Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements ****

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning and protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

● statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
● statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
--- ---
● statements regarding the current global COVID-19 pandemic;
--- ---
● statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
● estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
--- ---

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of the management of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) and Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

● changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;
● the negative impacts and disruptions resulting from the continuing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the steps taken by governmental and other authorities to contain, mitigate and combat the pandemic, on the economies and communities we serve, which may likely have an adverse impact on our credit portfolio, goodwill, stock price, borrowers and the economy as a whole both globally and domestically;
--- ---
● local, regional, national and international economic and market conditions and events and the impact they may have on us, our customers and our assets and liabilities;
● competition among depository and other financial institutions;
--- ---
● risks related to the concentration of our business in Montana, including risks associated with changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana;
--- ---
● inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
--- ---
● our ability to attract deposits and other sources of funding or liquidity;
--- ---
● changes or volatility in the securities markets;
--- ---
● our ability to implement our growth strategy, including identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions, raising additional capital to finance such transactions, entering new markets, possible failures in realizing the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions and an inability of our personnel, systems and infrastructure to keep pace with such growth;
--- ---
● the effect of acquisitions we may make, if any, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;
--- ---
● risks related to the integration of any businesses we have acquired or expect to acquire, including exposure to potential asset quality and credit quality risks and unknown or contingent liabilities, the time and costs associated with integrating systems, technology platforms, procedures and personnel;
--- ---
● potential impairment on the goodwill we have recorded or may record in connection with business acquisitions;
--- ---
● political developments, uncertainties or instability;
--- ---
● our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
--- ---
● the need to retain capital for strategic or regulatory reasons;
● changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
● our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans;
● possible impairments of securities held by us, including those issued by government entities and government sponsored enterprises;
--- ---
● the level of future deposit insurance premium assessments;
--- ---
● our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable information technology systems, effectively defend ourselves against cyberattacks, or recover from breaches to our cybersecurity infrastructure;
--- ---
● the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates;
--- ---
● changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and
--- ---
● the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.
--- ---

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see the Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and other filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation that holds 100% of the capital stock of Opportunity Bank of Montana (“OBMT” or the “Bank”), formerly American Federal Savings Bank (“AFSB”). The Bank was founded in 1922 as a Montana chartered building and loan association and has conducted operations and maintained its administrative office in Helena, Montana since that time. In 1975, the Bank adopted a federal thrift charter and in October 2014 converted to a Montana chartered commercial bank and became a member bank in the Federal Reserve System.

In September 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TwinCo, Inc. ("TwinCo"), a Montana corporation, and TwinCo’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ruby Valley Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank to acquire 100% of TwinCo’s equity voting interests. On January 31, 2018, TwinCo merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. Ruby Valley Bank operated two branches in Madison County, Montana.

In August 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc. (“BMB”), a Montana corporation and BMB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The State Bank of Townsend (“SBOT”), a Montana chartered commercial bank to acquire 100% of BMB’s equity voting interests. On January 1, 2019, BMB merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. SBOT operated four branches in Townsend, Dutton, Denton and Choteau, Montana.

In  *August 2019,*the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Western Holding Company of Wolf Point (“WHC”), a Montana corporation, and WHC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point, a Montana chartered commercial bank (“WB”). The Merger Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, WHC would merge with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The merger closed on  *January 1, 2020.*WB operated one branch in Wolf Point, Montana. In addition, Western Financial Services, Inc. ("WFS") was acquired through the WHC merger. WFS facilitates deferred payment contracts for Bank customers that produce agricultural products.

The Bank currently has 23 full service branches. The Bank’s principal business is accepting deposits and, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, investing in various types of loans and securities. The Bank also operates certain branches under the names Dutton State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Denton and The State Bank of Townsend.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2021. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended  June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending  December 31, 2021or any other period. In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Eagle, the Bank, Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and WFS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2021. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Recent Events

The Company completed a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer") in June 2021. The Company accepted for purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $24.00 per share on June 23, 2021. The aggregate purchase price for the shares purchased in the Tender Offer was approximately $6,279,000, including fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer. Therefore, the total price including fees and expenses was $25.12 per share.

The Company sold 251,256 shares of common stock to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") at a price of $23.88 per share on June 23, 2021. The shares were purchased from Eagle by the ESOP in exchange for a loan totaling $6,000,000. The loan has a ten-year term and bears interest at 3.00%. The shares held by the ESOP will be used for allocations to employees of the Company over a ten-year period.

