Derivative Financial Instruments

NOTE 18 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As part of our overall interest rate risk management, Old National uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps and floors. The notional amount of these derivative instruments was $708.0 million at March 31, 2015 and $608.0 million at December 31, 2014. The March 31, 2015 balances consist of $38.0 million notional amount of receive-fixed pay variable interest rate swaps on certain of its FHLB advances, $625.0 million notional amount of pay-fixed, receive variable interest rate swaps on certain of its FHLB advances and $45.0 million notional amount of receive-fixed pay variable interest rate swaps on certain of its commercial loans. The December 31, 2014 balances consist of $38.0 million notional amount of receive-fixed pay variable interest rate swaps on certain of its FHLB advances, $525.0 million notional amount of pay-fixed, receive variable interest rate swaps on certain of its FHLB advances and $45.0 million notional amount of receive-fixed pay variable interest rate swaps on certain of its commercial loans. These hedges were entered into to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and are not reported on a net basis.

In addition, commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate lock commitments) and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors are considered derivatives. At March 31, 2015, the notional amount of the interest rate lock commitments was $62.7 million and forward commitments were $52.1 million. At December 31, 2014, the notional amount of the interest rate lock commitments was $19.7 million and forward commitments were $29.1 million. It is our practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans to third party investors when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from our commitment to fund the loans. All derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value.

Old National also enters into derivative instruments for the benefit of its customers. The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $419.2 million and $419.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2015. At December 31, 2014, the notional amounts of the customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $435.6 million and $435.6 million, respectively. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. These instruments include interest rate swaps, caps and collars. Commonly, Old National will economically hedge significant exposures related to these derivative contracts entered into for the benefit of customers by entering into offsetting contracts with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with substantially matching terms.

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Old National’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional, principal or contract amounts. There are provisions in our agreements with the counterparties that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed thresholds are collateralized. In addition, we minimize credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest income or interest expense as interest payments are received or paid on the Company’s derivative instruments. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $0.6 million will be reclassified to interest income and $3.8 million will be reclassified to interest expense.
