Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include references to the “Corporation”, “Company”, “Fentura”, “we”, “our”, “us”, and similar terms refer to the consolidated entity consisting of Fentura Financial, Inc. (the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries. References to The State Bank or the “Bank” refer to Fentura Financial, Inc.’s subsidiary, The State Bank.

 

We provide banking and trust services principally to individuals, small businesses and governmental entities through our twenty community banking offices and one loan production center serving Bay, Genesee, Ingham, Jackson, Livingston, Oakland, Saginaw and Shiawassee Counties in locations of central and southeastern Michigan. Our primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and our primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, and consumer loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Our exposure to credit risk is substantially affected by the economy in our market area and by changes in commercial real estate values. While the loan portfolio is substantially commercial based, we are not dependent on any single borrower or industry.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

8

 

Our accounting policies are materially the same as those discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. Significant estimates include but are not limited to the determination of the ACL, the fair values of residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and associated mortgage derivatives, credit impairment of securities, goodwill and the carrying value of deferred income taxes.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

 

The allowance for credit losses (“allowance”) is a valuation account that is deducted from, or added to, the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be ultimately collected on the loans. Loan losses are charged-off against the allowance when management determines the loan balance to be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Cash received on previously charged-off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance.

 

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. We adjust for current and forecasted factors based on trends in delinquencies, trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in the volume of loans, changes in underwriting standards, trends in loan review findings, the experience and ability of lending staff, concentrations of credit and changes in the value of collateral.

 

Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts are incorporated in determining our expected credit losses. The forecast period represents the time frame from the current period end through the point in time that we can reasonably forecast and support entity and environmental factors that are expected to impact the performance of our loan portfolio. Ideally, the economic forecast period would encompass the contractual terms of all loans; however, the ability to produce a forecast that is considered reasonable and supportable becomes more difficult and may not be possible in later periods. Subsequent to the end of the forecast period, we revert to historical loan data based on an ongoing evaluation of each economic forecast in relation to then current economic conditions as well as any developing loan loss activity and resulting historical data. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we used a two-year reasonable and supportable economic forecast period, with a reversion back to historical immediately following the two year forecasted period.

 

We are not required to develop and use our own economic forecast model and elected to utilize economic forecasts from our third party CECL provider that analyzes and develops forecasts of the economy for the entire United States on at least a quarterly basis.

 

We measure the allowance on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans with similar risk characteristics are grouped into homogenous segments, or pools, for analysis. After analyzing our loans, we determined the asset type or product type was the best pooling option that utilizes product-based call codes as the pooling / segmentations choice within the CECL model. Comparison of loan attributes and loss experience to peers was facilitated by this pooling choice.

 

We also consider expected credit losses associated with loan commitments over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk on the underlying commitments, unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by us. Any allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is reported as an other liability on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is increased or decreased through other noninterest expense on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. No allowance is recognized if we have the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. The calculation includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and then applying the expected credit loss as calculated using the weighted-average rate methodology for the corresponding balance sheet loan pool. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of credit loss expense.

 

Accrued interest receivable for loans is $4,890 at June 30, 2024 and $4,641 at December 31, 2023, and is in included in accrued interest receivable on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We elected not to measure an allowance for accrued interest receivable. We elected to reverse interest income for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the loan becomes 120 days past due, or earlier if we believe the collection of interest is doubtful. We believe this election results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.

 

The allowance for expected credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

Debt Securities

 

Debt securities are classified as HTM and carried at amortized cost when we have the positive intent and the ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as AFS when they might be sold before maturity. Debt securities AFS are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in OCI.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity Securities

 

We measure credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and consider historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. HTM debt securities are charged-off against the ACL when deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the ACL are reported on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the provision for credit losses. We measure expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Our HTM debt security portfolio consists of local municipal issued debt securities. The local municipalities are reviewed at least quarterly for credit worthiness. We utilize a third party vendor to provide a detailed credit write-up for our HTM debt securities. The third party vendor utilizes a proprietary scale between 1 and 8, whereas 1 is the strongest rating and 8 is the weakest rating assigned to a HTM debt security. All of our HTM debt securities were given a 1 rating as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no ACL related to HTM debt securities.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale Securities

