The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s notes receivable allowance for credit losses:
(in thousands)June 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Beginning balance$7,331 $8,616 
Provision (reversal) for credit losses(127)(609)
Recoveries (676)
Ending balance$7,204 $7,331 
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the recoveries were primarily associated with cash collections pursuant to a settlement agreement with a borrower.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, three and one note receivable loans, respectively, with senior credit quality indicators met the definition of collateral-dependent and are collateralized by the membership interests in the borrowing entities, the associated land parcel, or the operating hotel. The Company used both a market approach that uses quoted market prices and an income approach that uses discounted cash flows to value the underlying collateral. The Company reviewed the borrower's financial statements, economic trends, industry projections for the market, and comparable sales capitalization rates, which represent significant inputs to the cash flow projections. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value measurement hierarchy because they are unobservable inputs which are significant to the overall fair value. Based on the Company's analysis, the fair value of the collateral secures substantially all of the carrying value of the
respective note receivable loan. The allowance for credit losses attributable to the collateral-dependent note receivable loans was $3.2 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
