Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used as risk management tools by the Company to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows through the receipt of fixed or variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate or fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company, however, discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it is probable the forecasted hedged transactions will not occur in the initially identified time period due to circumstances, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon discontinuance, the associated gains and losses deferred in AOCI are reclassified immediately into earnings and subsequent changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are recognized in earnings. The Company entered into one new interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge with a notional value of $75.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, the Company had two interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments with a total notional value of $125.0 million for the purpose of hedging the variable cash flows of selected AFS securities or loans or hedging variable cash flows associated with the Company's borrowings compared to two interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $100.0 million at December 31, 2022 for the purpose of hedging the variable cash flows of selected AFS securities. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. The gain or loss on the fair value hedge, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings as the fair value changes. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. The Company entered into three pay-fixed interest rate swaps on certain closed portfolio loans with our commercial clients with a total notional value of $100.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The commercial loans are scheduled to mature at various dates ranging from December 2026 to October 2054. The interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges and allow the Company to offer long-term fixed rate loans to commercial clients while mitigating the interest rate risk of a long-term asset by converting fixed rate interest payments to floating rate interest payments indexed to a synthetic U.S. SOFR rate. The Company did not have fair value hedges for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company enters into interest rate swaps that allow its 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. In addition, the Company may enter into interest rate caps that allow its commercial loan customers to gain protection against significant interest rate increases and provide an upper limit, or cap, on the variable interest rate. The Company then enters into a corresponding swap or cap agreement with a third party in order to economically hedge its exposure through the customer agreement. The interest rate swaps and interest rate caps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges and are marked through earnings. At December 31, 2023, the Company had 35 customer and 35 corresponding third-party broker interest rate derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument with an aggregate notional amount of $444.8 million. The Company had $268.8 million of such derivative instruments at December 31, 2022. The Company entered into nine new interest rate swaps with its commercial loan customers and recognized swap fee income of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to swap fee income of $2.5 million from 14 new interest rate swaps with its commercial loan customers for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The Company did not enter into any interest new rate cap agreements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company entered into one new interest rate cap with a commercial loan customer and recognized fee income of $14 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is included in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash collateral of $6.6 million and $5.4 million with the third parties for certain of these derivatives, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company received cash collateral of $4.4 million and $8.5 million from a counterparty for these derivatives, respectively. The Company also may enter into risk participation agreements with a financial institution counterparty for an interest rate derivative contract related to a loan in which the Company is a participant or the agent bank. The risk participation agreement provides credit protection to the agent bank should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contracts with the agent bank. The Company manages its credit risk on the risk participation agreement by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrower, which is based on the same credit review process as though the Company had entered into the derivative instruments directly with the borrower. The notional amount of a risk participation agreement reflects the Company’s pro-rata share of the derivative instrument, consistent with its share of the related participated loan. At December 31, 2023, the Company had four risk participation agreements with sold protection with a notional value of $32.7 million compared to three risk participation agreements with sold protection with a notional value of $29.0 million at December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company had three risk participation with purchased protection with a notional value of $11.0 million at December 31, 2023 compared to one risk participation agreement with purchased protection with a notional value of $4.9 million at December 31, 2022. The Company received an upfront fee of $31 thousand upon entry into one new risk participation agreements for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $140 thousand upon entry into four new risk participation with sold protection for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is included in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. As a part of its normal residential mortgage operations, the Company will enter into an interest rate lock commitment with a potential borrower. The Company may enter into a corresponding commitment to an investor to sell that loan at a specific price shortly after origination. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, adjustments are recorded through earnings to account for the net change in fair value of these transactions for the held for sale pipeline. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, adjustments are recorded through earnings to account for the net change in fair value of these held for sale loans. The fair value of held for sale loans can vary based on the interest rate locked with the customer and the current market interest rate at the balance sheet date.
