Mortgage Banking Activities

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

The Bank’s residential real estate lending business originated mortgage loans for customers and typically sold a majority of the originated loans into the secondary market. For most of the mortgages sold in the secondary market, the Bank hedged its mortgage banking pipeline by entering into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and entering into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that would be sold into the secondary market. To facilitate the hedging of the loans, the Bank elected the fair value option for loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements. Changes in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, IRLCs and forward contracts are recorded in the mortgage banking activities line item within noninterest income. Refer to Note 13 for further information on derivative financial instruments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had no mortgage loans held-for-sale or sold mortgage loans into the secondary market. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company originated $85.1 million of mortgage loans held-for-sale and sold $95.0 million of mortgage loans into the secondary market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company originated mortgage loans held-for-sale of $36.3 million and $343.3 million, respectively, and sold $46.5 million and $365.3 million of mortgage loans, respectively, into the secondary market.
