Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Note 13 – Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Bank enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Bank may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Bank to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Banks’s consolidated statements of financial condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts. In other words, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. As of December 31, 2022, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $63.5 million at an average rate of 0.38%. These agreements mature on a daily basis, but we expect the agreements to be available in the foreseeable future. The market value of securities pledged totaled $64.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and included $33.3 million of federal agency debt, $19.2 million of U.S. Treasuries and $11.9 million of federal agency mortgage-backed securities. As of December 31, 2021, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $52.0 million at an average rate of 0.10%. The market value of securities pledged totaled $53.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and included $25.9 million of federal agency mortgage-backed securities, $13.3 million of federal agency debt, $9.8 million of SBA pool, and $4.2 million of federal agency CMO.
