Includes $4.8 million, and $5.2 million of SBA Payment Protection Program (“SBA PPP”) loans on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

Interest on loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Accrued interest receivable totaled $35.1 million and $34.5 million at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was reported in “Interest and dividends receivable” on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is an estimate that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial assets. Loans are charged off against that ACL when management believes that a loan balance is uncollectable based on quarterly analysis of credit risk.

The amount of the ACL is based upon a loss rate model that considers multiple factors which reflects management’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The factors are both quantitative and qualitative in nature including, but not limited to, historical losses, economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, value and adequacy of underlying collateral, volume and portfolio mix, and internal loan processes.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans totaling $7.5 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was driven by a loan charge-off and increased reserves on two loans that were previously identified with one business credit relationship. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made no changes to either the reasonable and supportable forecast period or the reversion period. The ACL - loans totaled $38.7 million on March 31, 2023 compared to $40.4 million on December 31, 2022. On March 31, 2023, the ACL - loans represented 0.56% of gross loans and 182.9% of non-performing loans. On December 31, 2022, the ACL - loans represented 0.58% of gross loans and 124.9% of non-performing loans.

The Company may modify loans to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. When modifying a loan, an assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of modification. This modification may include reducing the loan interest rate extending the loan term, any other-than-insignificant payment delay, principal forgiveness or any combination of these types of modifications. When such modifications are performed, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not required as the methodologies used to estimate the allowance already capture the effect of borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. On March 31, 2023, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers who have received a loan modification as a result of financial difficulty.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” without material impact on the business operations or consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 (“New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables show the activity in the ACL on loans for the three-month periods indicated:

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans.” If a loan does not fall within one of the previously mentioned categories and management believes weakness is evident then we designate the loan as “Watch;” all other loans would be considered “Pass.” Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that may jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan as Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does not hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Credit Losses. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant classification within one of the other classifications but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention.

The following table summarizes the various risk categories of mortgage and non-mortgage loans by loan portfolio segments and by class of loans by year of origination at March 31, 2023:

Included within net loans were $5.2 million each at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and repayment is expected to be substantially provided by the operation or sale of the collateral.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Losses

Also included within scope of the CECL standard are off-balance sheet loan commitments, which includes the unfunded portion of committed lines of credit and commitments “in-process”. Commitments “in‐process” reflect loans not in the Company’s books but rather negotiated loan / line of credit terms and rates that the Company has offered to customers and is committed to honoring. In reference to “in‐process” credits, the Company defines an unfunded commitment as a credit that has been offered to and accepted by a borrower, which has not closed and by which the obligation is not unconditionally cancellable.

Commitments to extend credit (principally real estate mortgage loans) and lines of credit (principally home equity lines of credit and business lines of credit) totaled $427.0 million and $438.5 million on March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for off balance sheet credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.