Subsequent Events ******

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to  June 30, 2021 for recognition and/or disclosure.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Effective January 1, 2020, Eagle completed its previously announced merger with WHC. At the effective time of the Merger, WHC merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. The acquisition closed after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of WHC shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $14,967,000 and included cash consideration of $6,500,000 and common stock issued of $8,467,000.

This transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

All of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combinations were expensed as incurred. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is a complicated process involving significant judgement regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, consideration paid and the resulting goodwill.

Goodwill resulting from acquisition $ 4,962

Goodwill recorded for the WHC acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2020was $4,962,000.

WHC investments were written up $425,000 to fair value on the date of acquisition based on market prices obtained from an independent third party.

NOTE 2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS – continued

For acquisitions, the fair value analysis of the loan portfolios resulted in a valuation adjustment for each loan based on an amortization schedule of expected cash flow. Individual amortization schedules were used for each loan over a certain amount and those with specifically identified loss exposure. The remainder of the loans were grouped by type and risk rating into loan pools (based on loan type, fixed or variable interest rate, revolving or term payments and risk rating). Yield inputs for the amortization schedules included contractual interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, liquidity adjustments and market yields. Credit inputs for the amortization schedules included probability of payment default, loss given default rates and individually identified loss exposure.

The total accretable discount on WHC acquired loans was $1,166,000 as of January 1, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, accretion of the loan discount was $560,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, accretion of the loan discount was $59,000 and $107,000, respectively.  The remaining accretable loan discount was $499,000 as of June 30, 2021. One impaired loan was acquired through the WHC acquisition with an insignificant balance as of January 1, 2020.

Fair value adjustments of $590,000 were recorded for WHC related to premises and equipment. The Company used independent third party appraisals in the determination of the fair value of acquired assets.

Core deposit intangible assets of $208,000 were recorded for WHC and are being amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related deposits of 10 years from date of acquisition. For acquisitions, the core deposit intangible value is a function of the difference between the cost of the acquired core deposits and the alternative cost of funds. These cash flow streams were discounted to present value. The fair value of other deposit accounts acquired were valued by estimating future cash flows to be received or paid from individual or homogenous groups of assets and liabilities and then discounting those cash flows to a present value using rates of return that were available in financial markets for similar financial instruments on or near the acquisition date.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. There wereno acquisition costs recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company recorded acquisition costs related to WHC of $157,000 during the year ended  December 31, 2020. Acquisition costs included professional fees and data processing expenses incurred related to the acquisitions.

Operations of acquired entities have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since date of acquisition. The Company does not consider them as separate reporting segments and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from acquisition date through June 30, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of WHC since the January 1, 2020 acquisition date.

Unrealized losses associated with investments are believed to be caused by changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities and not due to concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. The Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. Based on the Company's evaluation of these securities, no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020. As of  June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were, respectively, 21 and 8 securities in unrealized loss positions that were considered to be temporarily impaired and therefore an impairment charge has not been recorded.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is considered insignificant. Interest payments received on a cash basis related to impaired loans were $398,000 and $327,000 for  June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As of  June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loans of $1,803,000 and $1,824,000, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were no new TDR loans. During the six months ended  June 30, 2021 there was one new TDR loan. The recorded investment for the commercial real estate loan at time of restructure was $115,000. No charge-offs were incurred and the loan is on accrual status. The recorded investment was $111,000 at  June 30, 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were two new TDR loans. During the six months ended  June 30, 2020, there were three new TDR loans. The recorded investments at the time of restructure were $94,000 for a commercial construction and development loan, $1,634,000 for a commercial real estate loan, and $160,000 for an agricultural loan. The commercial construction and development loan was paid off during the six months ended June 30, 2021. No charge-offs were incurred for the remaining loans and they are on accrual status. The recorded investments for the remaining loans at June 30, 2021 were $1,597,000 and $79,000, respectively.

There were no loans modified as TDR's that defaulted during the three and six months ended  June 30, 2021 where the default occurred within 12 months of restructuring. A default for purposes of this disclosure is a TDR loan in which the borrower is 90 days past due or results in the foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to loan customers whose terms had been modified in troubled debt restructures.

