisition.



Stockholders' equity increased $71 million, or 11%, to $747 million at June 30,
2022 from $676 million at December 31, 2021. Stock issued in relation to the CB
acquisition, which totaled $134 million, and net income of $34.7 million were
offset by a $79 million negative change in AOCI and dividends declared during
the first six months of 2022. The large decline in AOCI from December 31, 2021
to June 30, 2022 was the result of the rising interest rate environment and its
corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents declined $387 million, or 40%, ending at $574 million
at June 30, 2022 compared to $961 million at December 31, 2021. The decline
stemmed largely from anticipated seasonal deposit run-off associated with public
fund balances and customer tax payment activity. The average balance of cash and
cash equivalents increased $380 million over the past twelve months, as Bancorp
has maintained elevated levels of liquidity stemming from the PPP and deposit
growth associated with both acquisition-related activity and the customer base
maintaining higher deposit balances in general for the past several quarters.



Investment Securities



Investment securities increased $445 million, or 38%, to $1.63 billion at June
30, 2022 compared to $1.18 billion at December 31, 2021. In addition to
securities totaling $247 million being added as a result of the CB acquisition,
Bancorp continued to actively invest in the securities portfolio during the
first half of 2022 in an effort to deploy excess liquidity by purchasing $545
million of debt securities during six months ended June 30, 2022. Partially
offsetting growth associated with purchasing and acquisition-related activity
was scheduled maturity/amortization and prepayment activity, as well as market
depreciation of approximately $105 million stemming from an upward move in the
interest rate environment experienced through the during the first half of 2022.

Premises and Equipment



Premises and equipment are presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of
related depreciation on the respective assets as well as fair value adjustments
associated with purchase accounting. Premises and equipment increased $43
million, or 55%, between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, driven by the CB
acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, 15 branches were acquired, four of
which were closed shortly acquisition as a result of overlapping with existing
locations of the Bank. In addition, two operational buildings were also acquired
through CB and are currently listed for sale. Bancorp's branch network now
consists of 73 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern and northern,
Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs.



Goodwill



At June 30 2022, Bancorp had $203 million in goodwill recorded on its balance
sheet, including $67 million recorded in association with the March 7, 2022
acquisition of CB. As permitted under GAAP, management has up to 12 months
following the date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired
assets and assumed liabilities related to the CB acquisition. During this
measurement period, Bancorp may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for
provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date.



Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic
conditions, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (i.e. stock price
falling below tangible book value), negative trends in overall financial
performance and regulatory action. At September 30, 2021, Bancorp elected to
perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not
that the fair value of the Commercial Banking reporting unit exceeded its
carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it
was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting unit
exceeded its fair value.



Core Deposit and Customer List Intangibles





CDIs and CLIs arising from business acquisitions are initially measured at fair
value and are then amortized on an accelerated method based on their useful
lives. As a result of the 2022 CB acquisition, a CDI asset of $13 million was
recorded. As a result of the 2021 KB acquisition, a CDI asset of $4 million was
recorded. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Bancorp's CDI assets were
$17 million and $6 million, respectively.



CLI assets totaling $14 million were also recorded in association with the CB
acquisition. Of this total, $12 million was attributed to CB's WM&T segment and
$2 million related to LFA. No similar assets were recorded in relation to the KB
acquisition. As of June 30, 2022, Bancorp's CLI assets totaled $14 million.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets increased $40 million, or 46%, to $126 million at June 30, 2022. Other liabilities decreased $9 million, or 10%, to $87 million at June 30, 2022.





The increase in other assets stems mainly from the addition of $13 million in
MSR assets related to the CB acquisition and a $17 million increase in DTAs
driven by the significant market depreciation experienced within the AFS debt
securities portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2022 associated with
rising interest rates. An increase in the market value of interest rate
swap-related assets and further investment in tax credit assets also contributed
to the increase, albeit to a lesser extent.



The decrease in other liabilities was attributed mainly to the reduction of various accrued liabilities, such as employee incentive compensation and benefits.

