​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Note 7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities (continued) ​ The Company uses interest rate swap and cap instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company entered into interest rate caps to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on liabilities. The liabilities consist of $300.0 million of deposits and the benchmark rates hedged vary at 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR and the Prime Rate. The interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815. An initial premium of $3.5 million was paid upfront for the caps summarized below. The details of the interest rate caps are as follows: ​

​ ​ In December 2020, the Company redesignated three of its interest rate caps, which had been purchased in 2019 for $800 thousand. The caps, which were designated as cash flow hedges at the time of purchase, are now designated as unhedged. A loss of $649 thousand was recognized due to the change in designation as the underlying hedged item no longer exists. For derivative instruments that are designated as unhedged, the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is recognized into current earnings. There was no change in value recognized into current earnings for 2020 as the change in designation was effective December 31, 2020. The details of the unhedged interest rate caps are as follows: ​

​ ​ ​ Note 7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities (continued) ​ In the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into $40 million of interest rate swaps which were then terminated in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in a loss of $808 thousand. Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges to the extent they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded as a component of AOCI. The following is a summary of how AOCI was impacted during the reporting periods: ​

​ The Company has also entered into interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third party financial institution. Additionally, the Company receives an upfront fee from the counterparty, dependent upon the pricing that is recognized upon receipt from the counterparty. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts, for the most part, offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations. Interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments are summarized as follows: ​

​ The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit rating and financial information. Additionally, the Company manages financial institution counterparty credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, the use of ISDA master agreements, central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral arrangements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps. The Company manages the risk of default by its borrower counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company underwrites the combination of the ​ ​ Note 7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities (continued) ​ base loan amount and potential swap exposure and focuses on high quality borrowers with strong collateral values. For the large majority of the Company’s swapped loan portfolio, the loan-to-value including the potential swap exposure is below 65%. The Company does not currently anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.
