The Wealth Management and Trust segment is comprised of Boston Private Wealth LLC (“Boston Private Wealth”), an independent registered investment adviser (“RIA”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, and the trust operations of Boston Private Bank. The segment provides comprehensive wealth management solutions for high net worth individuals and families, including customized investment solutions, wealth planning, trust, and family office services. The Wealth Management and Trust segment operates in New England, Southeast Florida, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California.
The Affiliate Partners segment is comprised of Dalton, Greiner, Hartman, Maher & Co., LLC (“DGHM”) and KLS Professional Advisors Group, LLC (“KLS”), each of which are RIAs. DGHM serves the needs of pension funds, endowments, trusts, foundations and select institutions, mutual funds and high net worth individuals and their families throughout the United States and abroad. DGHM specializes in value-driven equity portfolios with products across the capitalization spectrum. DGHM is located in New York, with one affiliate administrative office in South Florida. KLS provides comprehensive, planning-based financial strategies to high net worth individuals and their families, and nonprofit institutions. The services the firm offers include fee-only financial planning, tax planning, tax preparation, estate and insurance planning, retirement planning, charitable planning and intergenerational gifting and succession planning. KLS manages investments covering a wide range of asset classes for both taxable and tax-exempt portfolios. KLS has offices in New York and Southern California. Together, the Wealth Management and Trust and Affiliate Partners segments are referred to as the “Wealth and Investment” businesses.
The Affiliate Partners segment had four consolidated affiliates included in its results for 2018: DGHM; KLS; Anchor Capital Advisors, LLC (“Anchor”); and Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough, LLC (“BOS”). In December 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire ownership interest in Anchor in a transaction that resulted in Anchor being majority-owned by members of its management team, which transaction closed in April 2018. In October 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire ownership interest in BOS to the management team of BOS, which transaction closed in December 2018. The results of Anchor and BOS for the periods held through the respective closing dates are included in the results of the Affiliate Partners segment and the Company.
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its three reportable segments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, and the portion of income allocated to the owners of DGHM, Anchor, and BOS other than the Company is included in “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of operations for the period owned. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets reflect the maximum redemption value of agreements with other owners.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all necessary adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are required for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Prior period amounts are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation. The Company identified an immaterial change relating to the presentation of equity securities at

fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The impact was a change in the presentation of cash flows relating to $12.0 million of purchases and $15.9 million of sales, which were previously presented as investments securities available-for-sale but should have been presented as equity securities at fair value, within investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , as filed with the SEC. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same significant accounting policies, except for the following new accounting pronouncements from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) that were adopted effective January 1, 2019:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This update and the related amendments to Topic 842 require lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”); ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”); and ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements (“ASU 2019-01”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard was effective on January 1, 2019. The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2019. The most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for real estate operating leases, providing significant new disclosures about leasing activities, and the impact of additional assets on certain financial measures such as capital ratios and return on average asset ratios. Additionally, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, as prescribed by ASU 2016-02. The Company elected not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases nor the lease classification of those leases. The Company also elected not to reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases. On adoption, the Company recognized approximately $124 million of lease liabilities and $108 million of ROU assets.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,  Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)  (“ASU 2018-15”). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2018-15. This update is effective on a retrospective basis for the Company beginning January 1, 2021. The Company early adopted this update on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16,  Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting  (“ASU 2018-16”). ASU 2018-16 introduces OIS Rate based on the SOFR as an acceptable US benchmark interest for purposes of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 because the Company has already adopted ASU 2017-12. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 and the update did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of the redemption values related to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), an increase in redemption value from period to period reduces income attributable to common shareholders. Decreases in redemption value from period to period increase income attributable to common shareholders, but only to the extent that the cumulative change in redemption value remains a cumulative increase since adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2019, the redemption value decreased below the original value upon adoption of the standard in the first quarter of 2009. As such, subsequent decreases in the redemption value will not have an impact on EPS, but subsequent increases in redemption value will have an impact to the extent the original value is surpassed.

The diluted EPS computations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 do not assume the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of the following shares for the following periods because the result would have been anti-dilutive for the periods indicated. As a result of the anti-dilution, the potential common shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are as follows:

3. Reportable Segments
Management Reporting
The Company has three reportable segments: Private Banking, Wealth Management and Trust, and Affiliate Partners, as well as the Parent Company (Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc.) (the “Holding Company”). The financial performance of the Company is managed and evaluated by these three segments. The segments are managed separately as a result of the concentrations in each function.
The Company’s CEO is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CEO is also the CEO of the Bank which comprises the Private Banking segment. The President of Private Banking, Wealth Management and Trust oversees the Wealth Management and Trust segment and reports to the CEO of the Company. The day-to-day activities of the Company’s affiliates (within the Affiliate Partners segment) are managed by the affiliate CEOs. Executive management has authority with respect to the allocation of capital within their segments, management oversight responsibility, performance assessments, and overall authority and accountability for all of the affiliates within their segment. The Company’s CEO communicates with the affiliate CEOs and the President of Private Banking, Wealth Management and Trust regarding profit and loss responsibility, strategic planning, priority setting and other matters. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer reviews all affiliate financial detail with the CODM on a monthly basis.
Description of Reportable Segments
Private Banking
The Private Banking segment operates primarily in three geographic markets: New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California.
The Bank currently conducts business under the name of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company in all markets. The Bank is chartered by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is insured by the FDIC. The Bank is principally engaged in providing private banking services to high net worth individuals, privately owned businesses and partnerships, and nonprofit organizations. In addition, the Bank is an active provider of financing for affordable housing, first-time homebuyers, economic development, social services, community revitalization and small businesses.
Wealth Management and Trust
The Wealth Management and Trust segment is comprised of the trust operations of the Bank and the operations of Boston Private Wealth. The segment offers investment management, wealth management, family office, and trust services to

Affiliate Partners

The Affiliate Partners segment is comprised of DGHM and KLS, each of which are RIAs.

DGHM serves the needs of pension funds, endowments, trusts, foundations and select institutions, mutual funds and high net worth individuals and their families throughout the United States and abroad.

The Company previously had four reportable segments whereby the Affiliate Partners segment was bifurcated into two segments: Investment Management and Wealth Advisors. At the start of 2018, both the Investment Management and Wealth Advisors segments each had two consolidated affiliates. On April 13, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its ownership interest in Anchor. Anchor was previously in the Investment Management segment. On December 3, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its ownership interest in BOS. BOS was previously in the Wealth Advisory segment. The results of Anchor and BOS for the periods owned are included in the results of the Affiliate Partners segment and the Company. See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3: Asset Sales and Divestitures” in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information.

All mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, or government-sponsored entities.
As of March 31, 2019 , the U.S. government and agencies securities, government-sponsored entities securities and mortgage-backed securities in the first table above had current Standard and Poor’s credit ratings of AA. The municipal bonds in the first table above had a current Standard and Poor’s credit rating of at least AA-. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired as the decline in fair value on investments is primarily attributed to changes in interest rates and not credit quality.
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the amount of investment securities in an unrealized loss position greater than 12 months, as well as in total, was primarily due to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had no intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell any of these securities prior to the full recovery of all unrealized loss amounts.
Cost method investments
The Company invests in low-income housing tax credits, which are included in other assets, to encourage private capital investment in the construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. The Company makes these investments as an indirect subsidy that allows investors, such as the Company, in a flow-through limited liability entity, such as limited

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

partnerships or limited liability companies that manage or invest in qualified affordable housing projects, to receive the benefits of the tax credits allocated to the entity that owns the qualified affordable housing project. The Company also holds partnership interests in venture capital funds formed to provide financing to small businesses and to promote community development.
Cost method investments, which are included in other assets, can be temporarily impaired when the fair values decline below the amortized costs of the individual investments. There were no cost method investments with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . The Company’s cost method investments primarily include low income housing partnerships which generate tax credits. The Company also holds partnership interests in venture capital funds formed to provide financing to small businesses and to promote community development. The Company had $57.3 million and $54.4 million in cost method investments included in other assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

5.    Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined under GAAP as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when valuation can be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or models using inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data of substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable and when determination of the fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

