CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2023
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations-Stellar Bancorp, Inc. (“Stellar”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stellar Bank, (the “Bank”, and together with Stellar, collectively referred to herein as “we,” “us”, “our” and the “Company”), provides a diversified range of commercial banking services primarily to small- to medium-sized businesses. The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of the Bank.
We refer to the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”), as the Houston region (“Houston
region”) and the Beaumont-Port Arthur MSA, as the Beaumont region (“Beaumont region”). The Company is focused on delivering a
wide variety of relationship-driven commercial banking products and community-oriented services tailored to meet the needs of small-to medium-sized businesses, professionals and individuals through its 55 banking centers with 38 banking centers in the Houston
region, 16 banking centers in the Beaumont region and one banking center in Dallas, Texas, which we collectively refer to as our
markets.
Basis of Presentation-The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Merger of Equals-On October 1, 2022, Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (“Allegiance”) and CBTX, Inc. (“CBTX”) merged, (the “Merger”), with CBTX, as the surviving corporation that was renamed Stellar Bancorp, Inc. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Allegiance common stock, par value of $1.00 per share, was converted into the right to receive 1.4184 shares of common stock of the Company. Immediately following the Merger, CommunityBank of Texas, N.A. (“CommunityBank”), a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBTX, merged with and into Allegiance Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegiance (the “Bank Merger”), with Allegiance Bank as the surviving bank. In connection with the operational conversion during the first quarter of 2023, Allegiance Bank changed its name to Stellar Bank on February 18, 2023.
The Merger constituted a business combination and was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, Allegiance was the accounting acquirer and CBTX was the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Allegiance became the historical financial statements of the combined company for all periods prior to October 1, 2022 (the “Merger Date”). In addition, the assets and liabilities of CBTX have been recorded at their estimated fair values and added to those of Allegiance as of October 1, 2022. The determination of fair value required management to make estimates about discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are subjective and subject to change.
The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflect Allegiance's historical results and do not include the historical results of CBTX. The Company has substantially completed its valuations of CBTX’s assets and liabilities. The Merger had a significant impact on all aspects of the Company’s financial statements, and financial results for periods after the Merger are not comparable to financial results for periods prior to the Merger. The number of shares issued and outstanding, earnings per share, capital surplus, dividends paid and all references to share quantities of the Company have been retrospectively adjusted to
reflect the equivalent number of shares issued to holders of Allegiance common stock in the Merger. See Note 2 – Acquisitions in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the impact of the Merger.
Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting and reporting policies can be found in Note 1 of the Company’s annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." became effective for the Company for the first quarter of 2023 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") accounting model for creditors that have already adopted Topic 326, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss model. In lieu of the TDR accounting model, the Company applies the general loan modification guidance in Subtopic 310-20 to all loan modifications, including modifications made for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty on a prospective basis. Under the general loan modification guidance, a modification is treated as a new loan only if the following two conditions are met: (1) the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms for comparable loans to other customers with similar collection risks; and (2) modifications to the terms of the original loan are more than minor. If either condition is not met, the modification is accounted for as the continuation of the old loan with any effect of the modification treated as a prospective adjustment to the loan’s effective interest rate.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Merger of Equals
As described in Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies, the Merger was completed on October 1, 2022.
Allegiance merged with and into CBTX with the surviving corporation renamed Stellar Bancorp, Inc. At the effective date of the Merger, each outstanding share of Allegiance common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.4184 shares of common stock of the Company.
The Company issued 28.1 million shares of its common stock to Allegiance shareholders in connection with the Merger, which represented 54.0% of the voting interests in the Company upon completion of the Merger. In accordance with FASB ASC 805-40-30-2, the purchase price in a reverse acquisition is determined based on the number of equity interests the legal acquiree would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal acquirer the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse acquisition.
The table below summarizes the ownership of the combined company following the Merger, for each shareholder group, using shares of CBTX and Allegiance common stock outstanding at September 30, 2022 and Allegiance’s closing price on September 30, 2022 (shares in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Stellar Bancorp, Inc. Ownership |
| Number of CBTX Outstanding Shares | | Percentage Ownership |
CBTX shareholders | 24,015 | | | 46.0 | % |
Allegiance shareholders | 28,137 | | | 54.0 | % |
Total | 52,152 | | | 100.0 | % |
| | | |
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting, which means that for accounting and financial reporting purposes, Allegiance was deemed to have acquired CBTX in the Merger, even though CBTX was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, Allegiance's historical financial statements are the historical financial statements of the combined company for all periods prior to October 1, 2022 (the “Merger Date”).
Total acquisition and merger-related expenses recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $6.2 million and $451 thousand, respectively.
3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill and core deposit intangible assets were as follows:

Goodwill is recorded on the acquisition date of an entity. During the measurement period, the Company may record subsequent adjustments to goodwill for provisional amounts recorded at the acquisition date.

If any such impairment is determined, a write-down is recorded. As of March 31, 2023, there were no impairments recorded on goodwill and other intangible assets.

As of March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recognized on available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. This is based upon our analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to our available for sale securities and in consideration of our historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Furthermore, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.
The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations at any time with or without call or prepayment penalties.
