Available for sale and held to maturity securities with a carrying value of $419.3 million and $76.6 million as of June 30, 2026, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds and for other purposes required or permitted by law. None of the pledged securities are encumbered. Available for sale and held to maturity securities are evaluated to determine if a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. An impairment related to credit factors would be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is limited to the amount by which the security’s amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value. An impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Investment securities will be written down to fair value through the Consolidated Statements of Income when management intends to sell, or may be required to sell, the securities before they recover in value. The issuers of securities currently in a continuous loss position continue to make timely principal and interest payments and none of these securities were past due or were placed on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2026. Primarily all of the investment securities are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S government-sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given the lack of historical credit losses and governmental backing. Management believes that the unrealized losses on these securities are a function of changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, not changes in credit quality. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025, respectively. The Company has an investment in a CRA investment fund with a fair value of $13.3 million at June 30, 2026. This investment is classified as an equity security on our Consolidated Statements of Condition. This security had a loss of $55,000 and a loss of $139,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. This amount was included in the fair value adjustment for CRA equity security on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
