ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES | ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASESOur allowance for credit losses represents our current estimate of expected credit losses in the portfolio at a specific point in time. This estimate includes credit losses associated with loans and leases evaluated on a collective or pool basis, as well as expected credit losses of the individually evaluated loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly, and in doing so relies on various factors including, but not limited to, assessment of historical loss experience, delinquency and non-accrual trends, portfolio growth, underlying collateral coverage and current economic conditions, and economic forecasts over a reasonable and supportable period of time. This evaluation is subjective and requires material estimates that may change over time. The calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases takes into consideration the inherent risk identified within each of the Company’s three primary loan portfolios. The lifetime loss rates are estimated by analyzing a combination of internal and external data related to historical performance of each loan pool over a complete economic cycle. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented under CECL methodology. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more details on the Company’s policy on allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. The following discusses key characteristics and risks within each primary loan portfolio: Private Banking Loans Our private banking lending business is conducted on a national basis. This loan portfolio primarily includes loans made to high-net-worth individuals, trusts and businesses that are typically secured by marketable securities, cash, and/or cash value life insurance. The Company actively monitors the value of the collateral securing these loans on a daily basis and requires borrowers to continually replenish such collateral as a result of changes in its fair value. Therefore, it is expected that the fair value of the collateral value securing each loan will exceed the loan’s amortized cost and no allowance for credit loss would be required under ASC 326-20-35-6, “Financial Assets Secured by Collateral Maintenance Provisions.” This portfolio also has some loans that are secured by residential real estate or other financial assets and some that are unsecured loans. The primary sources of repayment for these loans are the income and/or assets of the borrower. The underlying collateral is the most important indicator of risk for this loan portfolio. The overall lower risk profile of this portfolio is driven by loans secured by cash, marketable securities and/or cash value life insurance, which were 99.2% and 99.0% of total private banking loans as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Commercial Banking: Commercial and Industrial Loans and Leases This loan portfolio primarily includes loans and leases made to financial services and other service and/or manufacturing companies generally for the purposes of financing production, operating capacity, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, acquisitions and/or recapitalizations. Cash flow from the borrower’s operations is the primary source of repayment for these loans and leases; however, most loans are collateralized by commercial assets. The borrower’s industry and local and regional economic conditions are important indicators of risk for this loan portfolio. Collateral for these types of loans at times does not have sufficient value in a distressed or liquidation scenario to satisfy the outstanding debt. C&I loans collateralized by marketable securities are treated the same as private banking loans for purposes of the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. Commercial Banking: Commercial Real Estate Loans This loan portfolio includes loans secured by commercial purpose real estate, including both owner-occupied properties and investment properties for various purposes including office, industrial, multifamily, retail, hospitality, healthcare and self-storage. The primary source of repayment for CRE loans secured by owner-occupied properties is cash flow from the borrower’s operations. Individual project cash flows, global cash flows and liquidity from the developer, or the sale of the property, are the primary sources of repayment for CRE loans secured by investment properties. Also included in this portfolio are commercial construction loans to finance the construction or renovation of structures as well as to finance the acquisition and development of raw land for various purposes. The increased level of risk for these loans is generally confined to the construction period. If problems arise, the project may not be completed and as such, may not provide sufficient cash flow on its own to service the debt or have sufficient value in a liquidation to cover the outstanding principal. The underlying purpose and collateral of the loans are important indicators of risk for this loan portfolio. Additional risks exist and are dependent on several factors such as the condition of the local and regional economies, whether or not the project is owner-occupied, the type of project, and the experience and resources of the developer. On a monthly basis, management monitors various credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio, including delinquency, non-performing status, changes in risk ratings, changes in the underlying performance of the borrowers and other relevant factors. On a daily basis, the Company monitors the collateral of loans secured by cash, marketable securities and/or cash value life insurance within the private banking portfolio which further reduces the risk profile of that portfolio. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company’s policy for determining past due status of loans. Loan risk ratings are assigned based upon the creditworthiness of the borrower and the quality of the collateral for loans secured by marketable securities. Loan risk ratings are reviewed on an ongoing basis according to internal policies and applicable regulatory guidance. Loans within the pass rating are believed to have a lower risk of loss than loans that are risk rated as special mention, substandard or doubtful, which are believed to have an increasing risk of loss. Management also monitors the loan portfolio through a formal periodic review process. All non-pass rated loans are reviewed monthly and higher risk-rated loans within the pass category are reviewed three times a year. The Company’s risk ratings are consistent with regulatory guidance and are as follows: Pass – A pass loan is currently performing in accordance with its contractual terms. Special Mention – A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that warrant management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or in our credit position at some future date. Economic and market conditions beyond the customer’s control may in the future necessitate this classification. Substandard – A substandard loan is not adequately protected by the net worth and/or paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful – A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans are considered non-performing when interest and principal are 90 days or more past due or management has determined that it is probable the borrower is unable to meet payments as they become due. The risk of loss is generally highest for non-performing loans.

There was no interest income recognized on individually evaluated loans that were also on non-accrual status for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest income. The Company estimates allowance for credit losses individually for loans that do not share similar risk characteristics, including non-accrual loans and loans designated as TDRs, using a discounted cash flow method or based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Based on those evaluations, there were specific reserves totaling $406,000 and $4.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company’s policy on evaluating loans for expected credit losses and interest income.

The aggregate recorded investment in individually evaluated loans with terms modified through a TDR also accruing interest was $12.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no unused commitments on loans designated as TDR as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The modifications made to restructured loans typically consist of an extension of the payment terms or the deferral of principal payments. Loans with an amortized cost of approximately $3.0 million as of March 31, 2022, that have been modified as a TDR within the prior 12 months, were 30 days past due as of March 31, 2022. There were no loans modified as TDRs within 12 months of the corresponding balance sheet date with payment defaults during the three months ended March, 31, 2021. There were no loans newly designated as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The financial effects of our modifications made to loans newly designated as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2021, were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (Dollars in thousands) Count Recorded Investment at the time of Modification Current Recorded Investment Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases at the time of Modification Current Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Commercial Real Estate: Extended term, deferred principal 2 $ 4,454 $ 4,454 $ 445 $ 445 Total 2 $ 4,454 $ 4,454 $ 445 $ 445 Other Real Estate Owned As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of OREO was $2.0 million.
