PEOPLES FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Basis of Presentation:
Peoples Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Company has two subsidiaries, PFC Service Corp., an inactive company, and The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi (the “Bank”). The Bank provides a full range of banking, financial and trust services to state, county and local government entities and individuals and small and commercial businesses operating in those portions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama which are within a fifty-mile radius of the Waveland, Wiggins and Gautier branches, the Bank’s three most outlying locations (the “trade area”).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods presented. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry.
The Company’s loan portfolio segments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:
Real Estate Loans
Residential-Residential mortgage loans are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions, increases in unemployment rates, and declining real estate values.
Construction-Risk common to commercial construction loans are cost overruns, changes in market demand for property, inadequate long-term financing arrangements, and declines in real estate values. Residential construction loans are susceptible to those same risks as well as those associated with residential mortgage loans. Changes in market demand for property could lead to longer marketing times resulting in higher carrying costs, declining values, and higher interest rates.
Nonresidential-Risks to this loan category include industry concentration and the inability to monitor the condition of collateral. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt, declines in real estate values, and lack of suitable alternative use for properties. These loans are also susceptible to declines in occupancy rates, business failure, and general economic conditions.
Commercial and Industrial-Risk to this loan category include industry concentration and the practical limitations associated with monitoring the condition of the collateral which often consists of inventory, accounts receivable, and other non-real estate assets. Equipment and inventory obsolescence can also pose a risk. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt.
Other-Risk common to these loans include regulatory risks, unemployment, changes in local economic conditions, and the inability to monitor collateral consisting of personal property.
Accounting Standards Update –In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-02 (“ASU 2024-02”), Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. ASU 2024-02 removes various references to the FASB’s Concepts Statements from the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (Codification or GAAP). The Concepts Statements are non-authoritative guidance issued by the FASB that provide the objectives, qualitative characteristics and other concepts that govern the development of accounting principles by the FASB. ASU 2024-02 applies to all reporting entities and updates the Codification by eliminating 16 discrete references to the Concepts Statements across a variety of defined terms and Topics within the Codification. Codification users should review the entirety of ASU 2024-02 to assess any effects that the amendments may have on entities that are within the ASU’s scope. The FASB does not expect these updates to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. That is because in most cases the amendments to the Codification remove references to Concept Statements that are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. However, the FASB has provided transition guidance if applying the updated guidance results in accounting changes for some entities. The amendments in ASU 2024-02 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early application of the amended guidance is permitted for all entities, for any fiscal year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity can adopt ASU 2024-02 either on a prospective basis to all new transactions recognized on or after the date that the entity first applies the amendments, or retrospectively to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in which the amendments were first applied. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined there would be no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Accounting Standards Update –In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-01 (“ASU 2024-01”), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. ASU 2024-01 provides illustrative guidance to clarify the scope application of profits interest and similar awards. It clarifies how an entity determines where a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of ASC 718 or not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. For certain public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it should adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied either (1) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or (2) prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date at which the entity first applies the amendments. If the amendments are applied retrospectively, an entity is required to provide the disclosures in the period of adoption. If the amendments are applied prospectively, an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined there would be no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Accounting Standards Update –In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments of ASU 2023-09 relate to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The other amendments in this update improve the effectiveness and comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined there may be additional information required within the Company’s notes to consolidated financial statements on income taxes.
There were no material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that the Company uses when applying what management believes are critical accounting policies and developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” more commonly referred to as CECL, on a modified retrospective basis. The provisions of this guidance required a material change to the manner in which the Company estimated and reported losses on financial instruments, including loans and unfunded lending commitments, select securities and other assets carried at amortized cost.
Under CECL, the allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation account, measured as the difference between the Bank’s amortized cost basis and the net amount expected to be collected on the financial assets (i.e., lifetime credit losses). The CECL methodology described in FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (collectively, financial assets) including: financing receivables such as loans held for investment, held to maturity debt securities, off-balance-sheet credit exposures (unfunded commitments) including off-balance sheet loan commitments; standby letters of credit; and other similar instruments. The ACL is comprised of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), a valuation account available to absorb losses on loans and leases held for investment, and the Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments, a liability established to absorb credit losses for the expected life of the contractual term of on and off-balance sheet exposures as of the date of the determination.
In general, the Bank uses a broad range of data to estimate expected credit losses under CECL, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing the collectability of the cash flows of financial assets. The following represents an overview of key factors regarding CECL: CECL requires the Bank to measure expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost on a collective or pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Bank has determined that Call Report categories will be utilized, and Management will maintain the option to further segment the portfolio if we deem it beneficial to the analysis.
As stated above, CECL also applies to held to maturity debt securities since they are carried at amortized cost and are within the scope of the standard. Therefore, it is the responsibility of management to establish any required allowances for credit losses on the Bank’s held to maturity debt securities as of the date the Bank adopts CECL and to maintain such allowances thereafter. Because CECL requires the Bank to measure expected credit losses on a collective or pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist, held to maturity debt securities that share similar risk characteristics are collectively assessed for credit losses.
