Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

 

Fair Value Hedges: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $63.8 million and $75.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were designated as fair value hedges under the portfolio layer method of certain government agency mortgage backed securities. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented. The Company expects the hedges to remain effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.

 

The following table presents the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
