Summary
OceanFirst Financial Corp. is the holding company for OceanFirst Bank N.A. (the “Bank”), a regional bank serving business and retail customers throughout New Jersey and the major metropolitan areas between Massachusetts and Virginia. The term “Company” refers to OceanFirst Financial Corp., the Bank and all their subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates non-interest income such as income from bankcard services, trust and asset management products and services, deposit account services, bank owned life insurance and commercial loan swap income. The Company’s operating expenses primarily consist of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, marketing, federal deposit insurance and regulatory assessments, data processing, check card processing, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses. The Company’s results of operations are significantly affected by competition, general economic conditions, including levels of unemployment and real estate values, as well as changes in market interest rates, inflation, government policies and actions of regulatory agencies.
Key developments relating to the Company’s financial results and corporate activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:
•Asset Quality: Asset quality metrics remain strong as criticized and classified assets, non-performing loans, and loans 30 to 89 days past due as a percentage of total loans receivable were 1.42%, 0.33%, and 0.10%, respectively. These metrics continue to reflect strong credit performance and remain low compared to pre-pandemic levels.
•Capital Accretion: Common equity tier 1 capital ratio and book value per share were 11.2% and $28.67, respectively, and increased approximately 20 basis points and $0.35 from the prior linked quarter.
•Share repurchases: The Company repurchased 338,087 shares totaling $5.0 million. The Company has 1,638,524 shares available for repurchase under the authorized repurchase program.
The current quarter net interest income and margin were impacted by a mix-shift to and repricing of higher cost funding, and unanticipated prepayments on commercial loans. Deposit beta, which is the change in rates paid to customers relative to the change in federal funds target rate, increased modestly to 42%, from 40% in the prior linked quarter. Additionally, the current quarter provision for credit losses includes the impact of an additional $1.6 million charge-off on the single commercial real estate relationship that was previously moved to non-accrual and partially charged-off in 2023. The collateral related to the noted credit is currently under an agreement to sell, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2024.
Net income available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $23.4 million and $51.0 million, respectively, or $0.40 and $0.87 per diluted share, as compared to $26.8 million and $53.7 million, or $0.45 and $0.91 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year periods. The dividends paid to preferred stockholders were $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
On July 18, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share. The dividend, related to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, will be paid on August 16, 2024 to common stockholders of record on August 5, 2024. The Board also declared a quarterly cash dividend on preferred stock of $0.4375 per depositary share, representing a 1/40th interest in the Series A Preferred Stock. This dividend will be paid on August 15, 2024 to preferred stockholders of record on July 31, 2024.

Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, interest income included net loan fees of $708,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the same prior year periods, respectively.
The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The yields and costs, which are annualized, are derived by dividing the income or expense by the average balance of the related assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown except where noted otherwise. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include certain fees and costs which are considered adjustments to yields.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023
Total assets decreased by $216.5 million to $13.32 billion, from $13.54 billion, primarily due to decreases in loans and debt securities. Total loans decreased by $175.3 million to $10.02 billion, from $10.19 billion, primarily due to a decrease in the total commercial portfolio of $165.3 million driven by loan payoffs and lower loan originations. The loan pipeline increased by $76.1 million to $259.1 million from $183.0 million. For more information on the composition of the loan portfolio, see “Lending Activities.” Held-to-maturity debt securities decreased by $53.9 million to $1.11 billion, from $1.16 billion, primarily due to principal repayments. Debt securities available-for-sale decreased $32.4 million to $721.5 million, from $753.9 million, primarily due to principal reductions and maturities. Other assets increased by $23.3 million to $203.0 million, from $179.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the market values of derivatives associated with customer interest rate swap programs.
Total liabilities decreased by $231.2 million to $11.65 billion, from $11.88 billion primarily related to lower deposits and a funding mix shift. Deposits decreased by $440.9 million to $9.99 billion, from $10.43 billion, primarily due to decreases in high-yield savings accounts of $283.1 million and interest bearing deposits of $243.9 million. Time deposits decreased to $2.37 billion, from $2.45 billion, representing 23.7% and 23.4% of total deposits, respectively, which was primarily related to planned runoff of brokered time deposits, which decreased by $229.9 million, offset by increases in retail time deposits of $161.7 million. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 100.3%, as compared to 97.7%. FHLB advances decreased by $59.3 million to $789.3 million, from $848.6 million due to a mix shift in funding sources to other borrowings, which increased by $228.0 million to $424.5 million, from $196.5 million, as a result of lower cost funding availability.
Other liabilities increased by $31.4 million to $332.1 million, from $300.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the market values of derivatives associated with customer interest rate swaps and related collateral received from counterparties.
Capital levels remain strong and in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory levels at June 30, 2024, including the Company’s estimated common equity tier one capital ratio, which increased to 11.23%, up approximately 35 basis points from December 31, 2023.
Total stockholders’ equity increased to $1.68 billion, as compared to $1.66 billion, primarily reflecting net income, partially offset by capital returns comprising of share repurchases and dividends. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,295,914 shares totaling $20.1 million representing a weighted average cost of $15.35. The Company had 1,638,524 shares available for repurchase under the authorized repurchase program. Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $3.7 million primarily due to increases in fair market value of available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax. The Company’s stockholders’ equity to assets ratio was 12.59%, as compared to 12.28% and book value per share increased to $28.67, as compared to $27.96.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $77.2 million and $152.5 million, respectively, from $58.0 million and $98.2 million in the corresponding prior year periods, primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in total deposits, partly offset by a decrease in total borrowings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.14% and 3.09%, respectively, from 2.39% and 2.08% for the corresponding prior year periods, primarily due to higher cost of deposits. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest-bearing deposits) increased to 2.37% and 2.34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, from 1.52% and 1.21% for the same prior year periods.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $82.3 million and $168.5 million, respectively, from $92.1 million and $190.9 million in the corresponding prior year periods, primarily reflecting the net impact of the higher interest rate environment. The net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to 2.71% and 2.76%, respectively, from 3.02% and 3.17% for the same prior year periods. The net interest margin decreased primarily due to the increase in cost of funds outpacing the increase in yield on average interest-earning assets.
Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $4.2 million for the corresponding prior year periods. The current quarter provision was driven by the additional charge-off previously noted in the “Summary” section above and changes in the external macro-economic forecasts, partly offset by lower loan balances. Net loan charge-offs were $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to $123,000 and $76,000 for the same prior year periods.
Non-interest Income
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Other income increased to $11.0 million, as compared to $8.9 million. Other income was favorably impacted by net gains on equity investments of $887,000 for the current quarter, and adversely impacted by net losses on equity investments of $559,000 for the prior year. The remaining increase of $611,000 was primarily driven by increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $544,000 and net gain on sale of loans of $387,000, partially offset by a decrease in fees and service charges of $587,000 on lower title activity and retail deposit fees.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Other income increased to $23.3 million, as compared to $11.0 million. The current period was favorably impacted by net gains on equity investments of $2.8 million and a net gain on sale of a portion of its trust business of $1.2 million. The prior year was adversely impacted by a net loss on equity investments of $8.1 million, primarily related to losses on sale of investments. The remaining increase of $241,000 was primarily driven by increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $1.1 million, which included one-time death benefits in the current period, and net gain on sale of loans of $724,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in fees and service charges of $1.3 million, which was driven by the same factors as noted above.
Non-interest Expense
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Operating expenses decreased $4.3 million to $58.6 million, from $62.9 million. The primary drivers were decreases in professional fees of $2.9 million and compensation and employee benefits expenses of $1.1 million, which reflect the net realization of the Company’s performance improvements initiatives and strategic investments made over the past year.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Operating expenses decreased to $117.3 million, as compared to $124.2 million. Operating expenses were adversely impacted by an FDIC special assessment of $418,000 in the current year, and merger related and net branch consolidation expenses of $92,000 in the prior year. The remaining decrease of $7.3 million were driven by decreases in professional fees of $5.3 million and compensation and employee benefits expenses of $2.2 million, which reflect the net realization of the Company’s performance improvements initiatives and strategic investments made over the past year.