Estimation Methods for Expected Credit Losses-Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” does not require the use of a specific loss estimation method for purposes of determining ACLs. Various methods may be used to estimate the expected collectability of financial assets, with those methods generally applied consistently overtime. The same loss estimation method does not need to be applied to all financial assets. Loss-rate methods can involve a variety of approaches, and Management incorporates the methods below:
Open Pool or Snapshot Method
The starting point for the calculation consists of assets that are outstanding at the end of a given time frame and are made up of assets that were originated in various years. Additional assets may be added to pools of loans under an open pool method.
Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (WARM) Method
A loss-rate method that estimates expected credit losses over the remaining life of the financial assets and uses a weighted average of the assets’ contractual terms to estimate the pool’s remaining contractual term. The WARM method uses average annual net charge-off rates and the amortization adjusted remaining life considering prepayments plus qualitative adjustments to estimate the ACLs.
Qualitative Factor Adjustments
The estimation of ACLs is to reflect consideration of all significant factors relevant to the expected collectability of the Bank’s financial assets as of the reporting date. Management begins their expected credit loss estimation process by determining the Bank’s historical loss information.
Management is to consider the need to qualitatively adjust expected credit loss estimates for information not already captured in the loss estimation process. These qualitative factor adjustments may increase or decrease management’s estimate of expected credit losses.
Historical loss experience generally provides a quantitative starting point for Management’s estimate of expected credit losses. Consistent with FASB ASU Topic 326, Management must consider relevant qualitative factors that may cause the CECL estimate of the financial asset portfolio as of the evaluation date to differ from the historical loss experience.
Management is to consider the qualitative factors that are relevant to the Bank as of the reporting date, which may include but are not limited to the:
1. |
Nature and volume of the Bank’s financial assets. |
2. |
Existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit. |
3. |
Volume and severity of past due financial assets, the volume of nonaccrual assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded assets. Adversely classified or graded loans are loans rated “substandard” (or its equivalent) or worse under the institution’s loan classification system. |
4. |
Value of the underlying collateral for loans that are not collateral dependent. |
5. |
Bank’s lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries. |
6. |
Quality of the Bank’s credit review function. |
7. |
Experience, ability, and depth of the Bank’s lending, investment, collection, and other relevant management and staff. |
8. |
Effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal, and technological environments, competition, and events such as natural disasters. |
9. |
Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments in which the institution operates that affect the collectability of financial assets. Changes in economic and business conditions and developments included in qualitative factor adjustments are limited to those that affect the collectability of the Bank’s financial assets and are relevant to the Bank’s financial asset portfolios. |
The analysis and methodology used for estimating the ACL includes two primary elements: a collective approach for pools of loans that have similar risk characteristics and a specific reserve analysis for credits individually evaluated for credit loss. The WARM method uses comparable historical lookback periods as proxies for projecting future trends and employs a qualitative (“Q”) factor component in the projections which represents expected differences in current and forecasted conditions from historical loss information or conditions. The main methodology approach includes comparable risk pools which are segregated by call report loan category, unadjusted loss estimation which is a combination of open pool/snapshot and weighted average remaining maturity, comparable or “look back” periods, which the Bank chooses to best approximate the expected future loss environment for the WARM time period. The WARM time period considers the average amortized remaining life adjusted by prepayment assumptions based on peer data.
For the collective approach, the Bank segments loans into real estate-residential, real estate-nonresidential, real estate-construction and land development, commercial and industrial, and consumer/other, with further segmentation by region and sub-portfolio, as deemed appropriate. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are applied at the portfolio segment levels. The Bank applies the practical expedient that permits the exclusion of the accrued interest receivable balance from amortized cost basis of financing receivables. The Bank reverses interest income on loans that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the loan becomes 90 days past due, or earlier if management believes the collection of interest is doubtful. Management believes this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.
The Bank applies the expected future loss rate for each loan portfolio segment to each of the Bank’s segments to calculate the allowance for credit losses.
CECL also requires capturing estimated credit losses on unfunded commitments that meet certain criteria. Management starts with current gross unfunded commitment levels by category as reported on the call report and then subtracts any unconditionally cancellable amounts, which are not subject to CECL reserve requirements to produce net unfunded commitment levels, as well as consideration of the likelihood of funding. Any allowance for off balance sheet exposures is reported as an other liability on the Consolidated Statement of Condition and is increased or decreased via the provision for credit losses account on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The Bank maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e., the commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The initial default loss rates are then estimated by taking expected future lifetime loss rates of the loan categories that are included in each unfunded commitment segment and dividing the lifetime rate by their respective WARMs to derive an annual loss rate estimate. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical study and empirical data calculated by the Federal Deposits Insurance Corporation, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance is classified on the Consolidated Statement of Condition within other liabilities.
The Bank establishes specific reserves using an individually evaluated approach for nonaccrual loans, modified loans, and other financial instruments that are deemed to not share risk characteristics with other collectively evaluated financial assets. For loans individually evaluated, a specific allowance is recognized for any shortfall between the loan’s value and its recorded investment. The loan’s value is measured by either the loan’s observable market price, the fair value of the collateral of the loan (less liquidation costs) if it is collateral dependent, or by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The Bank applies the practical expedient and defines collateral dependent loans as those where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and on which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.
The CECL standard also requires an assessment of the Bank’s held to maturity debt securities for expected credit losses and the available for sale debt securities for credit-related impairment. The Bank applies the practical expedient to exclude the accrued interest receivable balance of $
