LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES

Loans

Farmer Mac classifies loans as either held for investment or held for sale. Loans held for investment are recorded at the unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premium or discount and other cost adjustments. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value determined on a pooled basis. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, Farmer Mac had no loans held for sale. The following table displays the composition of the loan balances as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Unpaid principal balance is the basis of presentation in disclosures of outstanding balances for Farmer Mac's lines of business.

Allowance for Losses

Farmer Mac maintains an allowance for losses presented in two components on its consolidated balance sheets: (1) an allowance for loan losses to account for estimated probable losses on loans held, and (2) a reserve for losses to account for estimated probable losses on loans underlying LTSPCs and off-balance sheet Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities (excluding AgVantage securities).  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, Farmer Mac's total allowances for losses were $7.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively. See Note 6 for more information about off-balance sheet Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities and LTSPCs.  

The following is a summary of the changes in the total allowance for losses for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

During 2016, Farmer Mac recorded provisions to its allowance for loan losses of $1.1 million and releases to its reserve for losses of $0.1 million. The provisions to the allowance for loan losses recorded during 2016 were attributable to an increase in the general allowance due to overall net volume growth in on-balance sheet Farm & Ranch loans and downgrades in risk ratings for certain loans. The releases to the reserve for losses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016 were attributable to the release of a specific reserve on an impaired livestock loan underlying an LTSPC that was required to be removed from the LTSPC pool by the originator during 2016. Farmer Mac recorded $0.1 million of charge-offs to its allowance for loan losses during 2016.

During 2015, Farmer Mac recorded provisions to its allowance for loan losses of $2.4 million and releases to its reserve for losses of $2.2 million. The provisions to the allowance for loan losses recorded during 2015 were primarily attributable to the establishment of a specific allowance for two Agricultural Storage and Processing loans that financed one canola facility. Farmer Mac recognized a charge-off of $3.7 million in fourth quarter 2015 on those loans. The provisions to the allowance for losses were offset by the reduction in the specific allowance for a permanent planting loan based on the updated appraised value of the collateral underlying such loan and releases to the general reserve from the reserve for losses due to substantial paydowns of Agricultural Storage and Processing loans underlying LTSPCs due to repayments of these loans at par.

During 2014, Farmer Mac recorded releases from its allowance for loan losses of $1.0 million and releases from its reserve for losses of $2.2 million, primarily related to a decrease in the balance of its ethanol loans as well as a general improvement in the quality of the ethanol loans held and loans underlying LTSPCs. Farmer Mac recorded $0.1 million of charge-offs and recoveries of $45,000 to its allowance for loan losses during 2014.

(2) 
Includes $12.4 million of loans that are less than 90 days delinquent but which have not met Farmer Mac's performance criteria for returning to accrual status.

Impairment analysis was performed in the aggregate in consideration of similar risk characteristics of the assets and historical statistics on $46.4 million (61 percent) of impaired loans as of December 31, 2015, which resulted in a specific allowance of $1.0 million.
(2) 
Includes $14.7 million of loans that are less than 90 days delinquent but which have not met Farmer Mac's performance criteria for returning to accrual status.


The following table presents by commodity type the average recorded investment and interest income recognized on impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

A modification to the contractual terms of a loan that results in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties is considered a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Farmer Mac has granted a concession when, as a result of the restructuring, it does not expect to collect all amounts due in a timely manner, including interest accrued at the original contract rate. In making its determination of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, Farmer Mac considers several factors, including whether (1) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy, (2) there is substantial doubt as to whether the borrower will continue to be a going concern, and (3) the borrower can obtain funds from other sources at an effective interest rate at or near a current market interest rate for debt with similar risk characteristics. Farmer Mac evaluates TDRs similarly to other impaired loans for purposes of the allowance for losses. For the year ended December 31, 2016, there were no TDRs. For the year ended ended December 31, 2015, the recorded investment of loans determined to be TDRs was $1.1 million both before and after restructuring. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the recorded investment of loans determined to be TDRs was $5.3 million before restructuring and $6.0 million after restructuring. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no TDRs identified during the previous 12 months that were in default under the modified terms. The impact of TDRs on Farmer Mac's allowance for loan losses was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

When particular criteria are met, such as the default of the borrower, Farmer Mac becomes entitled to purchase the defaulted loans underlying Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities (commonly referred to as "removal-of-account" provisions).  Farmer Mac records all such defaulted loans at their unpaid principal balance during the period in which Farmer Mac becomes entitled to purchase the loans and therefore regains effective control over the transferred loans. In accordance with the terms of all LTSPCs, Farmer Mac acquires loans that are either 90 days or 120 days delinquent (depending on the provisions of the applicable agreement) upon the request of the counterparty. Subsequent to the purchase, these defaulted loans are treated as nonaccrual loans and, therefore, interest is accounted for on the cash basis.  Any decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment.

During the year ended ended December 31, 2016, Farmer Mac purchased eight defaulted loans having an unpaid principal balance of $2.5 million from pools underlying LTSPCs and Farm & Ranch Guaranteed Securities. During the year ended ended December 31, 2015, Farmer Mac purchased six defaulted loans having an unpaid principal balance of $16.9 million from pools underlying Farm & Ranch Guaranteed Securities. During 2014, Farmer Mac purchased two defaulted loans having an unpaid principal balance of $0.7 million from a pool underlying an LTSPC.
The following tables present information related to Farmer Mac's acquisition of defaulted loans for the years ended ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and the outstanding balances and carrying amounts of all such loans as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Assets in the "Special mention" category generally have potential weaknesses due to performance issues but are currently considered to be adequately secured.  
(3) 
Substandard assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses and there is a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if deficiencies are not corrected.

The original loan-to-value ratio is calculated by dividing the loan principal balance at the time of guarantee, purchase, or commitment by the appraised value at the date of loan origination or, when available, the updated appraised value at the time of guarantee, purchase, or commitment.  Current loan-to-value ratios may be higher or lower than the original loan-to-value ratios.
