PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Glacier Bancorp, Inc., headquartered in Kalispell, Montana, is a Montana corporation incorporated in 2004 as a successor corporation to the Delaware
corporation originally incorporated in 1990. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, when
appropriate. The Company is a publicly-traded company and its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol:
GBCI. We provide a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses from 221 locations in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming,
Colorado, Arizona and Nevada through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Glacier Bank (“Bank”). We offer a wide range of banking products and
services, including: 1) retail banking; 2) business banking; 3) real estate, commercial, agriculture and consumer loans; and 4) mortgage origination and loan
servicing. We serve individuals, small to medium-sized businesses, community organizations and public entities. For information regarding our lending,
investment and funding activities, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
The Company includes the parent holding company and the Bank. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank consists of seventeen bank divisions and a corporate
division. The bank divisions operate under separate names, management teams and advisory directors and include the following:
• Glacier Bank (Kalispell, Montana) with operations in Montana;
• First Security Bank of Missoula (Missoula, Montana) with operations in Montana;
• Valley Bank of Helena (Helena, Montana) with operations in Montana;
• First Security Bank (Bozeman, Montana) with operations in Montana;
• Western Security Bank (Billings, Montana) with operations in Montana;

The corporate division includes the Bank’s investment portfolio and wholesale borrowings, and other centralized functions. We consider the Bank to be our
sole operating segment.
The Bank has subsidiary interests in variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Bank has both the power to direct the VIE’s significant activities and
the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These subsidiary interests are included
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Bank also has subsidiary interests in VIEs for which the Bank does not have a controlling
financial interest and is not the primary beneficiary. These subsidiary interests are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The parent holding company owns non-bank subsidiaries that have issued trust preferred securities which qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital instruments.
The trust subsidiaries are not included in our consolidated financial statements. Our investments in the trust subsidiaries are included in other assets on our
statements of financial condition.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries were not engaged in any operations in foreign countries.

Recent Acquisitions
Our strategy is to profitably grow our business through internal growth and selective acquisitions. We continue to look for profitable expansion
opportunities primarily in existing and new markets in the Rocky Mountain and Western states. We have completed the following acquisitions during the
last five fiscal years:

2021 acquisition.
Commercial banking is a highly competitive business and operates in a rapidly changing environment. There are a large number of depository institutions
including commercial banks, savings and loans, and credit unions in the markets in which we have locations. Competition is also increasing for deposit and
lending services from internet-based competitors. Non-depository financial service institutions, primarily in the securities, insurance and retail industries,
have also become competitors for retail savings, investment funds and lending activities. In addition to offering competitive interest rates, the principal
methods used by the Bank to attract deposits include the offering of a variety of services including online banking, mobile banking and convenient office
locations and business hours. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and rate adjustment provisions, loan maturities, loan fees,
relationships with customers and the quality of service.
The following table summarizes our number of locations, the number of counties we serve and the percentage of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) insured deposits we have in those counties for each of the eight states we operate in. Percent of deposits are based on the FDIC summary of
deposits survey as of June 30, 2022 and does not include any bank division acquired after such date.

Human Capital
As of December 31, 2022, we employed 3,552 persons, 3,235 of whom were employed full time. No employees were represented by a collective
bargaining group. We believe our employees are united by our commitment to serve our customers and communities and that our customers are best served
by a staff of competent, caring employees who are customer oriented. Our employees are one of our most valuable assets. We consider our employee
relations to be excellent.
We strive to provide a safe and gratifying workplace for our employees. We promote and support a work environment free from any form of harassment,
discrimination, bullying, or retaliation, and we are committed to principles of equal employment opportunity and to taking affirmative steps to hire and
advance qualified minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans. We also encourage employee growth and development in a
variety of ways, including through formal and informal training, relationships with colleagues and internal mentors, and by making a variety of resources
available.
The Company has established a Training Committee charged with creating company-wide training expectations for employees to encourage adherence to
internal policies and procedures and compliance with the variety of laws and regulations applicable to our operations. We also strive to offer
multidisciplinary educational opportunities for employees to improve their knowledge and skills for their current positions, as well as to create
opportunities to advance within the organization. Other targeted development opportunities are available for group leaders and promising employees, such
as tuition support for employees seeking additional degrees or certifications through our Tuition Reimbursement program.
Our employee’s overall health and well-being is a top priority. It is our goal for all employees to work hard and experience a high quality work life, but we
also encourage employees to be active participants in our communities, and to enjoy quality time with their families and cultivate their independent
interests. We have developed several programs to encourage a safe and healthy workplace, including:
Through our Injury and Illness Prevention Program, we have established protocols for minimizing work place injuries and incidents. Instilling safety as a
standard of practice is facilitated by a Safety Committee at each of our banking divisions and by Safety & Wellness Ambassadors at each location.
We also believe employee retention is critical to our success, and we are proud of our track record when it comes to retaining employees, including many
employees at institutions we acquire. Retention strategies are woven into all our compensation and retirement programs, and even our efforts at expansion.
We provide our qualifying employees with a comprehensive benefit program, including health, dental and vision insurance, life and accident insurance,
short- and long-term disability coverage, vacation and sick leave. In addition we offer a Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan, stock-based compensation plan,
deferred compensation plans, and a supplemental executive retirement plan for certain employees (“SERP”). For select management-level employees, we
also offer our Short and Long-Term Incentive Plans, which are cash and equity-based compensation plans, respectively, that are designed to encourage
achievement of short and long-term financial goals as our determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from time to time, and to further
retention through long-term vesting of certain awards earned. See Note 14 in the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” for detailed information regarding employee benefit plans and eligibility requirements.
We have continued to adjust our operations as needed as the coronavirus disease of 2019 (“COVID-19”) has evolved and the federal, state and local
response to the pandemic has changed. While most of our employees have returned to physical locations, we have continued to make work from home
options available to those who are able to do their jobs remotely. In addition, we have continued to offer a special time off benefit to employees affected by
the virus or exposure to the virus, and to make other adjustments to our benefit programs to address pandemic-related issues. Throughout the COVID-19
pandemic, we have remained focused on the health and safety of our associates, especially our associates that have been required to work in person,
including by continuing to implement various safety protocols in our facilities consistent with local regulatory requirements and providing support to
employees who have been affected by COVID-19.

committees is set forth under the heading “Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors - Committees and Committee Membership” in the
Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement (“Proxy Statement”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
Website Access
Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or
furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge through our website
(www.glacierbancorp.com) as soon as reasonably practicable after we have filed the material with, or furnished it to, the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Copies can also be obtained by accessing the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
These statutes and regulations, as well as related policies, continue to be subject to change by Congress, state legislatures, and federal and state regulators.
Changes in statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies applicable to us (including their interpretation or implementation) cannot be predicted and could
have a material effect on our business and operations. Numerous changes to the statutes, regulations, and regulatory policies applicable to us have been
made or proposed in recent years. Continued efforts to monitor and comply with new regulatory requirements add to the complexity and cost of our
business and operations.
The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve and the Montana Department of Administration’s Division of Banking and
Financial Institutions (“MT Division of Banking”) and regulation generally by the State of Montana. The Company is also subject to the disclosure and
regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are both administered by
the SEC. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC, the MT Division of Banking, and, with respect to Bank branches outside of the
State of Montana, the respective regulators in those states. In addition, we are subject to the direct supervision of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(“CFPB”) which is empowered to exercise broad rulemaking, supervision, and enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws.
Holding Company Bank Ownership. The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before: 1)
acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own
or control more than 5 percent of such shares; 2) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or 3) merging or
consolidating with another bank holding company.
Holding Company Control of Non-banks. With some exceptions, the BHCA prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5 percent of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or
indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to
these prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities that, by federal statute, agency regulation, or order, have been identified as activities closely related to
the business of banking or managing or controlling banks.
Transactions with Affiliates. Bank subsidiaries of a bank holding company are subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of
credit to the holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in securities, and on the use of securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. The
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) further extends the definition of an “affiliate” and treats credit
exposure arising from derivative transactions, securities lending, and borrowing transactions as covered transactions under the regulations. It also 1)
expands the scope of covered transactions required to be collateralized; 2) requires collateral to be maintained at all times for covered transactions required
to be collateralized; and 3) places limits on acceptable collateral. These regulations and restrictions may limit the Company’s ability to obtain funds from
the Bank for its cash needs, including funds for payments of dividends, interest, and operational expenses.
7
Tying Arrangements. We are also prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of
property, or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions, we may not condition an extension of credit to a customer on either 1) a
requirement that the customer obtain additional services provided by us; or 2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a
competitor.
Support of Bank Subsidiaries. Under Federal Reserve policy and the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company is required to act as a source of financial and
managerial strength to the Bank. This means that the Company is required to commit, as necessary, capital and resources to support the Bank, including at
times when the Company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources or when it may not be in the Company's or its stockholders' best
interests to do so. Any capital loans a bank holding company makes to its bank subsidiaries are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of
the bank subsidiaries.
State Law Restrictions under Corporate Law. As a Montana corporation, the Company is subject to certain limitations and restrictions under applicable
Montana corporate law. For example, Montana corporate law includes limitations and restrictions relating to indemnification of directors, distributions to
shareholders, transactions involving directors, officers, or interested shareholders, maintenance of books, records, and minutes, and observance of certain
corporate formalities.
Consumer Protection. The Bank is subject to a variety of federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations that govern its relationships and
interactions with consumers, including laws and regulations that impose certain disclosure requirements and that govern the manner in which the Bank
takes deposits, makes and collects loans, and provides other services. In recent years, examination and enforcement by federal and state banking agencies
for compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations have increased and become more intense. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations
may subject the Bank to various penalties, including but not limited to enforcement actions, injunctions, fines, civil monetary penalties, criminal penalties,
punitive damages, and the loss of certain contractual rights. The Bank has established a comprehensive compliance system to ensure consumer protection.
Community Reinvestment. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”) requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions
within their jurisdictions, federal bank regulators evaluate the record of financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities,
including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A bank’s community reinvestment
record is also considered by the applicable banking agencies in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. In some
cases, a bank's failure to comply with the CRA, or CRA protests filed by interested parties during applicable comment periods, can result in the denial or
delay of such transactions. The Bank received a “satisfactory” rating in its most recent CRA examination. In May 2022, federal bank regulators released a
notice of proposed rule-making to “strengthen and modernize” CRA regulations and the related regulatory framework. Future changes in the
evaluation process or requirements under CRA could impact the Bank’s costs of compliance and rating.
Insider Credit Transactions. Banks are subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their
related interests. These extensions of credit 1) must be made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) and follow credit
underwriting procedures that are at least as stringent as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the lending
bank; and 2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits
and restrictions on overdrafts to insiders. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, regulatory
enforcement actions, and other regulatory sanctions. The Dodd-Frank Act and federal regulations place additional restrictions on loans to insiders and
generally prohibit loans to senior officers other than for certain specified purposes.
Regulation of Management. Federal law 1) sets forth circumstances under which officers or directors of a bank may be removed by the bank's federal
supervisory agency; 2) as discussed above, places restraints on lending by a bank to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related
interests; and 3) generally prohibits management personnel of a bank from serving as directors or in other management positions of another financial
institution whose assets exceed a specified amount or which has an office within a specified geographic area.
8
Safety and Soundness Standards. Certain non-capital safety and soundness standards are also imposed upon banks. These standards cover, among other
things, internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset
quality, earnings, and stock valuation. In addition, each insured depository institution must implement a comprehensive written information security
program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the institution’s size and complexity and the nature and scope of its
activities. The information security program must be designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against any
unanticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could
result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer, and ensure the proper disposal of customer and consumer information. An institution that fails
to meet these standards may be required to submit a compliance plan, or be subject to regulatory sanctions, including restrictions on growth. The Bank has
established comprehensive policies and risk management procedures to ensure the safety and soundness of the Bank.
Dividends
A principal source of the Company’s cash is from dividends received from the Bank, which are subject to regulation and limitation. As a general rule,
regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound
banking practice. For example, regulators have stated that paying dividends that deplete an institution's capital base to an inadequate level would be an
unsafe and unsound banking practice and that an institution should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. In addition, a bank may
not pay cash dividends if that payment could reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital
requirements. Current guidance from the Federal Reserve provides, among other things, that dividends per share on the Company’s common stock
generally should not exceed earnings per share, measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. In certain circumstances, Montana law also places limits or
restrictions on a bank’s ability to declare and pay dividends.
Rules adopted in accordance with the third installment of the Basel Accords (“Basel III”) also impose limitations on the Bank's ability to pay dividends. In
general, these rules limit the Bank's ability to pay dividends unless the Bank's common equity conservation buffer exceeds the minimum required capital
ratio by at least 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets.
The Federal Reserve has also issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. In general, the policy statement
expresses the view that although no specific regulations restrict dividend payments by bank holding companies other than state corporate laws, a bank
holding company should not pay cash dividends unless the bank holding company’s earnings for the past year are sufficient to cover both the cash
dividends and a prospective rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial
condition. A bank holding company's ability to pay dividends may also be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. The various laws and
regulatory policies applicable to the Company and the Bank may limit our ability to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Corporate Governance. The Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly traded companies to provide their shareholders with 1) a non-binding shareholder vote on
executive compensation; 2) a non-binding shareholder vote on the frequency of such vote; 3) disclosure of “golden parachute” arrangements in connection
with specified change in control transactions; and 4) a non-binding shareholder vote on golden parachute arrangements in connection with these change in
control transactions. The SEC adopted a rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act that requires a public company to disclose the ratio of the compensation of
its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to the median compensation of its employees. This rule is intended to provide shareholders with information that they
can use to evaluate a CEO’s compensation.
Prohibition Against Charter Conversions of Financial Institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act generally prohibits a depository institution from converting from a
state to federal charter, or vice versa, while it is the subject to an enforcement action unless the depository
9
institution seeks prior approval from its primary regulator and complies with specified procedures to ensure compliance with the enforcement action.
Repeal of Demand Deposit Interest Prohibition. The Dodd-Frank Act repealed the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits,
thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB and empowered it to exercise broad rulemaking, supervision, and
enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws. The CFPB has issued and continues to issue numerous regulations under which we
will continue to incur additional expense in connection with our ongoing compliance obligations. Significant recent CFPB developments that may affect
operations and compliance costs include:
• Positions taken by the CFPB on fair lending, including applying the disparate impact theory which could make it more difficult for lenders to
charge different rates or to apply different terms to loans to different customers;
• The CFPB's Final Rule amending Regulation C, which implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring most lenders to report
expanded information in order for the CFPB to more effectively monitor fair lending concerns and other information shortcomings identified by
the CFPB;
• Positions taken by the CFPB regarding the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Federal Reserve Regulation E, which require companies to obtain
consumer authorizations before automatically debiting a consumer’s account for pre-authorized electronic funds transfers;
• Focused efforts on enforcing certain compliance obligations the CFPB deems a priority, such as automobile and student loan servicing (including
certain forbearance requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic), debt collection, collateral repossession, mortgage origination and servicing,
remittances, and fair lending, among others; and
• Positions taken by the CFPB and focused efforts on enforcing compliance obligations related to deposit account fees including overdraft, non-
sufficient funds, and returned deposit fees.
Interchange Fees. Under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve adopted rules establishing standards for assessing whether
the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to certain electronic transactions are "reasonable and proportional" to the costs incurred by issuers for
processing such transactions. Notably, the Federal Reserve's rules set a maximum permissible interchange fee, among other requirements. We have been
subject to the interchange fee cap since July 1, 2019.
Stress Testing
In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRC Act”) was signed into law, rolling back certain provisions
of the Dodd-Frank Act to provide regulatory relief to financial institutions. In relevant part, the EGRRC Act raised the applicability threshold for company-
run stress testing required under the Dodd-Frank Act by exempting bank holding companies under $100 billion in total assets and raising the asset
threshold for covered banks from $10 billion to $250 billion. In November of 2019, the FDIC adopted a Final Rule to implement these changes. As a result,
we are not currently subject to the Dodd-Frank Act stress testing requirements.
Capital Adequacy
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal regulatory agencies, which
involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory guidelines. Capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. The capital requirements are
intended to ensure that institutions have adequate capital given the risk levels of assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments and are applied
separately to the Company and the Bank.
Federal regulations require insured depository institutions and bank holding companies to meet several minimum capital standards, including: 1) a common
equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5 percent; 2) a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6 percent; 3) a total capital to risk-based assets
ratio of 8 percent; and 4) a 4 percent Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio. These minimum capital requirements became effective in January 2015 and
were the result of Final Rules implementing regulatory changes based on the recommendation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain
requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Final Rules").
The Final Rules also require a capital conservation buffer designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to comply with this buffer
requirement may result in constraints on capital distributions (e.g., dividends, equity repurchases, and certain bonus compensation for executive officers).
The Final Rules change the risk-weights of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios and phase out certain instruments as qualifying
capital. For additional information regarding trust preferred securities and their impact to regulatory capital, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
10
The Final Rules also contain revisions to the prompt corrective action framework, which is designed to place restrictions on an insured depository
institution if its capital levels begin to show signs of weakness. Under the prompt corrective action requirements, which are designed to complement the
capital conservation buffer, insured depository institutions are required to meet the following increased capital level requirements to qualify as “well
capitalized”: 1) a Tier 1 common equity capital ratio of at least 6.5 percent; 2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8 percent; 3) a total capital ratio of at least 10
percent; 4) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5 percent; and 5) not be subject to any order or written directive requiring a specific capital level. The FDIC’s
rules (as amended by the Final Rules) contain other capital classification categories, such as “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly
undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized,” each of which are based on differing capital ratios. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain
mandatory restrictions, including on capital distributions and growth. Significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized institutions are subject
to additional restrictions. An institution may be downgraded to a category lower than indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined to be in an unsafe or
unsound condition, or if the institution receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.
The application of the Final Rules may result in lower returns on invested capital, require the raising of additional capital or require regulatory action if the
Bank were unable to comply with such requirements. In addition, management may be required to modify its business strategy due to the changes to the
asset risk-weights for risk-based capital calculations and the requirement to meet the capital conservation buffer. The imposition of liquidity requirements
in connection with these rules could also cause the Bank to increase its holdings of liquid assets, change its business strategy, and make other changes to the
terms of its funding.
Examinations. Banks are subject to periodic examinations by their primary regulators. In assessing a bank's condition, bank examinations have evolved
from reliance on transaction testing to a risk-focused approach. These examinations are extensive and cover the entire breadth of the operations of a bank.
Generally, safety and soundness examinations occur on an 18-month cycle for banks under $3 billion in total assets that are well capitalized and without
regulatory issues, and 12-months otherwise. Examinations alternate between the federal and state bank regulatory agencies, and in some cases they may
occur on a combined schedule. The frequency of consumer compliance and CRA examinations is linked to the size of the institution and its compliance and
CRA ratings at its most recent examinations. However, the examination authority of the Federal Reserve and the FDIC allows them to examine supervised
institutions as frequently as deemed necessary based on the condition of the institution or as a result of certain triggering events. Because our total
consolidated assets exceed $10 billion, we are also subject to the direct supervision of the CFPB.
Commercial Real Estate Ratios. The federal banking regulators have also issued guidance reminding financial institutions to reexamine the existing
regulations regarding concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The purpose of the guidance is to guide banks in developing risk management
practices and capital levels commensurate with the level and nature of real estate concentrations. The banking regulators are directed to examine each
bank’s exposure to commercial real estate loans that are dependent on cash flow from the real estate held as collateral and to focus their supervisory
resources on institutions that may have significant commercial real estate loan concentration risk. The guidance provides that the strength of an institution’s
lending and risk management practices with respect to such concentrations will be taken into account in evaluating capital adequacy and does not
specifically limit a bank’s commercial real estate lending to a specified concentration level.

