PEOPLES BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”).
The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2016 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q. Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2017 for potential recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2016, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2016 Form 10-K.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.
New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates.
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective January 1, 2019 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-11 - Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part 1) Accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features and (Part II), Replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests with a scope exception. Part I of the update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features such as warrants or convertible instruments and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope and Modification Accounting. An entity may change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award for many different reasons, and the nature and effect of the change can vary significantly. Modification is currently defined as "a change in any of the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award." The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (effective January 1, 2018 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
7
ASU 2017-08 - Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective January 1, 2019 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-07 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments in this ASU require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The amendments will improve the consistency, transparency, and usefulness of financial information and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (effective January 1, 2018 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it will have no impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements as the accrual for pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen as of March 1, 2011.
ASU 2017-04 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. This accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-01 - Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consideration. Phase 2 of the project will not impact Peoples' consolidated financial statements. ASU 2017-01 will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (effective January 1, 2018 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt Phase 1 of this new accounting guidance as required and management will apply this guidance to future transactions upon adoption. Phase 2, which was released as ASU 2017-05 will not impact Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). There are many aspects of this new accounting guidance that are still being interpreted and the FASB has issued updates to certain aspects of the guidance to address implementation issues. The FASB issued updates in March, April, May and December of 2016, and September of 2017, clarifying several areas of the guidance. These clarifications included:
•Principal versus agent considerations,
•Collectibility, sales tax and non-cash consideration, practical expedients for contract modifications and
completed contracts,

This accounting guidance can be implemented using either a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective approach. This accounting guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (effective January 1, 2018 for Peoples). Early adoption is permitted but only for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance in 2018, as required, and expects to adopt the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach uses a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to reflect uncompleted contracts in the initial application of the guidance. Peoples' preliminary analysis indicates that certain non-interest income financial statement line items contain revenue streams that are in the scope of this update, the most substantial of which is insurance income. Based on Peoples’ evaluation to date, Peoples does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a significant impact on Peoples’ financial condition or results of operations; however, the review is ongoing. Peoples will continue to evaluate the impact of this accounting guidance, including any additional guidance issued, during the completion of this internal assessment.
ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting guidance replaces the current “incurred loss” model for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” model referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. Under the CECL model, Peoples will be required to present
8
certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held-for-investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, at the net amount expected to be collected.
The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model required under current US GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, Peoples expects that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how the allowance for loan losses is determined and could require significant increases to the allowance for loan losses. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of Peoples' allowance for loan losses. If required to materially increase the level of allowance for loan losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect Peoples' business, financial condition and results of operations.
The new CECL standard will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (effective January 1, 2020 for Peoples). Peoples is currently evaluating the impact that the CECL model will have on Peoples' financial statements and expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan loss provision as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance issued at the end of 2016. Peoples has not yet determined the magnitude of any such one-time cumulative adjustment or of the overall impact of the new standard on Peoples' financial condition or results of operations.
ASU 2016-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU require all excess income tax benefits or tax deficiencies of stock awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The amendments also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it could under previous guidance for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. Peoples adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2017, and will continue using an estimated forfeiture rate. In the first nine months of 2017, Peoples recorded a tax benefit of $123,000 associated with the adoption of this ASU for the tax benefit of awards that settled or vested during the year, with the majority recorded in the first quarter of 2017.
ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842): This ASU was issued to improve the financial reporting of leasing activities and provide a faithful representation of leasing transactions and improve understanding and comparability of a lessee's financial statements. Under the new accounting guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. This ASU will require both finance and operating leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. This ASU will affect all companies and organizations that lease real estate. This ASU will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (effective January 1, 2019 for Peoples). Peoples will adopt this new accounting guidance as required, and it is not expected to have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-01 - Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more useful information. The amendments require equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, a reporting organization may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment (if any,) from observable price changes in orderly transactions for similar investments of the same issuer. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (effective January 1, 2018 for Peoples). Peoples is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting guidance on Peoples' consolidated financial statements which may result in an impact to the income statement on a quarterly and annual basis, as market values fluctuate. Peoples will adopt this accounting guidance as of the required effective date. As of September 30, 2017, Peoples had net unrealized gains on equity securities of $6.5 million.

The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included the following:
Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when the amounts to be received are less than the carrying value of the loans. One of the allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment is estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices or market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 2 inputs). At September 30, 2017, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $33.0 million were measured and reported at a fair value of $27.0 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, Peoples recognized $83,000 and $408,000 of recoveries on impaired loans, respectively, through the allowance for loan losses.
The following table presents the fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried on Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis:

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits, and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:
Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans (Level 3 inputs). In the current whole loan market, financial investors are generally requiring a higher rate of return than the return inherent in loans if held to maturity given the lack of market liquidity. This divergence accounts for the majority of the difference in carrying amount over fair value.
Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs).
Long-term borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2 inputs).
Cash flow hedges: Cash flow hedges are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within other assets. The fair value for derivative instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2 inputs).
Customer relationships, deposit base, banking center networks, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Management systematically evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. At September 30, 2017, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased.
At September 30, 2017, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or four positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Two of the four positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book value, with an aggregate book and fair value of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low number of loans remaining in these securities.
Furthermore, the unrealized losses with respect to the three bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at September 30, 2017 were primarily attributable to the floating-rate nature of those investments, the current interest rate environment and spreads within that sector.

