Loans | Loans Management segments the Banks' loan portfolio to a level that enables risk and performance monitoring according to similar risk characteristics. Loans are segmented based on the underlying collateral characteristics. Categories include commercial, financial, and agricultural, real estate, and installment loans. Real estate loans are further segmented into three categories: residential, commercial, and construction, while installment loans are classified as either consumer automobile loans or other installment loans. The following table presents the related aging categories of loans, by class, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
As of March 31, 2025, loans that were ninety days past due or greater and still accruing totaled $4,105,000, compared to a total of $4,516,000 at December 31, 2024. The Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") related to loans consists of loans evaluated collectively and individually for expected credit losses. The ACL related to loans represents an estimate of expected credit losses over the expected life of the loans as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to net loans. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposure includes estimated losses on unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit and other off balance sheet credit exposures and is recorded in other liabilities. The total ACL is increased by charges to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. The following table presents the components of the ACL as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Non-Accrual Loans
Total interest income recorded on non-accrual loans at March 31, 2025 totaled $55,000 for the three month period ended. The following table presents outstanding loan balances of collateral-dependent loans by class as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Loan Modifications The ACL incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the ACL is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. Loans considered modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty amounted to $3,794,000 and $4,319,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The amount of foreclosed residential real estate held at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, totaled $897,000 and $1,496,000, respectively. Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, totaled $897,000 and $1,693,000, respectively. Internal Credit Ratings Management uses a ten point internal credit rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are evaluated for substandard classification. Loans in the doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses found in the substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are more pronounced. Such loans are static and collection in full is improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charge-off is imminent. To help ensure that credit ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Banks have a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. An external semi-annual loan review of large commercial relationships is performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. The 2025 loan review will evaluate the Banks' outstanding commercial portfolio which can consist of outstanding loans, commercial real estate mortgages and outstanding commitments. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss on a quarterly basis. The following table presents the credit quality categories identified above as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Allowance for Credit Losses Maintaining an appropriate Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") is dependent on various factors, including the ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner. For commercial construction, residential construction, commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate, an internal credit rating process is used. Management believes that internal credit ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for these types of loans. The migration of loans through the various internal credit rating categories is a significant component of the ACL methodology for these loans, which bases the probability of default on this migration. Assigning credit ratings involves judgment. The Company's loan review process provide a separate assessment of credit rating accuracy. Credit ratings may be changed based on the ongoing monitoring procedures performed by loan officers or credit administration staff or if specific loan review assessments identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loans. Management considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the ACL. The Company does not assign internal Credit ratings to smaller balance, homogeneous loans, such as home equity, residential mortgage, and consumer automobile loans. For these loans, the most relevant credit quality indicator is delinquency status and management evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan. Historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors. A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing the charge-off and recovery data over the past ten years. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint. Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ACL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ACL. Activity in the allowance is presented for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
The shift in allocation and the changes in the provision for credit losses are primarily due to changes in the credit metrics within the loan portfolio, a recovery on a commercial loan, and a decline in the historical loss rates over the look back period which reduced the probability of default and loss given default applied to the loan portfolio when determining the level of the allowance for credit losses. The fluctuation in provision for consumer automobile loans was driven by the level of net charge- offs, an uncertain economic outlook, and portfolio growth. The provision for residential real estate increased due to the uncertain economic outlook. The level of provision for commercial, financial, and agricultural was primarily the result of net recoveries for the three month period which influenced the default assumptions in the model along with a decline in the historical loss rates over the look back period. The provision for commercial real estate decreased for the three month period due to strong credit metrics of the portfolio and a reduction in the loss probability based on the ten year look back period. The ACL for real estate construction remained stable as the portfolio balance decreased slightly. The Company makes commercial, industrial, residential, and installment loans to customers primarily throughout north-east and central Pennsylvania. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions within this region. The Company has a concentration of the following to gross loans at March 31, 2025 and 2024:
Exposure to non-owner occupied office space at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $13,658,000 and $14,076,000, respectively, with none of these loans being delinquent.