Income Tax Expense
The provision for income taxes was $7.1 million and $17.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to $9.0 million and $17.7 million for the same prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 22.5% and 25.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 24.4% and 24.0% for the same prior year periods. The current year’s effective tax rates was negatively impacted by 1.6% due to a non-recurring write-off of a deferred tax asset of $1.2 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Management
The Company manages its liquidity and funding needs through its Treasury function and the Asset Liability Committee. The Company has an internal policy that addresses liquidity and management monitors the adherence to policy limits to satisfy current and future cash flow needs. The policy includes internal limits, monitoring of key indicators, deposit concentrations, liquidity sources and availability, stress testing, collateral management, and other qualitative and quantitative metrics.
Management monitors cash on a daily basis to determine the liquidity needs of the Bank and OceanFirst Financial Corp. (the “Parent Company”), a separate legal entity from the Bank. Additionally, management performs multiple liquidity stress test scenarios on a periodic basis. As of June 30, 2024, the Bank and the Parent Company continued to maintain adequate liquidity under all stress scenarios. The Company also has a detailed contingency funding plan and obtains comprehensive reporting of funding trends on a monthly and quarterly basis, which are reviewed by management.
The Company continually evaluates its on-balance sheet liquidity, including cash and unpledged securities and funding capacity at the FHLB and FRB Discount Window, and periodically tests each of its lines of credit. As of June 30, 2024, total on-balance sheet liquidity and funding capacity was $3.9 billion.
The Company has a highly operational and granular deposit base, with long-standing client relationships across multiple customer segments providing stable funding. The vast majority of the government deposits are protected by the FDIC insurance as well as the State of New Jersey under the Government Unit Deposit Protection Act, which requires uninsured government deposits to be further collateralized by the Bank. At June 30, 2024, the Bank reported in its Call Report $5.33 billion of estimated uninsured deposits. This total included $2.24 billion of collateralized government deposits and $1.53 billion of intercompany deposits of fully consolidated subsidiaries, leaving estimated adjusted uninsured deposits of $1.55 billion, or 15.4% of total deposits. On-balance-sheet liquidity and funding capacity represented 251.4% of the estimated adjusted uninsured deposits.
The primary sources of liquidity specifically available to the Parent Company are dividends from the Bank, proceeds from sale of investments, and the issuance of debt, preferred and common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Parent Company received dividend payments of $59.0 million from the Bank. At June 30, 2024, the Parent Company held $87.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investments, FHLB advances, and other borrowings. While scheduled payments on loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, loan prepayments, and loan and investment sales are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including lines of credit at multiple financial institutions, and access to the FRB discount window.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company pledged $7.37 billion of loans with the FHLB and FRB to enhance the Company’s borrowing capacity, which included collateral pledged to the FHLB to obtain a municipal letter of credit to collateralize certain municipal deposits. The Company also pledged $1.26 billion of securities to secure borrowings, enhance borrowing capacity, collateralize its repurchase agreements, and for other purposes required by law. The Company had $789.3 million of FHLB advances, including $104.5 million of overnight borrowings as of June 30, 2024, as compared to $848.6 million of FHLB term advances and no outstanding overnight borrowings from the FHLB at December 31, 2023. The Company had $424.5 million of other borrowings as of June 30, 2024, as compared to $196.5 million at December 31, 2023, reflecting a shift in funding sources from FHLB advances to other borrowings.
The Com pany’s cash needs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily satisfied by the increase in other borrowings. The cash was utilized for the reduction of deposits and FHLB advances.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, the Bank routinely enters into various off-balance sheet commitments, primarily relating to the origination and funding of loans. At June 30, 2024, outstanding commitments to originate loans totaled $259.1 million and outstanding undrawn lines of credit totaled $1.32 billion, of which $1.00 billion were commitments to commercial and commercial construction borrowers and $315.1 million were commitments to consumer and residential construction borrowers. Commitments to fund undrawn lines of credit and commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the existing contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments.
At June 30, 2024, the Company also had various contractual obligations, which included debt obligations of $1.29 billion, including finance lease obligations of $1.6 million, and an additional $18.8 million in operating lease obligations included in other liabilities. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current commitments in the normal course of business. Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $2.29 billion at June 30, 2024.
Liquidity Used in Stock Repurchases and Cash Dividends
Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, shares of OceanFirst Financial Corp. common stock may be purchased in the open market and through other privately-negotiated transactions, from time-to-time, depending on market conditions.

