nonpublic company effective dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Relevant standards that were recently issued but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2020:

2021:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This update addresses optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to certain contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The new guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. For public and nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and dodoes not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022. The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012 and has elected to defer the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until the nonpublic company effective dates. As such, the Company will adopt this standard on the nonpublic company effective date and is currently in the process of reviewing its contracts and existing processes in order to assess the risks and potential impact of the transition away from LIBOR.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and relevant amendments (Topic(Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). This update was created to replace the current GAAP method of calculating credit losseslosses. Specifically, the standard replaces the existing incurred loss impairment guidance by requiring immediate recognition of expected credit losses. For financial assets carried at amortized cost that are held at the reporting date (including trade and other receivables, loans and commitments, held-to-maturity debt securities and other financial assets). Credit, credit losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The standard also amends existing impairment guidance for available for sale securities, in which credit losses will be recorded as an allowance versus a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the security. It will also allow for a reversal of impairment loss when the credit of the issuer improves. The guidance requires a cumulative effect of the initial application to be recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.Losses (“ASU 2018-19”). The amendments in Update No.ASU 2018-19 waswere intended to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.Leases. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This update requires entities to include expected recoveries of the amortized cost basis previously written off or expected to be written off in the valuation account for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In addition, the amendments in this update clarify and improve various aspects of the guidance for ASU 2016-13.

For public entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer (excluding smaller reporting entities) the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. to provide economic relief measures including the option to defer adoption of ASU 2016-13 to the earlier of the ending of the national emergency declaration related to the COVID-19 crisis or December 31, 2020. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Appropriations Act”) was enacted to fund the federal government through their fiscal year, extend certain expiring tax provisions and provide additional emergency relief to individuals and businesses related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Included within the provisions of the Appropriations Act is an extension of the adoption date for ASU 2016-13 from December 31, 2020 to the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date on which the COVID-19 national emergency terminates. The Company which currently qualifies as an EGC, anticipates to early adoptdeferring adoption of this standard duringto January 1, 2022.
To address the year ending on December 31, 2021impact of ASU 2016-13, the Company has formed a committee, which members include the Chief Credit Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Information Officer, to assist in identifying, implementing, and evaluating the impact of the required changes to loan loss estimation models and processes. The Company is evaluating portfolio segmentation, methodologies and other assumptions and has initiated model validation efforts. Third parties have been engaged to assist the Company in project management, documentation, model governance, model validation and related internal controls implementation. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of thisnew standard on its consolidated financial statements. To date,
In August 2018, the Company has been assessingFASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the key differencesDisclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”).

In accordanceOther–Internal-use software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). This update addresses accounting for fees paid by a customer for implementation, set-up and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by the vendor (i.e., a service contract). The new guidance aligns treatment for capitalization of implementation costs with guidance on internal-use software. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. For nonpublic company requirements,entities, the Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2019. In completing its assessment of the Company’s revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606, the Company did not identify any revenue sourcesguidance is effective for which the timing of recognition needed to change under the new standard.annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and for all interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 20192021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its current accounting policies and practices, or the timing or amount of revenue recognized. As a result, no adjustment has been made to retained earnings. Additionally, the Company evaluated and made necessary changes, where appropriate, to business processes, systems, and internal controls in order to support the recognition, measurement, and disclosure requirements of the new standard. The Company also considered the impact of ASC 606 subtopic ASC 340-40. Under ASC 340-40, the Company is required to capitalize and amortize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, over the period of benefit. The Company does not pay sales commissions and has not identified any other incremental cost to obtain a contract, therefore ASC 340-40 had no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016,January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 842)848) (“ASU 2016-02”2021-01”). Topic 842 was subsequently amended which expands the scope of guidance in ASC 848 so that companies can apply the optional expedients to derivative instruments affected by the clearing house changes. ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 (“2021-01 also clarifies and updates several items in ASU 2018-01”);2020-04 as part of the Board’s monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”); ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”); and ASU 2018-20 Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors (“ASU 2018-20”). ASU 2018-012021-01 permits an entityentities to elect ancertain optional transition practical expedientexpedients and exceptions to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easementsmodifications of interest rate indexes used for computing when accounting derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships impacted by changes in interest rates used for discounting, margining, or contract price alignment. ASU 2021-01 clarifies other aspects of the guidance in ASC 848 and provides new guidance on how to address the effects of the cash compensation adjustment that exist or expired beforeis provided as part of the entity’s adoptionabove change on certain aspects of Topic 842hedge accounting. The guidance was effective upon issuance and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. ASU 2018-10 was issued to clarify the Codification or to correct unintended application of guidance within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows for an optional transition method in which the provisions of Topic 842 would be applied upon the adoption date and would not have to be retroactively applied to the earliest reporting period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Lastly, ASU 2018-20 provided narrow-scope improvements for lessors, which was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. ASU 2016-02 and the several additional amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as ASC 842.

