Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2025, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2025, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit-related losses. The unrealized loss with respect to the two bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more at June 30, 2025 was attributable to the subordinated nature of the trust preferred securities. The table below presents the amortized cost, fair value and total weighted-average yield of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2025. The weighted-average yields are based on the amortized cost. In some cases, the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties prior to the contractual maturity date. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | Within 1 Year | 1 to 5 Years | 5 to 10 Years | Over 10 Years | Total | | Amortized cost | | | | | | | Obligations of: | | | | | | | U.S. Treasury and government agencies | $ | 588 | $ | 1,274 | $ | 6,463 | $ | 5,391 | $ | 13,716 | | U.S. government sponsored agencies | 1,493 | 67,703 | 73,898 | 77,905 | 220,999 | | States and political subdivisions | 7,946 | 38,885 | 79,331 | 94,072 | 220,234 | | Residential mortgage-backed securities | 19 | 3,719 | 49,248 | 597,760 | 650,746 | | Commercial mortgage-backed securities | 995 | 9,912 | 25,976 | 23,014 | 59,897 | | Bank-issued trust preferred securities | — | 1,500 | 3,000 | — | 4,500 | | | | | | | | Total available-for-sale securities | $ | 11,041 | $ | 122,993 | $ | 237,916 | $ | 798,142 | $ | 1,170,092 | | Fair value | | | | | | | Obligations of: | | | | | | | U.S. Treasury and government agencies | $ | 587 | $ | 1,276 | $ | 6,614 | $ | 5,403 | $ | 13,880 | | U.S. government sponsored agencies | 1,465 | 63,622 | 71,188 | 74,581 | 210,856 | | States and political subdivisions | 7,878 | 37,138 | 68,785 | 79,562 | 193,363 | | Residential mortgage-backed securities | 19 | 3,654 | 46,348 | 526,520 | 576,541 | | Commercial mortgage-backed securities | 994 | 9,298 | 22,706 | 19,701 | 52,699 | | Bank-issued trust preferred securities | — | 1,467 | 2,691 | — | 4,158 | | | | | | | | Total available-for-sale securities | $ | 10,943 | $ | 116,455 | $ | 218,332 | $ | 705,767 | $ | 1,051,497 | | Total weighted-average yield | 2.81 | % | 2.00 | % | 2.87 | % | 2.76 | % | 2.70 | % |

There were no sales of held-to-maturity investment securities during the periods ended June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. The majority of People's held-to maturity investment securities are mortgage-backed securities, for which an allowance for credit losses was not recorded. Peoples calculated the allowance for credit losses for state and political subdivisions using cumulative default rate averages for municipal securities. Peoples reported $0.2 million of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at both June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
