Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following is a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that have impacted or could potentially affect the Company: ASU 2018-16, ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 - In October 2018, the Financial Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2018-16 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting.” ASU 2018-16 adds the SOFR overnight index swap rate to the list of United States (U.S.) benchmark rates eligible for hedge accounting purposes, which is the fourth rate permissible to be used as a U.S. benchmark rate. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and we do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the financial condition or liquidity of the Company. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) were issued on March 12, 2020 and January 7, 2021, respectively, and each provide further guidance on optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships due to the discontinuation of LIBOR. In addition, on March 5, 2021, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) issued a statement with an “Index Cessation Event Announcement,” which confirmed the extension of the cessation of LIBOR-referenced rates from December 31, 2021, to June 30, 2023, for certain rate tenors. The Company formed a LIBOR transition team in 2019, and has developed a project plan to assess the use of alternative indexes and to seek to ensure all financial instruments that reference LIBOR are identified, quantified, and researched for the LIBOR fallback language available or needed. The Company has completed the ISDA protocol adherence for LIBOR fallback language for all commercial swaps, has met with our commercial loan clients to also guide their swap fallback language adherence, and worked to revise all credit documents being issued by our Bank for new loans to ensure appropriate fallback language is included. We have discontinued the use of LIBOR as a reference rate for all consumer loans issued after July 31, 2021, and all commercial loans issued after December 31, 2021, with certain exceptions for those loans that were in the process of funding at the end of 2021. The Company’s systems have been updated to handle multiple SOFR-based indexes and we continue to meet regularly to plan for the transition of existing LIBOR exposures prior to the final LIBOR cessation date of June 30, 2023. ASU 2022-01 – On March 28, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01”Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method.” ASU 2022-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and also interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU No. 2017-12 concurrently or prior. The goal of this new hedging standard is to better align the economic results of risk management activities with hedge accounting, by allowing multiple layers of a single closed portfolio to be hedged, as compared to the single-layer, or last of layer method, allowed with the adoption of ASU 2017-12. The Company is currently reviewing ASU 2022-01 for the impact to derivative measurement and disclosures, and will assess any revisions needed for reporting purposes in the next few quarters. We anticipate adopting ASU 2022-01 no later than January 1, 2023. ASU 2022-02 – On March 31, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 is effective for any entities that have adopted CECL, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. The amendments eliminate certain troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) recognition and measurement guidance previously in effect, and consideration of the TDRs similar to other modified loans under CECL is now required. ASU 2022-02 also requires enhancements to vintage loan disclosures, requiring detail be provided on current-period gross write-offs and disclosure of the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicators and by loan portfolio class of the gross charge-off based on year of origination. The Company is currently reviewing ASU 2022-02 for the impact to TDR recognition, measurement and disclosures, and will assess any revisions needed for reporting purposes in the next few quarters. We anticipate adopting ASU 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023. |
