(1)Securities sold under agreements to repurchase have an original maturity date of one year or less for the periods presented. (2)There were no outstanding federal funds purchased at December 31, 2025, and 2024. The Company’s repurchase agreement counterparties are limited to primary dealers in government securities and commercial and municipal customers through the Corporate Treasury function. The Company has the right of offset with respect to repurchase agreement assets and liabilities with the same counterparty when master netting agreements are in place. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are presented as gross transactions at December 31, 2025, and 2024, since only liabilities are outstanding. Agency MBS securities, which had an aggregate carrying value of $625.3 million and $358.4 million at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, are pledged to secure repurchase agreements. These Agency MBS securities are subject to changes in market value and, therefore, the Company may increase or decrease the level of securities pledged as collateral based upon movements in market value. The following tables represent the offsetting of repurchase agreements that are subject to master netting agreements:
