The Company does not intend to sell these investments and has determined based upon available evidence that it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell each security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis. As a result, the Company did not recognize an ACL on these investments as of either March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
The causes of the impairments listed in the tables above by category are as follows as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
Government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities – The securities with unrealized losses in these portfolios have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Additionally, these securities are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies.
State and municipal bonds and obligations – The securities with unrealized losses in this portfolio have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the current par value of the investment. The decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality.