At June 30, 2024, there were 1,638,524 shares available to be repurchased under the authorized stock repurchase program.
Cash dividends on common stock declared and paid during the first six months of June 30, 2024 were $23.6 million. Cash dividends on preferred stock declared and paid during the first six months of June 30, 2024 were $2.0 million.
The Company’s ability to continue to repurchase shares of common stock and pay dividends remain dependent upon capital distributions from the Bank, which may be adversely affected by capital restraints imposed by applicable regulations. If applicable regulations or regulatory bodies prevent the Bank from paying a dividend to the Company, the Company may not have the liquidity necessary to repurchase shares of common stock or pay a dividend in the future or pay a dividend at the same rate as historically paid or be able to meet current debt obligations. Additionally, regulations of the Federal Reserve may prevent the Company from either paying or increasing the cash dividend to common stockholders. These regulatory policies may affect the ability of the Parent Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock, or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Capital Management
The Company manages its capital sources, uses, and expected future needs through its Treasury function and the Asset Liability Committee. The Company has an internal policy that addresses capital and management monitors the adherence to policy limits to satisfy current and future capital needs. The policy includes internal limits, monitoring of key indicators, sources and availability, intercompany transactions, forecasts and stress testing, and other qualitative and quantitative metrics.
Additionally, management performs multiple capital stress test scenarios periodically, varying loan growth, earnings, access to the capital markets, credit losses, and mark-to-market losses in the investment portfolio, including both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. As of June 30, 2024, the Bank and Parent Company continued to maintain adequate capital under all stress scenarios, including a scenario where all losses related to the investment securities portfolio are realized. The Bank and the Parent Company also have detailed contingency capital plans and obtain comprehensive reporting of capital trends on a regular basis, which are reviewed by management and the Board.

Lending Activities
Loan Portfolio Composition. At June 30, 2024, the Company had total loans outstanding of $10.02 billion, of which $6.18 billion, or 61.7% of total loans, were commercial real estate, multi-family, and land loans (collectively, “commercial real estate”). The remainder of the portfolio consisted of: $616.4 million of commercial and industrial loans, or 6.2% of total loans; $2.98 billion of residential real estate loans, or 29.7% of total loans; and $242.5 million of consumer loans, primarily home equity loans and lines of credit, or 2.4% of total loans.
Commercial real estate. Th e Bank originates commercial real estate loans that are secured by properties, or properties under construction, that are generally used for busin ess purposes such as office, industrial, multi-family or retail facilities. Commercial real estate loans are provided on owner-occupied properties and on investor-owned properties. At June 30, 2024, of the total commercial real estate portfolio, $5.32 billion or 86.1% was considered investor-owned and $857.7 million or 13.9% was considered owner-occupied.
The Bank performs extensive due diligence in underwriting commercial real estate loans due to the larger loan amounts and the riskier nature of such loans. The Bank assesses and mitigates the risk in several ways, including inspection of all such properties and the review of the overall financial condition of the borrower and guarantors, which include, for example, the review of the rent rolls and applicable leases/lease terms and conditions and the verification of income. A tenant analysis and market analysis are part of the underwriting.
For investor-owned properties, because repayment is often dependent on the successful management of the properties, repayment of commercial real estate loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. As a result, the Bank is particularly vigilant of this portfolio. The Bank believes this portfolio is highly diversified with loans secured by a variety of property types in multiple geographies and the portfolio exhibits stable credit quality.
The following table presents the Company’s commercial real estate - investor owned loans by industry as of June 30, 2024:

The Company classifies loans and other assets in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The table below excludes any loans held-for-sale and represents Special Mention and Substandard assets (in thousands):

| June 30, |  | December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023
Special Mention | $ | 49,767 |  |  | $ | 40,385 |
Substandard | 92,846 |  |  | 106,552 |

