Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023 was estimated using the current expected credit loss model. The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the loans. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified a loan where the individual borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The following tables present the activity in the allowance for credit losses related to loans held for investment by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2023: Commercial Residential Commercial and December 31, 2023 Real Estate Real Estate Construction Industrial Total Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 27,951 $ 11,694 $ 5,781 $ 38 $ 45,464 Adoption of ASU 2016-13 865 1,151 (3,633) (34) (1,651) Adoption of ASU 2022-02 (11) — 391 — 380 Provision for (recovery of) credit losses (8,433) 605 (1,158) 142 (8,844) Charge offs (6,478) — — — (6,478) Recoveries 428 100 5 — 533 Total ending balance $ 14,322 $ 13,550 $ 1,386 $ 146 $ 29,404 The following tables present the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as determined in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables Commercial Residential Commercial Lines of December 31, 2022 Real Estate Real Estate Construction Credit Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 32,202 $ 12,608 $ 11,730 $ 8 $ 56,548 Provision for (recovery of) loan losses (5,105) 3,060 (7,919) 30 (9,934) Charge offs (197) (4,064) — — (4,261) Recoveries 1,051 90 1,970 — 3,111 Total ending balance $ 27,951 $ 11,694 $ 5,781 $ 38 $ 45,464 Commercial Residential Commercial Lines of December 31, 2021 Real Estate Real Estate Construction Credit Total Allowance for loan losses: Beginning balance $ 32,366 $ 21,942 $ 17,988 $ 91 $ 72,387 Provision for (recovery of) loan losses (1,578) (2,052) (4,552) (83) (8,265) Charge offs — (7,921) (1,965) — (9,886) Recoveries 1,414 639 259 — 2,312 Total ending balance $ 32,202 $ 12,608 $ 11,730 $ 8 $ 56,548 Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company individually evaluated commercial real estate loans, construction loans and commercial lines of credit for impairment, and large homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate loans and other consumer loans, were collectively evaluated for impairment.

Also, the recorded investment excludes accrued interest receivable on loans, which was not significant. Also presented in the table above is the average recorded investment of the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the period that the impaired loans were impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Factors considered by management in determining if a loan was impaired include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received under the cash basis method. The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of the loans for the period reported. Nonaccrual Loans and Past Due Loans Past due loans held for investment are loans contractually past due 30 days or more as to principal or interest payments. A loan held for investment is classified as nonaccrual, and the accrual of interest on such loan is discontinued, when the contractual payment of principal or interest becomes 90 days past due. In addition, a loan may be placed on nonaccrual at any other time management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest according to the contractual terms, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan held for investment may remain in accrual status if it is in the process of collection and well secured. When a loan held for investment is placed in nonaccrual status, interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is applied to the principal balance of the loan until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status after all principal and interest amounts contractually due are made and future payments are reasonably assured. The following table presents the total amortized cost basis of loans on nonaccrual status, the amortized cost basis of loans on nonaccrual status with no related allowance for credit losses and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at December 31, 2023 and 2022: December 31, 2023 2022 Nonaccrual Past Due 90 Nonaccrual Past Due 90 With No Days or More With No Days or More Nonaccrual Allowance for and Still Nonaccrual Allowance for and Still Loans Credit Losses Accruing Loans Credit Losses Accruing Residential real estate: Residential first mortgage $ 8,942 $ 4,079 $ 31 $ 33,501 $ — $ 35 Residential second mortgage — — — 189 — — Commercial real estate — — — — — — Total $ 8,942 $ 4,079 $ 31 $ 33,690 $ — $ 35 At December 31, 2023, the Company had nonaccrual loans of $8,942 in its held for investment loan portfolio. The decrease in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 2022 is primarily due to nonaccrual loans of $28,637 that were transferred to held for sale in March 2023 and subsequently sold in May 2023. On the transfer, a charge off on these nonaccrual loans of $4,231 was recorded to the allowance for credit losses. The remainder of the decrease in nonaccrual loans is primarily due to loans of $4,162 that were paid in full and loans of $5,791 that were returned to accrual status. Partially offsetting these decreases, loans totaling $14,093 were added to nonaccrual status, a portion of which were transferred to held for sale and sold in May 2023. The total interest income that would have been recorded if the nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms was $401, $2,028 and $2,936 for the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company does not record interest income on nonaccrual loans.

As of December 31, 2023, the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans was $4,004. These loans were collateralized by residential real estate property and the fair value of collateral on substantially all collateral-dependent loans were significantly in excess of their amortized cost basis. Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearances, term extensions, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Historically, the Company has provided loan forbearances to residential borrowers when mandated and modified construction loans by providing term extensions. The Company did not have any loans held for investment to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not have any loans held for investment to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were previously modified that subsequently defaulted during the year ended December 31, 2023. Credit Quality Indicators The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate and other consumer loans, and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and industrial, construction and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed at least quarterly. 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 Company’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 loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered pass-rated loans. For residential and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the accrual status of the loan.