Note 4 Loans
Peoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' primary market areas of northeastern, central, southwestern and southeastern Ohio, west central West Virginia, and northeastern Kentucky. Acquired loans consist of loans purchased in 2012 or thereafter in a business combination. Loans that were acquired and subsequently re-underwritten, are reported as originated upon execution of such credit actions (for example, renewals and increases in lines of credit). The major classifications of loan balances (in each case, net of deferred fees and costs) excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

Peoples has acquired various loans through business combinations for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amounts of these purchased credit impaired loans included in the loan balances above are summarized as follows:

Changes in the accretable yield for purchased credit impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | Accretable Yield | ||
Balance, December 31, 2016 | $ | 7,132 | |
Reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable | 1,285 | ||
Accretion | (1,279 | ) | |
Balance, September 30, 2017 | $ | 7,138 | |
Peoples completes annual re-estimations of cash flows on acquired purchased credit impaired loans in August of each year. The above reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable related to the re-estimation of cash flows on the purchased credit impaired loan portfolio, coupled with the loans performing better than expected. The majority of the reclassification related to prepayment speeds decreasing in the residential portfolio, resulting in higher total expected cash flows.
Cash flows expected to be collected on purchased credit impaired loans are estimated by incorporating several key assumptions, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default, and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income, and possibly the principal expected to be collected. In re-forecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.
Peoples pledges certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. The amount of such pledged loans totaled $490.1 million and $542.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Peoples also pledges commercial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled $84.0 million and $152.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing were as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators
As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2016 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:
“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.
“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.
“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of
20
certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of the loan as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken in the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.
Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being “not rated.”
The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed:

Peoples' impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs").
In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (iv) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.
Peoples considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether or not a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by Peoples include the borrower's ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to the unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by Peoples generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the loan, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk, (iii) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (iv) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses for Acquired Loans
Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date with no valuation allowance, and monitored for changes in credit quality and subsequent increases or decreases in expected cash flows. Decreases in expected cash flows of acquired purchased credit impaired loans are recognized as an impairment, with the amount of the expected loss included in management's evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. The methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for nonimpaired acquired loans are similar to those utilized for originated loans; however, Peoples records a provision for loan losses only when the computed allowance exceeds the remaining fair value adjustment. During the third quarter of 2017, Peoples completed its reforecast of the estimated cash flows expected to be collected on purchased credit impaired loans. As a result, Peoples recorded an additional provision for loan losses for acquired loans during the third quarter of 2017. During the first nine months of 2017, Peoples also recognized a recovery of loan losses that was related to an acquired purchased credit impaired loan that was paid off.
The following table presents activity in the allowance for loan losses for acquired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30:

Note 5 Long-Term Borrowings
The following table summarizes Peoples' long-term borrowings:

(Dollars in thousands) | Balance | Weighted- Average Rate | Balance | Weighted- Average Rate | |||||||

Total long-term borrowings | $ | 195,890 | 2.43 | % | $ | 145,155 | 2.81 | % | |||
Peoples continually evaluates its overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment. During the first nine months of 2017, Peoples borrowed an additional $75.0 million of long-term FHLB non-amortizing advances, which have interest rates ranging from 1.20% to 2.03% and mature between 2018 and 2022.
As of September 30, 2017, Peoples' FHLB putable and callable national market repurchase agreements had no remaining putable or callable options. Peoples is required to make quarterly interest payments.
The amortizing, fixed-rate FHLB advances have a fixed rate for the term of each advance, with maturities ranging from ten to twenty years. These advances require monthly principal and interest payments, with some having a constant prepayment rate requiring an additional principal payment annually. These advances are not eligible for optional prepayment prior to maturity.
Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2017, Peoples had seven interest rate swaps with a notional value of $60.0 million associated with Peoples' cash outflows for various FHLB advances. The swaps become effective in 2018,
27
roughly to coincide with the maturity of existing FHLB advances. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps can be found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Peoples maintains a multi-year unsecured $15.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Raymond James Bank, N.A. that matures on March 4, 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used: (i) to make acquisitions; (ii) to make stock repurchases; (iii) for working capital needs; and (iv) for other general corporate purposes. Each loan under the Credit Facility will bear interest per annum at a rate equal to 3.00% plus the one-month LIBOR rate, which rate will reset monthly. As of September 30, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. Additional information regarding the Credit Facility can be found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2016 Form 10-K.
The aggregate minimum annual retirements of long-term borrowings in future periods are as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | Balance | Weighted-Average Rate | |||
Three months ending December 31, 2017 | $ | 1,866 | 2.04 | % | |
Year ending December 31, 2018 | 54,385 | 3.46 | % | ||

Note 7 Employee Benefit Plans
Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in Peoples medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the health benefits as they arise.

