Loans, net and allowance for loan losses | 4. Loans, net and allowance for loan losses: The major classifications of loans outstanding, net of deferred loan origination fees and costs at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are summarized as follows. Net deferred loan fees of $1,567 and $2,058 are included in loan balances at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in deferred loan fees is due in part to PPP forgiveness during 2021. Net deferred loan origination fees remaining related to PPP loans is $1,659 at December 31, 2021. Included in the commercial balances at December 31, 2021 are PPP loans that had an outstanding balance at December 31, 2021 of $68,893 comprised of $55,252 remaining from those originated during 2021 as part of round two and $13,641 remaining from loans originated during 2020 under round one of the program. The PPP loans are risk rated ‘Pass’ and do not carry an allowance for loan losses due to a 100% SBA guarantee. The outstanding balance is considered current at December 31, 2021. December 31 2021 2020 Commercial $ 613,127 $ 679,286 Real estate: Commercial 1,343,539 1,137,990 Residential 297,624 277,414 Consumer 74,883 83,292 Total $ 2,329,173 $ 2,177,982 Loans outstanding to directors, executive officers, principal stockholders or to their affiliates totaled $3,173 and $5,031 at December 31, 2021and 2020, respectively. The decrease in loans outstanding is due to loan balances related to one former director who retired in 2021. Advances and repayments and other changes during 2021 totaled $4,824 and $6,682, respectively, and during 2020 totaled $3,747 and $5,574, respectively. There were no related party loans that were classified as nonaccrual, past due, or restructured at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Deposits from related parties amounted to $10.9 million at December 31, 2021 and $9.0 million at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, the majority of the Company’s loans were at least partially secured by real estate in the markets we operate in. Therefore, a primary concentration of credit risk is directly related to the real estate market in these regions. Changes in the general economy, local economy or in the real estate market could affect the ultimate collectability of this portion of the loan portfolio. Management does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of credit risk that could affect the loan portfolio. The changes in the allowance for loan losses account by major classification of loan for the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 were as follows: Real estate December 31, 2021 Commercial Commercial Residential Consumer Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 8,734 $ 14,559 $ 3,129 $ 922 $ 27,344 Charge-offs (492) (252) (24) (188) (956) Recoveries 89 68 7 81 245 Provisions (credits) 122 1,553 97 (22) 1,750 Ending balance $ 8,453 $ 15,928 $ 3,209 $ 793 $ 28,383 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 40 109 26 175 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 8,413 $ 15,819 $ 3,183 $ 793 $ 28,208 Loans receivable: Ending balance $ 613,127 $ 1,343,539 $ 297,624 $ 74,883 $ 2,329,173 Ending balance: individually evaluated for impairment 199 2,890 1,273 4,362 Ending balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 612,928 $ 1,340,649 $ 296,351 $ 74,883 $ 2,324,811 The allowance for loan losses increased $1.1 million to $28.4 million at December 31, 2021, from $27.3 million at the end of 2020. The increase resulted from a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million less net loans charged-off of $0.7 million. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2021 continued to reflect the provisions added during 2020 from our adjustment of qualitative factors in our allowance for loan losses methodology, due to economic decline and expectation of increased credit losses from COVID-19's adverse impact on economic and business operating conditions. The decrease to charge-offs in 2021 is due to improved credit quality. The 2021 period includes the total charge-off of a fully allocated small-business line of credit originated in our Greater Delaware Valley market totaling $0.4 million. During 2020, $0.9 million was charged-off related to small-business lines of credit originated in our Greater Delaware Valley market offset by $0.2 million of recoveries.

