LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables. For further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies and policy elections related to the accounting standard update refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this Form 10-K. All loan information presented as of December 31, 2020 is in accordance with ASC 326. All loan information presented prior to January 1, 2020 is in accordance with previous applicable GAAP.

During March 2020, the United States President declared a national emergency in response to COVID-19. The CARES Act was passed by the U.S. Congress and the March 22 Joint Guidance was issued, both in March of 2020, and both provided enhanced guidelines and accounting for COVID-19 related modifications, as well as provided relief for TDR designations and also provided guidance on past due reporting for modified loans. On December 27, 2020, certain provisions of the CARES Act were extended as a result of the CAA. For further discussion on the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, and the March 22 Joint Guidance and related loan impact refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Polices” in this Form 10-K. The information included below reflects the impact of the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, and the March 22 Joint Guidance.

Loans are stated at their face amount, net of deferred fees and costs, and consist of the following at December 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, permits financial institutions to suspend requirements under GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise be characterized as TDRs and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the loan modification is made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration and (ii) the applicable loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. In addition, federal bank regulatory authorities have issued guidance to encourage financial institutions to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 and have assured financial institutions that they will neither receive supervisory criticism for such prudent loan modifications, nor be required by examiners to automatically categorize COVID-19-related loan modifications as TDRs. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $146.1 million in loans still under their modified terms. The Company’s modification program primarily included payment deferrals and interest only modifications.

In addition to the above mentioned modifications, as of December 31, 2020, the Company has TDRs totaling $20.6 million with an estimated $1.6 million of allowance for those loans for the current period.

A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession that it would not otherwise consider to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. All loans that are considered to be TDRs are evaluated for credit losses in accordance with the Company’s ALLL methodology. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the recorded investment in TDRs prior to modifications was not materially impacted by the modifications.

The following table provides a summary, by class, of TDRs that continue to accrue interest under the terms of the applicable restructuring agreement, which are considered to be performing, and TDRs that have been placed on nonaccrual status, which are considered to be nonperforming, as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any material loans that went into default that had been restructured in the twelve-month period prior to the time of default.

The following table shows, by class and modification type, TDRs that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

ALLL on the loan portfolio is a material estimate for the Company. The Company estimates its ALLL on its loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. The Company models the ALLL using two primary segments, Commercial and Consumer. Within each segment, loan classes are further identified based on similar risk characteristics. The Company has identified the following classes within each segment:

Commercial: Construction and Land Development, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied, Multifamily Real Estate, Commercial & Industrial, Residential 1-4 Family – Commercial, and Other Commercial
Consumer: Residential 1-4 Family – Consumer, Residential 1-4 Family – Revolving, Auto, and Consumer

The following tables show the ALLL activity by segment for the year ended December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Credit Quality Indicators

Credit quality indicators are utilized to help estimate the collectability of each loan class within the Commercial and Consumer segments. For classes of loans within the Commercial segment, the primary credit quality indicator used for evaluating credit quality and estimating the ALLL is risk rating categories of Pass, Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful.  For classes of loans within the Consumer segment, the primary credit quality indicator used for evaluating credit quality and estimating the ALLL is delinquency bands of Current, 30-59, 60-89, 90+, and Nonaccrual.  While other credit quality indicators are evaluated and analyzed as part of the Company’s credit risk management activities, these indicators are primarily used in estimating the ALLL. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its loan portfolio on at least a quarterly basis.

Commercial Loans

The Company uses a risk rating system as the primary credit quality indicator for classes of loans within the Commercial segment. The risk rating system on a scale of 0 through 9 is used to determine risk level as used in the calculation of the allowance for credit loss. The risk levels, as described below, do not necessarily follow the regulatory definitions of risk levels with the same name. A general description of the characteristics of the risk levels follows:

Pass is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 0 loans have little or no risk and are with General Obligation Municipal Borrowers;
Risk rated 1 loans have little or no risk and are generally secured by cash or cash equivalents;
Risk rated 2 loans have minimal risk to well qualified borrowers and no significant questions as to safety;
Risk rated 3 loans are satisfactory loans with strong borrowers and secondary sources of repayment;
Risk rated 4 loans are satisfactory loans with borrowers not as strong as risk rated 3 loans and may exhibit a greater degree of financial risk based on the type of business supporting the loan.

Watch is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 5 loans are watch loans that warrant more than the normal level of supervision and have the possibility of an event occurring that may weaken the borrower’s ability to repay;

Special Mention

Risk rated 6 loans have increasing potential weaknesses beyond those at which the loan originally was granted and if not addressed could lead to inadequately protecting the Company’s credit position.

Substandard is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 7 loans are substandard loans and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth or paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged; these have well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt with the distinct possibility the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 8 loans are doubtful of collection and the possibility of loss is high but pending specific borrower plans for recovery, its classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined;
Risk rated 9 loans are loss loans which are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

The table below details the amortized cost of the classes of loans within the Commercial segment by risk level and year of origination as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):
