The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain issuers may have the right to call or prepay the debt obligations prior to their contractual maturities.  Securities not due at a single maturity are shown separately.

Management evaluates AFS debt securities in unrealized positions to determine whether impairment is due to credit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At March 31, 2025, the Company had 93 AFS debt securities in an unrealized position without an ACL, of which 13 were from U.S. Government securities, 3 were from U.S. Government sponsored entity securities, and 77 were from Agency mortgage-backed residential securities. Comparatively at December 31, 2024, the Company had 96 AFS debt securities in an unrealized position without an ACL, of which 16 were from U.S. Government securities, 3 were from U.S. Government sponsored entity securities, and 77 were from Agency mortgage-backed residential securities. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and, therefore, the Company carried no ACL on AFS debt securities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the activity in the ACL for HTM debt securities:

The Company’s HTM securities consist of obligations of states and political subdivisions. The ACL on HTM securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type.  Risk factors such as issuer bond ratings, historical loss rates, financial condition of issuer, and timely principal and interest payments of issuer were evaluated to determine if a credit reserve was required within the portfolio. At March 31, 2025, there were no past due principal and interest payments related to HTM securities. During the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, the cumulative loss rate remained at 0.02%, resulting in no change to provision expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
