NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) of Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Berkshire”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is a Delaware corporation, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and the holding company for Berkshire Bank (the “Bank”), a Massachusetts-chartered trust company headquartered in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date these financial statements were issued.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared according to GAAP have been omitted.

The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and disclosures Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Refer to Note 9 – Other Commitments, Contingencies, Off-Balance Sheet Activities, and Pandemic Impact for pandemic related risks and uncertainties.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

There were no new applicable material accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company since December 31, 2021.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method.” The guidance expands the current last-of-layer method to allow multiple hedge layers of a single closed portfolio (renamed to portfolio layer method) and expands the portfolio layer method to include nonprepayable financial assets. The ASU specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge and provides additional guidance on accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments that are applicable to the portfolio layer method. Further, hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for assets included in the closed portfolio. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating; however, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” The ASU eliminates the troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting model that was adopted with Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” and enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The ASU requires prospective disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the Company can elect to adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is still evaluating; however, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2.           TRADING SECURITY

The Company holds a tax-advantaged economic development bond accounted for at fair value. The security had an amortized cost of $7.5 million and $7.9 million, and a fair value of $7.0 million and $8.4 million, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As discussed further in Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities, the Company entered into a swap contract to swap-out the fixed rate of the security in exchange for a variable rate. The Company does not purchase securities with the intent of selling them in the near term, and there were no other securities in the trading portfolio at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Credit Quality Information

The Company monitors the credit quality of held to maturity securities through credit ratings from various rating agencies. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security and are utilized by the Company to make informed decisions. Investment grade securities are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher and generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. For securities without credit ratings, the Company utilizes other financial information indicating the financial health of the underlying municipality, agency, or organization.

As of June 30, 2022, none of the Company's investment securities were delinquent or in non-accrual status.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available for sale (“AFS”) and held to maturity (“HTM”) securities segregated by contractual maturity at June 30, 2022 are presented below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Mortgage-backed securities are shown in total, as their maturities are highly variable.

Debt Securities

The Company expects to recover its amortized cost basis on all debt securities in its AFS and HTM portfolios. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2022, prior to this recovery. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low portfolio turnover.

The following summarizes, by investment security type, the basis for the conclusion that the debt securities in an unrealized loss position within the Company’s AFS and HTM portfolios were not other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2022:

AFS U.S Treasuries

At June 30, 2022, 4 of the 4 securities in the Company’s portfolio of U.S Treasuries were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 0.1% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The securities are all investment grade rated, and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

AFS municipal bonds and obligations

At June 30, 2022, 32 of the 97 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS municipal bonds and obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 7.1% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Company continually monitors the municipal bond sector of the market carefully and periodically evaluates the appropriate level of exposure to the market. At this time, the Company feels the bonds in this portfolio carry minimal risk of default and the Company is appropriately compensated for that risk. There were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

AFS collateralized mortgage obligations

At June 30, 2022, 240 of the 251 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS collateralized mortgage obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 9.5% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) guarantee the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

AFS commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities

At June 30, 2022, 121 of the 139 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 10.1% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA guarantee the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

AFS corporate bonds

At June 30, 2022, 10 of the 14 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS corporate bonds were in an unrealized loss position. Aggregate unrealized losses represents 4.1% of the amortized cost of the bond in an unrealized loss position. The Company reviews the financial strength of all of these bonds and has concluded that the amortized cost remains supported by the expected future cash flows of these securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Construction - Loans in this segment primarily include real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property or long term financing at completion. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

Commercial real estate multifamily, owner occupied and non-owner - Loans in these segments are primarily owner-occupied or income-producing properties throughout New England and Northeastern New York. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Commercial and industrial loans - Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business such as accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, other liquid collateral, equipment and other business assets. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. Loans in this segment include asset based loans which generally have no scheduled repayment and which are closely monitored against formula based collateral advance ratios. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Residential real estate - All loans in this segment are collateralized by residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Home equity and other consumer loans - Loans in this segment are primarily home equity lines of credit, automobile loans and other consumer loans. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans

The Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans (“ACLL”) is comprised of the allowance for loan losses, and the allowance for unfunded commitments is accounted for as a separate liability in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The level of the ACLL represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date. The Company uses a static pool migration analysis method, applying expected historical loss trend and observed economic metrics. The level of the ACLL is based on management’s ongoing review of all relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past and current events, utilizing a 7 quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a 1 year reversion period. The ACLL reserve is overlaid with qualitative factors based upon:

•the existence and growth of concentrations of credit;

•the volume and severity of past due financial assets, including nonaccrual assets;

•the institutions lending and credit review as well as the experience and ability of relevant management and staff and;

•the effect of other external factors such as regulatory, competition, regional market conditions, legal and technological environment and other events such as natural disasters;

•the effect of other economic factors such as economic stimulus and customer forbearance programs.

The allowance for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level by the Company to be sufficient to absorb expected lifetime losses related to unfunded credit facilities (including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit) and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Credit Quality Information

The Company monitors the credit quality of its portfolio by using internal risk ratings that are based on regulatory guidance. Loans that are given a Pass rating are not considered a problem credit. Loans that are classified as Special Mention loans are considered to have potential weaknesses and are evaluated closely by management. Substandard, including non-accruing loans, are loans for which a definitive weakness has been identified and which may make full collection of contractual cash flows questionable. Doubtful loans are those with identified weaknesses that make full collection of contractual cash flows, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

For commercial credits, the Company assigns an internal risk rating at origination and reviews the rating annual, semiannually, or quarterly depending on the risk rating. The rating is also reassessed at any point in time when management becomes aware of information that may affect the borrower’s ability to fulfill their obligations.

The Company risk rates its residential mortgages, including 1-4 family and residential construction loans, based on a three rating system: Pass, Special Mention, and Substandard. Loans that are current within 59 days are rated Pass. Residential mortgages that are 60-89 days delinquent are rated Special Mention. Loans delinquent for 90 days or greater are rated Substandard and generally placed on non-accrual status.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A financial asset is considered collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. Expected credit losses for collateral-dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of individually analyzed collateral-dependent loans by loan portfolio segment:

Troubled Debt Restructuring Loans

The Company’s loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment and may result in a specific allowance amount allocated to an individual loan.

