Atlantic Union Bankshares Corp

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (NYSE: AUB) is the holding company for Atlantic Union Bank, which provides banking and related financial products and services to consumers and businesses.

Basis of Financial Information

The accounting policies and practices of Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries conform to GAAP and follow general practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which is a financial holding company and a bank holding company that owns all of the outstanding common stock of its banking subsidiary, Atlantic Union Bank, which owns Union Insurance Group, LLC, Atlantic Union Financial Consultants, LLC, Atlantic Union Bank Investments, Inc., and Atlantic Union Equipment Finance, Inc.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the ACL, the fair value of financial instruments, and the fair values associated with assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other period.

On April 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of American National. American National’s results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K and this Note 1 for additional information on the Company’s significant accounting policies. Except as set forth below with respect to acquisition accounting, there have not been any significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Acquisition Accounting

The Company accounts for its mergers and acquisitions that qualify as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting, resulting in all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed being recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with the acquisition and merger-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs expensed in the period incurred. The determination of fair values requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions, and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the consolidated statement of income from the acquisition date.

The Company evaluates acquired loans at the acquisition date and classifies them as either – (1) loans that have experienced a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD” loans) or (2) loans that have not experienced a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“non-PCD” loans). At acquisition, the allowance on PCD loans is booked directly to the ACL using the Company’s existing ACL methodology, but there is no initial impact to net income. Subsequent to acquisition, future changes in estimates of expected credit losses on PCD loans are recognized as provision expense (or reversal of provision expense). The ACL for non-PCD loans is recognized as provision expense in the same reporting period as the business acquisition, using the Company’s existing ACL methodology. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial

Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on the Company’s accounting policy over acquired loans and ACL.

Under ASC 805, the Company may adjust provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination for a measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date if additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes available. Any future measurement period adjustments, if necessary, will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined.

See also Note 2 “Acquisitions” in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of the Company’s acquisitions.

2. ACQUISITIONS

American National Acquisition

On April 1, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced merger with American National, the holding company for American National Bank and Trust Company, headquartered in Danville, Virginia. Under the terms of the American National merger agreement, at the effective time of the American National merger, each outstanding share of American National common stock was converted into 1.35 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in 14.3 million additional shares issued, or aggregate consideration of$505.5 million, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as quoted on NYSE on March 28, 2024, which was the last trading day prior to the consummation of the acquisition. With the acquisition of American National, the Company acquired 26 branches, deepening its presence in central and western Virginia, and expanding its franchise into contiguous markets in southern Virginia and in North Carolina.

As a result of the American National acquisition, the Company’s associated goodwill at September 30, 2024 totaled$287.5 million, which reflects expected synergies and economies of scale from the American National merger, allocated between the Company’s Wholesale Banking ($209.9 million) and Consumer Banking ($77.6 million) reporting segments, which is not deductible for tax purposes. While the Company believed the information available on April 1, 2024 provided a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, the Company obtained additional information and evidence within the one year measurement period, that resulted in changes to the estimated fair value amounts and associated goodwill for which measurement period adjustments were recorded. Measurement period adjustments recorded during the third quarter of 2024 related to the Company’s foreclosed properties, deferred tax assets, and long-term borrowings, which resulted in a$5.2 million increase in the preliminary goodwill recognized as part of the American National acquisition during the second quarter of 2024. Valuations subject to change include, but are not limited to: LHFI, identified intangible assets, certain deposits, income taxes, and certain other assets and liabilities. In addition, certain reclassification adjustments were made to other assets and other liabilities to conform to the Company’s current balance sheet presentation.

The following table provides a summary of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition, reflecting the aforementioned measurement period and reclassification adjustments (dollars in thousands):

-11-

The Company assessed the fair value based on the following methods for the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value was determined to approximate the carrying amount based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Securities AFS: The fair value of the investment portfolio was based on quoted market prices and dealer quotes and pricing obtained from independent pricing services.

LHFS: The LHFS portfolio was recorded at fair value based on quotes or bids from third parties.

