The Bank has a purchased portfolio of rehabilitated student loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education (“DOE”). The guarantee covers approximately 98% of principal and accrued interest. The loans are serviced by a third-party servicer that specializes in handling the special needs of the DOE student loan programs.

Loans pledged as collateral with the FHLB as part of their lending arrangement with the Company totaled $54.8 million and $35.5 million as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table provides information on nonaccrual loans segregated by type at the dates indicated (in thousands):

There were no individual allowances associated with the total nonaccrual loans of $281,000 and $291,000 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that were considered collateral dependent.

The Company recognized $7,000 of interest on nonaccrual loans outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Management considers the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination.  Generally, current period renewals of credit are reunderwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below.

As of March 31, 2024, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans based on year of origination is as follows (in thousands):

Loans greater than 90 days past due consist of student loans that are guaranteed by the DOE which covers approximately 98% of the principal and interest. Accordingly, these loans will not be placed on nonaccrual status and are not considered to be impaired.

Loans that are individually evaluated for credit losses are limited to loans that have specific risk characteristics that are not shared by other loans and based on current information and events it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts when due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. The repayment of these loans is expected to be substantially through the operations or the sale of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses on loans that are individually evaluated will be measured based on the fair value of the collateral either through operations or the sale of the collateral. When repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral, the allowance will be based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. Collateral dependent loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Collateral dependent loans are set forth in the following table as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Loan Modifications to Borrowers in Financial Difficulty

As part of its credit risk management, the Company may modify a loan agreement with a borrower experiencing financial difficulties through a refinancing or restructuring of the borrower’s loan agreement. There were no modified loans identified during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.  

In accordance with ASC 326, the Company has segmented its loan portfolio based on similar risk characteristics by call report code. The Company’s forecast of estimated expected losses is based on a twelve-month forecast of the national rate of unemployment and external observations of historical loan losses. The Company uses the Federal Open Market Committee’s projection of unemployment for its reasonable and supportable forecasting of current expected credit losses. For the periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, projections of expected credit losses are based on a reversion to the long-run mean for the national unemployment rate. To further adjust the allowance for credit losses for expected losses not already included within the quantitative component of the calculation, the Company may consider the following qualitative adjustment factors: changes in lending policies and procedures including changes in underwriting standards, and collections, charge-offs, and recovery practices, changes in international, national, regional, and local conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans, changes in experience, depth, and ability of lending management, changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions, changes in the quality of the organization’s loan review system, changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of such concentrations, and the effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans is as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Loans are required to be measured at amortized costs and to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Off balance sheet credit exposures, including loan commitments, are not recorded on balance sheet, but expected credit losses arising from off balance sheet credit exposures are recorded as a reserve for unfunded commitments and reported in Other Liabilities. Credit losses on available for sale debt securities are accounted for as an allowance for credit losses, which is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value and the amount expected to be collected on the financial assets. The allowance for credit losses on loans, available for sale debt securities and the reserve for unfunded commitments are established through a provision for credit losses charged against earnings.

The following table presents a breakdown of the provision for credit losses for the periods indicated (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was $3.89 million and included an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.57 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $320,000.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $136,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was the result of loan growth as all credit metrics remained strong compared to year-end 2023. Non-performing loans as a percentage of loans decreased from 0.12% at March 31, 2023 to 0.05% at March 31, 2024.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $13,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was driven by an increase in the total commitments outstanding at March 31, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio at the Company is 0.60% compared to the peer average of 1.11%, management considers this level of allowance sufficient and appropriate based on the current asset quality and assessment of the Company’s loan portfolio.

As of March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $3.53 million and included an allowance for credit losses on loans of $3.27 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $254,000.

The provision for credit for loans was driven by the increase in loan balances at March 31, 2023, while the recovery of credit losses for unfunded commitments was a result of the reduction in the total balance outstanding at March 31, 2023. The lack of an overall provision for credit losses was driven by stable local economic conditions and credit quality remaining strong. While higher inflation and the speed at which interest rates have been rising remain a risk to credit quality, we believe our current level of allowance for credit losses is sufficient.
