Accrued interest on investment securities available for sale and held to maturity at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 of $18.6 million and $21.9 million, respectively, is included in the "Interest receivable" line on the Corporation's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The total amount of accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost of available for sale and held to maturity securities presented above.

In determining the allowance for credit losses on investment securities available for sale that are in an unrealized loss position, the Corporation evaluates available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether credit loss allowance is required. In making this assessment, the Corporation considers the severity of the decline in fair value, changes in credit ratings, and other security-specific factors. Unrealized losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2026, management concluded that unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and, therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.

Adjustments to the allowance are reported in the income statement as a component of the provision for credit losses. The Corporation has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale from the estimate of credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses on investment securities held to maturity is a contra asset-valuation account. The Corporation estimates expected credit losses on investment securities held to maturity by major security type using historical loss information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Corporation elected to exclude accrued interest receivable on investment securities held to maturity from the estimate of credit losses.

No allowance for credit losses has been recorded for U.S. Government-sponsored agency and mortgage-backed securities due to the expectation of full collection of contractual cash flows.

With regard to securities issued by states and municipalities and other investment securities held to maturity, management considers credit ratings, issuer financial condition, and payment performance when evaluating expected credit losses. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2026, there were no past due principal and interest payments associated with these securities.

The balance of the allowance for credit losses on investment securities held to maturity remained unchanged at $245,000 as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 based on applying the long-term historical credit rate, as published by Moody's, for similarly rated securities.

On a quarterly basis, the Corporation monitors the credit quality of investment securities held to maturity through the use of issuer financial information and credit ratings. The following tables summarize the amortized cost of investment securities held to maturity at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, aggregated by credit quality indicator.

The unrealized losses in the Corporation’s investment portfolio were the result of changes in interest rates and not credit quality. As a result, the Corporation expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. The Corporation does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

Certain investment securities available for sale are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost as indicated in the table below.
