BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors is pleased to present to the owners of Horizon Credit Union the 2018 Annual Report. 2018 was an extremely successful year, as Horizon Credit Union exceeded or met all nine performance measures in the 2018 Business Plan. Our strategic framework for the last few years has been to build Horizon Credit Union’s capital and generate equity for our members. We are excited that 2018 has done that! The past year, while profitable, has brought challenges, particularly with the departure of the CEO at the end of August. A leadership change can often be detrimental to a financial institution our size. This was not the case at Horizon Credit Union. The challenge was met head on by our staff. This meant there was no significant impact to the organization or our owners. On November 1st, the Board of Directors announced the appointment of long-time employee, Larry Yeadon, to the position of CEO. His experience at and knowledge of Horizon Credit Union will provide continuity and bring a new direction for 2019 and onward. The Board of Directors looks forward to working with Larry in the years to come. Our commitment to the co-operative principles continues to be a driver in the role Horizon Credit Union defines for itself. Just when we thought our staff had done all they could, they stepped up and did so much more. The combined volunteer hours for staff in 2018 came to 2717 hours. This is an increase of 507 hours - the equivalent of over 63 business days. Horizon Credit Union and the staff take our role in your communities seriously and we hope you see the benefit of us being there for you. Lastly, the Board of Directors has undertaken a large overhaul of our Strategic Plan. A day and a half was scheduled in December for Board and the Executive team to begin the process that will take our organization through to 2023. We are pleased and excited with the outcome. This new plan is ambitious, future forward and a little bold. We hope to see the fruits of this new plan throughout 2019 and going forward. This is the foundation for Horizon Credit Union going forward: Our New Vision: Financial Wellness: Today, Tomorrow, Together Our New Mission: Working with our members to support their financial goals

Our New Values: Proactive Listeners, Excellent Communicators, Approachable Employees, Knowledgeable Support, Accountable for our Actions, Flexible with our Solutions, and Confident in our Behaviors.

The Board of Directors, staff and members will continue on this journey together so that we can all feel confident in our Financial Wellness together. Heidi Schofer, On behalf of the Board of Directors

INTRODUCTION

Horizon Credit Union is an independent regional credit union owned by our members. Under the current credit union legislation, Horizon Credit Union is able to provide financial services to members and non-members. As of December 31, 2018 Horizon Credit Union had 5186 members and 1273 non-members. Non-members do not participate in the democratic processes of the credit union.

Horizon Credit Union serves the communities of Melville, Grayson, Neudorf, Grenfell and Wolseley through its five branches. In these communities we provide a range of financial services including agricultural, commercial, personal loans and lines-of-credit, deposit accounts, term deposits, registered products such as RRSP, RRIF, RESP, TFSA and wealth management services.

KEY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

Horizon Credit Union strategically positions itself as a community financial institution servicing the needs of its members and community. Our slogan is “Today, Tomorrow, Together.” This is synonymous with its plan of careful and measured growth. The credit union is committed to achieving its financial plan, but at the same time it must begin moving forward with its long-term strategic plans to remain current in today’s changing marketplace.

To monitor specific objectives throughout the year that support this vision, a strategic planning document is developed which in turn is used to create our Business Plan. Horizon Credit Union’s key strategic objectives in 2018 were: People & Community, Financial, Member Focus and Sustainability. These documents are regularly measured and monitored to achieve our goals and targets. To do this a Balanced Scorecard is used.

RESULTS

Balance Sheet Horizon Credit Union balance sheet for on book assets increased by $4,714,781 or 2.18% in 2018. On book assets at December 31, 2018 were $220,098,790. Our credit union had budgeted 3.04% growth in this area and ended with 2.18%. Member deposit balances increased by $3,367,736 or 1.70%. Member deposits at December 31, 2018 were $201,959,385. Our credit union had budgeted 3.03% growth in this area and ended with 1.70%. Management will continue to monitor and manage deposit growth to ensure that the liquidity requirements of the organization are met. Horizon Credit Union loan balances grew by $3,959,457 or 2.31% in 2018. Loans as a percentage of assets at December 31, 2018 now sit at 79.54%. It is the goal of our organization to work towards keeping the loans as a percentage of assets between 75% and 83%. At the year ending December 31, 2018 our total loan book sat at $175,074,975. Our budget for loan growth in 2018 was 3.90% and we ended the year at 2.31%.

