Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the Allowance) | 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 are carried at their net realizable values.

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 following table presents information about TDRs at the dates indicated: (dollars in thousands) December 31, December 31, TDRs included in nonperforming loans and leases $ 207 $ 361 TDRs in compliance with modified terms 3,573 3,446 Total TDRs $ 3,780 $ 3,807 There was 1 new modification on a commercial mortgage for $684 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2 modifications granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 on commercial mortgages for $1.2 million. Total TDRs declined year-over-year, despite the new modification in 2022, as two TDRs from prior to 2021 totaling $563 thousand paid off in 2022. No modifications granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 subsequently defaulted during the same time period. |
