As reflected in the table above, gross unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $42,819,000 at March 31, 2025 and $47,806,000 at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, the Corporation did not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell, these securities before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. The unrealized holding losses were consistent with increases in market interest rates that have occurred subsequent to the purchase of most of the securities.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management performed an assessment for possible credit losses of the Corporation’s debt securities on an issue-by-issue basis, relying on information obtained from various sources, including publicly available financial data, ratings by external agencies, brokers and other sources. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the Corporation’s holdings of bank holding company debt securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and private label commercial mortgage-backed securities were investment grade and there have been no payment defaults.

Based on the results of the assessment, there was no ACL required on available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

There were no gross realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities by contractual maturity are shown in the following table as of March 31, 2025. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because counterparties may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations have stated maturities that may differ from actual maturities due to borrowers’ ability to prepay obligations. Cash flows from such investments are dependent upon the performance of the underlying mortgage loans and are generally influenced by the level of interest rates. In the table above, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are shown in one period.

Investment securities carried at $168,981,000 at March 31, 2025 and $190,949,000 at December 31, 2024 were pledged as collateral for public deposits, trusts and certain other deposits as provided by law. See Note 8 for information concerning securities pledged to secure borrowing arrangements.
