Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” was adopted by Trustmark on January 1, 2020. ASU 2016-13 introduces the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 applies to all financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including securities held to maturity, and makes targeted improvements to the accounting for credit losses on securities available for sale.

Under ASU 2016-13, the allowance for credit losses is an estimate measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets.

In order to comply with ASU 2016-13, Trustmark conducted a review of its investment portfolio and determined that for certain classes of securities it would be appropriate to assume the expected credit loss to be zero. This zero-credit loss assumption applies to debt issuances of the U.S. Treasury and agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government. The reasons behind the adoption of the zero-credit loss assumption were as follows:

Trustmark will continuously monitor any changes in economic conditions, credit downgrades, changes to explicit or implicit guarantees granted to certain debt issuers, and any other relevant information that would indicate potential credit deterioration and prompt Trustmark to reconsider its zero-credit loss assumption.

At the date of adoption, Trustmark’s estimated allowance for credit losses on securities available for sale and held to maturity under ASU 2016-13 was deemed immaterial due to the composition of these portfolios. Both portfolios consist primarily of U.S. government agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities for which the risk of loss is minimal. Therefore, Trustmark did not recognize a cumulative effect adjustment through retained earnings related to the available for sale or held to maturity securities.

ASU 2016-13 makes targeted improvements to the accounting for credit losses on securities available for sale. The concept of other-than-temporarily impaired has been replaced with the allowance for credit losses. Unlike securities held to maturity, securities available for sale are evaluated on an individual level and pooling of securities is not allowed.

Quarterly, Trustmark evaluates if any security has a fair value less than its amortized cost. Once these securities are identified, in order to determine whether a decline in fair value resulted from a credit loss or other factors, Trustmark performs further analysis as outlined below:

The DCF analysis utilizes contractual maturities, as well as third-party credit ratings and cumulative default rates published annually by Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s).

At June 30, 2020, the results of the analysis did not identify any securities that violate the credit loss triggers; therefore, no DCF analysis was performed and no credit loss was recognized on any of the securities available for sale.

Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses for securities available for sale. At June 30, 2020, accrued interest receivable totaled $4.2 million for securities available for sale and was reported in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

ASU 2016-13 requires institutions to measure expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost on a collective or pool basis when similar risks exist. Trustmark uses several levels of segmentation in order to measure expected credit losses:

As discussed above, Trustmark has determined that for certain classes of securities it would be appropriate to assume the expected credit loss to be zero, which include debt issuances of the U.S. Treasury and agencies and instrumentalities of the United States government. This assumption will be reviewed and attested to quarterly. Trustmark is using an internally built model to verify the accuracy of third-party provided calculations.

At June 30, 2020, Trustmark’s securities held to maturity totaled $660.0 million. The potential credit loss exposure was $31.5 million and consisted of municipal securities. After applying appropriate probability of default and loss given default assumptions, the total amount of current expected credit losses was deemed immaterial. Therefore, no reserve was recorded at June 30, 2020.

Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses for securities held to maturity. At June 30, 2020, accrued interest receivable totaled $1.4 million for securities held to maturity and was reported in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

At June 30, 2020, Trustmark had no securities held to maturity that were past due 30 days or more as to principal or interest payments. Trustmark had no securities held to maturity classified as nonaccrual at June 30, 2020.

Trustmark monitors the credit quality of securities held to maturity on a monthly basis through credit ratings. The following table presents the amortized cost of Trustmark’s securities held to maturity by credit rating, as determined by Moody’s, at June 30, 2020 ($ in thousands):

(1) Not rated securities primarily consist of Mississippi municipal general obligations.

The following tables are a summary of the amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale and held to maturity at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 ($ in thousands):

During 2013, Trustmark reclassified approximately $1.099 billion of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities held to maturity. At the date of transfer, the net unrealized holding loss on the available for sale securities totaled approximately $46.6 million ($28.8 million, net of tax). The net unrealized holding loss is amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. At June 30, 2020, the net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying balance sheet totaled approximately $10.5 million ($7.9 million, net of tax) compared to approximately $12.1 million ($9.1 million, net of tax) at December 31, 2019.

The unrealized losses shown above are due to increases in market rates over the yields available at the time of purchase of the underlying securities and not credit quality. Trustmark does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that Trustmark will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. Prior to the adoption of FASB ASU 2016-13, Trustmark did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2019. There were no other-than-temporary impairments for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no gross realized gains or losses as a result of calls and dispositions of securities. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in noninterest income as security gains (losses), net.

Securities with a carrying value of $1.974 billion and $1.770 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were pledged to collateralize public deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements and for other purposes as permitted by law. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of these securities were pledged under the Federal Reserve Discount Window program to provide additional contingency funding capacity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale and held to maturity at June 30, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below ($ in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
