The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities at September 30, 2024, by the earlier of contractual maturity or expected maturity, are shown below. The Corporation has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable, totaling $2.27 million at September 30, 2024, from the amortized cost basis of securities.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There were 465 debt securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis, totaling $300.61 million of aggregate fair value as of September 30, 2024. The Corporation concluded that a credit loss did not exist in its securities portfolio at September 30, 2024, and no impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were caused primarily by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Corporation intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.  Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.

The Corporation’s investment in restricted stock totaled $4.54 million at September 30, 2024 and $2.93 million at December 31, 2023 and consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) stock.  Restricted stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment, which is carried at cost because there is no market for the stock other than to be redeemed or repurchased by the FHLB. Therefore, when evaluating restricted stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing any temporary decline in value. The Corporation did not consider its investment in restricted stock to be impaired at September 30, 2024 and no impairment has been recognized.
