ACL for Loans | ACL for Loans There have been no material changes to the Company's ACL for loans methodology, underwriting practices, or credit risk management system used to estimate credit loss exposure as described in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 4, "Credit Risk Management and ACL for Loans," to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements contained in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under the subheading "Accounting Policies/Critical Accounting Estimates," of the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The credit risk management function of the Company evaluates a wide variety of factors, as early detection of credit issues is critical to minimizing credit losses. Accordingly, management regularly monitors internal credit quality indicators such as, the risk classification of loans, past due and non-accrual loans, individually evaluated loans, loan modifications, and the level of foreclosure activity, among other items. These credit quality indicators are outlined below. Risk ratings and adversely classified loans The Company's loan risk rating system classifies loans depending on risk of loss characteristics. Adversely classified ratings for loans determined to be of weaker credit range from "special mention," for loans that may need additional monitoring, to the more severe adverse classifications of "substandard," "doubtful," and "loss" based on criteria established under banking regulations. The following tables present the amortized cost basis of the Company's loan portfolio risk ratings within portfolio classifications, by origination date, or revolving status as of the dates indicated:

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all loans past due 90 days or more were carried as non-accrual, however, not all non-accrual loans were 90 days or more past due in their payments. Loans that were less than 90 days past due where reasonable doubt existed as to the full and timely collection of interest or principal have also been designated as non-accrual, despite their payment due status.

The increase in non-accrual loans from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 was due primarily to two commercial construction loans that were deemed collateral dependent and added to non-accrual during the period. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, additional funding commitments for non-accrual loans were immaterial. Collateral dependent loans The total recorded investment in collateral dependent loans amounted to $27.6 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $13.7 million at December 31, 2023. Total accruing collateral dependent loans amounted to $1.8 million while non-accrual collateral dependent loans amounted to $25.8 million as of September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, total accruing collateral dependent loans amounted to $2.4 million, while non-accrual collateral dependent loans amounted to $11.3 million.

Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty The Company works with loan customers experiencing financial difficulty and may enter into loan modifications to the extent deemed to be necessary or appropriate while attempting to achieve the best mutual outcome given the individual financial circumstances and future prospects of the borrower. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of the modification. Modifications made for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may be concessions in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, payment deferrals of principal, interest or both, or term extensions, or some combination thereof. When a debt has been previously modified, the Company considers the cumulative effect of modifications made within the prior twelve-month period before the current modification, when determining whether or not a delay in payment resulting from the current modification is insignificant. The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of concession granted during the periods indicated: Three months ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Payment Deferrals % of Loan Class Total Payment Deferrals % of Loan Class Total Commercial and industrial $ — — % $ 143 0.03 % Commercial construction 7,906 1.17 % — — % Total $ 7,906 0.20 % $ 143 — % Nine months ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 (Dollars in thousands) Payment Deferrals % of Loan Class Total Payment Deferrals % of Loan Class Total Commercial real estate owner-occupied $ — — % $ 272 0.01 % Commercial and industrial — — % 177 0.04 % Commercial construction 7,906 1.17 % — — % Residential mortgages — — % 32 0.01 % Total $ 7,906 0.20 % $ 481 0.01 % The following tables present the financial effect of loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the periods indicated: Three months ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Weighted Average Payment Deferrals Weighted Average Payment Deferrals Commercial and industrial 0.0 years 0.5 years Commercial construction 0.5 years 0.0 years Nine months ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Weighted Average Payment Deferrals Weighted Average Payment Deferrals Commercial real estate owner-occupied 0.0 years 0.5 years Commercial and industrial 0.0 years 0.5 years Commercial construction 0.5 years 0.0 years Residential mortgages 0.0 years 0.5 years The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts.