The Company has offered borrowers accommodations due to the impact from COVID-19, including 90-day deferrals, interest only payments and forbearances, which are not considered TDR's as they met the criteria established in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). In addition, the Montana Board of Investments ("MBOI") offered 12-months of interest payment assistance to qualified borrowers. As of June 30, 2021, 28 borrowers with modified loans represented $17,517,000. As of  December 31, 2020, loan modifications for 40 borrowers represented $28,994,000.

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company enters into commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans. The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in fair values of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale. An optimal amount of mortgage loans are sold directly into bulk commitments with investors at the time an interest rate is locked, other loans are sold on an individual best efforts basis at the time an interest rate is locked, and the remaining balance of locked loans are hedged using To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities or bulk mandatory forward loan sale commitments.

Derivatives are accounted for as free-standing or economic derivatives and are measured at fair value. Derivatives are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of condition.

Derivatives are summarized as follows:

June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Notional Fair Value Notional Fair Value
Amount Asset Liability Amount Asset Liability
(In Thousands)
Interest rate lock commitments $ 148,507 $ 2,949 $ - $ 227,977 $ 6,017 $ -
Forward TBA mortgage-backed securities 84,000 - 314 180,000 - 1,056

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking, net within noninterest income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Net losses of $1,043,000 were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net gains of $2,155,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net losses of $2,326,000 were recorded for the six months ended  June 30, 2021 compared to net gains of $3,402,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are grouped in three levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

■ Level 1 Inputs – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
■ Level 2 Inputs – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
--- ---
■ Level 3 Inputs – Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that may include significant management judgment and estimation.
--- ---

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy at the reporting date, is set forth below.

Available-for-Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 (nationally recognized securities exchanges) and Level 2 inputs. For level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include but is not limited to dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions.

Loans Held-for-Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on committed sales contracts and commitments of similar loans if not already committed and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Derivative Instruments – The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments, forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments and adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. Interest rate lock commitments are considered Level 3 inputs and forward TBA mortgage-backed securities and mandatory forward commitments are considered Level 2 inputs.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral or using a discounted cash flow if the loan is not collateral dependent. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets – Fair values are determined at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and are considered Level 3 inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated periodically for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Mortgage Servicing Rights ****** – The fair value of mortgage servicing rights are estimated using net present value of expected cash flows based on a third party model that incorporates industry assumptions and is adjusted for factors such as prepayment speeds and are considered Level 3 inputs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) to remove disclosure requirements that no longer are considered cost beneficial, modify/clarify specific requirements of certain disclosures and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendment became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ******

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The standard requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the standard amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

In October 2019, the FASB amended the effective date of the standard. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach).

The Company believes the amendments in this update will have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and is continuing to evaluate the significance of that impact, even though the adoption date has been deferred. In that regard, we have established a working group composed of individuals from the finance and credit administration areas of the Company. We are currently developing an implementation plan, including assessment of processes, segmentation of the loan portfolio and identifying and adding data fields necessary for analysis. The adoption of this standard is likely to result in an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model to an “expected loss” model. While we currently cannot reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this standard, we expect the impact will be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios, as well as the general economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) to amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing to eliminate Step 2 from the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 and adoption of the standard is being evaluated to assess the impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate such as SOFR. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the date of adoption and the potential impact.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview ****

The Company’s primary business activity is the ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Montana chartered commercial bank that focuses on both consumer and commercial lending. It engages in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities. The Bank’s primary component of earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the difference between interest income and interest expense. The net interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by changes in market interest rates. The Bank also generates noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of loans.

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with a large portion of its loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages, which has enabled it to successfully market home equity loans, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). The Bank has also focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. We have made significant progress in this initiative. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s dependence on the residential mortgage market, as well as to improve our ability to manage our interest rate spread. Recent acquisitions have added to our agricultural loans, which generally have shorter maturities and nominally higher interest rates. This has provided additional interest income and improved interest rate sensitivity. The Bank’s management recognizes that fee income will also enable it to be less dependent on specialized lending and it now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio which provides a steady source of fee income. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from deposit accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits and certificates of deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise. Gain on sale of loans also provides significant noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Such income will be adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity.

Management continues to focus on improving the Bank’s earnings. Management believes the Bank needs to continue to concentrate on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income and control of operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as follows: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base should yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the statement of financial condition in an efficient manner. Though deposit growth has been steady, it may become more difficult to maintain due to significant competition and possible reduced customer demand for deposits as customers may shift into other asset classes.