As of June 30, 2022, Bancorp did not incur any impairment with respect to its intangible assets or other long-lived assets.

Total loans increased $708 million, or 17%, from December 31, 2021 to June 30,
2022, driven by the addition of $630 million in loans related to
acquisition-related expansion and strong organic loan growth, which more than
offset a $104 million decline in the PPP loan portfolio.



Excluding the loans acquired through the CB acquisition and the PPP portfolio,
loan growth of $182 million, or 5%, was experienced between December 31, 2021
and June 30, 2022, driven largely by growth across virtually every loan
portfolio segment.



After hitting a pandemic-era low of 36.5% at March 31, 2021, total line of
credit utilization has improved significantly, reaching 40.5% at June 30, 2022,
led by C&I utilization, which strengthened from 23.9% to 31.0% over that same
period, respectively. However, line of credit usage has remained below
pre-pandemic levels, as the availability of PPP lending facilities limited
utilization for much of 2021 and into 2022, with customers continuing to
maintain elevated levels of liquidity amidst current economic uncertainty.

PPP loans of $37 million ($38 million gross of unamortized deferred fees and
costs) were outstanding at June 30, 2022. Bancorp has $1 million in net
unrecognized fees related to the PPP as of June 30, 2022, which will be
recognized immediately once the loans are paid off or forgiven by the SBA. While
the timing of forgiveness activity will continue to impact results, the related
fee recognition has become less significant as the balance of the overall
portfolio has shrunk. At June 30, 2022, approximately 96% of the dollars
originated through the PPP have been forgiven and approximately 97% of the fee
income received in relation to the PPP has been recognized.



Bancorp's credit exposure is diversified with secured and unsecured loans to
individuals and businesses. No specific industry concentration exceeds 10% of
loans outstanding. While Bancorp has a diversified loan portfolio, a customer's
ability to honor contracts is somewhat dependent upon the economic stability
and/or industry in which that customer does business. Loans outstanding and
related unfunded commitments are primarily concentrated within Bancorp's current
market areas, which encompass Louisville, Kentucky, central, eastern and
northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio
MSAs.



Bancorp occasionally enters into loan participation agreements with other banks
to diversify credit risk. For certain participation loans sold, Bancorp has
retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the
participating institutions from pledging or selling their ownership share of the
loan without permission from Bancorp. GAAP requires the participated portion of
these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings. These participated loans are
included in the C&I and CRE loan portfolio segments with a corresponding
liability recorded in other liabilities. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, the total participated portion of loans of this nature totaled $5 million.



The following table presents the maturity distribution and rate sensitivity of the total loan portfolio as of June 30, 2022:

In the event where Bancorp structures a loan with a maturity exceeding five years (typically CRE loans), an automatic rate adjustment will typically be set in place at five years from origination date to limit interest rate sensitivity.

As of June 30, 2022, non-accrual loans totaled $8 million. The increase in total
non-accrual loans between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 stemmed mainly
from non-accrual loans added through the CB acquisition.



Delinquent Loans



Delinquent loans (consisting of all loans 30 days or more past due) totaled $18
million and $11 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The increase
between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 was driven by a large CRE
relationship going past due as well as loans added through the CB acquisition.
Delinquent loans to total loans were 0.37% and 0.26% at June 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, respectively. Despite the increase during the first six
months of 2022, delinquent loan levels remain low by historical comparison.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans





The ACL for loans is a valuation allowance for loans estimated at each balance
sheet date in accordance with GAAP. When Bancorp deems all or a portion of a
loan to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is
reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
ACL when received. See the Footnote titled "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies" for discussion of Bancorp's ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of
the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire ACL for loans is
available for any loan that, in Bancorp's judgment, should be charged-off.