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”),
intended to combat terrorism, was renewed with certain amendments in 2006. In relevant part, the Patriot Act 1) prohibits banks from providing
correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks; 2) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for foreign financial
institutions or wealthy foreign individuals; 3) requires financial institutions to establish an anti-money laundering compliance program; and 4) eliminates
civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity reports. The Patriot Act also includes provisions providing the government with power to investigate
terrorism, including expanded government access to bank account records. Regulators are directed to consider a bank holding company’s and a bank’s
effectiveness in combating money laundering when reviewing and ruling on applications under the BHCA and the Bank Merger Act. We have established
comprehensive compliance programs designed to comply with the requirements of the BSA and Patriot Act.
The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AMLA”), which amends the BSA, was enacted in January 2021. The AMLA is intended to be a comprehensive
reform and modernization to U.S. bank secrecy and anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, it codifies a risk-based approach to anti-money
laundering compliance for financial institutions; requires the U.S. Department of the Treasury to promulgate priorities for anti-money laundering and
countering the financing of terrorism policy; requires the development of standards for testing technology and internal processes for BSA compliance;
expands enforcement- and investigation-related authority, including increasing available sanctions for certain BSA violations; and expands BSA
whistleblower incentives and protections. Many of the statutory provisions in the AMLA will require additional rulemakings, reports and other measures,
and the impact of the AMLA will depend on, among other things, rulemaking and implementation guidance. In June 2021, the Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network, a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, issued the priorities for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of
terrorism policy required under the AMLA. The priorities include: corruption, cybercrime, terrorist financing, fraud, transnational crime, drug trafficking,
human trafficking and proliferation financing.
Deposit Insurance
FDIC Insured Deposits. The Bank's deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, up to the maximum applicable limits and are subject to
deposit insurance assessments by the FDIC, which are designed to tie what banks pay for deposit insurance to the risks they pose. The FDIC determines the
amount of insurance premiums based on the financial institutions’ deposit base and the applicable assessment rate. The Dodd-Frank Act redefined the
assessment base as the average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The FDIC determines the assessment
rate for insured depository institutions with more than $10 billion in assets under a “scorecard” methodology that seeks to capture both the probability that
such an institution will fail and the magnitude of the impact on the DIF if such a failure occurs. Assessment rates are applied to the depository intuition’s
base to determine payments to the DIF. The FDIC has authority to increase assessment rates, and in October 2022 adopted a Final Rule increasing initial
base deposit rate schedules uniformly by two basis points starting with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. The FDIC also communicated that the
new rate schedules will remain in effect unless and until the reserve ratio meets or exceeds two percent; progressively lower assessment rates can be
expected when the reserve ratio goal is met. No institution may pay a dividend if it is in default on its federal deposit insurance assessment. The FDIC may
also prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity determined by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the DIF.
Safety and Soundness. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines after a hearing that the
institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any
applicable law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed by an agreement with the FDIC. Management is not aware of any existing circumstances that
would result in termination of the Bank's deposit insurance.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased FDIC deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The FDIC
insurance coverage limit applies per depositor, per insured depository institution for each account ownership category.
12
encouraging more robust scrutiny of mergers and acquisitions and the related efforts of banking regulators to increase scrutiny of transactions.
Subsequently, in March 2022, the FDIC published a Request for Information (“RFI”) seeking information and comments
regarding the application of the laws, practices, rules, regulations, guidance, and statements of policy that apply to merger transactions
of one or more depository institutions. The FDIC highlighted that significant changes over the past several decades in the banking
industry and financial system necessitate a review of the regulatory framework. The FDIC expressed interest in receiving comments
regarding the effectiveness of the existing frameworks and requirements under the Bank Merger Act. The RFI is intended to inform
future FDIC policy on the matter.
We cannot predict the ultimate impact of any such initiatives on our operations, competitive situation, financial conditions, or results of operations, or
whether any other proposals will emerge. Recent history has demonstrated that new legislation or changes to existing laws or regulations typically result in
a greater compliance burden (and therefore increase the general costs of doing business), and the new administration under President Biden has
demonstrated a general intent to regulate the financial services industry more strictly than the administration of his predecessor, including with respect to its
review of proposed change in control transactions.
Cybersecurity
In February 2018, the SEC published interpretive guidance to assist public companies in preparing disclosures about cybersecurity risks and incidents.
These SEC guidelines, and any other regulatory guidance, are in addition to notification and disclosure requirements under state and federal banking law
and regulations.
The federal banking regulators regularly issue new guidance and standards, and update existing guidance and standards, intended to enhance cyber risk
management among financial institutions. Financial institutions are expected to comply with such guidance and standards and to accordingly develop
appropriate security controls and risk management processes. If we fail to observe such regulatory guidance or standards, we could be subject to various
regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.
In November 2021, the federal banking agencies adopted a Final Rule, with compliance required by May 1, 2022, establishing new notification
requirements for banking organizations. The new rule requires banks to notify their primary banking regulator within 36 hours of determining that a
“computer-security incident” rising to the level of a “notification incident,” has occurred. A “notification incident” is one that materially affects, or is likely
to affect, the viability of the banking organization’s operations and services resulting in material loss, or potential impact the stability of the United States.
State regulators have also been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations. Several states have regulations
requiring certain financial institutions to implement cybersecurity programs and many states, including Montana, have also implemented or recently
modified their data breach notification, information security and data privacy requirements. We expect this trend of state-level activity in those areas to
continue, and are continually monitoring developments in the states in which our customers are located.
Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks, including litigation and enforcement risks, are expected to be elevated for the foreseeable future due to
the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of internet banking, mobile banking and other
technology-based products and services by us and our customers.
13
Environmental, Social and Governance
Bank regulatory agencies and the SEC have shown increased interest in environmental, social and governance matters (“ESG”) and expressed an intent to
increase related regulatory oversight of companies efforts to address how ESG issues may affect their business. In 2022, multiple federal regulatory
agencies formalized their intent by issuing proposed policy statements and rules, and by establishing a pilot climate scenario analysis exercise for large
banks. We believe that continued focus on environmental and social issues is consistent with our community banking model. We are continually seeking
ways to improve our stewardship of the environment through recycling programs, resource conservation, empowered employees, construction evaluation,
and more. Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee oversees the Company’s efforts in setting and maintaining high standards for corporate
social responsibility and reviewing our performance in ESG matters. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee’s environmental and social duties
include monitoring and assessing developments, trends and issues related to ESG, monitoring risks and overseeing Company solutions related to ESG,
overseeing our reporting and disclosures related to ESG, overseeing and reviewing at least annually policies and programs related to ESG, overseeing our
human capital management strategy, and evaluating our overall ESG performance and identifying areas for improvement. The Company’s Community and
Social Responsibility Report describes our ESG performance and is located on the Company’s website (www.glacierbancorp.com) under the Governance
Documents section.
The following is a discussion of what we believe are the most significant risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition and future
results of operations. These risks are not the only ones that we face. Other risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or currently believed to be
material may harm our future business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Economic conditions in the market areas the Bank serves may adversely impact its earnings and could increase the credit risk associated with its
loan portfolio and the value of its investment portfolio.
Substantially all of the Bank’s loans are to businesses and individuals in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada, and
adverse economic conditions in these market areas could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects. Deterioration in the national economy as a result of continued inflation, the rising rate environment, and recurring supply chain issues may also
have an adverse effect in these markets.Any future deterioration in economic conditions in the markets the Company serves could result in the following
consequences, any of which could have an adverse impact, which could be material, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects:
Growth through future acquisitions could, in some circumstances, adversely affect profitability or other performance measures.
In the past, we have been active in acquiring banks and bank holding companies, and we may in the future engage in selected acquisitions of additional
financial institutions. There are risks associated with any such acquisitions that could adversely affect profitability and other performance measures. These
risks include, among other things, incorrectly assessing the asset quality of a financial institution being acquired, discovering compliance or regulatory
issues after the acquisition, encountering greater than anticipated cost and use of management time associated with integrating acquired businesses into our
operations, and being unable to
14
profitably deploy funds acquired in an acquisition. We may not be able to continue to grow through acquisitions, and if we do, there is a risk of negative
impacts of such acquisitions on our operating results and financial condition, which could be material.
Acquisitions may also cause business disruptions that cause the Bank to lose customers or cause customers to remove their accounts from the Bank and
move to competing financial institutions. Further, acquisitions may also disrupt the Bank's ongoing businesses or create inconsistencies in standards,
controls, procedures, and policies that adversely affect relationships with employees, clients, customers, and depositors. The loss of key employees during
acquisitions may also adversely affect our business.
We anticipate that we might issue capital stock in connection with future acquisitions. Acquisitions and related issuances of stock may have a dilutive effect
on earnings per share, book value per share, and the percentage ownership of current stockholders. In acquisitions involving the use of cash as
consideration, there will be an impact on our capital position.
If goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions becomes impaired, it could have an adverse impact on earnings and capital.
Accounting standards require us to account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, if the purchase price
of an acquired company exceeds the fair value of its net assets, the excess is carried on the acquirer’s balance sheet as goodwill. In accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment on an
annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. Our goodwill was not considered impaired as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021; however, there can be no assurance that future evaluations of goodwill will not result in findings of impairment and write-
downs, which could be material. Since we have $985 million in goodwill, representing 35 percent of our stockholders' equity, impairment of goodwill
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, even though it is a non-cash item,
significant impairment of goodwill could subject us to regulatory limitations, including the ability to pay dividends on our common stock.
There can be no assurance we will be able to continue paying dividends on our common stock at recent levels.
We may not be able to continue paying quarterly dividends commensurate with recent levels given that our ability to pay dividends on our common stock
depends on a variety of factors. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank
holding companies from paying dividends that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. This is heavily based on our earnings and capital
levels which currently are strong. Current guidance from the Federal Reserve provides, among other things, that dividends per share should not exceed
earnings per share measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. In certain circumstances, Montana law also places limits or restrictions on a bank’s
ability to declare and pay dividends. As a result, our future dividends will generally depend on the level of earnings at the Bank.
The allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect earnings.
The Bank maintains an allowance for credit losses (“ACL” or “allowance”) in an amount that it believes is adequate to provide for losses in the loan
portfolio. While the Bank strives to carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become non-performing, at any time there
are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses, but that have not been identified as non-performing or potential problem loans. With respect to
real estate loans and property taken in satisfaction of such loans (“other real estate owned” or “OREO”), the Bank can be required to recognize significant
declines in the value of the underlying real estate collateral quite suddenly as values are updated through appraisals and evaluations (new or updated)
performed in the normal course of monitoring the credit quality of the loans. There are many factors that can cause the value of real estate to decline,
including declines in the general real estate market, changes in methodology applied by appraisers, and/or using a different appraiser than was used for the
prior appraisal or evaluation. The Bank’s ability to recover on real estate loans by selling or disposing of the underlying real estate collateral is adversely
impacted by declining values, which increases the likelihood the Bank will suffer losses on defaulted loans beyond the amounts provided for in the ACL.
This, in turn, could require material increases in the Bank’s provision for credit losses and ACL. By closely monitoring credit quality, the Bank attempts to
identify deteriorating loans before they become non-performing assets and adjust the ACL accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain, and
if difficult economic conditions occur, there may be loans that deteriorate to a non-performing status in an accelerated time frame. As a result, future
additions to the ACL may be necessary beyond the levels commensurate with any loan growth. Because the loan portfolio contains a number of loans with
relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans may cause a significant increase in non-performing loans, requiring an increase to
the ACL. Additionally, future significant additions to the ACL may be required based on changes in the mix of loans comprising the portfolio, changes in
the financial condition of borrowers, which may result from changes in economic conditions, or changes in the assumptions used in determining the ACL.
Additionally, federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review the Bank’s loan portfolio and the
adequacy of the ACL. These regulatory authorities may require the Bank to recognize further provision for credit losses or charge-offs based upon their
judgments, which may be different from the Bank’s judgments. Any increase in the ACL could have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our
financial condition and results of operations.
15
The Bank’s loan portfolio mix increases the exposure to credit risks tied to deteriorating conditions.
The loan portfolio contains a high percentage of commercial, commercial real estate, real estate acquisition and development loans in relation to the total
loans and total assets. These types of loans have historically been viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans or certain other
types of loans or investments. In fact, the FDIC has issued pronouncements alerting banks of its concern about banks with a heavy concentration of
commercial real estate loans. Moreover, federal bank regulators recently highlighted the increased risk associated with commercial real estate loans as a
result of the stress COVID-19 created for some industries, and the higher vulnerability of these credits to pressure from the current rising interest rate
environment and overall inflationary pressure in the economy. These types of loans also typically are larger than residential real estate loans and other
commercial loans. Because the Bank’s loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large
balances, the deterioration of one or more of these loans may cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans
could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for credit losses, or an increase in charge-offs, which could have a material
adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Bank has a high concentration of loans secured by real estate, so any future deterioration in the real estate markets could require material
increases in the ACL and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The Bank has a high degree of concentration in loans secured by real estate. Any future deterioration in the real estate markets could adversely impact
borrowers’ ability to repay loans secured by real estate and the value of real estate collateral, thereby increasing the credit risk associated with the loan
portfolio. The Bank’s ability to recover on these loans by selling or disposing of the underlying real estate collateral would be adversely impacted by any
decline in real estate values, which increases the likelihood that the Bank will suffer losses on defaulted loans secured by real estate beyond the amounts
provided for in the ACL. This, in turn, could require material increases in the ACL which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
Non-performing assets could increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The Bank may experience increases in non-performing assets in the future. Non-performing assets (which includes OREO) adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations in various ways. The Bank does not record interest income on non-accrual loans or OREO, thereby adversely affecting
its earnings. When the Bank takes collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, it is required to mark the related asset to the then fair value of the
collateral, less estimated cost to sell, which may result in a charge-off of the value of the asset and lead the Bank to increase the provision for credit losses.
An increase in the level of non-performing assets also increases the Bank’s risk profile and may impact the capital levels its regulators believe are
appropriate in light of such risks. Further decreases in the value of these assets, or the underlying collateral, or in these borrowers’ performance or financial
condition, whether or not due to economic and market conditions beyond the Bank’s control, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition, perhaps materially. In addition to the carrying costs to maintain OREO, the resolution of non-performing assets increases the Bank’s
loan administration costs generally, and requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors, which reduces the time they have to
focus on profitably growing our business.
A decline in the fair value of the Bank’s investment portfolio could adversely affect earnings and capital.
The fair value of the Bank’s debt securities could decline as a result of factors including changes in market interest rates, tax reform, credit quality and
credit ratings, lack of market liquidity and other economic conditions. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company may be required to
record an allowance for credit losses or write down the security depending on the type of security and the circumstances. Any such impairment charge
would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our results of operations and financial condition, including capital and stockholders’ equity.
While we believe that the terms of our debt securities have been kept relatively short, we are subject to elevated interest rate risk exposure in the current
rising rate environment. Further, debt securities present a different type of asset quality risk than the loan portfolio. While we believe a relatively
conservative management approach has been applied to the investment portfolio, there is always potential loss exposure under changing economic
conditions.
The Bank is subject to environmental liability risk associated with our lending activities.
A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate, and we could become subject to environmental liabilities with respect to one or more of
these properties. During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing defaulted loans. In doing so, there is a
risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous conditions or toxic substances are found on these properties, we
may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage, civil fines and criminal penalties regardless of when the hazardous
conditions or toxic substances first affected any particular property. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses to address unknown
liabilities and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more
stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. Although we have
policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure on nonresidential real property, these reviews may not be
sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard
could have a material adverse effect on us.
16
We face competition from technologies used to support and enable banking and financial services.
Emerging technologies and advances and the growth of e-commerce have lowered geographic and monetary barriers of other financial institutions, made it
easier for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally were banking products and allowed non-traditional financial service
providers and technology companies to compete with traditional financial service companies in providing electronic and internet-based financial solutions
and services, including electronic securities trading, marketplace lending, financial data aggregation and payment processing, including real-time payment
platforms. Further, clients may choose to conduct business with other market participants who engage in business or offer products in areas we deem
speculative or risky, such as cryptocurrencies. Increased competition may negatively affect our earnings by creating pressure to lower prices or credit
standards on our products and services requiring additional investment to improve the quality and delivery of our technology and/or reducing our market
share, or affecting the willingness of our clients to do business with us.
Fluctuating interest rates can adversely affect profitability and stockholders’ equity.
The Bank’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference (or “spread”) between the interest earned on loans,
investment securities and other interest earning assets and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the
differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce
equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest
rates could adversely affect the Bank’s interest rate spread, and, in turn, profitability. The Bank seeks to manage its interest rate risk within well-established
policies and guidelines. Generally, the Bank seeks an asset and liability structure that insulates net interest income from large deviations attributable to
changes in market rates. However, the Bank’s structures and practices to manage interest rate risk may not be effective in a highly volatile rate
environment. While the federal funds target rate remained at or near historical lows as part of the fiscal response to the pandemic, the Federal Reserve
increasee the federal funds target rate seven times in 2022 for a total annual increase of 425 basis points. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve has
communicated that it anticipates ongoing increases until inflationary pressures subside. Continued increases in interest rates could negatively impact
deposit growth, the value of our investments, stockholders’ equity, and the Bank’s profitability.
We may be impacted by the retirement of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a reference rate.
In July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced that LIBOR may no longer be published after 2021. LIBOR is used extensively
in the U.S and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various commercial and financial contracts.
In March 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) was enacted providing that LIBOR-based contracts that lack fallback
language specifying practicable replacement “benchmarks” will automatically transition to the applicable reference rates recommended by the Federal
Reserve. Subsequently in December 2022, the Federal Reserve issued a Final Rule establishing “benchmark” replacements based on SOFR. However, the
ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the authorized and regulated administrator of LIBOR, expects to continue publishing some LIBOR tenors until
June 2023 and may be compelled to continue publishing other tenors under a different methodology after the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”)
completes a consultation and makes a final determination on the matter (expected in 2023).
Despite the progress made through the LIBOR Act and the Federal Reserve’s Final Rule, it is impossible to predict the effect of any alternatives rates on
the value of LIBOR-based securities and variable rate loans, subordinated debentures or other securities or financial arrangements. The replacement of
LIBOR with one or more alternative rates may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings, including the rates we pay on our
subordinated debentures and derivative financial instruments. When LIBOR rates are no longer available, and we are required to implement substitute
indices for the calculation of interest rates under contracts or financial instruments to which we are a party, we may incur significant expenses in effecting
the transition.
The transition to a new reference rate requires changes to contracts, risk and pricing models, valuation tools, systems, product design and hedging
strategies.
Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, floods, fires, and other natural catastrophes.
With Bank branches located in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada, our business could be affected by a major
natural catastrophe, such as a drought, fire, flood, earthquake, or other natural disaster. The occurrence of any of these events may result in a prolonged
interruption of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
Our future performance will depend on our ability to respond timely to technological change.
The financial services industry is experiencing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services.
The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success will
depend upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for
convenience, as well as create additional efficiencies in our
17
operations. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products or services, or be successful in marketing these products and
services. Additionally, the implementation of technological changes and upgrades to maintain current systems and integrate new ones may cause services
interruptions, transaction processing errors and system conversion delays and may cause us to fail to comply with applicable laws. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to successfully manage the risks associated with increased dependency on technology.
A failure in or breach of the Bank’s operational or security systems, or those of the Bank’s third party service providers, including as a result of
cyber attacks, could disrupt business, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation,
increase costs and cause losses.
In the normal course of its business, the Bank collects, processes and retains sensitive and confidential customer and consumer information. Despite the
security measures we have in place, our facilities may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or
lost data, programming or human errors, and other similar events.
Information security risks for financial institutions such as the Bank have increased recently in part because of new technologies, the use of the Internet and
telecommunications technologies, including mobile devices, to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and
activities of organized crime, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and others. In addition to cyber attacks or other security breaches involving the theft
of sensitive and confidential information, hackers have engaged in attacks against financial institutions designed to disrupt key business services such as
customer-facing web sites. National and international economic and geopolitical conditions may also have a negative impact in the number of cyber
security threats the Bank may face. Most recently, increasing inflation, unemployment, and military action in Ukraine have affected the volume of cyber
threats. We are not able to anticipate or implement effective preventative measures against all security breaches of these types. Although the Bank employs
detection and response mechanisms designed to contain and mitigate security incidents, early detection may be thwarted by sophisticated attacks and
malware designed to avoid detection, which continue to evolve.
Additionally, the Bank faces the risk of operational disruption, failure, termination or capacity constraints of any of the third parties that facilitate its
business activities, including exchanges, clearing agents, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries. Such parties could also be the source of an
attack on, or breach of, the Bank’s operational systems.
Any failures, interruptions or security breaches in the Company’s information systems could damage its reputation, result in a loss of customer business,
result in a violation of privacy or other laws, or expose us to civil litigation, regulatory fines or losses not covered by insurance.
Regulatory Matters
We operate in a highly regulated environment and changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations
or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us.
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking regulators. In addition, as a publicly-traded company, we
are subject to regulation by the SEC. Any change in applicable regulations or federal, state or local legislation or in policies or interpretations or regulatory
approaches to compliance and enforcement, income tax laws and accounting principles could have a substantial impact on us and our operations. Changes
in laws and regulations may also increase expenses by imposing additional fees or taxes or restrictions on operations. Additional legislation and regulations
that could significantly affect powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Failure to appropriately comply with any such laws, regulations or principles could result in sanctions by
regulatory agencies or damage to our reputation, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws or regulations by financial
institutions and bank holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. Existing and proposed federal and state laws and
regulations restrict, limit and govern all aspects of our activities and may affect our ability to expand our business over time, may result in an increase in
our compliance costs, and may affect our ability to attract and
18
retain qualified executive officers and employees. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of
operations, including limiting the types of financial services and products we may offer or increasing the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial
services and products. Additionally, our business is affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies,
including the Federal Reserve.
We cannot accurately predict the full effects of recent legislation or the various other governmental, regulatory, monetary and fiscal initiatives which have
been and may be enacted on the financial markets and on us. The terms and costs of these activities, or the failure of these actions to help stabilize the
financial markets, asset prices, market liquidity and a continuation or worsening of current financial market and economic conditions could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock.
National and international economic and geopolitical conditions could adversely affect our future results of operations or market price of our
stock.
Our business is impacted by factors such as economic, political and market conditions, broad trends in industry and finance, changes in government
monetary and fiscal policies, inflation, and financial market volatility, all of which are beyond our control. National and global economies are constantly in
flux, as evidenced by recent market volatility resulting from, among other things, disruptions in the global supply chain, the effects of inflation, and the
ever-changing landscape of the energy and medical industries. Future economic conditions cannot be predicted, and any renewed deterioration in the
economies of the nation as a whole or in our markets could have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects, and could cause the market price of our stock to decline.
Our business is heavily dependent on the services of members of the senior management team.
We believe our success to date has been substantially dependent on our executive management team. In addition, our unique model relies upon the
Presidents of our separate Bank divisions, particularly in light of our decentralized management structure in which such Bank divisions have significant
local decision-making authority. The unexpected loss of any of these persons could have an adverse effect on our business and future growth prospects.
We could suffer operational, reputational and financial harm if we fail to properly anticipate and manage risk.
We use models and strategies to forecast losses, project revenue, measure and assess capital requirements for credit, market, operational and strategic risks,
and assess and control our operations and financial condition. These models require oversight, ongoing monitoring, and periodic reassessment. Models are
subject to inherent limitations due to the use of historical trends and simplifying assumptions, uncertainty regarding economic and financial outcomes, and
emerging risks from the use of applications that may rely on artificial intelligence. Our models and strategies may not be adequate due to limited historical
data and shocks caused by extreme or unanticipated market changes, especially during severe market downturns or stress events. Regardless of the steps we
take to ensure effective controls, governance, monitoring and testing, and implement new risk management tools, we could suffer operational, reputational
and financial harm if our models and strategies and other risk management tools fail to properly anticipate and manage current and evolving risks.
The continued economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our results of operations and/or the market price of our stock.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions caused significant economic turmoil in the U.S. and around the world, resulting in a slow-down
in economic activity, increased unemployment levels, and disruptions in global supply chains and financial markets. Both the direct effects of the pandemic
and the resulting U.S. and state level governmental responses were and are of an unprecedented scope. The long-term impact of the government actions in
mitigating the health and economic effects of the pandemic cannot be accurately predicted, whether on our business or on the economy as a whole. Despite
improvement in the U.S. and global economies after the initial impact of the pandemic, some adverse consequences, including labor shortages, disruptions
of the global supply chains, and increased inflation, continue to negatively impact the international, national, and local economic environment. In addition,
the Federal government's financial support of the economy and the governments effort's to control the virus and its effects has for the most part ended, and
the effects on the national and local economy of ending that support are yet to be determined. The Company believes it continues to be well positioned to
mitigate the potential financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with a strong liquidity and capital position, and the various measures we have
implemented to manage through the pandemic, including efforts to proactively react to, and work with customers to assess customer needs and provide
funding, flexible repayment options or modifications as necessary, and increased monitoring of credit quality and portfolio risk for industries determined to
have elevated risk
19
characteristics. Nonetheless, any future deterioration in economic conditions in the markets the Bank serves as a consequence of the pandemic, or a failure
of the economy to recover from pandemic-related disruptions as quickly as anticipated, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
Climate change may materially adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations.
Concerns over the long-term effects of climate change have led governmental efforts around the world to mitigate those impacts. Consumers and
businesses also may voluntarily change their behavior as a result of these concerns. The Company and its customers will need to respond to new laws and
regulations as well as consumer and business preferences resulting from climate change concerns. The Company and its customers may face cost increases,
asset value reductions and operating process changes. The impact on our customers will likely vary depending on their specific attributes, including
reliance on or role in carbon-intensive activities. Among the impacts to the Company could be a drop in demand for our products and services, particularly
in certain sectors. In addition, we could face reductions in creditworthiness on the part of some customers or in the value of assets securing loans. The
Company’s efforts to take these risks into account in making lending and other decisions, including by increasing our business with climate-friendly
companies, may not be effective in protecting the Company from the negative impact of new laws and regulations or changes in consumer or business
behavior.

