As of December 31, 2025, there were 539 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of twelve months or more, and 27 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than twelve months.
U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency, and agency mortgage-backed securities are considered to have no risk of credit loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in these portfolios are considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as prepayment and liquidity risks.
Municipal securities include general obligation bonds which have a very low historical default rate due to issuers generally having taxing authority to service the debt and represent approximately 75% of the total fair value of our municipal securities portfolio as of December 31, 2025. The remainder of the municipal securities are also of high credit quality with ratings of Aa2/AA or better. The Company evaluates credit risk through monitoring credit ratings and reviews of available financial data. The changes in fair value in municipal securities were considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as call and liquidity risks. The estimated allowance for credit losses for the municipal debt securities held-to-maturity was deemed insignificant.
Corporate securities include investment grade corporate and bank subordinated debt securities. The Company evaluates credit risk through monitoring credit ratings, reviews of available issuer financial data, and sector trends. The changes in fair value in corporate securities were considered to be primarily driven by changes in market interest rates and other non-credit risks, such as call and liquidity risks.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not intend to sell the debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and it was more likely than not that the Company would recover the amortized cost prior to being required to sell the debt securities.
Accrued interest on debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $5.5 million and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Sales of debt securities were as follows during the year ended December 31:

Equity Securities
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities on the consolidated statements of income. The Company has elected to measure equity securities with no readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer.
The initial cost and carrying values of equity securities, with cumulative net unrealized gains and losses were as follows:

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the cumulative net unrealized losses on equity securities with no readily determinable fair value reflect impairments of $0.2 million and downward adjustments based on observable price changes of an identical investment of $0.2 million. There have been no upward adjustments based on observable price changes to equity securities with no readily determinable fair value.
Unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities were as follows during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