The following table presents activity in TDRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021:

The Company did not have variable-rate FHLB advances for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In June 2022, the Company issued ten year subordinated notes in the amount of $100.0 million. The interest rate is fixed at 5.50% for the first five years. After five years, the notes become callable and will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR), plus 249 basis points. The subordinated note includes reduction to the note principal balance of $2.0 million for unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2022.

In September 2012, the Company issued fifteen year subordinated notes in the amount of $75.0 million at a discount of 1.15%. The interest rate is fixed at 6.875% for the first ten years. After ten years, the notes become callable and convert to an interest rate of three-month LIBOR rate plus 5.113%. The subordinated note includes reduction to the note principal balance of $31 thousand and $92 thousand for unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company holds 100% of the common stock of Berkshire Hills Capital Trust I (“Trust I”) which is included in other assets at a cost of $0.5 million. The sole asset of Trust I is $15.5 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures due in 2035.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As of June 30, 2022, the Company held derivatives with a total notional amount of $3.8 billion. The Company had economic hedges totaling $3.8 billion and $3.0 million non-hedging derivatives, which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes with changes in fair value recorded directly through earnings. Economic hedges included interest rate swaps totaling $3.4 billion, risk participation agreements with dealer banks of $0.3 billion, and $1.0 million in forward commitment contracts.

As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap agreements involve the risk of dealing with both Bank customers and institutional derivative counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. The agreements are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and contain master netting and collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The derivatives program is overseen by the Risk Management and Capital Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Based on adherence to the Company’s credit standards and the presence of the netting and collateral provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not significant at June 30, 2022.

The Company pledged collateral to derivative counterparties in the form of cash totaling $11.1 million and securities with an amortized cost of $37.6 million and a fair value of $37.5 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company does not typically require its commercial customers to post cash or securities as collateral on its program of back-to-back economic hedges. However certain language is written into the International Swaps Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) and loan documents where, in default situations, the Bank is allowed to access collateral supporting the loan relationship to recover any losses suffered on the derivative asset or liability. The Company may need to post additional collateral in the future in proportion to potential increases in unrealized loss positions.

Economic hedges

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has an interest rate swap with a $7.5 million notional amount to swap out the fixed rate of interest on an economic development bond bearing a fixed rate of 5.09%, currently within the Company’s trading portfolio under the fair value option, in exchange for a LIBOR-based floating rate. The intent of the economic hedge is to improve the Company’s asset sensitivity to changing interest rates in anticipation of favorable average floating rates of interest over the 21-year life of the bond. The fair value changes of the economic development bond are mostly offset by fair value changes of the related interest rate swap.

The Company also offers certain derivative products directly to qualified commercial borrowers. The Company economically hedges derivative transactions executed with commercial borrowers by entering into mirror-image, offsetting derivatives with third-party financial institutions. The transaction allows the Company’s customer to convert a variable-rate loan to a fixed rate loan. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts mostly offset each other in earnings. There was no credit valuation loss adjustment arising from the difference in credit worthiness of the commercial loan and financial institution counterparties as of June 30, 2022. The interest income and expense on these mirror image swaps exactly offset each other.

The Company has risk participation agreements with dealer banks. Risk participation agreements occur when the Company participates on a loan and a swap where another bank is the lead. The Company gets paid a fee to take on the risk associated with having to make the lead bank whole on Berkshire’s portion of the pro-rated swap should the borrower default. Changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings.

The Company utilizes forward sale commitments to hedge interest rate risk and the associated effects on the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and loans originated for sale. The forward sale commitments are accounted for as derivatives with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings.

The Company uses the following types of forward sale commitments contracts:

•Best efforts loan sales,

•Mandatory delivery loan sales, and

•To Be Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities sales.

A best efforts contract refers to a loan sale agreement where the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. The Company may enter into a best efforts contract once the price is known, which is shortly after the potential borrower’s interest rate is locked.

A mandatory delivery contract is a loan sale agreement where the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. Generally, the Company may enter into mandatory delivery contracts shortly after the loan closes with a customer.

The Company may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities to hedge the changes in fair value of interest rate lock commitments and held for sale loans, which do not have corresponding best efforts or mandatory delivery contracts. These security sales transactions are closed once mandatory contracts are written. On the closing date the price of the security is locked-in, and the sale is paired-off with a purchase of the same security. Settlement of the security purchase/sale transaction is done with cash on a net-basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Non-hedging derivatives

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), or commitments to lend, for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in non-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

Amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Income related to economic hedges and non-hedging derivatives were as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Subject to Enforceable Master Netting Arrangements

Interest Rate Swap Agreements (“Swap Agreements”)

The Company enters into swap agreements to facilitate the risk management strategies for commercial banking customers. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly rated third party financial institutions. The swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral generally in the form of marketable securities is received or posted by the counterparty with net liability positions, respectively, in accordance with contract thresholds.

The Company had net asset positions with its financial institution counterparties totaling $54.1 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company had net asset positions with its commercial banking counterparties totaling $4.4 million and $76.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company had net liability positions with its financial institution counterparties totaling $24.9 million and $33.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company had net liability positions with its commercial banking counterparties totaling $51.9 million and $2.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company has collateral pledged to cover this liability.

NOTE 9. OTHER COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES, AND PANDEMIC IMPACT

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and the United States declared a National Public Health Emergency. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid and continues to evolve, which is adversely affecting some of the Company’s clients. The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity, unemployment, consumer spending, and other economic activities has resulted in less economic activity, lower equity market valuations and significant volatility and disruption in financial markets and has had an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate extent of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations is currently uncertain and will depend on various developments and other factors, including, among others, the duration and scope of the pandemic, as well as governmental, regulatory and private sector responses to the pandemic, and the associated impacts on the economy, financial markets, and our clients, employees, and vendors.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying the Company’s secured loans, and demand for loans and other products and services the Company offers, which are highly dependent on the business environment in the Company’s primary markets where it operates and in the United States as a whole.