The following table reflects activity in the ACL on loans for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022:

Bancorp's ACL for loans was $66 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $54
million as of December 31, 2021. The change in the ACL for loans was driven by a
number of competing factors, which resulted in the $12 million, or 23%, increase
experienced for the first six months of 2022. Acquisition-related activity was
responsible for a total increase to the ACL for loans of $14 million at
acquisition date, comprised of a $10 million day one adjustment for specific
reserves placed on acquired PCD loans (offset to goodwill) and $4.4 million of
provision for credit loss expense on loans related to the remaining acquired
non-PCD loan portfolio.



Partially offsetting the acquisition-related increases was a net reduction of
the ACL for loans of $2 million for the first six months of 2022. While
improvement in the unemployment forecast has helped drive reductions of the ACL
for loans in recent quarters, the FRB's forecast of the Seasonally Adjusted
National Civilian Unemployment Rate, which is the primary loss driver with
Bancorp's CECL model, deteriorated during the second quarter, presumptively the
result of inflation and recession-based fears. This development, along with
qualitative factor updates related to the potential impact of rising rates on
the C&I portfolio, resulted in increased expense within the CECL model. However,
the negative impact of the economic forecast update was more than offset by the
release of approximately $3.0 million in specific reserves within the ACL for
individual loans related to recently acquired individual loans that ultimately
paid off during the second quarter with no loss or charge-off realized by
Bancorp, driving the negative provision recorded for the six month period ending
June 30, 2022.



In addition, net recovery activity of $535,000 was recorded for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, driven mainly by a $711,000 recovery of a C&I relationship
during the first quarter that was fully charged off in the prior year, serving
to increase the ACL for loans.



The ACL for loans calculation and resulting credit loss expense is significantly
impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Should the forecast for
economic conditions change, Bancorp could experience further adjustments in its
required ACL for loans credit loss expense.

While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also
experienced an increase between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022. The CB
acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the ACL for off balance sheet
credit exposures during the first quarter, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense).
Provision for credit loss expense of $100,000 was also recorded for the six
month period ended June 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new lines,
and thus increased availability, within the C&D portfolio. ACL for off balance
sheet credit exposures stood at $4.1 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to
$3.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

result of the CB acquisition. Excluding the deposits acquired through the CB
acquisition, deposits decreased $358 million, or 6%, during the first six months
of 2022, attributed mainly to anticipated seasonal deposit run-off and time
deposit maturities.



Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase





SSUAR represent a funding source of Bancorp and are primarily used by commercial
customers in conjunction with collateralized corporate cash management accounts.
Such repurchase agreements are considered financing agreements and mature within
one business day from the transaction date. At June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, all of these financing arrangements had overnight maturities and were
secured by government sponsored enterprise obligations and government agency
mortgage-backed securities that were owned and controlled by Bancorp.

SSUARs are collateralized by securities and are treated as financings;
accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets
and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the
securities are reflected as liabilities. All securities underlying the
agreements are under the Bank's control. The majority of SSUARs are indexed to
immediately repricing indices such as the FFTR.



SSUARs increased $86 million, between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, as
SSUAR totaling $66 million were assumed as part of the CB acquisition. The
remaining fluctuation in SSUAR is consistent with the general trend of customers
maintaining elevated deposit balances over the past several quarters.





Subordinated debentures



As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of
the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust
III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The
sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned
in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS
are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related
interest expense are included in Bancorp's consolidated financial statements.
The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp's option on a
quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2022, subordinated notes added through the CB
acquisition totaled $26 million.



Liquidity



The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet
depositors' withdrawal and borrowers' credit demands while at the same time
maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand
for funds with changes in supply of those funds. Liquidity is provided by
short-term assets that can be converted to cash, AFS debt securities, various
lines of credit available to Bancorp, and the ability to attract funds from
external sources, principally deposits. Management believes it has the ability
to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than market
rate.



Bancorp's Asset/Liability Committee is comprised of senior management and has
direct oversight responsibility for Bancorp's liquidity position and profile. A
combination of reports provided to management details internal liquidity
metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences
in short-term cash flow obligations, and exposure to contingent draws on
Bancorp's liquidity.



