Business Combinations and Divestitures
On January 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Xenith, a bank holding company based in Richmond, Virginia.
On April 1, 2018, the Bank completed its acquisition of DHFB, a Roanoke, Virginia-based investment advisory firm with approximately $600 million in assets under management and advisement. DHFB operates as a subsidiary of the Bank.
These transactions were 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. The resulting goodwill from both of these transactions is not deductible for tax purposes.
Refer to Note 2 “Acquisitions" for further discussion on the Company's business combinations during the period.

| Divestitures |
On May 23, 2018, the Bank announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with a third party mortgage company to team together to offer residential mortgages. As a result of this arrangement, the Bank began winding down the operations of UMG, the Company's reportable mortgage segment. Refer to Note 13 "Segment Reporting & Discontinued Operations" for further discussion on this agreement.
On June 29, 2018, the Bank entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and certain specific liabilities of its Shore Premier Finance division, consisting primarily of marine loans totaling approximately $383.9 million, for a purchase price consisting of approximately $375.0 million in cash and 1,250,000 shares of the purchasing company's common stock. The purchasing company has agreed for a limited time to pay additional cash consideration to the Company to the extent any sales of its common stock by the Company, following satisfaction of any required holding periods or other requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, are at prices lower than the agreed upon value at the time of entry into the agreement. At June 30, 2018, the fair value of the purchasing company's stock was $28.2 million, which was included as "Marketable Equity Securities" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchase of the loans was completed on June 29, 2018 and became effective at the end of the day on June 30, 2018. The sale generated an after-tax gain of approximately $16.5 million, net of transaction and other related costs.
On June 29, 2018, the Bank sold approximately $206.3 million in consumer home improvement loans that had been originated through a third-party lending program. These loans were sold at par.

| Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
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 No. 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and resulted in enhancements to the financial instrument disclosures.
On May 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU 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 allowed the Company a one-time transfer of certain debt securities from HTM to AFS. The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective approach. As part of this adoption, the Company made a 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 transferred HTM securities with a carrying amount of $187.4 million, which resulted in a $400,000 increase to AOCI. Refer to Note 3 "Securities" and Note 9 "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" for further discussion regarding the adoption.
On May 1, 2018, the Company early adopted 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 AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and requires certain disclosures about the stranded tax effects. The Company reclassified approximately $107,000 from AOCI to retained earnings during the second quarter 2018. Refer to Note 9 "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" for further discussion regarding the adoption.
The net impact to retained earnings of the adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 and ASU No. 2018-02 was $293,000.
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 implementing new lease systems in conjunction with the adoption. Management is progressing with implementation, and while the Company continues to evaluate this standard and the effect of related disclosures, the primary effect of adoption will be to require recording right-of-use assets and corresponding lease obligations for current operating leases. 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 has established a cross-functional governance structure for the implementation of CECL. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact ASU No. 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. This standard contains significant differences from existing U.S GAAP, and the implementation of this standard may result in increases to our reserves for credit losses of financial instruments; however, the quantitative impact cannot be reasonably estimated since this standard relies on economic conditions and trends that will impact the Company's portfolio at the time of adoption.