LHFI: Fair values for LHFI were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considered factors including loan type, interest rate type, prepayment speeds, duration, and current discount rates. The discount rates used for loans were based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and factored in adjustments for any expected liquidity events. Expected cash flows were derived using inputs that considered estimated credit losses and prepayments.

Premises and equipment: The fair value of bank premises and equipment held for use was valued by obtaining recent market data for similar property types with adjustments for characteristics of individual properties.

CDI and other intangibles: CDI represents the future economic benefit of acquired customer deposits. The fair value of the CDI asset was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that incorporated expected customer attrition rates, cost of deposit base, net maintenance cost associated with customer deposits, and the cost for alternative funding sources. The discount rates used were based on market rates. Other intangibles include customer relationship intangible assets and non-compete intangible assets. Customer relationship intangible assets represent the value associated with customer relationships related to the wealth management business that was acquired. Non-compete intangible assets represent the value associated with non-compete agreements for former employees in place at the date of the acquisition.

*BOLI:The fair value of BOLI is carried at its current cash surrender value, which is the most reasonable estimate of fair value. *

Deposits: The fair value of interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits is the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that includes a market rate analysis of the current rates offered by market participants for certificates of deposits that mature in the same period.

Short-Term Borrowings: Acquired short term borrowings consist of FHLB overnight borrowings and borrowings under repurchase agreements. The fair value of the short-term borrowings was determined to approximate the carrying amounts.

Long-Term Borrowings: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings, including trust preferred securities, were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The following table presents for illustrative purposes only certain pro forma information as if the Company had acquired American National on January 1, 2023. These results combine the historical results of American National in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2023. No adjustments have been made to the pro forma results regarding possible revenue enhancements, provision for credit losses, or expense efficiencies. Pro forma adjustments below include the net impact of American National’s accretion and the elimination of American National merger-related costs, as disclosed below. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies, including branch closures, as a result of the acquisition, which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below (dollars in thousands):

(1)* Includes net interest income and noninterest income.*

(2)* Includes the net impact of American National’s accretion adjustments of**$5.0** million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. There wereno pro forma net accretion adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2024.*

(3)* Includes the net impact of American National’s accretion adjustments of**$4.9** million and**$14.8** million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.*

(4)* *For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, excludes American National merger-related costs as noted below.

Merger-related costs associated with the acquisition of American National were$1.1 million and$26.9 million, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and$2.0 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Such costs include employee severance, professional fees, system conversion, and lease and contract termination expenses, which have been expensed as incurred, and are recorded in “Merger-related costs” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of American National subsequent to the acquisition on April 1, 2024. Due to the merging of certain processes and the conversion of American National’s systems during the second quarter of 2024, historical reporting for the former American National operations is impracticable and thus disclosures of the revenue from the assets acquired and income before income taxes is impracticable for the period subsequent to acquisition.

The following table presents additional information related to the acquired American National loan portfolio at the acquisition date, including the initial ACL at acquisition on the PCD loans (dollars in thousands):

Credit Quality Indicators

Credit quality indicators are used to help estimate the collectability of each loan class within the Commercial and Consumer loan segments. For classes of loans within the Commercial segment, the primary credit quality indicator used for evaluating credit quality and estimating the ALLL is risk rating categories of Pass, Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful. For classes of loans within the Consumer segment, the primary credit quality indicator used for evaluating credit quality and estimating ALLL is delinquency bands of current, 30-59, 60-89, 90+, and nonaccrual. While other credit quality indicators are evaluated and analyzed as part of the Company’s credit risk management activities, these indicators are primarily used in estimating the ALLL. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its loan portfolio on at least a quarterly basis.

The Company presents loan and lease portfolio segments and classes by credit quality indicator and vintage year. The Company defines the vintage date for the purpose of this disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. Renewals are categorized as new credit decisions and reflect the renewal date as the vintage date, except for renewals of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty or TLMs, which are presented in the original vintage.

Commercial Loans

The Company uses a risk rating system as the primary credit quality indicator for classes of loans within the Commercial segment. The Company defines pass loans as risk rated 1-5 and criticized loans as risk rated 6-9. See Note 3 “Loans and

Allowance For Loan and Lease Losses” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K for information on the Company’s risk rating system.