Bancorp's most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, FFS and
AFS debt securities. FFS and interest bearing deposits totaled $485 million and
$899 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease
experienced for the first six months of 2022 is attributed to significant
investment in the securities portfolio, strong organic loan growth and seasonal
deposit runoff. FFS normally have overnight maturities while interest-bearing
deposits in banks are accessible on demand. These investments are used for
general daily liquidity purposes.



The fair value of the AFS debt security portfolio was $1.14 billion and $1.18
billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. The lack of growth
in AFS debt security portfolio for the first six months of 2022 is attributed to
both classifying securities purchased and acquired during the first quarter as
HTM for general capital purposes, as well as significant market depreciation
experienced on the AFS portfolio since December 31, 2021 due to rising rates.
The investment portfolio (HTM and AFS) includes scheduled maturities of $26
million and cash flows on amortizing debt securities of approximately $206
million (based on assumed prepayment speeds as of June 30, 2022) expected over
the next twelve months. Combined with FFS and interest bearing deposits from
banks, AFS debt securities offer substantial resources to meet either loan
growth or reductions in Bancorp's deposit funding base. Bancorp pledges portions
of its investment securities portfolio to secure public funds, cash balances of
certain WM&T accounts and SSUAR. At June 30, 2022, total investment securities
pledged for these purposes comprised 64% of the debt securities portfolio,
leaving approximately $586 million of unpledged debt securities.



Bancorp's deposit base consists mainly of core deposits, defined as time
deposits less than or equal to $250,000, demand, savings, and money market
deposit accounts, and excludes public funds and brokered deposits. At June 30,
2022, such deposits totaled $5.76 billion and represented 88% of Bancorp's total
deposits, as compared with $5.05 billion, or 87% of total deposits at December
31, 2021. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often tied to
other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships, they do not place
undue pressure on liquidity. However, many of Bancorp's individual depositors
are currently maintaining historically high balances. These excess balances may
be more sensitive to market rates, with potential decreases possibly straining
Bancorp's liquidity position.



As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Bancorp held brokered deposits
totaling $10 million and $5 million, respectively, all of which is attributed to
deposits added through the acquisition-related activity over the past twelve
months.

Table of Contents





Included in total deposit balances at June 30, 2022 are $628 million in public
funds generally comprised of accounts with local government agencies and public
school districts in the markets in which Bancorp operates. At December 31, 2021,
public funds deposits totaled $645 million, the increase experienced during the
first six months of 2022 being attributed mainly to relationships added through
the CB acquisition.



Bancorp is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a member of the FHLB, Bancorp
has access to credit products of the FHLB. Bancorp views these borrowings as a
potential low cost alternative to brokered deposits. At June 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, available credit from the FHLB totaled $1.22 billion and
$1.00 billion, respectively. Additionally, Bancorp had unsecured available FFP
lines with correspondent banks totaling $100 million and $80 million at June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, Bancorp had borrowing
capacity of $20 million available through an unsecured borrowing line at the
holding company.



During the normal course of business, Bancorp enters into certain forms of
off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters
of credit. These transactions are managed through Bancorp's various risk
management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance
sheet transactions in its evaluation of Bancorp's liquidity.



Bancorp's principal source of cash is dividends paid to it as the sole
shareholder of the Bank. As discussed in the Footnote titled "Commitments and
Contingent Liabilities," as of January 1st of any year, the Bank may pay
dividends in an amount equal to the Bank's net income of the prior two years
less any dividends paid for the same two years. At June 30, 2022, the Bank could
pay an amount equal to $43 million in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory
approval subject to ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.



Sources and Uses of Cash



Cash flow is provided primarily through financing activities of Bancorp, which
include raising deposits and borrowing funds from institutional sources such as
advances from FHLB and FFP, as well as scheduled loan repayments and cash flows
from debt securities. These funds are primarily used to facilitate investment
activities of Bancorp, which include making loans and purchasing securities for
the investment portfolio. Another important source of cash is net income of the
Bank from operating activities.  For further detail regarding the sources and
uses of cash, see the "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" in Bancorp's
consolidated financial statements.



