The Company has elected to present the accrued interest receivable balance separate from amortized cost basis, to exclude accrued interest receivable balances from the tabular disclosures, and not to estimate an ACL on accrued interest receivable as these amounts are timely written off as a credit loss expense. Accrued interest receivable totaled $30.7 million at March 31, 2021 and was reported in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. A summary of the activity in the ACL on loans by category for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is as follows: (in thousands) Commercial and industrial CRE - investor owned CRE - Construction and land development Residential real estate Other Total Allowance for credit losses on loans: Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 58,812 $ 32,062 $ 17,012 $ 21,413 $ 4,585 $ 2,787 $ 136,671 Provision for credit losses 541 3,381 3,226 (7,091) (152) 598 503 Charge-offs (3,739) (2,372) (28) — (271) (64) (6,474) Recoveries 327 34 9 235 143 79 827 Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 55,941 $ 33,105 $ 20,219 $ 14,557 $ 4,305 $ 3,400 $ 131,527 The ACL on sponsor finance loans, which is included in the categories above, represented $19.7 million and $19.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. A summary of the activity in the ACL on loans by category for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows: (in thousands) Commercial and industrial CRE - investor owned CRE - Construction and land development Residential real estate Other Total Allowance for credit losses on loans: Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 27,455 $ 5,935 $ 4,873 $ 2,611 $ 1,280 $ 1,134 $ 43,288 CECL adoption 6,494 10,726 2,598 5,183 3,470 (84) 28,387 PCD loans immediately charged off — (5) (57) (217) (1,401) — (1,680) Balance at January 1, 2020 $ 33,949 $ 16,656 $ 7,414 $ 7,577 $ 3,349 $ 1,050 $ 69,995 Provision for credit losses 11,591 3,224 1,994 2,309 2,011 566 21,695 Charge-offs (63) (2) — (31) (122) (86) (304) Recoveries 504 14 69 40 157 17 801 Balance at March 31, 2020 $ 45,981 $ 19,892 $ 9,477 $ 9,895 $ 5,395 $ 1,547 $ 92,187 The CECL methodology incorporates various economic scenarios. The Company utilizes three forecasts in the model: Moody’s baseline, a stronger near-term growth upside and a moderate recession downside forecast. The Company weights these scenarios at 70%, 5%, and 25%, respectively, which added approximately $5.4 million to the ACL over the baseline model. These forecasts incorporate an accommodative monetary policy and the current and anticipated impact of government stimulus. The Company has also recognized the risk posed by loans that have received multiple deferrals of principal and interest payments, loans in the hospitality sector, and loans with other specific identified risks by allocating additional reserves to those segments. Some of the key risks to the forecasts that could result in future provision for credit losses are additional shutdowns and self-quarantines if another significant wave of COVID hits, the vaccination process stalls, small-business bankruptcies occur at higher levels, or unemployment increases.

This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: • Grades 1, 2, and 3 – Includes loans to borrowers with a continuous record of strong earnings, sound balance sheet condition and capitalization, ample liquidity with solid cash flow, and whose management team has experience and depth within their industry. • Grade 4 – Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow. • Grade 5 – Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow. • Grade 6 – Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7, 8, or 9 rating. • Grade 7 – Watch credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated at this time, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support. • Grade 8 – Substandard credits include those borrowers characterized by significant losses and sustained downward trends in balance sheet condition, liquidity, and cash flow. Repayment reliance may have shifted to secondary sources. Collateral exposure may exist and additional reserves may be warranted. • Grade 9 – Doubtful credits include borrowers that may show deteriorating trends that are unlikely to be corrected. Collateral values may appear insufficient for full recovery, therefore requiring a partial charge-off, or debt renegotiation with the borrower. The borrower may have declared bankruptcy or bankruptcy is likely in the near term. All doubtful rated credits will be on nonaccrual.