These circumstances could cause the Company to experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on the Company’s intangible assets, investments, loans, loan servicing rights, deferred tax assets, lease right-of-use assets, or counter-party risk derivatives.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company offered three-month payment deferrals for customers with a current payment status who were negatively impacted by economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 7 active modified loans outstanding with a carrying value of $13.4 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 19 active modified loans outstanding with a carrying value of $14.4 million, which excluded loans returning to payment or awaiting evaluation for further deferral. The Company continues to accrue interest on these loans during the deferral period. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020 and Section 4013 (Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings) of the CARES Act, these short-term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) unless the borrower was previously experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the risk-ratings on COVID-19 modified loans did not automatically change as a result of payment deferrals, and these loans will not be considered past due until after the deferral period is over and scheduled payments resume. Section 4013 (Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings) of the CARES Act expired on December 31, 2021.

NOTE 10.           CAPITAL RATIOS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The actual and required capital ratios were as follows:

						June 30, 2022						December 31, 2021						Minimum Capital Requirement
Company (consolidated)
Total capital to risk-weighted assets						16.1		%				17.3		%				8.0		%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets						12.9						15.0						4.5
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets						13.2						15.3						6.0
Tier 1 capital to average assets						10.2						10.5						4.0

						June 30, 2022						December 31, 2021						Regulatory Minimum to be Adequately Capitalized						Regulatory Minimum to be Well Capitalized
Bank
Total capital to risk-weighted assets						14.1		%				15.9		%				8.0		%				10.0		%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets						13.1						14.8						4.5						6.5
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets						13.1						14.8						6.0						8.0
Tier 1 capital to average assets						10.2						10.1						4.0						5.0

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. At each date shown, the Company met the minimum capital requirements and the Bank met the conditions to be classified as “well capitalized” under the relevant regulatory framework. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table above.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to the Basel III rule that requires the Company and the Bank to assess their Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets. The Bank's Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets exceeds the minimum to be well capitalized. In addition, the final capital rules added a requirement to maintain a minimum conservation buffer, composed of Common equity Tier 1 capital, of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, to be phased in over three years and applied to the Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the Total risk-based capital ratio. As of January 1, 2019, banking organizations must maintain a minimum Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.0%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5%, and a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%. The final capital rules impose restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary cash bonus payments if the minimum capital conservation buffer is not met.

At June 30, 2022, the capital levels of both the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and the Bank's regulatory capital ratios were above the minimum levels required to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes. The capital levels of both the Company and the Bank at June 30, 2022 also exceeded the minimum capital requirements including the currently applicable capital conservation buffer of 2.5%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Trading Security at Fair Value. The Company holds one security designated as a trading security. It is a tax-advantaged economic development bond issued to the Company by a local nonprofit which provides wellness and health programs. The fair value of this security is determined based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Certain inputs to the fair value calculation are unobservable and there is little to no market activity in the security; therefore, the security meets the definition of a Level 3 security. The discount rate used in the valuation of the security is sensitive to movements in the 3-month LIBOR rate.

Securities Available for Sale and Marketable Equity Securities. Marketable equity securities classified as Level 1 consist of publicly-traded equity securities for which the fair values can be obtained through quoted market prices in active exchange markets. Marketable equity securities classified as Level 2 consist of securities with infrequent trades in active exchange markets, and pricing is primarily sourced from third party pricing services. AFS securities classified as Level 2 include most of the Company’s debt securities. The pricing on Level 2 and Level 3 was primarily sourced from third party pricing services, overseen by management, and is based on models that consider standard input factors such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and condition, among other things. Level 3 pricing includes inputs unobservable to market participants.

Loans Held for Investment. The Company’s held for investment loan portfolio includes loans originated by Company and loans acquired through business combinations. The Company intends to hold these assets until maturity as a part of its business operations. For one acquired portfolio subset, the Company previously accounted for these purchased-credit impaired loans as a pool under ASC 310, as they were determined to have common risk characteristics. These loans were recorded at fair value on acquisition date and subsequently evaluated for impairment collectively. Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company elected the fair value option on this portfolio, recognizing an $11.2 million fair value write-down charged to retained earnings, net of deferred tax impact, as of January 1, 2020. The fair value of this loan portfolio is determined based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Certain inputs to the fair value calculation are unobservable; therefore, the loans meet the definition of Level 3 assets. The discount rate used in the valuation is consistent with assets that have significant credit deterioration. The cash flow assumptions include payment schedules for loans with current payment histories and estimated collateral value for delinquent loans. All of these loans were nonperforming as of June 30, 2022.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The changes in fair value of loans held for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were gains of $14 thousand and losses of $161 thousand, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, originations of loans held for sale totaled $2.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, sales of loans originated for sale totaled $2.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

The changes in fair value of loans held for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were losses of $240 thousand and $234 thousand, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, originations of loans held for sale totaled $16.3 million and $60.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, sales of loans originated for sale totaled $20.3 million and $68.3 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps. The valuation of the Company’s interest rate swaps is obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2022, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to Lend. The Company enters into commitments to lend for residential mortgage loans intended for sale, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood that the loan in a lock position will ultimately close, and by the non-refundable costs of originating the loan. The closing ratio is derived from the Bank’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment. The costs to originate are primarily based on the Company’s internal commission rates that are not observable. As such, these commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Forward Sale Commitments. The Company utilizes forward sale commitments as economic hedges against potential changes in the values of the commitments to lend and loans originated for sale. To Be Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities forward commitment sales are used as the hedging instrument, are classified as Level 1, and consist of publicly-traded debt securities for which identical fair values can be obtained through quoted market prices in active exchange markets. The fair values of the Company’s best efforts and mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined similarly to the commitments to lend using quoted prices in the market place that are observable. However, costs to originate and closing ratios included in the calculation are internally generated and are based on management’s judgment and prior experience, which are considered factors that are not observable. As such, best efforts and mandatory forward commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Capitalized Servicing Rights. The Company accounts for certain capitalized servicing rights at fair value in its Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is permitted to elect the fair value option for each specific instrument. A loan servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans exceed adequate compensation for performing the servicing. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Individually evaluated loans. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates, and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments that relate to real estate collateral have generally been classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value for other collateral that supports commercial loans are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. 