The Company has adopted a special trust for the Deferred Compensation Plan called a “rabbi trust.” The rabbi trust is an arrangement that is used to accumulate assets that may be used to fund the Company’s obligation to pay benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan. To prevent immediate taxation to the executives who participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan, the amounts placed in the rabbi trust must remain subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. The investments chosen by the participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan are mirrored by the rabbi trust as a way to minimize the earnings volatility of the Deferred Compensation Plan.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , available-for-sale securities consisted of U.S. government and agencies securities, government-sponsored entities securities, municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. Available-for-sale Level 2 securities generally have quoted prices but are traded less frequently than exchange-traded securities and can be priced using market data from similar assets and include government-sponsored entities securities, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, “off-the-run” U.S. Treasury securities, and certain investments in SBA loans (which are categorized as U.S. government and agencies securities). “Off-the-run” U.S. Treasury securities are Treasury bonds and notes issued before the most recently issued bond or note of a particular maturity. When Treasuries move to the secondary over-the-counter market, they become less frequently traded, therefore, they are considered “off-the-run”. No investments held as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 were categorized as Level 3.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, equity securities consisted of Level 1 money market mutual funds that are valued with prices quoted in active markets.
In managing its interest rate and credit risk, the Company utilizes derivative instruments including interest rate customer swaps, interest rate swaps, and risk participation agreements. As a service to its customers, the Company may utilize derivative instruments including customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, if any. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, and therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 8: Derivatives and Hedging Activities” for further details.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, 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, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting agreements, as well as considering the amount of collateral securing the position.
The Company has determined that the majority of inputs used to value its derivatives are within Level 2. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
Trading securities held in the rabbi trust consist of publicly traded mutual fund investments that are valued at prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as Level 1 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
The Company accounts for its investments held in the rabbi trust in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. The investments held in the rabbi trust are classified as trading securities. The assets of the rabbi trust are carried at their fair value within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the securities are recorded as an increase or decrease in other income each quarter. The deferred compensation liability reflects the market value of the securities selected by the participants and is included within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recorded as an increase or decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense each quarter.
There were no transfers for assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 . During the year ended December 31, 2018 , five U.S. Treasury securities totaling $33.4 million transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 as the securities were determined to be “off-the-run”. There were no other transfers for assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
There were no Level 3 assets valued on a recurring basis at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 .
There were no changes in the valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value.
The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Impaired loans include those loans that were adjusted to the fair value of underlying collateral as required under ASC 310, Receivables . The amount does not include impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the respective loan’s original effective interest rate, as that amount is not considered a fair value measurement. The Company uses appraisals, which management may adjust to reflect estimated fair value declines, or may apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of the property or consideration of broker quotes. The appraisers use a market, income, and/or a cost approach in determining the value of the collateral. Therefore they have been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

The aggregate fair value amounts presented above do not represent the underlying value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Company taken as a whole as they do not reflect any premium or discount the Company might recognize if the assets were sold or the liabilities sold, settled, or redeemed. An excess of fair value over book value on financial assets represents a premium, or gain, the Company might recognize if the assets were sold, while an excess of book value over fair value on financial liabilities represents a premium, or gain, the Company might recognize if the liabilities were

sold, settled, or redeemed prior to maturity. Conversely, losses would be recognized if assets were sold where the book value exceeded the fair value or liabilities were sold where the fair value exceeded the book value.
The fair value estimates provided are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and the characteristics of the financial instrument. The estimates do not provide for any premiums or discounts that could result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Company’s financial instruments, certain fair value estimates are based on subjective judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the financial instruments, future expected loss experience, prepayment assumptions, and other factors. The resulting estimates involve uncertainties and are considered best estimates. Changes made to any of the underlying assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities and are classified as Level 1.
Investment securities held-to-maturity
Investment securities held-to-maturity currently include mortgage-backed securities and a U.S. Treasury security. The U.S. Treasury security held as of March 31, 2019 is an "on-the run" U.S. Treasury security and therefore it has been categorized as a Level 1 measurement. The U.S. Treasury security held as of December 31, 2018 is an “off-the-run” U.S. Treasury security, therefore, it has been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The mortgage-backed securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. The principal market for our securities portfolio is the secondary institutional market, with an exit price that is predominantly reflective of bid level pricing in that market. Accordingly, held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities are included in the Level 2 fair value category.
There were no transfers of the Company's financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Fair value estimates are based on actual commitments to sell the loans to investors at an agreed upon price or current market prices if rates have changed since the time the loan closed. Accordingly, loans held for sale are included in the Level 2 fair value category.
Loans, net
Fair value estimates are based on loans with similar financial characteristics. Following the adoption of ASU 2016-01 in 2018, the Company updated its process for estimating the fair value of loans, net of allowance for loan losses. The updated process estimates the fair value of loans using the exit price notion, which includes identifying an exit price using current market information for origination rates and making certain adjustments to incorporate credit risk, transaction costs and other adjustments utilizing publicly available rates and indexes. Loans, net are included in the Level 3 fair value category based upon the inputs and valuation techniques used. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 15: Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information on ASU 2016-01.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets consist of accrued interest and fees receivable, and stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2.

22

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Deposits
The fair values reported for transaction accounts (demand, NOW, savings, and money market) equal their respective book values reported on the balance sheet and are classified as Level 2. The fair values disclosed are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are estimated based on contractual cash flows discounted at the Bank’s incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings with similar maturities and have been classified as Level 2.
Federal funds purchased
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, if any, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and therefore these funds have been classified as Level 2.
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings
The fair values reported for FHLB borrowings are estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is based on the Bank’s estimated current incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings of similar maturities and therefore these borrowings have been classified as Level 2.
Junior subordinated debentures
The fair values of the junior subordinated debentures issued by Boston Private Capital Trust I and Boston Private Capital Trust II are estimated using Level 3 inputs such as the interest rates on these securities, current rates for similar debt, a consideration for illiquidity of trading in the debt, and regulatory changes that would result in an unfavorable change in the regulatory capital treatment of this type of debt.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities consists of accrued interest payable for which the carrying amount approximates fair value and is classified as Level 2.
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
The Bank’s commitments to originate loans and for unused lines and outstanding letters of credit are primarily at market interest rates and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

6.    Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality
The Bank’s lending activities are conducted principally in the regions of New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California. The Bank originates single and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, commercial tax-exempt loans, construction and land loans, and home equity and other consumer loans. Most loans are secured by borrowers’ personal or business assets. The ability of the Bank’s single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic conditions within the Bank’s lending areas. Commercial, construction, and land borrowers’ ability to repay is generally dependent upon the health of the economy and real estate values, including, in particular, the performance of the construction sector. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changing conditions in the New England, San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California economies and real estate markets.

The Bank’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest is in doubt. In certain instances, although infrequent, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The Bank’s policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six consecutive months). For troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”), a return to accrual status generally requires timely payments for a period of six months in accordance with the restructured loan terms, along with meeting other criteria.

Nonaccrual and delinquent loans are affected by many factors, such as economic and business conditions, interest rates, unemployment levels, and real estate collateral values, among others. In periods of prolonged economic decline, borrowers may become more severely affected over time as liquidity levels decline and the borrower’s ability to continue to make payments deteriorates. With respect to real estate collateral values, the declines from the peak, as well as the value of the real estate at the time of origination versus the current value, can impact the level of problem loans. For instance, if the loan to value ratio at the time of renewal has increased due to the decline in the real estate value since origination, the loan may no longer meet the Bank’s underwriting standards and may be considered for classification as a problem loan dependent upon a review of risk factors.
Generally when a collateral dependent loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank will continue to obtain updated appraisals as deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining property values.
The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Bank uses a risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. Loan classifications are assessments made by the Bank of the status of the loans based on the facts and circumstances known to the Bank, including management’s judgment, at the time of assessment. Some or all of these classifications may change in the future if there are unexpected changes in the financial condition of the borrower, including but not limited to, changes resulting from continuing deterioration in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Bank operates adversely affecting, among other things, real estate values. Such conditions, as well as other factors which adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service or repay loans, typically result in changes in loan default and charge-off rates, and increased provisions for loan losses, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance and financial condition. These circumstances are not entirely foreseeable and, as a result, it may not be possible to accurately reflect them in the Company’s analysis of credit risk. Generally, only commercial loans, including commercial real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, commercial tax-exempt loans, and construction and land loans, are given a numerical grade.
A summary of the rating system used by the Bank, repeated here from Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , follows:
Pass - All loans graded as pass are considered acceptable credit quality by the Bank and are grouped for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan losses. For residential, home equity and consumer loans, the Bank classifies loans as pass unless there is known information such as delinquency or client requests for modifications which, due to financial difficulty, would then generally result in a risk rating such as special mention or more severe depending on the factors.
Special Mention - Loans rated in this category are defined as having potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or the Bank’s credit position. These loans are currently protected but have the potential to deteriorate to a substandard rating. For commercial loans, the borrower’s financial performance may be inconsistent or below forecast, creating the possibility of liquidity problems and shrinking debt service coverage. In loans having this rating, the primary source of repayment is still good, but there is increasing reliance on collateral or guarantor support. Collectability of the loan is not yet in jeopardy. In particular, loans in this category are considered more variable than other categories, since they will typically migrate through categories more quickly.
Substandard - Loans rated in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard credit has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans may be either still accruing or nonaccruing depending upon the severity of the risk and other factors such as the value of the collateral, if any, and past due status.
Doubtful - Loans rated in this category indicate that collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, is highly questionable and improbable. Loans in this category are usually on nonaccrual and classified as impaired.

Recorded investment represents the client loan balance net of historical charge-offs and historical nonaccrual interest paid, if applicable, which was applied to principal.
When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, the loan is designated as impaired.
Loans that are designated as impaired require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding either the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans or the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan’s contractual effective interest rate, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent. Generally, shortfalls in the analysis on collateral dependent loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off.
Loans in the held for sale category are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate and are excluded from the allowance for loan losses analysis.