the ability to raise additional capital or grow the Company through acquisitions;
• the projected business and profitability of an expansion or the opening of a new branch could be lower than expected;
• consolidation in the financial services industry in the Company’s markets could result in the creation of larger financial institutions with greater
resources, changing the competitive landscape;

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2021
The Company ended the year at $26.635 billion in assets, which was a $695 million, or 3 percent, increase over the prior year and was driven by the
increase in the loan portfolio that more than offset the decreases in the debt securities. Loan growth, excluding PPP loans, was $1.974 billion, or 15 percent,
during 2022 with increases in all loan categories. The Company experienced core deposit growth during the first three quarters of 2022 with a decrease
during the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of an outflow of excess higher balance deposits previously received during COVID-19. Total core deposits of
$20.575 billion, decreased $737 million, or 3 percent, over the prior year end. Non-interest bearing deposits were 37 percent of total core deposits at year
end 2022 and 2021.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $334 million, or $3.04 per share, which was a direct result of the increase in unrealized loss on AFS debt securities which
was driven by the increased interest rates during 2022. Outside of the unrealized loss component, earnings retention contributed $161.8 million to increased
tangible stockholders’ equity. The Company increased its total regular quarterly dividends declared from $1.27 per share during 2021 to $1.32 per share in
2022.
The Company had record net income for the year of $303 million, which was an increase of $18.4 million, or 6 percent, over the prior year net income of
$285 million. Diluted earnings per share for the year was $2.74, a decrease of 4 percent, from the 2021 diluted earnings per share of $2.86 which was
impacted by the shares issued from the acquisition of Alta. The improvement in net income for 2022 was due to the Alta acquisition in late 2021, organic
loan growth, and controlled operating expenses. This record net income was achieved even with the $43.0 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, the
continuing pressure from the inflationary environment, increasing business costs, and historic rate increases during 2022. The Company's net interest
margin for 2022 was 3.27 percent, a 15 basis points decrease from the net interest margin of 3.42 percent from 2021, which was primarily driven by the
volatile interest rate environment and the increase in higher rate borrowings to fund earning assets.
Looking forward, the Company’s future performance will depend on many factors including economic conditions in the markets the Company serves,
interest rate changes, increasing competition for deposits and loans, loan quality and growth, the impact and successful integration of acquisitions, and
managing regulatory requirements.

decreased $2.93 per share, or 15 percent, from the prior year primarily as a result of the increase in the unrealized loss on AFS debt securities.

Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) 3.27 % 3.42 %
Interest expense of $41.3 million for 2022 increased $22.7 million, or 122 percent over the prior year and was the result of increased borrowings and higher
interest rates. Core deposit cost (including non-interest bearing deposits) was 7 basis points for both 2022 and 2021. The total funding cost (including non-
interest bearing deposits) for 2022 was 18 basis points, which increased 8 basis points compared to 10 basis points in 2021 driven by the increased
borrowing rates and loan balances.
The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, during 2022 was 3.27 percent, a 15 basis points decrease from the net
interest margin of 3.42 percent for the same period in the prior year. The core net interest margin, excluding discount accretion, the impact from non-
accrual interest and the impact from the PPP loans, was 3.20 percent which was a 4 basis point decrease from the core margin of 3.24 percent in the prior
year.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income of $120.7 million for 2022 decreased $24.1 million, or 17 percent, over the same period last year and was principally due to the $43.0
million, or 68 percent, decrease in gain on sale of residential loans. Service charges and other fees of $72.1 million for 2022 increased $12.8 million, or 22
percent, from the prior year as a result of additional fees from increased customer accounts, transaction activity and the acquisition of Alta. Miscellaneous
loan fees and charges increased $3.3 million, or 28 percent, primarily driven by increases in credit card interchange fees due to increased activity and the
acquisition of Alta.

