The Company reviewed each available for sale debt security that had an unrealized loss at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. All of these securities are rated investment grade or above and have a long history of no credit losses. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

In determining the risk of loss for available for sale securities, the Company considered that mortgage-backed securities are either fully guaranteed or issued by a government sponsored enterprise, which has a credit rating and perceived credit risk comparable to U.S. government, the tranche of the purchased collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) and the issuer of Corporate securities are global systematically important banks. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. Based on this review, management believes that the unrealized losses have resulted from other factors not deemed credit-related and no allowance for credit loss was recorded.

The Company reviewed each held-to-maturity security at December 31, 2022 and 2021 as part of its quarterly CECL process, resulting in an allowance for credit losses of $1.1 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $0.1 million each at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $3.7 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for debt securities held-to-maturity:

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company modified one investment security totaling $21.0 million as TDR by granting a payment forbearance. At December 31, 2022, this security is reported as non-accrual and non-performing.

The Company did not have any allowance for credit losses for available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company sold available for sale securities with carrying values at the time of sale totaling $84.2 million, $45.0 million, and $221.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company purchased mortgage-backed available for sale securities totaling $56.6 million, $340.8 million, and $308.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
