Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans | Note 5: Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans The composition of loans by portfolio segment as of December 31, were as follows: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Commercial $ 841,697 $ 840,964 Leases 398,223 277,385 Commercial real estate – investor 1,034,424 987,635 Commercial real estate – owner occupied 796,538 854,879 Construction 165,380 180,535 Residential real estate – investor 52,595 57,353 Residential real estate – owner occupied 226,248 219,718 Multifamily 401,696 323,691 HELOC 103,237 109,202 Other 1 22,915 18,247 Total loans 4,042,953 3,869,609 Allowance for credit losses on loans (44,264) (49,480) Net loans 2 $ 3,998,689 $ 3,820,129 1 Unless otherwise noted, the “Other” segment includes consumer loans and overdrafts in this table and in subsequent tables within Note 5 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. 2 Excludes accrued interest receivable of $ 20.5 million and $15.9 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The methodologies used for calculating the ACL on each loan segment include (i) a migration analysis for commercial, CRE owner occupied, CRE investor, and multifamily segments; (ii) a static pool analysis for construction, residential investor, residential owner occupied and the HELOC segments; and (iii) a WARM (weighted average remaining maturity) methodology is used for lease financing receivables and consumer segments. The forecast period used for each segment calculation was one year, with an immediate reversion to historical loss rates following this one year period. The economic factors management has selected include the civilian unemployment rate and real gross domestic product supplemented with local unemployment factors. These factors are evaluated and updated quarterly. Additionally, management uses qualitative adjustments to the loss estimates in certain cases as determined necessary. These qualitative adjustments are applied by pooled loan segment and have been made for both increased and decreased risk due to loan quality trends, collateral risk, or other risks management determines are not adequately captured in loss estimation. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and excluded from the pooled loan evaluation. The amount of expected loss for loans analyzed individually is determined by discounted cash flow or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable costs to sell. 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’s access to collateral, in the event of borrower default, is assured 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 above represent 68.8% and 70.6% of the portfolio at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and include a mix of owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, residential, construction and multifamily loans.
