Impairment Analysis
The following impairment analysis summarizes the basis for evaluating if investment securities within the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios are other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2019. Unless otherwise noted for an investment security type, management does not intend to sell these investment securities and has determined, based upon available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investment securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. As such, based on the following impairment analysis, the Company does not consider any of these investment securities, in unrealized loss positions, to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Agency CMO. There were unrealized losses of $0.9 million on the Company’s investment in Agency CMO at December 31, 2019, compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2018. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates while principal balances decreased for this asset class since December 31, 2018. These investments are issued by a government or government sponsored agency and therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or implicit. There has been no change in the credit quality, and the contractual cash flows are performing as expected.

Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market rates, while principal balances increased for this asset class since December 31, 2018.

CLO. There were unrealized losses of $468 thousand on the Company’s investments in CLO at December 31, 2019 compared to $2.0 million of unrealized losses at December 31, 2018.

For the maturity schedule above, mortgage-backed securities and CLO, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been categorized based on the maturity date of the underlying collateral. Actual principal cash flows may differ from this maturity date presentation as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had a carrying value of $1.3 billion in callable debt securities in its CMBS, CLO, and municipal bond portfolios. The Company considers prepayment risk in the evaluation of its interest rate risk profile. These maturities may not reflect actual durations, which may be impacted by prepayments.
Investment securities with a carrying value totaling $2.7 billion at December 31, 2019 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2018 were pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes, as required or permitted by law.
