13. DERIVATIVES

During the second quarter of 2023 the Company entered into a pay fixed / received variable interest rate swap with a notional amount of $75,000 which has a fixed rate of 3.28%, a maturity of five years and is designated against either a mix of one-month FHLB advances or brokered certificates of deposit. The Company will utilize, from time to time, interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At March 31, 2024, the derivative contract is used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with monthly brokered deposits.

 

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The amount reclassified to interest expense was $386 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.2 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.

The Company recorded $2,051 and $716 within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which represented the fair value of this derivative at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
