Total loans include net unearned discounts and deferred loan fees of $76.4 million at March 31, 2020 and net unearned premiums and deferred loan costs of $12.6 million at December 31, 2019. Net unearned discounts and deferred loan fees at March 31, 2020 include the non-credit discount on PCD loans.

Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans held for investment, totaled $87.3 million and $86.3 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Valley transferred and sold approximately $30.0 million and $100.0 million of residential mortgage loans from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Excluding the loan transfers, there were no sales of loans from the held for investment portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Credit Risk Management

For all of its loan types, Valley adheres to a credit policy designed to minimize credit risk while generating the maximum income given the level of risk appetite. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis with subsequent approval by the Board of Directors annually. Credit authority relating to a significant dollar percentage of the overall portfolio is centralized and controlled by the Credit Risk Management Division and by the Credit Committee. A reporting system supplements the management review process by providing management with frequent reports concerning loan production, loan quality, internal loan classification, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing, and potential problem loans. Loan portfolio diversification is an important factor utilized by Valley to manage its risk across business sectors and through cyclical economic circumstances. See Valley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further details.

Credit Quality

Loans are deemed to be past due when the contractually required principal and interest payments have not been received as they become due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status generally, when they become 90 days past due and the full and timely collection of principal and interest becomes uncertain. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current income. Cash collections from non-accrual loans are generally applied against principal, and no interest income is recognized on these loans until the principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible.

A loan in which the borrowers’ obligation has not been released in bankruptcy courts may be restored to an accruing basis when it becomes well secured and is in the process of collection, or all past due amounts become current under the loan agreement and collectability is no longer doubtful.
The following table presents past due, current and non-accrual loans without an allowance of for credit losses by loan portfolio class (including PCD loans) at March 31, 2020.

The following table presents past due, non-accrual and current loans by loan portfolio class at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans were excluded from past due and non-accrual loans reported because they continued to earn interest income from the accretable yield at the pool level. The PCI loan pools are accounted for as PCD loans (on a loan level basis with a related allowance for credit losses) under the CECL standard adopted at January 1, 2020 and reported in the past due loans and non-accrual loans in the tables above at March 31, 2020.

Credit quality indicators. Valley utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem loans within commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and construction loan portfolio classes. Under Valley’s internal risk rating system, loan relationships could be classified as "Pass," "Special Mention," "Substandard," "Doubtful," and "Loss." Substandard loans include loans that exhibit well-defined weakness and are characterized by the distinct possibility that Valley will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible with insignificant value and are charged-off immediately to the allowance for loan losses, and, therefore, not presented in the table below. Loans that do not currently pose a sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but pose weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention are deemed Special Mention. Loans rated as Pass do not currently pose any identified risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants.
The following table presents the internal loan classification risk by loan portfolio class by origination year (including PCD loans) based on the most recent analysis performed at March 31, 2020:

Troubled debt restructured loans. From time to time, Valley may extend, restructure, or otherwise modify the terms of existing loans, on a case-by-case basis, to remain competitive and retain certain customers, as well as assist other customers who may be experiencing financial difficulties. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been made at the time of such modification, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured loan (TDR). At the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Valley was not required to reassess whether modifications to individual PCI loans prior to January 1, 2020 met the TDR loan criteria.
The majority of the concessions made for TDRs involve lowering the monthly payments on loans through either a reduction in interest rate below a market rate, an extension of the term of the loan without a corresponding adjustment to the risk premium reflected in the interest rate, or a combination of these two methods. The concessions rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, Valley frequently obtains additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. If the borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous terms of the loan and Valley’s underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible.
Performing TDRs (not reported as non-accrual loans) totaled $48.0 million and $73.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Non-performing TDRs totaled $89.1 million and $65.1 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.




