As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 95.8% and 95.5%, respectively, of the Company’s securities available-for-sale at amortized cost basis were issued by U.S. government agency and U.S. GSEs. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company determined that these securities with unrealized losses did not warrant an ACL as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Municipal and corporate bonds had an investment grade rating upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and various rating agencies have reaffirmed their long-term investment grade status as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates fluctuated. Additionally, the Company continues to receive contractual principal and interest payments in a timely manner. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company therefore determined that the investment securities with unrealized losses did not warrant an ACL as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded no ACL on securities available-for-sale.
