DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
15. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both economic conditions and its business operations. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
In 2020, the Company terminated its three interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges for a net gain of $1.3 million, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a variable rate loan pool. Hedge accounting was discontinued, and the net gain in accumulated comprehensive income is reclassified into earnings when the transaction affects earnings. As the underlying hedged transaction continues to be probable, the $1.3 million net gain will be recognized into earnings on a straight-line basis over each derivative's original contract term. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, $0.1 million was reclassified into interest income. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Swap Guarantees
The Company entered into agreements with five unrelated financial institutions whereby those financial institutions entered into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swap transactions) directly with customers referred to them by the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, those financial institutions have recourse to us for any exposure created under each swap transaction, only in the event that the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. This is a customary arrangement that allows us to provide access to interest rate swap transactions for our customers without creating the swap ourselves. These swap guarantees are accounted for as credit derivatives.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 259 and 261 variable-rate to fixed-rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institutions and the Company's customers, respectively. The initial notional aggregate amount was approximately $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, the swap transactions remaining maturities ranged from under 1 year to 14 years. At March 31, 2022, 82 of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties for $6.6 million, with our swap guarantees having a fair value of $12.5 million. At December 31, 2021, 193 of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties for $35.8 million, with the Company's swap guarantees having a fair value of $13.1 million. However, for both periods, none of the Company's customers were in default of the swap agreements.
Customer Derivatives Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into interest rate swaps with commercial loan customers wishing to manage interest rate risk. The Company then enters into corresponding swap agreements with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge the exposure arising from these contracts. The interest rate swaps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under FASB ASC 815 and are marked to market through earnings. As the interest rate swaps are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying benchmark interest rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by FASB ASC 820. As of March 31, 2022, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.
Derivative Financial Instruments from Mortgage Banking Activities
Derivative financial instruments related to mortgage banking activities are recorded at fair value and are not designated as accounting hedges. This includes commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans to customers, also referred to as interest rate lock commitments. The Company may also enter into forward sale commitments to sell loans to investors at a fixed price at a future date and trade asset-backed securities to mitigate interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts (FX forwards) with customers to exchange one currency for another on an agreed date in the future at an agreed exchange rate. The Corporation then enters into corresponding FX forwards with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge its exposure on the exchange rate component of the customer agreements. The FX forwards with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under FASB ASC 815 and are marked to market through earnings. Exposure to gains and losses on these contracts increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate. As the FX forwards are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying term structure of currency exchange rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by FASB ASC 820. As of March 31, 2022, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.
Risk Participation Agreements
The Company may enter into a risk participation agreement (RPA) with another institution as a means to assume a portion of the credit risk associated with a loan structure which includes a derivative instrument, in exchange for fee income commensurate with the risk assumed. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA sold.” In addition, in an effort to reduce the credit risk associated with an interest rate swap agreement with a borrower for whom the Corporation has provided a loan structured with a derivative, the Corporation may purchase an RPA from an institution participating in the facility in exchange for a fee commensurate with the risk shared. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA purchased.”
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which, if it defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and has posted collateral of $6.0 million in securities and $7.2 million in cash against its obligations under these agreements which meets or exceeds the minimum collateral posting requirements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.
