Loans outstanding to directors, executive officers, principal stockholders or to their affiliates totaled $3.1 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advances and new loans during 2023 totaled $1.3 million and $1.1 million during 2022. Payoffs and pay downs totaled $1.4 million and $1.1 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no related party loans that were classified as nonaccrual, past due, or restructured at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Deposits from related parties amounted to $7.8 million at December 31, 2023 and $6.8 million at December 31, 2022.

At December 31, 2023, the majority of the Company’s loans were at least partially secured by real estate in the markets we operate in. Therefore, a primary concentration of credit risk is directly related to the real estate market in these regions. Changes in the general economy, local economy or in the real estate market could affect the ultimate collectability of this portion of the loan portfolio. Management does not believe there are any other significant concentrations of credit risk that could affect the loan portfolio.

Loans are pledged to the FHLB-Pgh and the FRB as collateral for borrowing lines of credit as part of our contingent liquidity strategy. At December 31, 2023, $1.8 billion was pledged to the FHLB providing $1.2 million in borrowing capacity and $365.8 million was pledged to the FRB Borrow in Custody program providing $246.1 million in borrowing capacity.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company segments loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Loans are individually analyzed for credit risk by classifying them within the Company’s internal risk rating system.

The following table presents the amortized cost of loans and gross charge-offs by year of origination and by major classification of loans summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company’s internal risk rating system at December 31, 2023:

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”) effective January 1, 2023. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) and enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

There were no loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and hence there were no loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that subsequently defaulted.

Allowance for Credit Losses

ACL on loans receivable

The following tables present the balance of the ACL at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the balance of the ACL is based on the CECL methodology, as presented in Note 1. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for loan losses is based upon the calculation methodology as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The tables identify the valuation allowances attributable to specifically identified impairments on individually evaluated loans, including those acquired with deteriorated credit quality, as well as valuation allowances for impairments on loans evaluated collectively. The tables include the underlying balance of loans receivable applicable to each category as of those dates.

The following table represents the ACL by major classification of loan and whether the loans were individually or collectively evaluated and collateral dependent by class of loans at December 31, 2023 under ASC 326.
