Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating and investing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created in the Company’s loan production activities and when the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities:

Derivative financial instruments created in the Company’s loan production activities are IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a loan for sale.
The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to moderate the effect of changes in market interest rates on the fair value of certain of its assets. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and its MSRs.

The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivatives for hedge accounting. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.

The Company has elected to present net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from or posted to its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement that is legally enforceable on all counterparties in the event of default. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs.
