(1)Interest income recognized on non-accrual loans during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.4 million.

The Company considers non-accrual loans to be collateral-dependent unless there are underlying mitigating circumstances. The practical expedient to measure the allowance using the fair value of the collateral has been implemented. Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis were primarily comprised of two commercial non-owner

occupied real estate loans totaling $15.3 million, a single commercial and industrial loan totaling $23.8 million and various 1-4 family residential, commercial real estate, and construction and land development loans totaling $8.0 million that were previously evaluated as a part of PCI loan pools prior to CECL.

The Bank classifies loan modifications as TDRs when it concludes that it has both granted a concession to a debtor and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Loan modifications are typically structured to create affordable payments for the debtor and can be achieved in a variety of ways. The Bank modifies loans by reducing interest rates and/or lengthening loan amortization schedules. The Bank may also reconfigure a single loan into two or more loans (“A/B Note”). The typical A/B Note restructure results in a “bad” loan which is charged off and a “good” loan or loans, the terms of which comply with the Bank’s customary underwriting policies. The debt charged off on the “bad” loan is not forgiven to the debtor.

Information regarding TDRs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020, is shown in the following table (dollars in thousands). There were no TDRs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had nominal unadvanced commitments to borrowers whose loans have been restructured in TDRs.

In addition to the loans shown in the tables above, PrimeLending had $101.2 million and $102.7 million of loans included in loans held for sale (with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $102.4 million and $104.0 million, respectively) that were 90 days past due and accruing interest at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These loans are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and include loans that are subject to repurchase, or have been repurchased, by PrimeLending.

Management tracks credit quality trends on a quarterly basis related to: (i) past due levels, (ii) non-performing asset levels, (iii) classified loan levels and (iv) general economic conditions in state and local markets.

A description of the risk rating internal grades for commercial loans is presented in the following table.

Risk Rating

Internal Grade

Risk Rating Description

Pass low risk

1 - 3

Represents loans to very high credit quality commercial borrowers of investment or near investment grade. These borrowers have significant capital strength, moderate leverage, stable earnings and growth, and readily available financing alternatives. Smaller entities, regardless of strength, would generally not fit in these grades. Commercial borrowers entirely cash secured are also included in this category.

Pass normal risk

4 - 7

Represents loans to commercial borrowers of solid credit quality with moderate risk. Borrowers in these grades are differentiated from higher grades on the basis of size (capital and/or revenue), leverage, asset quality and the stability of the industry or market area.

Pass high risk

8 - 10

Represents "pass grade" loans to commercial borrowers of higher, but acceptable credit quality and risk. Such borrowers are differentiated from Pass Normal Risk in terms of size, secondary sources of repayment or they are of lesser stature in other key credit metrics in that they may be over-leveraged, under capitalized, inconsistent in performance or in an industry or an economic area that is known to have a higher level of risk, volatility, or susceptibility to weaknesses in the economy.

Watch

11

Represents loans on management's "watch list" and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade commercial borrowers where a significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term.

Special mention

12

Represents loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans and weaken the Company's credit position at some future date.

Substandard accrual

13

Represents loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest has not been stopped, but are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Substandard non-accrual

14

Represents loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest has been stopped and includes loans where interest is more than 90 days past due and not fully secured and loans where a specific valuation allowance may be necessary.

Doubtful

15

Represents loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, that are placed on non-accrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty.

Loss

16

Represents loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, that are to be charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. Rating is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

For 1-4 family residential and consumer loans, the Company utilizes separate credit models designed for these types of loans to estimate the PD and LGD grades for the allowance for credit losses calculation. The primary driver of the PD score is the borrower's FICO score at origination. A portion of the Company’s 1-4 family residential loans were acquired as part of a FDIC-assisted transaction in 2013 and the FICO information at origination was incomplete. The credit scores were refreshed in 2016 and these new scores were used as a proxy for the FICO score at origination. New originations and loan purchases are scored using the FICO score at origination. FICO score bands are assigned following prevalent industry standards and are used as the credit quality indicator for these types of loans. Substandard non-accrual loans are treated as a separate category in the credit scoring grid as the probability of default is 100% and the FICO score is no longer a relevant predictor.

The following table presents loans held for investment grouped by asset class and credit quality indicator, segregated by year of origination or renewal (in thousands).

(1)    Loans classified in this category were assigned a FICO score based on various factors specific to the borrower for credit modeling purposes.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment

The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment represents management’s best estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our existing portfolio. Management revised its methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses upon the implementation of CECL. Management considers the level of allowance for credit losses to be a reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio as of March 31, 2020. While the Company believes it has an appropriate allowance for the existing loan portfolio at March 31, 2020, additional provision for losses on existing loans may be necessary in the future. Future changes in the allowance for credit losses are expected to be volatile given dependence upon, among other things, the portfolio composition and quality, as well as the impact of significant drivers, including prepayment assumptions and macroeconomic conditions and forecasts. In addition to the allowance for credit losses, the Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, and this amount is included in other liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements). For further information on the policies that govern the estimation of the allowances for credit losses levels, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

The increase in the allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment during the first quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to changes within the Bank. As previously discussed, the Company adopted the new CECL standard and recorded transition adjustment entries that resulted in an allowance for credit losses of $73.7 million as of January 1, 2020, an increase of $12.6 million. This increase included an increase in credit losses of $18.9 million from the expansion of the loss horizon to life of loan, partially offset by the elimination of the non-credit component within the historical allowance related to previously categorized PCI loans of $6.3 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, reserves on individually evaluated loans increased $17.6 million, while reserves on expected losses of collectively evaluated loans increased primarily due to the increase in the expected lifetime credit losses under CECL attributable to the deteriorating economic outlook associated with the impact of the market disruption caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. While not material, the change in the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was also attributable to other factors including, but not limited to, loan growth, loan mix and changes in risk rating grades.
