The Company reassesses classification of certain investments as part of the ongoing review of the investment securities portfolio. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company transferred approximately $157.6 million of municipal bonds, which the Company intends and has the ability to hold to maturity, from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity securities. The transfer of these securities was accounted for at fair value. These securities had a net carrying amount of $154.5 million with a pre-tax unrealized loss of $3.2 million, which was reflected as a discount on the date of transfer. This discount, as well as the related unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income, will be amortized into interest income as a yield adjustment over the remaining term of the securities. The amortization of the unrealized loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will offset the effect on interest income of the amortization of the discount. No gains or losses were recorded at the time of transfer.
Investment securities with carrying values of $131.8 million and $147.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, other borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Unrealized Gains and Losses

Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale are recognized in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. At September 30, 2021, the Company had accumulated other comprehensive income of $4.7 million, or $3.4 million net of tax, compared to accumulated other comprehensive income of $84.4 million, or $60.3 million net of tax, at December 31, 2020.

For investment securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, the unrealized gains and losses at the date of transfer continue to be reported in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income and are amortized over the remaining lives of the securities with an offsetting entry to interest income as an adjustment of yield. At September 30, 2021, the gross unrealized loss on municipal bonds transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity in accumulated other comprehensive income was $3.1 million, or $2.2 million net of tax.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Investment Securities

The Company reviews individual securities classified as available-for-sale to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is deemed credit related or due to other factors such as changes in interest rates and general market conditions. An ACL on available-for-sale investment securities is recorded when the fair value of the investment is below its amortized cost and the decline in fair value has been deemed, through the Company’s qualitative assessment, to be credit related. Non-credit related declines in fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, which may be attributed to changes in interest rates and other market related factors, are not recorded through an ACL. Such declines are recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. In the event the Company is required to sell or has the intent to sell an available-for-sale security that has experienced a decline in fair value below its amortized cost, the Company writes the amortized cost of the security down to fair value in the current period.

Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are recorded at the time of purchase or acquisition and when the Company has designated securities as held-to-maturity. Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are representative of current expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment.

The Company determines credit losses on both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities through the use of a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s effective interest rate. The ACL is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss. The ACL is established through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired $829.9 million of available-for-sale securities in connection with the acquisition of Opus. Such securities were evaluated and it was determined that there were no investment securities classified as purchase credit deteriorated upon acquisition and, as a result, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had an ACL of $11,000 for held-to-maturity investment securities classified as municipal bonds. These securities were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity during the third quarter of 2021. There was no ACL for held-to-maturity investment securities at December 31, 2020. The Company recognized $11,000 of provision for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was no provision for credit losses recognized for held-to-maturity investment securities during the three months June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, and the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company had no ACL for available-for-sale or investment securities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not recorded credit losses on certain available-for-sale securities that were in an unrealized loss position due to the high quality of the investments, with investment grade ratings, and many of them are issued by U.S. government agencies. Additionally, the Company continues to receive contractual principal and interest payments in a timely manner. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of these investments as of September 30, 2021, and does not believe the declines in fair value are credit related. There was no provision for credit losses recognized for available-for-sale investment securities during the three months ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, or September 30, 2020, and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities in nonaccrual status. All securities in the portfolio were current with their contractual principal and interest payments. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no securities purchased with deterioration in credit quality since their origination. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no collateral dependent available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities.

FHLB, FRB, and Other Stock

The Company’s equity securities primarily consist of FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) stock, which are considered restricted securities and held as a condition of membership of the FHLB and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. These equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost less impairment. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $17.3 million in FHLB stock, $74.5 million in FRB stock, and $26.7 million in other stock, all carried at cost. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, the FHLB did not repurchase any of the Company’s excess FHLB stock through its stock repurchase program.
The Company periodically evaluates its investments in FHLB, FRB, and other stock for impairment, including their capital adequacy and overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded through September 30, 2021.