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well. The Federal Open Market Committee changed the federal funds target rate from 1.75% to 0.25% during the year ended December 31, 2020. The rate remained at 0.25% during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The rate reductions add continued pressure on loan yields.

Recent Events

Tender Offer

The Company completed a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer") in June 2021. The Company accepted for purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $24.00 per share on June 23, 2021. The aggregate purchase price for the shares purchased in the Tender Offer was approximately $6.28 million, including fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer. Therefore, the total price including fees and expenses was $25.12 per share.

The Company sold 251,256 shares of common stock to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") at a price of $23.88 per share on June 23, 2021. The shares were purchased from Eagle by the ESOP in exchange for a loan totaling $6.00 million. The loan has a ten-year term and bears interest at 3.00%. The shares held by the ESOP will be used for allocations to employees of the Company over a ten-year period.

### COVID-19

The Company’s performance for the second quarter of 2021 extended the momentum from the first quarter of 2021, generating solid earnings supported by net interest income growth and higher loan production. However, the Company continues to see the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences on our Montana communities. The Bank remains focused on supporting our customers, communities and employees while prudently managing risk. The Bank is also still closely monitoring borrowers and businesses serviced and is providing debt service relief for those that have been impacted.

Recent Events**–** continued

### COVID-19 – continued

On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) providing economic relief for the country, including the $349 billion Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) to fund short-term loans for small businesses. In April 2020, additional funding was approved for the PPP. Eagle began taking loan applications from its small business clients immediately after the program was implemented, and as of the close of the program, had helped 764 customers receive $45.71 million in SBA PPP loans. The Bank has processed applications for PPP loan forgiveness for customers, with 682 loans representing $39.78 million now paid in full. The remaining 82 PPP loans represent $5.93 million.

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) was signed into law, providing new COVID-19 stimulus relief, and it included $284 billion allocated for another round of PPP lending, extending the program to March 31, 2021. On March 31, 2021, the program was extended to May 31, 2021. The program offers new PPP loans for companies that did not receive a PPP loan in 2020, and also “second draw” loans targeted at hard-hit businesses that have already spent their initial PPP proceeds. As of the close of the program, Eagle supported 646 borrowers receiving $19.51 million in new PPP funding. The Bank has processed applications for PPP loan forgiveness for customers, with 142 loans representing $2.81 million now paid in full. The remaining 504 PPP loans represent $16.70 million.

While all industries have and may continue to experience adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had exposures in the following impacted industries, as a percentage of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale and PPP loans as of June 30, 2021: hotels and lodging (5.7%), health and social assistance (3.8%), bars and restaurants (2.7%), casinos (1.0%) and nursing homes (0.5%). The Bank continues to reach out to specific borrowers to assess the risks and understand their needs.

The Bank has offered multiple accommodation options to its clients, including 90-day deferrals, forbearances and interest only payments. In addition, the Montana Board of Investments ("MBOI") offered 12-months of interest payment assistance to qualified borrowers. As of June 30, 2021, remaining loan modifications for 28 nonresidential borrowers represented $17.52 million in loans, or 2.0% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, compared to 40 borrowers representing $29.00 million, or 3.5% of gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, as of December 31, 2020. The Bank qualified 32 borrowers for the MBOI program representing $27.25 million in loans, of which $17.42 million is included in modification totals as of June 30, 2021. No loans approved in the MBOI loan program were considered a troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loan as of June 30, 2021 Only one loan in the hotel and lodging industry was approved in the MBOI loan program and was considered a TDR loan as of December 31, 2020. This loan has since aged out of the MBOI program. No other loans that had been modified related to COVID-19 were reported as TDR’s due to the CARES Act exemption. As of June 30, 2021, there remain approximately 21 forbearances approved for residential mortgage loans, of which 19 are sold and serviced. Utilization of credit lines were 80.2% at June 30, 2021 compared to 82.7% at December 31, 2020, which aligns with historical usage rates.

Our fee income could still be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, early withdrawal fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the expected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact our fee income in future periods.

As of June 30, 2021, our capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt. If our capital deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, we do not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

As of December 31, 2020, our goodwill was not impaired. COVID-19 could cause a decline in our stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a noncash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2021 we had goodwill of $20.80 million.