As of March 31, 2019 , the Bank has pledged $2.7 billion of loans in a blanket lien agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB"). The Bank also has $517.3 million of loans pledged as collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank (the

30

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

"FRB") for access to their discount window. As of December 31, 2018 , the Bank had pledged $2.6 billion of loans to the FHLB and $540.0 million of loans at the FRB.
The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities which, among other things, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal forgiveness. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , TDRs totaled $10.2 million and $8.0 million , respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , $6.7 million of the $10.2 million in TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2018 , $3.8 million of the $8.0 million in TDRs were on accrual status.
Since all TDR loans are considered impaired loans, they are individually evaluated for impairment. The resulting impairment, if any, would have an impact on the allowance for loan losses as a specific reserve or charge-off. If, prior to the classification as a TDR, the loan was not impaired, there would have been a general or allocated reserve on the particular loan. Therefore, depending upon the result of the impairment analysis, there could be an increase or decrease in the related allowance for loan losses. Many loans initially categorized as TDRs are already on nonaccrual status and are already considered impaired. Therefore, there is generally not a material change to the allowance for loan losses when a nonaccruing loan is categorized as a TDR.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet dates. Management estimates the level of the allowance based on all relevant information available. Changes to the required level in the allowance result in either a provision for loan loss expense, if an increase is required, or a credit to the provision, if a decrease is required. Loan losses are charged to the allowance when available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance when received in cash or when the Bank takes possession of other assets.
The provision/ (credit) for loan losses and related balance in the allowance for loan losses for tax-exempt commercial and industrial loans are included with commercial and industrial. The provision/ (credit) for loan losses and related balance in the allowance for loan losses for tax-exempt commercial real estate loans are included with commercial real estate. There were no charge-offs or recoveries, for any period presented, for both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate tax-exempt loans.
The following tables present the Company’s allowance for loan losses and loan portfolio at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by portfolio segment, disaggregated by method of impairment analysis. The Company had no loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 .

8.    Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and, to a lesser extent, the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are generally determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain loans, deposits, and borrowings. As a service to its customers, the Company may utilize derivative instruments including customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, if any.
The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 :

The guidance in ASU 2017-12 requires that amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income that are included in the assessment of effectiveness should be reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings. Transition guidance for this ASU further states that upon adoption, previously recorded cumulative ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges existing at the adoption date be eliminated by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date. There was a $5 thousand reclassification related to the adoption of ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2018.

The Bank has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Bank defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Bank could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
The Bank also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well- or adequately-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Bank would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
Certain of the Bank’s agreements with its derivative counterparties contain provisions where, if specified, events or conditions occur that materially change the Bank’s creditworthiness in an adverse manner, the Bank may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instruments. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the termination amounts related to collateral determinations of derivatives in a liability position were $11.3 million and $2.2 million , respectively. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative counterparties. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had pledged securities with a market value of $9.0 million against its obligations under these agreements. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had no pledged securities. The collateral posted is typically greater than the current liability position; however, due to timing of liability position changes at period end, the funding of a collateral shortfall may take place shortly following period end.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) -indexed brokered deposits and the LIBOR component of the total cost of certain FHLB borrowings.
To accomplish this objective and strategy, the Bank has entered into a total of three interest rate swaps, one during 2017 with an effective date of March 22, 2017 and two during 2013 with effective dates of August 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014.
The one interest rate swap entered into during 2017 has a notional amount of $60 million with a term of 2.25 years . This interest rate swap will effectively fix the Bank’s interest payments on $60 million in interest-related cash outflows attributable to changes in the LIBOR component of FHLB borrowing liabilities at a rate of 1.65% . The borrowings hedged will initially be expected to be issuances and quarterly rollovers of three-month FHLB advances but may also then include future issuances of three-month repurchase agreements with similar characteristics and/or future issuances of either floating or fixed rate borrowings that are issued with the specific intent to replace the quarterly rollovers of the advances or repurchase agreements.
The two interest rate swaps entered into during 2013 each have a notional amount of $25 million and have terms ranging from five to six years from their respective effective dates. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the Bank’s interest payments on $50 million of its LIBOR-indexed deposit liabilities at rates between 1.76% and 2.03% , with a weighted average rate of 1.89% .
Upon implementation of ASU 2017-12, for derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. A portion of the balance reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s interest rate swaps. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $0.2 million will be reclassified as a decrease in interest expense. The Company monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis.
Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from different services the Bank provides to qualified commercial clients. The Bank offers certain derivative products directly to such clients. The Bank economically hedges derivative transactions executed with commercial clients by entering into mirror-image, offsetting derivatives with third parties. Derivative transactions executed as part of these programs are not designated in ASC 815-qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. Because the derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, the changes in fair value substantially offset through earnings. The net effect on earnings is primarily driven by changes in the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The CVA represents the dollar amount of fair value adjustment related to nonperformance risk of both the Bank and its counterparties. Fees earned in connection with the execution of derivatives related to this program are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in other income. The Bank has interest rate swaps and caps related to this program with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2019 and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019 , there were foreign currency exchange contracts with an aggregate notional amount of less than $0.1 million and as of December 31, 2018 , there were foreign currency exchange contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $0.1 million related to this program.
In addition, as a participant lender, the Bank has guaranteed performance on the pro-rated portion of swaps executed by other financial institutions. As the participant lender, the Bank is providing a partial guarantee, but is not a direct party to the related swap transactions. The Bank has no obligations under the risk participation agreements unless the borrower defaults on their swap transaction with the lead bank and the swap is in a liability position to the borrower. In that instance, the Bank has agreed to pay the lead bank a portion of the swap’s termination value at the time of the default. The derivative transactions entered into as part of these agreements are not designated, as per ASC 815, as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. As of March 31, 2019 , there were seven of these risk participation transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $59.6 million and, as of December 31, 2018 , there were seven of these risk participation transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $59.8 million .

The Bank has also participated out to other financial institutions a pro-rated portion of swaps executed by the Bank. The other financial institution has no obligations under the risk participation agreements unless the borrowers default on their swap transactions with the Bank and the swaps are in liability positions to the borrower. In those instances, the other financial institution has agreed to pay the Bank a portion of the swap’s termination value at the time of the default. The derivative transactions entered into as part of these agreements are not designated, as per ASC 815, as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. As of March 31, 2019 , there were four of these risk participation transactions with a pro-rated notional amount of $20.7 million and, as of December 31, 2018 , there were four of these risk participation transactions with a pro-rated notional amount of $20.7 million .

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of 20.1% , with related tax expense of $4.9 million , was calculated based on a projected 2019 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments and income tax credits. These savings were partially offset by state and local income taxes.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of 21.5% , with related tax expense of $6.0 million , was calculated based on a projected 2018 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was more than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to state and local income taxes and the accounting for investments in affordable housing projects. These items were partially offset by earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is less than the effective tax rate for the same period in 2018 primarily as a result of increased earnings from tax-exempt investments.

10.    Noncontrolling Interests
At the Company, noncontrolling interests consist of equity owned by management of the Company’s respective majority-owned affiliates, DGHM, BOS, and Anchor for the periods in which the Company had an ownership interest in them. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations represents the net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners of the affiliates. Net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners was $0.1 million  and  $1.1 million  for the three-month periods ended  March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.

38

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

On the consolidated balance sheets, noncontrolling interests are included as the sum of the capital and undistributed profits allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners. Typically, this balance is included in a company’s permanent shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. When the noncontrolling interest owners’ rights include certain redemption features, as described in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , such redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified as mezzanine equity and are not included in permanent shareholders’ equity. Due to the redemption features of the noncontrolling interests, the Company had redeemable noncontrolling interests held in mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of $0.7 million and $2.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The aggregate amount of such redeemable noncontrolling equity interests are recorded at the estimated maximum redemption values. The Company had no noncontrolling interests included in permanent shareholder’s equity at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
Each non-wholly owned affiliate operating agreement provides the Company and/or the noncontrolling interests with contingent call or put redemption features used for the orderly transfer of noncontrolling equity interests between the affiliate noncontrolling interest owners and the Company at either a contractually predetermined fair value; multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”); or fair value. The Company may liquidate these noncontrolling interests in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or other forms of consideration dependent on the operating agreement. These agreements are discussed in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .
Generally, these put and call redemption features refer to shareholder rights of both the Company and the noncontrolling interest owners of the Company’s majority-owned affiliate companies. The affiliate company noncontrolling interests generally take the form of limited liability company (“LLC”) units, profits interests, or common stock (collectively, the “noncontrolling equity interests”). In most circumstances, the put and call redemption features generally relate to the Company’s right and, in some cases, obligation to purchase and the noncontrolling equity interests’ right to sell their equity interests. There are various events that could cause the puts or calls to be exercised, such as a change in control, death, disability, retirement, resignation or termination. The puts and calls are generally to be exercised at the then fair value or a contractually agreed upon approximation thereof. The terms of these rights vary and are governed by the respective individual operating and legal documents.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were exclusively related to the rights of DGHM owners. The divestitures of BOS and Anchor in 2018 resulted in the Company no longer carrying noncontrolling interests within permanent shareholders' equity. The following tables present a rollforward of the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests for the periods indicated:

12.    Restructuring
In the first and second quarters of 2016, the Company incurred costs of $1.1 million and $0.9 million , respectively, in continued refinement of the management structure within the Wealth Management and Trust segment. This restructuring was related to the acquisition of Banyan Partners, LLC in 2014. Restructuring expenses incurred since the plan of restructuring was first implemented in 2014 totaled $6.4 million , all within the Wealth Management and Trust segment.
In the third and fourth quarters of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $5.8 million , $2.1 million , and $1.6 million , respectively, in connection with a previously announced reduction in force to the Company’s workforce of approximately 7% of total staffing, executive transition changes, and other employee benefit and technology related initiatives. The restructuring is intended to improve the Company’s operating efficiency and enhance earnings.

