There were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its sponsored entities, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2025, the Company held 392 securities (141 available-for-sale and 251 held-to-maturity), of which 340 had fair values below amortized cost. The unrealized losses were due to higher interest rates at period end compared to when the securities were purchased. The issuers are of high credit quality and all principal amounts are expected to be paid when securities mature. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline. The Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery in value. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of December 31, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. The expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Available-for-sale | | Amortized Cost | | Estimated Fair Value | | | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | | | | | | Due after three months through one year | $ | 14,980 | | | $ | 15,063 | | | Due after one through five years | 39,707 | | | 40,246 | | | Agency mortgage-backed securities and | | | | | collateralized mortgage obligations | 537,738 | | | 537,649 | | | Total | $ | 592,425 | | | $ | 592,958 | |

_________________________________________________________ (1)Gross of the allowance for credit losses of ($11,000) at December 31, 2025 and ($12,000) at December 31, 2024. _________________________________________________________ Securities with amortized cost of $529,139,000 and $753,369,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law or contract. The allowance for credit losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity debt securities is presented as a reduction to the amortized cost basis of held-to-maturity securities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The table below presents a roll-forward by major security type for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the allowance for credit losses on debt securities held-to-maturity held at period end: | | | | | | | Municipals | | (Dollars in thousands) | | Beginning balance January 1, 2025 | $ | 12 | | | Provision for (recapture of) credit losses | (1) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ending balance December 31, 2025 | $ | 11 | |
The change in the allowance for credit losses on the Company’s held-to-maturity debt securities was immaterial due to stable balances and bond ratings for the Company’s municipal investment securities at December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
