Every quarter, the Company evaluates investment securities with unrealized losses to determine if the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. There were 17 securities in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and 165 securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater on September 30, 2024. Unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale have not been recognized into income because we do not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of their amortized cost. The unrealized losses on investment securities were attributable to changes in interest rates and not related to the credit quality of these issuers. As of September 30, 2024, no ACL was required on investment securities available for sale.
