| Allowance for Credit Losses | Note 5: Allowance for Credit Losses As management evaluates the allowance for credit losses, it is categorized based on specific allocations and general allocations for each major loan category for loans not individually evaluated or deemed collateral-dependent or classified, segmented by loan class based on historical loss experience and other risk factors. In assessing general economic conditions, management monitors several factors, including regional and national economic conditions, real estate market conditions and recently enacted regulations with potential economic effects. Credit Quality Indicators – The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a grade to each of its commercial and real estate loans. Loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. A description of the general characteristics of the 10 risk ratings is as follows: • Risk Grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 – These grades include loans to borrowers of solid credit quality with no higher than normal risk of loss. Borrowers in these categories have satisfactory financial strength and adequate cash flow coverage to service debt requirements. Collateral type and quality, as well as protection, are adequate. The borrower’s management is strong and capable, financial information is timely and accurate, and guarantor support is strong. • Risk Grade 6 – Pass and Watch – Loans in this category are currently protected, but risks are emerging that warrant more than normal attention and have above average risk of loss. These factors require a higher level of monitoring and may include emerging balance sheet weaknesses, strained liquidity, increased leverage ratio, and weakening management. Collateral support is less marketable or limited use and, although the protection is sufficient, the loan-to-value ratio may not meet policy guidelines. Guarantors may have a limited ability and willingness to provide intermediate support. Also, considerations surrounding industry deterioration, increased competition and minor policy exceptions concerning structure or amortization may affect the rating of these loans. • Risk Grade 7 – Special Mention – The Company’s special mention rating is intended to closely align with the regulatory definition. A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. These weaknesses may include deteriorating balance sheets, strained liquidity and elevated leverage ratios. Cash flow and profitability are marginally sufficient to service debt and collateral is exhibiting signs of decline in value; however, protection is currently sufficient. Limited management experience or weaknesses have emerged requiring more than normal supervision and uncertainties regarding the quality of the financials are not explained. Guarantor has very limited ability and willingness to provide short-term support. Moderate policy exceptions concerning structure or amortization may be considered in order to provide relief to the borrower. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. • Risk Grade 8 – Substandard – A loan in this category is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. Factors affecting these loans may include balance sheet deterioration that has resulted in illiquid, highly leveraged or deficit net worth, cash flow that is not able to service debts as structured, collateral protection that may be inadequate, guarantor support that may be virtually non-existent, and management that is poor. Loans may require a major policy exception concerning structure or amortization. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will incur some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. • Risk Grade 9 – Doubtful – Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. • Risk Grade 10 – Loss – Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as an active asset is not warranted. It does not mean that there will be no recovery, but, rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets even though a partial recovery may be possible in the future. Pass loans for the Company include loans in Risk Grades 1 - 6. Special mention loans for the Company include loans in Risk Grade 7. Classified loans for the Company include loans in Risk Grades 8, 9 and 10. Loans may be classified but not considered individually evaluated if the loan falls below the established minimum dollar threshold for individual evaluation. The following table reflects loans by credit quality indicator and origination year at March 31, 2026. Loans acquired are shown in the table by origination year. The Company had an immaterial amount of revolving loans converted to term loans at March 31, 2026.
The following table reflects loans by credit quality indicator and origination year at December 31, 2025. Loans acquired are shown in the table by origination year. The Company had an immaterial amount of revolving loans converted to term loans at December 31, 2025.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans Held for Investment (“LHFI”) The allowance for credit losses represents the estimated amount considered necessary to cover lifetime expected credit losses inherent in financial assets at the balance sheet date. The lifetime estimate also considers economic conditions. Although management strives to maintain an allowance it deems adequate, future economic changes, deterioration of borrowers' creditworthiness, and the impact of examinations by regulatory agencies all could cause changes to BancPlus' allowance for credit losses. Transactions in the allowance for credit losses and balances in the loan portfolio by loan segment are as follows:
Accrued interest receivable on loans, reported as a component of on the balance sheet, totaled approximately $28.1 million and $26.5 million at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments for the periods presented.