ASC 842 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and requires all leasesretrospective or prospective application with a term longer than 12 months to be reported on the balance sheet through recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability for future lease obligations. Leases will be classified as financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and grouping of expenses in the income statement. The standard also requires extensive disclosures for assets, expenses, and cash flows associated with leases, as well as a maturity analysis of lease liabilities. In November 2019, FASB issued guidance delaying the effective date for all entities except for public business entities that are SEC filers. For public business entities the guidance is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, for all other entities the guidance is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, early adoption is permitted for all entities.

certain conditions. The Company early adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. In accordance with ASU 2018-11, the Company used the effective date as the date of application and, therefore, periods prior to January 1, 2020, weredid not restated. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under ASC 842. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient and, therefore, used the hindsight knowledge as of the effective date when determining lease terms and impairment. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and, therefore, accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component. The new standard also provides a practical expedient for an entity’s ongoing accounting relating to leases of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”). The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify and will not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases.elect retrospective application. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use asset and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet for its real estate and equipment operating leases of $92.9 million and $96.4 million, respectively. The Company recorded an adjustment to remove the Company’s existing deferred rent liability of approximately $3.5 million. The Company also recognized a transition adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2020 amounting to $1.1 million, net of tax, related to an incremental accrued rent adjustment calculated as a result of electing the hindsight practical expedient. The amount of right-of-use assets were determined based upon the present value of the remaining minimal rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases, adjusted for options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, less accrued rent as of December 31, 2019 and the incremental accrued rent as a result of electing the hindsight practical expedient. Lastly, the amount of lease liabilities was determined based upon the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases, adjusted for options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This update modifies the disclosure requirements related to the fair value measurements in Topic 820. Specifically, this update amends disclosure around changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and the description of measurement uncertainty. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. This update did not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2018-16”). This update permits the use of the Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The amendments should be adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or re-structured hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. This update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

3. Securities

The Company had trading securities of $0 and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The reduction in the Company’s trading portfolio was due to the Company’s exit of its capital markets business during the year ended December 31, 2019.

2020.

Management prepares an estimate of the expected cash flows for investment securities available for sale that potentially may be deemed to have been an OTTI. This estimate begins with the contractual cash flows of the security. This amount is then reduced by an estimate of probable credit losses associated with the security. When estimating the extent of probable losses on the securities, management considers the credit quality and the ability to pay of the underlying issuers. Indicators of diminished credit quality of the issuers include defaults, interest deferrals, or “payments in kind.” Management also considers those factors listed in the Investments“Investments – Debt and Equity SecuritiesSecurities” topic of the FASB ASC when estimating the ultimate realizability of the cash flows for each individual security.

The resulting estimate of cash flows after considering credit is then subject to a present value computation using a discount rate equal to the current yield used to accrete the beneficial interest or the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition. If the present value of the estimated cash flows is less than the current amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred and the security is written down to the fair value indicated by the cash flow analysis. As part of the analysis, management considers whether it intends to sell the security or whether it is more than likely that it would be required to sell the security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis.

