Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Relevant standards that were recently issued but not yet adopted as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020:

2023:

In March 2020,2023, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform2023-02, Investments–Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 848). This update addresses optional expedients and exceptions323): Accounting for applying GAAP to certain contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The new guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that referenceInvestments in Tax Credit Structures Using the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. For public and nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022. The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012 and has elected to defer the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until the nonpublic company effective dates. As such, the Company will adopt this standard on the nonpublic company effective date and is currently in the process of reviewing its contracts and existing processes in order to assess the risks and potential impact of the transition away from LIBOR.

In June 2016, FASB issued Proportional Amortization Method (“ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and relevant amendments (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”2023-02”). This update was createdpermits reporting entities to replaceelect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the current GAAPtax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if the following conditions are met:

1.It is probable that the income tax credits allocable to the tax equity investor will be available.
2.The tax equity investor does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of calculating credit losses Specifically, the standard replacesunderlying project.
3.Substantially all of the existing incurred loss impairment guidance by requiring immediate recognition of expected credit losses. For financial assets carried at amortized cost thatprojected benefits are held at the reporting date (including tradefrom income tax credits and other receivables, loans and commitments, held-to-maturity debt securitiesincome tax benefits. Projected benefits include income tax credits, other income tax benefits, and other financial assets). Credit lossesnon-income-tax-related benefits. The projected benefits are measureddetermined on a discounted basis, using a discount rate that is consistent with the cash flow assumptions used by the tax equity investor in making its decision to invest in the project.
4.The tax equity investor’s projected yield based solely on historical experience, current conditionsthe cash flows from the income tax credits and reasonable supportable forecasts. other income tax benefits is positive.
5.The standard also amendstax equity investor is a limited liability investor in the limited liability entity for both legal and tax purposes, and the tax equity investor’s liability is limited to its capital investment.
Under existing impairment guidanceaccounting standards, the proportional amortization method is allowable only for available for sale securities,equity investments in whichlow-income-housing tax credit losses will be recorded asstructures. Under the proportional amortization method, an allowance versus a write-downentity amortizes the initial cost of the amortized cost basis ofinvestment in proportion to the security. It will also allow for a reversal of impairment loss whenincome tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognizes the credit of the issuer improves. The guidance requires a cumulative effect of the initial application to be recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The amendments in Update No. 2018-19 was intended to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This update requires entities to include expected recoveries of the amortized cost basis previously written off or expected to be written offnet amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits in the valuationincome statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Updates made by ASU 2023-02 allow a reporting entity to make an accounting policy election to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis. The Company had previously made an accounting policy election to account for purchased financial assets withits investments in low-income-housing tax credit deterioration. In addition,investments using the proportional amortization method. This election was made upon the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-01, Investments–Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, which introduced the option to apply proportional amortization to low-income-housing tax credit investments. For public business entities, the amendments in this update clarify and improve various aspects of the guidance for ASU 2016-13.

For public entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer (excluding smaller reporting entities) the guidance is2023-02 are effective for annual reporting periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities asin an interim period. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements–Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements for a variety of topics in the codification. Certain amendments represent

clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. The following is a summary of the topics included in the update and which pertain to the Company:
1.Statement of cash flows (Topic 230): Requires an accounting policy disclosure in annual periods of where cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and loses are presented in the statement of cash flows;
2.Accounting changes and error corrections (Topic 250): Requires that when there has been a change in the reporting entity, the entity disclose any material prior-period adjustment and the effect of the adjustment on retained earnings in interim financial statements;
3.Earnings per share (Topic 260): Requires disclosure of the methods used in the diluted earnings-per-share computation for each dilutive security and clarifies that certain disclosures should be made during interim periods, and amends illustrative guidance to illustrate disclosure of the methods used in the diluted earnings per share computation;
4.Commitments (Topic 440): Requires disclosure of assets mortgaged, pledged, or otherwise subject to lien and the obligations collateralized; and
5.Debt (Topic 470): Requires disclosure of amounts and terms of unused lines of credit and unfunded commitments and the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding short-term borrowings.
For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2023-06 are effective on the date which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation and S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the codification and will not become effective for any entity. Early adoption is not permitted and the amendments are required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Relevant standards that were adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This update modifies how an acquiring entity measures contract assets and contract liabilities of an acquiree in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update require the acquiring entity in a business combination to account for revenue contracts as if they had originated the contract and assess how the acquiree accounted for the contract under Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 improves comparability of recognition and measurement of revenue contracts with customers both before and after a business combination. For public business entities, the amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.2022. For all other entities, the guidance isamendments are effective for annual reporting periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310-40 and amends the guidance on vintage disclosures, referenced in ASC 326-20-50, to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. This update supersedes the existing accounting guidance for TDRs in ASC 310-40 in its entirety and requires entities to evaluate all receivable modifications under existing accounting guidance in ASC 310-20 to determine whether a modification made to a borrower results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. In addition to the elimination of TDR accounting guidance, entities that adopt this update will no longer consider renewals, modifications and extensions that result from reasonably expected TDRs in their calculation of the allowance for credit losses. Further, if an entity employs a discounted cash flow method to calculate the allowance for credit losses, it will be required to use a post-modification-derived effective interest rate as part of its calculation. This update also requires new disclosures for receivables for which there has been a modification in their contractual cash flows resulting from borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. For public business entities, the amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Entities may elect to apply the updated guidance on TDR recognition and measurement by using a modified retrospective transition method. The Company, which currently qualifies as an EGC, anticipates to early adopt this standard during the year endingamendments on December 31, 2021TDR disclosures and is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has been assessing the key differences and gaps between its current allowance methodology and model and those it is considering using upon adoption. The Company has contracted with a vendor and is currently assessing the adequacy of existing loss data and developing models for default and loss estimates. While currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this ASU, it is expected that the impact of adoption willvintage disclosures should be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

Relevant standards that were adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020:

In accordance with the nonpublic company requirements,prospectively. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 606this standard by using the modified retrospective transition method, except with regard to amendments on TDR and vintage disclosures which were adopted prospectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. In completing its assessment of the Company’s revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606, the Company did not identify any revenue sources for which the timing of recognition needed to change under the new standard.2023. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its currentConsolidated Financial Statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Table of Contents

The adoption of ASU 2022-02 resulted in changes in the Company’s accounting policies and practices, orestimates as it relates to loans receivable and the timing or amountallowance for loan losses. The following describes the changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from December 31, 2022, that resulted from the adoption of revenue recognized. AsASU 2022-02:
Allowance for Loan Losses - Loans Held for Investment
Modifications of Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Thus, as a result no adjustment has been made to retained earnings. Additionally, the Company evaluated and made necessary changes, where appropriate, to business processes, systems, and internal controls in order to support the recognition, measurement, and disclosure requirements of the new standard. The Company also considered the impact of ASC 606 subtopic ASC 340-40. Under ASC 340-40, the Company is required to capitalize and amortize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, over the period of benefit. The Company does not pay sales commissions and has not identified any other incremental cost to obtain a contract, therefore ASC 340-40 had no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 (“ASU 2018-01”); ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”); ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”); and ASU 2018-20 Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors (“ASU 2018-20”). ASU 2018-01 permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. ASU 2018-10 was issued to clarify the Codification or to correct unintended application of guidance within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows for an optional transition method in which the provisions of Topic 842 would be applied upon the adoption date and would not have to be retroactively applied to the earliest reporting period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Lastly, ASU 2018-20 provided narrow-scope improvements for lessors, which was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. ASU 2016-02 and the several additional amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as ASC 842.

ASC 842 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and requires all leases with a term longer than 12 months to be reported on the balance sheet through recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability for future lease obligations. Leases will be classified as financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and grouping of expenses in the income statement. The standard also requires extensive disclosures for assets, expenses, and cash flows associated with leases, as well as a maturity analysis of lease liabilities. In November 2019, FASB issued guidance delaying the effective date for all entities except for public business entities that are SEC filers. For public business entities the guidance is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, for all other entities the guidance is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, early adoption is permitted for all entities.

The Company early adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. In accordance with ASU 2018-11,2023, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, the Company usednow applies the effective date asloan refinancing and restructuring guidance codified in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 of the dateAccounting Standards Codification to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of applicationan existing loan.

Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extensions, other-than-insignificant payment delays and therefore, periods priorcombinations thereof. Expected losses or recoveries related to January 1, 2020,loans where modifications have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty have been included in the Company’s determination of the allowance for loan losses. Upon adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company is no longer required to use a discounted cash flow method to measure the allowance for loan losses resulting from a modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. Accordingly, the Company now applies the same credit methodology it uses for similar loans that were not restated. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permitsmodified. As previously indicated, the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification,adopted ASU 2022-02 using the modified retrospective transition method. Accordingly, upon adoption, commercial loan TDRs existing at that time which were measured using a discounted cash flow methodology and initial direct costs under ASC 842. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient and, therefore, used the hindsight knowledge as of the effective date when determining lease terms and impairment. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and, therefore, accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The new standard also provides a practical expedient for an entity’s ongoing accounting relating to leases of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”). The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify and will not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use asset and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet for itsresidential real estate and equipment operating leasesconsumer home equity loan TDRs were transitioned to the applicable segment of $92.9 million and $96.4 million, respectively. The Company recordedloans collectively evaluated for impairment based upon their risk characteristics. Commercial loan TDRs determined to be collateral dependent continue to be assessed for impairment on an adjustmentindividual basis.
Prior to remove the Company’s existing deferred rent liabilityadoption of approximately $3.5 million. TheASU 2022-02, in cases where a borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and the Company also recognizedmade certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan was classified as a transition adjustmentTDR. Modifications included adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, consumer loans where the borrower’s obligations had been effectively discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the borrower had not reaffirmed the debt to the opening balanceCompany, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of retained earningscollateral. Management identified loans as TDR loans when it had a reasonable expectation that it would execute a TDR modification with a borrower. In addition, management estimated expected credit losses on January 1, 2020 amountinga collective basis if a group of TDR loans shared similar risk characteristics. If a TDR loan’s risk characteristics were not similar to $1.1 million, netthose of tax, related to an incremental accrued rent adjustment calculated as a resultany of electing the hindsight practical expedient.Company’s other TDR loans, expected credit losses on the TDR loan were measured individually. The amount of right-of-use assets were determined based uponimpairment analysis discounted the present value of the remaining minimal rental payments under current leasing standardsanticipated cash flows by the loan’s contractual rate of interest in effect prior to the loan’s modification or the fair value of collateral if the loan was collateral dependent. The amount of credit loss, if any, was recorded as a specific loss allocation to each individual loan or as a loss allocation to the pool of loans, for existing operating leases, adjustedthose loans for optionswhich credit loss was measured on a collective basis, in the allowance for credit losses. Any commercial (commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, and business banking loans) or residential loan that had been classified as a TDR and which subsequently defaulted was reviewed to determine if the Company is reasonably certainloan should be deemed collateral-dependent. In such an instance, any shortfall between the value of the collateral and the book value of the loan was determined by measuring the recorded investment in the loan against the fair value of the collateral less costs to exercise, less accrued rentsell.
Refer to Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” for additional information regarding the Company’s measurement of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2023 and information regarding the Company’s TDR loans as of December 31, 20192022 and for the incremental accrued rent as a result of electing the hindsight practical expedient. Lastly, the amount of lease liabilities was determined based upon the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases, adjusted for options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This update modifies the disclosure requirements related to the fair value measurements in Topic 820. Specifically, this update amends disclosure around changes in unrealized gainsthree and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and the description of measurement uncertainty. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. This update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2018-16”). This update permits the use of the Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or re-structured hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. This update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

Trading Securities

The Company had trading securities of $0 and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The reduction in the Company’s trading portfolio was due to the Company’s exit of its capital markets business during the year ended December 31, 2019.

As a result, the Company did not recognize an ACL on these investments as of either September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The causes of the impairments listed in the tables above by category are as follows as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
Government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Agency bonds and U.S. Treasury securities – The securities with unrealized losses in these portfolios have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Additionally, these securities are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies.
State and municipal bonds and obligations – The securities with unrealized losses in this portfolio have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality.
Other debt securities – As of December 31, 2022, there were two securities included in this portfolio in an unrealized loss position which consisted of two foreign debt securities. Both securities were performing in

Management prepares an estimate of the expected cash flows for investment securities available for sale that potentially may be deemedadditional funding to eligible depository institutions in order to help assure banks have OTTI. This estimate begins with the contractual cash flows of the security. This amount is then reduced by an estimate of probable credit losses associated with the security. When estimating the extent of probable losses on the securities, management considers the credit quality and the ability to paymeet the needs of their depositors. The Program offers loans up to one year in length to banks in return for any collateral eligible for purchase by the underlying issuers. IndicatorsFederal Reserve Banks in open market operations, such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency securities, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. As of diminished credit qualitySeptember 30, 2023, securities with a carrying value of $2.5 billion were pledged as collateral through the issuers include defaults, interest deferrals, or “payments in kind.” Management also considers those factors listed inProgram. In addition, the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities topicCompany pledged securities with a carrying value of the FASB ASC when estimating the ultimate realizability of the cash flows for each individual security.

The resulting estimate of cash flows after considering credit is then subject to a present value computation using a discount rate equal$370.3 million to the current yield usedFederal Reserve Discount Window (the “Discount Window”) as of September 30, 2023. No securities were pledged to accrete the beneficial interestProgram or the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition. If the present value of the estimated cash flows is less than the current amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred and the security is written down to the fair value indicated by the cash flow analysis. As part of the analysis, management considers whether it intends to sell the security or whether it is more than likely that it would be required to sell the security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis.

The Company does not intend to sell these investments and has determined based upon available evidence that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell each security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis. As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTTI. The Company made this determination by reviewing various qualitative and quantitative factors regarding each investment category, such as current market conditions, extent and nature of changes in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, and volatility of earnings.

As a result of the Company’s review of these qualitative and quantitative factors, the causes of the impairments listed in the tables above by category are as follows as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities - The securities with unrealized losses in this portfolio have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The security at a loss position as of December 31, 2019 was subsequently in a gain position as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, these securities are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government or one of its agencies.

State and municipal bonds and obligations - The securities with unrealized losses in this portfolio as of December 31, 2019 have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities as of December 31, 2019 is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. These securities were subsequently in a gain position as of June 30, 2020. These bonds are investment grade and are rated AA Standard and Poor’s.

Portfolio Segmentation

Table of Contents

Management uses a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of loss incurredexpected losses in each segment of loans in the Company’s portfolio. Commercial and industrial business banking, investment commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial commercial construction and business banking loans are evaluated using a loan rating system,based upon loan-level risk characteristics, historical losses and other factors which form the basis for estimating incurredexpected losses. Portfolios of more homogeneous populations of loans,Other portfolios, including owner occupied commercial real estate (which includes business banking owner occupied commercial real estate), commercial construction, residential mortgages, home equity and consumer loans, are analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency ratios, and the Company’s and peer banks’ historical loss experience and charge-offs.experience. For the purposepurposes of estimating the allowance for loan losses, management segregates the loan portfolio into the categories noted in the above tables. Each of these loan categories possess uniquethat share similar risk characteristics such as the purpose of the loan, repayment source, and collateral. These characteristics are considered when determining the appropriate level of the allowance for each category. Some examples of these risk characteristics unique to each loan category include:

Commercial Lending

Commercial and industrial: The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at origination. Collateral frequently consists of a first lien position on business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, airplanesaircraft and equipment. The primary repayment source is operating cash flow and, secondarily, the liquidation of assets. TheUnder its lending guidelines, the Company often obtainsgenerally requires a corporate or personal guaranteesguarantee from individuals holdingthat hold material ownership in the borrowing entity.

entity when the loan-to-value of a commercial and industrial loan is in excess of a specified threshold.