Operating Statement Interest rates in 2018 have increased due to three prime rate changes. The net interest margin for a financial institution is the difference between the interest received from members on outstanding loans and the interest received on investments, less the interest paid to members on deposits. The 2018 interest margin is $5,598,207 or 2.54% of assets. The 2017 interest margin was $5,009,317 or 2.33% of assets. Non-interest revenue is an important source of revenue for Horizon Credit Union and will therefore continue to receive attention as we move forward in 2019. Non-interest revenue is made up of a combination of market valuation gains/losses, insurance, Wealth Management commissions and service fees. Horizon Credit Union will continue to work towards maximizing revenues through non-interest revenue sources while remaining competitive within the marketplace. Operating expenses at December 31, 2018 were at $5,450,428 or 2.47% of assets. At the end of December 31, 2017 operating expenses were $5,034,845 or 2.34% of assets. At 2018 year end, Horizon Credit Union operating costs were under budget by $59,876.

Net earnings for 2018 were $1,396,294 up from the previous year which net earnings were $972,924. At 2018 year-end our retained earnings grew by $1,038,280 and our total equity was $16,864,751 or 7.66% of assets. Management of Horizon Credit Union feels we had a successful year and will continue to focus on building a strong capital position.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

One of the primary measures of financial strength of any financial institution is its capital position. A capital plan is developed by management in accordance with the regulatory framework and is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The goal of the capital plan is to forecast Horizon Credit Union’s capital strength going forward and outline the strategies and actions available to the Board and Management to ensure the credit union’s ongoing capital strength over the term of the plan. As our capital is comprised of our retained earnings, Horizon Credit Union relies on profitability to grow its capital position. In 2013 the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (CUDGC) released a revised version of their Capital Adequacy Requirements. CUDGC prescribes capital adequacy measures and minimum capital requirements. Regulatory standards require credit unions to maintain a minimum total eligible capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, a minimum total tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6% and a minimum common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. Eligible capital consists of total tier 1 and tier 2 capital. In addition to the minimum capital ratios, Horizon Credit Union is required to hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% effective January 1, 2016. The capital conservation buffer is designed to avoid breaches of the minimum capital requirement. Failure to comply with regulatory limits may result in regulator intervention. Horizon Credit Union is in compliance with these regulated limits. Risk-Weighted Capital is a ratio that measures capital in relation to the risk in Horizon Credit Union’s assets and operations. Based on the prescribed risk of each type of asset, a weighting of 0% to 1,250% is assigned. Tier 1 Capital is defined as a credit union’s primary capital and comprises the highest quality of capital elements while tier 2 is secondary capital and falls short of meeting tier 1 requirements for permanence or freedom from mandatory charges. Tier 1 capital consists of two components: common equity tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital. Common equity tier 1 includes retained earnings, contributed surplus and accumulated other comprehensive income. Deductions from common equity tier 1 capital include goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets (except those arising from temporary differences), increases in equity capital resulting from securitization transactions, unconsolidated substantial investments and fair value gains/losses on own-use property. Additional tier 1 capital consists of qualifying membership shares and other investment shares issued by the credit union that meet the criteria for inclusion in additional tier 1 capital.

2018 ANNUAL REPORT HORIZON CREDIT UNION

12

Tier 2 capital includes a collective allowance for credit losses to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, subordinated indebtedness and qualifying membership shares or other investment shares issued by the credit union that meet the criteria for inclusion in tier 2 capital and are not included in tier 1 capital. Horizon Credit Union’s minimum ratio for eligible capital to risk-weighted assets is 10.5% and our long term range has been set at 12.35% - 14.35% as supported by our Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process or ICAAP analysis. As of December 31, 2018 Horizon Credit Union’s common equity tier 1 to risk-weighted assets is 12.51% and total tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 12.51%. Horizon Credit Union’s total eligible capital to risk-weighted assets for 2018 is 13.14% which is up from 2017’s as it was 12.00%. Horizon Credit Union does meet minimum regulatory standards but continues to implement strategies to improve capital levels to be within our target range. Another measurement of capital levels is called the leverage test and it is a calculation of eligible capital to leverage assets. Currently, the regulatory requirements for a credit union is to have a minimum leverage ratio of 5%. Horizon Credit Union has established a target range of 6.5% - 8%. Horizon Credit Union’s leverage ratio as of December 31, 2018 is 7.84%. This is an increase compared to 7.28% in 2017. Credit Unions assess additional capital requirements based on risks faced by their individual operations using an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). ICAAP evaluates requirements for capital relative to strategic plans and the credit union’s risk appetite. The assessment of risks with assigned capital requirements is a key tool in making strategic business decisions. Enterprise-wide stress testing and scenario analysis are also used to assess the impact of various stress conditions on our risk profile and capital requirements. Failure to comply with regulatory standards, enacts CUDGC to take any necessary action. Necessary actions may include, but is not limited to: • Reducing or restricting the credit union’s authorities and limits • Subjecting the credit union to preventive intervention • Issuing a compliance order • Placing the credit union under supervision or administration; and • Issuing an amalgamation order As of December 31, 2018, Horizon Credit Union meets all minimum regulatory standards.

