Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposures to business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amounts, sources, and duration of assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate derivative instruments to minimize unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy generally involves modifying the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities to mitigate negative impacts on net interest margin and/or cash flow. Interest rate derivative instruments utilized by the Company generally include interest rate swap contracts or option contracts, such as caps and floors. The Company’s existing credit derivatives result from participations of loan participation arrangements, and therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities.The fair values of derivative instruments are carried in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as assets and/or liabilities. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes and generally enters into transactions that have a qualifying hedge relationship. When hedge accounting is used, derivatives are classified as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges in order to mitigate economic risks or risks associated with volatility in connection with customer derivative transactions. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had active hedges in place that were receiving hedge accounting treatment, as well as derivative instruments that were not receiving hedge accounting treatment. In addition, the Company’s net interest income continued to benefit from certain derivative contracts that were terminated in prior periods, but that were originally designated for hedge accounting purposes. In accordance with original hedge relationship, unrealized gains recorded upon termination are being reclassified to interest income or interest expense over the original terms of the derivative contracts. Cash Flow Hedges In August 2024, the Company entered into two forward starting interest rate swap contracts with the objective of protecting the Company against variability in expected future cash flows attributed to changes in the SOFR interest rate on the designated notional of interest-bearing liabilities. Each of the contracts has a $20 million notional amount, or $40 million in aggregate. The interest rate swaps were designated as derivative instruments in cash flow hedges. In accordance with the related contracts, the Company pays a fixed interest rate and receives a variable interest rate based on the SOFR, on the notional amounts, with quarterly net settlements. The swap contracts are scheduled to terminate on September 6, 2027 and March 15, 2028. As of September 30, 2024, the hedge relationships for both swaps were designated effective, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the contracts were included as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. Fair Value Hedges In June 2023, the Company entered into three forward interest rate swap contracts on a pool of fixed rate indirect consumer loans. Each of the three contracts has a $10.0 million notional amount, or $30.0 million in aggregate. The interest rate swaps were designated as derivative instruments in fair value hedges with the objective of effectively converting a pool of fixed rate indirect consumer loans to a variable rate throughout the hedge durations in accordance with the portfolio layer method. In accordance with the related contracts, for each swap, the Company pays a fixed interest rate and receives a variable interest rate based on the SOFR, on the notional amounts, with monthly net settlements. The three swap contracts are scheduled to terminate at different maturity dates, including December 1, 2025, December 1, 2026, and June 1, 2027. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the hedge relationships for all three swaps were designated effective, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the contracts were included as adjustment to the underlying fixed rate consumer loans. Interest Rate Floors In March 2024, the Company entered into two interest rate floor contracts, each with a notional amount of $25.0 million, or $50.0 million in aggregate. The interest rate floor contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the contracts are being recorded as non-interest income or expense over the term of each contract. Both of the derivative contracts are intended to mitigate the Company’s risk of loss associated with downward shifts in the SOFR. One of the contracts will provide cash flow to the Company in the event the SOFR decreases below 4.0% before the contract’s designated termination date of March 27, 2025, while the other contract will provide cash flow to the Company in the event the SOFR decreases below 3.0% prior to the contract’s designated termination date of March 27, 2026. Credit Derivatives In September 2024, the Company entered into a credit risk participation agreement with a lead participant bank with which the Company shares a participation loan. For participating in the agreement, the Company received a one-time fee which was included in other liabilities. The derivative is not eligible for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, valuation changes are recorded directly to non-interest income or expense. Previously Terminated Hedges In February 2023, the Company voluntarily terminated four interest rates swap contracts, each with notional amounts of $10.0 million, or an aggregate amount of $40.0 million. Two of the swaps were previously designated as cash flow hedges, while two were previously designated as fair value hedges. The termination of the cash flow hedges resulted in a net unrealized gain totaling $1.1 million. The unrealized gain was initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and is being reclassified to reduce interest expense over the original terms of the swap contracts. Remaining unrealized gains associated with these terminated cash flow hedges totaled $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The termination of the fair value hedges resulted in an unrealized gain totaling $1.0 million which is being reclassified to increase interest income over the original terms of the swap contracts. Remaining unrealized gains associated with the fair value hedges totaled zero and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In May 2022, the Company voluntarily terminated one interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $10.0 million. The swap was previously designated as a cash flow hedge. The termination resulted in a net unrealized gain of $0.3 million. The unrealized gain was initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and was reclassified to reduce interest expense over the original term of the swap contract. Remaining unrealized gains associated with this terminated cash flow hedge totaled zero and $84 thousand as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Presentation The table below reflects the notional amount and fair value of active derivative instruments included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a net basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
