There was a $2.0 million release for credit losses on securities for the the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the $0.6 million provision in the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with respect to the debt securities held by the Company issued by Patriot National Bancorp, Inc., the Company elected to convert a portion of the principal and past due interest into shares of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. common stock, bringing the Company’s total holdings to 4.4 million shares. The Company sold all 4.4 million shares, resulting in $6.5 million in net proceeds and a realized gain of $3.5 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company continues to hold $2.0 million in par of the modified senior debt position in the AFS portfolio with a carrying value of $1.0 million. The contractual maturities of AFS and HTM debt securities at June 30, 2025 are set forth in the following table. Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in residential mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without any penalties. Therefore, residential mortgage-backed securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following summary. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Amortized | | | Fair | (In thousands) | | Cost | | | Value | Available for sale: | | | | | | Due in one year | $ | — | | $ | — | Due after one year through five years | | 30,784 | | | 29,212 | Due after five years through ten years | | 41,837 | | | 40,992 | Due after ten years | | 10,188 | | | 10,180 | Residential mortgage-backed securities | | 13,257 | | | 12,107 | Total | $ | 96,066 | | $ | 92,491 | Held to maturity: | | | | | | Due in one year | $ | — | | $ | — | Due after one year through five years | | 3,000 | | | 2,978 | Due after five years through ten years | | — | | | — | Due after ten years | | 26,266 | | | 21,969 | Residential mortgage-backed securities | | 7,168 | | | 4,704 | Total | $ | 36,434 | | $ | 29,651 |
Actual maturities of AFS and HTM debt securities may differ from those presented above since certain obligations provide the issuer the right to call or prepay the obligation prior to scheduled maturity without penalty. The fair value of debt securities with unrealized losses by length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2025 | | | | Less than 12 months | | 12 months and greater | | Total | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Estimated | | Unrealized | | Estimated | | Unrealized | | Estimated | | Unrealized | (In thousands) | | | fair value | | loss | | fair value | | loss | | fair value | | loss | Available for sale: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | U.S. Government sponsored entities | | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | 14,892 | | $ | (108) | | $ | 14,892 | | $ | (108) | State and political subdivisions | | | | — | | | — | | | 160 | | | (28) | | | 160 | | | (28) | Residential mortgage-backed securities | | | | — | | | — | | | 11,976 | | | (1,178) | | | 11,976 | | | (1,178) | Asset backed securities | | | | 3,995 | | | (5) | | | — | | | — | | | 3,995 | | | (5) | Corporate and other securities | | | | 2,499 | | | (1) | | | 9,843 | | | (1,652) | | | 11,342 | | | (1,653) | Total | | | $ | 6,494 | | $ | (6) | | $ | 36,871 | | $ | (2,966) | | $ | 42,365 | | $ | (2,972) | Held to maturity: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | U.S. Government sponsored entities | | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | 23,652 | | $ | (4,348) | | $ | 23,652 | | $ | (4,348) | Residential mortgage-backed securities | | | | — | | $ | — | | | 4,704 | | | (2,464) | | | 4,704 | | | (2,464) | Total | | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | 28,356 | | $ | (6,812) | | $ | 28,356 | | $ | (6,812) |

Unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above were primarily driven by market interest rate fluctuations. Residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by either Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. The Company is using the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from credit loss measurement. At June 30, 2025, there was $1.0 million of accrued interest on securities. At December 31, 2024, there was $1.2 million of accrued interest on securities. Realized Gains and Losses on Debt Securities Net realized gains (losses) on debt securities are included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income as net security gains (losses). There was no loss on available for sale debt securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $11 thousand in losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to no realized gains or losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no realized gains or losses for held to maturity debt securities during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Equity Securities Included in this category are Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") investments and the Company’s current other equity holdings of financial institutions. Equity securities are defined to include (a) preferred, common and other ownership interests in entities including partnerships, joint ventures and limited liability companies and (b) rights to acquire or dispose of ownership interests in entities at fixed or determinable prices. The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the three months ended June 30, | | For the six months ended June 30, | (In thousands) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 | Net unrealized gains (losses) occurring during the period on equity securities | | $ | 91 | | $ | (21) | | $ | 53 | | $ | 12 | Net gains recognized during the period on equity securities sold during the period | | | 3,509 | | | 41 | | | 3,509 | | | 62 | Gains recognized during the reporting period on equity securities | | $ | 3,600 | | $ | 20 | | $ | 3,562 | | $ | 74 |
