Derivative Financial Instruments
Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments, as well as to manage changes in fair values of some assets which are marked at fair value through the consolidated statement of income on a recurring basis.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company was a party to interest rate swap agreements under which the Company received interest at a variable rate and paid interest at a fixed rate. The derivative instruments represented by these swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of the Company’s forecasted variable cash flows under variable-rate term borrowing agreements. During the terms of the swap agreements, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the periods that the hedged forecasted variable-rate interest payments affected earnings. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company terminated these swap agreements locking in an after-tax gain of $537,000 in other comprehensive income. The gain will be accreted from other comprehensive income into earnings over the remaining term of the swap agreements (March 2027 and April 2027). Additionally, during the duration of these swap agreements, there was no ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives recognized directly in earnings.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Customer interest rate derivative program
The Company offers certain derivatives products, primarily interest rate swaps, directly to qualified commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. In most instances, the Company acts only as an intermediary, simultaneously entering into offsetting agreements with unrelated financial institutions, thereby mitigating its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions without significantly impacting its results of operations. Because the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and any offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings as a component of noninterest income.
From time to time, the Company shares in credit risk on interest rate swap arrangements, by entering into risk participation agreements with syndication partners. These are accounted for at fair value and disclosed as risk participation derivatives.
Mortgage banking derivatives
As part of its mortgage banking and related risk management activities, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitment agreements (“IRLCs”) on prospective residential mortgage loans. These IRLCs are derivative financial instruments and the fair value of these IRLCs are included in other assets.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

Some interest rate swaps included in other assets were subject to a master netting arrangement with the counterparty in all periods presented and could be offset against some amounts included in interest rate swaps included in other liabilities. The Company has chosen not to net these exposures in the consolidated balance sheets, and any impact of netting these amounts would not be significant.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had zero and $670,000 cash collateral on deposit with swap counterparties, respectively. These amounts are included in interest-earning deposits in banks in the consolidated balance sheets and are considered restricted cash until such time as the underlying swaps are settled.
