Fair Value Measurement and Measurement Inputs, Recurring and Nonrecurring FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Option
The Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election is made upon the initial recognition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not otherwise be revoked once an election is made. The changes in fair value are recorded in "Noninterest income" on the consolidated statements of earnings. However, movements in debt valuation adjustments are reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net" on the consolidated balance sheets. Debt valuation adjustments represent the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk.
Fair Value Option for Certain Debt Liabilities
The Company has elected the fair value option for the credit-linked notes issued in September 2022. The Company elected the fair value option because these exposures are considered to be structured notes, which are financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The notes are linked to the credit risk of an approximately $2.1 billion reference pool of previously purchased SFR mortgage loans. The principal balance of the credit-linked notes was $112.5 million at March 31, 2026. The carrying value of the credit-linked notes at March 31, 2026 was the estimated fair value of $111.3 million. Interest expense on the credit-linked notes totaled $4.1 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was recorded in "Interest expense - borrowings" on the consolidated statements of earnings.
The following table presents the changes in fair value of the credit-linked notes for which the fair value option has been elected for the periods indicated:

Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily AFS securities, derivatives, and certain debt liabilities. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and leases and OREO and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, CDI, and other long-lived assets.
For information regarding the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820), and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825, as amended by ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03), see "Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and "Note 15. Fair Value Measurements" to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Form 10-K.
The Company also holds SBIC investments measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient that are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2026, the fair value of these investments was $122.6 million.

In addition to individually evaluated loans and leases and OREO, loans HFS are carried at the LOCOM and may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when fair value is less than cost. Fair value is based on active bids and other observable market inputs, such as appraised value of the underlying collaterals, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other available market data for similar loans. Loans HFS are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect income taxes or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on what management believes to be reasonable judgments regarding expected future cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimated fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Since the fair values have been estimated as of March 31, 2026, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.
