Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

ASU No. 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)

This guidance provides temporary options to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. However, a deferral of the implementation of the Reference Rate Reform was issued in December of 2022, which extends the implementation to December 31, 2024. The Company has implemented a replacement for the reference rate and has determined that the changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-13: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) (“ASC 326”) as amended. The new accounting guidance in this ASU replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The CECL methodology is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments that are noncancellable), and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. The CECL methodology requires an entity to estimate credit losses over the life of an asset or off-balance sheet credit exposure.

In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management determines that the Company does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not, that the Company will not be required to sell the securities.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The transition adjustment of the CECL adoption included an increase in the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) of $1.4 million and an increase of $1.1 million to establish a reserve for unfunded commitments, with a $2.0 million decrease to retained earnings, and $0.5 million of deferred tax being recorded as part of the deferred tax asset in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The following table details the impact of the adoption of ASC 326:

ASU No. 2022-02: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which removed the existing measurement and disclosure requirements for loans considered to be Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and added additional disclosure requirements related to modifications provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02, a change in contractual terms of a loan where a borrower was experiencing financial difficulty and received a concession not available through other sources was required to be disclosed as a TDR, whereas now a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty and receives a modification in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or a term extension in the current period needs to be disclosed. The amendment was adopted prospectively and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements aside from additional and revised financial statement disclosures (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

ASU No. 2023-02: Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (ASU 2023-02).

This ASU permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. A reporting entity makes an accounting policy election to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures, primarily related to effective tax rate reconciliation and information related to income taxes paid, among certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of such disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are to be applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
