During 2024, purchases of available-for-sale securities totaled $185.7 million and sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $132.1 million. The available-for-sale securities sales were executed during the fourth quarter of 2024 as a result of strategic balance sheet management and resulted in a pre-tax loss of $6.6 million. There were no purchases or sales of available-for-sale securities during the year ended December 31, 2023. Maturities and paydowns of available-for-sale securities during 2024 and 2023 totaled $157.5 million and $92.0 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio was primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities. All mortgage-backed securities were backed by GSE collateral such as FHLMC and FNMA and the government owned agency GNMA.

Management regularly monitors the investment securities portfolio in its entirety and further evaluates all of the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at each reporting period. The portfolio included 180 securities, which were in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024, compared to 230 securities at December 31, 2023. The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were caused by changes in interest rates. The Company has no intention to sell these securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.

Based upon the downgrade of U.S. government securities by certain rating agencies, the Company updated the rating in the tables above from AAA to AA+. Certain securities are pledged as collateral for public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and to secure borrowing capacity at the FRB, if needed. The fair value of available-for-sale investment securities pledged as collateral totaled $238.6 million and $312.4 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company may also pledge available-for-sale investment securities as collateral for FHLB advances. No securities were pledged for this purpose at December 31, 2024 or 2023.

A summary of the available-for-sale securities by maturity is shown in the following table as of December 31, 2024. Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments and are therefore not included in the table below. Additionally, the Company holds other available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2024 that have no stated contractual maturity date.

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or group of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell any held-to-maturity securities and believes it will not be required to sell any held-to-maturity securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

Based upon the downgrade of U.S. government securities by certain rating agencies, the Company updated the rating in the tables above from AAA to AA+. Certain securities are pledged as collateral for public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and to secure borrowing capacity at the FRB, if needed. The carrying value of held-to-maturity investment securities pledged as collateral totaled $500.5 million and $559.3 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company may also pledge held-to-maturity investment securities as collateral for FHLB advances. No held-to-maturity investment securities were pledged for this purpose at December 31, 2024 or 2023.

A summary of the held-to-maturity securities by maturity is shown in the following table as of December 31, 2024. Actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from scheduled maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments and are therefore not included in the table below.
