ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE C: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which include descriptions of significant accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of September 30, 2025, $40.9 million of accounts receivable, including $8.4 million of unbilled fee revenue, and $1.9 million of unearned revenue was recorded in the consolidated statements of condition. As of December 31, 2024, $38.5 million of accounts receivable, including $8.4 million of unbilled fee revenue, and $1.1 million of unearned revenue was recorded in the consolidated statements of condition.

Equity Method Investments

The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments in entities over which it has significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest. Key indicators of significant influence include ownership interest, representation on the board of directors and participation in policy-making decisions. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost on the consolidated statements of condition. The excess of the purchase price over the Company’s share of the investee’s net assets (the “basis difference”) is allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, with any remaining excess classified as equity method goodwill. The carrying amount of equity method investments is adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, dividends received and the amortization of basis differences other than equity method goodwill. The Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses and the amortization of basis differences are classified as income from equity method investments on the consolidated statements of income. Equity method investments are assessed for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable, including sustained investee losses or other adverse developments affecting the investee’s operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The update requires enhancements to the rate reconciliation, including disclosure of specific categories and additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, and individual jurisdictions meeting a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update are effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard beginning with the December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements and expects it to impact certain income tax disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to enhance the disclosure of expenses by requiring further disaggregation of relevant expense captions as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is applicable to all public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements but does not expect it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
