3.    LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

 

Commercial loans are divided among five segments based primarily on collateral type, risk characteristics, and primary and secondary sources of repayment. These segments are then further stratified based on the commercial loan grade that is assigned using our standard loan grading paradigm. Retail loans are divided into one of two groups based on risk characteristics and source of repayment. Our allowance for credit loss pools are consistent with those used for loan note disclosure purposes.

 

Our loan portfolio segments as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:

 

o

Commercial Loans

 

Commercial and Industrial: Risks to this loan category include industry concentration and the practical limitations associated with monitoring the condition of the collateral which often consists of inventory, accounts receivable, and other non-real estate assets. Equipment and inventory obsolescence can also pose a risk. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt.

 

 

Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate: Risks to this loan category include industry concentration and the inability to monitor the condition of the collateral. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt. Also, declines in real estate values and lack of suitable alternative use for the properties are risks for loans in this category.

 

 

Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate: Loans in this category are susceptible to declines in occupancy rates, business failure, and general economic conditions. Also, declines in real estate values and lack of suitable alternative use for the properties are risks for loans in this category.

 

 

Multi-Family and Residential Rental: Risks to this loan category include industry concentration and the inability to monitor the condition of the collateral. Loans in this category are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions and increases in unemployment rates, as well as market demand and supply of similar property and the resulting impact on occupancy rates, market rents, cash flow, and income-based real estate values. Also, the lack of a suitable alternative use for the properties is a risk for loans in this category.

 

 

Vacant Land, Land Development and Residential Construction: Risks common to commercial construction loans are cost overruns, changes in market demand for property, inadequate long-term financing arrangements, and declines in real estate values. Residential construction loans are susceptible to those same risks as well as those associated with residential mortgage loans. Changes in market demand for property could lead to longer marketing times resulting in higher carrying costs, declining values, and higher interest rates.

 

 

o

Retail Loans

 

1-4 Family Mortgages: Residential mortgage loans are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions and increases in unemployment rates and declining real estate values.

 

 

Other Consumer Loans: Risks common to these loans include regulatory risks, unemployment, and changes in local economic conditions as well as the inability to monitor collateral consisting of personal property.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we changed the segmentation of credit cards to business customers from other consumer loans to commercial and industrial loans. This division of the credit card balances was done to better align the risk characteristics of the portfolio, which include the customer type and source of repayment. Credit cards to business customers totaled $17.8 million as of December 31, 2023. We also changed the segmentation of home equity lines of credit from 1-4 family mortgage loans to other consumer loans during the year ended December 31, 2023. Home equity lines of credit share many of the same risk characteristics of both segments, however, losses are primarily driven by a lack of underlying collateral value during distressed situations as many of the loans are in a second lien position, and thus, best segmented within the other consumer portfolio. Home equity lines of credit totaled $38.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

 

Our total loans at March 31, 2024 were $4.32 billion compared to $4.30 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $18.2 million, or 0.4%. The components of our loan portfolio disaggregated by class of loan within the loan portfolio segments at March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, and the percentage change in loans from the end of 2023 to the end of the first quarter of 2024, are as follows:

Nonaccrual loans represent the entire balance of collateral dependent loans. As of March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, all collateral dependent loans were secured by real estate, with the exception of those classified as commercial and industrial, which were secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans totaled $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended  March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting the collection of interest at the time of principal pay-off.

Credit Quality Indicators. We utilize a comprehensive grading system for our commercial loans. All commercial loans are graded on a ten grade rating system. The rating system utilizes standardized grade paradigms that analyze several critical factors such as cash flow, operating performance, financial condition, collateral, industry condition and management. All commercial loans are graded at inception and reviewed and, if appropriate, re-graded at various intervals thereafter. The primary risk elements with respect to commercial loans are the financial condition of the borrower, the sufficiency of collateral, and timeliness of scheduled payments. We have a policy of requesting and reviewing periodic financial statements from commercial loan customers and employ a disciplined and formalized review of the existence of collateral and its value. All commercial loans are graded using the following criteria:

 

Grade 1.