Commitments



In the normal course of business, Bancorp is party to activities that contain
credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part
in Bancorp's consolidated financial statements. Such activities include
traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, commitments
under operating leases and long-term debt.



Bancorp provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan
commitments and standby letters of credit. Unused loan commitments increased
$467 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, the increase
being driven by both the CB acquisition and new lines of credit. Total average
line of credit utilization declined to 40.5% as of June 30, 2022 compared to
41.2% at December 31, 2021, however, both represent significant improvement from
the pandemic-era low of 36.5% experienced at March 31, 2021. C&I line of credit
utilization was 31.0% at June 30, 2022 compared to 31.8% at December 31, 2021
and 27.4% at June 30, 2021.



Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as
collateral is available as agreed upon and there is no violation of any
condition established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bancorp uses the same credit and
collateral policies in making commitments and conditional guarantees as for
on-balance sheet instruments. Bancorp evaluates each customer's creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on
management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, securities, equipment and real estate.
However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default
on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss,
without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments.

The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, which is separate from the ACL
for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets,
stood at $4.1 million and $3.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, respectively. The CB acquisition resulted in a $500,000 increase to the
ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, with the corresponding offset
recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). In addition, $100,000 of
provision expense was recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 2022,
driven largely by the addition of new lines, and thus increased availability,
within the C&D portfolio.


Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party beneficiary. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support commercial transactions. Standby letters of credit generally have maturities of one to two years.





In addition to owned banking facilities, Bancorp has entered into long-term
leasing arrangements for certain branch facilities. Bancorp also has required
future payments for a non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan, TPS and the
maturity of time deposits.


See the footnote titled "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" for additional detail.







Capital



At June 30, 2022, stockholders' equity totaled $747 million, representing an
increase of $71 million, or 11%, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase for
the first six months of 2022 was attributed mainly to stock issued in relation
to the CB acquisition, which totaled $134 million. Further, net income of $34.7
million was offset by a $79 million negative change in AOCI and dividends
declared during the first six months of 2022. AOCI consists of net unrealized
gains or losses on AFS debt securities and a minimum pension liability, each net
of income taxes. The large decline in AOCI from December 31, 2021 to June 30,
2022 was the result of the rising interest rate environment and its
corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio.
These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S.
government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history
of no credit losses. See the "Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders'
Equity" for further detail of changes in equity.



As a result of the large interest-rate driven changes in AOCI noted above, as
well as acquisition-related growth, Bancorp's TCE ratio and tangible book value
per share, both non-GAAP disclosures, experienced declines between December 31,
2021 and June 30, 2022. TCE was 7.00% at June 30, 2022 compared to 8.22% at
December 31, 2021, while tangible book value per share was $17.59 at June 30,
2022 compared to $20.09 at December 31, 2021. See the section titled "Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.



In May 2021, Bancorp's Board of Directors extended its share repurchase program
authorizing the repurchase of up to 1 million shares, or approximately 4% of
Bancorp's total common shares outstanding at the time. The plan, which will
expire in May 2023 unless otherwise extended or completed at an earlier date,
does not obligate Bancorp to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of
shares prior to the plan's expiration. Based on economic developments over the
past year and the increased importance of capital preservation, no shares were
repurchased in 2021, nor the first six months of 2022. Approximately 741,000
shares remain eligible for repurchase under the current repurchase plan.

Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to
meet risk-based capital standards. These standards, or ratios, measure the
relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet
risks. The value of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted
to reflect credit risks. See the Footnote titled "Regulatory Matters" for
additional detail regarding regulatory capital requirements, as well as capital
ratios of Bancorp and the Bank. The Bank exceeds regulatory capital ratios
required to be well-capitalized. Regulatory framework does not define well
capitalized for holding companies. Management considers the effects of growth on
capital ratios as it contemplates plans for expansion.