Note 9 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Derivatives and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Balance Sheet
Peoples' fair value of the derivative financial instruments was $4.8 million in an asset position and $3.9 million in a liability position at September 30, 2017, and there was $5.0 million in an asset position and $3.2 million in a liability position at December 31, 2016. The amounts are recorded in other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at the periods indicated.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2017, Peoples had seven interest rate swaps with a notional value of $60.0 million associated with Peoples' cash outflows for various FHLB advances.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of each derivative is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") (outside of earnings), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing
29
the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction.
Peoples hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 13 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments). Peoples entered into the seven interest rate swap contracts, described above, whereby Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate. The received floating rate component is intended to offset the rate on the rolling three-month FHLB advances. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income or expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate assets or liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016, Peoples had no reclassifications to interest expense. Peoples estimates that no interest expense amount will be reclassified in the fourth quarter of 2017 prior to adoption of the new accounting standards.
The amount of accumulated other comprehensive pre-tax income for Peoples' cash flow hedges was $1.0 million at September 30, 2017. There were no pre-tax net losses recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, Peoples had no reclassifications to earnings in the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016.
Non-Designated Hedges
Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples provides its customer with a fixed-rate loan while creating a variable-rate asset for Peoples by the customer entering into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the loan. Peoples offsets its risk exposure by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative. Peoples had interest rate swaps associated with commercial loans with a notional value of $334.2 million and fair value of $3.5 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017, and a notional value of $247.3 million and fair value of $3.2 million of equally offsetting assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operation or financial condition.
Note 10 Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and unrestricted share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 1,081,260. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 800,000 common shares. Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans. Since 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees and restricted common shares to non-employee directors subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.
Stock Appreciation Rights
SARs granted to employees have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Peoples’ common shares on the date of grant and will be settled using common shares of Peoples. Additionally, the SARs granted to employees vested three years after the respective grant dates and are to expire ten years from the respective date of grant. The most recent grant of SARs occurred in 2008. The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples' SARs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Restricted Common Shares
Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on restricted common shares awarded to non-employee directors expire after six months, while the restrictions on restricted common shares awarded to employees expire after periods ranging from one to three years. In the first nine months of 2017, Peoples granted an aggregate of 61,547 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date. During the first nine months of 2017, Peoples granted, to certain key employees, an aggregate of 4,250 restricted common shares subject to time-based vesting with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date. Peoples also granted, to non-employee directors, an aggregate of 3,300 restricted common shares subject to time-based vesting with restrictions that will lapse six months after the grant date.
The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total intrinsic value for restricted common shares released was $0.9 million compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Stock-Based Compensation
Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation expense, which is included as a component of Peoples' salaries and employee benefit costs, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested awards was $1.8 million at September 30, 2017, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
Performance Unit Award Agreement
Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award performance unit awards to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. On July 26, 2017, Peoples granted a total of seven performance unit awards to officers with a maximum aggregate dollar amount of $1.3 million represented by the performance units subject to such awards, with each performance unit representing $1.00. The performance unit awards granted are for the performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2019, and will be subject to two performance goals. Twenty-five percent of the performance units subject to each award will vest if, but only if, the related target performance goal is achieved. The remaining 75% of the performance units subject to each award will vest based on the relative performance (measured by percentile ranking) with respect to the related maximum performance goal. If for the performance period, the target level of achievement for the first performance goal and/or the maximum level of achievement for the second performance goal is not reached, the dollar amount represented by the performance units associated with each performance goal will be adjusted to reflect the level of performance achieved. After the vesting date, the participant will receive that number of common shares of Peoples equal to
31
(i) the aggregate number of participant's performance units (and dollar value of such performance units) that vested based on the performance achieved under both performance goals (ii) divided by the fair market value of a common share on the date of such vesting and rounded down to the nearest whole common share.
Note 11 Acquisitions
On January 31, 2017, Peoples Insurance acquired a third-party insurance administration company located in Piketon, Ohio for total cash consideration of $0.5 million, and recorded $0.5 million of customer relationship intangibles. This acquisition did not materially impact Peoples' financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On October 2, 2017, Peoples Insurance acquired a property and casualty focused independent insurance agency with annual net revenue of approximately $0.8 million located in the Cleveland, Ohio area. This acquisition did not materially impact Peoples' financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On October 23, 2017, Peoples entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "ASB Agreement") with ASB Financial Corp (“ASB”). The ASB Agreement calls for ASB to merge into Peoples and for ASB's wholly-owned subsidiary, American Savings Bank, fsb, which operates 6 full-service branches in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, to merge into Peoples Bank. As of June 30, 2017, ASB had approximately $293.6 million in total assets, which included approximately $241.5 million in net loans, and approximately $210.4 million in total deposits. This transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018.