 

For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we determine whether we intend to sell or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income with an allowance being established under CECL. Our AFS debt securities consist of multiple agency’s debt securities, as well as bank CD’s that have minimal credit quality risk, as they are guaranteed by the federal government or backed by FDIC insurance. These government backed AFS debt securities were not assessed for credit deterioration. Our population of AFS debt securities that are not agency backed are assessed for credit quality risk and they consist of debt securities issued by Municipalities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses not meeting these criteria, we evaluate whether any decline in fair value is due to credit loss factors. In making this assessment, we consider any changes to the rating of the security by rating agencies and adverse conditions specifically related to the issuer of the debt security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Changes in the ACL under ASU Topic 326-30 are recorded as provisions for credit loss expense. Losses are charged-off against the allowance when the collectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. he local municipalities are reviewed at least quarterly for credit worthiness. We utilize a third party vendor to provide a detailed credit write-up for our AFS debt securities that are not supported by the federal government or backed by FDIC insurance. The third party vendor utilizes a proprietary scale between 1 and 8, whereas 1 is the strongest rating and 8 is the weakest rating assigned to an AFS debt security. All of our AFS debt securities were given a 3 rating or better. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no ACL related to AFS debt securities.

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

ASC 815 provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (2) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain our objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

 

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

 

Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and mandatory forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. The fair value of the interest rate lock is recorded at the time the commitment is executed and is adjusted for the expected exercise of the commitment before the loan is funded. In order to the hedge the change in interest rates resulting from our commitments to fund loans, we enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gain on sales of residential mortgage loans included on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common stock grants that have a grant date prior to the date of earnings per common share calculation, and ESOP shares, are considered outstanding for this calculation. Unvested common stock grants are not considered outstanding for this calculation.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain items in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of prior years were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Pending Implementation

 

ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”

 

In December 2023, ASU 2023-09 was issued and enhances transparency by requiring consistent categorization, greater disaggregation, and detailed disclosure related to income taxes paid. These changes aim to help users of financial statements understand factors contributing to differences between effective and statutory tax rates. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale Securities

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses was recognized on AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, as we do not believe any of the AFS debt securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. This is based on our analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to our AFS debt securities and consideration of our historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Furthermore, we do not have the intent to sell any of the debt securities classified as AFS in the table above, and believes it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such debt securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying debt securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the debt securities approach their respective maturity date or repricing date, or if the market yields for such investments decline. We utilize a third party vendor to provide a detailed credit write-up for our AFS debt securities that are not supported by the federal government or backed by FDIC insurance. The third party vendor utilizes a proprietary scale between 1 and 8, whereas 1 is the strongest rating and 8 is the weakest rating assigned to an AFS debt security. All of our AFS debt securities were given a 3 rating or better.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses – Held-to-Maturity Securities

 

Although all of the HTM debt securities held have been in an unrealized loss position for over 12 months as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses was recognized, as we do not believe any of the HTM debt securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. We measure expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Our HTM debt security portfolio consist of local municipal issued debt securities. The local municipalities are reviewed at least quarterly for credit worthiness. We utilize a third party vendor to provide a detailed credit write-up for our HTM debt securities. The third party vendor utilizes a proprietary scale between 1 and 8, whereas 1 is the strongest rating and 8 is the weakest rating assigned to a HTM debt security. All of our HTM debt securities were given a 1 rating as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

We primarily originate residential and commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans. The majority of our loan portfolio is based in Genesee, Oakland, Saginaw, Shiawassee, Livingston, Ingham and Jackson counties within central and southeast Michigan. The ability of our debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate values and general economic conditions in these areas. A significant amount of our consumer and residential real estate loans are secured by various items of real property. Commercial loans are secured primarily by real estate and business assets. Some of our loans are unsecured.

 

Total loans by class are summarized as follows as of:

 

   June 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
   Balance   % of Total   Balance   % of Total

Included in total loans above are net deferred loan (fees) costs as of:

 

   June 30   December 31 
   2024   2023 
Net deferred loan (fees) costs  $2,681   $2,401 

 

We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debts such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans and is performed on a quarterly basis.

