Loans And The Allowance For Loan Losses | 4. LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loan Portfolio Composition The following table presents selected information on the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Mortgage loans on real estate: (in thousands) Residential mortgages $ 364,598 $ 158,572 Commercial and multi-family 702,624 645,036 Construction-Residential 6,761 1,067 Construction-Commercial 102,011 97,848 Home equities 84,863 69,351 Total real estate loans 1,260,857 971,874 Commercial and industrial loans 448,092 251,197 Consumer and other loans 412 1,926 Unaccreted yield adjustments* ( 6,285 ) 1,534 Total gross loans 1,703,076 1,226,531 Allowance for loan losses ( 20,601 ) ( 15,175 ) Loans, net $ 1,682,475 $ 1,211,356 * Includes net premiums and discounts on acquired loans and net deferred fees and costs on loans originated, including $ 5.8 million of PPP fees at September 30, 2020. The CARES Act established a loan program administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), referred to as the paycheck protection program (“PPP”). PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00 % and a term of two year s (loans made before June 5, 2020) or five year s (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not forgiven, in whole or in part. Payments are deferred until either the date on which the SBA remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that 10 month period. Through September 30, 2020, the Company had originated 1,931 PPP loans totaling $ 203 million, included in commercial and industrial loans. PPP loans did not impact the Company’s allowance for loan loss as a result of the SBA guarantees. Fees collected from the SBA for these loans in the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 totaled $ 7.4 million. These fees are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual period of the loan. Upon SBA forgiveness or sale of a PPP loan, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income. As of September 30, 2020, no PPP loans had received SBA forgiveness. In connection with the FSB acquisition, the Company acquired $ 271 million in total loans, primarily residential real estate. At September 30, 2020, the outstanding principal balance and carrying amount of acquired credit-impaired loans totaled $ 0.9 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively. The Company is not recording interest on the acquired credit-impaired loans due to the uncertainty of the cash flows relating to such loans. There were no valuation allowances for specifically identified impairment attributable to acquired credit-impaired loans at September 30, 2020. The Company did no t have any acquired credit-impaired loans as of December 31, 2019. Also in connection with the FSB acquisition, the Company acquired a loan serving portfolio of $ 107 million in principal balances in which residential real estate loans were sold to FHLMC and the servicing rights are retained by the Company. No loans were sold to FHLMC by the Company during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company also sells certain fixed rate residential mortgages to FNMA while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages. In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $ 7.2 million and $ 15.0 million, respectively. In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $ 3.0 million and $ 7.6 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had loan servicing portfolio principal balances of $ 185 million and $ 76 million, respectively, upon which it earned servicing fees. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights for that portfolio was $ 1.0 million and $ 0.6 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2020 there were no residential mortgages held for sale. At December 31, 2019 there were $ 0.7 million in residential mortgages held for sale. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Disclosures related to the basis for accounting for loans, the method for recognizing interest income on loans, the policy for placing loans on nonaccrual status and the subsequent recording of payments and resuming accrual of interest, the policy for determining past due status, a description of the Company’s accounting policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, the policy for charging-off loans, the accounting policies for impaired loans, and more descriptive information on the Company’s credit risk ratings are all contained in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The accounting policy for loans acquired in a business combination is included in Note 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 1 to the 10-K, as supplemented in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Credit Quality Indicators The Company monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for the commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses: Acceptable or better Watch Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loss “Special mention” and “substandard” loans are weaker credits with a higher risk of loss and are categorized as “criticized” assets. The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Unlike commercial customers, consumer loan customers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information after the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company uses delinquency status as the primary credit quality indicator for consumer loans. However, once a consumer loan is identified as impaired, it is individually evaluated for impairment. The Company continues to evaluate its loan portfolio in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its clients. The increase in the watch category during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was a result of the Company reclassifying all commercial loans that received a deferral into the watch or criticized categories. The Company will reassess the watch classification after the deferral’s termination dates and evidence of continuation of payments as contracted. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified a well-defined weakness in the hotel industry and classified the loans to clients within that industry as substandard. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s hotel loan portfolio was $ 81 million, or approximately 6.5 %, of total commercial loans. As a result, total criticized assets increased to $ 133 million at September 30, 2020 compared with $ 51 million at the end of the 2019.

All of the Company’s restructurings were allowed in an effort to maximize its ability to collect on loans where borrowers were experiencing financial difficulty. The reserve for a TDR is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or upon the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, if the loan is deemed collateral dependent. This reserve methodology is used because all TDR loans are considered impaired. The Company’s TDRs have various agreements that involve deferral of principal payments, or interest-only payments, for a period (usually 12 months or less) to allow the borrower time to improve cash flow or sell the property. Other common concessions leading to the designation of a TDR are lines of credit that are termed-out and/or extensions of maturities at rates that are less than the prevailing market rates given the risk profile of the borrower. In late March 2020, federal banking regulators issued guidance that modifications made to a borrower affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders do not need to be identified as a TDR if the loan was current at the time a modification plan was implemented. The CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had applied this guidance and had made 381 modifications of commercial loans with principal balances totaling $ 368 million, and 298 modifications of consumer loans with principal balances totaling $ 37 million. The following tables present TDR activity by the type of concession granted to the borrower for the three and nine month periods ended September 30 , 2020 and 2019: Three months ended September 30, 2020 Three months ended September 30, 2019 (Recorded Investment in thousands) (Recorded Investment in thousands) Troubled Debt Restructurings by Type of Concession Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Commercial and Industrial: Extension of maturity - $ - $ - 1 $ 21 $ 21 Term-out line of credit - - - 1 42 42 Residential Real Estate & Construction: Extension of maturity and interest rate reduction 1 97 97 3 307 307 Commercial Real Estate & Construction - - - - - - Home Equities: Extension of maturity and interest rate reduction - - - 1 110 110 Consumer and other loans - - - - - - Other - - - - - - Nine months ended September 30, 2020 Nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Recorded Investment in thousands) (Recorded Investment in thousands) Troubled Debt Restructurings by Type of Concession Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Commercial and Industrial: Extension of maturity - $ - $ - 1 $ 21 $ 21 Term-out line of credit - - - 1 42 42 Residential Real Estate & Construction: Combination of concessions 1 56 56 - - - Extension of maturity and interest rate reduction 1 97 97 3 307 307 Commercial Real Estate & Construction - - - - - - Home Equities: Extension of maturity and interest rate reduction - - - 3 390 390 Consumer and other loans - - - - - - The general practice of the Bank is to work with borrowers so that they are able to repay their loan in full. If a borrower continues to be delinquent or cannot meet the terms of a TDR and the loan is determined to be uncollectible, the loan will be charged-off to its collateral value. A loan is considered in default when the loan is 90 days past due. Loans which were classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months which defaulted during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material. |