13.    Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 et al . As stated in Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the implementation of the new standard did not have an impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition .
ASC 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest income on loans and investment securities. In addition, certain noninterest income such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, late fees, BOLI income, and derivatives are also not in scope of the new guidance. ASC 606 is applicable to noninterest income such as investment management fees, wealth advisory fees, wealth management and trust fees, and certain banking fees. However, the recognition of this revenue did not change upon adoption of ASC 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest income considered in-scope of ASC 606 is discussed below.
Investment management fees
Investment management fees are earned for the management of a series of accounts and funds in which clients invest directly, acting as a sub-advisor to larger investment management companies, or private client account management. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon either the beginning-of quarter (in advance) or quarter-end (in arrears) market value of the assets under management and advisory (“AUM”) and the applicable fee rate, depending on the terms of the contract. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company may earn performance-based incentives on certain contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item.
All of the investment management fee income on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is considered in-scope of ASC 606.
Wealth advisory fees
Wealth advisory fees are earned for providing financial advisory services to clients. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time as the financial advisory services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly based either on a fixed fee amount or are based on the quarter-end (in arrears) market value of the AUM and the applicable fee rate (“asset based fees”), depending on the terms of the contract. Payment on fixed fee contracts is received based on a schedule outlined in the contract, while payment on asset based fees are generally received a few days after quarter end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. No performance based incentives are earned on wealth advisory contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item. Deferred revenues related to the fixed fee contracts of $6.7 million and $6.2 million at March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet within the other liabilities line item.

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

All of the wealth advisory fee income on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is considered in-scope of ASC 606.
Wealth management and trust fees
Wealth management and trust fees are earned for providing investment management, wealth management, retirement plan advisory, family office, financial planning, and trust services to clients. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is satisfied over time as the wealth management services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly based on the average monthly, beginning-of-quarter, or, for a small number of clients, end-of-quarter market value of the AUM and the applicable fee rate, depending on the terms of the contract. No performance based incentives are earned on wealth management contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item.
Trust fees are earned when the Company is appointed as trustee for clients. As trustee, the Company administers the client’s trust and manages the assets of the trust including investments and property. The Company’s performance obligation under these agreements is satisfied over time as the administration and management services are provided. Fees are recognized monthly or, in certain circumstances, quarterly based on a percentage of the market value of the account as outlined in the agreement. Payment frequency is defined in the individual contracts which primarily stipulate monthly in arrears. No performance based incentives are earned on trust fee contracts. Receivables are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in the fees receivable line item.
All of the wealth management and trust fee income on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is considered in-scope of ASC 606.
Other banking fee income
The Bank charges a variety of fees to its clients for services provided on the deposit and deposit management related accounts. Each fee is either transaction-based or assessed monthly. The types of fees include service charges on accounts, overdraft fees, maintenance fees, ATM fee charges, credit card charges, and other miscellaneous charges related to the accounts. These fees are not governed by individual contracts with clients. They are charges to clients based on disclosures presented to clients upon opening these accounts along with updated disclosures when changes are made to the fee structures. The transaction-based fees are recognized in revenue when charged to the client based on specific activity on the client’s account. Monthly service/maintenance charges are recognized in the month they are earned and are charged directly to the client’s account.
The Bank also charges fees for treasury activities such as foreign exchange fees for clients with a banking relationship. These fees are recorded when earned via completion of the transaction for the client. The completion of the transaction is deemed to be the performance obligation of the transaction. The related revenue is recorded through a direct charge to the client’s account. There are no individual agreements or contracts with clients as it relates to foreign exchange fees as they are governed by client disclosure statements and the Bank’s internal policies and procedures.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , $0.7 million and $0.9 million , respectively, of other banking fee income as described above is considered in-scope for ASC 606.

14.    Lease Accounting

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02. As stated in Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, the implementation of the new standard will have a material effect on the financial statements. The most significant effects relate to the recognition of new operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet for real estate operating leases, providing significant new disclosures about leasing activities, and the impact of additional assets on certain financial measures such as capital ratios and return on average asset ratios. On adoption, the Company recognized approximately $124 million of lease liabilities and $108 million of ROU assets on the face of the balance sheet. ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities are net of tenant improvement allowances and deferred rent. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows upon adoption, since the net impact of all adjustments recorded upon transition represents non-cash activity.
The Company, as lessee, has 42 real estate leases for office and ATM locations classified as operating leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The terms of the real estate leases generally have annual increases in payments based off of a fixed or variable rate, such as the Consumer Price Index rate, that is outlined within the respective contracts. Generally, the initial terms of the leases for our leased properties range from five to fifteen years. Most of the leases also include options to renew at fair market value for periods of five to ten years at contractually agreed upon rates or at market rates at the time of the extension. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates whether the renewal of each

lease is reasonably certain. The Company has two leases that have not yet commenced but do not create unusual risks or obligations to the Company. If the lease doesn’t provide the implicit interest rate, the Bank uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of lease payments. No other significant judgments or assumptions were made in applying the requirements of ASU 2016-02.

15.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)  (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 replaces existing revenue recognition standards and expands the disclosure requirements for revenue agreements with customers. ASU 2014-09 has been subsequently amended by additional ASUs, including ASU 2016-08,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)  and ASU 2016-12,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, collectively , “ASU 2014-09  et al. ” Under the new standard, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09  et al . does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and securities. ASU 2014-09  et al . was adopted using the modified retrospective transition method as of January 1, 2018, however no cumulative effect adjustment was required. This new guidance was applied to all revenue contracts in place at the date of adoption. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 13: Revenue Recognition.”
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This ASU requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value, net of tax, recognized in net income. As a result of implementing this standard, the Company reclassified $339 thousand in unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity investments, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, this amendment requires that entities use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. As a result of implementing this standard, the Company’s updated process includes identifying a fair value for loans using the exit price notion. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5: Fair Value Measurements” for further details.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This update and the related amendments to Topic 842 require lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”); ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”); and ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements (“ASU 2019-01”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model ("ROU") that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard was effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted these provisions on January 1, 2019. The most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for real estate operating leases and providing significant new disclosures about leasing activities. Additionally, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, as prescribed by ASU 2016-02. The Company elected not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases nor the lease classification of those leases. The Company also elected not to reassess any initial direct costs for any existing leases. On adoption, the Company recognized approximately $124 million of lease liabilities and $108 million of ROU assets. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 14: Lease Accounting” for further details.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments (Topic 326)  (“ASU 2016-13”). This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on

45

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is available as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, but the Company does not plan on adopting early. The Company plans to adopt on January 1, 2020 utilizing a modified retrospective approach and is currently assessing the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Management assembled a project team that has developed an approach for implementation including selecting a third-party software service provider, assessing the key differences and gaps between its current allowance methodologies and models with those it is considering to use upon adoption and identifying the necessary data requirements. The Company has also begun developing accounting policies and establishing internal controls relevant to the updated methodologies and models.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). This amendment requires an employer to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, $177 thousand and $135 thousand , respectively, are presented within other expense that would have been presented within salaries and employee benefits prior to adoption of ASU 2017-07.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12,  Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities  (“ASU 2017-12”). The standard is intended to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and to reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2018 with a modified retrospective transition. As a result of implementing this standard, the Company reclassified $5 thousand in unrealized losses on derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. This ASU will provide more flexibility in the Company’s risk management activities and we believe it will enhance the Company’s ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,  Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”) . This update was issued to address a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of the change in the tax law. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which, among other significant changes, lowers the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. This update requires a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act. ASC 740 requires that the tax effects of changes in tax rates be recognized in income tax expense/ (benefit) attributable to continuing operations in the period in which the law is enacted. As a result, the tax effect of accumulated other comprehensive income does not reflect the appropriate tax rate. The amendments in this ASU would eliminate the stranded tax effects associated with the change in the federal corporate income tax rate related to the Tax Act and would improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted this ASU on December 31, 2017 and made a one-time reclassification of  $1.5 million  from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, which is reflected in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”), and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). These updates clarify the guidance in ASU 2016-02 which introduced Topic 842 and add an additional transition method for leases. ASU 2018-11 allows entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date (January 1, 2019 for the Company) and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. This transition method is in addition to the initial modified retrospective transition method, which would require an entity to initially apply the new leases standard (subject to specific transition requirements and optional practical expedients) at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. Lessees also must provide the new and enhanced disclosures in the period of adoption; ASU 2018-11 would not require the amended disclosures of Topic 842 for comparative periods. The Company adopted these provisions along