Capitalized loan servicing rights. A loan servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans exceed adequate compensation for performing the servicing. The fair value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item which management excludes when computing non-GAAP adjusted earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular quarter or year. The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings information set forth is not necessarily comparable to non- GAAP information which may be presented by other companies. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information.

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for operating revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations. These items primarily include securities gains/losses, merger costs, restructuring costs, goodwill impairment, and discontinued operations. Merger costs consist primarily of severance/benefit related expenses, contract termination costs, systems conversion costs, variable compensation expenses, and professional fees. Restructuring costs generally consist of costs and losses associated with the disposition of assets and liabilities and lease terminations, including costs related to branch sales. Restructuring costs also include severance and consulting expenses related to the Company’s strategic review.

The Company also calculates adjusted earnings per share based on its measure of adjusted earnings and diluted common shares. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to merger and acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company’s performance. Expense adjustments in 2021 were primarily related to branch consolidations. Net losses on securities in 2022 were primarily due to unrealized equity securities losses due to changes in market conditions.

Management believes that the computation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.

SUMMARY

Berkshire’s revenue and earnings advanced in the most recent quarter as the Company has begun to generate improved growth and profitability under its BEST strategic plan which was initiated at midyear 2021. Results have also benefited from a strong credit environment and from market interest rate increases which began after the start of 2022. The Company’s interest rate risk profile is positioned to benefit earnings from further interest rate increases expected by the markets through the rest of the year.

The BEST plan targeted getting better before getting bigger, and this was a primary focus in the second half of 2021 as various expense and profitability initiatives were undertaken and less strategic operations were ended, including the sale of Mid-Atlantic branch operations and insurance operations in the third quarter of 2021. The refocus on core markets and operations and the reinvestment of resources into frontline bankers and technology contributed to the resumption of loan growth in 2022. Share repurchases over the last year to return excess capital to shareholders produced a 9% decrease in outstanding shares over the last twelve months, which has further supported growth in per share earnings and return on equity.

Earnings per share (on a diluted basis) increased year-over-year by 16% to $0.50 in the second quarter and by 33% to $0.92 in the first half of the year. The key profitability metrics tracked by the Company under its BEST plan improved year-over-year in the second quarter. Second quarter 2022 return on assets measured 0.82% and return on tangible common equity measured 8.3%. The measure of pre-tax pre-provision net revenue increased year-over-year by 2% and totaled $117 million on an annualized basis in the most recent quarter.

Second quarter 2022 financial highlights are shown below. Comparisons are year-over-year unless otherwise noted:

•16% increase in EPS

•Broad-based increase in total loans since year-end 2021 based on both end-of-period and average balances

•3.11% net interest margin, increased from 2.62%

•8% increase in net interest income

•1% decrease in non-interest expense (generally stable over last five quarters)

•0.02% net charge-offs/average loans

•0.25% non-performing assets/assets – sixth sequential quarterly improvement

•$100 million investment grade subordinated debt issuance - first Sustainability Bond issued by a public U.S. community bank

•9% reduction in period-end shares outstanding year-over-year reflecting stock buybacks

Credit metrics remained strong and improving, and earnings benefited from a release of the credit loss allowance in the first quarter of 2022, and no provision expense in the most recent quarter. The allowance continues to provide comparatively strong coverage of the loan portfolio. The Company’s balance sheet positioning includes:

•Significant liquidity available through short and long term investments and off-balance sheet sources. Loans/deposits measured 77% at midyear

•Positive asset sensitivity to rising interest rates, with a 4% modeled benefit to first year net interest income compared to a static scenario in the event of a 100 basis point upward shock to net interest income

•Stock repurchase plan approved for up to $140 million in repurchases, with $84 million completed in the first half of 2022

•Strong regulatory capital metrics, with a 12.9% period-end common equity tier 1 capital ratio

During the second quarter of 2022, Moody’s Investors Service assigned first time issuer ratings with an investment grade rating of Baa3 to Berkshire Hills Bancorp and Berkshire Bank, with a positive outlook. Moody’s assigned an A3 long-term deposit rating to the Bank. Also, in the second quarter, KBRA (Kroll Bond Rating Agency) affirmed senior unsecured investment grade ratings of BBB for Berkshire Hills Bancorp and BBB+ for Berkshire Bank, with a stable outlook. KBRA affirmed a BBB+ deposit rating for the Bank. In conjunction with the issuance of its subordinated Sustainability Bond, the Company implemented its Sustainable Financing Framework, which received a favorable rating from Sustainalytics, a leading ESG ratings firm.

In accordance with its BEST plan, Berkshire continued recruiting front line bankers and developing technology initiatives in the first half of 2022. The Company continues to promote employees from within the organization and to bring on board knowledgeable bankers to deepen long-term relationships with its customers. Berkshire Bank recently announced an expanded partnership with fintech Narmi to create a best-in-class digital banking experience for consumers and small businesses, which is targeted for implementation in 2023. For more information about the BEST plan, please see Item 7 "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company’s most recent report on Form 10-K.

Since year-end 2021, inflation has continued to accelerate, reaching 9.1% for the twelve months ended June 2022. In response, the Federal Reserve Bank has embarked on monetary tightening policies, resulting in increased interest rates. The Federal Reserve has indicated that further tightening is anticipated.

As of July 28, 2022, GDP was reported as declining for the first two quarters of 2022. Business conditions remained relatively favorable through midyear 2022 in the Company’s markets. The Company is pursuing its plans for growth under its BEST plan based on its favorable niche in a consolidating regional market and its distinctive strategy based on its DigitouchSM approach to customer engagement and its community service message that where you bank matters.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2022 AND DECEMBER 31, 2021

Summary: Total assets were unchanged at $11.6 billion at midyear 2022, compared to year-end 2021. A $1.0 billion increase in loans was funded by a $0.8 billion reduction in cash and equivalents and a $0.2 billion reduction in investment securities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to 8% of assets from 14%. Major measures of asset quality continued to strengthen and generally were improved over pre-pandemic levels.