Total non-interest expense of $519 million for 2022 increased $84.0 million, or 19 percent, over the prior year and was primarily driven by the increased
costs from the acquisition of Alta. Total estimated non-interest expense for the Altabank division in 2022 was $75.5 million, an increase of $56.7 million
over prior year non-interest expense of $18.9 million as a result of the acquisition occurring in the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding the increase from the
Altabank division, compensation and employee benefits increased $22.0 million, or 8 percent, over the prior year which was driven by annual salary
increases and a reduction in deferred compensation from loan originations which more than offset the decrease in commission expense resulting from the
slowing of mortgage loan sales. Data processing expense of $30.8 million for 2022, increased $7.4 million, or 31 percent, and was driven by increases from
the Altabank division and expenses associated with technology infrastructure improvements. Other expenses of $87.5 million for 2022 increased $16.9
million, or 24 percent, from the prior year which was driven by increased costs from the Altabank division, general operating cost increases, and increased
fees to outside services associated with technology infrastructure improvements. Acquisition-related expenses were $10.0 million in the current year
compared to $9.8 million in the prior year.

The provision for credit loss expense was $19.9 million for 2022, including provision for credit loss expense of $17.4 million on the loan portfolio and
credit loss expense of $2.5 million on unfunded loan commitments. The prior year credit loss expense of $16.4 million on the loan portfolio included $18.1
million of provision for credit loss from the acquisition of Alta to fully fund an allowance for credit losses post-acquisition.
Excluding the impact from the acquisition of Alta, the provision for credit loss expense of $17.4 million on the loan portfolio in the current year increased
$19.1 million over the prior year which was primarily attributable to organic loan growth during the current year. Net charge-offs during the current year
were $7.8 million compared to $2.3 million during the prior year.

Efficiency Ratio
The efficiency ratio was 54.64 percent for 2022 compared to 51.35 percent for last year. Excluding the impact from the PPP loans and acquisition related
expenses, the efficiency ratio was 53.88 percent in 2022 compared to 53.07 percent in 2021.
Investment Activity
The Company’s investment securities primarily consist of debt securities classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Non-marketable equity
securities consist of capital stock issued by the FHLB of Des Moines.
Debt Securities
Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value and debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized
cost. During the first quarter of the current year, the Company transferred $2.2 billion of available-for-sale securities with an unrealized net loss of $55.7
million into the held-to-maturity portfolio after determining it had the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. During the first quarter of
2021, the Company transferred $404 million of available-for-sale securities with an unrealized net gain of $3.8 million into the held-to-maturity portfolio
after determining it had the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. The Company transferred an additional $440 million of available-for-
sale securities with an unrealized net gain of $40.6 million into held-to-maturity portfolio during the second quarter of 2021. Unrealized gains or losses, net
of tax, on available-for-sale debt securities are reflected as an adjustment to other comprehensive income. The Company’s debt securities are summarized

The Company’s debt securities are primarily comprised of state and local government securities and mortgage-backed securities. In 2022, the Company’s
debt securities were primarily comprised of U.S. government and federal agency and mortgage-backed securities. State and local government securities are
largely exempt from federal income tax and the Company’s federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent is used in calculating the tax-equivalent yields
on the tax-exempt securities. Mortgage-backed securities largely consists of short, weighted-average life U.S. agency guaranteed residential and
commercial mortgage pass-through securities and to a lesser extent, short, weighted-average life U.S. agency guaranteed residential collateralized mortgage
obligations. Combined, the mortgage-backed securities provide the Company with ongoing liquidity as scheduled and pre-paid principal is received on the
securities.
State and local government securities carry different risks that are not as prevalent in other security types. The Company evaluates the investment grade
quality of its securities in accordance with regulatory guidance. Investment grade securities are those where the issuer has an adequate capacity to meet the
financial commitments under the security for the projected life of the investment. An issuer has an adequate capacity to meet financial commitments if the
risk of default by the obligor is low and the full and timely payment of principal and interest are expected. In assessing credit risk, the Company may use
credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO”) entities such as S&P and Moody’s as support for the evaluation;
however,
31
they are not solely relied upon. There have been no significant differences in the Company’s internal evaluation of the creditworthiness of any issuer when
compared with the ratings assigned by the NRSROs.
The following table stratifies the state and local government securities by the associated NRSRO ratings. The highest issued rating was used to categorize
the securities in the table for those securities where the NRSRO ratings were not at the same level.

Mortgage-backed securities, which have prepayment provisions, are not assigned to maturity categories due to fluctuations in their prepayment speeds.
Based on an analysis of its available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined their decline in
value was unrelated to credit loss and was primarily the result of interest rate changes and market spreads subsequent to acquisition. The fair value of the
debt securities is expected to recover as payments are received and the debt securities approach maturity. In addition, the Company determined an
insignificant amount of credit losses is expected on the held-to-maturity debt securities portfolio; therefore, no ACL has been recognized at December 31,
2022.
For additional information on debt securities, see Notes 1 and 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.”

Lending Activity
The Company focuses its lending activities primarily on the following types of loans: 1) first-mortgage, conventional loans secured by residential
properties, particularly single-family; 2) commercial lending, including agriculture and public entities; and 3) installment lending for consumer purposes
(e.g., home equity, automobile, etc.). Supplemental information regarding the Company’s loan portfolio and credit quality based on regulatory classification
is provided in the section captioned “Loans by Regulatory Classification” included in “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.” The regulatory classification of loans is based primarily on the type of collateral for the loans. Loan information
included in “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based on the Company’s loan
segments, which are based on the purpose of the loan, unless otherwise noted as a regulatory classification. The following table summarizes the Company’s

Consumer Land or Lot Loans
The Company originates land and lot acquisition loans to borrowers who intend to construct their primary residence on the respective land or lot. These
loans are generally for a term of three to five years and are secured by the developed land or lot with the loan-to-value limited to the lesser of 75 percent of
the appraised value or 75 percent of the cost.
Construction Loans
During the construction loan term, all construction loan collateral properties are inspected at least monthly, or more frequently as needed, until completion.
Draws on construction loans are predicated upon the results of the inspection and advanced based upon a percentage-of-completion basis versus original
budget percentages. When construction loans become non-performing and the associated project is not complete, the Company on a case-by-case basis
makes the decision to advance additional funds or to initiate collection/foreclosure proceedings. Such decision includes obtaining “as-is” and “at
completion” appraisals for consideration of potential increases or decreases in the collateral’s value. The Company also considers the increased costs of
monitoring progress to completion, and the related collection/holding period costs should collateral ownership be transferred to the Company.
Agricultural Lending
Agricultural lending is conducted on a conservative basis and consists of operating credits, term real estate loans for the acquisition or refinance of
agricultural real estate or equipment, and term livestock loans for the acquisition or refinance of livestock. Loan-to-value on equipment, livestock and
agricultural real estate is generally limited to 75 percent.
PPP Loans
A PPP loan is a small business loan designed to assist qualifying businesses in keeping workers on the payroll during the Covid-19 pandemic. The program
commenced on April 3, 2020 with June 30, 2020 (subsequently changed to August 8, 2020) as the last day to apply for and receive a PPP loan for the first
round. As originally enacted, each PPP loan is 100% guaranteed by the SBA, has a 1% interest rate, 2-year maturity and 6-month payment deferral period
starting from the loan disbursement date. The PPP program was further amended as of June 5, 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act
with the primary changes to extend the period of qualifying expenditures from 8 weeks to 24 weeks, reduce the required use of funds for payroll expenses
from 75% to 60%, change the deferral date from 6 months to the date of forgiveness, and extend the maturity from 2 years to 5 years for loans originated
after the June 5, 2020 enactment date. A second round of the program opened up January 11, 2021, and ran through May 31, 2021.
35
Consumer Lending
The majority of consumer loans are secured by real estate, automobiles, or other assets. The Company intends to continue making such loans because of
their short-term nature, generally between three months and five years. Moreover, interest rates on consumer loans are generally higher than on residential
mortgage loans.
The Company’s loan policy and credit administration practices establish standards and limits for all extensions of credit that are secured by interests in or
liens on real estate, or made for the purpose of financing the construction of real property or other improvements. Ongoing monitoring and review of the
loan portfolio is based on current information, including: the borrowers’ and guarantors’ creditworthiness, value of the real estate and other collateral, the
project’s performance against projections, and monthly inspections by Company employees or external parties until the real estate project is complete.
Monitoring of the junior lien and home equity lines of credit portfolios includes evaluating payment delinquency, collateral values, bankruptcy notices and
foreclosure filings. Additionally, the Company places junior lien mortgages and junior lien home equity lines of credit on non-accrual status when there is
evidence that the associated senior lien is 90 days past due or is in the process of foreclosure, regardless of the junior lien delinquency status.
Interest Reserves
Interest reserves are used to periodically advance loan funds to pay interest charges on the outstanding balance of the related loan. As with any extension of
credit, the decision to establish a loan-funded interest reserve upon origination of construction loans, including residential construction and land, lot and
other construction loans, is based on prudent underwriting, including the feasibility of the project, expected cash flow, creditworthiness of the borrower and
guarantors, and the protection provided by the real estate and other underlying collateral. Interest reserves provide an effective means for addressing the
cash flow characteristics of construction loans. In response to the downturn in the housing market and potential impact upon construction lending, the
Company discourages the creation or continued use of interest reserves.
Interest reserves are advanced provided the related construction loan is performing as expected. Loans with interest reserves may be extended, renewed or
restructured only when the related loan continues to perform as expected and meets the prudent underwriting standards identified above. Such renewals,
extension or restructuring are not permitted in order to keep the related loan current.
In monitoring the performance and credit quality of a construction loan, the Company assesses the adequacy of any remaining interest reserve, and whether
the use of an interest reserve remains appropriate in the presence of emerging weakness and associated risks in the construction loan.
The ongoing accrual and recognition of uncollected interest as income continues only when facts and circumstances continue to reasonably support the
contractual payment of principal or interest. Loans are typically designated as non-accrual when the collection
36
of the contractual principal or interest is unlikely and has remained unpaid for ninety days or more. For such loans, the accrual of interest and its
capitalization into the loan balance will be discontinued.
The Company had $554 million and $374 million of loans with remaining interest reserves of $27.7 million and $17.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively. During 2022 and 2021, the Company extended, renewed or restructured 5 loans and 3 loans, respectively, with interest reserves. Such
loans had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $16.2 million and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of
December 31, 2022, the Company had no construction loans with interest reserves that are currently non-performing or which are potential problem loans.
The Company has also been very active in generating commercial SBA loans, and other commercial loans, with a portion of those loans sold to investors.
The Company has not originated any type of subprime mortgages, either for the loan portfolio or for sale to investors. In addition, the Company has not
purchased debt securities collateralized with subprime mortgages. The Company does not actively purchase loans from other financial institutions, and
substantially all of the Company’s loans receivable are with customers in the Company’s geographic market areas.
As enticement to financial institutions to administer the program, the SBA reimburses PPP lenders for processing a PPP loan via loan fees. The fee
structure changed as the PPP developed with the following reflecting the fee structure for each program:
New program commencing on January 11, 2021 for new borrowers (round two):
• 50% with maximum of $2,500 for loans up to $50,000.
• 5% for loans of more than $50,000 and less than $350,000.
• 3% for loans of more than $350,000 and less than $2 million.
• 1% for loans of $2 million up to a maximum loan of $10 million.
New program commencing on January 11, 2021 for existing borrowers (round two):
• 50% with maximum of $2,500 for loans up to $50,000.
• 5% for loans of more than $50,000 and less than $350,000.
• 3% for loans of $350,000 up to a maximum loan of $2 million.
Each of the Bank divisions monitor conditions, including supply and demand factors, in the real estate markets served so they can react quickly to changing
market conditions to mitigate potential losses from specific credit exposures within the loan portfolio. Evidence of the following real estate market
conditions and trends is obtained from lending personnel and third party sources:
37
• demographic indicators, including employment and population trends;
• foreclosures, vacancy, construction and absorption rates;
• property sales prices, rental rates, and lease terms;
• current tax assessments;
• economic indicators, including trends within the lending areas; and
• valuation trends, including discount and capitalization rates.
Third party information sources include federal, state, and local governments and agencies thereof, private sector economic data vendors, real estate
brokers, licensed agents, sales, rental and foreclosure data tracking services.
The time between ordering an appraisal or evaluation and receipt from third party vendors is typically two to six weeks for residential property depending
on geographic market and four to six weeks for non-residential property. For real estate properties that are of highly specialized or limited use, significantly
complex or large, additional time beyond the typical times may be required for new appraisals or evaluations (new or updated).
As part of the Company’s credit administration and portfolio monitoring practices, the Company’s regular internal and external credit examinations review
a significant number of individual loan files. Appraisals and evaluations (new or updated) are reviewed to determine whether the timeliness, methods,
assumptions, and findings are reasonable and in compliance with the Company’s loan policy and credit administration practices. Such reviews include the
adequacy of the steps taken by the Company to ensure that the individuals who perform appraisals and evaluations (new or updated) are appropriately
qualified and are not subject to conflicts of interest. If there are any deficiencies noted in the reviews, they are reported to Bank management and prompt
corrective action is taken.

Amounts represent estimated interest income that would have been recognized on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis as of the end of each period had such loans
performed pursuant to contractual terms.
Non-performing assets of $32.7 million at December 31, 2022 decreased $34.9 million, or 52 percent, over prior year end. Non-performing assets as a
percentage of subsidiary assets at December 31, 2022 was 0.12 percent compared to 0.26 percent in the prior year end.
Most of the Company’s non-performing assets are secured by real estate, and based on the most current information available to management, including
updated appraisals or evaluations (new or updated), the Company believes the value of the underlying real estate collateral is adequate to minimize
significant charge-offs or losses to the Company. Through pro-active credit administration,
38
the Company works closely with its borrowers to seek favorable resolution to the extent possible, thereby attempting to minimize net charge-offs or losses
to the Company. With very limited exceptions, the Company does not disburse additional funds on non-performing loans. Instead, the Company proceeds
to collection and foreclosure actions in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to loss on such loans.
For additional information on accounting policies relating to non-performing assets, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Restructured Loans
A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial
difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Each restructured debt is separately negotiated with the borrower and
includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower’s prospective ability to service their obligations as modified. The Company discourages the use of
the multiple loan strategy when restructuring loans regardless of whether or not the loans are designated as TDRs. The Company had TDR loans of $37.6
million and $37.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The ACL as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31 2022 was 1.20 percent which was a 9 basis points decrease from the prior year end.
The Company’s ACL of $182 million is considered by management to be adequate to absorb the estimated credit losses from any segment of its loan
portfolio based upon managements’ best estimate of current expected credit losses within the existing portfolio of loans. Should any of the factors
considered by management in making this estimate change, the Company’s estimate of current expected credit losses could also change, which could affect
the level of future provision of credit losses related to loans. For the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company believes the ACL is
commensurate with the risk in the Company’s loan portfolio and is directionally consistent with the change in the quality of the Company’s loan portfolio.
During 2022, provision for credit losses exceeded the charge-offs, net of recoveries, by $9.6 million. During the same period in 2021, the charge-offs, net
of recoveries, exceeded provision for credit losses by $14.1 million.
At the end of each quarter, the Company analyzes its loan portfolio and maintains an ACL at a level that is appropriate and determined in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Determining the adequacy of the ACL involves a high degree of
judgment and is inevitably imprecise as the risk of loss is difficult to quantify. The ACL methodology is designed to reasonably estimate the probable credit
losses within the Company’s loan portfolio. Accordingly, the ACL is maintained within a range of estimated losses. The determination of the ACL on
loans, including credit loss expense and net charge-offs, is a critical accounting estimate that involves management’s judgments about the loan portfolio
that impact credit losses, including the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio, economic forecasts nationally and in the local markets in which the
Company operates, trends and changes in collateral values, delinquencies, non-performing assets, net charge-offs, credit-related policies and personnel, and
other environmental factors.
In determining the allowance, the loan portfolio is separated into pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics which are the Company’s loan
segments. The Company then derives estimated loss assumptions from its model by loan segment which is further segregated by the credit quality
indicators. The loss assumptions are then applied to each segment of loan to estimate the ACL on the pooled loans. For any loans that do not share similar
risk characteristics, the estimated credit losses are determined on an individual loan basis and such loans primarily consist of non-accrual loans. An
estimated credit loss is recorded on individually reviewed loans when the fair value of a collateral-dependent loan or the present value of the loan’s
expected future cash flows (discounted at the loans original effective interest rate) is less than the amortized cost of the loan.
40
The Company provides commercial banking services to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses, community organizations and public entities from
221 locations, including 187 branches, across Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada. The states in which the
Company operates have diverse economies and markets that are tied to commodities (crops, livestock, minerals, oil and natural gas), tourism, real estate
and land development and an assortment of industries, both manufacturing and service-related. Thus, the changes in the global, national, and local
economies are not uniform across the Company’s geographic locations. The geographic dispersion of these market areas helps to mitigate the risk of credit
loss. The Company’s model of seventeen bank divisions with separate management teams is also a significant benefit in mitigating and managing the
Company’s credit risk. This model provides substantial local oversight to the lending and credit management function and requires multiple reviews of
larger loans before credit is extended.
The primary responsibility for credit risk assessment and identification of problem loans rests with the loan officer of the account. This continuous process
of identifying non-performing loans is necessary to support management’s evaluation of the ACL adequacy. An independent loan review function verifying
credit risk ratings evaluates the loan officer and management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio credit quality. The ACL evaluation is well documented and
approved by the Company’s Board. In addition, the policy and procedures for determining the balance of the ACL are reviewed annually by the Company’s
Board, the internal audit department, independent credit reviewers and state and federal bank regulatory agencies.
Although the Company continues to actively monitor economic trends and regulatory developments, no assurance can be given that the Company will not,
in any particular period, sustain losses that are significant relative to the ACL amount, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio applying
management’s judgment about then current factors will not require significant changes in the ACL. Under such circumstances, additional credit loss
expense could result.
For additional information regarding the ACL, its relation to credit loss expense and risk related to asset quality, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Loans by Regulatory Classification
Supplemental information regarding identification of the Company’s loan portfolio and credit quality based on regulatory classification is provided in the
following tables. The regulatory classification of loans is based primarily on the type of collateral for the loans. There may be differences when compared
to loan tables and loan amounts appearing elsewhere which reflect the Company’s internal loan segments which are based on the purpose of the loan.

