NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is party to International Swap and Derivative Association (ISDA) interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. The Company may execute “back-to-back” swap agreements with select commercial banking customers who are eligible and desire to manage their interest rate exposure. Policy also allows the Company to execute macro level swap agreements.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges: The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements executed with commercial banking customers to facilitate customer risk management strategies. In addition to the swap agreement with the borrower, the Company enters into a second “back-to-back” swap agreement with a third party; the general terms of this swap mirror those of the first swap agreement. In entering into this transaction, the Company has offset its interest rate risk exposure to the swap agreement with the borrower. All interest rate swaps are valued at observable market prices for similar instruments or observable market interest rates.

Cash Flow Hedges: The Company is party to interest rate swaps and an interest rate cap, to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. The Company had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $60.0 million and $135.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In April 2026, the Company entered into an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $25 million and a cap rate of 4.50%. The interest rate swaps and interest rate cap were designated as cash flow hedges and were determined to be effective during all periods presented. The Company expects the hedges to remain effective during the remaining terms of the swaps and the cap. Fair value of the contracts are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of income tax impacts, and with changes reflected in other comprehensive income.

 

The Company presents derivative positions gross on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the derivatives recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