Total deposits were stable and the loan/deposit ratio increased to 77% from 68%.

Berkshire issued an investment grade rate $100 million subordinated note offering which was the first public community bank Sustainability Bond issued in the U.S. Shareholders’ equity decreased by $168 million including the impact of $120 million in after-tax unrealized bond losses and $84 million in common stock repurchases. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets decreased to 8.5% from 10.0%. The ratio of common equity tier one capital to risk weighted assets decreased to 12.9% from 15.0%. The Company views its liquidity and capital, including the contribution of retained earnings, as well positioned to support ongoing organic growth and shareholder distributions.

Sustainability Bond Issuance: On June 30, 2022, Berkshire completed the sale at par of $100 million in subordinated notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.5% for the first five years. The notes will then reset quarterly to a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate which is expected to be the Three-Month Term SOFR, plus 249 basis points. The notes have a ten year final maturity and generally may be called at par after five years. The Company has $75 million in existing subordinated notes bearing interest at 6.875% which are callable at par on September 28, 2022, which the Company intends to call.

Berkshire is the first public U.S. community bank holding company with under $150 billion in total assets to issue a Sustainability Bond. The Company intends to use an amount equal to the net proceeds of its sustainability bond issuance to finance or refinance new or existing social and environmental projects consistent with its Sustainable Financing Framework. Sustainalytics, a Morningstar Company, and the global leader in high-quality ESG research, ratings, and data, has independently verified that Berkshire’s Sustainable Financing Framework" is credible and impactful and in alignment with” International Capital Market Association (ICMA) guidelines and principles.

Investments: The portfolio of investment securities decreased by $219 million, or 9%, to $2.33 billion during the first half of the year primarily due to the decrease in the fair value of available for sale securities resulting from interest rate increases in the first half of 2022. The unrealized loss on securities available for sale increased from $4 million, or 0.2% of book value, at year-end 2021 to $165 million, or 8.9% of book value, at midyear 2022. The average life of the bond portfolio increased to 6.5 years from 4.6 years due primarily to slower prepayments of mortgage related securities in the rising rate environment. The investment portfolio is viewed as a significant source of liquidity for the Bank, as 93% of the $1.7 billion available for sale portfolio consists of Agency mortgage related products and Treasury notes. The investment portfolio yield was 1.97% in the second quarter of 2022, which was down from 2.04% in the fourth quarter of 2021, including the impact of treasury securities held pending planned loan growth.

Loans: Total loans increased by $978 million, or 14%, to $7.8 billion in the first half of 2022, including 7% growth in each of the two quarters. This increase offset attrition in the second half of 2021, with the result that second quarter average loans increased by 1% year-over-year. Loans increased in all major categories as a result of the Company’s BEST initiatives in the second half of 2021 which included stronger production from frontline bankers, talent recruitment, and channel expansion. Prepayments slowed in the rising rate environment. The Company anticipates that loan growth may moderate in the second half of the year compared to the first half.

Commercial real estate loans increased in the first half by $322 million, or 9%, including a $116 million increase in multifamily loans and a $171 million increase in non-owner occupied property loans. Commercial and industrial loans grew by $141 million, or 11%, which was driven by increased asset-based lending which reflected both account growth and higher line usage. The Company continues to maintain its commercial underwriting standards and growth is managed within a detailed system of hold limits based on industry and loan type. Variable rate loan underwriting includes a test of debt service coverage for up to a 300 basis point upward interest rate shock, and many commercial borrowers use interest rate swaps to reduce the risk of rising interest rates. After the end of the most recent quarter, the Company announced that it will cease originating new loans in its Firestone Financial

specialty lending operation and allow the portfolio to run-off. This was a strategic decision in the context of Berkshire’s BEST plan to focus on core markets and products. The Firestone portfolio stood at $165 million at midyear 2022 and continues to have strong credit performance in line with its long history.

Residential mortgage loans increased by $427 million, or 31%, in the first half of the year. In accordance with its BEST initiative, Berkshire invested in expanding its retail originations team and its correspondent platform. The Company also purchased residential mortgages from area lenders. Most mortgage originations were held for investment; the Company targets to expand the retail origination of loans held for sale in the second half of the year.

Consumer loans increased by $87 million, or 17%, in the first half of the year. Growth was driven by consumer unsecured loans originated through the Company’s partnership with the fintech Upstart. This portfolio totaled $152 million at midyear, and most of these loans were originated during the first half of the year and were generally subject to the Company’s prime underwriting standards. In July 2022 the Company announced that, due to the prevailing economic uncertainty, it will cease new originations through this partnership. Credit performance of this portfolio has exceeded the Company’s expectations.

The yield on the loan portfolio increased to 3.99% in the second quarter of 2022 from 3.76% in the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to the impact of rising interest rates on prime and LIBOR indexed loans. Loans repricing within three months totaled $3.3 billion, or 42% of total loans at midyear 2022. The Company anticipates that further increases in market interest rates will lead to higher loan yields in future periods.

Asset Quality and Credit Loss Allowance: Major asset quality metrics improved in the first half of 2022, with many metrics improving to better levels than pre-pandemic. Non-accruing loans decreased to 0.34% of total loans at midyear, totaling $27 million, of which $8 million was added in the first half of the year. Annualized net loan charge-offs declined to 0.02% of average loans in the most recent quarter. Accruing delinquent loans measured 0.55% of total loans at midyear, compared to 0.63% at year-end 2021. At midyear, accruing troubled debt restructurings totaled $9 million and accruing loans over 90 days delinquent totaled $7 million. Total criticized loans decreased to 2.7% of loans from 3.5% of loans, including classified loans which decreased to 2.0% of loans from 2.1% of loans. Classified loans include accruing substandard loans, which are regarded as potential problem loans and which remained unchanged at 1.6% of total loans.

The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased in the first half of 2022 to $99 million from $106 million. The ratio of the allowance to total loans decreased to 1.27% from 1.55%. This decline was primarily due to improvements in the qualitative factors of the allowance methodology mainly as a result of improved asset quality metrics. It also reflected a reduction in the potential losses from economic and social disruptions related to COVID-19 conditions. Considering loan and allowance balances, the magnitude of the improvement was most reflected in the allowances related to residential mortgages, commercial non-owner occupied property loans, multifamily loans, and construction loans. This was partially offset by higher consumer reserves related to the consumer unsecured lending during the period.