46

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

with those of ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019. The Company has elected to use the prospective transition method and has deemed a cumulative effect adjustment not necessary at adoption. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 14: Lease Accounting” for further details.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. Among other changes, this update removes the requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This update adds to required disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is still assessing the potential disclosure impact for these amendments and whether to adopt the provisions prior to January 1, 2020.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”). The amendments in ASU 2018-14 remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. This update is effective on a retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is still assessing the potential impact for this update and how it applies to the Company’s disclosures surrounding its two non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans (“SERP”) and a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) at one of its affiliate companies.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2018-15”). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2018-15. This update is effective on a retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2021. The Company early adopted this update on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting (“ASU 2018-16”). ASU 2018-16 introduces OIS Rate based on the SOFR as an acceptable US benchmark interest for purposes of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 because the Company has already adopted ASU 2017-12. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 and the update did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Includes the AUM at Anchor and BOS of $9.0 billion and $4.5 billion , respectively at March 31, 2018 .
Net income attributable to the Company was $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $22.7 million for the same period in 2018 . The Company recognized total diluted earnings per share of $0.25 and $0.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
Key items that affected the Company’s results in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 include:
Net income attributable to the Company decreased 14% , or $3.2 million , to $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $22.7 million for the same period of 2018 . The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in total revenues of $13.5 million , partially offset by a decrease in total operating expenses of $10.3 million . The decrease year-over-year in both revenues and expenses is primarily driven by the divestitures of Anchor and BOS, while the year-over-year decrease in expenses is also driven by the result of efficiency initiatives. Within operating expenses, a restructuring expense charge of $1.6 million was taken in the first quarter of 2019 .
Net interest income increased 2% to $58.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $57.4 million for the same period of 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by higher yields and volumes on interest-earning assets, partially offset by higher funding costs and lower interest recoveries. The increases in yields and funding costs are due to increases in interest rate benchmarks. Net Interest Margin ("NIM") was 2.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and remained flat compared to the same period in 2018 . Due to the lower federal tax rate beginning in 2018, the adjustment to report NIM on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") has become immaterial, and therefore the Company will only present NIM on a GAAP basis for all periods.

49


Total fees and other income decreased 36% , or $14.5 million , to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $39.7 million for the same period of 2018 . This decrease was primarily driven by the divestitures of Anchor and BOS and due to lower AUM. Total fees and other income represents 30% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to 41% of total revenue for the same period of 2018 .
Total operating expenses decreased 15% , or $10.3 million , to $60.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $70.9 million for the same period of 2018 . The decrease was primarily driven by the divestitures of Anchor and BOS and efficiency initiatives, partially offset by a restructuring expense charge of $1.6 million taken in the first quarter of 2019 .
The Company’s Private Banking segment reported net income attributable to the Company of $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2019 , compared to net income attributable to the Company of $18.2 million for the same period of 2018 . The $0.1 million , or 1% , increase was primarily driven by an increase of $2.0 million in total revenues, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was driven by $1.3 million in restructuring expense and an increase of $1.0 million in both occupancy and equipment and professional fees, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits of $1.9 million from efficiency initiatives. The increase in total revenues was primarily driven by an increase of $1.2 million in net interest income due to higher asset yields, partially offset by higher funding costs and lower interest recoveries.
The Company’s Wealth Management and Trust segment reported net income attributable to the Company of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 , compared to net income attributable to the Company of $1.1 million for the same period of 2018 . The $0.6 million decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in total revenues of $1.3 million due to net outflows of $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2019. Total operating expenses decreased $0.5 million due to lower salaries and employee benefits and professional services from efficiency initiatives, partially offset by a restructuring expense of $0.4 million . Wealth Management and Trust AUM decreased $0.2 billion , or 3% , to $7.6 billion at March 31, 2019 from $7.8 billion at March 31, 2018 . The decrease in AUM is due to net outflows of $0.3 billion, partially offset by positive market action of $0.1 billion for the twelve months ending March 31, 2019 .
The Company completed the sales of its ownership interests in Anchor and BOS on April 13, 2018 and December 3, 2018, respectively. The results of Anchor and BOS through their closing dates, respectively, remain consolidated in the results of the Company and its Affiliate Partners segment through their closing dates and in prior periods, respectively. Results after the close of the transactions will not include Anchor and BOS operations.
The Company’s Affiliate Partners segment reported net income attributable to the Company of  $2.2 million  in the first quarter of 2019 , compared to net income attributable to the Company of  $3.4 million in 2018 . Total revenues, total operating expenses, income tax expense, and noncontrolling interests decreased in the first quarter of 2019 due to the divestitures of Anchor and BOS. AUM, excluding Anchor and BOS, decreased by $0.3 billion, or 4%, to $8.5 billion at March 31, 2019 from $8.9 billion at March 31, 2018 . The decrease in AUM was primarily driven by $0.5 billion in net outflows, partially offset by favorable market returns of $0.2 billion for the twelve months ending March 31, 2019 .

Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its most critical accounting policies upon which its financial condition depends, which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and the analysis for impairment, and income tax estimates. These policies are discussed in Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . There have been no changes to these policies through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 versus March 31, 2018
Net Income. Net income attributable to the Company, which includes income from both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $19.4 million , compared to $22.7 million for the same period in 2018 . The Company recorded net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $19.5 million , compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2018 .

The Company received the final payment related to a revenue sharing agreement with Westfield Capital Management Company, LLC (“Westfield”) in the first quarter of 2018. The Company will not receive additional income from Westfield now that the final payment has been received. The Company recorded net income from discontinued operations of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The Company recognized diluted EPS attributable to common shareholders, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $0.25 per share, compared to $0.27 per share for the same period in 2018 . Net income from continuing operations in both 2019 and 2018 was partially offset by charges that reduce income available to common shareholders. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2: Earnings Per Share” for further detail on these charges to income available to common shareholders.

Net interest income . Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned, primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources, primarily deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. NIM is the amount of net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on interest-earning assets is the amount of annualized interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is equal to annualized interest expense as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities. When credit quality declines and loans are placed on nonaccrual status, NIM can decrease because the same assets are earning less income. Loans graded as substandard but still accruing interest income totaled $42.5 million at March 31, 2019 and could be placed on nonaccrual status if their credit quality declines further.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $58.3 million , an increase of $1.0 million , or 2% , compared to the same period in 2018 . The increase for the three months is primarily driven by higher yields and volumes on loans, partially offset by higher rates paid on deposits and borrowings, higher volume of deposits and lower interest recoveries. The increases in yields and rates paid are due to increases in interest rate benchmarks. NIM was 2.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , and remained flat compared to the same period in 2018 .
Previously, the Company reported NIM on both a GAAP basis and on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis to enhance comparability. Currently, the FTE adjustment for interest income on Non-taxable investments and loans is immaterial due to the decline in the Federal tax rate in 2018 and the recent increases in interest expense. Therefore, FTE has not been applied and for comparison purposes, GAAP amounts are shown for all periods presented.
The following table presents the composition of the Company’s NIM for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .

Interest and dividend income . Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $76.8 million , an increase of $8.5 million , or 12% , compared to the same period in 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by higher yields and volumes on loans, and interest recoveries.
The Bank generally has interest income that is either collected or reversed related to nonaccrual loans each quarter. Based on the net amount collected or reversed, the impact on interest income and related yields can be either positive or negative. In addition, the Bank collects prepayment penalties on certain commercial loans that pay off prior to maturity which could also impact interest income and related yields positively. The amount and timing of prepayment penalties varies from quarter to quarter.
Interest income on commercial and industrial loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $11.0 million , an increase of $2.5 million , or 30% compared to the same period in 2018 . This increase was a result of a 47 basis point increase in the average yield and a 15% increase in the average balance. The increase in the average yield is the result of increases in interest rates, specifically increases to the interest rate benchmarks to which the variable rate loans are tied. The increase in the average balance is related to growth across all regions in which the Bank operates.
Interest income on commercial real estate loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $28.2 million , an increase of $2.0 million , or 8% , compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 41 basis point increase in the average yield, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the average balance. The increase in the average yield is primarily driven by increases in interest rates, specifically increases to the interest rate benchmarks to which the variable rate loans are tied, partially offset by increased competition in all regions in which the Bank operates. The decrease in the average balances is related to the payoff of a small number of loans with large balances, particularly in Southern California. The Company has intentionally allowed certain loans to run-off in the commercial real estate loan portfolio in Southern California where there was an increased exposure to retail loans.
Interest income on construction and land loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $2.6 million , an increase of $0.7 million , or 36% , compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 25% increase in the average balance and a 42 basis point increase in the average yield. The overall yields on construction and land loans fluctuate due to the short-term nature of the loans and the related impact of draws and payoffs. Due to the relatively low balances in construction and land loans, a large draw or pay down can have a significant change in the overall yield depending on the interest rate of the particular loans that caused the balance changes. The increase in the average balance is driven primarily by increased utilization of existing loans, particularly in New England and the San Francisco Bay Area. The increase in the average yield is primarily driven by increases to the interest rate benchmarks to which the variable rate loans are tied.
Interest income on residential mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $25.5 million , an increase of $3.8 million , or 17% , compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 10% increase in the average balance and a 22 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in the average balance is related to the organic growth of the residential loan portfolio at the Bank, particularly in the Southern California and New England markets. The increase in the average yield is related to higher yields on residential mortgage originations and adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans repricing at higher rates due to increases to the interest rate benchmarks to which the loans are tied.
Interest income on home equity loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1.1 million , an increase of 8% compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 67 basis point increase in the average yield, partially offset by a 7% decrease in the average balance. The increase in the average yield is the result of increases in benchmark interest rates, while the decrease in the average balance is primarily driven by reduced demand as a result of the recent increases in benchmark interest rates.
Interest income on other consumer loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1.5 million , a decrease of $0.1 million , or 5% , compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 28% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by a 109 basis point increase in the average yield. The decrease in the average balance is primarily driven by reduced demand resulting from the recent increases in benchmark interest rates. The increase in the average yield is the result of increases in interest rate benchmarks.
Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $6.9 million , a decrease of $0.5 million , or 7% , from the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 17% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by a 24 basis point increase in the average yield. The decrease in the average balance is primarily due to the proceeds from maturing investment securities being utilized to pay down borrowings and to support loan growth. The increase in the average yield is primarily due to newer purchases made at higher interest rates.

