The Company is required to conduct an impairment evaluation on AFS securities to determine whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery. If these situations apply, the guidance requires the Company to reduce the security’s amortized cost basis down to its fair value through earnings. The Company also evaluates the unrealized losses on AFS securities to determine if a security’s decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis is due to credit factors. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the underlying borrowers, performance of the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the level of credit support in the security structure. Management also evaluates other factors and circumstances that may be indicative of a decline in the fair value of the security due to a credit factor.
This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of the expected cash flows of the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost, an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) standard, and declines due to non-credit factors are recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of taxes. If a credit loss is recognized in earnings, subsequent improvements to the expectation of collectability will be recognized through the ACL. If the fair value of the security increases above its amortized cost, the unrealized gain will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company did not record an ACL on the AFS securities as of March 31, 2026, or December 31, 2025. The Company considers the unrealized losses on the AFS securities to be related to fluctuations in market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not reflective of deterioration in credit. The Company had 478 securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026. The Company has evaluated AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for credit-related impairment at March 31, 2026, and concluded no impairment existed based on a combination of factors, which included: (1) the securities are of high credit quality, (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer(s) to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of each investment, (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis. As such, there was no ACL on AFS securities at March 31, 2026.
Securities of U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies and Federal Agency Mortgage (Residential and Commercial) Backed Securities
At March 31, 2026, the unrealized losses associated with 10 U.S. Treasuries and Government Agency securities, 11 Residential Mortgage Backed – Agency securities, and 15 Commercial Mortgage Backed – Agency securities were generally driven by changes in interest rates and not due to credit losses given the explicit or implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. government. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for these securities do not require an ACL at March 31, 2026.
Securities of U.S. States and Municipalities
At March 31, 2026, the unrealized losses associated with 347 State and Municipal securities were primarily caused by changes in interest rates and not the credit quality of the securities. These securities are investment grade and were generally underwritten in accordance with our own investment standards prior to the decision to purchase, without relying on a bond insurer’s guarantee in making the investment decision. These securities will continue to be monitored as part of our ongoing impairment analysis but are expected to perform, even if the rating agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. As a result, we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for these securities do not require an ACL at March 31, 2026.
Residential & Commercial Mortgage Backed – Non-Agency Securities
At March 31, 2026, the unrealized losses associated with 63 Residential Mortgage Backed – Non-Agency securities and 8 Commercial Mortgage Backed – Non-Agency securities were generally driven by changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and projected collateral losses. We assess for credit impairment by estimating the present value of expected cash flows. The key assumptions for determining expected cash flows include default rates, loss severities, and/or prepayment rates. Based on our assessment of the expected credit losses and the credit enhancement level of the securities, we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of these securities. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for these securities do not require an ACL at March 31, 2026.
Asset-Backed Securities
At March 31, 2026, the unrealized losses associated with 17 Asset-Backed securities were generally driven by changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and projected collateral losses. We assess for credit impairment by estimating the present value of expected cash flows. The key assumptions for determining expected cash flows include default rates, loss severities, and/or prepayment rates. Based on our assessment of the expected credit losses and the credit enhancement level of the securities, we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of these securities. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for these securities do not require an ACL at March 31, 2026.
Other Securities
At March 31, 2026, the unrealized losses associated with 7 securities were primarily driven by interest rates and not the credit quality of the securities. These investments were underwritten in accordance with our own investment standards
prior to the decision to purchase, without relying on a bond insurer’s guarantee in making the investment decision. Based on our assessment of the expected credit losses, we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the unrealized losses for these securities do not require an ACL at March 31, 2026.
Restricted stock, at cost
The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock totaled $30.5 million and $26.8 million at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s investment in Federal Reserve Bank stock totaled $14.8 million and $14.8 million at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. FHLB and Federal Reserve stock are generally viewed as long-term investments and as restricted investment securities, which are carried at cost, because there is no market for the stocks other than member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB and Federal Reserve stock for impairment, their values are based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The Company does not consider these investments to be impaired at March 31, 2026, and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock and Federal Reserve stock are included in a separate line item, restricted stock, at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not part of the Company’s AFS securities portfolio.
The Company’s restricted stock line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets also includes an investment in Community Bankers’ Bank, totaling $111 thousand at March 31, 2026, and $111 thousand at December 31, 2025, which is carried at cost and is not impaired at March 31, 2026. The Company also has other restricted stock investments including WV Bankers Title and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank which are included in restricted stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