Deposits and Borrowings: Total deposits of $10.1 billion were unchanged at midyear 2022 compared to year-end 2021. A mix shift between NOW and money market balances was primarily due to the timing of payroll cycles as they affect the Company’s payroll deposit business. Payroll deposits totaled $1.3 billion at midyear 2022 compared to $1.0 billion at year-end 2021. The Company has been reducing its brokered deposits, which decreased to $113 million from $228 million on these respective dates. The Company evaluates its total deposits adjusted to exclude payroll and brokered deposits in evaluating its market activities. These adjusted deposits totaled $8.7 billion at midyear 2022, which was a 1% decrease from $8.8 billion at year-end 2021. This includes the impact of increased customer spending rates as well as market competition from higher yielding investment instruments in the rising interest rate environment. The cost of deposits decreased to 0.17% in the second quarter of 2022 from 0.19% in the fourth quarter of 2021. This included the benefit of maturing higher cost time deposits, including brokered deposits. The Company anticipates that further increases in market interest rates will lead to higher deposit costs in future periods. Borrowings increased primarily due to the subordinated note offering previously described. This offering was completed on June 30, 2022, and the proceeds were held in cash and cash equivalents at that date. The Company has a $75 million subordinated debt obligation bearing interest at 6.875% which becomes callable in September 2022. The Company expects to call this instrument at par after it becomes callable.

Derivative Financial Instruments: There were no material changes in the portfolio of outstanding derivative financial instruments, which totaled $3.8 billion in notional amount at period-end. The estimated fair value of these instruments was a liability of $18 million at period-end, which decreased from an asset of $43 million at year-end 2021 due to the impact of changes in interest rates on the value of outstanding commercial loan interest rate swaps.

Please see the Company’s most recent report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the LIBOR transition.

Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $168 million, or 14%, to $1.01 billion during the first half of 2022. This included the impact of $84 million in stock repurchases pursuant to the Company’s $140 million authorized repurchase program, leaving $56 million in remaining repurchases authorized by year-end 2022.

Shareholders’ equity also decreased due to the impact of fair market value discounts on the available for sale securities portfolio as previously described. The after-tax impact of these charges totaled $120 million for the first six months of 2022, which was recorded to the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity. Of note, the charge for bond discounts is accreted back into equity as the related securities amortize over the 6.5 year average life of the related securities.

The Company’s 7.3% return on equity in the first half of 2022 partially offset the reductions described above, net of $0.12 per share in quarterly common dividends, which represented a 25% payout of first half earnings.

The 2022 first half decrease to 8.5% from 10.0% in the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets reflected the reduction in equity compared to stable assets. The charge to equity related to bond value discounts is not included as a component of the calculation of regulatory equity, which is the Company’s primary focus in capital management. The increase in loans in 2022 had an impact of increasing the regulatory measure of risk weighted assets. Including this impact, together with stock repurchase impact, the ratio of common equity tier one capital to risk weighted assets decreased to 12.9% from 15.0%. The Company monitors the impacts of rising rates, credit stress scenarios, and organic growth in assessing its capital adequacy and plans. The Company’s capital ratios were viewed by management as strong at midyear 2022. At that date, book value per share totaled $22.15 and tangible book value per share totaled $21.56.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND JUNE 30, 2021

Summary: Berkshire’s second quarter net income increased year-over-year by 7% to $23 million. Net interest income increased by 8% year-over-year reflecting the Company’s BEST strategy to reinvest resources into balance sheet growth which has also benefited from the rising interest rate environment.

First half net income increased year-over-year by 25% to $43 million due primarily to a $7 million year-over-year improvement in first quarter results. This reflected a benefit recorded to the first quarter 2022 credit loss provision as well as a decline in non-interest expense from elevated costs in the first quarter of 2021.

On a per share basis, second quarter net income increased by 16% to $0.50. First half per share results increased by 33% to $0.92 per diluted share. Per share earnings benefited from share repurchases over these periods, with average diluted shares decreasing year-over-year by 9% in the second quarter and by 7% for the first half of the year.

Non-GAAP financial measures are discussed above in the section of "Non-GAAP Financial Measures". Quarterly adjusted EPS was $0.01 higher than GAAP results in 2021 and 2022 except for the first quarter of 2021, which had elevated restructuring charges. First half adjusted EPS increased by 25% to $0.94 in 2022.

Total second quarter net revenue was unchanged year-over-year at approximately $97.5 million, and second quarter non-interest expense decreased by 1% to $68.5 million. For the first half of the year, total revenue decreased by 6%, to $187 million and non-interest expense decreased by 7% to $137 million. Year-over-year changes in revenue and expense include the impact of insurance and branch operations sold near the end of the third quarter of 2021. The second quarter efficiency ratio in 2022 measured 66.6%, compared to 67.8% in 2021. The Company’s overall strategy is to reinvest expense savings into bankers and technology to support higher future revenue in the context of its BEST plan.

Net Interest Income: Second quarter net interest income increased year-over-year by 8%, to $81 million. First half net interest income was unchanged at $150 million in both years. Due primarily to loan runoff, this income decreased sequentially in the quarters following the second quarter of 2021, declining to $69 million in the first quarter of 2022 before rebounding in the most recent quarter due primarily to 2022 loan growth and market interest rate increases.

The net interest margin increased to 3.11% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 2.62% in the second quarter of 2021. This reflected a 38 basis point improvement in the earning asset yield and a 12 basis point reduction in the cost of funds. The earning asset yield improvement reflected a 15 basis point improvement in the loan yield due primarily to rising interest rates, as well as the reduction in low yielding short-term investments. The cost of funds improvement was primarily due to reductions of higher cost wholesale funds, along with a shift in retail deposits from higher cost time accounts into other lower cost deposit accounts.