The increase in special mention loans was primarily due to new downgrades of three commercial relationships totaling $24.8 million, partly offset by four commercial loans totaling $10.1 million, which were upgraded and one commercial loan of $5.9 million moving from special mention to substandard during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, the decrease in substandard loans was primarily due to eight commercial relationships totaling $17.0 million that were paid off or were upgraded, which was partially offset by the $5.9 million category change noted above.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies. Various elements of these accounting policies, by their nature, are subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain assets are carried on the consolidated statements of financial condition at estimated fair value or the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Policies with respect to the methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting policy and estimate because of its importance to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and high level of subjectivity. The critical accounting policy involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition. The critical accounting policy and its application is reviewed periodically, and at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other was a critical accounting estimate in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Significant negative industry or economic trends, including declines in the market price of the Company’s stock, reduced estimates of future cash flows or business disruptions could result in impairments to goodwill in the future, which may result in recording an impairment loss. Any resulting impairment loss may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and is considered a non-cash event with no impact to the Company’s regulatory capital ratios, liquidity position, and ongoing operations.
Management continued to carefully assess and evaluate all available information for potential triggering events and concluded no triggering events were identified through the reporting period. The Company customarily performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the third quarter.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2024
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. In addition, this update introduces new disclosure requirements to provide information about the contractual sales restriction including the nature and remaining duration of the restriction. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Management of Interest Rate Risk (“IRR”)
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from the IRR inherent in its lending, investment, deposit-taking, and funding activities. The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may negatively or positively impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis. Changes in interest rates may also negatively or positively impact the market value of the Company’s investment securities, in particular fixed-rate instruments. Net gains or losses in available-for-sale securities can increase or decrease accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and total stockholders’ equity. Management actively monitors and manages IRR. The extent of the movement of interest rates, higher or lower, is an uncertainty that could have a substantial impact on the earnings and stockholders’ equity of the Company.
The principal objectives of the IRR management function are to: evaluate the IRR inherent in the Company’s business; determine the level of risk appropriate given the Company’s business focus, operating and interest rate environment, capital and liquidity requirements, and performance objectives; and manage the risk consistent with Board approved guidelines. The Company’s Board maintains an Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) consisting of members of management, responsible for reviewing asset liability policies and the IRR position. ALCO meets regularly and reports the Company’s IRR position and trends to the Board on a regular basis.
The Company utilizes a number of strategies to manage IRR including, but not limited to: (1) managing the origination, purchase, sale, and retention of various types of loans with differing IRR profiles; (2) attempting to reduce the overall interest rate sensitivity of liabilities by emphasizing stable relationship-based deposits and longer-term deposits; (3) selectively purchasing interest rate swaps and caps converting the rates for customer loans to manage individual loans and the Bank’s overall IRR profile; (4) managing the investment portfolio IRR profile; (5) managing the maturities and rate structures of borrowings and time deposits; and (6) purchasing interest rate swaps to manage overall balance sheet interest rate risk.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive.” Interest rate sensitivity is monitored through the use of an IRR model, which measures the change in the institution’s economic value of equity (“EVE”) and net interest income under various interest rate scenarios. EVE is the difference between the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts. Interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of a model which measures IRR by modeling the change in EVE and net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Modeled assets and liabilities are assumed to reprice at respective repricing or maturity dates. Pricing caps and floors are included in the results, where applicable. The Company uses prepayment expectations set forth by market sources as well as Company generated data where applicable. Generally, cash flows from loans and securities are assumed to be reinvested to maintain a static balance sheet. Other assumptions about balance sheet mix are generally held constant. The Company’s interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2023 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The methodologies and assumptions used in this analysis are periodically evaluated and refined in response to changes in the market environment, changes in the Company’s balance sheet composition, enhancements in the Company’s modeling and other factors. Such changes may affect historical comparisons of these results.

The net interest income sensitivity results indicate that at June 30, 2024 the Company was modestly asset sensitive. The change in sensitivity between June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was impacted by a deposit mix shift within non-maturity deposits with lower betas as well as a change in loan prepayments, partially offset by a decrease in floating rate loans, an increase in overnight and short-term borrowings and reduction in short-term time deposits.
Overall, the measure of EVE at risk decreased in all rate scenarios from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024. This decrease was the result of a deposit mix shift within non-maturity deposits with lower betas and longer average lives, as well as a change in loan prepayments.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the EVE and net interest income IRR measurements. The model requires the making of certain assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. First, the model assumes that the composition of the Company’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured. Second, the model assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Third, the model does not take into account the Company’s business or strategic plans or any steps it may take to respond to changes in rates. Fourth, prepayment, rate sensitivity, and average life assumptions can have a significant impact on the IRR model results. Lastly, the model utilizes data derived from historical performance. Accordingly, although the above measurements provide an indication of the Company’s IRR exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates. Given the unique nature of the post-pandemic interest rate environment and the speed with which interest rates have been changing, the projections noted above on the Company’s EVE and net interest income can be expected to significantly differ from actual results.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for debt securities held-to-maturity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

