The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities, by expected maturity, are shown below at June 30, 2026. Expected maturities on debt securities will differ from contractual maturities, because some borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations have stated maturities that may differ from actual maturities due to borrowers’ ability to prepay obligations. Cash flows from such investments are dependent upon the performance of the underlying mortgage loans and are generally influenced by the level of interest rates. In the table above, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are shown in one period.

 

The following table presents the gross proceeds received, and gross realized gains and losses, on sales and calls of available-for-sale debt securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Gains and losses realized on sales and calls of available-for-sale debt securities are included in non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

At June 30, 2026, the Corporation had a total of 58 debt securities that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for less than twelve months with depreciation of 1.7% from the Corporation’s amortized cost basis.

 

At June 30, 2026, the Corporation had a total of 79 debt securities that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months with depreciation of 8.3% from the Corporation’s amortized cost basis.

 

At June 30, 2026, unrealized losses on debt securities have not been recognized into income because the issuer’s bonds are of high credit quality (rated BBB or higher), management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

 

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) was required for debt securities. The Bank does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will be more likely than not to be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

 

As of June 30, 2026, all debt securities were rated above investment grade. Based on the payment status, rating and management’s evaluation of these securities, no ACL was required for the debt securities as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the underlying issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities.

 

Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are stated at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in income.

The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on marketable equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