The following table sets forth consolidated Bancorp's and the Bank's risk based
capital ratios:



                                              June 30, 2022       December 31, 2021

Bank                                                   10.62                   11.56

Bank                                                    8.06                    8.57






(1)  Under regulatory risk-based capital guidelines, assets and
credit-equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet credit exposures
are assigned to broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk
category is multiplied by the associated risk weight of the category. Weighted
values are added together, resulting in Bancorp's total risk-weighted assets.
These ratios are computed in relation to average assets.



(2)  Ratio is computed in relation to average assets.



Capital ratios as of June 30, 2022 decreased compared December 31, 2021 as a
result of substantial average asset and risk-weighted asset growth, driven by
both organic and acquisition-related activity. While pressure was placed on
risk-based capital and leverage ratios due to this growth, Bancorp continues to
exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank
intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the
"well-capitalized" requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition
to the capital conservation buffer.



Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To meet the
definition of well-capitalized for prompt corrective action requirements, a bank
must have a minimum 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.0%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio and 5.0%
Tier 1 Leverage ratio.



Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including
dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive
officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer
composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based
capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier
1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be
considered adequately-capitalized. At June 30, 2022, the adequately-capitalized
minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were a 6.0% Common Equity
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and 10.5%
Total Risk-Based Capital ratio.



As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of
the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust
III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The
sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned
in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS
are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related
interest expense are included in Bancorp's consolidated financial statements.
The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp's option on a
quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2022, subordinated notes added through the CB
acquisition totaled $26 million. Further, Bancorp had borrowing capacity of $20
million available through an unsecured borrowing line of the holding company as
of June 30, 2022, which was added during the first quarter to allow capital
flexibility at the Bank level.

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal
banking regulatory agencies, Bancorp elected the option to delay the estimated
impact on regulatory capital related to the adoption of ASC 326 "Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses," or CECL, which was effective January 1, 2020. The
initial impact of adoption of ASC 326, as well as 25% of the quarterly increases
in the ACL subsequent to adoption of ASC 326 (collectively the "transition
adjustments") were declared to be delayed for two years. After two years, the
cumulative amount of the transition adjustments will become fixed and will be
phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three-year
period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four and 25%
recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital
benefits will be fully reversed. Had Bancorp not elected to defer the regulatory
capital impact of CECL, the post ASC 326 adoption capital ratios of Bancorp and
the Bank would have exceeded the well-capitalized level.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures






The following table provides a reconciliation of total stockholders' equity in
accordance with GAAP to tangible stockholders' equity (TCE), a non-GAAP
disclosure. Bancorp provides the TCE per share, a non-GAAP measure, in addition
to those defined by banking regulators, based on its widespread use by investors
as a means to evaluate capital adequacy:

The general decline between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 for the ratios
displayed in the table above is attributed mainly to unrealized losses within
the AFS debt securities portfolio stemming from the significant increase in
interest rates during the six months of 2022, which drove a $79 million decline
in AOCI and as a result, a decline in stockholders equity. Further,
acquisition-related growth served to increase goodwill and total assets, which
also contributed to lower ratios.

The ACL for loans to total non-PPP loans represents the ACL for loans, divided
by total loans less PPP loans. Non-performing loans to total non-PPP loans
represents non-performing loans, divided by total loans less PPP loans.
Delinquent loans to total non-PPP loans represents delinquent loans (consisting
of all loans 30 days or more past due), divided by total loans less PPP loans.
Bancorp believes these non-GAAP disclosures are important because they provide
comparable ratios after eliminating PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the
SBA and have not been allocated for within the ACL and are not at risk of
non-performance.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, equals total non-interest expenses
divided by the sum of net interest income FTE and non-interest income. The ratio
excludes net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment
securities, if applicable. In addition to the efficiency ratio, Bancorp
considers an adjusted efficiency ratio. Bancorp believes it is important because
it provides a comparable ratio after eliminating the fluctuation in non-interest
expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and
non-recurring merger expenses.
