As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned 119 securities in an unrealized loss position. Of these securities, 28 were S&P rated AAA, 79 were rated AA, 3 were rated A, 3 were rated BBB, and 6 were non-rated. As of March 31, 2025, 54 of these securities were municipal issues, 52 were backed directly or indirectly by the U.S. government, and 13 were issues of publicly traded domestic corporations. The Company monitors its municipal and corporate securities by periodically reviewing the issuer’s cash flow and revenue streams, as well as other economic factors that could affect the issuer’s ability to service and/or repay the debt.

The Company has evaluated available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for credit-related impairment at March 31, 2025, and concluded no impairment existed based on a combination of factors, which included: (1) the securities are of high credit quality; (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates; (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of each investment; (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments; and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, nor is it likely that management will be required to sell the securities. As such, there was no allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2025.

The Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio is covered by the explicit or implied guarantee of the United States government or one of its agencies and is rated investment grade or higher. As a result, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

All held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were current, with no securities past due or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
