As of June 30, 2025, the Company's investment portfolio included two debt securities in the "unrealized losses less than twelve months" category and 168 debt securities in the "unrealized losses twelve months or more" category. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's investment portfolio included seven debt securities in the "unrealized losses less than twelve months" category and 169 debt securities in the "unrealized losses twelve months or more" category.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 170 debt securities with a fair value of $55.0 million in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 176 debt securities with a fair value of $56.4 million in an unrealized loss position. The Company reviews securities in an unrealized loss position to evaluate credit risk. The Company considers payment history, risk ratings from external parties, financial statements for municipal and corporate securities, public statements from issuers and other available credible published sources in evaluating credit risk. No credit risk was found and no allowance for credit losses on securities available for sale was recorded as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The unrealized losses are attributed to noncredit-related factors including changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The Company 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 contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of the investments. 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.

Accrued interest of $251,000 as of June 30, 2025 and $254,000 as of December 31, 2024 on available-for-sale debt securities is included in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated statements of financial condition and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not sell any debt securities.

The Company's mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities have stated maturities that may differ from actual maturities due to the borrowers' ability to prepay obligations. Cash flows from such investments are dependent upon the performance of the underlying assets and are generally influenced by interest rates. In the table above, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are shown in the aggregate.
