We established our allowance in accordance with guidance provided in Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected losses inherent in the Company’s lending activities excluding loans accounted for under fair value. The allowance for credit losses is maintained through charges to the provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income as expected losses are estimated. Loans or portions thereof that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The Company performs periodic reviews of its loan and lease portfolios to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of those portfolios. The Company's allowance for credit losses includes a general component and an asset-specific component for collateral-dependent loans. To determine the asset-specific component of the allowance, the loans are evaluated individually based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company generally measures the asset-specific allowance as the difference between the net realizable value of loan collateral and the recorded investment of a loan. The general component of the allowance evaluates the impairments of pools of the loan portfolio collectively. It incorporates a historical valuation allowance and qualitative allowance. The historical valuation utilizes a vintage loss rate approach utilizing a third party software model. The vintage loss rate approach creates pools of loans based on the segments defined by management, and consists of commercial and industrial, construction, commercial - owner occupied, commercial - non-owner occupied, residential - 1 to 4 family, residential - 1 to 4 family investment, residential - multifamily, and consumer. The loan pools are aggregated by origination year. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, are allocated by the year of charge-off to each loan pool. An average life is prescribed to a pool of loans that were originated in a particular year. The actual charge-offs as a percent of total loans are calculated for each historical year, and projected for future years for each year within the average life time horizon. The sum of the actual charge-offs and projected charge-offs are divided by the average amortized origination amount for each respective year. Those charge-off percentages are added together to obtain an aggregated vintage loss percentage which is then multiplied by the outstanding loan balances to obtain a reserve requirement. The qualitative allowance component is based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. It is generally determined by evaluating, among other things: (i) the experience, ability and effectiveness of the Bank's lending management and staff; (ii) the effectiveness of the Bank's lending policies, procedures and internal controls;(iii) volume and severity of loan credit quality; (iv) nature and volume of portfolio and term of loans (v) the composition and concentrations of credit; (vi) the effectiveness of the internal loan review system; and (vii) national and local economic trends and conditions, and industry conditions. Management evaluates the degree of risk that each one of these components has on the quality of the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each component is determined to have either a high, high-moderate, moderate, low-moderate or low degree of risk. The results are then input into a "general allocation matrix" to determine an appropriate general valuation allowance. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of the ACL. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is generally reversed against interest income. The process of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses requires a high degree of estimate and judgment. It is reasonably possible that actual outcomes may differ from our estimates. Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $896.0 thousand and $499.0 thousand, respectively, on exposures totaling $177.7 million and $133.7 million, respectively. The following tables present the information regarding the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023: Real Estate Mortgage Commercial and Industrial Construction Commercial Owner Occupied Commercial Non-owner Occupied Residential 1 to 4 Family Residential 1 to 4 Family Investment Residential Multifamily Consumer Total (Dollars in thousands) Three months ended June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 $ 1,060 $ 3,033 $ 1,691 $ 5,386 $ 9,335 $ 9,596 $ 1,747 $ 70 $ 31,918 Charge-offs — — — — — — — (21) (21) Recoveries 2 — 1 — — — — — 3 Provisions (benefits) 6 959 (156) 28 (265) 87 (144) 10 525 Ending Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 1,068 $ 3,992 $ 1,536 $ 5,414 $ 9,070 $ 9,683 $ 1,603 $ 59 $ 32,425 Allowance for credit losses Six months ended June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 $ 926 $ 3,347 $ 1,795 $ 7,108 $ 9,061 $ 8,783 $ 1,049 $ 62 $ 32,131 Charge-offs — — — — — — — (21) (21) Recoveries 24 — 1 — — — — — 25 Provisions (benefits) 118 645 (260) (1,694) 9 900 554 18 290 Ending Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 1,068 $ 3,992 $ 1,536 $ 5,414 $ 9,070 $ 9,683 $ 1,603 $ 59 $ 32,425 During the quarter, the increase to the Construction portfolio was due to an increase in the portfolio balance that increased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. The decrease to the Commercial Owner Occupied, Residential 1 to 4 Family, and the Residential Multifamily portfolios is driven by changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. For the year to date, the increase in the Construction and Residential Multifamily portfolios was due to increases in the portfolio balances that increased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. The increase in the Residential 1 to 4 Family Investment portfolio was due to increase to the qualitative factors related to concentration and problem loan levels within the portfolio segments. The decrease to the Commercial Owner Occupied and Commercial Non-owner Occupied portfolios was due to decreases in the portfolio balances that decreased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments.

The credit provision during the quarter to the Commercial and Industrial and Residential 1-4 Family Investment segments were largely driven by declines or slowdowns to growth within the portfolio that lowered the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to loan volume within the portfolio segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the credit provision to the Construction, Commercial Owner Occupied, Residential 1 to 4 Family, and Residential 1 to 4 Family Investment segments was largely driven by declines or slowdowns to growth within the portfolio that lowered loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to loan volume within the portfolio segments, partially offset by increases in balances in the Construction and Residential 1 - 4 Family Investment segments.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. Grades 1 through 4 are considered “Pass”. A description of the general characteristics of the seven risk grades is as follows: 1. Good : Borrower exhibits the strongest overall financial condition and represents the most creditworthy profile. 2. Satisfactory (A) : Borrower reflects a well-balanced financial condition, demonstrates a high level of creditworthiness and typically will have a strong banking relationship with the Bank. 3. Satisfactory (B) : Borrower exhibits a balanced financial condition and does not expose the Bank to more than a normal or average overall amount of risk. Loans are considered fully collectable. 4. Watch List : Borrower reflects a fair financial condition, but there exists an overall greater than average risk. Risk is deemed acceptable by virtue of increased monitoring and control over borrowings. Probability of timely repayment is present. 5. Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) : Financial condition is such that assets in this category have a potential weakness or pose unwarranted financial risk to the Bank even though the asset value is not currently individually evaluated. The asset does not currently warrant adverse classification but if not corrected could weaken and could create future increased risk exposure. Includes loans that require an increased degree of monitoring or servicing as a result of internal or external changes. 6. Substandard : This classification represents more severe cases of #5 (OAEM) characteristics that require increased monitoring. Assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral. Asset has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that impairs the ability to repay debt and jeopardizes the timely liquidation or realization of the collateral at the asset’s net book value. 7. Doubtful : Assets which have all the weaknesses inherent in those assets classified #6 (Substandard) but the risks are more severe relative to financial deterioration in capital and/or asset value; accounting/evaluation techniques may be questionable and the overall possibility for collection in full is highly improbable. Borrowers in this category require constant monitoring, are considered work-out loans and present the potential for future loss to the Bank.