The total capital position of Horizon Credit Union is:

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

Managing liquidity is essential to maintaining the safety and soundness of the credit union. Horizon Credit Union’s liquidity management framework, targets and strategies are established and documented in a Liquidity Plan which is approved by the Board of Directors annually. Adequate levels of liquidity are required to meet regulatory requirements and fluctuations in member loans and deposit demand. Horizon Credit Union diligently manages the balance sheet, aiming for a loan-to-asset ratio in the range of 75 to 83%. Horizon Credit Union ended the year with a ratio of 79.54%. The main funding sources managed by Horizon Credit Union are cash and securities and member deposits. Horizon Credit Union has an authorized line-of-credit with SaskCentral in the amount of $4.3 million. SaskCentral and Concentra Bank have options for funding programs available to credit union’s for liquidity purposes. Horizon Credit Union also has the ability to syndicate loans to other credit unions for liquidity and diversification purposes. SaskCentral is the statutory liquidity manager for the Saskatchewan Credit Union system. Credit unions are required to hold 10% of member deposits in statutory liquidity funds and adjust those figures on a quarterly basis. As of January 1, 2017 the provincial regulator, Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (CUDGC) issued new liquidity standards. The new standards introduced the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR). The purpose of the LCR is to ensure Horizon Credit Union has an adequate stock of unencumbered, high-quality assets (HQLA) to meet its liquidity needs for a 30-day calendar stress scenario and consisting of cash or assets that can be converted into cash at little or no loss of value. Horizon Credit Union’s HQLA consists of cash/cash equivalents and statutory liquidity investments at SaskCentral. Net cash outflows (obligations) consists of retail deposit run-off, unsecured wholesale deposit funding run-off, drawdown commitments, undrawn line-of-credit commitments less contractual inflows due in less than 30 days and amounts received from financial institutions and other counter-parties. The Corporation has developed a phased-in approach where the minimum LCR requirements start out at 80% in 2017, then go to 90% in 2018 and in 2019 it will be 100%.

Horizon Credit Union has completed an assessment of the LCR since 2016 and the ratio was well above the standard. Therefore, Horizon Credit Union has set a target range of 125% - 150%. Horizon Credit Union’s LCR ratio as of December 31, 2018 is 477.73%. Failure to comply with regulatory standards, enacts CUDGC to take any necessary action. Necessary actions may include, but is not limited to:

• Reducing or restricting the credit union’s authorities and limits • Subjecting the credit union to preventive intervention • Issuing a compliance order • Placing the credit union under supervision or administration; and • Issuing an amalgamation order

Horizon Credit Union meets all liquidity regulatory requirements in 2018.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT

Each year our credit union spends significant resources measuring and assessing risks and ensuring we are adequately prepared to serve our communities now and in the future. This process is called Enterprise Risk Management or ERM for short and is a requirement of credit unions in Saskatchewan as laid out by Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation. What is Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

• An ongoing process to identify risks both current and emerging, measuring the potential impact and then articulating how you are going to protect the value of those risks.

• It is the link between Strategic and Business Plans and optimization of the value they will create.

• The goal of good risk management is not to minimize risk, but to achieve the best balance of risk and opportunity.

Who is responsible

• Employees - identify risks and opportunities, be aware of the strategic direction and impacts and to apply risk management.

• Management - apply risk management to all key decisions and processes, assign, monitor and report key risks and opportunities also to support a risk-smart culture.

• Board of Directors - review all components of the process, monitor management of key risks/opportunities, evaluate management and reporting, assist in identifying, evaluating, auditing risk exposure, review corporate exposure, review appropriateness of risk treatment and get management confirmation they are adhering to the risk management framework.