Total ending allowance balance | $ | (958) |  |  | $ | (964) |  |  | $ | (958) |  |  | $ | (964) |

The Company monitors the credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity on a quarterly basis through the use of internal credit analysis supplemented by external credit ratings. Credit ratings of BBB- or Baa3 or higher are considered investment grade. Where multiple ratings are available, the Company considers the lowest rating when determining the allowance for securities credit losses. Under this approach, the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity at June 30, 2024, aggregated by credit quality indicator, are as follows (in thousands):

| Investment Grade |  | Non-Investment Grade/Non-rated |  | Total
As of June 30, 2024 |  |  |  |  |
State and municipal debt obligations | $ | 210,758 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 210,758 |
Corporate debt securities | 52,690 |  |  | 13,957 |  |  | 66,647 |
Non-agency commercial MBS | 20,531 |  |  | — |  |  | 20,531 |
Total debt securities held-to-maturity | $ | 283,979 |  |  | $ | 13,957 |  |  | $ | 297,936 |

There were $4,000 of realized gains and $106,000 of realized losses on sale of debt securities available-for-sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively as compared to $0 and $697,000 of realized losses for the corresponding prior year periods. These realized gains/losses on debt securities are presented within Other under Total other income of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2024 by contractual maturity are shown below (in thousands):

June 30, 2024 | Amortized Cost |  | Estimated Fair Value
Less than one year | $ | 30,305 |  |  | $ | 30,002 |
Due after one year through five years | 193,525 |  |  | 180,221 |
Due after five years through ten years | 207,294 |  |  | 202,709 |
Due after ten years | 198,842 |  |  | 191,564 |
| $ | 629,966 |  |  | $ | 604,496 |

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities in instances where issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2024, corporate debt securities, state and municipal obligations, and asset-backed securities with an amortized cost of $81.5 million, $60.5 million, and $276.0 million, respectively, and an estimated fair value of $78.4 million, $58.6 million, and $276.1 million, respectively, were callable prior to the maturity date. Mortgage-backed securities are excluded from the above table since their effective lives are expected to be shorter than the contractual maturity date due to principal prepayments.

The Company concluded that debt securities were not impaired at June 30, 2024 based on consideration of several factors. The Company noted that each issuer made all contractually due payments when required. There were no defaults on principal or interest payments, and no interest payments were deferred. Based on management’s analysis of each individual security, the issuers appear to have the ability to meet debt service requirements over the life of the security. Furthermore, the net unrealized losses were primarily due to changes in the general credit and interest rate environment and not credit quality. Additionally, the Company has not utilized securities sales as a source of liquidity and the Company’s liquidity plans include adequate sources of liquidity outside securities sales.

The Company categorizes all loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass: Loans classified as Pass are well protected by the paying capacity and net worth of the borrower.
Special Mention: Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the collection or the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and, therefore, is classified as non-accruing. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had collateral dependent loans with an amortized cost balance as follows: commercial real estate - investor of $14.3 million and $15.2 million, respectively, commercial real estate - owner occupied of $4.1 million and $352,000, respectively, and commercial and industrial of $434,000 and $304,000, respectively. In addition, the Company had collateral dependent residential and consumer loans with an amortized cost balance of $4.5 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. Since adoption, the Company has modified and may modify in the future certain loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications may include a reduction in interest rate, an extension in term, principal forgiveness and/or other than insignificant payment delay. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount, and the allowance for credit losses is subsequently adjusted by an amount equal to the total loss rate as applied to the reduced amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, loans with modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $23.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively. There were no outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to such borrowers with loan modifications as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, a fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlations or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
Debt Securities Available-for-Sale
Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Fair value of U.S. Treasuries are determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). The majority of the other debt securities are determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are based on market observable information (Level 2). Level 2 debt securities are priced through third-party pricing services or security industry sources that actively participate in the buying and selling of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but comparing the debt securities to benchmark or comparable debt securities.
Equity Investments
Equity investments with readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value. Fair value for these investments is primarily determined using a quoted price in an active market or exchange (Level 1) or using inputs other than quoted prices that are based on market observable information (Level 2). Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer (measurement alternative). Certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share as a practical expedient, which are excluded from the fair value hierarchy levels in the table below.

Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company’s interest rate swaps and cap contracts are reported at fair value utilizing discounted cash flow models provided by an independent, third-party and observable market data (Level 2). When entering into an interest rate swap or cap contract, the Company is exposed to fair value changes due to interest rate movements, and also the potential nonperformance of the contract counterparty.
Loans Individually Measured for Impairment
Loans measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral are recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals (Level 3), which may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors, such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy is set forth below.
Cash and Due from Banks
For cash and due from banks, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Debt Securities Held-to-Maturity
Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these debt securities to maturity. The Company determines the fair value of the debt securities utilizing Level 2 inputs. Most of the Company’s debt securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are bought and sold in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third-party pricing vendors or security industry sources that actively participate in the buying and selling of debt securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific debt securities, but comparing the debt securities to benchmark or comparable debt securities.
Management’s policy is to obtain and review all available documentation from the third-party pricing service relating to their fair value determinations, including their methodology and summary of inputs. Management reviews this documentation, makes inquiries of the third-party pricing service and decides as to the level of the valuation inputs. Based on the Company’s review of the available documentation from the third-party pricing service, management concluded that Level 2 inputs were utilized for all securities.
Restricted Equity Investments
The fair value of these investments, which are primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and Federal Reserve Bank stock, is its carrying value since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock and the Company is required to maintain a minimum investment as stipulated by the respective entities.
Loans Receivable and Loans Held-for-Sale
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential real estate, consumer and commercial. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.
Fair value of performing and non-performing loans, which is based on an exit price notion, was estimated by discounting the future cash flows, net of estimated prepayments, at market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of unpaid principal balance, net, or estimated fair value on an aggregate basis. Estimated fair value is generally determined based on bid quotations from secondary markets.
Deposits Other than Time Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings, and interest-bearing checking accounts and money market accounts is, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand. The related insensitivity of the majority of these deposits to interest rate changes creates a significant inherent value which is not reflected in the fair value reported.
Time Deposits
The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase with Customers
Fair value approximates the carrying amount as these borrowings are payable on demand and the interest rate adjusts monthly.
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings
Fair value estimates are based on discounting contractual cash flows using rates which approximate the rates offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

(1) The estimated fair value of non-maturity deposits does not consider any inherent value and represents the amount payable on demand. However, non-maturity deposits do contain significant inherent value to the Company, particularly when overnight funding costs are greater than the deposit costs.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because a limited market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other significant unobservable inputs. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include premises and equipment, bank owned life insurance, deferred tax assets and goodwill. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments which involve, to varying degrees, interest rate and credit risk. The Company manages these risks as part of its asset and liability management process and through credit policies and procedures, seeking to minimize counterparty credit risk by establishing credit limits and collateral agreements. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to accommodate the business needs of its customers as well as to economically hedge the exposure that this creates for the Company. Additionally, the Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments to enhance its ability to manage interest rate risk that exists as part of its ongoing business operations. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Customer Derivatives – Interest Rate Swaps and Cap Contracts
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate swaps that allow commercial loan customers to effectively convert a variable-rate commercial loan agreement to a fixed-rate commercial loan agreement. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable-rate loan agreement with a customer in addition to an interest rate swap agreement, which serves to effectively swap the customer’s variable-rate loan into a fixed-rate loan. The Company then enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third party in order to economically hedge its exposure through the customer agreement. The Company also enters into interest rate cap contracts that enable commercial loan customers to lock in a cap on a variable-rate commercial loan agreement. This feature prevents the loan from repricing to a level that exceeds the cap contract’s specified interest rate, which serves to hedge the risk from rising interest rates. The Company then enters into an offsetting interest rate cap contract with a third party in order to economically hedge its exposure through the customer agreement.
These interest rate swaps and cap contracts with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, therefore changes in fair value are reported in earnings. As the interest rate swaps and cap contracts are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying benchmark interest rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The Company recognized losses of $2,000 and gains $11,000 in commercial loan swap income resulting from the fair value adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to gains of $22,000 and $0 for the corresponding prior year periods.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
During 2022, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap intended to add stability to its net interest income and to manage its exposure to future interest rate movements associated with a pool of floating rate commercial loans. The swap requires the Company to pay variable-rate amounts indexed to one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) to the counterparty in exchange for the receipt of fixed-rate amounts at 4.0% from the counterparty. The swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are initially reported in other comprehensive income. Amounts are subsequently reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings when the hedged transactions occur, specifically within the same line item as the hedged item (interest income). Therefore, a portion of the balance reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s interest rate swaps.
The table below presents the effect on the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (“AOCI” or “AOCL”) attributable to the cash flow hedge derivative, net of tax, and the related gains/(losses) reclassified from AOCI into income (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
(AOCL) AOCI balance at beginning of period, net of tax |  | $ | (726) |  |  | $ | 488 |  |  | $ | (36) |  |  | $ | (25) |
Unrealized losses recognized in OCI |  | (306) |  |  | (1,588) |  |  | (1,255) |  |  | (1,176) |
Losses reclassified from AOCI into interest income |  | 256 |  |  | 191 |  |  | 515 |  |  | 292 |
AOCL balance at end of period, net of tax |  | $ | (776) |  |  | $ | (909) |  |  | $ | (776) |  |  | $ | (909) |