Information pertaining to available for sale securities with gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, which the Company has not deemed to be OTTI, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, follows:

The Company does not intend to sell these investments and has determined based upon available evidence that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell each security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis. As a result, the Company does not consider these investments with gross unrealized losses to be OTTI. The Company made this determination by reviewing various qualitative and quantitative factors regarding each investment category, such as current market conditions, extent and nature of changes in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, and volatility of earnings.

As a result of the Company’s review of these qualitative and quantitative factors, the causes of the impairments listed in the tables above by category are as follows as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019:

Government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities - The securities with unrealized losses in this portfolio have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the current par value of the investment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

17

Table of Contents

The allowance for loan losses is established to provide for probable losses incurred in the Company’s loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to net income. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, are charged directly to the allowance. Commercial and residential loans are charged-off in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Delinquent loans in these product types are subject to ongoing review and analysis to determine if a charge-off in the current period is appropriate. For consumer loans, policies and procedures exist that require charge-off consideration upon a certain triggering event depending on the product type.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Management uses a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of loss incurred in the portfolio. Commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, commercial construction and business banking loans are evaluated using a loan rating system, historical losses and other factors which form the basis for estimating incurred losses. Portfolios of more homogeneous populations of loans, including residential mortgages and consumer loans, are analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency ratios, historical loss experience and charge-offs. For the purpose of estimating the allowance for loan losses, management segregates the loan portfolio into the categories noted in the above tables. Each of these loan categories possesspossesses unique risk characteristics such as the purpose of the loan, repayment source, and collateral. These characteristics are considered when determining the appropriate level of the allowance for each category. Some examples of these risk characteristics unique to each loan category include:

Commercial Lending

Commercial and industrial: The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at origination. Collateral frequently consists of a first lien position on business assets including, but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, airplanes and equipment. The primary repayment source is operating cash flow and, secondarily, the liquidation of assets. The Company often obtains personal guarantees from individuals holding material ownership in the borrowing entity.

Commercial real estate: Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. Primary repayment sources include operating income generated by the real estate, permanent debt refinancing, sale of the real estate and, secondarily, by liquidation of the collateral. The Company often obtains personal guarantees from individuals holding material ownership in the borrowing equity.

entity.

Commercial construction: These loans are generally considered to present a higher degree of risk than other real estate loans and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as adverse changes in interest rates and the borrower’s ability to control costs and adhere to time schedules. Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Construction loan repayment is substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to complete the project and obtain permanent financing.

20

Business banking: These loans are typically secured by all business assets or commercial real estate. Business banking originations include traditionally underwritten loans as well as partially automated scored loans. Business banking scored loans are determined by utilizing the Company’s proprietary decision matrix that has a number of quantitative factors including, but not limited to, a guarantor’s credit score, industry risk, and time in business. The Company also engages in Small Business Association (“SBA”) lending, both in the business banking and commercial banking divisions. The SBA guarantees reduce the Company’s loss due to default and are considered a credit enhancement to the loan structure.

Residential Lending

Residential real estate: These loans are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to repay principal and interest on a monthly basis. Underwriting considerations include, among others, income sources and their reliability, willingness to repay as evidenced by credit repayment history, financial resources (including cash reserves) and the value of the collateral. The Company maintains policy standards for minimum credit score and cash reserves and maximum loan to value consistent with a “prime” portfolio. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family residential dwellings. The Company does not originate or purchase sub-prime or other high-risk loans. Residential loans are originated either for sale to investors or retained in the Company’s loan portfolio. Decisions about whether to sell or retain residential loans are made based on the interest rate characteristics, pricing for loans in the secondary mortgage market, competitive factors and the Company’s capital needs.