The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to understanding Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis at September 30, 2017, which were unchanged from the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2016 Form 10-K.
Summary of Recent Transactions and Events
The following is a summary of transactions from 2017 and 2016, and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition:
◦ | On October 23, 2017, Peoples entered into a merger agreement with ASB Financial Corp (“ASB”) that calls for ASB to merge into Peoples and for ASB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, American Savings Bank, fsb, which operates six offices located in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, to merge into Peoples Bank. This transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approval of the shareholders of Peoples and of ASB. As of June 30, 2017, ASB had approximately $293.6 million in total assets, which included approximately $241.5 million in net loans, and approximately $210.4 million in total deposits. Under the terms of the ASB agreement, shareholders of ASB can elect to receive either 0.592 shares of Peoples' common stock for each share of ASB common stock or $20.00 cash per share with a limit of 15% of the merger consideration being paid in cash. |
◦ | On October 2, 2017, Peoples Insurance acquired a property and casualty focused independent insurance agency with annual net revenue of approximately $0.8 million located in the Cleveland, Ohio area. The acquisition will not materially impact Peoples' financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
◦ | During the third quarter of 2017, Peoples reduced its position in certain investment securities. This action was taken as a result of the high appreciation in the market value of these securities. The sales completed resulted in a net gain on investment securities of $1.9 million, and are not a normal occurrence for our business. |
36
◦ | Peoples continually evaluates its overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment. During the second quarter of 2017, Peoples borrowed an additional $45.0 million of long-term FHLB non-amortizing advances, which have interest rates ranging from 1.74% to 2.03% and mature between 2020 and 2022. |
◦ | During the first quarter of 2017, Peoples borrowed an additional $30.0 million of long-term FHLB non-amortizing advances, which have interest rates ranging from 1.20% to 1.46% and mature between 2018 and 2019. |
◦ | On March 31, 2017, Peoples closed four full-service bank branches. The closures included two Ohio offices located in Belpre and Wilmington, and two West Virginia offices located in Huntington and Point Pleasant. Peoples will close two additional full-service bank branches in the fourth quarter of 2017, one located in Centerville, Ohio and the other located in Coshocton, Ohio. Peoples continues to evaluate its bank branch network in an effort to optimize efficiency. |
◦ | On January 31, 2017, Peoples Insurance acquired a third-party insurance administration company located in Piketon, Ohio for total cash consideration of $0.5 million, and recorded $0.5 million of customer relationship intangibles. The acquisition did not materially impact Peoples' financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
◦ | On January 27, 2017, Peoples entered into two $10.0 million forward starting interest rate swaps, which will become effective in 2018 and mature between 2025 and 2027, with interest rates ranging from 2.47% to 2.53%. For additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. |
◦ | In the fourth quarter of 2016, Peoples converted its core banking system (including ancillary systems as well as hardware, operating systems, application software and data center locations). The conversion resulted in a pre-tax combined revenue and expense impact of $1.3 million, or $0.05 in earnings per diluted share, for the full year of 2016. The costs recorded in the fourth quarter, third quarter and second quarter of 2016 were $700,000, $423,000 and $90,000, respectively. Deposit account service charges were impacted by the system conversion as Peoples granted waivers of $85,000 related to account service charges in the fourth quarter of 2016. |
◦ | During the fourth quarter of 2016, Peoples entered into two $5.0 million forward starting interest rate swaps, which become effective in 2018 and mature in 2022 and 2026, with interest rates of 1.56% and 1.83%. For additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. |
◦ | During the second quarter of 2016, Peoples executed the following transactions to take advantage of the low interest rates: |
▪ | Peoples restructured $20.0 million of FHLB borrowings that had a weighted-average rate of 2.97%, resulting in a $700,000 loss. Peoples replaced these borrowings with a long-term FHLB advance, which has an interest rate of 2.17% and matures in 2026. |
▪ | Peoples borrowed an additional $35.0 million of long-term FHLB amortizing advances, which had interest rates ranging from 1.08% to 1.40%, and mature between 2019 and 2031. |
▪ | Peoples entered into three $10.0 million forward starting interest rate swaps, which become effective in 2018 and mature between 2023 and 2025, with interest rates ranging from 1.49% to 1.56%. These swaps locked in funding rates for $40.0 million in FHLB advances that mature in 2018, which have interest rates ranging from 3.65% to 3.92%. For additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. |
◦ | On June 8, 2016, Peoples purchased an additional $35.0 million in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"). The additional BOLI added $560,000 in non-interest income in the first nine months of 2017, compared to the first nine months of 2016. |
◦ | On March 4, 2016, Peoples entered into a Credit Agreement (the "RBJ Credit Agreement") with Raymond James, which provides Peoples with a revolving line of credit in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million, that may be used: (i) to make acquisitions; (ii) to make stock repurchases; (iii) for working capital needs; and (iv) for other general corporate purposes. On March 4, 2016, Peoples paid upfront fees for the establishment of a revolving line of credit agreement of $70,600, representing 0.47% of the loan commitment under the RJB Credit Agreement. |
◦ | Effective March 2, 2016, Peoples terminated the loan agreement with U.S. Bank National Association dated as of December 18, 2012, as amended (the "U.S. Bank Loan Agreement"). As of the termination date, Peoples had no |
37
outstanding borrowings under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement. Peoples paid an immaterial non-usage fee in connection with the termination of the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement.
◦ | On January 6, 2016, Peoples Bank acquired a small financial advisory book of business in Marietta, Ohio for total cash consideration of $0.5 million, and recorded $0.5 million of customer relationship intangibles. The acquisition did not materially impact Peoples' financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
◦ | Peoples' net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by changes in market interest rates based upon actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), either directly or through its Open Market Committee. These actions include changing its target Federal Funds Rate (the interest rate at which banks lend money to each other), Discount Rate (the interest rate charged to banks for money borrowed from a Federal Reserve Bank) and longer-term market interest rates (primarily U.S. Treasury securities). Interest rates also are affected by investor demand for U.S. Treasury securities. The resulting changes in the yield curve slope have a direct impact on reinvestment rates for Peoples' earning assets. |
◦ | The Fed raised the benchmark Federal Funds Target Rate by 25 basis points in each of December of 2016 and March and June of 2017. Peoples' management believes the Fed will likely raise the rate by 25 basis points again at its December 2017 meeting and potentially three more times in 2018. The Fed has also begun to reduce the size of its $4.5 trillion dollar balance sheet, which could result in higher interest rates as well. The minutes of the September 2017 Federal Open Market Committee meeting released in October noted concerns about raising interest rates given the low level of inflation in the economy. However, there was no indication that the Fed would alter its current posture of tightening monetary policy at future meetings. Peoples is closely monitoring interest rates, both foreign and domestic, and potential impacts of changes in interest rates to Peoples Bank’s operations. |
The impact of these transactions and events, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Peoples recorded net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 of $10.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, compared to $7.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the same quarter a year ago and net income of $9.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2017. On a year-to-date basis, net income was $29.5 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, compared to $23.7 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the same period in 2016. The increased earnings for all periods were primarily due to increases in net interest income, mortgage banking income and net gain on investment securities. Earnings per diluted common share were positively impacted by $0.07 due to the gain on investment securities of $1.9 million recognized during the third quarter of 2017.
Net interest income was $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $26.1 million for the same quarter a year ago and $28.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, while net interest margin was 3.67%, 3.54%, and 3.62%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income was $84.3 million, compared to $78.2 million for the same period in 2016, while net interest margin was 3.61% and 3.55%, respectively. The increase in net interest margin compared to all prior periods was due primarily to loan growth, with the previous increases in interest rates positively impacting net interest income and the net interest margin. In addition, during the third quarter of 2017, the investment yield improved largely due to $611,000 received on an investment security for which an other-than-temporary-impairment had previously been recorded. These proceeds added eight basis points to the net interest margin during the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, the accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $816,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $801,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $735,000 for the second quarter of 2017, which added 10 basis points to net interest margin in both the third quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2017, compared to 11 basis points for the third quarter of 2016. During the third quarter of 2017, the annual re-estimation of expected cash flows for purchased credit impaired loans was completed and resulted in adjustments to accretion income, which had a positive impact for the quarter. On a year-to-date basis, the accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions added 10 basis points to net interest margin for the first nine months of 2017 compared to 12 basis points for the first nine months of 2016.