The State of Montana ended their phased approach to reopening and lifted the state-wide mask mandate on February 12, 2021. On March 22, 2021, all of our lobbies opened while still requiring everyone to practice necessary safeguards. As of May 7, 2021, masks were no longer required for the Bank's branches, customers or vendors. The Company remains committed to assisting our customers and communities as the vaccine rollout continues and COVID-19 restrictions lift in Montana. Management is encouraging its employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine upon availability.

Acquisitions

The Bank has used growth through mergers or acquisition in addition to its strategy of organic growth. In January 2020, Eagle acquired Western Holding Company of Wolf Point ("WHC"), a Montana corporation, and WHC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point ("WB"), a Montana chartered commercial bank. In the transaction, Eagle acquired one retail bank branch in Wolf Point, Montana.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are between June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Total assets were $1.36 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $101.73 million, or 8.1% from $1.26 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was largely due to an increase in securities available-for-sale and loans receivable, net. Securities available-for-sale increased by $71.04 million from December 31, 2020. Loans receivable, net increased by $32.53 million from December 31, 2020. Total liabilities were $1.21 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $101.91 million, or 9.2%, from $1.10 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was largely due to an increase in deposits, partially offset by a reduction in FHLB advances and other borrowings. Total deposits increased by $112.52 million from December 31, 2020. However, FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased $7.77 million from December 31, 2020. Total shareholders’ equity decreased slightly by $194,000 from December 31, 2020.

Loans receivable, netincreased  $32.53 million, or 3.9%, to $862.03 million at June 30, 2021 from $829.50 million at December 31, 2020. Total commercial real estate loans increased $50.03 million and total commercial loans increased $1.03 million. However, these increases were partially offset by decreases in total residential loans of  $15.47 million, consumer loans of $1.31 million, and home equity loans of $824,000.

Total loan originations were $785.74 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Total residential 1-4 family originations were $590.48 million, which includes $558.17 million of loans held-for-sale originations. Total commercial real estate originations were $118.72 million. Total commercial originations were $62.85 million which includes $19.51 million of SBA PPP loans. Home equity loan originations totaled $9.78 million. Consumer loan originations totaled $3.91 million. Loans held-for-sale increased by $2.21 million to $56.83 million at June 30, 2021 from $54.62 million at December 31, 2020.

Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days delinquent, the borrower is sent a past due notice. If the loan becomes 30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquency notice requiring payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.

For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions. If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair market value less estimated selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations. As of June 30, 2021 there was $6,000 of real estate owned and other repossessed property. As of December 31, 2020, there was $25,000 of real estate owned and other repossessed property.

The State of Montana placed a freeze on foreclosures on March 28, 2020. Subsequently it released the freeze effective May 24, 2020 with the exception of continued protection for those individuals deemed vulnerable to the coronavirus. The Federal foreclosure moratorium that began March 18, 2020 was extended to June 30, 2021. However, the Bank has had minimal impact due to foreclosures affected by these freezes.

However, certificates of deposit decreased by $14.49 million. The decrease in time certificates of deposit was driven by a decrease in other certificates of $14.65 million. Due to the continued low interest rate environment, some depositors have been compelled to move funds from other certificates to non-maturity deposits upon maturity.

Total borrowings decreased by $7.73 million, or 16.5% to $39.13 million at June 30, 2021 from $46.86 million at December 31, 2020. This decrease is largely due to a decrease in FHLB advances and other borrowings of  $7.77 million due to maturities.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity decreased slightly by $194,000, or 0.1%, to $152.74 million at June 30, 2021 from $152.94 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to treasury stock purchased through tender offer for $6.28 million, dividends paid of $1.32 million and other comprehensive loss of $913,000. These decreases were largely offset by net income of $7.95 million.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Bank’s earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the single largest component of Eagle’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and investments and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings (the “interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments and interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