Consumer Lending

Consumer home equity: Home equity lines of credit are granted for ten years with monthly interest-only repayment requirements. Full principal repayment is required at the end of the ten-year draw period. Home equity loans are term loans that require the monthly payment of principal and interest such that the loan will be fully amortized at maturity. Underwriting considerations are materially consistent with those utilized in residential real estate. Collateral consists of a senior or subordinate lien on owner-occupied residential property.

Other consumer: The Company’s policy and underwriting in this category, which is comprised primarily of airplanehome improvement and automobile loans, include the following factors, among others: income sources and reliability, credit histories, term of repayment, and collateral value, as applicable. These are typically granted on an unsecured basis, with the exception of airplane and automobile loans.

Credit Quality

Commercial Lending Credit Quality

The Company monitors credit quality indicators and utilizes portfolio scorecards to assess the risk of its commercial portfolio. Specifically, the Company utilizes a 15-point credit risk-rating system to manage risk and identify potential problem loans.
Prior to December 31, 2020, the Company utilized a 12-point credit risk-rating system to manage risk and identify potential problem loans. Risk-ratingIn the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company realigned its credit risk-rating system, transitioning to a 15-point credit risk-rating system. The Company believes that the expansion from the prior 12-point scale provides more refinement in the pass grade categories; new pass grades are 0-10. There are no changes to non-pass categories, which continue to align with regulatory guidelines and are found in ratings: special mention (11), substandard (12), doubtful (13) and loss (14). The Company believes that increasing granularity of the risk rating system allows for more robust portfolio management and increased precision and effectiveness of credit risk identification.
Under both point systems, risk-rating assignments are based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors that are under continual review. Factors include cash flow, collateral coverage, liquidity, leverage, position within the industry, internal controls and management, financial reporting, and other considerations. The risk-rating categories under the new 15-point credit risk-rating system are defined as follows:

0 Risk Rating - Unrated

Certain segments of the portfolios are not rated. These segments include airplane loans, business banking scored loan products, and other commercial loans managed by exception. Loans within this unrated loan segment are monitored by delinquency status; and for lines of credit greater than $100,000 in exposure, an annual review is conducted. The Company supplements performance data with current business credit scores for the business banking portfolio on a quarterly basis. Unrated loans managed outside of airplane loanscommercial and business banking loans are generally restricted to commercial exposure of less than $1 million with a linemillion. Loans

to $350,000. Loans

included in this category have qualification requirements that include a risk rating of 6W10 or better at the time of recommendation for unrated status, acceptable management of deposit accounts, and no known negative changes in management, operations or financial performance. Restricted from this category are lines of credit managed with borrowing base requirements.

For purposes of estimating the allowance for loan losses, unrated loans are considered in the same manner as pass rated loans.

1-6W

1-10 Risk Rating – Pass

Loans with a risk-ratingrisk rating of 1-6W1-10 are classified as “Pass” and are comprised of loans that range from “substantially risk free” which indicates borrowers of unquestioned credit standing, well-established national companies with a very strong financial condition, and loans fully secured by policy conforming cash levels, through “acceptable risk”“low pass” which indicates acceptable rated loans that may be experiencing weak cash flow, impending lease rollover or minor liquidity concerns. The top end of the risk-rating category (6W) includes loans that, although contain the same risk-rating as those with a rating of 6, are being more closely monitored to determine if a downgrade is necessary.

7

11 Risk Rating – Special Mention (Potential Weakness)

Loans to borrowers in this category exhibit potential weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. While potentially weak, no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. Included in this category are borrowers who are performing as agreed, are weak when compared to industry standards, may be experiencing an interim loss and may be in declining industries. An element of asset quality, financial flexibility or management is below average. Management and owners may have limited depth, particularly when operating under strained circumstances. The Company does not consider borrowers within this category as new business prospects. Borrowers rated special mention may find it difficult to obtain alternative financing from traditional bank sources.

