Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s leases are comprised of real estate property for branches, automated teller machine locations and office space with terms extending through 2038. The Company has one existing finance lease, which has a lease term through 2029.

The following table represents the classification of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition (in thousands):

		September 30,		December 31,
		2022		2021
Lease ROU Assets	Classification
Operating lease ROU assets	Other assets	$	19,474	$	17,442
Finance lease ROU asset	Premises and equipment, net	1,347		1,495
Total lease ROU assets		$	20,821	$	18,937
Lease Liabilities
Operating lease liabilities (1)	Other liabilities	$	20,430	$	17,982
Finance lease liability	Other borrowings	1,750		1,904
Total lease liabilities		$	22,180	$	19,886

(1) Operating lease liabilities excludes liabilities for future rent and estimated lease termination payments related to closed branches of $8.2 million at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease agreements often include one or more options to renew the lease at the Company’s discretion. If the exercise of a renewal option is considered to be reasonably certain, the Company includes the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. For the discount rate, Leases (Topic 842) requires the Company to use the rate implicit in the lease, provided the rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, at lease inception, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019. For the finance lease, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception.
