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. There were no new FDMs made or modifications of existing FDMs during the three-and nine-months ended June 30, 2024. The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded investment in TDRs at June 30, 2023, prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02. There was $101,000 of specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at June 30, 2023. Accruing Nonaccrual Total (In thousands) June 30, 2023: Residential real estate $ 1,015 $ — $ 1,015 Commercial real estate 365 524 889 SBA commercial real estate — 1,625 1,625 Multifamily 327 — 327 Commercial business 666 — 666 SBA commercial business — 230 230 Total $ 2,373 $ 2,379 $ 4,752 The following table summarizes information regarding TDRs that were restructured during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023: Number of Pre-Modification Post-Modification Loans Principal Balance Principal Balance (Dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, 2023: Residential Real Estate 1 $ 31 $ 31 Total 1 $ 31 $ 31 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023: Residential Real Estate 1 $ 31 $ 31 Total 1 $ 31 $ 31 At June 30, 2023, the Company had committed to lend $1,000 to customers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs. There were no principal charge-offs as a result of loans previously designated as TDRs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. There were principal charge-offs totaling $6,000 as a result of loans previously designated as TDRs during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2023. 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- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, 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 $209.7 million, $209.6 million and $223.2 million at June 30, 2024, September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees expensed on SBA loans were $2,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2024 and a credit of $6,000 for the nine-months ended June 30, 2024. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees expensed on SBA loans were $35,000 and $70,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $457,000 and $1.4 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $578,000 and $1.7 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, 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-and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 (In thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 2,950 $ 3,727 $ 2,950 $ 3,790 Servicing rights capitalized 156 147 691 606 Amortization (140) (237) (420) (623) Direct write-offs (178) (263) (493) (578) Change in valuation allowance — — 60 179 Balance, end of period $ 2,788 $ 3,374 $ 2,788 $ 3,374 There was no valuation allowance related to SBA loan servicing rights at June 30, 2024. 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 sold the remaining residential MSRs during the quarter ended 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. 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 |