“Exceptional”  Loans with this rating contain very little, if any, risk.

  

Grade 2.

“Outstanding”  Loans with this rating have excellent and stable sources of repayment and conform to bank policy and regulatory requirements.

  

Grade 3.

“Very Good”  Loans with this rating have strong sources of repayment and conform to bank policy and regulatory requirements. These are loans for which repayment risks are acceptable.

  

Grade 4.

“Good”  Loans with this rating have solid sources of repayment and conform to bank policy and regulatory requirements. These are loans for which repayment risks are modest.

  

Grade 5.

“Acceptable”  Loans with this rating exhibit acceptable sources of repayment and conform with most bank policies and all regulatory requirements. These are for loans for which repayment risks are satisfactory.

  

Grade 6.

“Monitor”  Loans with this rating are considered to have emerging weaknesses which may include negative current cash flow, high leverage, or operating losses. Generally, if further deterioration is observed, these credits will be downgraded to the criticized asset report.

  

Grade 7.

“Special Mention”  Loans with this rating have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan at some future date.

  

Grade 8.

“Substandard”  Loans with this rate are inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or of the pledged collateral, if any. A Substandard loan normally has one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

  

Grade 9.

“Doubtful”  Loans with this rating exhibit all the weaknesses inherent in the Substandard classification and where collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and improbable.

  

Grade 10.

“Loss”  Loans with this rating are considered uncollectable, and of such little value that continuance as an active asset is not warranted.

 

The primary risk element with respect to each residential real estate loan and consumer loan is the timeliness of scheduled payments. We have a reporting system that monitors past due loans and have adopted policies to pursue creditors’ rights in order to preserve our collateral position. Retail loans that reach 90 days or more past due are generally placed into nonaccrual status and are categorized as nonperforming.

There were lines of credit with principal balances of $6.4 million as of December 31, 2022 that were converted to term loans during 2023. 

 

We use a migration to loss methodology to determine historical loss rates for commercial loans given the comprehensive loan grading process employed by our bank for over two decades, while an open pool approach is best suited for retail loans given the smaller dollar size of the segments. A baseline loss rate is produced at each reporting date for each loan portfolio segment using bank-specific loan charge-off and recovery data over a defined historical look-back period. The look-back period represents the number of data periods that will be used to calculate a baseline loss rate for each loan portfolio segment. We determined that the look-back period commencing on January 1, 2011 through the current reporting date was reasonable and appropriate, which was used in the calculation of both the March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023 allowance for credit losses.

 

Our historical loss rate is then applied to future loan balances at the instrument level based on remaining contractual life adjusted for amortization, prepayment and default to develop a baseline lifetime loss. Our prepayment speed assumptions are developed at the loan segment level based upon the consideration of all relevant data which we believe could impact anticipated customer behavior, including changes in interest rates, economic conditions, and underlying property valuations. For the commercial portfolio segments, we assumed a 2.0% prepayment speed as of both March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023 as we deemed there to be no considerable changes from historical experience. For the retail 1-4 family mortgage and retail other consumer portfolios, we used a prepayment speed of 9.0% as of March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023


During each reporting period, we also consider the need to adjust the historical loss rates as determined to reflect the extent to which we expect current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which the historical loss information was determined. These qualitative adjustments may increase or decrease our estimate of expected future credit losses. As of March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, we used a one-year reasonable and supportable economic forecast period, with a six-month straight-line reversion period for all loan segments. The economic forecasts used for our March 31, 2024 allowance calculation reflected a $2.3 million allowance balance reduction. The forecasts used for our December 31, 2023 allowance calculation reflected a $2.0 million allowance balance reduction.

 

Individual loans exhibiting unique risk characteristics which differentiated the loans from other loans within the loan segments and were evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis totaled $7.9 million and $5.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively. Individual allowance allocations totaled $2.5 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, respectively.