Sources of Funds
The Company’s deposits have traditionally been the principal source of funds for use in lending and other business purposes. The Company also obtains
funds from repayment of loans and debt securities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”), wholesale deposits, advances
from FHLB and other borrowings. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while interest bearing deposit inflows and outflows are
significantly influenced by general interest rate levels and market conditions. Borrowings and advances may be used on a short-term basis to compensate
for reductions in normal sources of funds such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels. Borrowings also may be used on a long-term basis to support
expanded activities, match maturities of longer-term assets or manage interest rate risk.
Deposits
The Company has several deposit programs designed to attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by providing a wide
selection of accounts and rates. These programs include non-interest bearing deposit accounts and interest bearing deposit accounts such as NOW, DDA,
savings, money market deposits, fixed rate certificates of deposit with maturities ranging from three months to five years, negotiated-rate jumbo
certificates, and individual retirement accounts. These deposits are obtained primarily from individual and business residents in the Bank’s geographic
market areas. Wholesale deposits are obtained through various programs and include brokered deposits classified as NOW, DDA, money market deposits
and certificate accounts. The Company’s deposits are summarized below:

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings
The Company borrows money through repurchase agreements. This process involves the selling of one or more of the securities in the Company’s
investment portfolio and simultaneously entering into an agreement to repurchase the same securities at an agreed upon later date, typically overnight. A
rate of interest is paid for the agreed period of time. The Bank enters into repurchase agreements with local municipalities, and certain customers, and has
adopted procedures designed to ensure proper transfer of title and safekeeping of the underlying securities. In addition to retail repurchase agreements, the
Company periodically enters into wholesale repurchase agreements as additional funding sources. The Company has not entered into reverse repurchase
agreements.
The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which is one of eleven banks that comprise the FHLB system. The Bank is required to maintain a
certain level of activity-based stock in order to borrow or to engage in other transactions with the FHLB of Des Moines. Additionally, the Bank is subject to
a membership capital stock requirement that is based upon an annual calibration tied to the total assets of the Bank. The borrowings are collateralized by
eligible categories of loans and debt securities (principally, securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government and its agencies),
provided certain standards related to credit-worthiness have been met. Advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has
its own interest rates and range of maturities. The Bank’s maximum amount of FHLB advances is limited to the lesser of a fixed percentage of the Bank’s
total assets or the discounted value of eligible collateral. FHLB advances fluctuate to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposits and to expand
lending or investment opportunities of the Company.
Additionally, the Company has other sources of secured and unsecured borrowing lines from various sources that may be used from time to time.
For additional information concerning the Company’s borrowings, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data.”
Short-term borrowings
A critical component of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources is access to short-term borrowings to fund its operations. Short-term borrowings are
accompanied by increased risks managed by the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) such as rate increases or unfavorable change in terms which
would make it more costly to obtain future short-term borrowings. The Company’s short-term borrowing sources include FHLB advances, federal funds
purchased and retail and wholesale repurchase agreements. The Company also has access to the short-term discount window borrowing programs (i.e.,
primary credit) of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) as well as a line of credit with a large national banking institution. FHLB advances and certain other
short-term borrowings may be renewed as long-term borrowings to decrease certain risks such as liquidity or interest rate risk; however, the reduction in
risks are weighed against the increased cost of funds and other risks.
The following table provides information relating to significant short-term borrowings, which consists of borrowings that mature within one year of period

Subordinated Debentures
In addition to funds obtained in the ordinary course of business, the Company formed or acquired financing subsidiaries for the purpose of issuing or
holding trust preferred securities that entitle the investor to receive cumulative cash distributions thereon. Subordinated debentures were issued in
conjunction with the trust preferred securities and the terms of the subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities are the same. For regulatory
capital purposes, the trust preferred securities are included in Tier 2 capital at December 31, 2022. The subordinated debentures outstanding as of
December 31, 2022 were $133 million, including fair value adjustments from acquisitions. For additional information regarding the subordinated
debentures, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Liquidity Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company has commitments that require material cash requirements for customer deposits outflows, repurchase
agreements, borrowed funds, lease obligations, off-balance sheet obligations, operating expenses and other contractual obligations. The source of funding
for such requirements includes loan repayments, customer deposit inflows, borrowings and capital resources. Liquidity risk is the possibility that the
Company will not be able to fund present and future obligations as they come due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding at a
reasonable cost.
The objective of liquidity management is to maintain cash flows adequate to meet current and future needs for credit demand, deposit withdrawals,
maturing liabilities and corporate operating expenses. Effective liquidity management entails three elements:
1. assessing on an ongoing basis, the current and expected future needs for funds, and ensuring that sufficient funds or access to funds exist to meet
those needs at the appropriate time;
2. providing for an adequate cushion of liquidity to meet unanticipated cash flow needs that may arise from potential adverse circumstances ranging
from high probability/low severity events to low probability/high severity; and
3. balancing the benefits between providing for adequate liquidity to mitigate potential adverse events and the cost of that liquidity.
The Company has a wide range of versatility in managing the liquidity and asset/liability mix. The Bank’s ALCO meets regularly to assess liquidity risk,
among other matters. The Company monitors liquidity and contingency funding alternatives through management reports of liquid assets (e.g., debt
securities), both unencumbered and pledged, as well as borrowing capacity, both secured and unsecured, including off-balance sheet funding sources. The
Company evaluates its potential funding needs across alternative scenarios and maintains contingency funding plans consistent with the Company’s access
to diversified sources of contingent funding.

Capital Resources
Maintaining capital strength continues to be a long-term objective of the Company. Abundant capital is necessary to sustain growth, provide protection
against unanticipated declines in asset values, and to safeguard the funds of depositors. Capital is also a source of funds for loan demand and enables the
Company to effectively manage its assets and liabilities. The Company has the capacity to issue 234,000,000 shares of common stock of which
110,777,780 have been issued as of December 31, 2022. The Company also has the capacity to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of which none
have been issued as of December 31, 2022. Conversely, the Company may decide to utilize a portion of its strong capital position, as it has done in the past,
to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock, depending on market price and other relevant considerations.
The Federal Reserve has adopted capital adequacy guidelines that are used to assess the adequacy of capital in supervising a bank holding company. The
federal banking agencies issued final rules (“Final Rules”) that established a comprehensive regulatory capital framework based on the recommendation of
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Final
Rules require the Company to hold a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. As of
December 31, 2022, management believes the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and there are no
conditions or events subsequent to this date that management believes have changed the Company’s or Bank’s risk-based capital category.
The following table illustrates the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and the Federal Reserve’s capital adequacy guidelines as of December 31, 2022:
Total Capital (To Tier 1 Capital (To Common Equity Leverage Ratio/
Risk-Weighted Risk-Weighted Tier 1 (To Risk- Tier 1 Capital (To
Assets) Assets) Weighted Assets) Average Assets)
Glacier Bank actual regulatory ratios 13.58 % 12.60 % 12.60 % 8.97 %
Minimum capital requirements 8.00 % 6.00 % 4.50 % 4.00 %
Minimum capital requirements plus capital

Well capitalized requirements 10.00 % 8.00 % 6.50 % 5.00 %
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) accounting standard that requires management’s estimate of credit
losses over the expected contractual lives of the Company's relevant financial assets. On March 27, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interim final
rule to delay for two years the initial adoption impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate
amount of the capital benefit provided during 2020 and 2021 (i.e., a five-year transition period). The Company has elected to utilize the five-year transition
period. During the two-year delay, the Company added back to Common Tier 1 capital 100 percent of the initial adoption impact of CECL plus 25 percent
of the cumulative quarterly changes in ACL (i.e., quarterly transitional amounts). Starting on January 1, 2022, the quarterly transitional amounts along with
the initial adoption impact of CECL will be phased out of Common Tier 1 capital evenly over the three-year period.

Federal and State Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return using the accrual method of accounting. All required tax returns have been timely filed.
Financial institutions are subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in the same general manner as other corporations.
The federal statutory corporate income tax rate is 21 percent.
Within the Company’s geographic footprint under Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Arizona law, financial institutions are subject to a corporation
income tax, which incorporates or is substantially similar to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The corporation income tax is imposed on
federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments. State taxes are incurred at the rate of 6.75 percent in Montana, 6.00 percent in Idaho, 4.85 percent in
Utah, 4.55 percent in Colorado and 4.90 percent in Arizona. Washington, Wyoming and Nevada do not impose a corporate income tax. The Company is
also required to file in states other than the eight states in which it has properties.
Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $67.1 million and $64.7 million, respectively. The Company’s effective income
tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was 18.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively. The current and prior year’s low effective
income tax rates were due to income from tax-exempt debt securities, municipal loans and leases and benefits from federal income tax credits. Income from
tax-exempt debt securities, loans and leases was $80.1 million and $69.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Benefits
from federal income tax credits were $15.4 million and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company has equity investments in Certified Development Entities (“CDE”) which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”).
Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI Fund”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the NMTC program is
aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are
claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period. The Company also has equity investments in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) which are
indirect federal subsidies used to finance the development of affordable rental housing for low-income households. The federal income tax credits are
claimed over a ten-year credit allowance period. The Company has investments of $15.3 million in Qualified School Construction bonds whereby the
Company receives quarterly federal income tax credits in lieu of taxable interest income. The federal income tax credits on these debt securities are subject
to federal and state income tax.
Following is a list of expected federal income tax credits to be received in the years indicated.

Rate/Volume Analysis
Net interest income can be evaluated from the perspective of relative dollars of change in each period. Interest income and interest expense, which are the
components of net interest income, are shown in the following table on the basis of the amount of any increases (or decreases) attributable to changes in the
dollar levels of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities (“volume”) and the yields earned and paid on such assets and liabilities
(“rate”). The change in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in both volume and rates has been allocated proportionately to the
change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) increased $128.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The interest
income for 2022 increased over the same period last year primarily from the acquisition of Alta, increased volume in commercial loans and investment
securities.
Net interest income (tax-equivalent) increased $64.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The interest
income for 2021 increased over the same period last year primarily from the acquisition of Alta, increased volume
in commercial loans and investment securities. The growth in the investment securities was the result of security purchases utilizing
the $1.623 billion of cash received from the Alta acquisition, excess liquidity from the increase in core deposits, and SBA forgiveness
of PPP loans. Total interest expense decreased from the prior year primarily from the decreased rates on deposits.
Cyber Risk
A failure in or breach of the Company’s operational or security systems, or those of the Company’s third party service providers, including as a result of
cyber-attacks, could disrupt business, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase costs and
cause losses. The Company employs detection and response mechanisms designed to contain and mitigate these risks. The Company maintains a robust
information security program that is regularly reviewed, tested, and updated. This includes vulnerability and patch management programs, incident
response planning, security monitoring, employee training, and security awareness testing. The Board's Risk Oversight Committee is responsible for
monitoring the Company’s cyber risk management profile and related programs. The Board is responsible for approval of related policies.
53
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP often requires management to use significant judgments as well as
subjective and/or complex measurements in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The Company considers its accounting policies for the ACL, goodwill and fair value measurements to be critical accounting policies. The application of
these policies has a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and financial results could differ significantly if different
judgments or estimates were applied. The following describes why the estimates are subject to uncertainty, the estimated change in the reported periods,
and the sensitivity of the reported amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying the calculation.
Goodwill
The Company is required to assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if determined necessary. Goodwill of a reporting unit is
tested for impairment if an event is more-likely-than-not to reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Changes in the economic
environment, operations of the aggregated reporting units, or other factors could result in the decline in the fair value of the aggregated reporting units
which could result in a goodwill impairment in the future. The estimate is considered to have a low amount of uncertainty unless there is an event that
significantly lowers the goodwill fair value estimate. Examples of events and circumstances include: significant change in legal factors or in the business
climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, a more likely-than-not expectation that a
reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of, and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group
within a reporting unit. There were no changes to the Company’s assessment or reported amounts during 2022. For information on goodwill, see Notes 1
and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
• FASB ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
• FASB ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform
For additional information on the topics and the impact on the Company see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data.”
54
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of future earnings resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Interest rate risk results from many
factors and could have a significant impact on the Company’s net interest income, which is the Company’s primary source of net income. Net interest
income is affected by a myriad of variables, including changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest bearing assets and liabilities, the
impact of the interest fluctuations on asset prepayments and the mix of interest bearing assets and liabilities.
Although interest rate risk is inherent in the banking industry, banks are expected to have sound risk management practices in place to measure, monitor
and control interest rate exposures. The objective of interest rate risk management is to appropriately manage the risks associated with interest rate
fluctuations. The process includes identification and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates.
The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process which is governed
by policies established by the Company’s Board. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to ALCO. In
this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management-related activities which are focused on
managing earnings, particularly net interest income, relative to acceptable levels of interest rate, liquidity and credit/capital risks. Accordingly, an important
goal of the Company’s asset and liability management practices is to manage its existing and prospective levels of net interest income within an acceptable
degree of interest rate risk based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.
The following is indicative of the Company’s overall NII sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s NII sensitivity remained within
policy limits at December 31, 2022.
Estimated Sensitivity
Rate Scenarios One Year Two Years
-100 bps Rate shock (0.31 %) (2.07 %)
+100 bps Rate shock 0.08 % 1.65 %
+200 bps Rate shock (2.00 %) 1.31 %
+200 bps Rate ramp (1.02 %) 0.79 %
+300 bps Rate shock (7.19 %) (2.09 %)
+400 bps Rate shock (12.39 %) (5.54 %)
+400 bps Rate ramp (1.06 %) (0.61 %)
The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. Growth in
the Company’s core deposit franchise, updated deposit pricing assumptions, and other balance sheet changes including the acquisition of Alta over the past
year have increased the degree of measured asset sensitivity and thus well positioned the Company for a higher interest rate environment. It is important to
note that these hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions that are specific to our Company and thus may not be directly comparable to
other institutions. These assumptions include: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including, but not limited to, yield curve shape, prepayments on
loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While
assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature
of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might
55
change. Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to prepayment/refinancing levels
likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service
levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables.
Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) as of December
31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated
February 24, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that is
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the
financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit
matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical
audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $15.25 billion as of December 31, 2022, and the allowance for credit losses on loans was $182.3
million. The Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $4.4 billion, with an allowance for credit losses of $25.2 million. Together these
amounts represent the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). As more fully described in Notes 1 and 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements:
• For loans receivable, the ACL is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with Topic 326 that is deducted from the
amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected
• For unfunded loan commitments, the ACL is a liability account calculated in accordance with Topic 326, reported as a component of
other liabilities
The determination of the ACL includes a quantitative portion that calculates historical average loss rates and uses forecast assumptions and
other inputs to project credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio. Additionally, the ACL requires management to exercise significant
judgment and consider numerous subjective factors, including determining qualitative factors utilized to adjust the ACL for projected credit
losses that the quantitative allocations portion does not factor into its consideration. As disclosed by management, different assumptions and
conditions could result in a materially different amount for the ACL.
Auditing the allowance for credit loss involved a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management’s estimates, such as evaluating
management’s identification of credit quality indicators, assessment of economic conditions and other environmental factors, evaluating the
adequacy of specific allowances associated with individually evaluated loans and assessing the appropriateness of loan grades and non-
accrual, collateral dependent, and individually evaluated designations.
The primary procedures we performed as of December 31, 2022 to address this critical audit matter included:
• Testing the effectiveness of controls, including those related to technology over the ACL including data completeness and accuracy,
classifications of loan segments, historical data, the calculation of baseline loss rates, the establishment of qualitative adjustments,
identification of individually evaluated loans and risk classification of individual loans and/or loan relationships, establishment of
specific reserves on individually evaluated loans and management’s review controls over the ACL balance as a whole
• Testing of completeness and accuracy of the information utilized in the ACL through testing of year-end loan balances, non-accrual
and individually evaluated loan designations, gross charge-offs, and recoveries
• Testing of the Company’s ACL narrative supporting the overall ACL process in place and adjusted loss factors applied to various
loan segments
• Testing of the economic inputs utilized to generate the economic forecast multipliers utilized within the quantitative portion of the
ACL
• Testing the Company’s ACL model for computational accuracy