Commercial real estate: Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. Primary repayment sources include operating income generated by the real estate, permanent debt refinancing, sale of the real estate and, secondarily, by liquidation of the collateral. TheUnder its lending guidelines, the Company often obtainsgenerally requires a corporate or personal guaranteesguarantee from individuals holdingthat hold material ownership in the borrowing equity.

entity when the loan-to-value of a commercial real estate loan is in excess of a specified threshold.

Commercial construction: These loans are generally considered to present a higher degree of risk than other real estate loans and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as adverse changes in interest rates and the borrower’s ability to control costs and adhere to time schedules. Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Construction loan repayment is substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to complete the project and obtain permanent financing.

Business banking: These loans are typically secured by all business assets or commercial real estate. Business banking originations include traditionally underwritten loans as well as partially automated scored loans. Business banking scored loans are determined by utilizing the Company’s proprietary decision matrix that has a number of quantitative factors including, but not limited to, a guarantor’s credit score, industry risk, and time in business. The Company also engages in Small Business Association (“SBA”) lending, both in the business banking and commercial banking divisions.lending. The SBA guarantees reduce the Company’s loss due to default and are considered a credit enhancement to the loan structure.

Residential Lending

Residential real estate:

These loans are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to repay principal and interest on a monthly basis. Underwriting considerations include, among others, income sources and their reliability, willingness to repay as evidenced by credit repayment history, financial resources (including cash reserves) and the value of the collateral. The Company maintains policy standards for minimum credit score and cash reserves and maximum loan to valueloan-to-value consistent with a “prime” portfolio. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family residential dwellings. The policy standards applied to loans originated by the Company are the same as those applied to purchased loans. The Company does not originate or purchase sub-prime or other high-risk loans. Residential loans are originated either for sale to investors or retained in the Company’s loan portfolio. Decisions about whether to sell or retain residential loans are made based on the interest rate characteristics, pricing for loans in the secondary mortgage market, competitive factors and the Company’s capital needs.

Consumer Lending

Consumer home equity: Home equity lines of credit are granted for ten years with monthly interest-only repayment requirements. Full principal repayment is required at the end of the ten-year draw period. Home equity loans are term loans that require the monthly payment of principal and interest such that the loan will be fully amortized at maturity. Underwriting considerations are materially consistent with those utilized in residential real estate. Collateral consists of a senior or subordinate lien on owner-occupied residential property.

24

Other consumer: The Company’s policy and underwriting in this category, which is comprised primarily of airplanehome improvement, automobile and automobileaircraft loans, include the following factors, among others: income sources and reliability, credit histories, term of repayment, and collateral value, as applicable. These are typically granted on an unsecured basis, with the exception of airplaneaircraft and automobile loans.

Credit Quality

Commercial Lending Credit Quality

The credit quality of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio is actively monitored and supported by a comprehensive credit approval process and all large dollar transactions are sent for approval to a committee of seasoned business line and credit professionals. The Company maintains an independent credit risk review function that reports directly to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. Credits that demonstrate significant deterioration in credit quality are transferred to a specialized group of experienced officers for individual attention.
The Company monitors credit quality indicators and utilizes portfolio scorecards to assess the risk of its commercial portfolio. Specifically, the Company utilizes a 12-point15-point credit risk-rating system to manage risk and identify potential problem loans. Risk-ratingUnder this point system, risk-rating assignments are based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors that are under continual review. Factors include cash flow, collateral coverage, liquidity, leverage, position within the industry, internal controls and management, financial reporting, and other considerations. Commercial loan risk ratings are (re)evaluated for each loan at least once-per-year. The risk-rating categories under the credit risk-rating system are defined as follows:

0 Risk Rating - Unrated

Certain segments of the portfolios are not rated. These segments include airplaneaircraft loans, business banking scored loan products, and other commercial loans managed by exception. Loans within this unrated loan segment are monitored by delinquency status; and for lines of credit greater than $100,000 in exposure, an annual review is conducted.conducted which includes the review of the business score and loan and deposit account performance. The Company supplements performance data with current business credit scores for the business banking portfolio on a quarterly basis. Unrated loans managed outside of airplane loanscommercial and business banking loans are generally restricted to commercial exposure of less than $1 million with a line of credit component restricted

to $350,000.$1.5 million. Loans included in this category have qualification requirements that include risk rating of 6Wgenerally are not required to provide regular financial reporting or better at time of recommendation for unrated status, acceptable management of deposit accounts, and no known negative changes in management, operations or financial performance. Restricted from this category are lines of credit managed with borrowing base requirements.

regular covenant monitoring.

For purposes of estimating the allowance for loan losses, unrated loans are considered in the same manner as pass“Pass” rated loans.

1-6W Unrated loans are included with “Pass” rated loans for disclosure purposes.

1-10 Risk Rating – Pass

Loans with a risk-ratingrisk rating of 1-6W1-10 are classified as “Pass” and are comprised of loans that range from “substantially risk free” which indicates borrowers of unquestioned credit standing, well-established national companies with a very strong financial condition, and loans fully secured by policy conforming cash levels, through “acceptable risk”“low pass” which indicates acceptable rated loans that may be experiencing weak cash flow, impending lease rollover or minor liquidity concerns. The top end of the risk-rating category (6W) includes loans that, although contain the same risk-rating as those with a rating of 6, are being more closely monitored to determine if a downgrade is necessary.

7

11 Risk Rating – Special Mention (Potential Weakness)

Loans to borrowers in this category exhibit potential weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. While potentially weak, no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. Included in this category are borrowers who are performing as agreed, are weak when compared to industry standards, may be experiencing an interim loss and may be in declining industries. An element of asset quality, financial flexibility or management is below average. Management and owners may have limited depth, particularly when operating under strained circumstances. The Company does not consider borrowers within this category as new business prospects. Borrowers rated special mention may find it difficult to obtain alternative financing from traditional bank sources.

8

12 Risk Rating – Substandard (Well-Defined Weakness)

Loans with a risk-rating of 812 exhibit well-defined weaknesses that, if not corrected, may jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. A loan is classified as substandard if it is inadequately protected by the repayment capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged. Specifically, repayment under market rates and terms, or by the requirements under the existing loan documents, is in jeopardy, but no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. There is a possibility that a partial loss of principal and/or interest will occur in the future if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate portfolio of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard. Credits in this category often may have reported a loss in the most recent fiscal year end and are likely to continue to report losses in the interim period, or interim losses are expected to result in a fiscal year-end loss. NonaccrualNon-accrual is possible, but not mandatory, in this class.

9

25

13 Risk Rating – Doubtful (Loss Probably)

Probable)

Loans classified as doubtful have comparable weaknesses as found in the loans classified as substandard, with the added provision that such weaknesses make collection of the debt in full (based on currently existing facts, conditions and values) highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist such that a partial loss of principal is likely. The probability of loss exceeds 50%, however,exists, but because of reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the credit, estimated losses are deferred until a more exact status can be determined. Pending factors may include the sale of the company, a merger, capital injection, new profitable purchase orders, and refinancing plans. Specific reserves will be the amount identified after specific review. NonaccrualNon-accrual is mandatory in this class.

10

14 Risk Rating – Loss

Loans to borrowers in this category are deemed incapable of repayment. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectableuncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loans have no recovery or salvage value, but rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets even though partial recovery may occur in the future. Loans in this category have a recorded investment of $0 at the time of the downgrade.

The credit quality of the commercial loan portfolio is actively monitored and supported by a comprehensive credit approval process; and all large dollar transactions are sent for approval to a committee of seasoned business line and credit professionals. Risk ratings are periodically reviewed and the Company maintains an independent credit risk review function that reports directly to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. Credits that demonstrate significant deterioration in credit quality are transferred to a specialized group of seasoned workout officers for individual attention.

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans are included within the unrated category of the commercial and industrial and business banking portfolios in the table above. Commercial and industrial and business banking PPP loans amounted to $633.0 million and $467.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2020. The Company does not have an allowance for loan losses for PPP loans as they are 100% guaranteed by the SBA.

Residential and Consumer Lending Credit Quality

For the Company’s residential and consumer portfolios, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. Updated appraisals, broker opinions of value and other collateral valuation methods are employed in the residential and consumer portfolios, typically for credits that are deteriorating. Delinquency status is determined using payment performance, while accrual status may be determined using a combination of payment performance, expected borrower viability and collateral value. Delinquent consumer loans are handled by a team of seasoned collection specialists.

Table of Contents

The Company manages its loan portfolio with careful monitoring. As a general rule, loans more than 90 days past due with respect to principal and interest are classified as nonaccrualnon-accrual loans. Exceptions may be made if management believes that collateral held by the Company is clearly sufficient and in full satisfaction of both principal and interest, or the loan is accounted for as a PCI loan. Therefore, as permitted by banking regulations, certain consumer loans past due 90 days or more may continue to accrue interest. The Company may also use discretion regarding other loans over 90 days delinquent if the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. NonaccrualNon-accrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest are considered nonperformingnon-performing loans.

NonaccrualNon-accrual loans may be returned to an accrual status when principal and interest payments are no longer delinquent, and the risk characteristics of the loan have improved to the extent that there no longer exists a concern as to the collectability of principal and interest. Loans are considered past due based upon the number of days delinquent according to their contractual terms. Specifically, nonaccrual residential loans that have been restructured must perform for a period of six months before being considered for accrual status.

A loan is expected to remain on nonaccrualnon-accrual status until it becomes current with respect to principal and interest, the loan is liquidated, or the loan is determined to be uncollectible and is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

The following is a summary pertaining to the breakdown of the Company’s nonaccrual loans:

The objective is to aid in the resolution of nonperformingprocess through which management identified loans by modifying the contractual obligation to avoid the possibility of foreclosure.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 there were no charge-offs on TDR loans modified in the prior 12 months.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans consist of all loans for which management has determined it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

The Company measures impairment of loans using a discounted cash flow method, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company has defined the population of impaired loans to include certain nonaccrual loans, TDR loans and residential and home equity loans that have been partially charged off.

The following table summarizes the Company’s impaired loans by loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount of the loans, referred to as the “accretable yield,” is accreted into interest income over the life of the loans using the effective yield method. The following summarizes activity in the accretable yield for the PCI loan portfolio:

The estimate of cash flows expected to be collected is regularly re-assessed subsequent to acquisition. A decrease in expected cash flows in subsequent periods may indicate that the loan is impaired which would require the establishment of an allowance for loan losses by a charge to the provision for loan losses. An increase in expected cash flows in subsequent periods serves, first, to reduce any previously established allowance for loan losses by the increase in the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, and results in a recalculation of the amount of accretable yield for the loan. The adjustment of accretable yield due to an increase in expected cash flows is accounted for as a change in estimate. The additional cash flows expected to be collected are reclassified from the nonaccretable difference to the accretable yield, and the amount of periodic accretion is adjusted accordingly over the remaining life of the loans.

Loan Participations

The Company occasionally purchases commercial loan participations.participations or participates in syndications through the SNC Program. These loan participations meet the same underwriting, credit and portfolio management standards as the Company’s other loans and are applied against the same criteria to determine the allowance for loan losses as other loans. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held commercial loan participation interests totaling $1.1 billion and $965.1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s loan participations:

(1)Management performs an assessment of the remaining useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets on a quarterly basis to determine if such lives remain appropriate. As a result of the assessment performed during the second quarter of 2023, management reduced the remaining useful life of its core deposit intangible to five years which resulted in an increase in quarterly amortization expense. The effect of the increase on annual amortization expense was not material.
The Company quantitatively assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or sooner if an event occurs or circumstances change which might indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. The Company consideredhas identified and assigned goodwill to two reporting units - the current economic conditions including the potential impactbanking business and insurance agency business. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemicdecision to sell the insurance agency business, the assets and liabilities of the insurance agency segment were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023 and, accordingly, are presented as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2023, an impairment assessment was performed as it pertainsrelates to goodwill and other intangible assets of the insurance agency business reporting unit whereby the agreed upon sales price was compared to the net assets included in the disposal group. As the sales price exceeded the net assets of the disposal group, management concluded the goodwill above and intangible assets of the insurance agency business were not impaired as of September 30, 2023.
In accordance with the accounting guidance codified in ASC 350-20, the Company performs a test of goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis. An assessment is also required to be performed to the extent relevant events and/or circumstances occur which may indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The failure of several banks in early 2023 led to economic uncertainty and an increase in volatility in the capital markets, particularly in the banking industry. Accordingly, the Company performed a qualitative assessment as of March 31, 2023 which included an assessment of current industry conditions and the impacts of those conditions on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As a result of that assessment, the Company determined it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of goodwill was greater than the fair value as of March 31, 2023. Therefore, a quantitative goodwill impairment test was not considered necessary at that time.
During the second quarter of 2023, as the economic uncertainty impacting the banking industry persisted, the Company exercised the option afforded by ASC 350-20 and bypassed the qualitative assessment, opting to perform the quantitative impairment assessment irrespective of qualitative factors. The assessment included a comparison of the banking business’ book value to the implied fair value using a pricing multiple of the Company’s tangible book value as well as a comparison of the banking business’ book value to its discounted cash flows. The assessment also included a market capitalization analysis. Based upon the assessment, it was determined there was no indicationimpairment of impairment related tothe Company’s goodwill as of June 30, 2020. Additionally,2023.

Similar to the assessment performed as of June 30, 2023, the assessment included a comparison of the banking business’ book value to the implied fair value using a pricing multiple of the Company’s tangible book value as well as a comparison of the banking business’ book value to its discounted cash flows. The assessment also included a market capitalization analysis. Based upon the assessment, it was determined there was no impairment charges duringof the year ended December 31, 2019.

Similarly, other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company also consideredManagement performed a review of the impact of COVID-19 as it pertains to theseCompany’s intangible assets as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 in response to the circumstances indicated above. Based upon those reviews, the Company concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying amount of the core deposit intangible may not be recoverable. Management had also previously performed an assessment as of December 31, 2022 and determined that there was no indication of impairment related to intangible assets.
7. Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)

Table of Contents

Basic EPS represents income/(loss) allocable to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other intangible assetscontracts to issue common shares (such as stock options) were exercised or converted into additional common shares that would then share in the earnings of June 30, 2020.

