Derivative Financial Instruments:

 

Interest Rate Swaps

 

The Company maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers. Under this program, the Company provides a variable rate loan while creating a fixed rate loan for the customer by the customer entering into an interest rate swap with terms that match the loan. The Company offsets its risk exposure by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. The Company had interest rate swaps associated with commercial loans with a notional value of $72.9 million and fair value of $5.8 million in other assets and $5.8 million in other liabilities at September 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021 the Company had interest rate swaps associated with commercial loans with and a notional value of $86.1 million and fair value of $4.0 million in other assets and $4.0 million in other liabilities. The interest rate swaps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under FASB ASC 815 and are not marked to market through earnings. As the interest rate swaps 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 FASB ASC 820.

 

There were no net gains or losses for interest rate swaps for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

 

Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third-party investors are considered derivatives. Effective May 2022, the Company began the practice of entering into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when the interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated as hedge instruments. The Company had approximately $11.6 million of interest rate lock commitments at September 30, 2022 and $25.7 million of interest rate lock commitments at December 31, 2021. There were $8.0 million of forward sales of mortgage backed securities and $600 thousand of forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans at September 30, 2022.

 

The net gains and losses on derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are included in mortgage banking income. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, losses of $283 thousand and $535 thousand, respectively, were included in mortgage banking income for the interest rate lock commitments. Gains of $363 thousand and $386 thousand respectively, were included in mortgage banking income for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 for the forward sales of mortgage backed securities.
