First Internet Bancorp 10-Q

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”), as updated in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (“First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q”), except as described below. The risk factor set forth below updates, and should be read together with, the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K and First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could exacerbate or trigger other risks discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K and First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us, our business, customers, employees and third-party service providers, and the ultimate impact on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. Global health concerns related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had a significant negative impact on the macroeconomic environment and market conditions, including significant disruption of, and volatility in, financial markets, and the pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty, reduced economic activity and resulted in lost revenues and increased unemployment throughout the United States, but also specifically in Indiana, where we maintain a significant portion of our operations. Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The recent outbreak and continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other highly contagious or infectious disease, could negatively impact the ability of our employees and customers to conduct such transactions and disrupt the business activities and operations in the areas in which we operate. While the spread of the COVID-19 virus has minimally impacted our operations as of June 30, 2020, we could experience temporary closures of our corporate offices and/or suspension of certain services in particular markets. Currently, it is unknown how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last, or when restrictions on individuals and businesses will be fully lifted and when businesses and their employees will be able to resume normal activities in the markets we operate in and serve. Additionally, new information may emerge regarding the severity or spread of COVID-19 and additional actions may be taken by federal, state and local governments to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact. Should there be sustained disruption in our operations, or that of our customers, our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the financial markets and has resulted in a number of Federal Reserve actions, which have resulted in a significant decline in market interest rates. Most of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature and are sensitive to movements in market interest rates. A prolonged period of volatile and unstable market conditions will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our net interest income, net interest margin and profitability. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards against pandemics or another contagious disease, the spread of COVID-19 could also negatively impact the availability of our employees who are necessary to conduct business operations, as well as potentially impact the business and operations of our third-party service providers. If the response to contain COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on our intangible assets, investments, loans, loan servicing rights, deferred tax assets, or derivatives. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. After the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business, financial condition and results of operations as a result of the virus’s global and local economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
