14.     New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023:

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (Topic 326), which replaces the recognition and measurement guidance related to TDRs for creditors that have adopted ASC Topic 326 (commonly referred to as “CECL”) with the recognition and measurement guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20, to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. This ASU also enhances disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance also requires public business entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis; however, institutions have the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method as it relates to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The ASU was adopted on January 1, 2023 without material impact on our business operations or to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method”, which expanded the current last-of-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio and allow hedge accounting to be achieved using different types of derivatives and layering techniques, including the use of amortizing swaps with clarification that such a trade would be viewed as being a single layer. Under this expanded scope, both prepayable and nonrepayable financial assets may be included in a single closed portfolio hedge. This update also provides clarifications to breach requirements and disclosures. As a result of these changes, the last-of-

layer method has been renamed the portfolio layer method. No cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required upon adoption of these amendments. The Company did not have any portfolio layer or last of layer hedges prior to the first quarter of 2023. The amendments related to disclosures were applied on a prospective basis. The ASU was adopted in the first quarter of 2023 – see Notes 4 (“Securities”), 5 (“Loans”) and 11 (“Derivative Financial Instruments”) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the impact to our consolidated financial statements.