During the next twelve months ending June 30, 2025, the Company estimates that an additional $934,000 will be reclassified as a reduction to interest income.

Total Derivatives |  | $ | 1,518,276 |  |  | $ | 87,776 |  |  | $ | 87,848 |  |  |  |  |

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the interest rate derivative counterparty. The Company minimizes this risk by being a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements with third-party broker-dealers that require a minimum dollar transfer amount upon a margin call. This requirement is dependent on certain specified credit measures. The amount of collateral posted with third parties was $0 at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The amount of collateral received from third parties was $104.3 million and $88.3 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The amount of collateral posted with third parties and received from third parties is deemed to be sufficient to collateralize both the fair market value change as well as any additional amounts that may be required as a result of a change in the specified credit measures. The aggregate fair value of all derivative financial instruments in a liability position with credit measure contingencies and entered into with third parties was $104.3 million and $87.8 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The interest rate derivatives which the Company executes with the commercial borrowers are collateralized by the borrowers’ commercial real estate financed by the Company.

Note 9. Leases
A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s leases are comprised of real estate property for branches, automated teller machine locations and office space with terms extending through 2038. The Company has one existing finance lease, which has a lease term through 2029.
The following table represents the classification of the Company’s Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (in thousands):

|  |  |  | June 30, |  | December 31,
|  |  |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Lease ROU Assets |  | Classification |  |  |  |
Operating lease ROU assets |  | Other assets |  | $ | 16,955 |  |  | $ | 18,979 |
Finance lease ROU asset |  | Premises and equipment, net |  | 1,188 |  |  | 1,304 |
Total lease ROU assets |  |  |  | $ | 18,143 |  |  | $ | 20,283 |
Lease Liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating lease liabilities (1) |  | Other liabilities |  | $ | 18,760 |  |  | $ | 20,018 |
Finance lease liability |  | Other borrowings |  | 1,555 |  |  | 1,685 |
Total lease liabilities |  |  |  | $ | 20,315 |  |  | $ | 21,703 |

(1) Operating lease liabilities excludes liabilities for future rent and estimated lease termination payments related to closed branches of $4.8 million and $5.9 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease agreements often include one or more options to renew the lease at the Company’s discretion. If the exercise of a renewal option is considered to be reasonably certain, the Company includes the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. For the discount rate, ASC Topic 842, Leases requires the Company to use the rate implicit in the lease, provided the rate is readily determinable. As this rate is not readily determinable, the Company generally utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, at lease inception, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019. For the finance lease, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception.

|  | June 30, |  | December 31,
|  | 2024 |  | 2023
Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term |  |  |  |
Operating leases |  | 6.15 years |  | 6.52 years
Finance lease |  | 5.10 years |  | 5.60 years
Weighted-Average Discount Rate |  |  |  |
Operating leases |  | 3.06 | % |  | 3.02 | %
Finance lease |  | 5.63 |  |  | 5.63 |
