## Risks

Third Coast faces the core risks of a relationship bank: interest-rate sensitivity, deposit competition, credit quality, and dependence on local economic conditions. It also has execution risk around acquisitions and integration, plus cybersecurity and technology risks that are common in modern banking.

- **Interest rate risk** [high] — Bank earnings depend on the spread between loan yields and deposit/funding costs.
- **Deposit concentration and funding stability** [high] — Loss of large or relationship deposits can increase funding costs and reduce liquidity.
- **Credit risk in commercial lending** [high] — The loan book is concentrated in business lending, which is sensitive to borrower performance.
- **Acquisition and integration risk** [medium] — Mergers can create operational disruption and may not deliver expected benefits.
- **Cybersecurity and fraud** [high] — Banks handle sensitive customer data and payments, making them targets for attacks.

- Interest-rate changes can compress earnings and affect deposit behavior
- Large depositor withdrawals could force more expensive funding
- Loan losses can rise if local business conditions weaken
- Acquisition integration may be slower or costlier than expected
- Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt operations or expose data

## Accounting

As a bank, Third Coast’s reported results are heavily shaped by loan-loss estimates, fair value marks on securities and derivatives, and interest-rate sensitivity assumptions. Credit loss provisioning, deposit behavior assumptions, and merger accounting can all materially affect period-to-period comparability.

- **Allowance for credit losses** — Loan loss provision and balance sheet reserves
- **Fair value measurement** — Noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income
- **Interest rate sensitivity assumptions** — Net interest income and capital planning
- **Merger and acquisition accounting** — Balance sheet basis marks and potential impairment
- **Mortgage-backed securities prepayment assumptions** — Interest income and portfolio valuation

- Allowance for credit losses depends on borrower and macro assumptions
- Fair value changes on securities and derivatives can affect earnings
- Deposit repricing assumptions influence interest-rate risk modeling
- Merger accounting can create purchase accounting adjustments
- Loan prepayments and mortgage-backed securities affect interest income timing
