LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES | NOTE 3. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES We evaluate risk characteristics of loans based on regulatory call report code with segmentation based on the underlying collateral for certain loan types. The following is a summary of total loans by regulatory call report code segmentation based on underlying collateral for certain loan types: March 31, December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Commercial construction $ 132,960 $ 117,577 Commercial real estate owner occupied 261,365 244,814 Commercial real estate non-owner occupied 1,149,030 1,146,674 Tax exempt 43,253 42,879 Commercial and industrial 298,384 297,112 Residential real estate 961,701 954,968 Home equity 89,777 90,865 Consumer other 7,535 7,801 Total loans 2,944,005 2,902,690 Allowance for credit losses 26,607 25,860 Net loans $ 2,917,398 $ 2,876,830 Total unamortized net costs and premiums included in loan totals were as follows: March 31, December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Net unamortized loan origination costs $ 3,233 $ 3,184 Net unamortized fair value discount on acquired loans (3,339) (3,506) Total $ (106) $ (322) We exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans disclosed throughout this footnote. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued interest receivable for loans totaled $11.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively, and is included in the “other assets” line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial construction Commercial real estate owner occupied and non-owner occupied Tax Exempt Commercial and industrial loans Residential real estate Home equity - Consumer other Allowance for Credit Losses The Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments which is accounted for as a separate liability in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The level of the ACL represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans at the balance sheet date. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged off. The ACL is comprised of reserves measured on a collective (pool) basis based on a lifetime loss-rate model when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, generally larger non-accruing commercial loans. The activity in the ACL for the periods ended are as follows: At or for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Balance at Beginning of Balance at (in thousands) Period Charge Offs Recoveries Provision End of Period Commercial construction $ 2,579 $ — $ — $ 455 $ 3,034 Commercial real estate owner occupied 2,189 — — 159 2,348 Commercial real estate non-owner occupied 9,341 — — 3 9,344 Tax exempt 93 — — — 93 Commercial and industrial 3,493 (1) 6 117 3,615 Residential real estate 7,274 (4) 8 27 7,305 Home equity 811 — 2 (21) 792 Consumer other 80 (63) 1 58 76 Total $ 25,860 $ (68) $ 17 $ 798 $ 26,607 At or for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Balance at Beginning of Balance at (in thousands) Period Charge Offs Recoveries Provision End of Period Commercial construction $ 2,111 $ — $ — $ (1,110) $ 1,001 Commercial real estate owner occupied 2,751 — 54 (132) 2,673 Commercial real estate non-owner occupied 5,650 — — 1,357 7,007 Tax exempt 86 — — (86) — Commercial and industrial 5,369 — 25 (655) 4,739 Residential real estate 5,862 (15) 91 940 6,878 Home equity 814 (2) 5 10 827 Consumer other 75 (66) 3 53 65 Total $ 22,718 $ (83) $ 178 $ 377 $ 23,190 Unfunded Commitments The ACL on unfunded commitments is recognized as a liability (other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet), with adjustments to the reserve recognized in other non-interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. The entire amount of the loan might not be classified as doubtful when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable. Loans are generally not classified doubtful for an extended period of time (i.e., over a year).

not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent, financial loans where we have determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and we expect repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by loan portfolio segment for the periods ended.

This guidance was applied on a prospective basis. Upon adoption of this guidance, we no longer establish a specific reserve for modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, these modifications are included in their respective category and a historical loss rate is applied to the current loan balance to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the ACL. These modifications typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. There were no qualifying modifications for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Foreclosure Residential mortgage loans collateralized by real estate that are in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 totaled $570 thousand and $253 thousand, respectively. Mortgage Banking Loans held for sale at March 31, 2023 had an unpaid principal balance of $463 thousand and there were no loans held for sale as of December 31, 2022. The interest rate exposure on loans held for sale is mitigated through forward delivery commitments with certain approved secondary market investors. We had no open forward delivery commitments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we sold $691 thousand and $22.2 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in a net loss on sale of loans (net of costs, including direct and indirect origination costs) of $8 thousand and a gain of $182 thousand, respectively. We sell residential loans on the secondary market while primarily retaining the servicing of these loans. Servicing sold loans helps to maintain customer relationships and earn fees over the servicing period. Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The risks inherent in servicing assets relate primarily to level of prepayments that result from shifts in interest rates. We obtain third-party valuations of our servicing assets portfolio quarterly, and the assumptions are reflected in Fair Value disclosures. |