8

12 Risk Rating – Substandard (Well-Defined Weakness)

Loans with a risk-rating of 812 exhibit well-defined weaknesses that, if not corrected, may jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. A loan is classified as substandard if it is inadequately protected by the repayment capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged. Specifically, repayment under market rates and terms, or by the requirements under the existing loan documents, is in jeopardy, but no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. There is a possibility that a partial loss of principal and/or interest will occur in the future if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate portfolio of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard. Credits in this category often may have reported a loss in the most recent fiscal year end and are likely to continue to report losses in the interim period, or interim losses are expected to result in a fiscal year-end loss. NonaccrualNon-accrual is possible, but not mandatory, in this class.

9

13 Risk Rating – Doubtful (Loss Probably)

Probable)

Loans classified as doubtful have comparable weaknesses as found in the loans classified as substandard, with the added provision that such weaknesses make collection of the debt in full (based on currently existing facts, conditions and values) highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist such that a partial loss of principal is likely. The probability of loss exceeds 50%,exists, however, because of reasonablyreasonable specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the credit, estimated losses are deferred until a more exact status can be determined. Pending factors may include the sale of the company, a merger, capital injection, new profitable purchase orders, and refinancing plans. Specific reserves will be the amount identified after specific review. NonaccrualNon-accrual is mandatory in this class.

10

14 Risk Rating – Loss

Loans to borrowers in this category are deemed incapable of repayment. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectableuncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loans have no recovery or salvage value, but rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets even though partial recovery may occur in the future. Loans in this category have a recorded investment of $0 at the time of the downgrade.

The credit quality of the commercial loan portfolio is actively monitored and supported by a comprehensive credit approval process; and all large dollar transactions are sent for approval to a committee of seasoned business line and credit professionals. Risk ratings are periodically reviewed and the Company maintains an independent credit risk review function that reports directly to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. Credits that demonstrate significant deterioration in credit quality are transferred to a specialized group of seasoned workoutexperienced officers for individual attention.

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans are included within the unrated category of the commercial and industrial and business banking portfolios in the tabletables above. Commercial and industrial PPP loans and business banking PPP loans amounted to $633.0$366.1 million and $467.2$459.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021 and $568.8 million and $457.4 million respectively, at December 31, 2020. The Company does not have an allowance for loan losses for PPP loans as they are 100% guaranteed by the SBA.

Residential and Consumer Lending Credit Quality

For the Company’s residential and consumer portfolios, the quality of the loan is best indicated by the repayment performance of an individual borrower. Updated appraisals, broker opinions of value and other collateral valuation methods are employed in the residential and consumer portfolios, typically for credits that are deteriorating. Delinquency status is determined using payment performance, while accrual status may be determined using a combination of payment performance, expected borrower viability and collateral value. Delinquent consumer loans are handled by a team of seasoned collection specialists.

Asset Quality

In response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Company has granted loan modifications to allow deferral of payments for borrowers negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Modifications granted to customers allowed for full payment deferrals (principal and interest) or deferral of only principal payments. The balance of loans which underwent a modification and have not yet resumed payment as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $149.8 million and $332.7 million, respectively. The Company defines a modified loan to have resumed payment if it is one month past the modification end date and not more than 30 days past due. These modifications with active deferrals met the criteria of either Section 4013 of the CARES Act or the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) and therefore are not deemed TDRs (as defined herein). Additionally, loans that are performing in accordance with the contractual terms of the modification are not reflected as being

past due and therefore are not impacting non-accrual or delinquency totals as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company continued to accrue interest on these COVID-19 modified loans and evaluated the deferred interest for collectability as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The Company manages its loan portfolio with careful monitoring. As a general rule, loans more than 90 days past due with respect to principal and interest are classified as nonaccrualnon-accrual loans. Exceptions may be made if management believes that collateral held by the Company is clearly sufficient and in full satisfaction of both principal and interest, or the loan is accounted for as a PCIpurchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loan. Therefore, as permitted by banking regulations, certain consumer loans past due 90 days or more may continue to accrue interest. The Company may also use discretion regarding other loans over 90 days delinquent if the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. NonaccrualNon-accrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest are considered nonperformingnon-performing loans.

