Unrealized losses on securities available for sale have not been recognized into income because the issuers' debt securities are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), management does not intend to sell, and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

The Company does not believe the available for sale securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which consisted of 41 and 52 individual securities, respectively, represented a credit loss impairment. Available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of the available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position consisted of debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises that carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, which are widely recognized as “risk-free” and have a long history of zero credit losses. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

None of the Company’s held to maturity debt securities were past due or on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There was no accrued interest reversed against interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as all securities remained on accrual status. In addition, there were no collateral dependent held to maturity debt securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. An allowance for credit losses on held to maturity debt securities is recorded to account for expected lifetime credit losses.

The following table sets forth information with regard to contractual maturities of debt securities (dollars in thousands). Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.