The following table presents the pre- and post-modification amortized cost of loans by loan class modified as TDRs (excluding PCI loans prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The total TDRs presented in the above table had allocated reserves for loan losses of $7.9 million and $7.9 million at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were $791 thousand and $913 thousand of partial charge-offs related to TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Valley did not extend any commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Loans modified as TDRs (excluding PCI loan modifications prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13) within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default (90 or more days past due) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact to certain customers, Valley implemented short-term loan modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant, when requested by customers. These modifications complied with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to provide temporary payment relief to those borrowers directly impacted by COVID-19 who were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. Generally, the modification terms allow for a deferral of payments for 90 days, which Valley may extend for an additional 90 days, for a maximum of 180 days on a cumulative and successive basis. As of March 31, 2020, Valley granted temporary modifications on approximately 2,100 loans, resulting in an immaterial amount of deferred interest payments for the first quarter 2020. Under the applicable guidance, none of these loans were considered TDRs as of March 31, 2020.
Loans in Process of Foreclosure. Other real estate owned (OREO) totaled $10.2 million and $9.4 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. OREO included foreclosed residential real estate properties totaling $2.6 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Residential mortgage and consumer loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process totaled $1.8 million and $2.8 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans
At March 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses for loans consisted of (1) the allowance for loan losses and (2) the allowance for unfunded credit commitments under the new CECL standard adopted on January 1, 2020. Prior periods reflect the allowance for credit losses for loans under the incurred loss model.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that is deducted from loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on loans. Valley's methodology to establish the allowance for loan losses has two basic components: (1) a collective (pooled) reserve component for estimated lifetime expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics and (2) an individual reserve component for loans that do not share risk characteristics.

Reserves for loans that share common risk characteristics. In estimating the component of the allowance on a collective basis, Valley uses a transition matrix model which calculates an expected life of loan loss percentage for each loan pool by generating probability of default and loss given default metrics. The metrics are based on the migration of loans from performing to loss by credit quality rating or delinquency categories using historical life-of-loan analysis periods for each loan portfolio pool, and the severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred. The model's expected losses based on loss history are adjusted for qualitative factors. Among other things, these adjustments include and account for differences in: (i) lending policies and procedures, (ii) current business conditions and economic developments that affect the loan collectability, (iii) concentration risks by size, type, and geography, new markets, (iv) the volume and migration of loans to non-performing status, and (v) the effect of external factors such as legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

Valley utilizes a two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period followed by a one-year period over which estimated losses revert to historical loss experience for the remaining life of the loan. The forecasts consist of a multi-scenario economic forecast model to estimate future credit losses that is governed by a cross-functional committee. The committee meets each quarter to determine which economic scenarios developed by Moody's will be incorporated into the model, as well as the relative probability weightings of the selected scenarios, based upon all readily available information. The model projects economic variables under each scenario based on detailed statistical analyses. Valley has identified and selected key variables that most closely correlated to our historical credit performance, which include: GDP, unemployment and the Case-Shiller Home Price Index.
Reserves for loans that that do not share risk characteristics. Valley measures specific reserves for individual loan that do not share common risk characteristics with other loans, consisting of collateral dependent, TDR, and expected TDR loans, based on the amount of lifetime expected credit losses calculated on those loans and charge-offs of those amounts determined to be uncollectible. Factors considered by Valley in measuring the extent of expected credit loss include payment status, collateral value, borrower financial condition, guarantor support and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. If repayment is based upon future expected cash flows, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate is compared to the carrying value of the loan, and any shortfall is recorded as the allowance for credit losses. The effective interest rate used to discount expected cash flows is adjusted to incorporate expected prepayments, if applicable.

When Valley determines that foreclosure is probable, collateral dependent loan balances are written down to the estimated current fair value (less estimated selling costs) of each loan’s underlying collateral resulting in an immediate charge-off to the allowance, excluding any consideration for personal guarantees that may be pursued in the Bank’s collection process. Valley elected a practical expedient to use the estimated current fair value (less estimated selling costs) of the collateral to measure expected credit losses on collateral dependent loans when foreclosure is not probable.

Commercial and industrial loans are primarily collateralized by taxi medallions in the table above. Commercial real estate loans are collateralized by real estate and construction loans are generally secured by the real estate to be developed and may also be secured by additional real estate to mitigate the risk. Residential and home equity loans are collateralized by residential real estate.

Allowance for Unfunded Credit Commitments

The allowance for unfunded credit commitments generally consists of undisbursed non-cancellable lines of credit, new loan commitments and commercial letters of credit valued using a similar methodology as used for loans. Management's estimate of expected losses inherent in these off-balance sheet credit exposures also incorporates estimated usage factors over the commitment's contractual period or an expected pull-through rate for new loan commitments. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments totaling $10.0 million at March 31, 2020 is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Impaired loans. Impaired loans disclosures presented below as of December 31, 2019 represent requirements prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. Impaired loans, consisting of non-accrual commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans over $250 thousand and all loans which were modified in troubled debt restructurings, were individually evaluated for impairment. PCI loans were not classified as impaired loans because they are accounted for on a pool basis.
