Upon adoption, the allowance for credit losses was increased by $9.1 million , which included a $563,000 increase to the allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses, with no impact to the consolidated statement of income. We recorded a $30.0 million provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2020 , compared to $100.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. The decreased provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from a decrease in charge-offs. We recorded $1.6 million in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $74.1 million during the second quarter of 2020 and $36.9 million during the third quarter of 2019. Criticized loans totaled $1.1 billion at September 30, 2020 , compared to $584.1 million at December 31, 2019 and $536.3 million at September 30, 2019 . Criticized loan levels have remained heightened throughout 2020 due to the downgrade of loans to borrowers that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or that are in categories that are expected to be more significantly impacted by COVID-19. A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The following table summarizes collateral-dependent gross loans held for investment by collateral type as follows: Collateral Type (in thousands) Business Assets Real Property Oil/Gas Mineral Reserves Rolling Stock U.S. Government Guaranty Total September 30, 2020 Commercial $ 26,243 $ — $ — $ 774 $ 544 $ 27,561 Energy — — 41,102 — — 41,102 Real estate Other — 5,650 — — — 5,650 Total collateral-dependent loans held for investment $ 26,243 $ 5,650 $ 41,102 $ 774 $ 544 $ 74,313 The table below provides an age analysis of our loans held for investment: (in thousands) 30-59 Days Past Due 60-89 Days Past Due 90 Days or More Past Due(1) Total Past Due Non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2020(2) Current Total Non-accrual With No Allowance September 30, 2020 Commercial $ 25,387 $ 1,650 $ 12,248 $ 39,285 $ 62,511 $ 8,685,121 $ 8,786,917 $ 19,367 Energy 20,670 — 1,995 22,665 73,811 872,517 968,993 25,090 Mortgage finance loans — — — — — 9,378,104 9,378,104 — Real estate CRE 24,158 9,619 1,250 35,027 4,265 3,821,307 3,860,599 4,028 RBF — — — — — 971,775 971,775 — Other 1,018 — — 1,018 21,141 912,568 934,727 20,796 Secured by 1-4 family 897 497 403 1,797 218 343,556 345,571 — Total loans held for investment $ 72,130 $ 11,766 $ 15,896 $ 99,792 $ 161,946 $ 24,984,948 $ 25,246,686 $ 69,281 (1) Loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $11.9 million . These loans are generally secured by obligations of insurance carriers to refund premiums on canceled insurance policies. The receipt of the refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date. (2) As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , none of our non-accrual loans were earning interest income on a cash basis. Additionally, no interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 . Accrued interest of $1.0 million was reversed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 . On January 1, 2020, the date we adopted CECL, non-accrual loans totaled $225.4 million , and included $88.6 million in commercial loans, $125.0 million in energy loans, $9.4 million in CRE loans, $881,000 in real estate-other loans and $1.4 million in secured by 1-4 family loans. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , we did not have any loans considered restructured that were not on non-accrual. Of the non-accrual loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , $47.7 million and $35.1 million , respectively, met the criteria for restructured. These loans had no unfunded commitments at their respective balance sheet dates. The following table details the recorded investment at September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 of loans restructured during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 by type of modification: Extended Maturity Adjusted Payment Schedule Total (in thousands, except number of contracts) Number of Contracts Balance at Period End Number of Contracts Balance at Period End Number of Contracts Balance at Period End Nine months ended September 30, 2020 Commercial loans 2 $ 7,636 2 $ 14,663 4 $ 22,299 Energy loans 1 5,969 3 13,469 4 19,438 Total 3 $ 13,605 5 $ 28,132 8 $ 41,737 Nine months ended September 30, 2019 Commercial loans 1 $ 1,824 — $ — $ 1 $ 1,824 Energy loans 1 3,941 — — 1 3,941 Total 2 $ 5,765 — $ — 2 $ 5,765 Restructured loans generally include terms to temporarily place the loan on interest only, extend the payment terms or reduce the interest rate. We did not forgive any principal on the above restructured loans. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, all of the above restructured loans were on non-accrual. The restructuring of the loans did not have a significant impact on our allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 or 2019 . As of September 30, 2020 and 2019 , we did not have any loans that were restructured within the last 12 months that subsequently defaulted. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a short-term modification program in late March 2020 to provide temporary payment relief to borrowers who meet the program's qualifications. This program allows for a deferral of payments for 90 days, which we may extend for an additional 90 days, for a maximum of 180 days on a cumulative basis. The deferred payments along with interest accrued during the deferral period are due and payable on the maturity date of the existing loan. Through September 30, 2020 , we granted temporary modifications on 483 loans with a total outstanding balance of $1.3 billion , resulting in the deferral of $10.7 million in interest payments. As of September 30, 2020 , 73 loans with a total outstanding balance of $166.2 million remain on deferral, of which $61.2 million have been granted a second deferral. Under the applicable guidance, none of these loans were considered restructured as of September 30, 2020. |