NonaccrualNon-accrual loans may be returned to an accrual status when principal and interest payments are no longer delinquent, and the risk characteristics of the loan have improved to the extent that there no longer exists a concern as to the collectability of principal and interest. Loans are considered past due based upon the number of days delinquent according to their contractual terms. Specifically, nonaccrual residential loans that have been restructured must perform for a period of six months before being considered for accrual status.

A loan is expected to remain on nonaccrualnon-accrual status until it becomes current with respect to principal and interest, the loan is liquidated, or the loan is determined to be uncollectible and is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

The following is a summary pertaining to the breakdown of the Company’s nonaccrualnon-accrual loans:

In the normal course of business, the Company may become aware of possible credit problems in which borrowers exhibit potential for the inability to comply with the contractual terms of their loans, but which currently do not yet meet the criteria for classification as nonperformingnon-performing loans. However, based upon the Company’s past experiences, some of these loans with potential weaknesses will ultimately be restructured or placed in non-accrual status.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”)

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulty and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured loan. The objective is to aid in the resolution of nonperformingnon-performing loans by modifying the contractual obligation to avoid the possibility of foreclosure.

All TDR loans are considered impaired and therefore are subject to a specific review for impairment loss. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is recorded as a specific loss allocation to each individual loan in the allowance for loan losses. Commercial loans and residential loans that have been classified as TDRs and which subsequently default are reviewed to determine if the loan should be deemed collateral dependent. In such an instance, any shortfall between the value of the collateral and the book value of the loan is determined by measuring the recorded investment in the loan against the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell.

The Company’s policy is to have any TDR loans which are on nonaccrualnon-accrual status prior to being modified remain on nonaccrualnon-accrual status for approximately six months subsequent to being modified before management considers its return to accrual status. If the TDR loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status.

The following table showstables show the TDR loans on accrual and nonaccrualnon-accrual status as of the dates indicated:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 0 amounts were charged-off on TDRs modified in the prior 12 months. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the amounts charged-offthere were $0 and $0.4 million in charge-offs on TDRs modified in the prior 12 months were $0 and $0.4 million, respectively. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 there were no charge-offs on TDR loans modified in the prior 12 months.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans consist of all loans for which management has determined it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

The Company measures impairment of loans using a discounted cash flow method, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company has defined the population of impaired loans to include certain nonaccrualnon-accrual loans, TDR loans, and residential and home equity loans that have been partially charged off.

The estimate of cash flows expected to be collected is regularly re-assessed subsequent to acquisition. A decrease in expected cash flows in subsequent periods may indicate that the loan is impaired which would require the establishment of an allowance for loan losses by a charge to the provision for loan losses. An increase in expected cash flows in subsequent periods serves, first, to reduce any previously established allowance for loan losses by the increase in the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, and results in a recalculation of the amount of accretable yield for the loan. The adjustment of accretable yield due to an increase in expected cash flows is accounted for as a change in estimate. The additional cash flows expected to be collected are reclassified from the nonaccretablenon-accretable difference to the accretable yield, and the amount of periodic accretion is adjusted accordingly over the remaining life of the loans.

Loan Participations

The Company occasionally purchases commercial loan participations.participations, or participates in syndications through the SNC Program. These loan participations meet the same underwriting, credit and portfolio management standards as the Company’s other loans and are applied against the same criteria to determine the allowance for loan losses as other loans. As of both June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company held commercial loan participation interests totaling $1.1 billion and $965.1 million, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

The following table sets forth information regardingEarnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS represents income available to common shareholders divided by the Company’s tax provision and applicable tax ratesweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares (such as stock options) were exercised or converted into additional common shares that would then share in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods indicated:

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $7.2 million and $11.0 million forperiod, plus the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $8.5 million and $20.7 million foreffect of potential dilutive common share equivalents computed using the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in

income tax expense was due primarily to lower pre-tax incometreasury stock method. There were no securities that had a dilutive effect during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared2021, and therefore the weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted EPS are the same. Shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that have not been allocated to employees in accordance with the terms of the ESOP, referred to as “unallocated ESOP shares,” are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Earnings per share data is not applicable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, while investment tax credits and other favorable permanent differences remained relatively constant.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s open tax years for examination by the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) were 2016, 2017 and 2018. The Company’s open tax years for examination by state tax authorities varies by state, but no years prior to 2013 are open. The Company believes that its income tax returnsshares outstanding.

8. Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Other Tax Credit Investments

The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) encourages banks to meet the credit needs of their communities for housing and other purposes, particularly in neighborhoods with low or moderate income. The Company has primarily invested in several separate Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) projects, also referred to as qualified affordable housing projects, which provide the Company with tax credits and operating loss tax benefits over a period of approximately 15 years. Typically, none of the original investment is expected to be repaid. The return on these investments is generally generated through tax credits and tax losses. TheIn addition to LIHTC projects, the Company invests in new markets tax credit projects that qualify for CRA credits and eligible projects that qualify for renewable energy and historic tax credits.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $74.4 million and $59.8 million, respectively, in tax credit investments that were included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

When permissible, the Company accounts for its investments in LIHTC projects using the proportional amortization method, under which it amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statementthat amortization as a component of income tax expense (benefit).expense. The Company’s maximum exposure to lossnet investment in its investments in qualified affordablethe housing projects is limited to its carrying value included in other assets. The Company will continue to use the proportional amortization method on any new investments going forward.

9. Employee Benefits

Conversion of Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Benefit Equalization Plan to Cash Balance Plan Design
Effective November 1, 2020, the Qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan (“Defined Benefit Plan”) and the Non-Qualified Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) sponsored by the Company were amended to convert the plans from a traditional final average earnings plan design to a cash balance plan design. Benefits earned under the final average earnings plan design were frozen at October 31, 2020. Starting November 1, 2020, future benefits are earned under the cash balance plan design. Under the cash balance plan design, hypothetical account balances are established for each participant and pension benefits are generally stated as the lump sum amount in that hypothetical account. Contribution credits equal to a percentage of a participant’s annual compensation (if the participant works at least 1,000 hours during the year) and interest credits equal to the greater of the 30-Year Treasury rate for September preceding the current plan year or 3.5% are added to a participant’s account each year. For employees hired prior to November 1, 2020, annual contribution credits generally increase as the participant remains employed with the Company. Employees hired on and after November 1, 2020 receive annual contribution credits equal to 5% of annual compensation, with no future increases. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, since a cash balance plan is a defined benefit plan, the annual retirement benefit payable at normal retirement (age 65) is an annuity, which is the actuarial equivalent of the participant’s account balance under the cash balance plan design, plus their frozen benefit under the final average earnings plan design. However, under the Defined Benefit Plan, participants may elect, with the consent of their spouses if they are married, to have the benefits distributed as a lump sum rather than an annuity. The lump sum is equal to the sum of the actuarial equivalent of their frozen benefit under the final average earnings plan design, plus their cash balance account. Under the BEP, benefits are generally only payable as a lump sum, which is equal to the sum of the actuarial equivalent of their frozen benefit under the final average earnings plan design, plus their cash balance account.
Pension Plans
The Company provides pension benefits for its employees through membership in the Savings Banks Employees’ Retirement Association. The plan through which benefits are provided is a noncontributory, qualified defined benefit plan. The Company’s annual contribution to the Defined Benefit Plan is based upon standards established by the Pension Protection Act.
33