7. Income Taxes

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s tax provision and applicable tax ratesCompany. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income/(loss) allocable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods indicated:

8. Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Other Tax Credit Investments

The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) encourages banks to meet the credit needs of their communities for housing and other purposes, particularly in neighborhoods with low or moderate income. The Company has primarily invested in several separate Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) projects, also referred to as qualified affordable housing projects, which provide the Company with tax credits and operating loss tax benefits over a period of approximately 15 years. Typically, none of the original investment is expected to be repaid. The return on these investments is generally generated through tax credits and tax losses. TheIn addition to LIHTC projects, the Company invests in new market tax credit projects that qualify for CRA credits and eligible projects that qualify for renewable energy and historic tax credits.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $226.8 million and $131.3 million, respectively, in tax credit investments that were included in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
When permissible, the Company accounts for its investments in LIHTC projects using the proportional amortization method, under which it amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statementthat amortization as a component of income tax expense (benefit).expense. The Company’s maximum exposure to lossnet investment in its investments in qualified affordablethe housing projects is limited to its carrying value included in other assets.assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rabbi Trust Variable Interest Entities
The Company established rabbi trusts to meet its obligations under certain executive non-qualified retirement benefits and deferred compensation plans and to mitigate the expense volatility of the aforementioned retirement plans. The rabbi trusts are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”) as the equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit the trusts to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trusts as it has the power to direct the activities of the rabbi trusts that significantly affect the rabbi trusts’ economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the rabbi trusts that could potentially be significant to the rabbi trusts by virtue of its contingent call options on the rabbi trusts’ assets in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy. As the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, the Company consolidates the rabbi trust investments. In general, the rabbi trust investments and any earnings received thereon are accumulated, reinvested and used exclusively for trust purposes. These rabbi trust investments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, U.S. government agency obligations, equity securities, mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds, and are recorded at fair value in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are recorded in noninterest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

11. Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation Plan
On November 29, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved the Eastern Bankshares, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 26,146,141 shares of common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, any or all of which can be granted with performance-based vesting conditions.

The Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $16.2 million and $65.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to net income tax expense of $16.7 million and $43.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
The Company established a $17.4 million valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2023 against the capital loss carryforward deferred tax asset which resulted from the sale of securities for the amount of deferred tax asset management believed was not more-likely-than-not to be realized. The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the reversal of the remainder of the federal portion of the valuation allowance established in the first quarter of 2023. The amount reversed during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $14.6 million. As a result of the execution of the agreement to sell the Company’s insurance agency business in September 2023 and the determination of the resulting capital gain, management determined it to be more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize federal capital losses related to the securities sale. Consequently, the Company reversed the associated federal valuation allowance previously established as management had determined it was more-likely-than-not that the entirety of the federal deferred tax asset related to the loss on such securities sales would be realized. In addition, the Company recognized an income tax benefit associated with a change in management’s estimate of annual pre-tax loss for purposes of determining the Company’s income tax provision.
The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to pretax losses which largely resulted from losses on sales of available for sale securities in the first quarter of 2023. In addition, during the first quarter of 2023, the Company liquidated Market Street Securities Corporation (“MSSC”), a wholly owned subsidiary, and transferred all of MSSC’s assets to Eastern Bank. In connection with the liquidation and subsequent transfer of securities previously held by MSSC to Eastern Bank, the Company recognized an additional deferred income tax benefit of $23.7 million during the first quarter of 2023. This deferred income tax benefit resulted from a state tax rate change applied to the deferred tax asset related to the securities transferred to Eastern Bank.
13. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and forward commitments to sell loans, all of which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
43

Table of Contents

Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in each particular class of financial instruments.

Substantially all of the Company’s commitments to extend credit, which normally have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. For forward loan sale commitments, the contract or notional amount does not represent exposure to credit loss. The Company does not sell loans with recourse.

The Company has been named a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Financial Statements.

As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is required to maintain certain reserves of vault cash and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve temporarily eliminated reserve requirements and therefore there was no minimum reserve requirement as of June 30, 2020. The amount of this reserve requirement included in cash and cash equivalents was approximately $3.7 million on December 31, 2019.

14. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the Company’sits interest rate risk resulting from the differences in the amount, timing, and duration of known or expected cash receipts and known or expected cash payments. Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the business requirements of its customers (“customer-related positions”) and risk participation agreements entered into as financial guarantees of performance on customer-related interest rate swap derivatives. The Company also enters into residential mortgage loan commitments to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future and enters into forward sale commitments to sell such residential mortgage loans at specified prices and times in the future, both of which are considered derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not the instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty plus any initial margin collateral posted. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with those counterparties is remote.

The Company’s discounting methodology and interest calculation of cash margin uses the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, for U.S. dollar cleared interest rate swaps.

Interest Rate Positions

An interest rate swap is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a fixed rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps in which they payit pays floating and receivereceives fixed interest in order to manage its interest rate risk exposure to the variability in interest cash flows on certain floating-rate commercial loans. The Company hasSuch interest rate swaps thatinclude those which effectively convert the floating rate one-month LIBORSOFR or overnight indexed swap rate, or prime rate interest payments received on the commercial loans to a fixed rate and consequently reduce the Bank’sCompany’s exposure to variability in short-term interest rates. The Company also hasFor interest rate swaps that are based on overnight indexed swap rates. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and therefore changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects net

At such time, the associated gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income related to(“AOCI”) are reclassified immediately into earnings and any subsequent changes in the Company’sfair value of such derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
The following table presents the pre-tax impact of terminated cash flow hedges inon AOCI for the next 12 months as of June 30, 2020. This reclassification is due to the amortization of realized but unrecognized gains from the termination of interest rate swaps during the period ended June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized gain on terminated cash flow hedges is $30.6 million.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s exposure to CME and the fair value of interest rate swap derivatives which qualify as cash flow hedges that contain credit-risk related contingent features that are in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had posted initial-margin collateral in the form of cash and a U.S. Treasury Note, to CME for these derivatives amounting to $18.7 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The cash and U.S. Treasury Note were considered restricted assets and were included in cash and due from banks and in available for sale securities, respectively.

Customer-Related Positions

Interest rate swaps offered to commercial customers do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. These swaps allow the Company to retain variable rate commercial loans while allowing the commercial customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable-to-fixed rate interest rate swap. The Company believes that its exposure to commercial customer derivatives is limited to nonperformancenon-performance by either the customer or the dealer because these contracts are simultaneously matched at inception with an offsetting dealer transaction.

Table of Contents

Risk participation agreements are entered into as financial guarantees of performance on interest rate swap derivatives. The purchased (asset) or sold (liability) guarantee allow the Company to participate-out (fee paid) or participate-in (fee received) the risk associated with certain derivative positions executed with the borrower by the lead bank in a customer-related interest rate swap derivative.

Foreign exchange contracts consist of those offered to commercial customers and those entered into to hedge the Company’s foreign currency risk associated with a foreign-currency loan. Neither qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes. These commercial customer derivatives are offset with matching derivatives with correspondent-bank counterparties in order to minimize foreign exchange rate risk to the Company. Exposure with respect to these derivatives is largely limited to nonperformancenon-performance by either the customer or the other counterparty. Neither the Company nor the correspondent-bank counterparty are required to post collateral but each has established foreign-currency transaction limits to manage the exposure risk. The Company requires its customers to post collateral to minimize risk exposure.

The Company has agreements with its customer-related interest rate swap derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company also has agreements with certain of its customer-related interest rate swap derivative correspondent-bank counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

The Company’s exposure related to its customer-related interest rate swap derivativederivatives consists of exposure on cleared derivative transactions and exposure on non-cleared derivative transactions.

Cleared derivative transactions are with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, or CME, and exposure is settled to market daily, with additional credit exposure related to initial-margin collateral pledged to CME at trade execution.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives
The Company enters into residential mortgage loan commitments in connection with its consumer mortgage banking activities to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future. In addition, the Company enters into forward sale commitments to sell such residential mortgage loans at specified prices and times in the future. These commitments are short-term in nature and generally expire in 30 to 60 days. The residential mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale and the related forward sale commitments are considered derivative instruments under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings and included in other non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan origination commitments of $12.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and forward sale commitments of $8.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively. During both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company recorded net losses related to the change in fair value of commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans of less than $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company recorded net losses related to the change in fair value of commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value of both the Company’s mortgage banking derivative asset and liability as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $0.1 million. Mortgage banking derivative assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Residential mortgages sold are generally sold with servicing rights released. Mortgage banking derivatives do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.
15. Balance Sheet Offsetting

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with upstream financial institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts. However, the Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. The Company nets the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally

16. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company uses

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument isas the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are significant to the fair value measurement.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in
50

determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Company believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or from Level 2 to Level 3.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgements regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these financial instruments, which have original maturities of 90 days or less, their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value.

Trading

Securities

Trading securities consisted of fixed income municipal securities and were recorded at fair value. All fixed income securities were categorized as Level 2 as the valuations were estimated by a third-party pricing vendor using a valuation matrix with inputs including observable bond interest rate tables, recent transactions, and yield relationships.

Available for Sale Securities

Available for sale securities consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency bonds, U.S. government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal bonds, and others such as a qualified zone academy bond, and wereother debt securities. AFS securities are recorded at fair value.

The Company’s U.S. Treasury securities are traded on active markets and therefore these securities were classified as Level 1.

The fair value of otherU.S. Agency bonds were evaluated using relevant trade data, benchmark quotes and spreads obtained from publicly available trade data, and generated on a price, yield or spread basis as determined by the observed market data. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2 given the use of observable inputs.
The fair value of U.S. government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities waswere estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. TheseTherefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2.

Municipal2 given the use of observable inputs.

The fair value of state and municipal bonds were classifiedestimated using a valuation matrix with inputs including observable bond interest rate tables, recent transactions, and yield relationships. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2 forgiven the same reasons described for the trading municipal securities.

use of observable inputs.

The fair value of other debt securities, which were held at December 31, 2022 and had matured as of September 30, 2023, were estimated using a valuation technique for the qualified zone academymatrix with inputs including observable bond was a discounted cash flow methodology using market discount rates. The assumptions used included at least one significant model assumption or input that was unobservable,interest rate tables, recent transactions, and therefore, this security was classifiedyield relationships. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 3.

2 given the use of observable inputs.

Fair value was based on the value of one unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, or estimated transaction costs. The estimated fair value of the Company’s securities available for sale, by type, is disclosed in Note 3.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair

The fair value of loans held for sale, whose carrying amounts approximate fair value, was estimated using the anticipated market price based upon pricing indications provided by investor banks.

These assets were classified as Level 2 given the use of observable inputs.

51

Loans

The fair value of commercial construction, commercial and industrial lines of credit, and certain other consumer loans was estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

For commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, automobile, and consumer home equity loans, fair value was estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans held for sale, whose carrying amounts approximate fair value,
Loans are classified as Level 3 since the fair value was estimated by the anticipated market price based upon pricing indications provided by investor banks.

The fair value of PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA, approximates the carrying amount.

valuation methodology utilizes significant unobservable inputs. Loans that are deemed to be impairedcollateral-dependent, as described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included within the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, were recorded at the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent, or at a carrying value based upon expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s effective interest rate.

collateral.

FHLB Stock

The fair value of FHLB stock approximates the carrying amount based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

These assets were classified as Level 2.

Rabbi Trust Investments

Rabbi trust investments consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Governmentgovernment agency obligations, equity securities, mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds, and were recorded at fair value and included in other assets. The purpose of these rabbi trust investments is to fund certain executive non-qualified retirement benefits and deferred compensation.

The fair value of other U.S. government agency obligations was estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. These securities were categorized as Level 2.2 given the use of observable inputs. The equity securities, mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds were valued based on quoted prices from the market. The equities, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds traded in an active market were categorized as Level 1.1 as they were valued based upon quoted prices from the market. Mutual funds at net asset value amounted to $46.4$44.2 million at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and $16.2$38.9 million at December 31, 2019.2022. There were no redemption restrictions on these mutual funds at the end of any period presented.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The fair value of bank-owned life insurance was based upon quotations received from bank-owned life insurance dealers.

These assets were classified as Level 2 given the use of observable inputs.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, was equal to their carrying amount. The fair value of time deposits was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using current market interest rates.

Deposits were classified as Level 2 given the use of observable market inputs.

The fair value estimates of deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the wholesale market (core deposit intangibles).

Other Borrowed Funds

For other borrowed funds that mature in 90 days or less, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value. For borrowed funds that mature in more than 90 days, the fair value was based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered in the market.

FHLB Advances

The fair value of FHLB advances was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on instruments with similar remaining maturities.

FHLB advances were classified as Level 2.

Escrow Deposits of Borrowers

The fair value of escrow deposits of borrowers, which have no stated maturity, approximates the carrying amount.

Escrow deposits of borrowers were classified as Level 2.

Interest Rate Swap Collateral Funds
52

The fair value of interest rate swap collateral funds approximates the carrying amount. Interest rate swap collateral funds were classified as Level 2.
Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the interest rate swaps. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period of maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.volatility. In addition, for customer-related interest rate swaps, the analysis reflects a credit valuation adjustment to reflect the Company’s own nonperformancenon-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformancenon-performance risk in the fair value measurements. The majority of inputs used to value itsthe Company’s interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but the credit valuation adjustments associated with the interest rate swaps utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 2019,2022, the impact of the Level 3 inputs on the overall valuation of the interest rate swaps was deemed insignificant to the overall valuation. As a result, the interest rate swaps were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Risk Participations

The fair value of risk participations was determined based upon the total expected exposure of the derivative which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using market-based inputs and waswere therefore categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value also included a credit valuation adjustment which evaluates the credit risk of itsthe counterparties by considering factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparties, its net exposures, the remaining contractual life, as well as the amount of collateral securing the position. The change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts were based upon the remaining expiration period of the contracts and bid quotations received from foreign exchange contract dealers and were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage Derivatives

The carrying amountsfair value of mortgage derivatives is determined based upon current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, estimatedtherefore are classified as Level 2 within the fair valuesvalue hierarchy.

For the valuation of the other real estate owned and collateral-dependent impaired loans, the Company relies primarily on third-party valuation information from certified appraisers and values are generally based upon recent appraisals of the underlying collateral, brokers’ opinions based upon recent sales of comparable properties, estimated equipment auction or liquidation values, income capitalization, or a combination of income capitalization and comparable sales. Depending on the type of underlying collateral, valuations may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of these possible adjustments may vary.

17. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard under ASC 606 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.

Revenue recognition remained substantially unchanged following adoption of ASC 606 and, therefore, there were no material changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at or for the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of adopting the new guidance.

The Company derives a portion of its noninterest income from contracts with customers as such, revenuewithin the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from such arrangementsContracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods orand services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company measures revenue and timing of recognition by applying the following five steps:

1.

Identify the contract(s) with the customers

2.

Identify the performance obligations

3.

Determine the transaction price

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

5.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

1.Identify the contract(s) with the customers
2.Identify the performance obligations
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

The information presented within this Note excludes discontinued operations. Refer to Note 19, “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion regarding discontinued operations.

Performance obligations

The Company’s performance obligations are generally satisfied either at a point in time or over time, as services are rendered. Unsatisfied performance obligations at the report date are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Additional information related to each of the revenue streams is further noted below.

Insurance Commissions

The Company acts as an agent in offering property, casualty, and life and health insurance to both commercial and consumer customers though Eastern Insurance Group LLC. The Company earns a fixed commission on the sales of these products and services. The Company may also earn bonus commissions based upon meeting certain volume thresholds. In general, the Company recognizes commission revenues when earned based upon the effective date of the policy. For certain insurance products, the Company may also earn and recognize annual residual commissions commensurate with annual premiums being paid.