 

We use the following definitions for classified risk ratings for commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans:

 

1: Loans of Exceptional Credit Quality - Loans supported by strong firms/individuals characterized as having minimum credit risk representing a prime credit. Generally fully secured by liquid, properly margined collateral.

 

2: Loans of High Quality - Loans protected by the borrower’s net worth representing desirable banking risk. Well-seasoned borrowers displaying strong financial condition, consistently superior earning performance, and access to a range of financing alternatives. The borrower’s trends and outlook, as well as those of its industry group, are positive.

 

3: Loans of Satisfactory Quality - Loans representing a reasonable credit risk. Characterized as being moderate to average risk to established borrowers that display sound financial condition and operating results. The capacity to service debt is stable and demonstrated at a level consistent with or above the industry norms. Borrower and industry trends and outlook are considered good.

 

4: Satisfactory - Acceptable - Loans to persons or entities with an average financial condition, adequate collateral margins, adequate cash flow to service long-term debt, and net worth comprised mainly of fixed assets are included in the category. These entities are minimally profitable now, with projections indicating continued profitability into the foreseeable future.

 

5: Satisfactory - Acceptable - Monitor - Loans that are characterized by borrowers who have marginal, but adequate cash flow, marginal profitability, and currently have been meeting the obligations of their loan structure. Adverse changes in the borrower’s circumstances and/or current economic conditions are more likely to impair their capacity for repayment. The borrower has, in the past, satisfactorily handled debts with us, but may be experiencing some minor delinquency in making payments, or other signs of temporary cash flow issues. Borrower may be experiencing declining margins or other negative financial trends, despite the borrower’s continued satisfactory condition and positive cash flow. Other characteristics of borrowers in this class include inadequate credit information, weakness of financial statement, or declining but positive repayment capacity. This classification includes loans to new or established borrowers with satisfactory loan structure, but where near term economic or business issues appears to remain stable and the near-term projections would limit the ability for an improvement in the financial trends of the borrower.

 

15

 

 

6: Special Mention - Loans in this class 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 asset or in our credit position at some future date. These potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment of the loan and increase the credit risk. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose us to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

 

7: Substandard - Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

8: Doubtful - Loans are classified as doubtful because they have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified “Substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

9: Loss - Loans are classified as loss because they are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Charge-off is recommended.

 

We use the following definitions for classified risk ratings for residential mortgage, home equity and consumer loans:

 

Current - Loans are classified as current when payments are made on a timely basis and are not delinquent or in nonaccrual status.

 

30-89 days past due - Loans are classified as 30-89 days past due when payments are not paid in a timely manner and are considered delinquent.

 

90+ days past due - Loans are classified as 90+ days past due when payments continue to be delinquent beyond 89 days.

 

Nonaccrual - Loans are reviewed for nonaccrual when they become delinquent beyond 120 days. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, interest income recognized during the current period is reversed out of interest income on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and interest income recognized in prior periods is reversed out of ACL on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Troubled Loan Modifications

 

A loan modification is considered to be a TLM when the modification includes terms outside of normal lending practices to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties.

 

Typical concessions granted include, but are not limited to:

 

Agreeing to interest rates below prevailing market rates for debt with similar risk characteristics.

Extending the amortization period beyond typical lending guidelines for loans with similar risk characteristics.

Agreeing to an interest-only payment structure and delaying principal payments.

Forgiving principal.

Forgiving accrued interest.

 

To determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, factors we consider include:

 

The borrower is currently in default on any debt.

The borrower would likely default on any debt if the concession is not granted.

The borrower’s cash flow is insufficient to service all debt if the concession is not granted.

The borrower has declared, or is in the process of declaring, bankruptcy.

The borrower is unlikely to continue as a going concern (if the entity is a business).

 

Based on our historical loss experience, losses associated with TLMs are not significantly different than other impaired loans within the same loan segment. As such, TLMs are analyzed in the same manner as other impaired loans within their respective loan segment.

We did not modify any loans by forgiving principal or accrued interest during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. We did not have material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with loans whose terms have been modified in TLMs or whose loans are on nonaccrual as of June 30, 2024 or 2023. We closely monitor the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of our modification efforts. No modified loans were delinquent as of June 30, 2024 or 2023 and there were no TLMs that defaulted during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

The borrowings are payable at their maturity date; a prepayment penalty is assessed with early payoffs of borrowings. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $190,000 and $170,000, respectively, based on the lesser of the amount authorized by the Board of Directors or assets pledged as collateral.

Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities

 

We formed a trust and issued $12,000 of trust preferred securities in 2003 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The interest rate is a floating rate (3 month LIBOR plus 3.00%), and the current rate at June 30, 2024 was 8.60%. We issued subordinated debentures at the same terms as the trust preferred securities to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering; the debentures and related debt issuance costs represent the sole assets of the trust. We may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole but not in part, any time at a price of 100% of face value. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later than 2033.

 

We formed a trust and issued $2,000 of trust preferred securities in 2005 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The interest rate is a floating rate (3 month LIBOR plus 1.60%), and the current rate at June 30, 2024 was 7.19%. We issued subordinated debentures at the same terms as the trust preferred securities to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering; the debentures and related debt issuance costs represent the sole assets of the trust. We may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole but not in part, any time at a price of 100% of face value. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later than 2035.

 

We are not considered the primary beneficiary of these trusts, therefore the trusts are not consolidated in our financial statements; rather, the subordinated debentures are presented as a liability.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Parent had a term loan secured by our investment in the Bank. This loan has a term of 3 years with a scheduled maturity in 2027 and has a fixed rate of 7.75%. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the note was $4,397.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Parent had a $7,000 line of credit secured by our investment in the Bank. This instrument has a variable rate equal to Wall Street Journal Prime, which was 8.50% as of June 30, 2024, with a floor of 5.00%. We did not have any outstanding advances against this line as of June 30, 2024.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Parent had an $8,000 line of credit secured by our investment in the Bank. This instrument had the option to be at a fixed or variable rate at the time of each draw and matured annually with any individual draw having a maturity of no more than 3 years. The fixed rate option would be priced at the time of draw. The variable rate spread was 2.25% over the 1 month BSBY, and the rate at December 31, 2023 was 7.63%. We had $4,500 in outstanding advances against this line as of December 31, 2023.

(1) Not within the scope of ASC Topic 606.

 

A description of our revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

 

Trust related administration

 

We earn trust related income from contracts with customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as we provide the contracted monthly or quarterly services that are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management at month-end. Fees that are transaction based are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts and ATM and Debit card fees

 

We earn fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include stop payment charges, statement rendering, ACH and ATM fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time we fulfill the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which we satisfy the performance obligation. Similarly, overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs as this corresponds with our performance obligation. Service charges and ATM fees on deposit accounts are withdrawn from the customer’s account as the transactions occur.

Total other noninterest expenses  $1,570   $1,786   $3,209   $3,296 

 

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.

 

Level 1: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 

Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market.

 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of our financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value and all financial instruments disclosed at fair value. Transfers of assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period, when applicable.

 

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon third-party pricing services when available. Fair value may also be based on internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be required to record financial instruments at fair value. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

 

While we believe our valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the fair value amounts may change significantly after the date of our Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Available-for-Sale Securities: The fair values of AFS debt securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

 

Equity Securities: The fair values of equity securities (Level 1 inputs) are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale, at Fair Value: The fair values of residential mortgage loans HFS are based on valuation models which use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, we categorize these loans HFS as Level 2.

 

25

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights: MSR are accounted for under the fair value measurement methodology. MSR are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in the fair value are recorded to earnings in the period in which the fair value changes occur using a model that calculates the net present value of estimated future cash flows using various assumptions, including prepayment speeds, the discount rate and servicing costs. We classify the MSR subject to recurring fair value measurements as Level 3 valuation.

 

Derivatives: We utilize various derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, forward contracts, and interest rate lock commitments. Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. Substantially all of the derivative instruments held for risk management purposes are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. We measure fair value using models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk. In addition, we obtain third-party valuations. Derivatives are included in other assets or liabilities on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

A description of the various derivative instruments utilized is as follows:

 

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges which involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

 

Forward contracts: We enter into forward loan sales commitments to sell certain residential mortgage loans which are recorded at fair value based on valuation models. Our expectation of the amount of interest rate lock commitments that will ultimately close is a factor in determining the position. The valuation models utilize the fair value of related residential mortgage loans determined using observable market data.