53


Interest expense . Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $18.5 million , an increase of $7.5 million , or 68% , compared to the same period in 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing liabilities, as a result of a change in deposit mix and market-wide increase in interest rates over the last twelve months, and increases in the volume of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower volume of borrowings.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $14.1 million , an increase of $7.5 million compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 60 basis point increase in the average rate paid and a 6% increase in the average balance. The increase in the average rate paid on deposits is driven primarily by increases in the rates paid for certificates of deposit and money market demand accounts as benchmark interest rates have increased and a change in deposit mix. The increase in the average balance for interest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by corporate client balances across all regions due to an increased focus on driving deposit growth in order to fund loan growth.
Interest paid on non-deposit interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $4.4 million , flat compared to the same period in 2018 , as a result of a 51 basis point increase in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings and other borrowings and a 104 basis point increase in the average rate paid on junior subordinated debentures, offset by an 8% decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings and other borrowings. The increase in the average rate paid on non-deposit interest-bearing liabilities is primarily driven by the increases in benchmark interest rates to which the instruments are tied. The decrease in average balance for non-deposit interest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by decreased FHLB borrowings as excess cash was utilized to pay down borrowings and fund loan growth.
Provision/ (credit) for loan losses. The Company recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to a credit to the provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the same period in 2018 . The provision credit in the first quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by a decline in criticized loans, partially offset by net changes to loss factors.
The provision/ (credit) for loan losses is determined as a result of the required level of the allowance for loan losses, estimated by management, which reflects the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. The Company incorporates both quantitative and qualitative loss factors to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. Quantitative loss factors are based on historical net charge-offs by loan portfolio. Qualitative factors are estimated by management and include trends in problem loans, economic and business conditions, strength of management, real estate collateral values, and underwriting standards.

Total fees and other income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $14.5 million , or 36% , compared to the same period in 2018 . The decrease in total fees and other income is primarily driven by the decrease in investment management fees as a result of the divestiture of Anchor in the second quarter of 2018 and also the divestiture of BOS in the fourth quarter of 2018, partially offset by increased other banking fee income driven by higher swap fees.

54


AUM managed or advised by the Affiliate Partners was $8.5 billion at March 31, 2019 , a decrease of $13.9 billion, compared to March 31, 2018 . The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the divestitures of Anchor and BOS in 2018, and net outflows of $0.5 billion, partially offset by positive market action of $0.2 billion for the twelve months ending March 31, 2019.
AUM managed or advised by Boston Private Wealth was $7.6 billion at March 31, 2019 , a decrease of $0.2 billion , or 3% , compared to March 31, 2018 . The decrease is primarily driven by net outflows of $0.3 billion, partially offset by positive market action of $0.1 billion for the twelve months ending March 31, 2019.
Other banking fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $0.2 million, or 10% , compared to the same period in 2018 . The increases were due to an increase in swap fee income reflecting higher client demand for loan swap agreements as well as an increase in Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) income.

Total operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $10.3 million , or 15% , compared to the same period in 2018 , primarily due to the divestitures of Anchor and BOS, as well as a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, partially offset by a restructuring expense.
Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of operating expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $11.4 million compared to the same period in 2018 , primarily due to the divestitures of Anchor and BOS in the second and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively. The Company also realized cost savings as a result of the efficiency program that was implemented starting in the third quarter of 2018.
Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2018 due to the increases in rent expense related to new office locations as well as leasehold improvements related to office upgrades and new offices.
Marketing and business development expense for the three months ended  March 31, 2019  decreased  $0.5 million compared to the same period in 2018, primarily driven by the divestitures of Anchor and BOS as well as timing of general Company strategy and marketing campaigns.
Restructuring expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as the Company incurred a restructuring charge of $1.6 million due to executive departures in the first quarter of 2019.
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $0.9 million compared to the same period in 2018 , primarily due to the divestitures of Anchor and BOS.
In 2017, the Bank began working on an initiative to upgrade its information technology. This initiative required the Bank to hire additional employees with expertise in information technology. Recruiters were generally used in the placement of

55


these professionals. The Bank has utilized consultants and temporary employees to assist with the initiative in addition to the new hires. Generally the expenditures in the preliminary project stage were expensed as incurred. Other expenditures related to the application development stage have been capitalized. The capitalized expenditures will be depreciated over the useful life of the asset when the asset is placed in service. The Bank placed certain of these capitalized assets in service in 2018 and anticipates that the majority of the remaining capitalized assets will be placed in service over the next 12 months.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $4.9 million . The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 20.1% , compared to an effective tax rate of 21.5% for the same period in 2018 . See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 9: Income Taxes” for further detail.

Total assets. Total assets increased $77.5 million , or 1% , to $8.6 billion at March 31, 2019 from $8.5 billion at December 31, 2018 , primarily driven by an increase in right-of-use assets, and total loans, partially offset by a decrease in total cash and investments, and total other assets.
Total cash and investments. Total cash and investments (consisting of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities available-for-sale, investment securities held-to-maturity, equity securities at fair value, and stock in the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank) decreased $55.0 million , or 4% , from December 31, 2018 . The decrease on a point-in-time basis was primarily driven by a decrease of $31.0 million in cash and a decrease of $18.9 million in investment securities and equity securities. The Company utilized cash and proceeds from maturing investment securities to pay down borrowings and fund loan growth. Total cash and investments represent 14% of total assets at March 31, 2019 and 15% of total assets at December 31, 2018 .

56



The majority of the investments held by the Company are held by the Bank. The Bank’s investment policy requires management to maintain a portfolio of securities which will provide liquidity necessary to facilitate funding of loans, to cover deposit fluctuations, and to mitigate the Bank’s overall balance sheet exposure to interest rate risk, while at the same time earning a satisfactory return on the funds invested. The securities in which the Bank may invest are subject to regulation and are generally limited to securities that are considered “investment grade”.
Investment maturities, redemptions, principal payments, and sales of securities, if any, net of purchases, provided $35.9 million of cash proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $35.5 million in the same period of 2018 . The Company used these cash proceeds primarily to fund loan growth. The timing of sales and reinvestments is based on various factors, including management’s evaluation of interest rate trends, credit risk, and the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio carried a total of $6.3 million of unrealized gains and $15.0 million of unrealized losses at March 31, 2019 , compared to $2.4 million of unrealized gains and $27.1 million of unrealized losses at December 31, 2018 .
No impairment losses were recognized through earnings related to investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired as the decline in fair value on investments is primarily attributed to changes in interest rates and not due to credit quality or other risk factors.
Additionally, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company held $67.5 million and $70.4 million , respectively, of held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost. All of the held-to-maturity securities held at March 31, 2019 were U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, or government-sponsored entities.
See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 4: Investments” for further details of the Company’s investment securities.
Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale at March 31, 2019 decreased $2.5 million , or 90% , compared to the balance at December 31, 2018 . The balance of loans held for sale usually relates to the timing and volume of residential loans originated for sale and the ultimate sale transaction which is typically executed within a short time following the loan origination. From time to time, the Company may also sell loans that have been held in the loan portfolio. The sale of such loans may improve the Bank’s liquidity and capital position or may provide the Bank additional flexibility for more profitable and strategic future lending opportunities.
Goodwill and intangible assets, net. Goodwill and intangible assets, net at March 31, 2019 decreased $0.7 million , or 1% , compared to the balance at December 31, 2018 due to amortization of intangible assets. There was no change to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as trade names are subject to annual impairment tests, or more frequently, if there is indication of impairment, based on guidance in ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Long-lived intangible assets such as advisory contracts are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”).
Management performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2018 for applicable reporting units. The estimated fair value of KLS and Boston Private Wealth each exceeded their carrying value. Management will perform the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing for this year during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Total other assets. Total other assets, as presented in the table above, consists of the following line items from the consolidated balance sheet: OREO, if any; premises and equipment; fees receivable; accrued interest receivable; deferred income taxes, net; ROU assets; and other assets, including assets held for sale, if any. Total other assets at March 31, 2019 increased $100.4 million , or 29% , compared to the balance at December 31, 2018 . These changes resulted from the following factors:
Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized approximately $108 million of ROU assets on the face of the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. As of March 31, 2019 , the amortized balance was $104.6 million . See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 14: Lease Accounting” for further details of the Company’s leases.