Peoples' provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $1.1 million, compared to $947,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The slightly higher provision for loan losses recorded during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the linked quarter was reflective of the continued loan growth. Net charge-offs increased to $909,000 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $765,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $600,000 for the linked quarter of 2017. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.16% of average gross loans during the third quarter of 2017, compared to 0.14% in the third quarter of 2016 and 0.11% in the linked quarter. During the first nine months
38
of 2017, annualized net charge-offs were 0.12% of average gross loans compared to 0.09% in the same period of 2016. Net charge-offs were $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2016. The increase in net charge-offs during the periods was primarily related to residential real estate and deposit account overdrafts. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017 increased to $19.0 million, compared to $18.4 million at December 31, 2016. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 0.82% at September 30, 2017, 0.84% at September 30, 2016 and 0.82% at June 30, 2017.
For the third quarter of 2017, total non-interest income increased $1.1 million, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2016, and increased $729,000, or 5%, from the linked quarter. The increase in total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 and the linked quarter was due to an increase in net gain on investment securities which was offset partially by decreased swap fees. The increase in net gain on investment securities of $1.9 million was largely the result of $1.8 million of gains recognized as a result of the sale of bank equity securities, which had a high amount of appreciation and is not a normal occurrence for our business. The decreases in swap fees are attributed to customer demand.
For the first nine months of 2017, total non-interest income grew $3.0 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase compared to the first nine months of 2016 was the result of a $1.4 million increase in gain on sale of securities, a $647,000 increase in trust and investment income, a $560,000 increase in BOLI income and a $537,000 increase in mortgage banking income. These increases were partially offset by declines in service charges on deposit accounts of $869,000 and electronic banking income of $175,000. The increase in trust and investment income was attributable to higher assets under administration and management, coupled with additional income generated from transaction commissions. The increase in BOLI income was due to the $35.0 million of policies that were purchased late in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in mortgage banking income was primarily due to $48.3 million of loan sales to the secondary market in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $44.6 million in the first nine months of 2016. The declines in deposit account service charges were driven by lower overdraft fees while decreases in electronic banking income were due to customer activity.
Total non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2017 was $26.6 million, compared to $26.8 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2017. Total non-interest expense decreased slightly from the third quarter of 2016 due mainly to other expenses, professional fees and communication expense. The decrease in other expenses compared to the third quarter of 2016 was primarily related to $423,000 of one-time costs associated with the system upgrade of Peoples' core banking system. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees related to collections of special assets which correlated to the decrease in nonperforming assets and classified loans from September 30, 2016. The decrease in communication expense resulted from the continued consolidation of traditional phone lines to a method of transmitting all voice traffic over the internet and the discontinuation of overlapping traditional phone line contracts that occurred during the transition. These decreases were partially offset by the increase in salaries and employee benefits which was the result of an increase in incentive compensation, which is tied to business performance. Peoples' number of full-time equivalent employees was 778 at September 30, 2017, compared to 775 at June 30, 2017 and 799 at September 30, 2016.
Total non-interest expense was up 1% during the first nine months of 2017, compared to 2016. Year-to-date, salaries and employee benefit costs increased 7%, which was primarily due to higher incentive compensation tied to corporate performance for 2017. This increase was partially offset by reductions in professional fees, communication expense, other non-interest expense and amortization of other intangible assets.
Peoples' efficiency ratio, calculated as total non-interest expense less amortization of other intangible assets divided by fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") net interest income, plus total non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses, for the third quarter of 2017 was 60.74%, compared to 64.33% for the third quarter of 2016 and 61.19% for the linked quarter. The lower efficiency ratio in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income which was slightly offset by decreased non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses. The decrease from the linked quarter was due to increased net interest income which was slightly offset by decreased non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses. On a year-to-date basis, the efficiency ratio was 62.24%, compared to 64.56% for the first nine months of 2016. The improvement in the efficiency ratio during the first nine months of 2017 versus 2016 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, slightly offset by a 1% increase in total non-interest expense.
At September 30, 2017, total assets were $3.55 billion, compared to $3.43 billion, at December 31, 2016. The $120.1 million, or 3%, increase was primarily the result of growth in loan balances, net of deferred fees and costs, of $102.1 million, or 6% annualized. Indirect consumer lending continued to be a key component of loan growth as balances increased $83.0 million, or 44% annualized, compared to December 31, 2016. The growth in indirect consumer loan balances included diversification in the portfolio beyond automobile loans, including indirect consumer loans for recreational vehicles and
39
motorcycles. Commercial real estate construction loans grew $25.0 million, or 35% annualized, with commercial and industrial loans growing $21.6 million, or 7% annualized, during the first nine months of 2017. Average gross loan balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $162.3 million, or 8%, compared to the average gross loan balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily to increases in indirect consumer loans, commercial real estate construction and commercial and industrial loans.
Total liabilities were $3.10 billion at September 30, 2017, up $97.9 million since December 31, 2016. The increase in liabilities during the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to an increase in deposits of $155.0 million, or 6%, offset partially by a decline in total borrowings of $61.2 million, or 14%.
Interest-bearing deposits increased $164.5 million, or 9%, offset partially by a decrease in total non-interest-bearing deposits of $9.6 million, or 1%, compared to December 31, 2016. Peoples introduced new checking account product offerings for consumers. During the third quarter of 2017, and continuing into the fourth quarter, Peoples will migrate customers' accounts to the new product offerings. During this migration, customer accounts are evaluated based on certain characteristics, and some accounts that were traditionally non-interest-bearing deposits are being converted to interest-bearing demand accounts. As a result, fluctuations in balances have occurred between non-interest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing demand account balances during the third quarter of 2017. These new products have increased maintenance fee requirements and Peoples expects that certain of these accounts will also result in higher fee-based income in future periods. Total certificates of deposit ("CDs") at September 30, 2017 also declined $35.6 million, or 9%, compared to December 31, 2016.
The growth in interest-bearing deposits from December 31, 2016 was primarily the result of an increase of $105.3 million in interest-bearing deposits, $53.0 million in brokered CDs, and $38.2 million in governmental deposit accounts, offset partially by a decrease of $9.6 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The increase in brokered CDs was the result of adding relatively shorter term funding on the balance sheet, while the increase in governmental deposit accounts was primarily due to seasonality.
At September 30, 2017, total stockholders' equity was $457.4 million, an increase of $22.1 million, or 5%, compared to December 31, 2016. Regulatory capital ratios remained significantly higher than "well capitalized" minimums. Peoples' common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.31% at September 30, 2017, versus 12.91% at December 31, 2016, while the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.60% at September 30, 2017, compared to 13.21% at December 31, 2016. The total risk-based capital ratio was 14.49% at September 30, 2017, compared to 14.11% at December 31, 2016. In addition, Peoples' tangible equity to tangible asset ratio was 9.20%, and tangible book value per common share was $17.15 at September 30, 2017, versus 8.80% and $15.89, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue. The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Fed’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for both loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