 

Interest rate lock commitments: Our interest rate lock commitments are derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value based on valuation models that use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market. The interest rate lock commitments are adjusted for expectations of exercise and funding.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of:

There were no reclassifications between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of MSR measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis. Had there been any transfer into or out of Level 3, the amount included in “Transfers into (out of) Level 3” would represent the beginning balance of an item in the period during which it was transferred.

 

Activity in MSR measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a recurring basis consisted of the following for the periods ended:

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 30 
   2024   2023 
April 1  $8,680   $8,773

Our MSR valuations were supported by an analysis prepared by an independent third party. The analyses utilized the discounted cash flow valuation method. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of MSR are discount rate and prepayment speed. Significant changes in these assumptions could result in significant changes to the value of our MSR. Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

 

Financial Instruments Recorded Using Fair Value Option

 

We elected the fair value option for residential mortgage loans held-for-sale. These loans are intended for sale and we believe that the fair value is the best indicator of the resolution of these loans. Interest income is recorded based on the contractual terms of the note and in accordance with our policy on loans held for investment. None of these loans were 90 days or more past due or in non-accrual status as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. There were no gains or losses attributable to instrument specific credit risk in the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

 

The aggregate fair value, contractual balance (including accrued interest), and gain or loss was as follows as of:

 

   June 30   December 31 
   2024   2023 
Aggregate fair value  $2,440   $747 
Contractual balance   2,424    728 
Gain (loss)  $16   $19 

 

The total amount of gains and losses from changes in fair value included in net income were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30:

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30   June 30 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Interest Income  $36   $30   $57   $43 
Change in fair value   177    198    320    359 
Total change in value  $213   $228   $377   $402 

 

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

There were no material assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

There were no liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

GAAP requires disclosures about the estimated fair value of our financial instruments, including those financial assets and liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. We utilized the fair value hierarchy in computing the fair values of our financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices were not available, we employed the exit-price notion, using unobservable inputs requiring our judgment to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments, which are considered Level 3 valuations. These Level 3 valuations are affected by the assumptions made and, accordingly, are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange. It is also our general practice and intent to hold the majority of our financial instruments until maturity and, therefore, we do not expect to realize the estimated amounts disclosed.

A summary of carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis on our Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are disclosed in the table below as of:

There were no reclassifications between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

 

The short-term nature of certain assets and liabilities result in their carrying value approximating fair value. These include cash and cash equivalents, FHLB stock, non-marketable equity securities, accrued interest receivable, COLI, deposits without defined maturities, federal funds purchased and sold, and accrued interest payable.

 

Note 10 - Derivatives

 

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

 

We are exposed to certain risk arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our mortgage loans, investments and borrowings.

 

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

 

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate borrowings and forecasted issuances of borrowings.

 

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt.

 

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of our fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. We use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, LIBOR. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payments of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.

 

For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

 

29

 

Non-designated Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

 

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service we provide to certain customers. We execute interest rate swaps with commercial loan customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that we execute with a third party, such that we minimize our net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

 

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we either default, or are capable of being declared in default, on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

 

The fair value of derivatives in a net liability position (“out-of-the-money”), which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1,223 and $1,065, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of our derivative counterparties and had posted collateral of $5,707 and $5,555, respectively, in cash collateral on deposit with counterparties. If we had breached any of these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $1,223 and $1,065, respectively.

 

Note 11 - Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

We are party to litigation arising during the normal course of business. In our opinion, based on consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 12 - Subsequent Events

 

We evaluated subsequent events after June 30, 2024 through the date our interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for potential recognition and disclosure.

 

On July 25, 2024, Fentura and ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”) entered into a merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger of Fentura with and into ChoiceOne, with ChoiceOne surviving the merger. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, which has been approved by the Fentura Board of Directors and the ChoiceOne Board of Directors, each share of Fentura common stock outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will be converted into the right to receive 1.35 shares of ChoiceOne common stock. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of Fentura and ChoiceOne shareholders.

 

No other subsequent events require financial statement recognition or disclosure between June 30, 2024 and the date our interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
