At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used for three purposes: 1) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans totaling $273.6 million and $299.6 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with $221.2 million of swaps outstanding, which include $110.6 million with customers and $110.6 million with bank counterparties at December 31, 2022 and $228.0 million of swaps outstanding, which include $114.0 million with customers and $114.0 million with bank counterparties at December 31, 2021; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances and brokered CDs totaling $871.5 million and $996.5 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $221.2 million and $228.0 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $273.6 million and $299.6 million were designated as fair value hedges. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $871.5 million and $996.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $4.3 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense. The estimated amount to be reclassified in next 12 months out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings is $9.0 million.

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments at the periods indicated:

The Company’s interest rate swaps are subject to master netting arrangements between the Company and its three designated counterparties. The Company has not made a policy election to offset its derivative positions. The interest rate swaps with borrowers are cross collateralized with the underlying loan and, therefore, there is no posted collateral. Interest rate swap agreements with third-party counterparties contain provisions that require the Company to post collateral if the derivative exposure exceeds a threshold amount and receive collateral for agreements in a net asset position.

The following tables present the effect of the master netting arrangements on the presentation of the derivative assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as of the dates indicated:

Correction of an Error on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The Company identified an error in its consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 for the change in cash collateral related to certain derivative financial instruments. The Company determined that for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and six months ended June 30, 2022, the change in cash collateral amount was understated. The Company reviewed the impact of this error on the prior periods and determined that the error was not material to the prior period consolidated financial statements. The impact of the error as corrected decreased net cash used in investing activities by $25.1 million and $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and increased the net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash by equivalent amounts.