The Company also earns profit-sharing, or contingency revenues from the insurers with whom the Company places business. These profit-sharing revenues are performance bonuses from the insurers based upon certain performance metrics such as floors on written premiums, loss rates, and growth rates. Because the Company’s expectation of the ultimate profit-sharing revenue amounts to be earned can vary from period to period, the Company does not recognize this revenue until it has concluded that, based on all the facts and information available, it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.

Insurance commissions earned but not yet received amounted to $7.7 million as of June 30, 2020, and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2019, and were included in other assets.

Deposit Service Charges

The Company offers various deposit account products to its customers governed by specific deposit agreements applicable to either personal customers or business customers. These agreements identify the general conditions and obligations of both parties and include standard information regarding deposit account-related fees.

Deposit account services include providing access to deposit accounts as well as access to the various deposit transactional services of the Company. These transactional services are primarily those that are identified in the standard fee schedule, and include, but are not limited to, services such as overdraft protection, wire transfer, and check collection. The Company chargesmay charge monthly fixed service fees associated with the customer having access to the deposit account as well as separate fixed fees associated with and at the time specific transactions are entered into by the customer. As such, the Company considers that its performance obligations are fulfilled when customers are provided deposit account access or when the requested deposit transaction is completed.

Cash Management

Cash management services are a subset of the deposit service charges revenue stream. These services include automated clearing house, or ACH, transaction processing, positive pay, lockbox, and remote deposit services. These services are also governed by separate agreements entered into by the customer. The fee arrangement for these services is structured as a fixed fee per transaction which may be offset by earnings credits. An earnings credit is a discount that a customer receives based upon the investable balance in the applicable covered

deposit account(s) for a given month. Earnings credits are only good for the given month. That is, if cash management fees for a given month are less than the month’s earnings credit, the remainder of the credit does not carry over to the following month. Cash management fees are recognized as revenue in the month that the services are provided. Cash Managementmanagement fees earned but not yet received amounted to $0.8$1.7 million and $2.1 million as of both JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 20192022 and were included in other assets.

Debit Card Processing Fees

The Company provides debit cards to its customers which are authorized and settled through various card payment networks, and in exchange, the Company earns revenue as determined by each payment network’s interchange program. Regardless of the network that is utilized to authorize and settle the payment, the merchant that provides the product or service to the debit card holder is ultimately responsible for the interchange payment to the Company. Debit card processing fees are recognized as card transactions are settled within each network. Debit card processing fees earned but not yet received amounted to $0.3 million as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and were included in other assets.

Trust and Investment Advisory Fees

The Company offers investment management and trust services to individuals, institutions, small businesses and charitable institutions. Each investment management product is governed by its own contract along with a separate identifiable fee schedule unique to that product. The Company also offers additional services, such as estate settlement, financial planning, tax services, and other special services quoted at the customer’s request.

The asset management and/or custody fees are primarily based upon a percentage of the monthly valuation of the principal assets in the customer’s account. Customers are also charged a base fee which is prorated over a twelve-month period. Fees for additional or special services are generally fixed in nature and are charged as services are rendered. All revenue is recognized in correlation to the monthly management fee determinations or as transactional services are provided.

Continuing Involvement
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will perform certain transitional services to Gallagher for up to 6 months following the closing of the sale. Such services include certain information and technology support and human resources support. The Company will be compensated for such services on a monthly basis and estimates the total compensation to be $1.0 million over the six month period plus reimbursement of any amounts paid by the Company in connection with its performance of the transitional services.
Leases
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, upon reclassification of the above assets and liabilities to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, the Company re-assessed the ROU assets of certain leases which will be assumed by Gallagher at closing and made the decision to abandon certain leases which will not be assumed by Gallagher and for which Eastern Insurance Group is the lessee. The ROU asset and lease liability of leases included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations and which will either be assumed by Gallagher or terminated by the Company was $1.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2023 and $8.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The Company will retain one lease for which Eastern Insurance Group is the current lessee. The lease will be partially sublet to Gallagher and transferred to the Bank upon dissolution of Eastern Insurance Group following the sale. The ROU asset and lease liability for such lease was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, at September 30, 2023 and $1.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.
The Company remeasured the present value of the future lease payments related to each lease for which Eastern Insurance Group is the lessee which resulted in a net reduction of the lease liabilities and a corresponding net reduction of the lease ROU assets of $6.4 million. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million related to leases which will be terminated early following the closing of the asset sale. The impairment charge was included in net (loss) income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Revenue Recognition - Insurance Commissions
The Company currently acts as an agent in offering property, casualty, and life and health insurance to both commercial and consumer customers though Eastern Insurance Group. The Company may also earn additional commissions from the insurers based upon meeting certain criteria, such as premium levels, growth rates, new business volume and loss experience. The Company recognizes commission revenues when earned based upon the effective date of the policy or when services are rendered. Certain revenues are deferred to reflect delivery of services over the contract period. Upon the transfer of Eastern Insurance Group’s assets to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., which occurred on sales ofOctober 31, 2023, the Company ceased to offer insurance products and services.

Resultsservices and thus no longer receives insurance-related commissions and revenues. The Company earns a fixed commission rate on the sales of these products and services.

Commissions are earned on the contract effective date and generally are based upon a percentage of premiums for insurance coverage. Commission rates depend upon a large number of factors, including the type of risk being placed, the particular underwriting enterprise’s demand, the expected loss experience of the particular risk coverage, and historical benchmarks surrounding the level of effort necessary for the Company to place and service the insurance contract. The vast majority of the Company’s services and revenues are associated with the placement of an insurance contract. Insurance commissions earned but not yet received amounted to $16.1 million and $15.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were included in assets of discontinued operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

The Company also earns profit-sharing revenues, also referred to as contingency revenue, from the insurers with whom the Company places business. These profit-sharing revenues are performance bonuses from the insurers based upon certain performance metrics such as floors on written premiums, loss rates, and selected financialgrowth rates. These amounts are in excess of the commission revenues discussed above, and not all business placed with underwriting enterprises is eligible for contingent revenues. Contingent revenues are variable and generally based upon the Company’s expectation of the ultimate profit-sharing revenue amounts to be earned and can vary from period to period. The Company’s contracts are generally calendar year contracts whereby revenues from underwriting enterprises are received in the calendar year following placement, generally the first and second quarters, after verification of the performance indicators outlined in the contracts. Accordingly, during each reporting period, management must make its best estimate of the amounts that have been earned using historical averages and other factors to project revenues. The Company bases its estimates each period on a contract-by-contract basis. As estimates may change significantly from period to period, the Company does not recognize this revenue until it has concluded that, based on all the facts and information by segment and reconciliationavailable, it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.

Overview

We are a bank holding company, and our principal subsidiary, Eastern Bank, is a Massachusetts-chartered bank that has served the banking needs of our customers since 1818. Our business philosophy is to operate as a diversified financial services enterprise providing a broad array of banking and other financial services primarily to retail, commercial and small business customers. We had total assets of $14.0$21.1 billion and $11.6$22.6 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively. We are subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”),FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

We manage our business under two business segments: our banking business, which contributed $125.7 million, or 84.0%, of our total income (interest and dividend income and noninterest income) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and contributed $238.7 million, or 82.6%, of our total income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and our insurance agency business, which contributed $23.9 million, or 16.0%, of our total income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $50.4 million, or 17.4%, of our total income for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our banking business consists of a full range of banking, lending (commercial, residential and consumer), savings and small business offerings, including our wealth management and trust operations that we conduct through our Eastern Wealth Management division.

In recent years, we managed our business under two business segments: our banking business and our insurance agency business. On September 19, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell our insurance agency business and, consequently, reclassified substantially all of the related assets and certain liabilities to “assets and liabilities of discontinued operations,” respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and the results of discontinued operations were reclassified to “net (loss) income from discontinued operations” on our Consolidated Statements of Income. For additional discussion of discontinued operations, refer to Note 19, “Discontinued Operations” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion excludes amounts reported as discontinued operations.
Net income and net loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 computed in accordance with GAAP were $63.5 million and $94.2 million, respectively, as compared to net income of $52.8 million and $145.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, representing an increase of 20.2% and a decrease of 164.7%, respectively. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a net income tax benefit recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to income tax expense recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which more than offset the combined effect of a decline in net interest income and an increase in noninterest expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Refer to the later sections titled “Results of Operations” within this Item 2 for additional discussion. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and resulting decline from net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the sale of available for sale securities at a loss in connection with our balance sheet repositioning completed in March 2023. Refer to the later sections titled “Outlook and Trends” and “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” within this Item 2 for additional discussion.
Net income from continuing operations and net loss continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and net income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included items that our management considers non-core, which management excludes for purposes of assessing our operating net income, a non-GAAP financial measure. Operating net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $52.1 million and $146.3 million, respectively, compared to operating net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $53.6 million and $151.3 million, respectively, representing decreases of 2.8% and 3.3%, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to decreased noninterest income on an operating basis along with increased noninterest expense on an operating basis for both the three and nine months ended compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Results of Operations” within this Item 2 for a reconciliation of operating net income to net income on a GAAP basis and further discussion of noninterest income and noninterest expense.
Banking Business

Our banking business offers a range of commercial, retail, wealth management and banking services,service, and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public, including municipalities, and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, to originate loans in a variety of sectors and to invest in securities. The Our

We use funds obtained from deposits, as well as funds obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Boston (“FHLBB”)FHLBB advances, and Federal funds, primarily to originate loans and to invest in securities. Our lending focuses on the following categories of loans:

Commercial Lending

Commercial and industrial: Loans in this category consist of revolving and term loans extended to businesses and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital, facilitating equipment purchases and facilitating acquisitions. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total commercial and industrial loans of $2.3 billion and $1.6 billion, representing 22.7% and 18.3%, respectively, of our total loans. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results

consistent with those projected at origination. Our primary focus for commercial and industrial loans is middle-market companies located in the markets we serve. In addition, we participate in the syndicated loan market and the Shared National Credit Program (“SNC Program”). As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our SNC Program portfolio totaled $514.5 million and $419.0 million, or 22.6%% and 25.5%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio, and 41.0% and 47.0%, respectively, of our SNC Program portfolio were loans to borrowers headquartered in our primary lending market. Our commercial and industrial portfolio also includes our Asset Based Lending Portfolio (“ABL Portfolio”). As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our ABL Portfolio totaled $159.1 million and $163.0 million, or 7.0% and 9.9%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio.

Commercial real estate: Loans in this category include mortgage loans on commercial real estate, both investment and owner occupied. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total commercial real estate loans of $3.6 billion and $3.5 billion, representing 35.8% and 39.3%, respectively, of our total loans. Property types financed include office, industrial, multi-family, affordable housing, retail, hotel and other types of properties. Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. The primary repayment sources include operating income generated by the real estate, permanent debt refinancing and/or the sale of the real estate.

Commercial construction: Loans in this category include construction project financing and are comprised of commercial real estate, business banking and residential loans for the purpose of constructing and developing real estate. Substantially all of our commercial construction portfolio is in commercial real estate. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total commercial construction loans of $282.2 million and $273.8 million, representing 2.8% and 3.0%, respectively, of our total loans.

Business banking: Loans in this category are comprised of loans to small businesses with exposures of under $ 1 million and small investment real estate projects with exposures of under $3 million. These loans are separate and distinct from our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios described above due to the size of the loans. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total business banking loans of $1.2 billion and $771.5 million, respectively, representing 12.3% and 8.6% of our total loans for each period, respectively.

Business banking originations include traditionally underwritten loans as well as partially automated scored loans. Our proprietary decision matrix, which includes a number of quantitative factors including, but not limited to, a guarantor’s credit score, industry risk, and time in business, is used to determine whether to make business banking loans. We also engage in Small Business Association (“SBA”) lending. SBA guarantees reduce our risk of loss when default occurs and are considered a credit enhancement to the loan structure. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we originated $1.1 billion of loans to approximately 8,100 borrowers under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as described in further detail elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

will continue to be significant,assess additional information and thatits implications for monetary policy. At its most recent meeting on November 1, 2023, the continuing health and safety concerns relatingFOMC decided to the ongoing pandemic will change the way we conduct our business and interact with our customers. Consistent with our philosophy of seeking to be a source of economic strength to our communities, we have taken a broad range of steps to help our colleagues, our borrowers and our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Colleagues. For our colleagues, we have enabled more than half of our employees to work remotely and we are providing premium pay for those colleagues who travel to our workplaces to serve in customer-facing positions or other positions that require them to work on-site. We have taken significant measures to ensure the health of our colleagues who must work in our branches, including promoting online and mobile banking and automatic teller machine/interactive teller machine transactions in an effort to limit in-branch transactions and limiting access to lobbies in branches with drive-through banking.

Our Borrowers. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily modified our practices with respect to the collection of delinquent loans to assist our customers during this difficult economic time, and during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we originated $1.1 billion of PPP loans.

For our retail customers, we suspended all collection of overdue payments beginning March 16, 2020, including residential property foreclosure and related property sales. We resumed collection activities with respect to delinquent consumer loans beginning in late July 2020.

For our commercial and small business customers, starting in March 2020, we began modifying the terms of loans with customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through June 30, 2020, we had modified approximately $946.1 million of loans, of which approximately 56% were for full payment deferrals (both interest and principal) and 44% were for deferral of only principal payments, and included $558.9 million of commercial real estate loans, including construction loans, $157.4 million of commercial and industrial loans, $106.9 million of business banking loans, $92.8 million of residential real estate loans and $30.1 million of consumer loans, including home equity loans. Most of these deferrals will end in the third or fourth quarter of the year ending December 31, 2020. We have not deferred our recognition of interest income with respect to loans subject to modifications.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are unable to reasonably estimate the aggregate amount of loans that will likely become delinquent after the respective deferral period. The following table shows certain data, as of June 30, 2020, related to loans to our borrowers in the industry categories that we believe will likely experience the most adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans included in the table that had been modified as of June 30, 2020 represented approximately 28.9% of our aggregate outstanding loan balances to all borrowers in those categories as of June 30, 2020. However, the table does not include all loans that had been modified on or before June 30, 2020.

The percentage of loans in each category, calculated as a percentage of aggregate outstanding loan balances for each category as of June 30, 2020, that we modified primarily due to the effects on borrowers of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic slowdown beginning in late March 2020.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we originated $1.1 billion of loans to approximately 8,100 borrowers under the PPP under the CARES Act. The vast majority of our PPP borrowers are existing commercial and small business borrowers, non-profit customers, retail banking customers and clients of Eastern Wealth Management and Eastern Insurance Group LLC. We anticipate that the vast majority of our PPP exposure will be forgiven late in the year ending December 31, 2020 or early in the year ending December 31, 2021. Only $4.9 million of our PPP exposure at June 30, 2020 had a maturity of five years; all of our other PPP loans outstanding at June 30, 2020 have a two-year maturity.

We received approximately $35.8 million of PPP loan origination fees from the SBA. We also deferred certain origination costs, totaling $3.5 million, related to PPP loans.

