ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Business Combinations
On January 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Xenith, a bank holding company based in Richmond, Virginia, for a purchase price of approximately $801.0 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Xenith’s common stockholders received 0.9354 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Xenith’s common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 21,922,077 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Company paid $6.2 million in exchange for Xenith's outstanding options.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $425.6 million in goodwill and $38.5 million of amortizable assets, which relate to core deposit intangibles. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company currently estimates that these intangibles assets will be amortized over 10 years using sum-of-years digits. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition.
Affordable Housing Entities
The Company invests in private investment funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties that provide affordable housing tax credits for these investments. The activities of these entities are financed with a combination of invested equity capital and debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Company recognized amortization of $235,000 and $223,000, respectively, and tax credits of $283,000 and $309,000, respectively, associated with these investments within “Income tax expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The carrying value of the Company’s investments in these qualified affordable housing projects was $11.6 million and $11.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company's recorded liability totaled $8.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for the related unfunded commitments, which are expected to be paid from 2018 to 2019.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606” and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (“Topic 606”). This ASU revised guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance, as amended, is applicable to all entities and replaces a significant portion of existing industry and transaction-specific revenue recognition rules with a more principles-based recognition model. Most revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest income, loan origination fees, and credit card fees, is outside the scope of the guidance. Gains and losses on investment securities, derivatives, and sales of financial instruments are similarly excluded from the scope. The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the new guidance. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results but did result in expanded disclosures related to noninterest income and enhanced qualitative disclosures on the revenues within the scope of the new guidance. Refer to Note 11 “Revenue" for further discussion on the Company's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU requires an entity to, among other things: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price and; (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of AFS debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The ASU provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. The ASU also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and resulted in enhancements to the financial instrument disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets, but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to today’s accounting. The guidance also eliminates the real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs, and lease executory costs for all entities. For lessors, this ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently working to identify the complete lease population, including potential embedded leases. The adoption of this standard is expected to result in additional assets and liabilities, as the Company will be required to recognize operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Other implementation matters to be addressed include, but are not limited to, the determination of effects on the financial and capital ratios and the quantification of the impacts that this accounting guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU updates the existing guidance to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendment replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The CECL model will replace the Company's current accounting for PCI and impaired loans. The guidance also amends the AFS debt securities OTTI model. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the requirements and necessary changes to the existing credit loss estimation methods and identifying a complete set of data requirements and sources. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. This guidance may result in material changes in the Company's accounting for credit losses on financial instruments.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU relates to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with current GAAP. The amendment simplifies the application of the hedge accounting guidance and improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The targeted improvements in ASU No. 2017-12 will allow the Company a one-time transfer of certain debt securities from HTM to AFS. The amendments will be effective for the Company for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to early adopt this standard in the second quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. As part of this adoption, the Company plans to make the one time election to transfer eligible HTM securities to the AFS category in order to optimize the investment portfolio management for capital and risk management considerations. The Company plans to transfer HTM securities with a carrying amount of approximately $200 million, which will result in an impact to accumulated other comprehensive income. The consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, will also include a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings to reflect the application of the new guidance related to the fair value hedges. The Company is in the process of developing the required disclosures, which will be included in its second quarter 2018 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and requires certain disclosures about the stranded tax effects. The amendments will be effective for the Company for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in 2018 via the retrospective approach applying the effect of the change to the date of the enacted Tax Act, which was December 22, 2017. The Company has concluded the adoption of ASU No. 2018-02 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
