The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans as well as non-homogeneous residential real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard. Loans 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 have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. COVID-19 Supplemental information. The loan modifications and payment deferrals established in accordance with the CARES Act and Interagency Statements disclosed in Note 1 did not result in immediate credit risk modifications. The impacted credits will continue to be monitored and assessed as the sustained impact of COVID-19 becomes better understood. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. The following table excludes deferred loan fees and includes PCI loans, which are included in the “Substandard” column. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019: Pass Special Substandard Total March 31, 2020 Construction and land development $ 627,178 $ — $ — $ 627,178 Commercial real estate: Nonfarm, nonresidential 946,120 4,012 5,216 955,348 Other 42,610 — — 42,610 Residential real estate: Closed-end 1-4 family 453,892 819 1,899 456,610 Other 188,830 — 3,146 191,976 Commercial and industrial 543,565 600 37,433 581,598 Consumer and other 4,454 — — 4,454 $ 2,806,649 $ 5,431 $ 47,694 $ 2,859,774 Pass Special Substandard Total December 31, 2019 Construction and land development $ 591,293 $ 248 $ — $ 591,541 Commercial real estate: Nonfarm, nonresidential 941,260 997 1,764 944,021 Other 49,891 — — 49,891 Residential real estate: Closed-end 1-4 family 452,363 825 2,732 455,920 Other 185,170 — 2,511 187,681 Commercial and industrial 539,442 943 42,256 582,641 Consumer and other 4,769 — — 4,769 $ 2,764,188 $ 3,013 $ 49,263 $ 2,816,464 Troubled Debt Restructurings |
