The following table provides information about the principal classes of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2019 and 2018. (Dollars in thousands) 2019 2018 Construction $ 99,829 $ 127,572 Residential real estate 442,506 429,560 Commercial real estate 586,562 523,427 Commercial 102,020 107,522 Consumer 17,737 7,274 Total loans 1,248,654 1,195,355 Allowance for credit losses (10,507) (10,343) Total loans, net $ 1,238,147 $ 1,185,012 In the normal course of banking business, loans are made to officers and directors and their affiliated interests. These loans are made on substantially the same terms and conditions as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons who are not related to the Company and are not considered to involve more than the normal risk of collectability. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, such loans outstanding, both direct and indirect (including guarantees), to directors, their associates and policy-making officers, totaled approximately $18.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively. During 2019 and 2018, loan additions were approximately $15.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and loan repayments were approximately $8.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Due to changes in the composition of related parties, $1.4 million of loans included in the total for the prior year end were no longer reported as related party loans at December 31, 2019. Net loan origination costs, included in balances above, totaled $1.8 million and $789 thousand as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 included in total loans were $79.2 million and $92.8 million in loans, respectively, acquired as part of the 2017 NWBI branch acquisition. These balances are presented net of the related discount which totaled $1.1 million at December 31, 2019 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2018. In the normal course of banking business, risks related to specific loan categories are as follows: Construction loans – Construction loans are offered primarily to builders and individuals to finance the construction of single family dwellings. In addition, the Bank periodically finances the construction of commercial projects. Credit risk factors include the borrower’s ability to successfully complete the construction on time and within budget, changing market conditions which could affect the value and marketability of projects, changes in the borrower’s ability or willingness to repay the loan and potentially rising interest rates which can impact both the borrower’s ability to repay and the collateral value. Residential real estate – Residential real estate loans are typically made to consumers and are secured by residential real estate. Credit risk arises from the borrower’s continuing financial stability, which can be adversely impacted by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy, among other factors. Also impacting credit risk would be a shortfall in the value of the residential real estate in relation to the outstanding loan balance in the event of a default or subsequent liquidation of the real estate collateral. Commercial real estate – Commercial real estate loans consist of both loans secured by owner occupied properties and non-owner occupied properties where an established banking relationship exists and involves investment properties for warehouse, retail, and office space with a history of occupancy and cash flow. These loans are subject to adverse changes in the local economy and commercial real estate markets. Credit risk associated with owner occupied properties arises from the borrower’s financial stability and the ability of the borrower and the business to repay the loan. Non-owner occupied properties carry the risk of a tenant’s deteriorating credit strength, lease expirations in soft markets and sustained vacancies which can adversely impact cash flow. Commercial – Commercial loans are secured or unsecured loans for business purposes. Loans are typically secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and/or other assets of the business. Credit risk arises from the successful operation of the business which may be affected by competition, rising interest rates, regulatory changes and adverse conditions in the local and regional economy. Consumer – Consumer loans include home equity loans and lines, installment loans and personal lines of credit. Credit risk is similar to residential real estate loans above as it is subject to the borrower’s continuing financial stability and the value of the collateral securing the loan.
