At March 31, 2026, Park’s debt securities portfolio consisted of $1,239.7 million of securities, $884.6 million of which were in an unrealized loss position with aggregate unrealized losses of $42.0 million. Of the $884.6 million of securities in an unrealized loss position, $412.2 million were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Of the $42.0 million in unrealized losses, $31.1 million were related to Park's "Obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities" and "U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities" portfolios. For non-agency debt securities, Park verified that the current credit ratings remain above investment grade. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the credit profile of each non-agency debt security and assesses whether any impairment to the contractually obligated cash flow is likely to occur. Based on these reviews, management has concluded that the underlying creditworthiness for each security remains sufficient to maintain required payment obligations and that changes in value are largely the result of changes in the yield curve, therefore, unrealized losses have not been recognized into net income. Management does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell, the securities prior to their anticipated recovery in respect of the unrealized losses. Management believes the value will recover as the securities approach maturity or market interest rates change.

There was no allowance for credit losses recorded for debt securities AFS at either March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Additionally, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no credit-related investment impairment losses recognized.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments in debt securities AFS at March 31, 2026, are shown in the following table by contractual maturity, except for asset-backed securities and collateral loan obligations, which are shown as a single total due to the unpredictability of the timing of principal repayments. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

AFS debt securities are those debt securities that would be available to be sold in the future in response to the Corporation’s liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates, and asset-liability management strategies, among other reasons.