Second quarter 2022 net interest income increased by 18% over the linked quarter, mirroring the 19% quarter-over-quarter change in the net interest margin to 3.11% from 2.61%. Net interest income responded rapidly to the market rate increases, while also benefiting from stable deposit costs and from loan growth. At midyear 2022, the Company remained asset sensitive and was positioned to benefit from further increases in market interest rates in 2022 based on market forecasts. This is discussed below in Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.

Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income decreased year-over-year by 26% to $16 million in the second quarter and by 23% to $37 million for the year-to-date. This decrease included the elimination of insurance revenue in 2022 following the sale of these operations in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was also impacted by a decline in loan fees and revenues from elevated levels in 2021. Higher loan related revenues in 2021 included elevated SBA related income which benefited from pandemic related SBA program changes. 2021 first quarter results also benefited from PPP referral fees earned during the second round of the PPP loan program that operated in the first half of last year.

Despite the sale of the Mid-Atlantic branch operations in the third quarter of 2021, first half deposit related fees advanced year-over-year by 5%, and wealth management fees grew by 2%. Mortgage banking revenue declined as 2022 originations were mostly held for investment. Higher securities losses in 2022 primarily related to fair market value discounts on bond instruments held in mutual funds.

Provision for Credit Losses on Loans: There was no provision for credit losses on loans recorded in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. As a result of first quarter activity, for six months the provision was a benefit of $4 million in 2022 and an expense of $6 million in 2021. The year-over-year improvement reflects the improved credit performance and outlook as previously discussed regarding the allowance for credit losses on loans. If

significant recession conditions emerge, under the current expected credit losses methodology, the potential emergent future losses could be reflected in future provision expense.

Non-Interest Expense and Tax Expense: Non-interest expense decreased year-over-year by 1% to $68.5 million in the second quarter and by 7% to $137 million in the first half. First quarter 2021 expenses included $3 million in non-operating related restructuring charges, and $3 million in elevated professional services expense for legal, financial, and other advisory services related to management and board matters in that period. Excluding the above items, first half non-interest expense decreased by 2% year-over-year.

Expense spending in 2022 has benefited from branch consolidations and restructuring activities, as well as the sale of the Mid-Atlantic branch operations and insurance operations in the third quarter of 2021. Second quarter spending changes illustrate disciplined growth in compensation and technology expense which was offset by lower occupancy expense. This is in alignment with the BEST plan to reinvest savings from efficiency initiatives into bankers and technology. The Company is in the process of consolidating 5 of the current 105 branch offices during the second half of 2022, and is moving forward with plans to reduce other real estate properties as part of its hybrid workforce initiative to reduce occupancy costs in conjunction with its work from home initiatives.

Full-time equivalent staff totaled 1,322 positions at period-end, compared to 1,319 positions at the start of the 2022 and 1,505 positions at the start of 2021.

The first half effective tax rate was 20% in 2022 compared to 23% in 2021 and compared to 20% for the full year 2021. The higher rate in the first half of 2021 reflected a delay in the initiation of tax credit investments which benefited the tax rate in the second half of the year. The full year rate in 2021 included the impact of the pre-tax income from the sale of business operations in the third quarter. In 2022, higher pre-tax income in the first half relates to organic growth in earnings.

Total Comprehensive Income: Total comprehensive income includes net income together with other comprehensive income, which primarily consists of unrealized gains/losses on debt securities available for sale, after tax. Total first half comprehensive income was a loss of $76 million in 2022, compared to income of $19 million in 2021, reflecting the impact in both periods of rising medium term interest rates on the bond portfolio.

Liquidity and Cash Flows: Please see ““Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Cash Flows” in the most recent report on Form10-K for a more expansive discussion of these topics.

For the first half of 2022, loan growth was the primary use of cash, which was primarily sourced from short-term investments and investment securities. The ratio of cash and cash equivalents decreased to 8% from 14% over this period. Cash included $100 million raised through the subordinated note offering at period-end. The Company expects to call its preexisting $75 million subordinated notes at par after they become callable.

Brokered deposits were reduced by $115 million in the first half, and had a $113 million remaining balance at midyear. The Company borrowed $50 million in FHLBB advances near the end of the period. Unused FHLBB borrowing availability stood at $1.3 billion at midyear. Cash at the parent company stood at $173 million at midyear 2022.

The Company continues to view itself as having sufficient liquidity with a high quality and liquid securities portfolio and well-positioned wholesale funding sources. The new Moody’s ratings introduced during the quarter, including the A3 long-term bank deposit rating, support Berkshire’s liquidity profile. The stability of deposit costs

during the first half of the year has also been positive as an indicator of core funding stability in the Company’s markets.

Capital Resources: Please see the “Shareholders’ Equity” section of the Comparison of Financial Condition for a discussion of shareholders’ equity together with Note 10 – Capital Ratios and Shareholders' Equity in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Additional information about capital resources and regulatory capital is contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in the Company's most recent Form 10-K.

The Company’s BEST plan includes the optimization of capital, including reducing excess capital through organic growth and capital returns to shareholders. The operation of this plan was evidenced in the first half of the year through the 14% loan growth and $84 million in share repurchases. Capital optimization was also supported through the subordinated debt issuance, reducing the coupon compared to the present debt which is planned to be repaid later in 2022.

The Company primarily focuses on regulatory capital measures in assessing capital, including the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio. This ratio stood at 12.9% at midyear, compared to the general 11% target established in the BEST plan. Including its improved profitability, the Company continues to pursue its capital management goals within its BEST strategy. This also includes ongoing assessment of the shareholder cash dividend in relationship to earnings and to competitive practices.

