FDIC Indemnification Asset Related to Covered Loans

7. FDIC Indemnification Asset Related to Covered Loans

Certain loans acquired in the VIST Financial acquisition were covered loans with loss share agreements with the FDIC. Under the terms of loss sharing agreements, the FDIC will reimburse the Company for 70 percent of net losses on covered single family assets up to $4.0 million, and 70 percent of net losses incurred on covered commercial assets up to $12.0 million. The FDIC will increase its reimbursement of net losses to 80 percent if net losses exceed the $4.0 million and $12 million thresholds, respectively. The term for loss sharing on residential real estate loans is ten years, while the term for loss sharing on non-residential real estate loans is five years in respect to losses and eight years in respect to loss recoveries.

The receivable arising from the loss sharing agreements (referred to as the “FDIC indemnification asset” on our consolidated statements of financial condition) is measured separately from covered loans because the agreements are not contractually part of the covered loans and are not transferable should the Company choose to dispose of the covered loans. As of the acquisition date with VIST Financial, the Company recorded an aggregate FDIC indemnification asset of $4.4 million, consisting of the present value of the expected future cash flows the Company expected to receive from the FDIC under loss sharing agreements. The FDIC indemnification asset is reduced as loss sharing payments are received from the FDIC for losses realized on covered loans. Actual or expected losses in excess of the acquisition date estimates and accretion of the acquisition date present value discount will result in an increase in the FDIC indemnification asset and the immediate recognition of non-interest income in our financial statements.

A decrease in expected losses would generally result in a corresponding decline in the FDIC indemnification asset and the non-accretable difference. Reductions in the FDIC indemnification asset due to actual or expected losses that are less than the acquisition date estimates are recognized prospectively over the shorter of (i) the estimated life of the applicable covered loans or (ii) the term of the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC.
