11.     Derivative Financial Instruments

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted 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 and securities with $864.2 million and $273.6 million of swaps outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively; 2) to facilitate risk management strategies for our loan customers with $240.7 million of swaps outstanding, which include $120.4 million each with customers and bank counterparties at June 30, 2023 and $221.2 million of swaps outstanding, which include $110.6 million each with customers and bank counterparties at December 31, 2022; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances, brokered deposits and municipal deposits with $922.5 million of swaps outstanding at June 30, 2023, and $871.5 million of swaps outstanding at December 31, 2022.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method in the first quarter of 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company entered into portfolio layer hedges on a closed portfolio of AFS securities with a notional amount of $200.0 million and a closed portfolio of loans with a notional amount of $400.0 million. See Note 14 (“New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For non-portfolio layer method fair value hedges, the hedge basis (the amount of the change in fair value) is added to (or subtracted from) the carrying amount of the hedged item. For portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis does not adjust the carrying value of the hedged item and is instead maintained on a closed portfolio basis. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost of specific loans or AFS securities within the pools if either of the hedges were de-designated. The Company did not have any portfolio layer hedges prior to the first quarter of 2023.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $241.7 million and $221.2 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $864.2 million and $273.6 million, respectively, were designated as fair value hedges. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $921.5 million and $871.5 million, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effected earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $6.8 million in reduced expense and $2.4 million in additional expense, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, $11.0 million in reduced expense and $5.1 million in additional expense was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. The estimated amount to be reclassified in the next 12 months out of accumulated other comprehensive loss is $25.5 million in reduced expense.

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