The fair value and amortized cost of debt securities at March 31, 2026, by contractual maturity, is shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities, are shown separately.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company held 142 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position and two held-to-maturity securities in an unrecognized loss position.

Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities and unrecognized losses on held-to-maturity securities have not been recognized into income because the security issuers are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

The Company's available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments that carry some form of credit risk are private label residential mortgage-backed, corporate and state and political subdivisions securities.

The Company's private label residential mortgage-backed exposure consists of one security held by the Company and is senior in the capital structure, carries substantial credit enhancement and is 20% risk weighted by the Simplified Supervisory Formula Approach (“SSFA”). At March 31, 2026, the Company does not anticipate any credit losses in the private label residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

The Company's corporate debt exposure consists of 39 separate positions in U.S. financial institutions, all of which the Company has determined to be investment grade. Substantially all of the positions are subordinated debt issued by bank holding companies. The Company periodically reviews financial data of the issuers to ensure their continued investment grade status. At March 31, 2026, the Company does not anticipate any credit losses in the corporate debt securities portfolio.

The Company's portfolio of state and political subdivisions securities is comprised of 71 positions of which 58% of the positions are rated “A” or better by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization (“NRSRO”), and 48% of the overall portfolio is made up of general obligation bonds. The Company periodically reviews financial data of the entities and regularly monitors credit ratings changes of the entities. At March 31, 2026, the Company does not anticipate any credit losses in the state and political subdivisions securities portfolio.

The proceeds from sales and the associated gains and losses on available-for-sale securities reclassified from other comprehensive income to income are listed below.
