5.         Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Credit Quality Indicators

 

A Loan Risk Rating Grading System has been developed and is being utilized to categorize loans with similar characteristics. There are six (6) “Pass” Ratings and the standard “Classified” Watchlist Ratings. The loans are assessed based upon the information in the Loan Committee Package and a lender identified score. Further, any reassessment would be performed when the annual loan review is performed or when the loan account exhibits signs of financial difficulty or improvement. The definition of each Loan Risk Rating is outlined below:

 

Pass (Grades 1-6) – These loans are to customers with credit quality ranging from an acceptable to very high quality and are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

 

Special Mention (Grade 7) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

 

Substandard (Grade 8) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful (Grade 9) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

 

Loss (Grade 10) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

 

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay the loan as agreed, the Company’s loan rating process includes several layers of internal and external oversight. The Company’s loan officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in each of their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis under the supervision of management.  All commercial, agricultural and state and political relationships over $500,000 are reviewed annually to ensure the appropriateness of the loan grade. In addition, the Company engages an external consultant on an annual basis to: 1) review a minimum of 50% of the dollar volume of the commercial and agricultural loan portfolios, including 2) review of a sample of existing or new credit relationships with aggregate commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million, 3) review a sample of loan relationships which are over 90 days past due, or classified Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss, 4) review a sample of borrowings extended to directors or executive officers, including any new borrowings made in the last year, and 5) review of other loans which management may deem appropriate.

 

 

The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company's internal risk rating system as of  September 30, 2025 and  December 31, 2024 and gross year-to-date charge-offs for the respective periods (in thousands):

The Company individually evaluates loans for impairment when a loan meets the following criteria: credit risk rated substandard or doubtful and on non-accrual status, or a previously modified loan that is now past due 30 days or more. 

 

The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Under ASU 2016-13, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. The following table details the amortized costs of the collateral dependent loans as of  September 30, 2025 and  December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Modifications

 

In situations where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, management grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, and the modification results in a more than insignificant change in contractual cash flows, the related loan is subject to specific disclosure requirements.  Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loans to more affordable terms before their loans reach nonaccrual status.  These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. Occasionally, we may modify a loan by providing principal forgiveness. In some cases, we will modify a loan by providing multiple types, or combinations, of concessions.

 

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at September 30, 2025 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The percentage of amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each financing receivable is also presented below.  All loan categories with modifications are included in the table below (in thousands):

Unfunded Commitments

 

The Company 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 by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses and is included in provision for (recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $277,000 and $377,000 at  September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
