It is the policy of the Company to review each prospective credit prior to making a loan in order to determine if an adequate level of security or collateral has been obtained. The type of collateral, when required, will vary from liquid assets to real estate. The Company seeks to assure access to collateral, in the event of borrower default, through adherence to lending laws, the Company’s lending standards and credit monitoring procedures. Although the Bank makes loans primarily within its market area, there are no significant concentrations of loans where the customers’ ability to honor loan terms is dependent upon a single economic sector. The real estate related categories listed above represent 68.7% and 68.8% of the portfolio at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and include a mix of owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, residential, construction and multifamily loans.

During the first three months of 2024, we recorded net provision expense of $3.5 million based on historical loss rate updates driven by higher charge offs in commercial real estate-investor, downward risk rating migration, and our assessment of estimated future credit losses. The ACL on loans excludes $2.7 million, $2.7 million and $3.8 million of allowance for unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively, recorded within other liabilities. Generally, the Bank considers a loan to be collateral dependent when, based on current information and events, it is probable that foreclosure could be initiated. Additionally, the Bank will review all loans meeting the criteria for individual analysis, to determine if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is expected through the sale of collateral. This will generally be the case for credits with high loan-to-values. Exceptions to this policy would include loans with guarantors or sponsors that have the means and willingness to support the obligation. Non-accruing loans with an outstanding balance of $500,000 or more are assessed on an individual loan level basis. When a financial asset is deemed collateral-dependent, the level of credit loss is measured by the difference between amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value of collateral adjusted for estimated cost to sell. The Company had $59.3 million and $63.1 million of collateral dependent loans secured by real estate or business assets as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators The Company categorizes loans into credit risk categories based on current financial information, overall debt service coverage, comparison to industry averages, historical payment experience, and current economic trends. This analysis includes loans with outstanding balances or commitments greater than $50,000 and excludes homogeneous loans such as home equity lines of credit and residential mortgages. Loans with a classified risk rating are reviewed quarterly regardless of size or loan type. The Company uses the following definitions for classified risk ratings: Special Mention. Substandard. Doubtful. Credits that are not covered by the definitions above are pass credits, which are not considered to be adversely rated.
