Investment Securities | 5. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities are summarized below. The majority of securities held are available-for-sale securities with fair value based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active. Estimated fair values were obtained from an independent pricing service based upon market quotes.
(1) Represents the amount of portfolio layer method basis adjustments related to AFS MBS securities hedged in a closed portfolio. Under U.S. GAAP, portfolio layer method basis adjustments are not allocated to individual securities, however the amounts impact the unrealized gains or losses for the individual securities being hedged. Refer to Note 3 and Note 19 for additional information.
The following table provides information about the amount of interest income earned on investment securities which is fully taxable and which is exempt from regular federal income tax.
Approximately 91% of the total investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2023 represents securities issued by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, with the implied guarantee of payment of principal and interest. The remaining securities are predominately AA or better general-obligation municipal bonds. The allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities under the CECL model was zero at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The following table presents the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, by investment category, in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The following summarizes our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses. Government Agency & Government-Sponsored Enterprise (“GSE”) — The government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of agencies of the U.S. Government. While the Government-Sponsored Enterprise bonds are not expressly guaranteed by the U.S. Government, they are currently being supported by the U.S. Government under a conservatorship arrangement. These securities are bullet securities, that is, they have a defined maturity date on which the principal is paid. The contractual term of these investments provides that the Company will receive the face value of the bond at maturity which will equal the amortized cost of the bond. Interest is received throughout the life of the security. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bonds.
Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) and CMO/REMIC — Most of the Company’s mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities are issued by Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These securities are collateralized or backed by the underlying residential or commercial mortgages. All mortgage-backed securities are considered to be rated investment grade with a weighted average life of approximately 7.5 years. Of the total MBS/CMO, 100% have the implied guarantee of U.S. Government-Sponsored Agencies and Enterprises. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bonds. There were no credit-related impairments for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Municipal Bonds — The majority of the Company’s municipal bonds, with maturities of approximately 12.8 years, represented approximately 9.1% of the total investment portfolio and are predominately AA or higher rated securities. The Company diversifies its holdings by owning selections of securities from different issuers and by holding securities from geographically diversified municipal issuers, thus reducing the Company’s exposure to any single adverse event. The decline in fair value is primarily due to the changes in interest rates. Since the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized costs, these investments were not considered impaired for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2023, investment securities with carrying values of $2.26 billion were pledged to secure various types of deposits, including $1.38 billion of public funds. In addition, investment securities with carrying values of $3.02 billion were pledged to secure $372.5 million for repurchase agreements, $1.8 billion for outstanding borrowings, $796 million for unused borrowing capacity and approximately $51 million for other purposes as required or permitted by law. At December 31, 2022, investment securities with carrying values of $1.56 billion were pledged to secure various types of deposits, including $1.13 billion of public funds. In addition, investment securities, with carrying values of $3.15 billion were pledged to secure $652.0 million for repurchase agreements, $550 million for outstanding borrowings, $105 million for unused borrowing capacity and approximately $27 million for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown in the table below. Although mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities have weighted average remaining contractual maturities of approximately 23 years, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalty. Mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities are included in maturity categories based upon estimated average lives which incorporate estimated prepayment speeds.
The investment in FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on, among other things, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded through December 31, 2023. |
