the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the accounting for TDRs while establishing a new standard for the treatment of modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties (Financial Difficulty Modifications, or “FDMs”). As such, effective with the adoption of the standard, the Company prospectively will not include FDMs in the calculation of nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets or classified assets. Prior period data, which included TDRs, has not been adjusted. An FDM may result when a borrower is in financial distress and may be in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, a term extension or a significant payment delay. In some cases, the Company may provide multiple types of modifications for a single loan. One type of modification, such as payment delay, may be granted initially. However, if the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another modification, such as term extension and/or interest rate reduction may be granted. Additionally, modifications with a term extension or interest rate reduction are intended to reduce the borrower’s monthly payment, while modifications with a payment delay, which typically allow borrowers to make monthly payments or interest only payments for a period of time, are structured to cure the payment defaults by making delinquent payments due at maturity. Payment deferrals up to six months have minimal financial impact since the deferred payments are paid at maturity. There were no new FDMs made or modifications of existing FDMs during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded investment in TDRs at December 31, 2022, prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02. There was $125,000 of specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at December 31, 2022. Accruing Nonaccrual Total (In thousands) December 31, 2022: Residential real estate $ 1,021 $ — $ 1,021 Commercial real estate 383 420 803 SBA commercial real estate — 1,604 1,604 Multifamily 346 — 346 Commercial business 830 — 830 SBA commercial business — 262 262 Total $ 2,580 $ 2,286 $ 4,866 There were no TDRs that were restructured during the three-months ended December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2022, the Company had committed to lend $1,000 to customers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs. There were principal charge-offs totaling $3,000 as a result of loans previously designated as TDRs during the three-month period ended December 31, 2022. In the event that a TDR subsequently defaults, the Company evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance for loan losses may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying amount of the loan. During the three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any TDRs that were modified within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default. SBA Loan Servicing Rights The Company originates loans to commercial customers under the SBA 7(a) program and other programs, and typically sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans with servicing rights retained. Loan servicing rights on originated SBA loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized SBA servicing rights are then amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Impairment of SBA servicing rights is assessed using the present value of estimated future cash flows. The aggregate fair value of SBA loan servicing rights approximates its carrying value. A valuation model employed by an independent third party calculates the present value of future cash flows and is used to estimate fair value at the date of sale and on a quarterly basis for impairment analysis purposes. Management periodically compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the SBA loan servicing rights include the discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions. For purposes of impairment, risk characteristics such as interest rate, loan type, term and investor type are used to stratify the SBA loan servicing rights. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The unpaid principal balance of SBA loans serviced for others was $211.3 million, $209.6 million and $237.9 million at December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees expensed on SBA loans were a credit of $9,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 compared to a debit of $21,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $464,000 and $553,000 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net servicing income and costs related to SBA loans are included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. An analysis of SBA loan servicing rights for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows: 2023 2022 (In thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 2,950 $ 3,790 Servicing rights capitalized 257 198 Amortization (143) (195) Direct write-offs (217) (141) Change in valuation allowance 60 (351) Balance, end of period $ 2,907 $ 3,301 There was no valuation allowance related to SBA loan servicing rights at December 31, 2023. There was a valuation allowance of $60,000 related to SBA loan servicing rights at September 30, 2023. Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”) The Company originates residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market and retains servicing for certain of these loans when they are sold. MSRs retained for originated loans that have been sold are accounted for at fair value. The fair value of MSRs are determined using the present value of estimated expected net servicing income using assumptions about expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rate, servicing costs, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. Changes in these underlying assumptions could cause the fair value of MSRs to change significantly in the future. Changes in fair value of MSRs are recorded in mortgage banking income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. MSRs are subject to changes in value from, among other things, changes in interest rates, prepayments of the underlying loans and changes in the credit quality of the underlying loans. At September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into a letter of intent to sell substantially all of the Company’s residential MSRs, which closed on November 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell the remaining residential MSRs at December 31, 2023 in the quarter ending March 31, 2024. Due to the pending residential MSR sales, a valuation model was not used to calculate the fair value of residential MSRs September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023. The fair value was estimated using known information, including the anticipated sale prices, estimated expenses, and contingencies related to the pending residential MSR sales, which represent Level 3 fair value inputs. Prior to September 30, 2023, a valuation model employed by an independent third party calculated the present value of future cash flows and was used to value the MSRs on a monthly basis. Management periodically compared the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Range of Assumption (Weighted Average) Assumption September 30, 2023 Discount rate 9.44% to 14.50% (9.51%) Prepayment rate 5.00% to 85.82% (6.82%) The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others was $83.1 million and $4.77 billion at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The reason for the significant decline was the sale of substantially all of the Company’s residential MSRs during the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, which also resulted in a significant reduction in custodial escrow balances. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing loan servicing and other liabilities were $608,000 and $47.9 million at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees (net of direct servicing expenses), late fees and other ancillary fees related to residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $1,000 and $2.4 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees are included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of income. Changes in the carrying value of MSRs accounted for at fair value for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: 2023 2022 (In thousands) Fair value, beginning of period $ 59,768 $ 63,263 Servicing rights capitalized 509 142 Changes in fair value related to: Loan repayments (666) (1,023) Sales (58,765) — Change in valuation model inputs or assumptions (137) (217) Balance, end of period $ 709 $ 62,165 Nonresidential MSRs The Company also periodically sells single tenant net lease loans with servicing rights retained. Loan servicing rights on these nonresidential mortgage loans are initially recorded at fair value and are then amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Impairment of nonresidential MSRs is assessed using the present value of estimated future cash flows. The aggregate fair value of nonresidential MSRs approximates its carrying value. A valuation model employed by management calculates the present value of future cash flows and is used to estimate fair value at the date of sale and on a quarterly basis for impairment analysis purposes. Management periodically compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the nonresidential MSRs include the discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The unpaid principal balance of nonresidential mortgage loans serviced for others was $40.3 million and $40.4 million at December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and other ancillary fees related to nonresidential mortgage loans serviced for others were $4,000 and $9,000 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees on nonresidential mortgage loans serviced for others are included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. An analysis of nonresidential MSRs for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows: 2023 2022 |
