Management reviews and approves these policies, underwriting standards, and procedures on a regular basis and makes changes as appropriate. Management receives frequent reports related to loan originations, quality, concentrations, delinquencies, non-performing, and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions, both by type of loan and geography. Commercial – General and Specialized Commercial Real Estate Construction Consumer The allowance for loan losses was $29.1 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $24.2 million at December 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment was 1.38% at March 31, 2020 and 1.13% at December 31, 2019. The increase in the allowance for loan losses from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 is a result of economic effects from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the decline in oil and gas prices. The full extent of the impact on the economy and the Company’s customers is unknown at this time. Accordingly, additional provisions for loan losses may be necessary in future periods. The following table details the activity in the allowance for loan losses. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

These grades fit in one of the following categories: (i) pass, (ii) special mention, (iii) substandard, (iv) doubtful, or (v) loss. Loans categorized as loss are charged-off immediately. The grading of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default associated with the loan. The Company reviews the grades on loans as part of our on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio. Pass loans have financial factors or nature of collateral that are considered reasonable credit risks in the normal course of lending and encompass several grades that are assigned based on varying levels of risk, ranging from credits that are secured by cash or marketable securities, to watch credits which have all the characteristics of an acceptable credit risk but warrant more than the normal level of monitoring. Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loans at some future date. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize collection and present the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed. Substandard loans can be accruing or can be nonaccrual depending on the circumstances of the individual loans. Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. All doubtful loans are on nonaccrual. The following table summarizes the internal classifications of loans: Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Total March 31, 2020 Commercial real estate $ 614,829 $ 20,926 $ 5,984 $ — $ 641,739 Commercial - specialized 283,187 — 19,929 — 303,116 Commercial - general 418,316 — 6,434 — 424,750 Consumer: 1-4 family residential 350,874 — 5,666 — 356,540 Auto loans 212,094 — 818 — 212,912 Other consumer 71,878 — 284 — 72,162 Construction 97,586 — — — 97,586 Total $ 2,048,764 $ 20,926 $ 39,115 $ — $ 2,108,805 December 31, 2019 Commercial real estate $ 632,641 $ 22,313 $ 3,241 $ — $ 658,195 Commercial - specialized 307,239 — 2,266 — 309,505 Commercial - general 428,155 — 13,243 — 441,398 Consumer: 1-4 family residential 356,422 — 6,374 — 362,796 Auto loans 214,363 — 846 — 215,209 Other consumer 73,716 — 284 — 74,000 Construction 82,520 — — — 82,520 Total $ 2,095,056 $ 22,313 $ 26,254 $ — $ 2,143,623 Under section 4013 of the CARES Act, banks may elect to deem that loan modifications do not result in a TDR if they are (1) related to the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the national emergency or (B) December 31, 2020. The Company had not made an election as of March, 31, 2020. Additionally, other short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs under ASC Subtopic 310-40 and the Joint Interagency Regulatory Guidance. This includes short-term (e.g., up to six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented a short-term deferral modification program that complies with ASC Subtopic 310-40 and the Joint Interagency Regulatory Guidance. As such, there were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019. |