In acting as a source of strength for the Bank, the Company relies in the long term on capital distributions from the Bank in order to provide operating and capital service for the Company, which in turn can access national financial markets to provide financial support to the Bank. Capital distributions from the Bank to the parent company presently require approval by the FDIC and the Massachusetts Division of Banking. Increased distributions from the Company to shareholders require notice to and nonobjection from the Federal Reserve Bank.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements

included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Modifications to significant accounting policies made during the year are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and practices generally applicable to the financial services industry requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has identified the Company's most critical accounting policies as related to:

• Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

• Fair Value Measurements

These policies are considered most critical in that they are important to the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management’s subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Both of these policies were significant in determining income and financial condition in the financial statements. There is further discussion of the application of these policies in the Form 10-K.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT

Following sections of this report on Form 10-Q include discussion of market risk and risk factors. Risk management is overseen by the Company’s Chief Risk Officer, who reports directly to the CEO. This position oversees risk

management policy, credit, loan review, and information security. Enterprise risk assessments are brought to the

Company’s Enterprise Risk Management Committee, and then are reported to the Board’s Risk Management, Capital, and Compliance Committee. The high level corporate risk assessment includes the following material business risks: credit risk, interest rate risk, price risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, and reputation risk, with the credit risk category having the highest weighting.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For additional discussion about the Company’s Quantitative and Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk, please review Item 7A of the most recent report on Form 10-K which sets forth the methodologies employed by the Company and the various aspects of its analysis of its interest rate sensitivity. Berkshire’s objective is to maintain a neutral or asset sensitive interest rate risk profile, as measured by the sensitivity of net interest income to market interest rate changes.

As of June 30, 2022, Berkshire’s balance sheet remained well-positioned for the forecast rising rate environment. Shown below is a chart of the modeled change in net interest income from a static base case in the event of interest rate shocks for the scenarios illustrated.

CHANGE IN NET INTEREST INCOME
						1-12 Months						13-24 Months
Parallel Interest Rate Shock – Basis Points						% Change						% Change
At June 30, 2022
+200						8.2%						12.4%
+100						4.0%						5.9%
-100						(8.2)%						(9.6)%
At December 31, 2021
+200						13.1%						16.1%
+100						5.6%						6.5%
-100						(0.1)%						(1.2)%

The shock information above shows that the Company has become less asset sensitive in the first half of 2022 due primarily to the reinvestment of cash into loans, some of which are longer duration. The Company remained asset sensitive and therefore was positioned to further benefit from expected interest rate increases in the second half of 2022. The Company’s sensitivity to decreases in interest rates has become more pronounced as current higher levels of interest rates are reflected in current net interest income. The downward sensitivity has not been significant during the near-zero interest rate environment in recent years. The Company is monitoring its downward sensitivity and has interest rate risk management options available to limit downward sensitivity which can be assessed within the total context of its strategic management.

The Company also models net interest income sensitivity to twelve month interest rate ramps. At period-end, the year one sensitivity to a +100 basis point interest rate ramp was 2.1% and the year two sensitivity was 5.3%. The Company also models sensitivity to yield curve twists, and sensitivity remained positive for both widening and narrowing of the yield curve scenarios.

While the sensitivity of net interest income is the primary driver of the sensitivity of net income, the latter is more sensitive than the former since it is net of expenses. In the case of the first year of a +100 basis point scenario, the modeled shock sensitivity of net income is 9.6%.

Economic value of equity sensitivity to changes in market rates was positive at midyear 2022, measuring 3.3%

for a +200% basis point shock.

A critical component of modeling is the assumption of deposit interest rate sensitivity. The Company continues to model the non-maturity deposit beta of approximately 40% for purposes of interest rate risk simulations. Due to the low level of interest rates, the modeled sensitivity of a downward shift in interest rates is affected by assumptions related to market influences on spreads and floors. Prime, mortgage rates, and deposits are floored. All other rates are zero bound.

78

Table of Contents

Modeled interest rate sensitivity depends on other material assumptions. Market risk exposure is affected by the level and shape of the yield curve in markets for financial instruments including U.S. Treasury obligations, forward interest rate derivatives, the U.S. prime interest rate, and LIBOR related rates. Also, the economic impact on customer and market behaviors of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain and may cause actual events to differ from assumptions. The behavior of markets under the historically unusual conditions currently prevailing may be different from modeling assumptions, and the Company continues to monitor the markets and the assumptions in its model.

PART II

ITEM 1.            LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of June 30, 2022, neither the Company nor the Bank was involved in any pending legal proceedings believed by management to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits involving the Bank, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Bank holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to the Bank’s business. A summary of certain legal matters involving unsettled litigation or pertaining to pending transactions are as follows:

On February 4, 2020, the Bank filed a complaint in the New York State Supreme Court for the County of Albany against Pioneer Bank (“Pioneer”) seeking damages of approximately $16.0 million. The complaint alleges that Pioneer is liable to the Bank for a credit loss of approximately $16.0 million suffered by the Bank in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of Pioneer’s breach of loan participation agreements in which it served as the lead bank, as well as constructive fraud, fraudulent concealment and/or negligent misrepresentation. Pioneer has filed a motion to dismiss aspects of the Bank’s complaint, which motion was allowed in part by the court to dismiss the Bank’s negligent misrepresentation claim, and denied in part by the court to allow all other claims by the Bank to proceed. Discovery is now underway in this action. The Company wrote down the underlying credit loss in its entirety in the third quarter of 2019, but recognized a partial recovery of $1.7 million early in the second quarter of 2020. The Company has not accrued for any additional anticipated recovery at this time.

On or about August 10, 2020, a former employee of the Bank’s subsidiary First Choice Loan Services Inc. (“FCLS”) filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas, Bucks County Pennsylvania against FCLS and two of its former senior corporate officers generally alleging wrongful termination as a result of purported whistleblower retaliation and other violations of New Jersey state employment law. The complaint also purports to name the Bank and the Company as additional defendants, even though neither entity ever employed, paid wages to or contracted with the plaintiff. On November 16, 2020, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint reiterating the same claims against the same defendants. The Company's liability insurer has provided outside litigation counsel to defend the Company and the Bank in this matter, as well as FCLS and its former senior corporate officers. On December 7, 2020, defense counsel filed Preliminary Objections on behalf of the Company, the Bank, FCLS and FCLS’s former senior corporate officers denying the plaintiff’s claims and seeking dismissal of the case and an order that the plaintiff’s claims must proceed through arbitration in accordance with contractual obligations set forth in plaintiff’s previous employment agreement with FCLS. On June 30, 2021, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice in support of FCLS’s petition to compel arbitration. The parties have mutually agreed on an arbitrator to hear the case and are preparing for arbitration proceedings that are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2022.