The following table includes average balances for financial condition items, as well as, interest and dividends and average yields related to the average balances. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields include the effect of deferred fees and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.68 million compared to $5.74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $3.06 million was largely due to an increase in noninterest expense of $3.91 million and a decrease in noninterest income of $2.39 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $2.10 million and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $1.14 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.40 and $0.39 for the current period, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.84 for the prior year comparable period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $11.33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $10.42 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase of $902,000, or 8.7%, was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $910,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was consistent period over period. Interest and fees on loans decreased slightly to $11.01 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $11.06 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease of $48,000, or 0.4%, was due to decrease in the average yield of loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 largely offset by an increase in the average balance of loans. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 20 basis points, from 5.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 4.91% for the current period. Interest accretion on purchased loans was $125,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 which resulted in a 4 basis point increase in net interest margin compared to $356,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 which resulted in a 13 basis point increase in net interest margin. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $899.64 million, compared to $867.37 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $32.27 million, or 3.7% and was impacted by PPP loans and organic growth. Interest on investment securities available-for-sale increased by $66,000, or 6.9% period over period. Average balances for investments increased to $203.87 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $170.15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Investments have increased in the current period due to excess liquidity. However, average interest rates earned on investments decreased to 2.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 2.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $800,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $910,000 or 53.2% was due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $579,000, as well as a net decrease in interest expense on total borrowings of $331,000. The overall average rate on total deposits was 0.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, the average balance for total deposits was $1.12 billion for three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $931.66 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was impacted by PPP funding and economic stimulus. The average balance for total borrowings decreased from $126.40 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $39.71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to increased liquidity levels. However, the average rate paid on total borrowings increased from 2.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, to 4.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the average rate paid is due to the change in the mix of the outstanding borrowings.

Loan Loss Provision. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending we conduct and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. Using this methodology, the Bank recorded $22,000 in loan loss provisions for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Management made the decision that due to the strength of the local economy, in conjunction with loan activity, no additional loan loss provision was necessary in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when considering the COVID-19 pandemic. Loan loss provisions were $1.23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which included $777,000 related to the potential impact of Covid-19. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. However, if the economic forecast worsens relative to the assumptions we utilized, our allowance for credit losses will increase accordingly in future periods.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income was $11.31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $13.70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $2.39 million was impacted by a decrease in mortgage banking, net of $1.35 million. In addition, the prior period included a gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.07 million and there was no sale activity in the current period. Mortgage banking, net includes net gain on sale of mortgage loans which increased $2.56 million compared to the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, $292.09 million residential mortgage loans were sold compared to $222.23 million in the same period in the prior year. Mortgage banking, net also includes the impact of changes fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives. The net change in fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives was a loss of $513,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a gain of $3.70 million for the same period in the prior year.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $19.04 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $15.13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $3.91 million or 25.8% is largely due to increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $3.48 million. The increase in salaries expense is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to mortgage loan growth, as well as overall increased staff levels. Mortgage compensation and benefits increased $2.86 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes . Provision for income taxes was $893,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to decreased income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 25.0% compared to 26.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Income. Eagle’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $7.95 million compared to $9.66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $1.71 million was impacted by an increase in noninterest expense of $8.27 million. This increase was largely offset by an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $3.14 million, an increase in noninterest income of $2.70 million and decrease in provision for income taxes of $714,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $1.17 for the current period. Basic earnings per share was $1.42 and diluted earnings per share was $1.41 for the prior period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $22.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $20.90 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase of $1.56 million, or 7.5%, was the result of a decrease in interest expense of $2.20 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income of $638,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was $24.13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $24.76 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $638,000, or 2.5%. Interest and fees on loansdecreased to $22.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $22.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This slight decrease of $451,000, or 2.0%, was due to a decrease in the average yield of loans, largely offset by an increase in the average balance of loans. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 31 basis points, from 5.28% to 4.97%. Interest accretion on purchased loans was $314,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 which resulted in a 5 basis point increase in net interest margin compared to $914,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 which resulted in a 17 basis point increase in net interest margin. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $894.84 million, compared to $853.90 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $40.94 million, or 4.8% and was impacted by organic growth and PPP funding. Interest on investment securities available-for-saledecreased by $84,000, or 4.2% period over period. Average interest rates earned on investments decreased to 2.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 2.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. However, average balances for investments increased to $183.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $170.71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Investments have increased in the current period due to excess liquidity.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $1.66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $3.86 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $2.20 million or 57.0% was due to a decrease of $1.51 million in interest expense on deposits and a net decrease of $686,000 in interest expense on total borrowings. The overall average rate on total deposits was 0.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. However, the average balance for total deposits was $1.09 billion for six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $911.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was impacted by PPP funding and economic stimulus. The average balance for total borrowings decreased from $119.58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $42.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, the average rate paid on total borrowings increased from 2.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to 4.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the average rate paid is due to the change in the mix of the outstanding borrowings.