57



Premises and equipment decreased $2.5 million , or 5% , to $42.9 million at March 31, 2019 from $45.4 million at December 31, 2018 . The decrease is related to the timing of new purchases, primarily related to the Company's information technology initiatives as well as leasehold improvements.
Deferred income taxes, net decreased $3.8 million , or 14% , to $22.8 million at March 31, 2019 from $26.6 million at December 31, 2018 . The decrease was primarily due to the lower amount of unrealized losses on investment securities within accumulated other comprehensive income and the related deferred tax effect.
Other assets, which consist primarily of BOLI, investment in partnerships, prepaid expenses, the fair value of interest rate derivatives, other receivables, and assets held for sale, if any, increased $2.0 million , or 0.8% , to $248.9 million at March 31, 2019 from $247.0 million at December 31, 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by an increase in accrued interest receivable.
Deposits. Deposits at March 31, 2019 decreased $1.3 million , or under 1%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2018 . Average total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased 6% from the same period in 2018 as shown in the average balance sheet. In September 2018, the Company began a deposit sweep program to sweep Boston Private Wealth excess customer cash balances into a money market deposit account held at the Bank, as compared to a non-affiliated financial company.
Deposits are the principal source of the Bank’s funds for use in lending, investments, and liquidity. Deposit levels can fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of large short-term transactions by commercial clients. Seasonality can also affect the deposit balances.
As a general matter, deposits are a cheaper source of funds than borrowings, because interest rates paid for deposits are typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures, or otherwise, the amount of deposits at the Bank decreases relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may be limited in its ability to grow its loan portfolio or may have to rely more heavily on higher cost borrowings as a source of funds in the future.

(1)
Includes brokered deposits of $463.0 million and $541.1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
Total borrowings. Total borrowings (consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase; federal funds purchased, if any; FHLB borrowings; and junior subordinated debentures) at March 31, 2019 decreased $33.7 million , or 4% , compared to the balance at December 31, 2018 primarily driven by cash and cash flows from investment securities being used to partially pay down outstanding borrowings.
From time to time, the Company purchases federal funds from the FHLB and other banking institutions to supplement its liquidity position. At March 31, 2019 , the Company had no federal funds purchased outstanding compared to $250.0 million at December 31, 2018 .
FHLB borrowings increased $194.9 million , or 46% , to $615.1 million at March 31, 2019 from $420.1 million at December 31, 2018 . The increase was primarily due to asset liability management considerations to reduce the outstanding balance of overnight federal funds purchased with term FHLB borrowings. FHLB borrowings are

58



generally used to provide additional funding for loan growth when it is in excess of deposit growth and to manage interest rate risk, but can also be used as an additional source of liquidity for the Bank.
Repurchase agreements increased $21.4 million to $58.3 million at March 31, 2019 from $36.9 million at December 31, 2018 . Repurchase agreements are generally linked to commercial demand deposit accounts with an overnight sweep feature.
Total other liabilities. Total other liabilities, which consist primarily of lease liabilities, accrued interest, accrued bonus, interest rate derivatives, the unfunded portion of partnership investment commitments, and other accrued expenses, at March 31, 2019 increased $89.5 million , or 62% , compared to the balance at December 31, 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by the addition of lease liabilities from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard as discussed above, partially offset by the payment in the first quarter of 2019 of accrued variable compensation, bonuses, and employee benefits that had been accrued for at December 31, 2018 . See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 14: Lease Accounting” for further details of the Company’s leases.

The Bank specializes in lending to individuals, real estate investors, and middle market businesses, including corporations, partnerships, associations and nonprofit organizations. Loans made by the Bank to individuals may include residential mortgage loans and mortgage loans on investment or vacation properties, unsecured and secured personal lines of credit, home equity loans, and overdraft protection. Loans made by the Bank to businesses include commercial and mortgage loans, revolving lines of credit, working capital loans, equipment financing, community lending programs, and construction and land loans. The types and sizes of loans the Bank originates are limited by regulatory requirements.

The Bank’s loans are affected by the economic and real estate markets in which they are located. Generally, commercial real estate, construction, and land loans are affected more than residential loans in an economic downturn. The ability to grow the loan portfolio is partially related to the Bank's ability to increase deposit levels. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures, or otherwise, deposit levels at the Bank decrease relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may be limited in its ability to grow its loan portfolio or may need to increase higher cost borrowings to fund growth in the loan portfolio.

Regional percentage totals may not reconcile due to rounding.
Allowance for loan losses . The allowance for loan losses is reported as a reduction of outstanding loan balances and totaled $73.8 million and $75.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

60



The allowance for loan losses decreased $1.5 million to $73.8 million , or 1.07% of total loans, as of March 31, 2019 from $75.3 million , or 1.09% of total loans, as of December 31, 2018 . The decrease in the overall allowance for loan losses was primarily due to a decline in criticized loans, partially offset by net changes to loss factors. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7: Allowance for Loan Losses” for an analysis of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.
An analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio as well as management judgment is used to determine the estimated appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s allowance for loan losses is comprised of three primary components (general reserves, allocated reserves on non-impaired special mention and substandard loans, and allocated reserves on impaired loans). See Part II. Item 8. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6: Allowance for Loan Losses” and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further information.
The following table presents a summary of loans charged-off, net of recoveries, by geography for the periods indicated. The geography assigned to the data is based on the location of the regional offices to which the loans are attributed.

There were $0.1 million in net charge-offs recorded in the first quarter of 2019 , compared to less than $0.1 million of net charge-offs for the same period of 2018 .
Nonperforming assets. The Company’s nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO, if any. OREO consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure proceedings and real estate acquired through acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure. As of March 31, 2019 , nonperforming assets totaled $12.0 million , or 0.14% of total assets, a decrease of $2.5 million , or 17% , compared to $14.5 million , or 0.17% of total assets, as of December 31, 2018 .
The Bank’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement is in doubt. Despite a loan having a current payment status, if the Bank has reason to believe it may not collect all principal and interest on the loan in accordance with the related contractual terms, the Bank will generally discontinue the accrual of interest income and will apply any future interest payments received to principal. Of the $12.0 million of loans on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2019 , $5.9 million, or 49%, had a current payment status, $0.8 million, or 7%, were 30-89 days past due, and $5.3 million, or 44% , were 90 days or more past due. Of the $14.1 million of loans on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2018 , $3.6 million, or 26%, had a current payment status, $0.8 million, or 5%, were 30-89 days past due, and $9.7 million, or 69%, were 90 days or more past due.
The Bank continues to evaluate the underlying collateral of each nonperforming loan and pursue the collection of interest and principal. Where appropriate, the Bank obtains updated appraisals on collateral. Reductions in fair values of the collateral for nonaccrual loans, if they are collateral dependent, could result in additional future provision for loan losses depending on the timing and severity of the decline. See Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 6: Loans Portfolio and Credit Quality” for further information on nonperforming loans.
Delinquencies. The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more. Loans 30-89 days past due decreased $4.6 million , or 21% , to $17.7 million as of March 31, 2019 from $22.3 million as of December 31, 2018 . Loan delinquencies can be attributed to many factors, such as continuing weakness in, or deteriorating, economic conditions in the region in which the collateral is located, the loss of a tenant or lower lease rates for commercial borrowers, or the loss of income for consumers and the resulting liquidity impacts on the borrowers. Further deterioration in the credit condition of these delinquent loans could lead to the loans going to nonaccrual status and/or being downgraded. Downgrades would generally result in additional provision for loan losses. Past due loans may be included with accruing substandard loans.
In certain instances, although very infrequently, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the

61



process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .
Impaired Loans. Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment in the allowance for loan losses totaled $17.2 million as of March 31, 2019 , an increase of $1.6 million , or 10% , compared to $15.6 million as of December 31, 2018 . As of March 31, 2019 , $1.9 million of the individually evaluated impaired loans had $0.3 million in specific reserve allocations. The remaining $15.3 million of individually evaluated impaired loans did not have specific reserve allocations due to the adequacy of collateral, prior charge-offs taken, interest collected and applied to principal, or a combination of these items. As of December 31, 2018 , $4.2 million of individually evaluated impaired loans had $1.2 million in specific reserve allocations, and the remaining $11.4 million of individually evaluated impaired loans did not have specific reserve allocations.
The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities which, among other things, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal forgiveness. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , TDRs totaled $10.2 million and $8.0 million , respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , $6.7 million of the $10.2 million in TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2018 , $3.8 million of the $8.0 million in TDRs were on accrual status.
Potential Problem Loans.  Loans that evidence weakness or potential weakness related to repayment history, the borrower’s financial condition, or other factors are reviewed by the Bank’s management to determine if the loan should be adversely classified. Delinquent loans may or may not be adversely classified depending upon management’s judgment with respect to each individual loan. The Bank classifies certain loans as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. Potential problem loans consist of accruing classified loans where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in classification of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future. Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors which may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Triggering events for loan downgrades include updated appraisal information, inability of borrowers to cover debt service payments, loss of tenants or notification by the tenant of non-renewal of lease, inability of borrowers to sell completed construction projects, and the inability of borrowers to sell properties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on nonaccrual, be restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provision for loan losses.
As of March 31, 2019 , the Bank has identified $42.5 million in potential problem loans, a decrease of $11.6 million , or 21% , compared to $54.1 million as of December 31, 2018 . Numerous factors impact the level of potential problem loans including economic conditions and real estate values. These factors affect the borrower’s liquidity and, in some cases, the borrower’s ability to comply with loan covenants such as debt service coverage. For instance, when there is a loss of a major tenant in a commercial real estate building, the appraised value of the building generally declines. Loans may be downgraded when this occurs as a result of the additional risk to the borrower in obtaining a new tenant in a timely manner and negotiating a lease with similar or better terms than the previous tenant.

Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the Company’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet its needs for day-to-day operations and material long and short-term commitments. Liquidity risk is the risk of potential loss if the Company were unable to meet its funding requirements at a reasonable cost. The Company manages its liquidity based on demand, commitments, specific events and uncertainties to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity is to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers as well as earnings enhancement opportunities in a changing marketplace.

At March 31, 2019 , the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $96.2 million . The Holding Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $51.0 million at March 31, 2019 . Management believes that the Holding Company and its affiliates, including the Bank, have adequate liquidity to meet their commitments for the foreseeable future.
Management is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets as well as strategies to meet these targets. At March 31, 2019 , consolidated cash and cash equivalents, investment securities available-for-sale and equity securities at fair value, less securities pledged against current borrowings and derivatives, amounted to $1.0 billion, or 12% of total assets, compared to $1.1 billion, or 13% of total assets, at December 31, 2018 . Future loan growth may depend upon the Company’s ability to grow its core deposit levels. In addition, the Company has access to available borrowings through the FHLB totaling $1.4 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Combined, this liquidity totals $2.4 billion, or 28% of assets and 35% of deposits, as of March 31, 2019 , compared to $2.5 billion, or 29% of assets and 37% of deposits, at December 31, 2018 .
The Bank has various internal policies and guidelines regarding liquidity, both on- and off-balance sheet, loans to assets ratio, and limits on the use of wholesale funds. These policies and/or guidelines require certain minimum or maximum balances or ratios be maintained at all times. In light of the provisions in the Bank’s internal liquidity policies and guidelines, the Bank will carefully manage the amount and timing of future loan growth along with its relevant liquidity policies and balance sheet guidelines. As a general matter, deposits are a cheaper source of funds than borrowings, because interest rates paid for deposits are typically less than interest rates charged for borrowings. If, as a result of general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures, or otherwise, the amount of deposits at the Bank decreases relative to its overall banking operations, the Bank may be limited in its ability to grow its loan portfolio or may have to rely more heavily on higher cost borrowings as a source of funds in the future.
Holding Company Liquidity. The Company and the Company’s majority-owned affiliate, DGHM, hold put and call options that would require the Company to purchase (and the noncontrolling interest owner of the majority-owned affiliate to sell) the remaining noncontrolling interest in DGHM at either a contractually predetermined fair value, a multiple of EBITDA, or fair value, as determined by the agreement. At March 31, 2019 , the estimated maximum redemption value for DGHM related to outstanding put options was $0.7 million , all of which could be redeemed within the next 12 months, under certain circumstances, and is classified on the consolidated balance sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interests. These put and call options are discussed in detail in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Although not a primary source of funds, the Holding Company has generated liquidity from the sale of affiliates in the past. Additional funds were generated at the time of the Anchor sale which closed in April 2018 and the BOS sale which closed in December 2018. As part of the sale agreements for both Anchor and BOS, the Company will receive future contingent payments that have an estimated present value of $14.0 million and $13.7 million as at March 31, 2019 , respectively.

65



Dividends from the Bank are limited by various regulatory requirements relating to capital adequacy and retained earnings. See Part II. Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholders Matters, and Issuers Purchases of Equity Securities” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further details.
The Bank pays dividends to the Holding Company, subject to the approval of the Bank’s Board of Directors, depending on its profitability and asset growth. If regulatory agencies were to require banks to increase their capital ratios, or impose other restrictions, it may limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Holding Company and/or limit the amount that the Bank could grow.
Although the Bank’s capital currently exceeds regulatory requirements for capital, the Holding Company could downstream additional capital to increase the rate that the Bank could grow. Depending upon the amount of capital downstreamed by the Holding Company, the approval of the Holding Company’s Board of Directors may be required prior to the payment, if any.
The Company is required to pay interest quarterly on its junior subordinated debentures. The estimated cash outlay for the remaining nine months of 2019 for the interest payments is approximately $3.3 million based on the debt outstanding at March 31, 2019 and estimated LIBOR. LIBOR is expected to be phased out as an index by the end of 2021. The Company will need to negotiate an alternative benchmark rate to be used at the time.
The Company presently plans to pay cash dividends on its common stock on a quarterly basis dependent upon a number of factors such as profitability, Holding Company liquidity, and the Company’s capital levels. However, the ultimate declaration of dividends by the Board of Directors of the Company will depend on consideration of, among other things, recent financial trends and internal forecasts, regulatory limitations, alternative uses of capital deployment, general economic conditions, and regulatory changes to capital requirements. Additionally, the Company is required to inform and consult with the Federal Reserve in advance of declaring a dividend that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid. Based on the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.12 per share, as announced by the Company on January 30, 2019, and estimated shares outstanding, the Company estimates that the amount to be paid out for dividends to common shareholders in the remaining nine months of 2019 will be approximately $30.3 million. The estimated dividend payments in 2019 could increase or decrease if the Company’s Board of Directors votes to increase or decrease, respectively, the current dividend rate, and/or the number of shares outstanding changes significantly.
Bank Liquidity. The Bank has established various borrowing arrangements to provide additional sources of liquidity and funding. Management believes that the Bank currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to current demands. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Boston, and as such, has access to short- and long-term borrowings from that institution. The FHLB can change the advance amounts that banks can utilize based on a bank’s current financial condition as obtained from publicly available data such as FDIC Call Reports. Decreases in the amount of FHLB borrowings available to the Bank would lower its liquidity and possibly limit the Bank’s ability to grow in the short-term. Management believes that the Bank has adequate liquidity to meet its commitments for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the above liquidity, the Bank has access to the FRB discount window facility, which can provide short-term liquidity as “lender of last resort”. The use of non-core funding sources, including brokered deposits and borrowings, by the Bank may be limited by regulatory agencies. Generally, the regulatory agencies prefer that banks rely on core-funding sources for liquidity.
From time to time, the Bank purchases federal funds from the FHLB and other banking institutions to supplement its liquidity position. At March 31, 2019 , the Bank had unused federal fund lines of credit totaling $530.0 million, compared to $465.0 million at December 31, 2018, with correspondent institutions to provide it with immediate access to overnight borrowings. At March 31, 2019 , the Bank had no outstanding borrowings under the federal fund lines. At  December 31, 2018 , the Bank had $100.0 million outstanding borrowings under the federal funds lines with these correspondent institutions along with an additional $150.0 million of outstanding borrowings under federal funds lines with the FHLB. Certain liquidity sources, such as federal funds lines, may be withdrawn by the correspondent bank at any time especially in the event of financial deterioration of the institution.
The Bank has negotiated brokered deposit agreements with several institutions that have nationwide distribution capabilities. The Bank participates in deposit placement services that can be used to provide customers to expanded deposit insurance coverage. At March 31, 2019 , the Bank had $463.0 million of brokered deposits outstanding under these agreements, compared to $541.1 million at December 31, 2018 .

66



If the Bank is no longer able to utilize the FHLB for borrowing, collateral currently used for FHLB borrowings could be transferred to other facilities such as the FRB’s discount window. In addition, the Bank could increase its usage of brokered deposits. Other borrowing arrangements may have higher rates than the FHLB would typically charge.

Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2019 was $778.8 million , compared to $754.0 million at December 31, 2018 , an increase of $24.9 million . The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily the result of net income attributable to the Company and the change in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends paid to common shareholders.     
The Company and the Bank are subject to capital rules issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). Under these rules, the Company and the Bank are each required to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6.0%, a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0%, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. Additionally, these rules require the Company and the Bank to establish a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for “adequately capitalized” institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets, or face restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses, and to engage in share repurchases.
A Federal Reserve-supervised institution, such as the Bank, is considered “well capitalized” if it (i) has a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% or greater; (iii) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to risk-weighted assets of 6.5% or greater; (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (iv) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. The Bank is currently considered “well capitalized” under all regulatory definitions.
The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital and related ratios as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Also presented are the minimum requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC as of those dates for the Company and the Bank, respectively, to meet applicable capital requirements and the requirements of the FDIC as of those dates for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” under all regulatory definitions. The Federal Reserve and the Massachusetts Division of Banks may impose higher capital ratios than those listed below based upon the results of regulatory exams.
