Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses | 8. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses
Set forth below is selected data relating to the composition of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):
During 2020 and 2021 the Company participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered directly by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP provides loans to small businesses who were affected by economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 to provide cash-flow assistance to employers who maintain their payroll (including healthcare and certain related expenses), mortgage interest, rent, leases, utilities and interest on existing debt during the COVID-19 emergency. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding principal balances of $5.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively, in PPP loans. The PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent, and utility costs over a period of up to 24 weeks after the loan is made as long as certain conditions are met regarding employee retention and compensation levels. PPP loans deemed eligible for forgiveness by the SBA will be repaid by the SBA to the Company. As of March 31, 2022, $145.8 million of PPP loans have been forgiven. PPP loans are included in the commercial loan category.
In accordance with the SBA terms and conditions on these PPP loans, the Company received approximately $5.1 million in fees associated with the processing of these loans. Upon funding of the loan, these fees were deferred and will be amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield in accordance with FASB ASC 310-20-25-2. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying value of these unamortized loan fees was $156,000.
The following table presents information regarding loans acquired and accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 (in thousands):
As a result of the acquisition of UpState New York Bancorp, Inc. (“UpState”), the Company added $15,410,000 of loans that were accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. Based on a review of the loans acquired by the Company’s senior lending management, which included an analysis of credit deterioration of the loans since origination, the Company recorded a specific credit fair value adjustment of $6,937,000. For loans that were acquired with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, loan losses will be accounted for through a reduction of the specific reserve and will not impact the allowance for loan losses until actual losses exceed the allotted reserves. For loans acquired without a deterioration of credit quality, losses incurred will result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation.
Changes in the accretable yield for purchased credit impaired loans for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, were as follows (in thousands):
Loans acquired with credit deterioration of $15,410,000 and accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 were individually evaluated to estimate credit losses and a net recovery amount for each loan. The net cash flows for each loan were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate. The table below presents the components of the purchase accounting adjustments:
The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. We do not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.
Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $590,000 and $1,742,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no additions to the foreclosed real estate category. The Company disposed of a parcel of the one property that was previously transferred to foreclosed real estate owned with a carrying value of $120,000, and disposed of another property with a carrying value of $1,032,000 through the sale of the property. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on six properties classified as consumer residential mortgages with an aggregate carrying value of $454,000.
The following table shows the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated:
The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable.
The following table presents the average recorded investment in impaired loans and the related amount of interest income recognized during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands):
Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternate financing sources. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no troubled debt restructured loans to report. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings.
Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.
To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as nonperformance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $1,500,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.
The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
For residential real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the performance of the individual credits. The following table presents the recorded investment in the loan classes based on payment activity as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing loans and nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the allowance for loan losses. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance.
As of March 31, 2022, the allocation of the allowance pertaining to each major category of loans includes an allocation for loans secured by farmland and other agricultural loans. As of March 31 2022, the Company has also continued to incorporate qualitative factors related to the pandemic to capture some of the risk associated with higher-risk industries, although the factor has been reduced from the December 31, 2021 level. The qualitative factor related to the deferral of payments due to COVID-19 has been eliminated. At March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses includes $1.7 million of COVID related factors, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2021. The 2022 allowance for loan losses excludes Paycheck Protection Program loans which are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Association as well as loans acquired from UpState which were recorded at fair value.
The following table presents the allowance for loan losses by the classes of the loan portfolio:
The Company’s primary business activity as of March 31, 2022 was with customers located in northeastern Pennsylvania and the New York counties of Delaware, Sullivan, Ontario, Otsego and Yates. Accordingly, the Company has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in this area whose ability to repay their loans is influenced by the region’s economy.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in commercial rentals with $138.0 million of loans outstanding, or 10.1 % of total loans outstanding, and residential rentals with loans outstanding of $116.4 million, or 8.5% of loans outstanding. During 2022, the Company did not recognize any charge offs on loans in the named concentrations. |