The decrease in special mention commercial real estate loans resulted primarily from an upgrade to a $5.3 million credit due to a credit enhancement and satisfactory repayment history. The decrease to substandard commercial loans resulted primarily from a $1.5 million relationship that was paid off during 2021. The decrease in substandard commercial real estate loans resulted from a refinance of a credit related to the hospitality industry that is secured by a seventy-five percent SBA guarantee. Information concerning nonaccrual loans by major loan classification at December 31, 2021 and 2020 is summarized as follows: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Commercial $ 185 $ 3,822 Real estate: Commercial 1,793 3,262 Residential 694 922 Consumer 139 111 Total $ 2,811 $ 8,117 The major classification of loans by past due status at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are summarized as follows: Greater Loans > 90 30-59 Days 60-89 Days than 90 Total Past Days and December 31, 2021 Past Due Past Due Days Due Current Total Loans Accruing Commercial $ 101 $ 155 $ 158 $ 414 $ 612,713 $ 613,127 Real estate: Commercial 768 423 834 2,025 1,341,514 1,343,539 Residential 1,552 207 265 2,024 295,600 297,624 $ 13 Consumer 477 163 51 691 74,192 74,883 Total $ 2,898 $ 948 $ 1,308 $ 5,154 $ 2,324,019 $ 2,329,173 $ 13 Greater Loans > 90 30-59 Days 60-89 Days than 90 Total Past Days and December 31, 2020 Past Due Past Due Days Due Current Total Loans Accruing Commercial $ 73 $ 2,245 $ 2,318 $ 676,968 $ 679,286 Real estate: Commercial 414 $ 222 2,362 2,998 1,134,992 1,137,990 Residential 2,072 480 732 3,284 274,130 277,414 $ 71 Consumer 384 70 67 521 82,771 83,292 Total $ 2,943 $ 772 $ 5,406 $ 9,121 $ 2,168,861 $ 2,177,982 $ 71 The decrease to non-accrual loans from December 31, 2020 was due primarily to a $1.5 million payoff and $1.0 million payoff of two unrelated commercial relationships, a $0.4 million total charge-off of a small business line of credit, a $0.5 million commercial real estate loan transferred to other real estate owned, and a $0.5 restaurant related commercial real estate loan placed back on accrual due to satisfactory repayment and improved operations. The amount of residential loans in the formal process of foreclosure totaled $285 at December 31, 2021 and $135 at December 31, 2020.

Included in the commercial loan, commercial real estate and residential real estate categories are troubled debt restructurings that were classified as impaired. Trouble debt restructurings totaled $1,649 and $2,818 at December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. The decrease in trouble debt restructured balances is due primarily to a payoff of a $0.5 million commercial credit, and receipt of $0.4 million from the SBA for the guaranteed portion of a commercial loan. There were no loans modified in 2021 that resulted in trouble debt restructurings (“TDRs”). There were four loans modified in 2020 and one loan modified in 2019 that resulted in TDRs. The four loans modified in 2020 were adversely impacted by COVID-19 and the economic slowdown and did not qualify for the CARES Act exclusion due to current and prior delinquencies. Two of the loans were to one restaurant and two of the loans were to retail related small businesses. The following tables summarize the loans whose terms have been modified resulting in TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019. Pre-Modification Post-Modification Number Outstanding Recorded Outstanding Recorded December 31, 2021 of Contracts Investment Recorded Investment Investment Commercial $ $ $ Commercial real estate Total $ $ $ Pre-Modification Post-Modification Number Outstanding Recorded Outstanding Recorded December 31, 2020 of Contracts Investment Recorded Investment Investment Commercial 1 $ 12 $ 12 $ 5 Commercial real estate 3 $ 1,073 $ 1,073 $ 1,046 Total 4 $ 1,085 $ 1,085 $ 1,051 Pre-Modification Post-Modification Number Outstanding Recorded Outstanding Recorded December 31, 2019 of Contracts Investment Recorded Investment Investment Commercial real estate 1 $ 346 $ 346 $ 241 There were no payment defaults within 12 months of its modification on loans considered TDRs for the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company received a significant number of requests to modify loan terms and/or defer principal and/or interest payments from borrowers affected by COVID-19, and had agreed to many such deferrals. The federal banking regulators issued guidance and encouraged banks to work prudently with, and provide short-term payment accommodations to borrowers affected by COVID-19. Section 4013 of the CARES Act includes a provision for the Company to opt out of applying the TDR guidance for certain loan modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 do not need to be classified as TDRs. Peoples applied this guidance. The payment modifications granted included principal only payments and principal and interest deferrals and generally ranged from 90 to 180 days. The modified loans were not considered past due unless the modified payment was delinquent. Similarly, FASB has confirmed that short-term modifications made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to loan customers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. Beginning in March 2020, the Company began receiving requests for temporary modifications to the repayment structure for borrower loans. During 2020, the Company made a total of 479 commercial loan and 512 consumer loan temporary modifications with principal balances totaling $330,119. At December 31, 2021, all loans have returned to original payment terms. |