How do we manage risk

• Education - board, management, staff • Risk Appetite Statement • Business strategies • Risk identification and analysis • Treatment of risks • Strategic alignment • Controls

Guiding Principles of Risk Management

• Creates value – risks and opportunities – opportunities have risk. • Is an integral part of all organization processes – it’s everyone’s responsibility. • Is part of decision-making – every decision should be tested to your Risk Appetite

Statement and ERM. • Explicitly addresses uncertainty – anticipate and prepare. • Is systematic, structured and timely – part of the whole planning and management cycle,

all year long, every year. • Is based on the best available information – update as things change. • Is tailored - suited to Horizon Credit Union’s needs. • Takes human and cultural factors into account - people manage risk. • Is transparent and inclusive – rationale is visible, decisions are supported. • Is dynamic, iterative and responsive to change – adjust as you go as things change and

as you learn more. • Facilitates continual improvement in the organization – if everyone understands your

risks, they will work to improve them. • Will be supported by and be the responsibility of everyone in the organization, beginning

with the Board and Senior Management. Horizon Credit Union’s Risks & Opportunities Below are the top risks and action plans of Horizon Credit Union for 2018:

• Liquidity Risk: The risk of our inability to sustain interest margin. Management’s action plan is to monitor competitors’ prime rates; monitor loan fees; improve operating efficiencies; focus on achieving growth without adding proportionate costs; ensure members understand the likely cost (i.e. slightly higher loan rates) of keeping locally controlled financial institutions in their community.

• Liquidity Risk: The risk that we are unable to maintain loan-to-asset ratio targets resulting in decreased profitability. Management’s action plan is to stimulate local lending by developing a local lending strategy focused on increasing organic growth; maintain and enhance relationships with like-minded credit unions and acquire loans as needed; work with existing partners while pursuing new leasing partners.

• Liquidity Risk: The risk that we are unable to create efficiencies and maintain non-interest service charge revenues. Management’s action plan is to continue to review back-office functions with like-minded credit unions with the objective of achieving efficiencies; review all goals/targets; annual service charge review; create a wealth management strategy and complete income/expense reviews (implement mitigating actions if actual expenses projected to exceed budget).

• Credit Risk: The risk of significant losses or concentration risk in the purchased syndicated loan portfolio. Management’s action plan is to closely monitor trends; potential impact of credit risk losses included in ICAAP provisions and ensure the Board has sufficient credit risk information to execute its oversight responsibilities.

• Strategic Risk: The risk if we do not meet our strategic objectives. Management’s action plan is to look at strategies to share the risk and have ongoing participation in collaboration discussions.

• Operational Risk: The risk of uneven distribution of workloads to managers/supervisorsdue to the significant number of projects and decreased staff complement increase therisk we lose key people within Horizon Credit Union. Management’s action plan is tomonitor trends very closely; identify opportunities to flow work down through HorizonCredit Union; continue to prioritize project work and address on an individual basis ascircumstances warrant.

Below is a risk to Horizon Credit Union added in 2018: • Operational Risk: The risk of exposure to information technology and cyber security

related risks. Management’s action plan is to continue to closely monitor events and provide ongoing staff and member education.

LOAN AND RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO

Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation introduced regulatory guidance relating to residential mortgage underwriting. The guideline reaffirms the need for credit unions to have a stress-testing regime that considers unlikely, but plausible, scenarios and their impact on the residential mortgage portfolio. Results of these stress tests should be considered in the Credit Union’s ICAAP. Credit union’s should reflect assets with inherently greater risk through risk-sensitive increases in capital identified through their ICAAP.

Lower loan to value on uninsured properties enables Horizon Credit Union to withstand significant decreases in residential property values. Decreases in residential property values are assumed to only trigger a theoretical financial risk for Horizon Credit Union if the holders were unable to make minimum payments and were forced to sell or defaulted.

Horizon Credit Union uses a 30% decrease in the fair value of underlying properties and the loan to value of the uninsured portfolio is estimated to be <70%. These calculations outlined support that the Credit Union would be able to withstand a 30% decrease in residential mortgage values; assuming it had to take over ownership of the properties as the calculated residual value of the properties would still exceed book value.

This is, however, material exposure by product type, demographic characteristic or associated groups/individuals. We do have limited geographic exposure given our 5 branches in east central Saskatchewan and therefore use syndications to diversify our portfolio as well as manage concentration limits. We continue to manage on the assumption that a dramatic downturn in any industry could impact earnings/capital of the loans portfolio.

At year-end, our $175,074,975.00 loans portfolio was comprised of 11.8% of insured residential mortgages and 15.18% of uninsured residential mortgages. Our portfolio also consists of $1,705,996.50 of approved home equity lines-of-credit or 0.97% of our total loan portfolio. In line with the draft Residential Mortgage Underwriting Guideline, the Credit Union will continue to review its mortgage underwriting practices/documentation to ensure it meets the guideline standards. Horizon Credit Union does not believe it has undue risk in its uninsured mortgage portfolio or underwriting practices and that current risk-weighted, asset-based concentration provision in the ICAAP sufficiently address risk in the residential portfolio.