(1)The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a 35% federal tax rate.
The following table details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

Fully tax-equivalent net interest income increased 12% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the prior year third quarter and 4% compared to the linked quarter. During the third quarter of 2017, net interest income and net interest margin benefited from accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions, which was $816,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $801,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $735,000 for the second quarter of 2017, which added 10 basis points to net interest margin in the third and second quarter of 2017, and 11 basis points for the third quarter of 2016. On a year-to-date basis, the accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions added 10 basis points to net interest margin for the first nine months of 2017 compared to 12 basis points for the first nine months of 2016.
During the third quarter of 2017, compared to the linked quarter, the net interest margin improved 5 basis points. The increases in net interest margin during the periods were primarily due to loan growth and increases in the earning asset yields outpacing higher funding costs. Recent increases in interest rates, coupled with prepayments on investment securities, led to the higher investment securities yield compared to both the third quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017. In addition, during the third quarter of 2017, Peoples received proceeds of $611,000 on an investment security for which there had previously been an other-than-temporary-impairment. These proceeds during the third quarter added 8 basis points to the net interest margin during the third quarter of 2017. Funding costs increased 12 basis points for the third quarter of 2017 compared to prior year third quarter and increased 5 basis points from the linked quarter, as continued increases in interest rates have impacted the total cost of funds.
Average loan balances for the third quarter of 2017 increased $183.9 million compared to the prior year third quarter, and were up $46.2 million compared to the linked quarter.

(a) Presented on an annualized basis | ||||||||||||||||
The provision for loan losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on management’s quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and procedural methodology that estimates the amount of probable credit losses. This process considers various factors that affect losses, such as changes in Peoples’ loan quality,
44
historical loss experience and current economic conditions. The higher provision for loan losses recorded during the third quarter of 2017, compared to the second quarter of 2017, was due to higher checking account overdrafts coupled with growth in loan balances.
Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for loan losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this discussion under the caption “FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Loan Losses.”

The net loss on bank premises and equipment during the third quarter of 2017 was primarily due to the sale of a parking lot that was no longer being utilized. The net gain on bank premises and equipment during the second quarter of 2017 was due to the sale of a previously closed branch. The net loss on bank premises and equipment during the nine months of 2016 was due mainly to the closing of a leased office and related disposal of leasehold improvements.
The net gain on OREO during the third quarter of 2017 was due to the sale of one property. The net loss on OREO during the second quarter of 2017 was due primarily to the write-down of two OREO properties.
The net loss on debt extinguishment during the nine months of 2016 was related to the prepayment of $20.0 million of FHLB advances. The net loss on other transactions during the third quarter of 2016 was related to the write-down of a tax investment.
Non-Interest Income
Insurance income comprised the largest portion of the third quarter 2017 total non-interest income. The following table details Peoples' insurance income:

Insurance income | $ | 3,345 | $ | 3,414 | $ | 3,137 | $ | 10,861 | $ | 10,934 | ||||||
The decrease in insurance income for the the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 was mainly due to the decrease in performance-based commissions. The majority of performance-based commissions typically are recorded annually in the first quarter and are based on a combination of factors, such as loss experience of insurance policies sold, production volumes, and overall financial performance of the individual insurance carriers. The increase in other fees and charges was due to the acquisition of a third-party insurance administration company that occurred in January 2017.
45
Peoples' trust and investment income continues to be based primarily upon the value of assets under management, with additional income generated from transaction commissions, cross-selling of products and additional retirement plan services business. Additionally, changes in total assets, and the income derived from the assets is primarily in relation to increases or decreases in market values.

Salaries and employee benefit costs for the third quarter and the nine months of 2017 increased compared to the third quarter and nine months of 2016 due primarily to an increase in sales-based and incentive compensation, and employee benefits, which was partially offset by a decrease in full-time equivalent employees. The increase in sales-based and incentive compensation is tied to improvement in corporate performance for 2017. The increase in employee benefits was due primarily to health insurance costs which increased as a result of higher claims in 2017.
Peoples' net occupancy and equipment expense was comprised of the following:

Professional fees for the third quarter of 2017 decreased $268,000, or 16%, from the prior year third quarter and $711,000, or 14%, between the first nine months of 2017 and the first nine months of 2016. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees related to collections of special assets which correlated to the decrease in nonperforming assets and classified loans from December 31, 2016.
Data processing and software expense increased $351,000, or 47%, from the third quarter of 2016 and $827,000, or 33%, for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016. The increases were due to higher monthly fees which resulted in moving from an in-house core processing solution to a primarily outsourced solution.
The decrease in other expenses for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 was primarily related to the timing of payments for postage expense, coupled with the replacement of the previous vendor in 2016. The decrease in communication expense resulted from the continued consolidation of traditional phone lines to a method of transmitting all voice traffic over the internet and the discontinuation of overlapping traditional phone line contracts that occurred during the transition.
Income Tax Expense
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $13.4 million, for an effective tax rate of 31.2%. Peoples' current estimate is that the effective tax rate for the entire year of 2017 will be approximately 31.0% to 32.0%. In comparison, Peoples recorded an income tax expense of $10.8 million for the same period in 2016, for an effective tax rate of 31.2%.
47
Peoples adopted the ASU 2016-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting as of January 1, 2017. In the first nine months of 2017, Peoples recorded a tax benefit of $123,000 associated with the adoption of this ASU for the tax benefit of awards that settled or vested during the period.
Pre-Provision Net Revenue
Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by state and federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income (excluding all gains and all losses) minus total non-interest expense and, therefore, excludes the provision for (recovery of) loan losses and all gains and/or losses included in earnings. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital.

Core Non-Interest Expense
Core non-interest expense is a financial measure used to evaluate Peoples' recurring expense stream. This measure is non-GAAP since it excludes the impact of system conversion costs.

Efficiency Ratio
48
The efficiency ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of FTE net interest income plus total non-interest income (excluding all gains and all losses). This measure is non-GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and/or losses included in earnings, and uses FTE net interest income.

