Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Periodically, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following tables represent those assets that were subject to fair value adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and still held as of the end of the period, and the related gains and losses from fair value adjustments on assets sold during the period as well as assets still held as of the end of the period.

The following is a description of the methodologies applied for valuing these assets:

OREO – OREO is recorded at the lower of recorded balance or fair value, which is based on appraisals and third-party price opinions, less estimated costs to sell. The fair value is classified as Level 3.

The tables below present information about the significant unobservable inputs for material assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

The following provides a description of the sensitivity of the valuation technique to changes in unobservable inputs for recurring fair value measurements.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs

Interest Rate Contracts - Interest Rate Lock Commitments

Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of interest rate contracts are pull-through and cap grids. Increases or decreases in the pull-through or cap grids will have a corresponding impact in the value of interest rate contracts.

Other Assets - MSRs

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of MSRs are option-adjusted spreads, constant prepayment rate or life speed, and cost to service assumptions. The impact of prepayments and changes in the option-adjusted spread are based on a variety of underlying inputs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The impact of the costs to service assumption will have a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the MSR asset.

Other Assets - SBIC Investments

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of SBIC Investments are initially based upon transaction price. Increases or decreases in valuation factors such as recent or proposed purchase or sale of debt or equity of the issuer, pricing by other dealers in similar securities, size of position held, liquidity of the market will have a corresponding impact in the value of SBIC investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments, excluding financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are as follows:

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected to apply the fair value option for single family real estate mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market. The election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments.

At both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected were 90 days or more past due or were in nonaccrual. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest and fees on loans in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Net gains (losses) of $2.6 million and $245 thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $(5.9) million and $(89) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for residential mortgage loans measured at fair value.



	Aggregate Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference
	(In Thousands)
March 31, 2020
Residential mortgage loans held for sale	$	117,752	$	111,440	$	6,312

Residential mortgage loans held for sale	$	112,058	$	108,345	$	3,713