• Evaluating the qualitative adjustments to the loan segments, including assessing the basis for the adjustments and the reasonableness
of the significant assumptions
• Testing the loan review functions and evaluating the accuracy of loan grades, specific reserve calculations, and non-accrual and
collateral-dependent identifications
• Utilizing internal subject matter experts in the area of loan review to assist us in evaluating the appropriateness of loan grades, non-
accrual, and collateral dependent loan identifications and to assess the reasonableness of specific impairments allocated to impaired
loans
• Testing estimated utilization rates of unfunded loan commitments
• Evaluating the overall reasonableness of assumptions used by considering the past performance of the Company and evaluating to
trends identified within the banking industry, including, but not limited to, the following:
◦ Timing and frequency of improvements noted in key lending ratios that are indicative of potential credit risk in the overall
loan portfolio and banking industry
◦ Observation of trends in the Company’s overall qualitative factors to ensure directional consistency, the overall economic
climate and risk trends identified in the loan portfolio
◦ Evaluating the relevance and reliability of the data and data sources

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General
Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) is a Montana corporation headquartered in Kalispell, Montana. The Company provides a full range of banking services
to individuals and businesses in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada through its wholly-owned bank subsidiary,
Glacier Bank (“Bank”). The Company offers a wide range of banking products and services, including: 1) retail banking; 2) business banking; 3) real
estate, commercial, agriculture and consumer loans; and 4) mortgage origination and loan servicing. The Company serves individuals, small to medium-
sized businesses, community organizations and public entities.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include: 1) the determination of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL” or
“allowance”) on loans; 2) the valuation of debt securities; 3) the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans;
and 4) the evaluation of goodwill impairment. For the determination of the ACL on loans and real estate valuation estimates, management obtains
independent appraisals (new or updated) for significant items. Estimates relating to the investment valuations are obtained from independent third parties.
Estimates relating to the evaluation of goodwill for impairment are determined based on internal calculations using independent party inputs.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the parent holding company and the Bank, which consists of seventeen bank divisions and a
corporate division. The corporate division includes the Bank’s investment portfolio, wholesale borrowings and other centralized functions. The Bank
divisions operate under separate names, management teams and advisory directors. The Company considers the Bank to be its sole operating segment as
the Bank 1) engages in similar bank business activity from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses; 2) the operating results of the Bank are regularly
reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (i.e., the chief operating decision maker) who makes decisions about resources to be allocated to the
Bank; and 3) financial information is available for the Bank. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Bank has subsidiary interests in variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which the Bank has both the power to direct the VIE’s significant activities and
the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These subsidiary interests are included
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Bank also has subsidiary interests in VIEs for which the Bank does not have a controlling
financial interest and is not the primary beneficiary. These subsidiary interests are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For
additional information on the Bank’s interest in VIEs, see note 7.
The parent holding company owns non-bank subsidiaries that have issued trust preferred securities. The trust subsidiaries are not included in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company's investments in the trust subsidiaries are included in other assets on the Company's statements
of financial condition.
On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Altabancorp, the bank holding company for Altabank, a community bank based in
American Fork, Utah (collectively, “Alta”). In February 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of State Bank Corp., the bank holding company for
State Bank of Arizona, a community bank based in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (collectively, “SBAZ”). In July 2019, the Company completed the
acquisition of Heritage Bancorp, the bank holding company for Heritage Bank of Nevada, a community bank based in Reno, Nevada (collectively,
“Heritage”). The business combinations were accounted for using the acquisition method, with the results of operations included in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition dates. For additional information relating to recent mergers and acquisitions, see Note 23.

Debt Securities
Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized
cost. Debt securities held primarily for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in income. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, as a separate component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Premiums
and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted into income using a method that approximates the interest method. The objective of the interest
method is to calculate periodic interest income at a constant effective yield. The Company does not have any debt securities classified as trading securities.
When the Company acquires another entity, it records the debt securities at fair value.
The Company reviews and analyzes the various risks that may be present within the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis, including market risk, credit
risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk to an entity’s financial condition resulting from adverse changes in the value of its holdings arising from
movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or commodity prices. The Company assesses the market risk of individual debt securities
as well as the investment portfolio as a whole. Credit risk, broadly defined, is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will fail to perform on an obligation.
The credit rating of a security is considered the primary credit quality indicator for debt securities. Liquidity risk refers to the risk that a security will not
have an active and efficient market in which the security can be sold.
A debt security is investment grade if the issuer has adequate capacity to meet its commitment over the expected life of the investment, i.e., the risk of
default is low and full and timely repayment of interest and principal is expected. To determine investment grade status for debt securities, the Company
conducts due diligence of the creditworthiness of the issuer or counterparty prior to acquisition and ongoing thereafter consistent with the risk
characteristics of the security and the overall risk of the investment portfolio. Credit quality due diligence takes into account the extent to which a security
is guaranteed by the U.S. government and other agencies of the U.S. government. The depth of the due diligence is based on the complexity of the
structure, the size of the security, and takes into account material positions and specific groups of securities or stratifications for analysis and review of
similar risk positions. The due diligence includes consideration of payment performance, collateral adequacy, internal analyses, third party research and
analytics, external credit ratings and default statistics.
The Company has acquired debt securities through acquisitions and if the securities have more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, they
are designated as purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) securities. An ACL is determined using the same methodology as with other debt securities. The
sum of a PCD security’s fair value and associated ACL becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and
the par value of the debt security is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the security. Subsequent
changes to the ACL are recorded through provision for credit losses.
The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities. As part of its non-accrual
policy, the Company charges-off uncollectable interest at the time it is determined to be uncollectable.
69
of debt securities are individually measured based on net realizable value, or the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows,
based on the original effective interest rate, and the recorded amortized cost basis of the securities.
The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities. As part of its non-accrual
policy, the Company charges off uncollectable interest at the time it is determined to be uncollectable.
Loans Receivable
The Company’s loan segments or classes are based on the purpose of the loan and consist of residential real estate, commercial real estate, other
commercial, home equity, and other consumer loans. Loans that are intended at origination to be held-to-maturity, are reported at the unpaid principal
balance less net charge-offs and adjusted for deferred fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on acquired loans. Interest
income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Fees and costs on originated loans and premiums or discounts on acquired loans are deferred and
subsequently amortized or accreted as a yield adjustment over the expected life of the loan utilizing the interest or straight-line methods. The interest
method is utilized for loans with scheduled payment terms and the objective is to calculate periodic interest income at a constant effective yield. The
straight-line method is utilized for revolving lines of credit or loans with no scheduled payment terms. When a loan is paid off prior to maturity, the
remaining unamortized fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on acquired loans are immediately recognized as interest
income.
Loans that are thirty days or more past due based on payments received and applied to the loan are considered delinquent. Loans are designated non-accrual
and the accrual of interest is discontinued when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is unlikely. A loan is typically placed on non-accrual
when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for ninety days or more. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously accrued
but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Subsequent payments on non-accrual loans are applied to the outstanding principal
balance if doubt remains as to the ultimate collectability of the loan. Interest accruals are not resumed on partially charged-off impaired loans. For other
loans on non-accrual, interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when,
in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.
The Company has acquired loans through acquisitions, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. The
Company considers all acquired non-accrual loans to be PCD loans. In addition, the Company considers loans accruing ninety days or more past due or
substandard loans to be PCD loans. An ACL is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The ACL determined on a
collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of a loan’s fair value and ACL becomes the initial amortized cost basis. The difference between
the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the
loan. Subsequent changes to the ACL are recorded through provision for credit losses.
The allowance is increased for estimated credit losses which are recorded as expense. The portion of loans and overdraft balances determined by
management to be uncollectable are charged-off as a reduction to the allowance and recoveries of amounts previously charged-off increase the allowance.
The Company’s charge-off policy is consistent with bank regulatory standards. Consumer loans generally are charged-off when the loan becomes over 120
days delinquent. Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) until such
time as it is sold.
The expected credit loss estimate process involves procedures to consider the unique characteristics of each of the Company’s loan portfolio segments,
which consist of residential real estate, commercial real estate, other commercial, home equity, and other
70
consumer loans. When computing the allowance levels, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss
history, credit and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. The Company has determined
a four consecutive quarter forecasting period is a reasonable and supportable period. Expected credit loss for periods beyond reasonable and supportable
forecast periods are determined based on a reversion method which reverts back to historical loss estimates over a four consecutive quarter period on a
straight-line basis.
Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and the
process for estimating the expected credit losses. The following paragraphs describe the risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment.
Residential Real Estate. Residential real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily
dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans is impacted by economic conditions within the Company’s
market areas that affect the value of the residential property securing the loans and affect the borrowers' personal incomes. Mitigating risk factors for this
loan segment include a large number of borrowers, geographic dispersion of market areas and the loans are originated for relatively smaller amounts.
Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on
the successful operation of the property securing the loan and/or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Credit risk in these loans is
impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, valuation of the property securing the loan and conditions within the local economies in the Company’s
diverse, geographic market areas.
Commercial. Commercial loans consist of loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and business
expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is
driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations across the Company’s
diverse, geographic market areas.
Home Equity. Home equity loans consist of junior lien mortgages and first and junior lien lines of credit (revolving open-end and amortizing closed-end)
secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the
borrowers. Credit risk in these loans is impacted by economic conditions within the Company’s market areas that affect the value of the residential
property securing the loans and affect the borrowers' personal incomes. Mitigating risk factors for this loan segment are a large number of borrowers,
geographic dispersion of market areas and the loans are originated for terms that range from 10 to 15 years.
Other Consumer. The other consumer loan portfolio consists of various short-term loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes.
Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as
unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company’s diverse, geographic market areas) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.
The allowance is impacted by loan volumes, delinquency status, credit ratings, historical loss experiences, estimated prepayment speeds, weighted average
lives and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for
estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance has two basic components: 1) individual loans that do not share similar risk
characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and 2) the expected credit losses for pools of loans
that share similar risk characteristics.
Loans that do not Share Similar Risk Characteristics with Other Loans. For a loan that does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, expected
credit loss is measured based on the net realizable value, that is, the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the
original effective interest rate, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For these loans, the expected credit loss is equal to the amount by which the net
realizable value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan (which is net of previous charge-offs and deferred loan fees and costs), except
when the loan is collateral-dependent, that is, when foreclosure is probable or the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to
be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the
amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or
satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral. The Company has determined that non-accrual loans do
not share similar risk characteristics with other loans and these loans are individually evaluated for estimated allowance for credit losses. The Company,
through its credit monitoring process, may also identify other loans that do not share similar risk characteristics and individually evaluate such loans. The
starting point for determining the fair value of collateral is to obtain external appraisals or evaluations (new or updated). The valuation techniques used in
preparing appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) include the cost approach, income approach, sales comparison approach, or a combination of the
preceding valuation techniques. The Company’s credit department reviews appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the collateral. The
appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) are reviewed at least quarterly and more frequently based on current
71
market conditions, including deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and when property values may be subject to significant volatility.
Adjustments may be made to the fair value of the collateral after review and acceptance of the collateral appraisal or evaluation (new or updated).
Loans that Share Similar Risk Characteristics with other Loans. For estimating the allowance for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other
loans, such loans are segregated into loan segments. Loans are designated into loan segments based on loans pooled by product types and similar risk
characteristics or areas of risk concentration. In determining the ACL, the Company derives an estimated credit loss assumption from a model that
categorizes loan pools based on loan type which is further segregated by the credit quality indicators. This model calculates an expected loss percentage for
each loan segment by considering the non-discounted simple annual average historical loss rate of each loan segment (calculated through an “open pool”
method), multiplying the loss rate by the amortized loan balance and incorporating that segment’s internally generated prepayment speed assumption and
contractually scheduled remaining principal pay downs on a loan level basis. The annual historical loss rates are adjusted over a reasonable economic
forecast period by a multiplier that is calculated based upon current national economic forecasts as a proportion of each segment’s historical average loss
levels. The Company will then revert from the economic forecast period back to the historical average loss rate in a straight-line basis. After the reversion
period, the loans will be assumed to experience their historical loss rate for the remainder of their contractual lives. The model applies the expected loss
rate over the projected cash flows at the individual loan level and then aggregates the losses by loan segment in determining their quantitative allowance.
The Company will also include qualitative adjustments to adjust the ACL on loan segments to the extent the current or future market conditions are
believed to vary substantially from historical conditions in regards to:
• lending policies and procedures;
• international, national, regional and local economic business conditions, developments, or environmental conditions that affect the collectability of
the portfolio, including the condition of various markets;
• the nature and volume of the loan portfolio including the terms of the loans;
• the experience, ability, and depth of the lending management and other relevant staff;
• the volume and severity of past due and adversely classified or graded loans and the volume of non-accrual loans;
• the quality of our loan review system;
• the value of underlying collateral for collateralized loans;
• the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of concentrations; and
• the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing
portfolio.
The Company regularly reviews loans in the portfolio to assess credit quality indicators and to determine the appropriate loan classification and grading in
accordance with applicable bank regulations. The primary credit quality indicator for residential, home equity and other consumer loans is the days past due
status, which consists of the following categories: 1) performing loans; 2) 30 to 89 days past due loans; and 3) non-accrual and ninety days or more past
due loans. The primary credit quality indicator for commercial real estate and commercial loans is the Company’s internal risk rating system, which
includes the following categories: 1) pass loans; 2) special mention loans; 3) substandard loans; and 4) doubtful or loss loans. Such credit quality indicators
are regularly monitored and incorporated into the Company’s allowance estimate. The following paragraphs further define the internal risk ratings for
commercial real estate and commercial loans.
Pass Loans. These ratings represent loans that are of acceptable, good or excellent quality with very limited to no risk. Loans that do not have one of the
following ratings are considered pass loans.
Special Mention Loans. These ratings represent loans that are designated as special mention per the regulatory definition. Special mention loans are
currently protected but are potentially weak. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an undue and unwarranted risk in light of the
circumstances surrounding a specific loan. The rating may be used to identify credit with potential weaknesses that if not corrected may weaken the loan to
the point of inadequately protecting the Bank’s credit position. Examples include a lack of supervision, inadequate loan agreement, condition, or control of
collateral, incomplete, or improper documentation, deviations from lending policy, and adverse trends in operations or economic conditions.
Substandard Loans. This rating represents loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the
collateral pledged. A loan so classified must have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the
distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregated amount of
substandard loans, does not have to exist in an individual loan classified substandard.
Doubtful/Loss Loans. A loan classified as doubtful has the characteristics that make collection in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions,
and values, highly improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of pending factors, which may work to the advantage and
strengthening of the loan, its classification as loss is deferred until its more exact status may be
72
determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and
refinancing plans. Loans are classified as loss when they are deemed to be not collectible and of such little value that continuance as an active asset of the
Bank is not warranted. Loans classified as loss must be charged-off. Assignment of this classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no
recovery or salvage value, but that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be
attained in the future.
Restructured Loans
A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial
difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The Company periodically enters into restructure agreements with
borrowers whereby the loans were previously identified as TDRs. When such circumstances occur, the Company carefully evaluates the facts of the
subsequent restructure to determine the appropriate accounting and under certain circumstances it may be acceptable not to account for the subsequently
restructured loan as a TDR. When assessing whether a concession has been granted by the Company, any prior forgiveness on a cumulative basis is
considered a continuing concession. The Company has made the following types of loan modifications, some of which were considered a TDR:
• reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining term of the debt;
• extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for newly originated debt having similar risk
characteristics; and
• reduction of the face amount of the debt as stated in the debt agreements.
The Company recognizes that while borrowers may experience deterioration in their financial condition, many continue to be creditworthy borrowers who
have the willingness and capacity for debt repayment. In determining whether non-restructured or performing loans issued to a single or related party group
of borrowers should continue to accrue interest when the borrower has other loans that are non-performing or are TDRs, the Company, on a quarterly or
more frequent basis, performs an updated and comprehensive assessment of the willingness and capacity of the borrowers to timely and ultimately repay
their total debt obligations, including contingent obligations. Such analysis takes into account current financial information about the borrowers and
financially responsible guarantors, if any, including for example:
• analysis of global, i.e., aggregate debt service for total debt obligations;
• assessment of the value and security protection of collateral pledged using current market conditions and alternative market assumptions across a
variety of potential future situations; and
• loan structures and related covenants.
The allowance for credit losses on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment. For a TDR that is individually
reviewed and not collateral-dependent, the value of the concession can only be measured using the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a
concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the ACL is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original
interest of the loan.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments. Such ACL is
included in other liabilities on the Company’s statements of financial condition. The Company estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a
commitment usage factor over the contractual period for exposures and applying the loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss methodology to the
results of the usage calculation to estimate the liability for credit losses related to unfunded commitments for each loan segment. No credit loss estimate is
reported for off-balance sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Bank or for unfunded amounts under such arrangements that may
be drawn prior to the cancellation of the arrangement.
73
The following table presents the provision for credit losses on the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposures:
Year ended
December 31, December 31, December 31,
(Dollars in thousands) 2022 2021 2020
Provision for credit loss loans 17,433 16,380 37,637
Provision for credit loss unfunded 2,530 6,696 2,128
Total provision for credit losses 19,963 23,076 39,765
There was no provision for credit losses on debt securities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are accounted for at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or
the term of the related lease. The estimated useful life for office buildings is 15 to 40 years and the estimated useful life for furniture, fixtures, and
equipment is 3 to 10 years. Interest is capitalized for any significant building projects. For additional information relating to premises and equipment, see
Note 4.
Leases
The Company leases certain land, premises and equipment from third parties. A lessee lease is classified as an operating lease unless it meets certain
criteria (e.g., lease contains option to purchase that Company is reasonably certain to exercise), in which case it is classified as a finance lease. Operating
leases are included in net premises and equipment and other liabilities on the Company’s statements of financial condition and lease expense for lease
payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases are included in net premises and equipment and other borrowed funds on
the Company’s statements of financial condition. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the
present value of lease payments over the lease term. An ROU asset represents the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and also includes any
direct costs and payments made prior to lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. When an implicit rate is not available, an incremental
borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date is used in determining the present value of the lease payments. A lease term may
include an option to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. The Company accounts for lease and nonlease
components (e.g., common-area maintenance) together as a single combined lease component for all asset classes. Short-term leases of 12 months or less
are excluded from accounting guidance; as a result, the lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the leases are not
reflected on the Company’s statements of financial condition. Renewal and termination options are considered when determining short-term leases. Leases
are accounted for on an individual lease level.
Lease improvements incurred at the inception of the lease are recorded as an asset and depreciated over the initial term of the lease and lease improvements
incurred subsequently are depreciated over the remaining term of the lease.
The Company also leases certain premises and equipment to third parties. A lessor lease is classified as an operating lease unless it meets certain criteria
that would classify it as either a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease. For additional information relating to leases, see Note 4.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. An asset is deemed impaired if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If impaired, an
impairment loss is recognized in other expense to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, no long-lived assets
were considered materially impaired.
74
Business Combinations and Intangible Assets
Acquisition accounting requires the total purchase price to be allocated to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
certain intangible assets. Goodwill is recorded if the purchase price exceeds the net fair value of assets acquired and a bargain purchase gain is recorded in
other income if the net fair value of assets acquired exceeds the purchase price.
Adjustment of the allocated purchase price may be related to fair value estimates for which all information has not been obtained of the acquired entity
known or discovered during the allocation period, the period of time required to identify and measure the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired in
the business combination. The allocation period is generally limited to one year following consummation of a business combination.
Core deposit intangible represents the intangible value of depositor relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed in acquisitions and is amortized
using an accelerated method based on an estimated runoff of the related deposits. The core deposit intangible is evaluated for impairment and recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, with any changes in estimated useful life accounted
for prospectively over the revised remaining life. For additional information relating to core deposit intangibles, see Note 5.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the third quarter. The Company has identified that each of the Bank
divisions are reporting units (i.e., components of the Glacier Bank operating segment) given that each division has a separate management team that
regularly reviews its respective division financial information; however, the reporting units are aggregated into a single reporting unit due to the reporting
units having similar economic characteristics.
The goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not
reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Examples of events and circumstances that could trigger the need for interim
impairment testing include:
• a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate;
• an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
• unanticipated competition;
• a loss of key personnel;
• a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of; and
• the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit.
For the goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has the option, to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or
circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company
elected to bypass the qualitative assessment for its 2022 and 2021 annual goodwill impairment testing and proceed directly to the goodwill impairment
assessment. The goodwill impairment process requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments regarding fair value. The Company calculates an
implied fair value and if the implied fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. For additional
information relating to goodwill, see Note 5.
Loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the servicing rights compared to the carrying value. Impairment is
recognized through a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying value. If the Company later determines that all or a portion
of the impairment no longer exists, a reduction in the valuation allowance may be recorded. Changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in other
income. The fair value of the servicing assets are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated actual prepayment speeds and default
rates and losses.
Servicing fee income is recognized in other income for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on contractual percentage of the outstanding
principal; or a fixed amount per loan and is recorded when earned. The amortization of loan servicing fees is netted against loan servicing fee income. For
additional information relating to loan servicing rights, see Note 6.
Equity Securities
Non-marketable equity securities primarily consist of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. FHLB stock is restricted because such stock may only be
sold to FHLB at its par value. Due to restrictive terms, and the lack of a readily determinable fair value,
75
FHLB stock is carried at cost and evaluated for impairment. The investments in FHLB stock are required investments related to the Company’s borrowings
from FHLB. FHLB obtains its funding primarily through issuance of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. The U.S. government does not
guarantee these obligations, and each of the regional FHLBs is jointly and severally liable for repayment of each other’s debt.
The Company also has an insignificant amount of marketable equity securities that are included in other assets on the Company’s statements of financial
condition. Marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in other
income. Marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting
from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.
Other Borrowings
Borrowings of the Company’s consolidated variable interest entities and finance lease arrangements are included in other borrowings. For additional
information relating to VIE’s, see Note 7.
These cash flow hedges were recognized as assets or liabilities on the Company’s statements of financial condition and were measured at fair value. Cash
flows resulting from the interest rate derivative financial instruments that were accounted for as hedges of assets and liabilities were classified in the
Company’s cash flow statement in the same category as the cash flows of the items being hedged. For additional information relating to the interest rate
caps and interest rate swap agreements, see Note 11.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services or products are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s principal source of revenue is interest income from debt securities and loans. Revenue from contracts with
customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606 was $82,850,000, $65,194,000, and $54,520,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020,
respectively, and largely consisted of revenue from service charges and other fees from deposits (e.g., overdraft fees, ATM fees, debit card fees). Due to the
short-term nature of the Company’s contracts with customers, an insignificant amount of receivables related to such revenue was recorded at December 31,
2022 and 2021 and there were no impairment losses recognized. Policies specific to revenue from contracts with customers include the following:
Service Charges. Revenue from service charges consists of service charges and fees on deposit accounts under depository agreements with customers to
provide access to deposited funds and, when applicable, pay interest on deposits. Service charges on deposit accounts may be transactional or non-
transactional in nature. Transactional service charges occur in the form of a service or penalty and are charged upon the occurrence of an event (e.g.,
overdraft fees, ATM fees, wire transfer fees). Transactional service charges are recognized as services are delivered to and consumed by the customer, or as
penalty fees are charged. Non-transactional service charges are charges that are based on a broader service, such as account maintenance fees and dormancy
fees, and are recognized on a monthly basis.
Debit Card Fees. Revenue from debit card fees includes interchange fee income from debit cards processed through card association networks. Interchange
fees represent a portion of a transaction amount that the Company and other involved parties retain to compensate themselves for giving the cardholder
immediate access to funds. Interchange rates are generally set by the card association networks and are based on purchase volumes and other factors. The
Company records interchange fees as services are provided.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation awards granted, comprised of restricted stock units and stock options, are valued at fair value and compensation cost is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. The impact of forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards on
compensation expense is recognized as forfeitures occur. For additional information relating to stock-based compensation, see Note 13.
76
Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and promotion costs are recognized in the period incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense consists of current and deferred income tax expense. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded
for the current period by applying the provisions of enacted tax law to earnings or losses. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax
assets and liabilities between periods. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of applicable laws.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The term more-likely-than-not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The recognition threshold considers
the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to the Company’s judgment. In assessing the need for a valuation
allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence. For additional information relating to income taxes, see Note 16.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and OCI. OCI includes unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effect, on available-for-sale securities,
including transferred debt securities, and derivatives used for cash flow hedges. When OCI is reclassified into net income (loss), the tax effect is recognized
in income tax expense. For additional information relating to OCI, see Note 17.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2022 and 2021 financial statements to conform to the 2022 presentation.
ASU 2022-02 - Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, FASB amended Subtopic ASC 310-40 and Subtopic 326-20 relating
to post-current expected credit losses (“CECL”) (ASU 2016-13) implementation areas including TDRs and vintage disclosures. The amendments in this
Update eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 326-40, while enhancing disclosure requirements. The amendments to
Subtopic 326-20 require an entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables within the scope of Subtopic
326-20. For entities that have adopted CECL, the amendments are effective for public business entities the first interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted CECL and the entity may elect to adopt the amendments about
TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company adopted the amendments
beginning January 1, 2023. The Company adjusted its processes and procedures related to the amendments and it did not have a material impact to the
Company’s financial position and result of operations.
ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01, ASU 2022-06 - Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, FASB amended topic 848 related to the facilitation of the effects of
reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendment provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in
accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London
Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR.”) These updates are effective
77
immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December
31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its contracts and the optional expedients provided by this update, but does not expect the adoption of this
guidance to have a material impact to the financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-For-Sale Debt Securities
In assessing whether a credit loss existed on available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the Company compared the present value of cash
flows expected to be collected from the debt securities with the amortized cost basis of the debt securities. In addition, the following factors were evaluated
individually and collectively in determining the existence of expected credit losses:
• credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO” entities such as Standard and Poor’s [“S&P”] and
Moody’s);
• extent to which the fair value is less than cost;
• adverse conditions, if any, specifically related to the impaired securities, including the industry and geographic area;
• the overall deal and payment structure of the debt securities, including the investor entity’s position within the structure, underlying obligors,
financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including specific events which may affect the issuer’s operations or future earnings, and
credit support or enhancements; and
• failure of the issuer and underlying obligors, if any, to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
The following table summarizes available-for-sale debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position for which an ACL has not been recorded, based
on the length of time the individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position. The number of available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized
position is also disclosed.