Return on Average Tangible Stockholders' Equity
The return on average tangible stockholders' equity ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The return on tangible stockholders' equity is calculated as net income (less after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by tangible stockholders' equity. This measure is non-GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets from earnings and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on total stockholders' equity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 30, 2017, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased $8.4 million from December 31, 2016. The total cash and cash equivalent balances included $10.3 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland at September 30, 2017, compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2016. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.
Through the first nine months of 2017, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased $3.9 million as Peoples' net cash provided by financing and operating activities of $128.1 million exceeded cash used in investing activities of $124.2 million. Peoples' investing activities reflected purchases of $142.1 million in available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities and a net increase of $99.8 million in loans, which were partially offset by $120.7 million in net proceeds from sales, principal payments, calls and prepayments on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities. Financing activities included a net increase of $154.9 million in deposits which was offset partially by a net decrease of $61.3 million in borrowings and $10.9 million of cash dividends paid.
Through the first nine months of 2016, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.3 million, as cash used in investing activities of $107.0 million exceeded cash provided by financing and operating activities of $61.6 million and $42.2 million, respectively. Peoples' investing activities reflected a $94.1 million net increase in loans and $35.0 million in BOLI, offset partially by $30.1 million in net proceeds from investment activities. The net proceeds from the investment portfolio reflected sales and principal payments, which outpaced purchases. Financing activities included a net increase in borrowings of $35.5 million and an increase of $39.6 million in deposits which were offset partially by cash dividends paid of $8.2 million and the purchase of $5.0 million of treasury stock.
Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

Peoples' investment in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities largely consists of securities either guaranteed by the U.S. government or issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The remaining portions of Peoples' mortgage-backed securities consist of securities issued by other entities, including other financial institutions, which are not guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Management continues to reinvest the principal runoff from the non-agency securities in U.S. agency investments, which accounted for the decline in the past year. At September 30, 2017, Peoples' non-agency portfolio consisted entirely of first lien residential mortgages, with nearly all of the underlying loans in these securities originated prior to 2004 and possessing fixed interest rates. Management continues to monitor the non-agency portfolio closely for leading indicators of increasing stress and will continue to be proactive in taking actions to mitigate such risk when necessary.

While commercial loans comprise the largest portion of Peoples Bank's loan portfolio, residential real estate lending remains a focus of Peoples Bank. The originated loans may either be retained in Peoples Bank's loan portfolio, or sold into the secondary market. Peoples Bank's portfolio of residential real estate loans comprised 21.4% of total loans at September 30, 2017, and 24.1% at December 31, 2016. Peoples Bank also had $3.7 million of residential real estate loans held for sale and was servicing $409.2 million of loans, consisting primarily of one-to-four family residential mortgages, previously sold
54
in the secondary market. Peoples Bank requires evidence of insurance at the time of the loan closing, and additionally, has a blanket insurance policy to cover residential real estate loans that do not include an insurance escrow account.
Period-end total loan balances at September 30, 2017 increased $32.7 million, or 6% annualized, compared to June 30, 2017. Indirect consumer lending continued to be a key component of loan growth, as balances increased $29.7 million, or 39% annualized, during the quarter. The growth in indirect consumer lending included continued diversification in the portfolio beyond automobile loans, including loans for recreational vehicles and motorcycles. Commercial loans grew $17.2 million, or 5% annualized, with commercial and industrial loans growing $12.5 million, or 12% annualized, during the quarter.
Compared to December 31, 2016, period-end loan balances at September 30, 2017 increased $102.1 million, or 6% annualized. Indirect consumer loan balances increased $83.0 million, or 44% annualized compared to December 31, 2016. Commercial real estate loans grew $36.4 million, or 6% annualized, while commercial and industrial loans grew $21.6 million, or 7% annualized, for the first nine months of 2017.
Loan Concentration
Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continued to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio. The following table provides information regarding the largest concentrations of commercial real estate loans within the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017:

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities inside its primary and secondary market areas within Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. In all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were not material at either September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The amount of the allowance for loan losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses incurred within the loan portfolio.
The following details management's allocation of the allowance for loan losses:

At September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses increased to $19.0 million, compared to $18.2 million at September 30, 2016 and $18.5 million at December 31, 2016. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans net of deferred fees and costs, was 0.82% at September 30, 2017, compared to 0.84% at September 30, 2016 and 0.83% at December 31, 2016. The continued decline in this ratio was primarily due to the stabilization of Peoples' asset quality metrics.
The significant allocations of allowance for loan losses to commercial loans reflect the higher credit risk associated with this type of lending and the size of this loan category in relationship to the entire loan portfolio. The allowance allocated to the residential real estate and consumer loan categories is based upon Peoples' allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans. The fluctuations in these allocations have been directionally consistent with the changes in loan quality, loss experience and loan balances in these categories.

The increase in total deposit balances compared to December 31, 2016 was primarily due to increases of $105.3 million in interest-bearing deposits, $53.0 million in brokered CDs and $38.2 million in governmental deposit accounts offset partially by a decrease of $9.6 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits. Shifts in balances occurred between non-interest-
59
bearing deposits and interest-bearing demand account balances as consumers are being migrated to new products during the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, of 2017. During this migration, customer accounts are evaluated based on certain characteristics, and some accounts that were traditionally non-interest-bearing deposits are being converted to interest-bearing demand accounts. The increase in brokered CDs was the result of adding relatively shorter term funding on the balance sheet while the increase in governmental deposit accounts was primarily due to seasonality.
Total demand deposit accounts comprised 42% of total deposits at September 30, 2017, compared to 40% at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and 39% at September 30, 2016. Peoples continues its deposit strategy of growing low-cost core deposits, such as checking and savings accounts, and reducing its reliance on higher-cost, non-core deposits, such as retail CDs.

