Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. At September 30, 2026, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At September 30, 2026, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit-related losses. The table below presents the amortized cost, fair value and total weighted-average yield of available-for-sale investment securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2026. The weighted-average yields are based on the amortized cost and are computed on a fully taxable-equivalent basis using a federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21% at September 30, 2026. In some cases, the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties prior to the contractual maturity date. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | Within 1 Year | 1 to 5 Years | 5 to 10 Years | Over 10 Years | Total | | Amortized cost | | | | | | | Obligations of: | | | | | | | U.S. Treasury and government agencies | $ | — | $ | 7,935 | $ | 9,777 | $ | — | $ | 17,712 | | U.S. government sponsored agencies | — | 9,852 | 139,080 | 54,603 | 203,535 | | States and political subdivisions | 5,067 | 6,364 | 56,361 | 52,688 | 120,480 | | Residential mortgage-backed securities | — | 902 | 60,611 | 471,135 | 532,648 | | Commercial mortgage-backed securities | — | 15,891 | 20,142 | 21,332 | 57,365 | | Bank-issued trust preferred securities | — | — | 3,000 | — | 3,000 | | | | | | | | Total available-for-sale securities | $ | 5,067 | $ | 40,944 | $ | 288,971 | $ | 599,758 | $ | 934,740 | | Fair value | | | | | | | Obligations of: | | | | | | | U.S. Treasury and government agencies | $ | — | $ | 7,713 | $ | 9,272 | $ | — | $ | 16,985 | | U.S. government sponsored agencies | — | 8,531 | 126,701 | 49,790 | 185,022 | | States and political subdivisions | 5,002 | 6,134 | 45,823 | 41,066 | 98,025 | | Residential mortgage-backed securities | — | 871 | 54,827 | 397,963 | 453,661 | | Commercial mortgage-backed securities | — | 13,660 | 17,572 | 17,340 | 48,572 | | Bank-issued trust preferred securities | — | — | 2,854 | — | 2,854 | | | | | | | | Total available-for-sale securities | $ | 5,002 | $ | 36,909 | $ | 257,049 | $ | 506,159 | $ | 805,119 | | Total weighted-average yield | 3.33 | % | 2.44 | % | 3.55 | % | 2.95 | % | 3.12 | % |

There were no sales of held-to-maturity investment securities during the periods ended September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. The majority of Peoples' held-to maturity investment securities are agency-backed securities, for which an allowance for credit losses was not recorded. Peoples calculated the allowance for credit losses for state and political subdivisions using cumulative default rate averages for municipal securities. Peoples reported $0.2 million of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities at both September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
