(2) Excludes accrued interest receivable on loans of $ 5.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,which is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected troubled debt restructuring. The following tables present the activity in the ACL by class of loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022, for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Quarter Ended Commercial Construction Commercial Farmland 1-4 family Multi-family Consumer Agricultural Overdrafts Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 3,600 $ 4,221 $ 13,765 $ 1,698 $ 5,818 $ 396 $ 762 $ 169 $ 4 $ 30,433 (Reversal of) provision for credit losses 230 ( 323 ) ( 1,569 ) 302 ( 119 ) 60 146 ( 13 ) 36 ( 1,250 ) Loans charged-off ( 119 ) — — — — — ( 17 ) — ( 67 ) ( 203 ) Recoveries 39 — 1 — 30 — 16 — 30 116 Ending balance $ 3,750 $ 3,898 $ 12,197 $ 2,000 $ 5,729 $ 456 $ 907 $ 156 $ 3 $ 29,096 For the Year Ended Commercial Construction Commercial Farmland 1-4 family Multi-family Consumer Agricultural Overdrafts Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 4,033 $ 4,735 $ 15,780 $ 1,220 $ 6,313 $ 363 $ 929 $ 239 $ 7 $ 33,619 (Reversal of) provision for credit losses ( 43 ) ( 515 ) ( 1,229 ) 478 ( 495 ) 33 ( 51 ) ( 78 ) 200 ( 1,700 ) Loans charged-off ( 411 ) — ( 816 ) — — — ( 151 ) — ( 263 ) ( 1,641 ) Recoveries 21 1 30 — — — 35 8 60 155 Ending balance $ 3,600 $ 4,221 $ 13,765 $ 1,698 $ 5,818 $ 396 $ 762 $ 169 $ 4 $ 30,433 Quarter Ended Commercial Construction Commercial Farmland 1-4 family Multi-family Consumer Agricultural Overdrafts Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 4,033 $ 4,735 $ 15,780 $ 1,220 $ 6,313 $ 363 $ 929 $ 239 $ 7 $ 33,619 Provision for credit losses ( 504 ) ( 538 ) 1,087 ( 163 ) 13 133 ( 29 ) ( 31 ) 32 — Loans charged-off ( 7 ) — ( 758 ) — — — ( 61 ) — ( 49 ) ( 875 ) Recoveries 7 1 — — — — 4 — 14 26 Ending balance $ 3,529 $ 4,198 $ 16,109 $ 1,057 $ 6,326 $ 496 $ 843 $ 208 $ 4 $ 32,770 D uring the year ended December 31, 2020, a total allowance for credit losses provision of $ 13,200 was recorded primarily to account for the estimated impact of COVID-19 on credit quality and resulted largely from changes to individual loan risk ratings, as well as COVID-specific qualitative factors primarily derived from changes in national GDP, Texas unemployment rates and national industry related CRE trends, all of which were impacted by the effects of COVID-19. During 2021, we recorded no provision in the first quarter, a $ 1,000 reverse provision in the second quarter and a $ 700 reverse provision in the third quarter. These provision reversals captured improvements that occurred to macroeconomic factors evaluated at the onset of the pandemic as part of the aforementioned COVID-specific qualitative factors, as well as risk rating upgrades for specific loans, which impacted the reserve calculations within our model. In the first quarter of 2022, we unwound the remaining COVID-specific qualitative factors and recorded an additional reverse provision of $ 1,250 to account for significant improvements in COVID-related health statistics and economic impacts. The Company uses the weighted-average remaining maturity ("WARM") method as the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The WARM method uses a historical average annual charge-off rate containing loss content over a historical lookback period and is used as a foundation for estimating the credit loss reserve for the remaining outstanding balances of loans in a segment at the balance sheet date. The average annual charge-off rate is applied to the contractual term, further adjusted for estimated prepayments, to determine the unadjusted historical charge-off rate. The calculation of the unadjusted historical charge-off rate is then adjusted, using qualitative factors, for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecast periods. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company’s judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, differences in loan-specific risk characteristics such as underwriting standards, portfolio mix, risk grades, delinquency level, or term. These qualitative factors serve to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio that are not reflected in our historic loss factors. Additionally, we have adjusted for changes in expected environmental and economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, and other relevant factors over the next 12 to 24 months. Management adjusted the historical loss experience for these expectations. No reversion adjustments were necessary, as the starting point for the Company’s estimate was a cumulative loss rate covering the expected contractual term of the portfolio. The ACL is measured on a collective segment basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Our loan portfolio is segmented first by regulatory call report code, and second, by internally identified risk grades for our commercial loan segments and by delinquency status for our consumer loan segments. We also have separate segments for our warehouse lines of credit, for our internally originated SBA loans, for our SBA loans acquired from Westbound Bank and for SBA-guaranteed PPP loans. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments. For loans that do not share general risk characteristics with segments, we estimate a specific reserve on an individual basis. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Assets are graded “pass” when the relationship exhibits acceptable credit risk and indicates repayment ability, tolerable collateral coverage and reasonable performance history. Lending relationships exhibiting potentially significant credit risk and marginal repayment ability and/or asset protection are graded “special mention.” Assets classified as “substandard” are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. Substandard graded loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets graded “doubtful” are substandard graded loans that have added characteristics that make collection or liquidation in full improbable. Loans that are on nonaccrual status are generally classified as substandard. In general, the loans in our portfolio have low historical credit losses. The Company closely monitors economic conditions and loan performance trends to manage and evaluate the exposure to credit risk. Key factors tracked by the Company and utilized in evaluating the credit quality of the loan portfolio include trends in delinquency ratios, the level of nonperforming assets, borrower’s repayment capacity, and collateral coverage.
