BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT

Heidi Schofer, President On behalf of the Board of Directors On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present to the Members the 2019 Annual Report. The success of this past year is reflected in our success with the 2019 performance measures. Horizon Credit Union achieved a 100% rating for the strategic objectives this past year. This is no small accomplishment, particularly given the substantial transitions of the last year. Larry Yeadon had his first full year as CEO. He has successfully guided Horizon Credit Union through all the substantial changes we announced last year, while adeptly managing his own transition to CEO. These transitions - a new strategic plan, CEO and staff culture - had minimal impact to the Members of Horizon Credit Union. This much change could have resulted in a much more muted performance. The Executive and Staff worked incredibly hard to ensure our Members are first and foremost, with little impact during this year of change. It is our belief that we can elevate our organization and keep the Members First that made the transitions as smooth as possible. Transition and change are actions that should be ongoing and evolving. As such, Horizon Credit Union announced the exploration of a potential merger with our neighbours - Cornerstone and Plainsview Credit Unions. Discussions with Plainsview and Cornerstone began with Horizon’s strong belief in the Co-operative Principle of Co-operatives working together. The talks evolved into a discussion of how can we help each other serve our Members to the best of our ability. Today, it has led to a deep analysis of can we be Better Together. Our Vision of Financial Wellness: Today, Tomorrow, Together continues to serve as the principle by which we look to the future for Horizon Credit Union. In discussions with Cornerstone and Plainsview, it became extremely clear that the three Credit Unions were aligned, strategically and practically. Working together was the clear option, for all the Members to be a part of a credit union that would be competitive in the marketplace, provide great advice and support our communities. The Directors encourage the Members to explore and follow our merger talks at Better Together In Saskatchewan by using the link on our website page. Horizon Credit Union will have a busy 2020 as we continue to establish our financial well-being and work through the merger due diligence. We will use our Mission and Values as the foundation in our decision making in the year ahead - which will be a journey that is Members First.

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, 2019 Horizon Credit Union had 5077 members and 1267 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 Vision is: “Financial Wellness: 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 2019 were: Members, Staff, Community and Financial. These documents are regularly measured and monitored to achieve our goals and targets. To do this, a Scorecard Accountability Report is used.

RESULTS

Balance Sheet Horizon Credit Union balance sheet for on book assets increased by $11,150,829 or 5.07% in 2019. On book assets at December 31, 2019 were $231,249,619. Our credit union had budgeted 3.14% growth in this area and ended with 5.07%. Member deposit balances increased by $10,512,709 or 5.21%. Member deposits at December 31, 2019 were $212,472,094. Our credit union had budgeted 3.01% growth in this area and ended with 5.21%. 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 $9,010,097 or 5.15% in 2019. Loans as a percentage of assets at December 31, 2019 now sit at 79.60%. 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, 2019 our total loan book sat at $184,085,072. Our budget for loan growth in 2019 was 3.39% and we ended the year at 5.15%.

Operating Statement 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 2019 interest margin is $5,741,648 or 2.48% of assets. The 2018 interest margin was $5,598,207 or 2.54% 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 2020. 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, 2019 were at $5,141,783 or 2.22% of assets. At the end of December 31, 2018 operating expenses were $5,450,428 or 2.47% of assets. At 2019 year end, Horizon Credit Union operating costs were under budget by $517,334.

Net earnings for 2019 were $1,184,349 down from the previous year which net earnings were $1,396,294. At 2019 year-end our retained earnings grew by $1,184,349 and our total equity was $18,049,100 or 7.81% 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.

2019 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, 2019 Horizon Credit Union’s common equity tier 1 to risk-weighted assets is 12.47% and total tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 12.47%. Horizon Credit Union’s total eligible capital to risk-weighted assets for 2019 is 13.01%. 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, 2019 is 7.96%. This is an increase compared to 7.84% in 2018. 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, 2019, 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 79.60%. 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 unions for liquidity purposes. Horizon Credit Union also has the ability to syn-dicate 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. Horizon Credit Union will maintain a LCR ratio that is sufficiently higher than regulatory minimums to ensure there is surplus daily operating liquidity to meet members’ needs and daily cash outflow obligations. Horizon Credit Union’s LCR ratio as of December 31, 2019 is 650.08%. 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 2019.

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 2020:

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 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 utilize alternative Hiring Committee to analyze vacant positions in the organization; 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.

Organizational Risk: Risk of exposure to IT/cyber security related risks. We continue to closely monitor events, have ongoing staff and member education including building a cyber security plan.

Operational Risk: The risk of uneven distribution of workloads to managers/supervisors due to the significant number of projects and decreased staff complement increase the risk we lose key people within Horizon Credit Union. Management’s action plan is to monitor trends very closely; identify opportunities to flow work down through Horizon Credit Union; continue to prioritize project work and address on an individual basis as circumstances warrant; collaborate with other credit unions to share/leverage resources (where possible).

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 unions 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 $184,085,072 million-dollar loans portfolio was comprised of 10.47% insured residential mortgages and 25.77% of uninsured residential mortgages. Our portfolio also consists of $1,828,996.50 of approved home equity lines-of-credit or 0.99% 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 under-writing practices and that current risk-weighted, asset-based concentration provision in the ICAAP sufficiently address risk in the residential portfolio.

BetterTogetherN S A S K A T C H E W A N

The three credit unions are exploring a merger to create a single entity that can provide better services and advice to members. The proposed merger

will increase efficiencies allowing us to reinvest in our people and strengthen our offering. It will also help us mitigate the risks that are

present in today’s competitive operating environment.

The shared future vision is a credit union that is com-petitive in the changing marketplace, provides great advice to our members, and is known for supporting

our communities. We are looking to strengthen our credit union by partnering with other strong credit unions to gain added expertise, obtain operating efficiencies and

expanded offerings with improved technology.

The ultimate goal is to create a stronger credit union to benefit all our stakeholders.

The final approval will be a vote by members of each participating credit union to approve a resolution as recommended by their Board of Directors. It is expected this process will continue throughout 2020. If approved, the

new credit union would be launched in January 2021.

CREDIT UNION DEPOSIT GUARANTEE CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT MESSAGE 2019

January 2020

________________________________________________________________________________________

Deposits Fully Guaranteed Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (the Corporation) is the deposit guarantor for Saskatchewan credit unions, and the primary regulator for credit unions and Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan (SaskCentral). Together, these entities are considered Provincially Regulated Financial Institutions or “PRFIs”. The Corporation is mandated through provincial legislation, The Credit Union Act, 1998 and The Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan Act, 2016 in performing its duties. Provincial legislation also assigns responsibility for oversight of the Corporation to the Registrar of Credit Unions at the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan.