Our Operating Results. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and we believe it will continue to have a significant impact for at least the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020 and likely continuing into the year ending December 31, 2021.

During March 2020, the Federal Reserve took multiple steps to lower interest rates and reducedmaintain the target range for the federal funds rate at the range set following its July 26, 2023 meeting. The FOMC indicated that in determining the extent to between 0.0%which additional policy firming may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 percent over time, the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and 0.25%, comparedinflation, and economic and financial developments.

Inevitably, not all of our interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities will re-price simultaneously and in equal volume in response to changes in the federal funds rate, and therefore the potential for interest rate exposure exists. Management believes that several factors will affect the actual impact of interest rate changes on our balance sheet and operating results, including, but not limited to, actual changes in interest rates or expectations of future changes, the degree of volatility in the securities markets, inflation rates or expectations of inflation, and the slope of the interest rate yield curve. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying, and, where appropriate, hedging our exposure. Approximately 33% of the outstanding principal balance of our loans as of September 30, 2023 was indexed to a market rate that is expected to reprice along with the federal funds rate. A portion of these loans have been hedged using interest rate swaps to convert the floating rate interest receipts to a fixed rate. The notional amount of floating rate loans swapped totaled $2.4 billion on September 30, 2023, representing approximately 17.2% of the outstanding principal balance of our loans at that date. For more detail regarding such hedging financial instruments, refer to Note 14, “Derivative Financial Instruments” within the Notes to the previous targetUnaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to the section titled “Management of between 1.00% and 1.25%. These interest rate reductions, combined withMarket Risk” within this Item 2 for additional discussion including the decline in longer term rates, will lowerestimated change to our net interest income over timeunder interest rate risk measurement methodologies that use a variety of hypothetical scenarios assuming immediate and parallel changes in interest rates that may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates.
Increases in the federal funds rate, which began in March 2022, and greater industry-wide competition for deposits have had a significant impact on our cost of interest-bearing liabilities and funding betas. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022 and to assist in meeting our loan-growth needs, we placed additional reliance on wholesale funding in the form of borrowings and then, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we started to purchase brokered certificates of deposit. These funding sources generally have a higher cost than deposits originating within the markets we serve and are not our preferred sources of funding. During the first quarter of 2023, we completed a balance sheet repositioning by selling a portion of our AFS securities portfolio for total proceeds of $1.9 billion. The proceeds from the sale of such securities have been used to increase cash levels we experiencedand reduce wholesale funds and, in turn, improve our funding betas.

The following chart depicts our funding betas and cost of interest bearing liabilities for the previous twelve months as of September 30, 2023:

(2)The total cost of interest bearing liabilities is charted on the left-hand y-axis and cycle beta data is charted on the right-hand y-axis.
The above chart demonstrates a flattening of our liabilities costs immediately following the sale of AFS securities in March 2023 as the cash generated from the sale was used to reduce wholesale funding.
Bank Closures and Related FDIC Matters
On March 12 and 13, 2023, following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and Signature Bank and the appointment of the FDIC as the receiver for those banks, the FDIC announced that, under the systemic risk exception set forth in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”), all insured and uninsured deposits of those banks were transferred to the respective bridge banks for SVB and Signature Bank.
The FDIC also announced that, as required by the FDIA, any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) to support uninsured depositors would be recovered by a special assessment. On May 22, 2023, the FDIC published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that would impose special assessments to recover the loss to the DIF arising from the protection of uninsured depositors in connection with the systemic risk determination announced on March 12, 2023, following the closures of SVB and Signature Bank, as required by the FDIA. The assessment base for the special assessments would be equal to an insured depository institution’s (“IDI”) estimated uninsured deposits, reported as of December 31, 2019.

Our loan2022, adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits from the IDI, or for IDIs that are part of a holding company with one or more subsidiary IDIs, at the banking organization level. The FDIC has proposed to collect special assessments at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points, over eight quarterly assessment periods, which it estimates will result in total revenue of $15.8 billion. Because the estimated loss provisionpursuant to the systemic risk determination will be periodically adjusted, the FDIC would retain the ability to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period one or more quarters beyond the initial eight-quarter collection period to collect the difference between actual or estimated losses and the amounts collected, and impose a final shortfall special assessment on a one-time basis after the receiverships for SVB and Signature Bank terminate. The FDIC is proposing an effective date of January 1, 2024, with special assessments collected beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $8.6 million compared to $28.6 million for the quarter endedfirst quarterly assessment period of 2024 (i.e., January 1 through March 31, 2020. 2024, with an invoice payment date of June 28, 2024).

We experienced negative migrations in our loan risk ratings inestimate, based on the quarter ended June 30, 2020,FDIC’s May 2023 proposed rule, that the total pre-tax amount of the Bank’s special assessment will be approximately $10.0 million, although the extenttiming, amount and allocation of negative migrations was less than we experienced inthat special assessment remains

subject to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. We expect our loan loss provision to be greater in the remainderprovisions of the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to comparable prior periods, as the positive impacts of the modifications and PPP loans wane. The economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are significant, and the timing and pace of the economic recovery both locally and nationally will determine the severity and timing of our future loan losses.

Our Communities. To continue providing critical banking services in underbanked inner-city communities served by branches without drive-through banking capabilities, we have committed to remaining open in these communities to ensure our customers continue to have a place to bank. To further support our communities, the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation has directed approximately $8 million through June 30, 2020 in charitable donations to help address food, shelter, small business and housing stability, particularly for vulnerable populations,FDIC’s final rule, when effective, as well as providing helpany actions by the FDIC, as described above, to public health organizations fightingcease collection early, extend the collection period, and impose a final shortfall special assessment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are usedmanagement uses to evaluate our performance and which exclude the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments that are non-recurring or infrequent and/or that we believe are unrelated to our core business and are therefore not necessarily indicative of our current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility for investors into our core businesses andas well as underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items.

items in the corresponding GAAP financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, the information presented within this section excludes discontinued operations. Refer to Note 19, “Discontinued Operations” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding discontinued operations.

There are items in our financial statements that impact our results thatbut which we believe are unrelated to our core business. Therefore,Accordingly, we present operating net operating earnings,income, noninterest income on an operating basis, noninterest expense on an operating basis, total operating revenue, operating earnings per share, operating net income to average tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, and the operating efficiency ratio, on an operating basis, each of which excludes the impact of thesuch items that we do not believe are related to our core business asbecause we believe excluding these items providessuch exclusion can provide greater visibility into our core business and underlying trends. ItemsSuch items that we do not consider to be core to our business include (i) income and expenses from investments held in rabbi trusts, (ii) gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale, net, (iii) gains and losses on the sale of other assets, (iv) rabbi trust employee benefitbenefits, (v) impairment charges on tax credit investments and (v)associated tax credit benefits, (vi) OREO gains and losses, (vii) merger and acquisition expenses.

expenses, (viii) the non-cash pension settlement charge recognized related to our Defined Benefit Plan, (ix) certain discrete tax items, and (x) net income from discontinued operations. There were no expenses indirectly associated with OREO gains or losses, impairment charges on tax credit investments and associated tax credit benefits, or non-cash pension settlement charges during the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We also present tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible assets, andthe ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, average tangible shareholders’ equity, the ratios of net income (loss) from continuing operations and operating net income to average tangible shareholders’ equity and tangible book value per share, each of which excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, as we believe these financial measures provide investors with the ability to further assess our performance, identify trends in our core business and provide a comparison of our capital adequacy to other companies. We have included information on thesethe tangible ratios because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by management to assess performance and identify trends.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, or as an indication of our cash flows from operating activities, a measure of our liquidity or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. An item which we consider to be noncorenon-core and exclude when computing these non-GAAP financial measures can be of substantial importance to our results for any particular period. In addition, our methodology for calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar performance measures and, accordingly, our reported non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the same or similar performance measures reported by other companies.

Merger and acquisition expenses previously reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to acquisitions by Eastern Insurance Group were excluded from the above table as they were reclassified to discontinued operations. Refer to Note 19, “Discontinued Operations” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.
(2)The net tax benefit associated with these items is generally determined by assessing whether each item is included or excluded from net taxable income and applying our combined statutory tax rate only to those items included in net taxable income. The net tax benefit amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily resulted from the sale of securities classified as available for sale in the first quarter of 2023, a $23.7 million tax benefit resulting from the transfer of certain securities from Market Street Securities Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary which was liquidated during the first quarter of 2023, to Eastern Bank, and the net effect of establishing a valuation allowance and the subsequent reversal of the federal portion of such valuation allowance. Upon the sale of securities in the first quarter of 2023, we established a valuation allowance of $17.4 million, which is included in the net tax benefit amount, as it was determined at that time that it was not more-likely-than-not that the entirety of the deferred tax asset related to the loss on such securities would be realized. Following the execution of the agreement to sell our insurance agency business in September 2023 and our estimate of the resulting capital gain, which is described in the earlier “Outlook and Trends” section in this Item 2 and is estimated to be sufficient to realize federal capital losses related to the securities sale, we reversed the associated federal valuation allowance previously established as we had determined it was more-likely-than-not that the entirety of the federal deferred tax asset related to the loss on such securities would be realized. The tax expense resulting from the sale of the insurance agency business is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter following the closing of the sale. The net tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the reversal of the remainder of the federal portion of the valuation allowance described above and a net tax benefit associated with a change in management’s estimate of annual pre-tax loss for purposes of determining our quarterly income tax provision.

Securities
Our current investment policy authorizes us to invest in various types of investment securities and liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate notes, asset-backed securities and municipal securities. The Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for approving and overseeing our investment policy, which it reviews at least annually. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on the safety of the investment, liquidity requirements, potential returns and market risk considerations. We do not engage in any investment hedging activities or trading activities, nor do we purchase any high-risk investment products. We typically invest in the following types of securities:

U.S. Governmentgovernment securities: At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our U.S. government securities consisted of U.S. Agency bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. We maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, at zero risk weighting for capital purposes, and as collateral for interest rate derivative positions. At June 30, 2020U.S. Agency bonds include securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHLB, and December 31, 2019, our U.S. Government securities consisted solely of U.S. Treasury securities.

the Federal Farm Credit Bureau.

Mortgage-backed securities:We invest in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae.Mae, including collateralized mortgage obligations. We have not purchased any privately-issued mortgage-backed securities. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve a positive interest rate spread with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae.

Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accelerationaccretion of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. We periodically review current prepayment speeds to determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

State and municipal securities:We invest in fixed rate investment grade bonds issued primarily by municipalities in our local communities within Massachusetts and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The market value of these securities may be affected by call options, long dated maturities, general market liquidity and credit factors.

The following table shows the fair value of our securities by investment category as of the dates indicated:

The yield on tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions has been adjusted to a fully taxablefully-taxable equivalent basis (“FTE”) basis by adjusting tax-exempt income upward by an amount equivalent to the prevailing federal income taxes that would have been paid if the income had been fully taxable.

Net unrealized gains on available for sale securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $62.1 million and $28.0 million, respectively.

Loans

We consider our loansloan portfolio to be relatively diversified by borrower and industry. Our gross loans increased $1.0 billion,$343.7 million, or 11.4%2.5%, to $10.0$13.9 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 from $9.0$13.6 billion at December 31, 2019.2022. The increase as of June 30, 2020 was primarily due to $1.1 billion PPP loan originations,increases in our commercial real estate and residential real estate portfolio balances and was partially offset by a decrease in other consumer loans of $67.7 million.

The increase in our commercial and industrial loansportfolio.

Our commercial real estate portfolio increased by $241.6 million from December 31, 20192022 to JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 which was primarily a resultattributable to an increase of the $633.2$251.9 million PPPin commercial real estate investment loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

balances. Such loans represent loans secured by commercial real estate that are non-owner-occupied. The increase in our business bankingsuch loan balances was primarily due to management’s active focus on originating loans collateralized by industrial/warehouse and multi-family property types, which are included in the commercial real estate investment loan category, due to management’s belief that the credit performance of such loans has a stable outlook. The increase in commercial real estate investment loan balances was partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate owner-occupied loans of $14.2 million which was due to net paydowns of such loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Our residential real estate portfolio increased by $90.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in residential real estate loan balances was primarily due to fewer sales of originated loans resulting in more loans being held for investment, and purchases of loans which totaled $32.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Our commercial and industrial portfolio decreased by $63.4 million from December 31, 20192022 to JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 which was primarily a resultdue to sales of $467.0commercial and industrial participation loans of $191.8 million in PPPduring the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was partially offset by new loan originations duringwithin the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The decrease in other consumer loanscommercial and industrial portfolio which were primarily funded with the proceeds from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 was primarily a resultthe sales of a decreaseloans.

Asset quality. We continually monitor the asset quality of our loan portfolio utilizing portfolio scorecards and various credit quality indicators. Based on this process, loans meeting certain criteria are categorized as delinquent impaired, or nonperformingnon-performing and further assessed to determine if nonaccrualnon-accrual status is appropriate.

For the commercial portfolio, which includes our commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and commercial construction and business banking loans, we monitor credit quality using a 12-point commercial risk-rating system is utilized,risk rating scale, which assigns a risk-grade to each borrower based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a commercial loan transaction. Management utilizes a loan risk rating methodology based on a 15-point scale with the assistance of risk rating scorecard tools. Pass grades are 0-10 and non-pass categories, which align with regulatory guidelines, are: special mention (11), substandard (12), doubtful (13) and loss (14).
Risk rating assignment is determined using one of 15 separate scorecards developed for distinctive portfolio segments based on common attributes. Key factors includeinclude: industry and market conditions, position within the industry, earnings trends, operating cash flow, asset/liability values, debt capacity, guarantor strength, management and controls, financial reporting, collateral and other considerations. The risk rating categories are as follows: unrated (0), pass (1-6W), special mention (7), substandard (8), doubtful (9) and loss (10).

Special mention, substandard and doubtful loans totaled 8.9%3.5% and 2.6%2.2% of total commercial loans outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively. This increase was driven by an increaseseveral risk rating downgrades of loans in the special mention category, due to the downgrading of our hotelcommercial and restaurant loan portfolios as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

industrial and commercial real estate portfolios.

Our philosophy toward managing our loan portfolios is predicated upon careful monitoring, which stresses early detection and response to delinquent and default situations. We seek to make arrangements to resolve any delinquent or default situation over the shortest possible time frame.

The delinquency rate of our total loan portfolio increasedimproved to 0.84%0.38% at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 from 0.49%2023, compared to 0.50% at December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in delinquencies in our (i) residential real estate portfolio, (ii) other consumer portfolio, (iii) consumer home equity portfolio and (iv) business banking portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in our commercial and industrial portfolio.

NPLs consist of nonaccrualnon-accrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest. OREO consists of real estate properties, which primarily serve as collateral to secure our loans, that we control due to foreclosure. These properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell on the date we obtain control.

The following table sets forth information regarding NPAs held as Any write-downs to the cost of the dates indicated:

Refer to the later “Allowance for Loan Losses” section in this Item 2 for a discussion of the change in non-accrual loans which comprise our NPLs as a result of an increase in our business bankingSeptember 30, 2023 and residential real estate portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in our commercial and industrial portfolio due to a single, larger loan payoff and a reduction in the outstanding balance of a single, larger Asset Based Lending (“ABL”) credit.

