The allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) on troubled loan modifications is measured using the same method as other loans held for investment. The Company evaluates all loan modifications according to the accounting guidance for loan refinancing and restructuring to determine whether the modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. If the modification meets the criteria to be accounted for as a new loan, any deferred fees and costs remaining prior to the modification are recognized in income and any new deferred fees and costs are recorded on the loan as part of the modification. If the modification does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a new loan, any new deferred fees and costs resulting from the modification are added to the existing amortized cost basis of the loan. The following tables present the amortized cost of loans and leases to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by class of financing receivable, type of modification, financial effect of the modification, and percentage of the amortized cost basis of modifications as compared to the amortized cost basis of each loan segment for the periods presented (dollars in thousands). There were no loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the three months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. Amortized Cost of Basis of Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Term Extension Weighted Average Term Extension (in months) % of Total Loan Type Owner-occupied commercial real estate $ 16 13.0 0.02 % Automobile loans 53 4.1 0.05 % Total Term Extension $ 69 6.1 0.05 % Amortized Cost of Basis of Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 Term Extension Weighted Average Term Extension (in months) % of Total Loan Type Owner-occupied commercial real estate $ 45 13.0 0.05 % Automobile loans 68 4.5 0.06 % Total Term Extension $ 113 7.9 0.05 % The Company monitors the performance of loans that are modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The Company considers a default on a troubled loan modification to occur when the borrower is 90 days past due following the modification or a foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral occurs. No loan or lease modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty had a payment default at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company monitors the performance of troubled loan modifications to determine the effectiveness of the modifications. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $15 thousand and $159 thousand in loans modified and designated as a troubled loan modification were past due. As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any unfunded commitments on loans modified and designated as troubled loan modifications. Collateral Dependent Disclosures The collateral method is applied to individually evaluated loans for which foreclosure is probable. The collateral method is also applied to individually evaluated loans when borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.
