The most significant market and environmental factors include, but are not limited to (1) the general level of interest rates, (2) the relationship between shorter-term interest rates and longer-term interest rates (referred to as the “slope” of the interest rate yield curve), (3) general bond market liquidity, (4) the recent and expected near-term volume of new issuances of similar debt securities, and (5) changes in the market values of individual loan collateral underlying mortgage-backed debt securities. Changes in interest rates affect the fair market values of debt securities by influencing the discount rate applied to the securities’ future expected cash flows. The higher the discount rate, the lower the resultant security price. Conversely, the lower the discount rate, the higher the resultant security price. In addition, the cumulative amount and timing of undiscounted cash flows of debt securities may be also affected by changes in interest rates. For any given level of movement in the general market and economic environmental factors described above, the magnitude of any particular debt security’s price changes will also depend heavily upon security-specific factors such as (1) the duration of the security, (2) imbedded optionality contractually granted to the issuer of the security with respect to principal prepayments, and (3) changes in the level of market premiums demanded by investors for securities with imbedded credit risk (where applicable). The Company conducts a formal review of investment securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of OTTI. The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the statement of condition date. Under these circumstances, OTTI is considered to have occurred (1) if we intend to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not anticipated to be sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. The guidance requires that credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while non-credit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Non-credit-related OTTI is based on other factors, including illiquidity and changes in the general interest rate environment. Presentation of OTTI is made in the consolidated statement of income on a gross basis, including both the portion recognized in earnings as well as the portion recorded in OCI. The gross OTTI would then be offset by the amount of non-credit-related OTTI, showing the net as the impact on earnings. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss in securities within the portfolio as of March 31, 2019 represents OTTI. At March 31, 2019, the Bank had the following securities, in a loss position for 12 months or more relative to their amortized historical cost, which were deemed to have no credit impairment, thus, the disclosed unrealized losses relate directly to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the individual securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. • Seventeen state and political subdivision securities, categorized as available-for-sale, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $10.8 million and an aggregate market value of $10.7 million (unrealized aggregate loss of $136,000, or 1.27%). Each of the securities maintains a credit rating established by one or more nationally-recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) that is well above the level required to be considered minimum investment grade and, therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • Seven corporate securities, categorized as available-for-sale, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $6.2 million and an aggregate market value of $6.0 million (unrealized loss of $177,000, or 2.95%). These securities each maintain credit ratings established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered investment grade and, therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • Four privately-issued asset-backed securities, categorized as available-for-sale, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $5.6 million and an aggregate market value of $5.6 million (unrealized loss of $38,000, or 0.67%). These securities each maintain credit ratings established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • Seven privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligation securities, categorized as available-for-sale, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $12.0 million and an aggregate market value of $11.9 million (unrealized loss of $136,000, or 1.14%). These securities each maintain credit ratings established by one or more NRSRO above the level considered to be minimum investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • Three privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligation securities, categorized as available-for-sale, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $4.2 million and an aggregate market value of $4.2 million (unrealized loss of $54,000, or 1.29%). These securities were not rated at the time of their issuance by any NRSRO but each security remains significantly collateralized through subordination. Therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • Six state and political subdivision securities, categorized as held-to-maturity, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $2.4 million and an aggregate market value of $2.3 million (unrealized aggregate loss of $27,000, or 1.17%). Three of these securities with an aggregate book value of $2.0 million each maintain a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO that is well above the minimum level required to be considered investment grade and, therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. The remaining three securities have an aggregate book value of $307,000 and are issuances of a local community school district well known to the management of the Company. The aggregate unrealized loss for these securities totals approximately $1,000 and no OTTI is deemed present. • Three corporate securities, categorized as held-to-maturity, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $3.4 million and an aggregate market value of $3.3 million (unrealized aggregate loss of $100,000, or 3.01%). This security maintains a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered investment grade and, therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • One privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligation security, categorized as held-to-maturity, with an amortized historical cost of $947,000 and a market value of $937,000 (unrealized loss of $11,000, or 1.19%). The security maintains a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO that is well above the minimum level required to be considered investment grade and, therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. Therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. • One privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligation security, categorized as held-to-maturity, with an amortized historical cost of $699,000 and a market value of $693,000 (unrealized loss of $6,000, or 0.91%). The security was not rated at its issuance by any NRSRO but remains significantly collateralized through subordination and, therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present. All other securities with market values less than their amortized historical costs are issued by United States agencies or government sponsored enterprises and consist of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and direct agency financings. These positions in US government agency and government-sponsored enterprises are deemed to have no credit impairment, thus, the disclosed unrealized losses relate directly to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the individual securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost. In determining whether OTTI has occurred for equity securities, the Company considers the applicable factors described above and the length of time the equity security’s fair value has been below the carrying amount. The Company had no equity securities that were impaired at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Gross realized gains (losses) on sales of securities for the indicated periods are detailed below: For the three months ended March 31, (In thousands) 2019 2018 Realized gains on investments $ 222 $ 27 Realized losses on investments (143 ) (134 ) $ 79 $ (107 ) Gains on equity securities $ 41 $ 13 $ 41 $ 13 As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, securities with a fair value of $100.0 million and $69.8 million, respectively, were pledged to collateralize certain municipal deposit relationships. As of the same dates, securities with a fair value of $16.4 million and $19.5 million were pledged against certain borrowing arrangements. Management has reviewed its mortgage-backed securities portfolios and determined that, to the best of its knowledge, little exposure exists to sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgages. With limited exceptions in the Company’s investment portfolio involving the most senior tranches of securitized bonds, the Company is not in the practice of investing in, or originating, these types of investments or loans. |