With respect to severity, the majority of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized loss positions at December 31, 2022 have unrealized losses as a
percentage of book value of less than five percent. A substantial portion of such securities were issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie
Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) and other agencies of the
U.S. government or have credit ratings issued by one or more of the NRSRO entities in the four highest credit rating categories. All of the Company’s
available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized loss positions at December 31, 2022 have been determined to be investment grade.
80
The Company did not have any past due available-for-sale debt securities as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Accrued interest
receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $10,518,000 and $18,788,000 at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was
excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
During the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired available-for-sale debt securities from the secondary market and through the Altabank
acquisition. Such securities were evaluated and it was determined there were no PCD securities, so no allowance for credit losses was recorded.
Based on an analysis of its available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined the decline in value
was unrelated to credit losses and was primarily the result of changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to acquisition. The fair value of the
debt securities is expected to recover as payments are received and the debt securities approach maturity. In addition, as of December 31, 2022,
management determined it did not intend to sell available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, and there was no expected requirement to sell such
securities before recovery of their amortized cost. As a result, no ACL was recorded on available-for-sale debt securities at December 31, 2022. As part of
this determination, the Company considered contractual obligations, regulatory constraints, liquidity, capital, asset/liability management and securities
portfolio objectives and whether or not any of the Company’s investment securities were managed by third-party investment funds.
The Company’s municipal bonds in the held-to-maturity debt securities portfolio is primarily comprised of general obligation and revenue bonds with
NRSRO ratings in the four highest credit rating categories. All of the Company’s municipal bonds that are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities at
December 31, 2022 have been determined to be investment grade. Held-to-maturity debt securities included in the Company’s U.S. government and federal
agency and residential mortgage-backed security categories are issued and guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and
other agencies of the U.S. government and are considered to be zero-loss securities. This determination is in consideration of the explicit and implicit
guarantees by the US Government, the US Government’s ability to print its own currency, a history of no credit losses by the US Government and noted
agencies and the current economic and financial condition of the United States and US Government providing no indication the zero-loss determination is
unjustified.
As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any held-to-maturity debt securities past due. Accrued interest receivable on
held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $17,524,000 and $8,737,000 at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and were excluded from
the estimate of credit losses.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, an insignificant amount of credit losses is expected on the held-to-maturity debt securities portfolio; therefore, no
ACL was recorded at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Net purchase accounting (discounts) premiums included in loans receivable $ (17,832) (25,166)
Accrued interest receivable on loans $ 54,971 49,133
Substantially all of the Company’s loans receivable are with borrowers in the Company’s geographic market areas. Although the Company has a diversified
loan portfolio, a substantial portion of borrowers’ ability to service their obligations is dependent upon the economic performance in the Company’s market
areas.
Other than purchases through bank acquisitions, the Company had no significant purchases or sales of portfolio loans or reclassification of loans held for
investment to loans held for sale during 2022 and 2021.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had loans of $10,520,643,000 pledged as collateral for FHLB advances and FRB discount window. The Company is
subject to regulatory limits for the amount of loans to any individual borrower and the Company is in compliance with this regulation as of December 31,
2022 and 2021. No borrower had outstanding loans or commitments exceeding 10 percent of the Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity as of
December 31, 2022.
The Company has entered into transactions with its executive officers and directors and their affiliates. The aggregate amount of loans outstanding to such
related parties at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $101,637,000 and $125,034,000, respectively. During 2022, transactions included new loans to such
related parties of $21,710,000, repayments of $9,919,000, and further reduced by $35,188,000 due to change in related parties. In management’s opinion,
such loans were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transaction with other persons.

As a result of the adoption of the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) accounting standard, the Company adjusted the January 1, 2020 ACL balances
within each loan segment to reflect the changes from the incurred loss model to the current expected credit loss model which resulted in increases and
decreases in each loan segment based on, among other factors, quantitative and qualitative assumptions and the economic forecast to estimate the provision
for credit losses over the expected life of the loans. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the ACL increased primarily as a result of organic loan
growth. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the ACL increased primarily as a result of the $18,056,000 provision for credit losses recorded as a
result of the Alta acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase
in the overall ACL and increases and decreases within certain loan segments. In addition, during 2020 the acquisition of SBAZ resulted in a $4,794,000
increase in the ACL due to the provision for credit losses recorded subsequent to the acquisition date.
83
The sizeable charge-offs in the other consumer loan segment is driven by deposit overdraft charge-offs which typically experience high charge-off rates and
the amounts were comparable to historical trends. The other segments experience routine charge-offs and recoveries, with occasional large credit
relationships charge-offs and recoveries that cause fluctuations from prior periods. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no
significant changes to the types of collateral securing collateral-dependent loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired loans through the Alta acquisition. Such loans were evaluated at acquisition date and it
was determined there were PCD loans totaling $58,576,000 with an ACL of $371,000. There was also a premium associated with such loans of $840,000,
which was attributable to changes in interest rates and other factors such as liquidity as of acquisition date.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired loans through the SBAZ acquisition. Such loans were evaluated at acquisition date and it
was determined there were PCD loans totaling $3,401,000 with an ACL of $49,000. There was also a discount associated with such loans of $13,000,
which was attributable to changes in interest rates and other factors such as liquidity as of acquisition date.

