Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, effective on its issuance date of October 25, 2018. The purpose of ASU 2018-16 is to permit the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The amendments in ASU 2018-16 are required to be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract on January 1, 2019. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendment. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Conditions, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, effective January 1, 2018. ASU No. 2018-02 addresses a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ASU No. 2018-02 permits an election to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings the standard tax effects resulting from the difference between the historical federal corporate income tax rate of 35% and the newly enacted 21% federal corporate income tax rate. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a reclassification adjustment of $2.5 million decreasing AOCL and increasing retained earnings. The Company’s only components of AOCL are the fair value adjustment for securities available for sale and the tax effected related pension and post-retirement obligations.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, effective January 1, 2018. ASU No. 2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements as well as the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing and hedge documentation. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no identified accounting hedges in place, and as such, adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) as of January 1, 2018. The ASU’s amendments are applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the effective date. ASU No. 2017-09 clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award should be accounted for as a modification. Modification accounting is applied only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, and the classification of the award (as an equity or liability instrument) change as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-09 did not have an effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU No. 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, rather than the contractual maturity date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. Shortening the amortization period is generally expected to more closely align the interest income recognition with the expectations incorporated in the market pricing of the underlying securities. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 on January 1, 2019 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost, on January 1, 2018. ASU No. 2017-07 requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the income statement line items where they report compensation cost, and all other components of net benefit cost in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating income, if this subtotal is presented. Additionally, the service cost component is the only component that can be capitalized. The standard required retrospective application for the amendments related to the presentation of the service cost component and other components of net benefit cost, and prospective application for the amendments related to the capitalization requirements for the service cost components of net benefit cost. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-07 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, on January 1, 2018, with retrospective application. ASU No. 2016-18 requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash and cash equivalent amounts shown on the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, entities are required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Entities are also required to disclose information regarding the nature of the restrictions. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments on January 1, 2018 with retrospective application. ASU No. 2016-15 addresses the following cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including BOLI policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and its subsequent amendments to the ASU: ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient Transition to Topic 842; ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements; ASU 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors; and ASU 2019-01, Leases: Codification Improvements on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and utilizing the effective date as its date of initial application, for which prior periods are presented in accordance with the previous guidance in ASC 840, Leases. Topic 842 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions and the key provision impacting the Company is the requirement for a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a liability, which represents the obligation to make lease payments for long-term operating leases. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 includes quantitative and qualitative disclosures required by lessees and lessors to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Topic 842 includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company adopted the practical expedients of: not reevaluating whether or not a contract contains a lease; retaining current lease classification; not reassessing initial direct costs for existing leases; and not reassessing existing land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under current lease accounting rules. Accordingly, previously reported financial statements, including footnote disclosures, have not been recast to reflect the application of ASU 2016-02 to all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-02, as reflected in Note 11, did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018. ASU No. 2016-01 provides targeted improvements to GAAP including, amongst other improvements, the requirement for equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the available-for-sale category. FHLB stock, however, is not in the scope of ASU No. 2016-01 and will continue to be presented at historical cost. Upon adoption, an immaterial amount of unrealized losses related to the in-scope equity securities was reclassified from other comprehensive loss to retained earnings in 2018 and equity investments were reclassified from securities available for sale to other assets with their related market value changes reflected in earnings.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and its amendments which established ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. In summary, the core principle of ASC Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue streams that are covered by ASC Topic 606 are primarily fees earned in connection with performing services for our customers such as investment advisor fees, wire transfer fees, and bounced check fees. Such fees are either satisfied over time if the service is performed over a period of time (as with investment advisor fees or safe deposit box rental fees), or satisfied at a point in time (as with wire transfer fees and bounced check fees). The Company recognizes fees for services performed over the time period to which the fees relate. The Company recognizes fees earned at a point in time on the day the fee is earned. The modified retrospective approach includes presenting the cumulative effect of initial application, if any, along with supplementary disclosures, if any. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of the standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity will recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill recorded. ASU No. 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2017-04 prospectively beginning January 1, 2020 and the impact of its adoption on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows will be dependent upon goodwill impairment determinations made after that date.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, ASU No. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects the measurement of expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available-for-sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP; however, ASU No. 2016-13 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.

The Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date. However, a prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected will continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption will be recorded in earnings when received. Financial assets for which the guidance in Subtopic 310-30, Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“PCD assets”), has previously been applied, will prospectively apply the guidance in ASU No. 2016-13 for PCD assets. A prospective transition approach will be used for PCD assets where upon adoption, the amortized cost basis will be adjusted to reflect the addition of the allowance for credit losses. This transition relief will avoid the need for a reporting entity to reassess its purchased financial assets that exist as of the date of adoption to determine whether it would have met at acquisition the new criteria of more-than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. The transition relief also will allow an entity to accrete the remaining noncredit discount (based on the revised amortized cost basis) into interest income at the effective interest rate at the adoption date of ASU No. 2016-13. The same transition requirements are be applied to beneficial interests that previously applied Subtopic 310-30 or have a significant difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows.

The Company is evaluating ASU No. 2016-13 and has a working group with multiple members from applicable departments to evaluate the requirements of the new standard, plan for loss modeling requirements consistent with lifetime expected loss estimates, and assess the impact it will have on current processes. This evaluation includes a review of existing credit models to identify areas where existing credit models used to comply with other regulatory requirements may be leveraged and areas where new models may be required. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 could have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition and results of operations. The extent of the impact upon adoption will likely depend on the characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio and economic conditions at that date, as well as forecasted conditions thereafter.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The purpose of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted and an entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The amendments removed the disclosure requirements for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the disclosure of the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, and the disclosure of the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments modified the disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value and measurement uncertainty. Finally, the amendments added disclosure requirements for the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
