Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements and the notes to the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or net cash flow.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Certain significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Adoption of ASC 326

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as subsequently updated for certain clarifications, targeted relief and codification improvements. ASC 326 replaces the previous "incurred loss" model for measuring credit losses, which required allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, with an "expected loss" model, which requires allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASC 326 also requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. In addition, ASC 326 includes certain changes to the accounting for available-for-sale securities including the requirement to present credit losses as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Upon adoption, the Company recognized an increase in the allowance for credit losses (including both loans and unfunded lending commitments) of $2.4 million, which included an after-tax cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings totaling $1.8 million. Operating results for periods after January 1, 2023 are presented in accordance with ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable standards and the accounting policies described in Note 2 of the Company's 2022 Form 10-K. In connection with the adoption of ASC 326, the Company revised certain accounting policies and implemented certain accounting policy elections. The revised accounting policies are described below.

Loans and Leases Held for Investment

Loans and leases held for investment (“loans”) represent financial instruments that management has the intent and the ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff. Loans are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, fair value hedge accounting adjustments, as well as deferred loan fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable on loans and leases is reported separately on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

At the time a loan is 90 days delinquent, it is placed on nonaccrual status unless it is well-secured and in process of collection. Interest income is discontinued on all loans on nonaccrual status. Past-due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are moved to nonaccrual status, or charged off at an earlier date, if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received on loans on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery methods, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans and Leases

The allowance for credit losses is a contra-asset valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is adjusted through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses.

Management estimates the allowance balance by using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in loan-specific risk characteristics such as changes in economic and business conditions, underwriting standards, portfolio mix, and delinquency level. Considerations related to environmental conditions include reasonable and supportable current and forecasted data related to economic factors such as inflation and unemployment levels, as well as interest rates.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty as of the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for estimated selling costs as appropriate.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company, or management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a loan modification will be made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.

Additional information related to the factors considered in evaluating credit losses on loans and leases is included in Note 4.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The following categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures have been identified: unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees (collectively, “unfunded lending commitments”). The allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments is adjusted through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses. The estimate may include consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded, as well as reasonable practical expedients or industry practices to assist in the evaluation of estimated funding amounts.

Additional information related to the factors considered in evaluating credit losses on loans and leases is included in Note 4.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Investment Securities Held-to-Maturity

Expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities are measured on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses on investment securities held-to-maturity is adjusted through the provision for (recovery of) credit losses.

Additional information related to the factors considered in evaluating credit losses in the held-to-maturity investment portfolio is included in Note 3.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes in the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the provision for (recovery of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Additional information related to the factors considered in evaluating credit losses in the available-for-sale investment portfolio is included in Note 3.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding ("basic shares"). Included in basic shares are shares that have been accrued as of the balance sheet date as deferred compensation for members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors, as well as shares of restricted stock that have been granted pursuant to Bancshares’ 2013 Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2013 Incentive Plan”) previously approved by Bancshares’ shareholders. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive stock awards outstanding during the period ("dilutive shares"). The dilutive shares consist of unexercised nonqualified stock option grants issued to employees and members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan. The following table reflects the weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income, as well as unrealized holding gains and losses that arise during the period associated with the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio and the effective portion of cash flow hedge derivatives. In the calculation of comprehensive income, reclassification adjustments are made for gains or losses realized in the statement of operations associated with the sale of available-for-sale securities, settlement of derivative contracts or changes in the fair value of cash flow derivatives.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Reference Rate Reform

ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." These ASUs provide temporary relief, in the form of optional expedients and exceptions, for applying GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate (e.g. LIBOR) reforms. Historically, the Company has utilized LIBOR, among other indexes, as a reference rate for underwriting certain variable rate loans and interest rate hedging instruments. Since the issuance of this guidance, cessation of U.S. dollar LIBOR has been extended to June 30, 2023. Accordingly, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset date of ASC Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients designed to provide relief from accounting analysis and the impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements necessitated by reference rate reform. The optional expedients provided by the update include guidance related to modifications of contracts within the scope of ASC Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, that indicates the modifications should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s contracts referencing LIBOR are limited to certain variable-rate loan agreements. Management has implemented a process to revise such contracts by converting them to another reference rate at an appropriate time in accordance with pricing reset dates. Due to the prospective nature of the implementation of the revised guidance, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Portfolio Layer Hedging Method

ASU 2022-01, "Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01. The amendments in this standard expand the current last-of-layer method of hedge accounting to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. The Company adopted ASU 2022-01 on January 1, 2023. Due to the prospective nature of the implementation of this revised guidance, the adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles and Goodwill

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity, prior to the amendments in ASU 2017-04, had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in accordance with the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. However, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As originally issued, ASU 2017-04 was effective prospectively for annual, or any interim, goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the FASB approved a delay in the implementation of

ASU 2017-04 by three years for smaller reporting companies, including the Company. The ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard update did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Current Expected Credit Loss Accounting Guidance

ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 removed the thresholds that entities previously applied to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. Known as the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model, the revised guidance removed all recognition thresholds under previously used incurred loss models and requires entities to recognize an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. The standard also added disclosure requirements intended to enable users of the financial statements to understand credit risk in the portfolio and how management monitors credit quality, management’s estimate of expected credit losses, and changes in the estimate of credit losses during the period. 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 does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. As originally issued, ASU 2016-13 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with institutions required to apply the changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to their retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. On October 16, 2019, the FASB approved a delay in the implementation of ASU 2016-13 by three years for smaller reporting companies, including the Company. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased the allowance for credit losses by approximately $2.1 million. In addition, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that increased other liabilities by $0.3 million as an allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments. In accordance with transition accounting guidance, the transition adjustments were recorded directly to retained earnings (net of tax) during the first quarter of 2023 and did not impact current period earnings.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and Vintage Disclosures.” Issued in March 2022, ASU 2022-02 seeks to improve the decision usefulness of information provided to investors concerning certain loan refinancings, restructurings and write-offs. The ASU eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL accounting model and enhanced the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, concurrent with the adoption of the CECL accounting model. The amendments of ASU 2022-02 include only changes to certain financial statement disclosures; and, therefore, adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