Collateral-Dependent Loans
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially
through the operation or sale of the collateral. The collateral on the loans is a significant portion of what secures the collateral-dependent loans and
significant changes to the fair value of the collateral can impact the ACL. During 2022, there were no significant changes to collateral which secures the
collateral-dependent loans, whether due to general deterioration or other reasons. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-
dependent loans by collateral type:

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes commercial real estate and other commercial loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of
borrowers to service their obligations. The following tables present the amortized cost in commercial real estate and other commercial loans based on the
Company’s internal risk rating. The date of a modification, renewal or extension of a loan is considered for the year of origination if the terms of the loan
are as favorable to the Company as the terms are for a comparable loan to other borrowers with similar credit risk.

A VIE is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity that meets one of the following criteria: 1) the entity’s equity investment at risk
is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; 2) the holders of the equity
investment at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; and 3) the voting rights of some holders of the equity investment at
risk are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb losses or receive returns, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the holder of
equity investment at risk with disproportionately few voting rights. A VIE must be consolidated by the Company if it is deemed to be the primary
beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has both: 1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s
economic performance; and 2) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits
from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company’s VIEs are regularly monitored to determine if any reconsideration events have occurred that could cause the primary beneficiary status to
change. A previously unconsolidated VIE is consolidated when the Company becomes the primary beneficiary. A previously consolidated VIE is
deconsolidated when the Company ceases to be the primary beneficiary or the entity is no longer a VIE.
The Bank is also the sole member of certain tax credit funds that make direct investments in qualified affordable housing projects (e.g., Low-Income
Housing Tax Credit [“LIHTC”] partnerships). As such, the Company is the primary beneficiary of these tax credit funds and their assets, liabilities, and
results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company also owns the following trust subsidiaries, each of which issued trust preferred securities as capital instruments: Glacier Capital Trust II,
Glacier Capital Trust III, Glacier Capital Trust IV, Citizens (ID) Statutory Trust I, Bank of the San Juans Bancorporation Trust I, First Company Statutory
Trust 2001, First Company Statutory Trust 2003, FNB (UT) Statutory Trust I and

FNB (UT) Statutory Trust II. The trust subsidiaries have no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance,
administration and repayment of the securities held by third parties. The trust subsidiaries are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements because the sole asset of each trust subsidiary is a receivable from the Company, even though the Company owns all of the voting equity shares
of the trust subsidiaries, has fully guaranteed the obligations of the trust subsidiaries and may have the right to redeem the third party securities under
certain circumstances. The Company reports the trust preferred securities issued to the trust subsidiaries as subordinated debentures on the Company’s
statements of financial condition. For additional information on the Company’s investments in trust subsidiaries, see Note 10.

_____________________________

This is the paid rate on the subordinated debentures which excludes the impact from the interest rate cap derivatives. For additional information relating to
interest rate cap derivatives, see Note 11.
The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon repayment of the subordinated debentures at their stated maturity date or the earlier
redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation amount plus accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. Interest distributions are
payable quarterly. The Company may defer the payment of interest at any time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters provided that the deferral
period does not extend past the stated maturity. During any such deferral period, distributions on the trust preferred securities will also be deferred and the
Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common shares will be restricted.
Subject to prior approval by the FRB, the trust preferred securities may be redeemed at par prior to maturity at the Company’s option on or after the
redemption date. All of the Company’s trust preferred securities have reached the redemption date and could be redeemed at the Company’s option. The
trust preferred securities may also be redeemed at any time in whole (but not in part) for the Trusts in the event of unfavorable changes in laws or
regulations that result in 1) subsidiary trusts becoming subject to federal income tax on income received on the subordinated debentures; 2) interest payable
by the Company on the subordinated debentures becoming
97
non-deductible for federal tax purposes; 3) the requirement for the trusts to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or 4) loss of
the ability to treat the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital under the FRB capital adequacy guidelines.
Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require that if a depository institution holding company exceeds $15 billion due to an acquisition, then trust preferred
securities are to be excluded from Tier 1 capital beginning in the period in which the transaction occurred. During 2020, the Company’s acquisition of
SBAZ on February 29, 2020, resulted in total consolidated assets exceeding $15 billion; accordingly the trust preferred securities were included in Tier 2
capital instead of Tier 1 beginning in 2020.
Subordinated Debentures
The Company acquired subordinated debentures with the FSB acquisition that qualified as Tier 2 capital under the applicable capital adequacy rules and
regulations promulgated by the FRB. The Tier 2 subordinated debentures were not deposits and were not insured by the FDIC or any other government
agency. Such obligations were subordinated to the claims of general creditors, were unsecured and were ineligible as collateral. The principal amount was
due at maturity and interest distributions were payable quarterly. The Tier 2 subordinated debentures should not be prepaid prior to the fifth anniversary of
the closing date, which was September 30, 2020, except in the event the obligation no longer qualifies as Tier 2 capital (“Tier 2 capital event”) or the
interest payable is no longer deductible (“tax event”). Any prepayment made in connection with a Tier 2 capital event or a tax event will be subject to
obtaining the prior approval of the FRB. The Company prepaid this obligation in 2021.
Interest Rate Cap Derivatives. In March 2020, the Company purchased interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling
$130,500,000 on its variable rate subordinated debentures and were determined to be fully effective during the year ended December 31, 2022. The interest
rate caps require receipt of variable amounts from the counterparty when interest rates rise above the strike price in the contracts. The strike prices in the
five year term contracts range from 1.5 percent to 2 percent plus 3 month LIBOR. At December 31, 2022, and 2021 the interest rate caps had a fair value of
$7,757,000 and $934,000, respectively, and were reported as other assets on the Company’s statements of financial condition. Changes in fair value were
recorded in OCI. Amortization recorded on the interest rate caps totaled $168,000 and $168,000, respectively, and was reported as a component of interest
expense on subordinated debentures for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
The effect of cash flow hedge accounting on OCI for the periods ending December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was as follows:

commitments to fund the loans. Forward sales commitments on a “best efforts” basis are not designated in hedge relationships until the loan is funded.
The Federal Reserve adopted capital adequacy guidelines that are used to assess the adequacy of capital in supervising a bank holding company. The
guidelines require the Company to hold a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. The
Company has elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2022,
management believes the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide the following classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. If undercapitalized, capital distributions (including payment of a dividend) are generally restricted, as is
paying management fees to its bank holding company. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements set forth in the table below can initiate certain
mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s
financial condition. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings and other factors.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Company and Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total capital, Tier 1 capital, Common Tier 1 capital and
Tier 1 Leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2022 that management believes have changed
the Company’s or Bank’s risk-based capital category.
Current guidance from the Federal Reserve provides, among other things, that dividends per share on the Company’s common stock generally should not
exceed earnings per share, measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. In certain circumstances, Montana law also places limits or restrictions on a
bank’s ability to declare and pay dividends.

The Company provides its qualified employees with a comprehensive benefit program, including health, dental and vision insurance, life and accident
insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, paid time off, Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan, stock-based compensation plan, deferred compensation
plans, and supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”). The Company has elected to self-insure certain costs related to employee health, dental and
vision benefit programs. Costs resulting from non-insured losses are expensed as incurred. The Company has purchased insurance that limits its exposure
on an individual claim basis for the employee health benefit programs.
The profit sharing plan contributions consists of a 3 percent non-elective safe harbor contribution fully funded by the Company and an employer
discretionary contribution. The employer discretionary contribution depends on the Company’s profitability. The total profit sharing plan expense for the
years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $23,588,000, $20,421,000 and $22,047,000, respectively.
The 401(k) plan allows eligible employees under the age of 50 to contribute up to 60 percent, and those 50 and older to contribute up to 100 percent of their
eligible annual compensation up to the limit set annually by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company matches an amount equal to 50 percent of
the first 6 percent of an employee’s contribution. The Company’s contribution to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020
was $6,247,000, $5,267,000, and $4,985,000, respectively.

The Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized
income tax benefits in interest expense and penalties are recognized in other expense. Interest expense and penalties recognized with respect to income tax
liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was not significant. The Company had no accrued liabilities for the payment of interest
or penalties at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company has assessed the need for a valuation allowance and determined that a valuation allowance was not necessary at December 31, 2022 and
2021. The Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realizable by offsetting future taxable income
from reversing taxable temporary differences and anticipated future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences). In its assessment, the
Company considered its strong earnings history, no history of income tax credit carryforwards expiring unused, and no expected future net operating losses
(for tax purposes).

Note 18. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period
presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including the net increase in shares as if dilutive outstanding restricted stock units were vested and
stock options were exercised, using the treasury stock method.
Basic and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on the following:

Note 21. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. There is a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets), Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs)
are recognized on the actual transfer date. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021,
and 2020.
Recurring Measurements
The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as
the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation
techniques during the period ended December 31, 2022.
Debt securities, available-for-sale. The fair value for available-for-sale debt securities is estimated by obtaining quoted market prices for identical assets,
where available. If such prices are not available, fair value is based on independent asset pricing services and models, the inputs of which are market-based
or independently sourced market parameters, including but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, market spreads, prepayments, defaults,
recoveries, cumulative loss projections, and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs
are not available, such securities are classified as Level 3 within the hierarchy.
Fair value determinations of available-for-sale debt securities are the responsibility of the Company’s corporate accounting and treasury departments. The
Company obtains fair value estimates from independent third party vendors on a monthly basis. The vendors’ pricing system methodologies, procedures
and system controls are reviewed to ensure they are appropriately designed and operating effectively. The Company reviews the vendors’ inputs for fair
value estimates and the recommended assignments of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The review includes the extent to which markets for debt
securities are determined to have limited or no activity, or are judged to be active markets. The Company reviews the extent to which observable and
unobservable inputs are used as well as the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions about risk that a market participant would use in active markets,
with adjustments for limited or inactive markets. In considering the inputs to the fair value estimates, the Company places less reliance on quotes that are
judged to not reflect orderly transactions, or are non-binding indications. In assessing credit risk, the Company reviews payment performance, collateral
adequacy, third party research and analyses, credit rating histories and issuers’ financial statements. For those markets determined to be inactive or limited,
the valuation techniques used are models for which management has verified that discount rates are appropriately adjusted to reflect illiquidity and credit
risk.
Loans held for sale, at fair value. Loans held for sale measured at fair value, for which an active secondary market and readily available market prices
exist, are initially valued at the transaction price and are subsequently valued by using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of
that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors. Loans held for sale measured at fair value are
classified within Level 2. Included in gain on sale of loans were net gains of $1,427,000, net gains of $5,496,000 and net losses of $5,368,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, from the changes in fair value of loans held for sale measured at fair value. Electing to measure
loans held for sale at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in fair value of these assets with changes in the value of the
derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting.
Loan interest rate lock commitments. Fair value estimates for loan interest rate lock commitments were based upon the estimated sales price, origination
fees, direct costs, interest rate changes, etc. and were obtained from an independent third party. The components of the valuation were observable or could
be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
109
Forward commitments to sell TBA securities. Forward commitments to sell TBA securities are used to economically hedge the interest rate risk associated
with certain loan commitments. The fair value estimates for the TBA commitments were based upon the estimated sale of the TBA hedge obtained from an
independent third party. The components of the valuation were observable or could be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, were
classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Interest rate cap derivative financial instruments. Fair value estimates for interest rate cap derivative financial instruments were based upon the discounted
cash flows of known payments plus the option value of each caplet which incorporates market rate forecasts and implied market volatilities. The
components of the valuation were observable or could be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, were classified within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy. The Company also obtained and compared the reasonableness of the pricing from independent third party valuations.

Non-recurring Measurements
The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as well as the
general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the
period ended December 31, 2022.
Other real estate owned. OREO is initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell, establishing a new cost basis. OREO is subsequently accounted
for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Estimated fair value of OREO is based on appraisals or evaluations (new or updated). OREO is
classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Collateral-dependent loans, net of ACL. Fair value estimates of collateral-dependent loans that are individually reviewed are based on the fair value of the
collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent individually reviewed loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s credit department reviews appraisals for OREO and collateral-dependent loans, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the
collateral. The appraisal or evaluation (new or updated) is considered the starting point for determining fair value. The valuation techniques used in
preparing appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) include the cost approach, income approach, sales comparison approach, or a combination of the
preceding valuation techniques. The key inputs used to determine the fair value of the collateral-dependent loans and OREO include selling costs,
discounted cash flow rate or capitalization rate, and adjustment to comparables. Valuations and significant inputs obtained by independent sources are
reviewed by the Company for accuracy and reasonableness. The Company also considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the
fair value. The appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) are reviewed at least quarterly and more frequently based on current market conditions, including
deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and when property values may be subject to significant volatility. After review and acceptance of the
collateral appraisal or evaluation (new or updated), adjustments to the impaired loan or OREO may occur. The Company generally obtains appraisals or
evaluations (new or updated) annually.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following tables present the carrying amounts, estimated fair values and the level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial
instruments not carried at fair value. Receivables and payables due in one year or less, equity securities without readily determinable fair values and
deposits with no defined or contractual maturities are excluded. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended
December 31, 2022.
Debt securities, held-to-maturity: fair value for held-to-maturity debt securities is estimated in the same manner as available-for sale debt securities, which
is described above.
Loans receivable, net of ACL: The loans were fair valued on an individual basis, with consideration given to the loans' underlying characteristics, including
account types, remaining terms and balance, interest rates, past delinquencies, current market rates, etc. The model utilizes a discounted cash flow approach
to estimate the fair value of the loans using various assumptions such as prepayment speeds, projected default probabilities, losses given defaults, etc. The
discounted cash flow approach models the credit losses directly in the projected cash flows. The model applies various assumptions regarding credit,
interest, and prepayment risks for the loans based on loan types, payment types and fixed or variable classifications.
Term Deposits: fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The
market rates used were obtained from an independent third party based on current rates offered by the Company’s regional competitors.
Repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds: fair value of term repurchase agreements and other term borrowings is estimated based on current
repurchase rates and borrowing rates currently available to the Company for repurchases and borrowings with similar terms and maturities. The estimated
fair value for overnight repurchase agreements and other borrowings is book value.
Subordinated debentures: fair value of the subordinated debt is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using current estimated market
rates obtained from an independent third party.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments: unused lines of credit and letters of credit represent the principal categories of off-balance sheet financial
instruments. The fair value of commitments is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of
the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of unused lines of credit and letters of credit is not material; therefore, such
commitments are not included in the following tables.

Note 22. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. The
Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making off-balance sheet commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Company is a defendant in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending
litigation will not have a material affect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
115
Note 23. Mergers and Acquisitions
The Company has completed the following acquisition during the last two years:
• Altabancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altabank
The assets and liabilities of Alta were recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition at the estimated fair value as of the
acquisition date and the results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since that date. The following
table discloses the fair value estimates of the consideration transferred, the total identifiable net assets acquired and the resulting goodwill arising from the
acquisition:

The core deposit intangible for each acquisition was determined to have an estimated life of 10 years.
2021 Acquisition
On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Altabancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altabank, a
community bank based in American Fork, Utah. Altabank provides banking services to individuals and businesses in Utah with twenty-five banking offices
from Preston, Idaho to St. George, Utah. The acquisition significantly increased the Company’s presence in the State of Utah. Alta operates as a new
division of the Bank under its existing name and management team. The Alta acquisition was valued at $839,862,000 and resulted in the Company issuing
15,173,482 shares of its common stock and paying $9,000 in cash in exchange for all of Alta’s outstanding common stock shares. The fair value of the
Company shares issued was determined on the basis of the opening market price of the Company’s common stock on the October 1, 2021 acquisition date.
The excess of the preliminary fair value of consideration transferred over total identifiable net assets was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from
the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Alta. None of the
goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes as the acquisition was accounted for as a tax-free exchange.
The fair value of the Alta’s assets acquired include gross loans with fair values of $1,902,321,000. The gross principal and contractual interest due under
Alta contracts was $1,923,392,000. The Company evaluated the principal and contractual interest due at the acquisition date and determined that an
insignificant amount were not expected to be collectible.
116
The Company incurred $9,546,000 of expenses in connection with this acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2021. Mergers and acquisition
expenses are included in other expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and consist of third-party costs, conversion costs and
employee retention and severance expenses.
Total income consisting of net interest income and non-interest income of the acquired operations of Alta was approximately $29,966,000 and net loss was
approximately $9,415,000 from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of
the Company as if the Alta acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There have been no changes or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.
There are inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected,
including the possibility of circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of an internal control system may