Non-accrual loans increased $9.9 million, or 23.3%, to $52.3 million at June 30, 2020 from $42.5 million at December 31, 2019, primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in our business banking portfolio and $6.1 million increase in our residential real estate portfolio, partially offset by the paydowns of certain NPLs as discussed above.

2022.

The total amount of interest recorded on NPLs was $0.3 million forduring both the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.2023 and 2022 was not significant. The gross interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of those loans if they had been performing amounted to $2.0$3.8 million and $2.7 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Troubled debt2023 and 2022, respectively.

In the course of resolving NPLs, we may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. We attempt to work-out alternative payment schedules with the borrowers in order to avoid foreclosure actions. As noted within Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 which eliminated TDR accounting. Prior to the adoption of this standard, we reviewed each loan that was modified to identify whether a TDR had occurred. TDRs involved situations in which, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we granted a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise have considered. Subsequent to our adoption of this standard, we apply the loan refinancing and restructuring (“TDR”)guidance codified in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 of the Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan.
ASU 2022-02 requires disclosure of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The aggregate amortized cost balance as of September 30, 2023 of loans modified during the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202023, determined in accordance with ASU 2022-02, which were $2.8determined to be modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty was $2.9 million (post modification balance). Thereand $7.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there were no loans that had been modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and which had subsequently defaulted during the period.
Under previous accounting guidance, in cases where a borrower experienced financial difficulties and we made certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan was one loanclassified as a TDR. Loans modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 which were determined to be TDRs, determined in accordance with a balanceprevious accounting guidance in effect through December 31, 2022, totaled $5.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively. As of $1.3 million

September 30, 2022, there were no loans that had been modified during the preceding 12 months, which were party to a TDR and which subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Our policy is that any restructured loan, which is on non-accrual status prior to being modified, remain on non-accrual status for approximately six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in TDR loans was driven by $1.8 million in commercial loans and $1.0 million in consumer loans.

Purchasesubsequent to being modified before we consider its return to accrual status. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, we review it to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status.

Purchased credit impaireddeteriorated (“PCI”PCD”) loans are loans that we acquired that have shown evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and, therefore, it was deemed unlikely that all contractually required payments would be collected upon the acquisition date. We consider factors such as payment history, collateral values and accrual status when determining whether there was evidence of deterioration at the acquisition date. The carrying value and prospective income recognition of PCI loans are predicated on future cash flows expected to be collected. As of JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 20192022, the carrying amount of PCIPCD loans was $12.4$50.4 million and $13.5$56.6 million, respectively.

Potential Problem Loans. In the normal course of business, we become aware of possible credit problems in which borrowers exhibit potential for the inability to comply with the contractual terms of their loans, but which currently do not yet meet the criteria for classification as NPLs. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we reviewed all of our credit exposures in industries that were expected to experience significant problems due to the pandemic and resulting economic contraction. As part of that review, we downgraded our hotel loans, restaurant loans and other loans that we expected to have associated challenges in the current economic environment. These loans wereare neither delinquent nor on non-accrual status. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, ourOur potential problem loans, (including these COVID-19-related loans), or loans with potential weaknesses that were not included in the non-accrual loans or in the loans 90 days or more past due categories, increased by $123.1 million, or 65.8%, to $310.1 million at September 30, 2023 from $187.0 million at December 31, 2022. These loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 2.2% at September 30, 2023 from 1.4% at December 31, 2022. The increase in potential problem loans from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the downgrade of certain commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, including certain commercial real estate loans collateralized by properties in the office risk segment. Refer to the below “Commercial Real Estate Office Exposure” section of this Item 2 for additional information.

Table of Contents

Commercial Real Estate Office Exposure. Our total office-related commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (which is comprised of loans within our commercial real estate and construction portfolios that are secured by office space, medical office space, and mixed-use properties where rental income is primarily from office space) totaled $660.6$832.3 million and $157.3$819.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Given prevailing market conditions such as rising interest rates, reduced occupancy as a result of the increase in hybrid work arrangements post-COVID, and lower commercial real estate valuations, we are carefully monitoring these loans for signs of deterioration in credit quality. As of September 30, 2023, three of these loans, which had a total recorded investment balance of $25.8 million, were on non-accrual status and had transitioned to non-accrual status during the three months ended September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, none of these loans were on non-accrual status.

Allowance for loancredit losses.For the purpose of estimating theour allowance for loan losses, we segregate the loan portfolio into the homogenous loan poolscategories, for loans that share similar risk characteristics, that possess unique risk characteristics such as loan purpose, repayment source, and collateral that are considered when determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses for each category.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually.

82

Table of Contents

While we use available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions or subtractions to/from the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in NPLs, changes in economic conditions, or other reasons. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of our examination process, periodically assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to assess whether the allowance for loan losses was determined in accordance with GAAP and applicable guidance.
We perform an evaluation of our allowance for loan losses on a regular basis (at least quarterly), and establish the allowance for loan losses based upon an evaluation of our loan categories, as each possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses, including:
known increases in concentrations within each category;
certain higher risk classes of loans, or pledged collateral;
historical loan loss experience within each category;
results of any independent review and evaluation of the category’s credit quality;
trends in volume, maturity and composition of each category;
volume and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals;
national and local economic conditions and downturns in specific local industries;
corporate goals and objectives;
lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery practices; and
current and forecasted banking industry conditions, as well as the regulatory and competitive environment.
Loans are evaluated on a regular basis by management. Expected lifetime losses are estimated on a collective basis for loans sharing similar risk characteristics and are determined using a quantitative model combined with an assessment of certain qualitative factors designed to address forecast risk and model risk inherent in the quantitative model output. For commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction and business banking portfolios, the quantitative model uses a loan rating system which is comprised of management’s determination of probability of default, or PD, loss given default, or LGD, and exposure at default, or EAD, which are derived from historical loss experience and other factors. For residential real estate, consumer home equity and other consumer portfolios, our quantitative model uses historical loss experience.
The allowance for loan losses is allocated to loan categories using both a formula-based approach and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment. We use a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of expected credit loss in the loan portfolio. Under our current methodology, the allowance for loan losses contains reserves related to loans for which the related allowance for loan losses is determined on individual loan basis and on a collective basis, and other qualitative components.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable. The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the reserving method for loans receivable previously described. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The allowance for loan losses increased by $34.3$12.9 million, or 41.7%9.1%, to $116.6$155.1 million, or 1.17%1.12% of total loans, at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 from $82.3$142.2 million, or 0.92%1.05% of total loans at December 31, 2019.2022. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily athe result of our responseadditional reserves required due to increased loan balances, an increase in reserve rates for commercial real estate loans collateralized by properties in the COVID-19-related economic impact. Duringoffice risk segment, and increased specific reserve balances, particularly as they relate to several commercial real estate loans collateralized by properties in the office risk segment which transitioned to non-accrual status during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we downgraded our risk ratings for all loans secured by hotels and restaurants, and any of our other commercial loans for which our customers are expecting to face financial difficulties due to the current economic environment, and the lower risk ratings resulted in higher levels of reserves for the allowance. In total, we downgraded the risk rating on $1.7 billion of commercial loans, of which $511.9 million were transferred into the special mention, or worse, risk rating category. This, along with other factors, resulted in a provision for loan loss of $8.6 million and $37.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes changes2023. Partially offsetting these increases in the allowance for loan losses, was our adoption of ASU 2022-02, as previously described above, which resulted in a change in reserving method for loans previously classified as TDRs. Upon adoption of ASU 2022-02, TDR loans for which the allowance for loan losses was determined by a discounted cash flow analysis transitioned to their respective pools of loans sharing similar risk characteristics and other selected statisticsfor which the allowance for loan losses is determined on a collective basis. As a result, the allowance for loan losses for such loans was reduced by $1.1 million.

For additional discussion of our allowance for credit losses measurement methodology, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of ChangesContents

Non-accrual loans increased $13.5 million, or 39.8%, to $47.5 million at September 30, 2023 from $34.0 million at September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate non-accrual loans of $25.8 million and was partially offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial non-accrual loans of $11.8 million. Non-accrual commercial real estate loans increased due to several loans, which are collateralized by properties in the office risk segment, transitioning to non-accrual status during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Two such loans were delinquent less than 30 days as of September 30, 2023. Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans decreased primarily due to payoffs and curing of delinquency of such loans, which included the payoff during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of one commercial and industrial loan which was on non-accrual and had a balance of $7.2 million as of September 30, 2022.

To determine if a loan should be charged-off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed. Possible sources of repayment include the potential for future cash flows, liquidation of the collateral and the strength of co-makers or guarantors. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged-off against the allowance for loan losses and any recoveries of such previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, we charge off the amount of any confirmed loan loss in the period when the loans, or portions of loans, are deemed uncollectible. For troubled, collateral-dependent loans, loss confirming events may include an appraisal or other valuation that reflects a shortfall between the value of the collateral and the carrying value of the loan or receivable, or a deficiency balance following the sale of the collateral.
For additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Separately, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we increased by $1.7 million our reserve on unfunded lending commitments, which was primarily due to an increase in the total exposure on unfunded lending commitments. This increase contributed to an increase in our non-interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock

The FHLBB is a cooperative that provides services to its member banking institutions. The primary reason for our membership in the FHLBB is to gain access to a reliable source of wholesale funding and as a tool to manage interest rate risk. The purchase of stock in the FHLB is a requirement for a member to gain access to funding. We purchase and/or are subject to redemption of FHLBB stock proportional to the volume of funding received and view the holdings as a necessary long-term investment for the purpose of balance sheet liquidity and not for investment return.

Table of Contents

We held an investment in the FHLBB of $8.8$37.1 million and $9.0$41.4 million at JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively.

The amount of stock we are required to purchase is proportional to our FHLB borrowings and level of total assets. Accordingly, the decrease in FHLB stock is due to decreased borrowings.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill

The balance of our goodwill and core deposit intangible asset was $566.7 million and $568.0 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets were $376.3 million and $377.7 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decreaseincluded in goodwill and other intangibles assets was due to the amortization of definite- lived intangibles during the six months ended June 30, 2020.discontinued operations.

This increasedecrease was primarily the result of an increaseoverall decline in deposits following the failure of several banks in early 2023, as discussed in the earlier “Outlook and Trends” section in this Item 2, as well as industry-wide competition for deposits and a decrease in brokered certificates of deposit of $534.5 million. Brokered certificates of deposit decreased as such accounts matured and were not renewed in full as we emphasized other means for increasing our overall liquidity as of September 30, 2023. The decrease in brokered certificates of deposit was more than offset by a shift in deposit mix of certain core deposits from demand and interest checking deposits, which decreased by $1.1 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, to certificates of $571.6 million and andeposit resulting in a net increase in certificates of $1.2 billiondeposit. This shift in demand deposits. Duringdeposit mix during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2023 was due primarily to increases in rates paid on certificates of deposit, which attracted depositors to such products.
The Bank’s estimate of total uninsured deposits was $7.4 billion and $9.0 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In accordance with the FDIC’s Call Report instructions, these estimates include accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries, the holding company, and internal operating deposit accounts (together referred to as “internal deposit accounts”). In addition, these estimates include municipal deposit accounts for which securities were pledged by us to secure such deposits (“collateralized deposits”). For liquidity monitoring purposes, we transferred a product forexclude internal deposit accounts and collateralized deposits from our Financial Institutions customers from borrowings toestimate of uninsured deposits. Our estimate of uninsured deposits, totaling $299.5 million.

Borrowings

Our borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide us with one of our sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides us with a continentcontingent source of liquidity.

Our total borrowings decreased by $206.2$25.5 million or 87.6%, to $29.2$715.4 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 from $235.42023 compared to $740.8 million at December 31, 2019.2022. The decrease was primarily due to a reductiondecrease in FHLB short-term advances. Refer to the later “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” section in this Item 2 for additional discussion of $201.1 million of federal funds purchased. The reduction in our federal funds purchased was a result of the transfer of a product for our Financial Institution customers from borrowings to deposits.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income decreasedincreased by $10.9$44.3 million, or 9.7%28.1%, to $101.9$202.2 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 from $112.8$157.8 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2022. The decreaseincrease was primarily a result of the negative impact of a lower interest rate environment.

Interest income on loans decreased by $10.1 million, or 9.9%, to $92.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $102.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest income on securities decreased $0.8 million, or 7.8%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest and dividend income decreased by $16.2 million, or 7.2%, to $208.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $224.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was a result of lower interest income on our loans asan increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 73which increased by 107 basis points duringcompared with the sixthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, partially offset by our recording of deferred fees related to our PPP loans. Our average interest-earning assets increased by $1.2 billion, or 11.1%, to $11.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 compared to $10.5 billion as of June 30, 2019.2022. Our yields on loans and securities are generally presented on an FTE basis where the embedded tax benefit on loans orand securities are calculated and added to the yield. ThisManagement believes that this presentation allows for better comparability between institutions with different tax structures.

Partially offsetting the impact of increased yields was a decrease in the average balance of our interest-earning assets which decreased by $1.3 billion, or 5.9%, to $20.2 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $21.5 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of securities.

The decreaseincrease in interest income on our loans was primarily due to the decreasean increase in the yield on average loans. The decreaseour yields and an increase in the average balance. The overall yield on our loans increased 88 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2023 in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in yield was primarily due to the downward adjustmentincreases in market rates of the interest which resulted in increased yields on variable rate loans which repriced and new loans originated at higher rates on our existing adjustable-rate loans as a result of the lowering interest rate environment, whereas the average balance of loans increased due to continued efforts to expand our loan portfolio.

Interest income on securities decreased $1.1and other short-term investments increased slightly by $0.1 million, or 5.3%0.2%, to $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest income on securities was due to lower overall market rates. The FTE yield on average securities decreased 100 basis points to 2.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average balance of securities and other interest earning assets increased by $628.2 million, or 40.7%, to $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 compared to $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2019.

We received approximately $35.8 million of PPP loan origination fees from the SBA. We also deferred certain origination costs, totaling $3.5 million, related to our PPP loans. The loan fees and the deferred costs will be amortized through interest income over the life of the PPP loans, which is expected to be 24 months, but the amortization period will be adjusted as PPP loans are forgiven or repaid. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $4.1 million in PPP loan fees, net in interest income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $6.1 million, or 65.9%, to $3.2$32.9 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 from $9.3$32.8 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2022. The relative consistency in interest income on our securities and other short-term investments was due to the offsetting effect of an increase in our yield and a decrease in the overall average balance. The yield on our securities and short-term investments increased 62 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2023 in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in the rate paid on our cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from an average of 2.25% during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to an average of 5.33% during the three months ended September 30, 2023. In addition, our cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due primarily to the deposit of proceeds from the sale of AFS securities (discussed earlier) in March 2023. Substantially offsetting this increase was a decrease in our average securities balance, which decreased $2.7 billion, or 29.8%, to $6.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $9.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 which was primarily due to the sales of AFS securities in March 2023.

Interest income on loans increased $150.1 million, or 45.0%, to $483.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $333.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on our loans was due to an increase in our yields and an increase in the average balance. The overall yield on our loans increased 110 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in yield was primarily due to increases in market rates of interest rates.

