Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company, the Bank, with locations in Bloomington, Greenwood, Minneapolis (2), St. Louis Park, Orono, and St. Paul, Minnesota, BWB Holdings, LLC, and Bridgewater Investment Management, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information available which could affect judgements includes, but is not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, including elevated levels of inflation and possible recession, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, or ACL, calculation of deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments, and investment securities impairment.
Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into fair value hedge relationships to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair value of fixed rate available for sale securities. The gain or loss on a given derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the corresponding hedged item. The Company prepares written hedge documentation for all derivatives which are designed as hedges. The written hedge documentation includes identification of, among other items, the risk management objective, hedging instrument, hedged item and methodologies for assessing and measuring hedge effectiveness and ineffectiveness, along with support for management's assertion that the hedge will be highly effective. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness on qualifying instruments using the shortcut method, whereby the hedges are considered perfectly effective at the onset of the hedge and over the life of the hedging relationship.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements: Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. The ASU amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective January 1, 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