Peoples' short-term FHLB advances generally consist of overnight borrowings maintained in connection with the management of Peoples' daily liquidity position. Peoples' short-term FHLB advances at September 30, 2017 increased $51.6 million and $84.6 million compared to June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The increase in short-term borrowings was to fund loan growth during the second and third quarters of 2017. Peoples continually evaluates the overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment.
Due to the interest rate environment, Peoples took action with respect to $80 million of long-term borrowings that were scheduled to mature in 2018, with interest rates ranging from 2.79% to 3.92%. During the first quarter of 2017, and throughout 2016, these actions included:
▪ | On January 27, 2017, Peoples entered into two $10.0 million forward starting interest rate swaps, which will become effective in 2018 and mature between 2025 and 2027, with interest rates ranging from 2.47% to 2.53%. |
▪ | During the fourth quarter of 2016, Peoples entered into two $5.0 million forward starting interest rate swaps, which become effective in 2018 and mature in 2022 and 2026, with interest rates of 1.56% and 1.83%. |
▪ | During the second quarter of 2016, Peoples executed the following transactions to take advantage of the low interest rates: |
• | Peoples restructured $20.0 million of FHLB borrowings that had a weighted-average rate of 2.97%, resulting in a $700,000 loss. Peoples replaced these borrowings with a long-term FHLB advance, which had an interest rate of 2.17% and matures in 2026. |
• | Peoples borrowed an additional $35.0 million of long-term FHLB amortizing advances, which had interest rates ranging from 1.08% to 1.40%, and mature between 2019 and 2031. |
• | Peoples entered into three $10.0 million forward starting interest rate swaps, which become effective in 2018 and mature between 2023 and 2025, with interest rates ranging from 1.49% to 1.56%. These swaps locked in funding rates for $40.0 million in FHLB advances that mature in 2018, which have interest rates ranging from 3.65% to 3.92% |
Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate swaps can be found in Note 9 of the Notes to the Unconsolidated Financial Statements.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity
At September 30, 2017, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under applicable banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain a strong capital position. During the first quarter of 2015, Peoples adopted the Basel III regulatory capital framework, as approved by the federal banking agencies. The adoption of this new framework modified the calculations and well capitalized thresholds of the existing risk-based capital ratios and added the new Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio. Additionally, under the new rules, in order to avoid limitations on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation, Peoples must exceed the three minimum required ratios by at least the capital conservation buffer. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.625% beginning January 1, 2016 to 2.50% by January 1, 2019, and applies to the Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. At September 30, 2017, Peoples' had a capital conservation buffer of 6.49%, compared to 2.50% for the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer required by January 1, 2019. As such, Peoples exceeded the minimum ratios including the capital conservation buffer at September 30, 2017.
The following table details Peoples' risk-based capital levels and corresponding ratios:

Peoples' capital ratios increased compared to June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, largely due to increased earnings which exceeded the dividends declared and paid during the periods, coupled with relatively stable net risk-weighted assets.
In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent non-GAAP financial measures since their calculation removes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for Peoples to incur losses but remain solvent.

The following table reconciles the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures to amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements:

Tangible equity to tangible assets | 9.20 | % | 9.07 | % | 8.98 | % | 8.80 | % | 9.13 | % | |||||
The increase in the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio at September 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was mostly due to higher net income, coupled with an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due to a slight recovery in the market value of investment securities.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset/liability management (“ALM”) function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows, and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the ALM function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets, and selection of appropriate funding sources.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk (“IRR”) is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can expose Peoples to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.
Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level of IRR. The methods used by the ALCO to assess IRR remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2016 Form 10-K.
The following table shows the estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity based upon a standard, parallel shock analysis (dollars in thousands):
62
Increase in Interest Rate | Estimated Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income | Estimated Decrease in Economic Value of Equity | |||||||||||||||||||||||
(in Basis Points) | September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||
300 | $ | 4,572 | 4.0 | % | $ | (1,100 | ) | (1.0 | )% | $ | (89,378 | ) | (13.1 | )% | $ | (88,004 | ) | (15.0 | )% | ||||||
200 | 3,805 | 3.3 | % | 83 | 0.1 | % | (60,496 | ) | (8.9 | )% | (57,925 | ) | (9.9 | )% | |||||||||||
100 | 2,496 | 2.2 | % | 603 | 0.6 | % | (29,942 | ) | (4.4 | )% | (27,441 | ) | (4.7 | )% | |||||||||||
Estimated changes in net interest income and economic value of equity are partially driven by assumptions regarding the rate at which non-maturity deposits will reprice given a move in short-term interest rates. These assumptions are monitored closely by Peoples and were last updated in May 2017.
At September 30, 2017, Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet remained positioned for a rising interest rate environment, as illustrated by the potential increase in net interest income shown in the above table. While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet, interest rates typically move in a non-parallel manner, with differences in the timing, direction and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any benefit that could occur as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates in future quarters could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates.
Peoples entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2017, Peoples had seven interest rate swaps with a notional value of $60.0 million.
Liquidity
In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. The methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' liquidity position remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2016 Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2017, Peoples had liquid assets of $173.5 million, which represented 4.4% of total assets and unfunded commitments. This amount exceeded the minimal level by $94.6 million, or 2.4% of total loans and unfunded commitments, currently required under Peoples' liquidity policy. Peoples also had an additional $71.6 million of unpledged investment securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.
Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flows from the investment portfolio, along with the availability of other funding sources, will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, Peoples is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of Peoples' customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Peoples has in these financial instruments.
Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Peoples' customers. Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by Peoples Bank guaranteeing the beneficiary payment by Peoples Bank in the event of default by Peoples Bank's customer in the performance of an obligation or service. Historically, most loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire unused. Peoples' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Peoples uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Peoples routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the consolidated financial statements. These activities are part of Peoples' normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional
63
capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.
The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information called for by this Item 3 is provided under the caption “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity” under “ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION” in this Form 10-Q, and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Peoples' management, with the participation of Peoples' President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:
(a) | information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Peoples’ management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; |
(b) | information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and |
(c) | Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Peoples' internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Peoples' fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be. However, based on management's current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The accounting treatment of the interest rate swaps entered into by Peoples as part of its interest rate management strategy, may change if the hedging relationship is not as effective as currently anticipated. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of September 30, 2017, Peoples had 7 interest rate swaps with a notional value of $60.0 million. The swaps become effective in 2018, roughly to coincide with the maturity of existing FHLB advances.
Although Peoples expects that the hedging relationship will be highly effective as described above, it has not assumed that there will be no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship. As of September 30, 2017, the termination value of derivatives in a net asset position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $0.9 million. As of September 30, 2017, Peoples has no minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $6.0 million against its obligations under these agreements. If Peoples had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2017, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.
There have been no other material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Peoples’ 2016 Form 10-K. Those risk factors are not the only risks Peoples faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Peoples’ business, financial condition and/or operating results.