The average balance of our loans increased $1.5 billion, or 12.0%, to $13.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $12.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest income on securities and other short-term investments increased $12.5 million, or 13.0%, to $109.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $96.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest income on our securities and other short-term investments was due to an increase in our yield on such investments. The yield on our securities and short-term investments increased 65 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in the rate paid on our cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from an average of 1.10% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to an average of 4.99% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest Expense
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense increased $59.3 million and $163.6 million, respectively, to $65.0 million and $175.7 million, respectively, from $5.6 million and $12.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in both deposit and borrowings interest expense.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense on our interest-bearing deposits decreasedincreased by $4.2$54.8 million or 57.6%, to $3.1$59.6 million from $4.8 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202022. This increase was due to an increase in the rates paid on deposits and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Rates paid on deposits increased by 174 basis points to 1.89% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $7.30.15% during the three months ended September 30, 2022. This is primarily due to our increasing overall deposit rates paid in response to an increase in market rates of interest and heightened industry-wide competition for deposits, and an increase in brokered certificates of deposit which generally bear a higher rate of interest compared to other interest-bearing deposits. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the average interest-bearing deposits balance increased by $0.1 billion to $12.5 billion from $12.4 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of our increasing of rates paid on such deposits as well as purchases of brokered certificates of deposit. We did not purchase any brokered certificates of deposit during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest expense related to our borrowings increased by $4.5 million to $5.4 million during three months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.9 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.

2022. The increase in borrowings interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 is attributable to an increase in our utilization of our FHLB borrowing capacity and an increase in rates paid on such borrowings. We increased utilization of our FHLB borrowing capacity in order to support ongoing operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense on our interest-bearing deposits increased by $147.5 million to $158.7 million from $11.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was due to an increase in the rates paid on deposits and an increase in the balance of average interest-bearing deposits. Rates paid on deposits increased by 152 basis points to 1.64% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 0.12% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This is primarily due to our increasing overall deposit rates paid in response to an increase in market rates of interest and heightened industry-wide competition for deposits and an increase in brokered certificates of

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the average interest-bearing deposits balance increased by $0.4 billion to $12.9 billion from $12.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Average interest-bearing deposits increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of our increasing of rates paid on such deposits as well as purchases of brokered certificates of deposit. We did not purchase any brokered certificates of deposit during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest expense related to our borrowings increased by $16.0 million to $17.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest expense on our interest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.3 million, or 38.4%, to $8.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $13.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in our interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was due to a decrease in the cost of deposits. The average balance of deposits increased due to our increasing core deposits to help fund loan growth, whereas the average cost of deposits decreased due to the interest rate decreases occurring in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The average cost of our interest-bearing deposits decreased 21 basis points to 0.26% during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The average balance of our interest-bearing deposits increased by $637.5 million, or 10.7%, to $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 compared to $6.0 billion as of June 30, 2019.

The decrease was a result of the Bank’s asset sensitivity combined with a lower interest rate environment. The decline in interest income was only partially offset by a decline in interest expense.

2022. Net interest income decreased by $7.3 million, or 3.5%, to $198.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $206.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in interest and dividend income partially offset by the decrease in interest expense, both due to the decrease in interest ratesthe balance of average net interest-earning assets of $1.4 billion, or 16.0%, to $7.6 billion during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

2023 from $9.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in yields on interest-earning assets.

The following chart shows our net interest margin over the past five quarters:

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the charge to expense that is required to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. The
We recorded a provision for allowance for loan losses increased by $7.1 million, or 473.3%, to $8.6of $7.3 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2023, compared to $1.5a provision of $6.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. This increase was2022 and a provision for allowance for loan losses of $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a provision of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Management determined a provision to be necessary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to theincreased loan risk rating migrationbalances and an increase in commercial and industrial andnon-performing commercial real estate portfoliosloans, which are reserved for on a specific reserve basis. The increase in our non-performing commercial real estate loans was primarily attributable to reflectseveral commercial real estate loans, which are collateralized by properties in the investor office risk segment, transitioning to non-accrual during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Management’s estimate of our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2023 and the provision for allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was supported, in part, by Oxford Economics’ September 2023 Baseline forecast (“the forecast”) which was used to develop management’s estimate of the effect of expected future economic conditions on the allowance for loan losses. The forecast assumed the U.S. economy will mildly contract in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the assumption used as of December 31, 2022, which had assumed the U.S. economy would enter a recession in the second quarter of 2023. This forecast reflects the impact of cumulative rate increases by the FOMC, with the most recent occurring in July 2023, tighter lending conditions, and continued inflation pressure leading to reduced consumer spending. Primary macroeconomic assumptions included in management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses included an increased unemployment rate and a steady gross domestic product (“GDP”). Further, the forecast assumed that the FOMC will not raise federal rates further during the current economic environment resultingcycle. Although the core consumer price index declined slightly in August 2023 from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The provisionprior month, inflation is expected to remain above the FOMC’s 2% target through 2024. Refer to the section titled “Outlook and Trends” within this Item 2 for additional discussion. For additional discussion of our allowance for credit losses measurement methodology, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

To illustrate the sensitivity of the modeled result to the impact of a hypothetical change in the economic forecast, management calculated the allowance for loan losses increased by $32.7 million, or 726.7%, to $37.2 million forassuming the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.5 million fordownside economic forecast scenario and, separately, the six months ended June 30, 2019.upside economic forecast scenario. The increase was primarily due todownside scenario assumed the changeU.S. economy will enter a more severe recession at the end of 2023 and experience a fourth quarter decline in loan risk ratings to reflect the impactGDP of 2.6% on an annualized basis. Use of the increased concerns about customers that are expecting to face financial difficulties due to the current economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily related to the downgrading of our hotel and restaurant loan portfolios. Thedownside scenario would have resulted in an incremental increase in the provision also reflectsallowance for loan losses of approximately $11.5 million as of September 30, 2023. The upside scenario assumed GDP growth of 2.1% and 0.8% in the increased concern aboutfourth quarter of 2023 and the performancefirst quarter of 2024, respectively, along with sustained recovery. Use of the loan portfolio given the increaseupside scenario would have resulted in an incremental decrease in the non-performing loans and delinquent loans during the quarter ended Juneallowance for loan losses of approximately $7.2 million as of September 30, 2020.

Our periodic evaluation of the appropriate allowance for loan losses considers the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and trends in loan delinquencies and charge-offs.

Partially offsetting the loss was a $5.9$0.7 million increase in income from investments held in rabbi trusts and a $1.6$0.7 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts.
We realized a loss on sale of commercial and industrial loans of $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Losses from investments held in rabbi trusts were $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to losses of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For both periods, the losses were primarily due to an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment on equity securities held in these accounts. The unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was greater than the unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased primarily as a result of an increase in customer overdraft charges primarily due to a larger volume of overdrafts for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

For additional discussion, refer to Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Service charges on deposit accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased primarily as a result of decreased corporate account analysis charges which was due primarily to lower commercial deposit account customer activity attributable to heightened industry-wide competition for deposits. Also contributing to the decrease was a decrease in customer overdraft charges for the period, which decreased primarily as a result of our decision to reduce the amount of the overdraft fees charged to our customers beginning in the third quarter of 2022.
Income from investments held in rabbi trusts increased primarily as a result of a favorable mark-to-market adjustment on equity securities held in these accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulting from an increase in the market value of equity securities held in the rabbi trusts as compared to an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment due tofor the current interest rate and economic environment.

Noninterest expense decreasedincreased by $0.8$6.0 million, or 0.8%6.2%, to $100.8$101.7 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 from $101.6$95.8 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2022. This increase was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in professional services, a $2.6 million increase in other noninterest expenses, a $1.2 million increase in

FDIC insurance, and a $1.2 million increase in data processing expense. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in loan expenses.
Professional services increased primarily due to merger and acquisitions expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which totaled $3.6 million and were related to our proposed acquisition of Cambridge. No merger and acquisition expenses were incurred by the Bank during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Other noninterest expenses increased primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in other pension expense. This is primarily due to a decrease in expected return on plan assets in our Defined Benefit Plan. For further discussion on the Company’s Defined Benefit Plan refer to see Note 10, “Employee Benefits” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FDIC insurance expenses increased primarily due to an increase in the assessment rate charged by the FDIC during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Data processing expenses are primarily comprised of costs associated with the processing of customer transactions including loans and deposits and are partially impacted by fluctuations in related transaction volume. Such expenses, such as core data processing expenses, increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to during the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in customer loan activity.
Loan expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in the volume of property titling expenses associated with consumer home equity line of credit (“HELOC”) applications received during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to during the three months ended September 30, 2022. We had marketed our HELOC products during the three months ended September 30, 2022 which had led to increased volume during that period. The marketing effort ceased in the fourth quarter of 2022 which led to a subsequent decline in the volume of HELOC applications received.
Noninterest expense increased by $21.5 million, or 7.8%, to $297.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $276.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $13.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $8.9 million increase in other noninterest expenses, and a $3.7 million increase in FDIC insurance expenses. Partially offsetting these increases were a $2.5 million decrease in loan expenses and a $2.0 million decrease in office occupancy and equipment expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to an $8.3 million increase in benefit expense related to our defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“DC SERP”). Participant benefits are adjusted based upon deemed investment performance. Accordingly, such investments experienced an increase in value during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulting in a corresponding increase in the related benefit expense. Also contributing to the increase was an increase of $5.4 million in salaries and wages expense, which was primarily due to costs of living salary and wage increases and the addition of new employees. Also contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits was an increase in the legacy long-term cash-based incentive plan compensation expense as well as an increase in the restricted stock award expense. Expense related to the long-term cash-based incentive plan increased to a net expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net credit (reduction of expense) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting from an increase in certain metrics to which the awards are tied during such periods. Restricted stock award expense increased $3.3 million due to the restricted stock units and restricted stock awards granted in December 2022 and during the first and second quarters of 2023. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of $3.3 million in the pension service cost, which was primarily driven by a change in the mix of employees which reduced the present value of benefits based upon salary growth levels in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Other noninterest expenses increased primarily due to a $9.4 million increase in other pension expense. This is primarily due to a decrease in expected return on plan assets in our Defined Benefit Plan. For further discussion on the Company’s Defined Benefit Plan refer to Note 10, “Employee Benefits” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also contributing to this increase was a $1.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses on off balance sheet exposures, which was primarily due to increases in exposure on unfunded commercial and industrial loan commitments and unfunded construction loan commitments. Partially offsetting these items was a $2.1 million decrease in post-retirement bank-owned life insurance expense which was primarily

caused by an increase in the discount rate used to determine the liability related to our split-dollar life insurance policies. This increase in the discount rate resulted in a decrease in the expense associated with such liabilities.
FDIC insurance expenses increased $3.7 million primarily due to an increase in the assessment rates charged by the FDIC during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Loan expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in volume of HELOC applications received during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Bank stopped offering HELOC promotions at the end of 2022.
Office occupancy and equipment expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in operating lease expense, which was primarily due to a decrease in other noninterest expensethe number of $1.7 million, a $1.1 million increase in net periodic benefit cost, excluding service cost, and a $1.0 million decrease in marketing expenses and partially offset by an increase in loan expenses of $1.2 million and an increase in data processing expenses of $1.3 million.

Noninterest expense decreased by $10.5 million, or 5.1%, to $195.9 millionoccupancy leases during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 from $206.4 million2023 compared to during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.7 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $3.3 million decrease in charitable contributions and a $2.2 million decrease in net periodic benefit cost, excluding service cost, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in professional services expense and $1.6 million increase in loan expenses.

2022.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased primarily as a result of a favorable defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan expense as a result of the less favorable mark-to-market adjustment on securities held in rabbi trust accounts, lower incentive expenses and deferrals of nonrefundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans (primarily due to the PPP loans), partially offset by higher commissions.

Charitable contributions decreased primarily as a result of lower contributions to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation, as a result of lower taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net period benefit cost, excluding service cost, decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the expected return on plan assets.

Professional services increased primarily as a result of higher legal costs related to (i) corporate-related matters, (ii) loan- related matters and (iii) our commercial banking strategy and development services.

Loan expenses increased primarily as a result of increased mortgage loan originations.

Banking Segment

Average interest-earning assets grew $1.2 billion, or 11.1%, to $11.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $10.5 billion as of June 30, 2019, with average total loans, our largest category of average interest-earning assets, growing $529.4 million, or 5.9%, to $9.4 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $8.9 billion as of June 30, 2019.

Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $404.3 million, or 6.4%, to $6.7 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $6.3 billion as of June 30, 2019, with average total deposits, our largest category of average interest-bearing liabilities, growing $637.5 million, or 10.7%, to $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $6.0 billion as of June 30, 2019.

Assets under management in our wealth management business increased by $134.5 million, or 5.5%, to $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2019. Our income related to our asset management business, which we record as noninterest income, increased by $0.2 million, or 4.3%, to $5.2$16.2 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, compared to $5.02023 from an expense $16.7 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2022. The increasedecrease was dueprimarily the result of our reversal of a federal valuation allowance established in the first quarter of 2023 related to our sale of securities at a loss and a revision in management’s estimate of annual pre-tax loss for purposes of determining our quarterly income tax provision. For additional information related to income taxes see Note 12, “Income Taxes” within the Notes to the fees we earned duringUnaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Income tax expense decreased by $109.3 million to a benefit of $65.6 million in the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2023 from a provision of $43.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense, which resulted in a tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to higher valuationslower income before income tax expense, which was a net loss and net benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as a consequence of our assets under management.

Our incomelosses realized on sales of available for sale securities in the first quarter of 2023. For additional information related to our asset management business increased by $0.7 million, or 7.3%, to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.6 million forCompany’s income taxes see Note 12, “Income Taxes” within the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was dueNotes to the fees we earned during the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to higher valuations of our assets under management.

Insurance Agency Segment

Noninterest income related to our insurance agency business decreased by $0.6 million, or 2.5%, to $23.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $24.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven primarily by a decreaseUnaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in negotiated commissions and profit sharing revenues of $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, partially offset by an increasePart I, Item 1 in income from investments held in rabbi trusts of $0.8 million and in increase in recurring commissions of $0.3 million due to organic growth.

this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Noninterest income related to our insurance agency business increased by $0.4 million, or 0.8 %, to $50.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $50.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in our combined negotiated commission and profit sharing income of $0.8 million, in addition to an increase in our recurring commissions of $0.5 million due to organic growth, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in income from investments held in rabbi trusts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. The financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, unadvanced portions of construction loans and standby letters of credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

At June 30, 2020, we had $3.7 billion of commitments to originate loans, comprised of $2.2 billion of commitments under commercial loans and lines of credit (including $291.8 million of unadvanced portions of construction loans), $1.2 billion of commitments under home equity loans and lines of credit, $213.9 million in overdraft coverage commitments, and $45.3 million of unfunded commitments related to residential real estate loans and $20.0 million in other consumer loans and lines of credit. In addition, at June 30, 2020, we had $57.4 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. Finally, we had $67.7 million in forward commitments to sell loans.

