Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the Allowance) | (6) Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the Allowance) The Allowance is evaluated on at least a quarterly basis, as losses are estimated to be probable and incurred. The provision for loan and lease losses increase or decrease the ALLL, if deemed necessary. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the Allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the Allowance. The Allowance is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that are probable and estimable. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the Allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

Loans and Leases by Credit Ratings As part of the process of determining the Allowance to the different segments of the loan and lease portfolio, Management considers certain credit quality indicators. For the commercial mortgage, construction and commercial and industrial loan segments, periodic reviews of the individual loans are performed by Management. The results of these reviews are reflected in the risk grade assigned to each loan. These internally assigned grades are as follows: ● Pass – Loans considered to be satisfactory with no indications of deterioration. ● 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 payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans 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. ● 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, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loan balances classified as doubtful have been reduced by partial charge-offs and are carried at their net realizable values. The following table details the carrying value of loans and leases by portfolio segment based on the credit quality indicators used to determine the Allowance as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively: December 31, 2021 Special (dollars in thousands) Pass mention Substandard Doubtful Total Commercial mortgage $ 481,551 29,452 5,925 — 516,928 Home equity lines and loans 50,908 — 1,391 — 52,299 Construction 151,608 9,297 — — 160,905 Commercial and industrial 236,298 14,603 42,870 — 293,771 Small business loans 112,096 — 2,062 — 114,158 Paycheck Protection Program loans 90,194 — — — 90,194 Main Street Lending Program loans 597 — — — 597 Total $ 1,123,252 53,352 52,248 — 1,228,852 Commercial and industrial loans classified as substandard totaled $42.9 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $33.9 million, from $9.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was driven by the $13.8 million commercial loan relationship in the advertising industry that became a non-performing loan relationship late in 2021, discussed above. The remaining $20.1 million of increase year-over-year was comprised of 18 different loan relationships with no specific industry concentration.

The most common concessions granted include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (a) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt, (b) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, (c) a temporary period of interest-only payments, (d) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or remaining term of the loan, and (e) for leases, a reduced lease payment. A less common concession granted is the forgiveness of a portion of the principal. The determination of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties takes into account not only the current financial condition of the borrower, but also the potential financial condition of the borrower, were a concession not granted. The determination of whether a concession has been granted is very subjective in nature. For example, simply extending the term of a loan at its original interest rate or even at a higher interest rate could be interpreted as a concession unless the borrower could readily obtain similar credit terms from a different lender. The balance of TDRs at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: December 31, December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 TDRs included in nonperforming loans and leases $ 361 244 TDRs in compliance with modified terms 3,446 3,362 Total TDRs $ 3,807 3,606 There were 2 loan and lease modifications granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 on commercial mortgages and no loan and lease modifications granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 that were categorized as TDRs. No loan and lease modifications granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 subsequently defaulted during the same time period. COVID-19 Assistance to Customers During 2021 and 2020 we assisted customers that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic through 2 distinct and impactful ways: the issuance of PPP loans and short-term loan deferrals on a limited basis, in accordance with Section 4103 of the CARES Act. Throughout the life of the PPP loan program we helped borrowers with the issuance of 1,451 such loans totaling over $370 million. As of March 10, 2022, approximately $314 million, or 1,224 loans, had been paid back. Out of the remaining $56.3 million that have yet to be forgiven by the SBA, $31.7 million have submitted for forgiveness and are awaiting a response from the SBA, while the remaining $24.6 million has not yet submitted a request for forgiveness. We also provided COVID-19 loan deferrals, typically in 3 month increments, to loan customers that amounted to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2021, down $21.8 million, or 90%, from the $24.2 million as of December 31, 2020 as detailed by industry concentration of the borrower in the table below: December 31, December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2021 2020 Hotels $ — 11,832 C&I building construction — 10,103 Other 2,424 2,243 Total $ 2,424 24,178 As these modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic and qualify under the provisions of either Section 4013 of the CARES Act or Interagency Guidance, they are not considered TDR’s. loans are classified as performing and are not considered past due. Loans are to be placed on non-accrual when it becomes apparent that payment of interest or recovery of all principal is questionable, and the COVID-19 related modification is no longer considered short-term or the modification is deemed ineffective. As of January 31, 2022 the $2.4 million of deferrals that had existed as of December 31, 2021 expired without further deferral or modification given to these borrowers. |