Loan Loss Provision. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by the Bank to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending we conduct and past due loans in portfolio. The Bank’s policies require the review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. Using this methodology, the Bank recorded $321,000 in loan loss provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Management made the decision that due to the strength of the local economy, in conjunction with loan activity, no additional loan loss provision was necessary in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when considering the COVID-19 pandemic. Loan loss provisions were $1.90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which included $997,000 related to the potential impact of Covid-19. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. However, if the economic forecast worsens relative to the assumptions we utilized in June our allowance for credit losses will increase accordingly in future periods. Total nonperforming loans, including restructured loans, net, was $8.78 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $8.47 million at December 31, 2020. The Bank had $6,000 in other real estate owned and other repossessed assets at June 30, 2021 compared to $25,000 at December 31, 2020.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income was $24.70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $22.00 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $2.70 million is largely due to an increase in mortgage banking, net of $3.41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Mortgage banking, net includes net gain on sale of mortgage loans which increased $11.43 million compared to the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $552.58 million residential mortgage loans were sold compared to $354.35 million in the same period in the prior year. In addition, gross margin on sale of mortgage loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 4.48% compared to 3.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Mortgage banking, net also includes the impact of changes fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives. The net change in fair value of loans held-for-sale and derivatives was a loss of $2.97 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a gain of $5.08 million for the same period in the prior year. The prior period also included a gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.07 million and there was no sale activity in the current period.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $36.25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $27.98 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of  $8.27 million or 29.6% was largely driven by increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $7.88 million. The increase in salaries expense is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to mortgage loan growth, as well as overall increased staff levels. Mortgage compensation and benefits increased $6.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $2.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to decreased income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 25.0% compared to 25.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources ****

Liquidity

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Montana Division of Banking and FRB regulations. The liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and that appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with the FHLB of Des Moines. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations, advances from the FHLB of Des Moines and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals. In addition, the Bank uses liquidity resources for investment purposes, to meet operating expenses and capital expenditures, and maintain adequate liquidity levels.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on Eagle’s commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of Eagle’s ability to generate funds.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2021, liquidity levels remained strong, as a result of PPP loan payoffs and deposit growth. A portion of the excess funds was deployed into investment securities.

Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, the Bank’s internally determined measurement of sensitivity to interest rate movements as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, increased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 25.0% compared to an increase of 15.0% at December 31, 2020. The Bank is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity in rising interest rate scenarios.

The Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank is deemed "well capitalized" pursuant to State of Montana and FRB rules as of June 30, 2021. The Bank's Tier I leverage ratio decreased slightly from 11.72% as of December 31, 2020 to 11.40% as of June 30, 2021, compared to a regulatory requirement of 4.00%. The Bank’s total capital, Tier 1 capital and common equity Tier 1 capital leverage ratios were 16.18%, 14.97% and 14.97%, respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 10.50%, 8.50% and 7.00%, respectively. All of these ratios with the exception of the Tier 1 leverage ratio include the capital conservation buffer of 2.50%. The Bank’s capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are found in Part I, Item 1, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of future earnings resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Interest rate risk results from several factors and could have a significant impact on the Company’s net interest income, which is the Company primary source of net income. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest fluctuations on asset prepayments and the mix of interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

Although interest rate risk is inherent in the banking industry, banks are expected to have sound risk management practices in place to measure, monitor and control interest rate exposures. The objective of interest rate risk management is to contain the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. The process involves identification and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates.

The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability committee, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Bank’s asset/liability committee. In this capacity, the asset/liability committee develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends. The Company’s goal of its asset and liability management practices is to maintain or increase the level of net interest income within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. Our asset and liability policy and strategies are expected to continue as described so long as competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial institution industry and market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.

The Bank has established acceptable levels of interest rate risk as follows for an instantaneous and permanent shock in rates: Projected net interest income over the next twelve months (i.e. year-1) and the subsequent twelve months (i.e. year-2) will not be reduced by more than 15.0% given an immediate increase in interest rates of up to 200 basis points or by more than 10.0% given an immediate decrease in interest rates of up to 100 basis points.

The following table includes the Bank’s net interest income sensitivity analysis.

Changes in Market Rate Sensitivity

(Basis Points) Year 1 Year 2 Limits
+200 8.00% 12.30% -15.00%