Management of Market Risk

General. Market risk is the sensitivity of the net present value of assets and liabilities and/or income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. Interest rate sensitivity is the most significant market risk to which we are exposed. Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of the net present value of assets and liabilities and/or income to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates, as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of assets and liabilities, affect net interest income, our primary source of income. Interest rate risk arises directly from our core banking activities. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in the level of interest rates can also affect the amount of loans originated, the timing of cash flows on loans and securities, and the fair value of securitiesassets and derivatives,liabilities, as well as other effects. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to attempt to control this risk within limits approved by the Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors.

These limits reflect our tolerance for interest rate risk over both short-term and long-term horizons. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying, and where appropriate, hedging itsour exposure. If assets and liabilities do
98

not re-price simultaneously and in equal volume, the potential for interest rate exposure exists. Our objective is to maintain stability in the growth of net interest income through the maintenance of an appropriate mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and, when necessary and within limits that management determines to be prudent, through the use of off-balance sheet hedging instruments such asincluding, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, floors and caps.

Our asset-liability management strategy is devised and monitored by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), a subcommittee of the Enterprise Risk Management Committee (“ERMC”), in accordance with policies approved by our Board of Directors. ALCO meets regularly to review, among other things, our sensitivity to interest rate changes, loan pricing and activity, investment activity and strategy, hedging strategies, and deposit pricing and funding strategies with respect to overall balance sheet composition. Management reports regularly to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors on these risks and objectives with independent oversight and reporting from our Financial and Model Risk Management group.

As noted in the earlier section titled “Outlook and Trends” and the later section titled “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” in this Item 2, we completed a balance sheet repositioning during the first quarter of 2023 by selling a portion of our AFS investment securities portfolio for total proceeds of $1.9 billion. Such securities were lower-yielding U.S. Agency bonds and government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities which were purchased when interest rates were historically low. Prior to the sale, we placed reliance on wholesale funding, including brokered deposits, to meet our loan-growth needs which have a higher cost than deposits originating within the markets we serve and are not our preferred sources of funding. Subsequent to the sale, our reliance on such funding sources is lessened as we believe we have a stronger liquidity position.
Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income (“NII”) model. We estimate whatmodel our net interest income would be forNII over a 12-month and 24-month period assuming no changes in interest rates and a static balance sheet, where cash flows from financial assets and liabilities are replaced with new business of similar terms at current rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would bemodel NII for the same period under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreasesmarket rates increase and decrease instantaneously by +200, +300, +400 and -100certain basis point increments, which vary by period depending upon market conditions, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Changes in Interest Rates” column in the table below.
Many assumptions are made in the modeling process for both NII and economic value of equity (“EVE”, discussed further below), including but not limited to the repricing and maturity characteristics of existing and new business, loan and security prepayments, administered deposit rate betas, duration of deposits without stated maturity dates, and other option risks. Management believes these assumptions to be reasonable for the various interest rate environments modeled, however, differences in actual results from these assumptions could change our exposure to interest rate risk. The models assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Additionally, the model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates. We do not model negative interest rate scenarios.
Because of the limitations inherent in any modeling approach used to measure market risk, including NII and EVE sensitivity analysis, and because, in the event of changes in interest rates, management would take active steps to manage interest rate risk exposure among its financial assets and liabilities, modeling results, including those discussed in “Interest Rate Sensitivity” and “EVE Interest Rate Sensitivity” below, should not be relied upon as a forecast of actual NII or EVE, nor should they be interpreted as management’s expectations of actual results in the event of such interest rate fluctuations. The tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, and actual results may differ.

As of September 30, 2023, our model, as indicated above, shows a decline in our net interest income in rising rate scenarios. In the rising rate scenarios, funding costs are modeled to rise faster than income on earning assets, due, in part, to the mix of funding which has shifted towards higher rate paying deposits and wholesale funding in recent quarters. As shown in the table above, the model generated similar results as of December 31, 2022. That is, the model showed a decline in our net interest income in the rising rate scenarios as funding costs were modeled to rise faster than income on earning assets, due, in part, to the shift in our mix of funding. The rate scenarios that we model at each period end are dependent upon market conditions, which is why the rate scenarios that we model may differ from period-to-period. As such, we did not previously model an instantaneous 400 basis point decrease in interest rates at December 31, 2022 given the lower level of interest rates compared to September 30, 2023.
Management may use investment strategy, loan and deposit pricing, non-core funding strategies, and interest rate derivative financial instruments, within internal policy guidelines, to manage interest rate risk as part of our asset/liability strategy. Management believes these derivatives provide significant protection against falling interest rates. For additional information related to our interest rate derivative financial instruments see Note 14, “Derivative Financial Instruments” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Economic Value of Equity Analysis. We also analyze the sensitivity of our financial condition to changes in interest rates through our EVE model. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates.
The tables below represent an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in our EVE, resulting from an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in the yield curve (+100, +200, +400 basis points and -100, -200, and -400 basis points) at September 30, 2023 and (+200, +300, +400 basis points and -100, -200 basis points) at December 31, 2022. The model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates.

The tables above indicate that at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis points increase in rates, we would have experienced a 17.0% and 2.7% increase, respectively, in net interest income on an FTE basis, and in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis points decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 2.4% and a 3.9% decrease at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, in net interest income, on an FTE basis. We have the ability to use interest rate derivative financial instruments, within internal policy guidelines, to manage interest rate risk as part of our asset/liability strategy. These derivatives provide significant protection against falling interest rates. Without the derivatives, our FTE net interest income would decline by 2.8% with an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, rather than the 2.4% decrease shown in the table above at June 30, 2020.

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. We also analyze the sensitivity of our financial condition in interest rates through our economic value of equity (“EVE”) model. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates.

Liquidity, and Capital Resources,

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet deposit withdrawals and anticipated loan fundings, as well as current and planned expenditures. We seek to maintain sources of liquidity that are deepreliable and diversified and that may be used during the normal course of business as well as on a contingency basis.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of securities.securities, subject to market conditions. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are unencumbered cash and due from banks and securities classified as available for sale.

sale, which could be liquidated, subject to market conditions. In the future, our liquidity position will continue to be affected by the level of customer deposits and payments, as well as any acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases in which we may engage. For the next twelve months, we believe that our existing resources, including our capacity to use brokered deposits and wholesale borrowings, will be sufficient to meet the liquidity and capital requirements of our operations. We may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt financing to fund business activities such as strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, or other purposes beyond the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2023, we had $608.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $439.3 million from $169.5 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in cash levels was due primarily to a decrease of $2.4 billion in AFS securities from $6.7 billion at December 31, 2022 to $4.3 billion at September 30, 2023. In March 2023, we completed a balance sheet repositioning by selling lower yielding AFS securities. The sale allowed us to redeploy the proceeds in the current higher interest rate environment through increased cash levels and loan fundings, and the reduction of wholesale borrowings.

The increased cash levels following our balance sheet repositioning provided strong balance sheet liquidity to support the needs of our depositors as part of our liquidity contingency planning during the uncertain environment created by the bank failures in the months of March and May 2023. Advances from the FHLBB were also used to support ongoing operations and totaled $673.5 million and $704.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We participate in the Promontory InterfinancialIntraFi Network, allowingwhich allows us to provide access to multi-million dollar FDIC deposit insurance protection on customer deposits for consumers, businesses and public entities.entities that exceed same-bank FDIC insurance thresholds. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other Promontory networkIntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs.

These deposits could have been repurchased aspreviously sold reciprocal deposits and should be considered a source of liquidity.

Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining back upadditional sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.FHLBB. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2023, we had $14.9$673.5 million in outstanding advances and the ability to borrow up to an additional $1.4$2.0 billion. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston as well as the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility.Boston. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2023, we had a $485.0 million$2.5 billion collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston with no outstanding balance. Additionally,through the Bank Term Funding Program. The Bank Term Funding Program was created by the Federal Reserve in March 2023. At September 30, 2023, we had $1.1the ability to borrow up to $879.4 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Discount Window. In addition, we were able to acquire brokered deposits at our discretion to raise additional funds. At September 30, 2023, we had $394.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $608.8 million and secured borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $5.3 billion, providing total liquidity sources of $5.9 billion. These liquidity sources provided 105% coverage of all customer uninsured and uncollateralized deposits, which totaled $5.7 billion, or 32% of total deposits, as of September 30, 2023. For further discussion of uninsured deposits, refer to the “Deposits” discussion within the “Financial Position” within this Item 2.
Anticipating the completion of the sale of Eastern Insurance Group’s business during the quarter ending December 31, 2023, our funding mix during the three months ended September 30, 2023 relied more heavily on short-term FHLB borrowings. As disclosed elsewhere in Paycheck Protection Program Loans that couldthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we completed the sale of Eastern Insurance Group’s business on October 31, 2023 for a gross purchase price of $515.0 million, subject to customary post-closing working capital adjustments. We plan to use the proceeds from the sale to pay down our short-term FHLB borrowings. For further discussion refer to “Outlook and Trends” within this Item 2.

Our Board of Directors and our management’s Asset Liability Committee have put a Liquidity Contingency Planliquidity contingency plan in place to establish methods for assessing and monitoring risk levels, as well as potential responses during unanticipated stress events. As part of itsour risk management framework, we perform periodic liquidity stress testing to assess itsour need for liquid assets as well as backup sources of liquidity.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve (with respect to our consolidated capital requirements). At JuneSeptember 30, 20202023 and December 31, 2019,2022, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company must maintain (1) a minimum of total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%; (2) a minimum of common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%; (3) a minimum of Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0%; and (4) a minimum of Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0%. Management believes that the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There have been no conditions or events that management believes would cause a change in the Company’s categorization.

In March 2015, the FDIC issued a Financial Institution Letter (FIL-12-2015) indicating that non-advanced approaches institutions may make a one-time, permanent election to opt out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in regulatory capital. At that time, we opted to make such an election. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on our AFS securities portfolio are not included in regulatory capital. Consequently, the balance sheet repositioning we completed in March 2023 with the sale of AFS securities reduced our regulatory capital and related capital ratios, as the unrealized loss on such securities (which was included in AOCI and excluded from regulatory capital) was effectively reclassified to retained earnings (which is included in regulatory capital).
The Company’s actual capital ratios are presented in the following table:
As of September 30, 2023As of December 31, 2022
Capital Ratios:
Average equity to average assets (1)11.94 %12.52 %

(1)The ratio presented as of September 30, 2023 represents quarter-to-date average equity as a percentage of quarter-to-date average total assets.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies.In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities. ThereAt September 30, 2023, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations, other commitments and contingencies from those disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. The financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, unadvanced portions of construction loans and standby letters of credit, all of which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.
At September 30, 2023, we had $5.9 billion of commitments to originate loans, comprised of $3.6 billion of commitments under commercial loans and lines of credit (including $888.6 million of unadvanced portions of construction loans), $2.1 billion of commitments under home equity loans and lines of credit, $201.9 million in standard overdraft coverage commitments, $17.1 million of unfunded commitments related to residential real estate loans and $62.9 million in other consumer loans and lines of credit. In addition, at JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

2023, we had $54.5 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. We also had $8.5 million in forward commitments to sell loans.

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Company’s common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting shares of Company common stock.

Subject to the receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals, and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, upon the completion of the merger with Cambridge, the Company will be incorporating Cambridge’s business into its own to create a combined enterprise. While we believe there are significant similarities and expected synergies in core business activities and geographical locations of our businesses and services, the Company’s business differs from that of Cambridge. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company and the market price of the Company’s common stock after the completion of the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of the Company and Cambridge.
The Company may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger, particularly if the integration of the Company’s and Cambridge’s businesses is more difficult than expected.
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully combine the businesses of Company and Cambridge. the Company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the transaction if the integration process takes longer or is more costly than expected. Furthermore, any number of unanticipated adverse occurrences for either the business of Cambridge or the Company may cause us to fail to realize some or all of the expected benefits. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in

standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. Each of these issues might adversely affect the Company, Cambridge or both during the transition period, resulting in adverse effects on the Company following the merger. As a result, revenues may be lower than expected or costs may be higher than expected and the overall benefits of the merger may not be as great as anticipated.
The Company may be unable to retain Company and/or Cambridge personnel successfully while the merger is pending or after the merger is completed.
The success of the merger will depend in part on the Company’s ability to retain the talents and dedication of key employees currently employed by the Company and Cambridge. It is possible that these employees may decide not to remain with the Company or Cambridge, as applicable, while the merger is pending or with the Company after the merger is completed. If the Company and Cambridge are unable to retain key employees, including management, who are critical to the successful integration and future operations of the companies, the Company and Cambridge could face disruptions in their operations, loss of existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated additional recruitment costs. In addition, following the merger, if key employees terminate their employment, the Company’s business activities may be adversely affected, and management’s attention may be diverted from successfully integrating the Company and Cambridge to hiring suitable replacements, all of which may cause the Company’s business to suffer. In addition, the Company and Cambridge may not be able to locate or retain suitable replacements for any key employees who leave either company.
The Company and Cambridge have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs related to the merger and integration.
The Company and Cambridge have incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with negotiating the merger agreement and closing the merger. In addition, the Company will incur integration costs following the completion of the merger as the Company integrates the Cambridge business, including facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. The Company and Cambridge will also incur significant legal, financial advisory, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the merger. Some of these costs incurred by the Company are payable regardless of whether the merger is completed.
The Company and Cambridge may also incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to retain key employees. There can be no assurances that the expected benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses will be realized to offset these transaction and integration costs over time.
Regulatory approvals related to the merger may not be received, may take longer to receive than expected or may impose burdensome conditions that are not presently anticipated, which could impose additional costs and could delay or prevent completion of the merger.
Before the merger may be completed, certain approvals or consents must be obtained from the various bank regulatory and other authorities of the United States, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of New Hampshire. These governmental entities, including the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the Massachusetts Division of Banks and the New Hampshire Banking Department, may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger. While the Company does not currently expect that any such conditions or changes would be imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of the Company following the merger, any of which might have a material adverse effect on the Company following the merger. The Company is not obligated to complete the merger if the regulatory approvals received in connection with the completion of the merger include any conditions or restrictions that would constitute a “Burdensome Condition” as defined in the merger agreement.
There can be no assurance as to whether the regulatory approvals will be received or the timing of the approvals.
If the merger is not consummated by September 19, 2024, either the Company or Cambridge may choose not to proceed with the merger.
Either the Company or Cambridge may terminate the merger agreement if the merger has not been completed by September 19, 2024, unless the failure of the merger to be completed has resulted from the failure of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement to perform its obligations.

Shareholder litigation could prevent or delay the completion of the merger or otherwise negatively impact the business and operations of the Company and Cambridge.
Shareholders of the Company and/or Cambridge may file lawsuits against the Company, Cambridge and/or the directors and officers of either company in connection with the merger. One of the conditions to the closing is that no order, injunction or decree issued by any court or governmental entity of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint preventing the consummation of the merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement be in effect. If any plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the Company or Cambridge defendants from completing the merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, then such injunction may delay or prevent the effectiveness of the merger and could result in significant costs to the Company and/or Cambridge, including any cost associated with the indemnification of directors and officers of each company. The Company and Cambridge may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any shareholder lawsuits filed in connection with the merger. Such litigation could have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and Cambridge and could prevent or delay the completion of the merger.
