U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise Debt Securities and U.S. Government Agency Debt Securities

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held certain debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. The Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The Company evaluates these securities for credit losses by reviewing current market conditions, the extent and nature of changes in fair value, credit ratings, default and delinquency rates and current analysts’ evaluations. The Company believes the decline in fair value on these debt securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and investment securities markets, generally, and not credit quality. As a result, the Company did not record an ACL on these securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Corporate Debt Securities

Investments in corporate debt securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023 include: (i) securities considered “investment-grade-quality,” primarily issued by financial institutions, with a fair value of $227.4 million ($258.8 million at December 31, 2022) and total unrealized losses of $27.1 million at that date ($24.1 million at December 31, 2022), and (ii) securities considered “non-investment-grade-quality,” primarily issued by financial institutions and companies in the technology industry, with a fair value of $19.9 million ($16.9 million at December 31, 2022) and total unrealized losses of $7.1 million at that date ($2.1 million at December 31, 2022).


As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , our corporate debt securities available for sale issued by financial institutions were primarily “investment-grade-quality”, and had a fair value of $179.9 million and $206.3 million, respectively, and net unrealized losses of $25.3 million and $16.6 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2022, the Bank had one corporate debt security held for sale (the “Signature Bond”) issued by Signature Bank, N.A. (“Signature”) with a fair value $9.1 million and unrealized loss of $0.9 million. At December 31, 2022, the Signature Bond was in an unrealized loss position for less than one than year. On March 12, 2023, Signature was closed by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. The FDIC, as receiver, announced that shareholders and certain unsecured debt holders will not be protected. On March 27, 2023, the Bank sold the Signature Bond in an open market transaction and realized a pretax loss on sale of approximately $9.5 million which is recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

In May 2023, the Company sold a portion of its investment in a corporate debt security held for sale issued by a financial institution, to reduce single point exposure. The Company had proceeds of $0.8 million and realized a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million in connection with this transaction. This loss was recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company does not intend to sell its investments in corporate debt securities available for sale and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery. The Company evaluates corporate debt securities for credit losses by reviewing various qualitative and quantitative factors such as current market conditions, the extent and nature of changes in fair value, credit ratings, default and delinquency rates, and current analysts’ evaluations. The Company believes the decline in fair value on these debt securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and investment securities markets, generally, and not credit quality. As a result, the Company did not record an ACL on these securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Beginning January 1, 2022, the Company evaluates all debt securities held to maturity quarterly to determine if any securities in an unrealized loss position require an ACL. The Company considers that all debt securities held to maturity issued or sponsored by the U.S. government are considered to be risk-free as they have the backing of the government. The Company believes there are not current expected credit losses on these securities and, therefore, did not record an ACL on any of its debt securities held to maturity as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company monitors the credit quality of held to maturity securities through the use of credit ratings. Credit ratings are monitored by the Company on at least a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all debt securities held to maturity held by the Company were rated investment grade or higher.
