Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2021

Fair value represents the estimated price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price concept).

The valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are described in the Fair Value Measurements note in the Corporation’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table below presents the Corporation’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

The closing ratio on interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale is a Level 3 measurement, and was 88% at June 30, 2021.

The following table presents the carrying value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values still held as of June 30, 2021 that are measured under the measurement alternative and the related adjustments recorded during the periods

presented for those securities with observable price changes. These securities are included in the nonrecurring fair value tables when applicable price changes are observable. Also shown are the cumulative upward and downward adjustments for the Corporation's equity securities without readily determinable fair values as of June 30, 2021:

(a) Includes probable TDRs which are individually analyzed, net of the related allowance for credit losses.
(b) If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no charge off or adjustment is necessary, the asset is not considered to be carried at fair value, and is therefore not included in the table.
(c) Includes the full year impact on the consolidated statements of income
(d) When a property's value is written down at the time it is transferred to OREO, the charge off is booked to the provision for credit losses. When a property is already in OREO and subsequently written down, the charge off is booked to other noninterest expense.

Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the fair value analysis in the goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The Corporation's significant Level 3 measurements which employ unobservable inputs that are readily quantifiable pertain to MSRs and individually evaluated loans.

The table below presents information about these inputs and further discussion is found above:
