Mortgage Banking Derivatives |
Mortgage Banking Derivatives | Note 4. Mortgage Banking Derivatives As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Bank then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of mortgage backed securities. Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Bank determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates, taking into consideration the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded. Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to any MBS to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Bank does not close the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to deliver MBS to the counterparty under the forward sales agreement. Should this be required, the Bank could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans or MBS and such costs could have an adverse effect on mortgage banking operations. The fair value of the mortgage banking derivatives is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change. At June 30, 2020, the Bank had no material mortgage banking derivative financial instruments. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company suspended locking loans for sale on a mandatory basis as a result of significant market dislocation that was experienced as a result of COVID-19 as well as the operational strain associated with the mandatory underwriting process given the volume of residential mortgages. At June 30, 2019 the Bank had mortgage banking derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $124.5 million related to its forward contracts. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivative instruments at December 31, 2019 was $280 thousand included in other assets and $66 thousand included in other liabilities. Included in other noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was a net gain of $1.1 million and a net loss of $165 thousand relating to mortgage banking derivative instruments as compared to a net gain of $84 thousand and net gain of $219 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The amount included in other noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 pertaining to its mortgage banking hedging activities was a net realized gain of $1.3 million and a net loss of $7 thousand, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $94 thousand and net loss of $49 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