The contribution is based on an actuarial method intended to provide not only for benefits attributable to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The Defined Benefit Plan has a plan year end of October 31.
The Company has an unfunded Defined Benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“DB SERP”) that provides certain retired and currently employed officers with defined pension benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by U.S. federal tax law. The DB SERP has a plan year end of December 31.
In addition, the Company has an unfunded Benefit Equalization Plan, the aforementioned BEP, to provide retirement benefits to certain employees whose retirement benefits under the qualified pension plan are limited per the Internal Revenue Code. The BEP has a plan year end of October 31.
The Company also has an unfunded Outside Directors’ Retainer Continuance Plan (“ODRCP”) that provides pension benefits to outside directors who retire from service. The ODRCP has a plan year end of December 31. Effective December 31, 2020, the Company closed the ODRCP to new participants and froze benefit accruals for active participants.

Service costs for the Defined Benefit Plan, the BEP, and the DB SERP are recognized within salaries and employee benefits in the statement of income. Service costs for the Outside Directors’ Retainer Continuance PlanODRCP are recognized within professional services in the statement of income. The remaining components of net periodic benefit cost are recognized in other noninterest expense in the statement of income. The Company’s non-service cost expenses for the Defined Benefit Plan and the BEP decreased by $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 and decreased by $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was primarily due to the conversion of the Company's Defined Benefit Plan and BEP from a traditional final average earnings plan design to a cash balance plan design.
In accordance with the Pension Protection Act, the Company was not required to make any contributions to the Defined Benefit Plan for the plan year beginning November 1, 2020, and did not make any contributions to the Defined Benefit Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made contributions forto the Defined Benefit Plan of $32.5 million.

Rabbi Trust Variable Interest Entity
The Company established a rabbi trust to meet its obligations under certain executive non-qualified retirement benefits and deferred compensation plans and to mitigate the expense volatility of the aforementioned retirement plans. The rabbi trust is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as the equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit the trust to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust as it has the power to direct the activities of the rabbi trust that significantly affect the rabbi trust’s economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the rabbi trust that could potentially be significant to the rabbi trust by virtue of its contingent call options on the rabbi trust’s assets in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy. As the primary beneficiary of this VIE, the Company consolidates the rabbi trust investments. In general, the rabbi trust investments and any earnings received thereon are accumulated, reinvested and used exclusively for trust purposes. These rabbi trust investments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, U.S. government agency obligations, equity securities, mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds, and are recorded at fair value in other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value are recorded in noninterest income. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the amount of rabbi trust investments at fair value were $98.9 million and $91.7 million, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and forward commitments to sell loans, all of which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in each particular class of financial instruments.

Substantially all of the Company’s commitments to extend credit, which normally have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. For forward loan sale commitments, the contract or notional amount does not represent exposure to credit loss. The Company does not sell loans with recourse.

The Company has been named a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Set out below are descriptions of significant legal matters involving the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2020.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the Company’sits interest rate risk resulting from the differences in the amount, timing, and duration of known or expected cash receipts and known or expected cash payments. Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the business requirements of its customers (“customer-related positions”) and risk participation agreements entered into as financial guarantees of performance on customer-related interest rate swap derivatives. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not the instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty plus any initial margin collateral posted. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with those counterparties is remote.

Interest Rate Positions

An interest rate swap is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a fixed rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. The Company has enteredmay enter into interest rate swaps in which they payit pays floating and receivereceives fixed interest in order to manage its interest rate risk exposure to the variability in interest cash flows on certain floating-rate commercial loans. The Company hasFor interest rate swaps that effectively convert the floating rate one-month LIBOR interest payments received on the commercial loans to a fixed rate and consequently reduce the Bank’s exposure to variability in short-term interest rates. The Company also has interest rate swaps that are based on overnight indexed swap rates. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and therefore changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects net income.

The following table reflects the Company’s derivative positions as As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019 for2020, the Company does not have any active interest rate swaps which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

Central banks aroundDue to the world, including the Federal Reserve, have commissioned working groups of market participantsphase-out, and official sector representatives with the goal of finding suitable replacements for the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) based on observable market transactions becauseeventual discontinuation, of the probable phase-out of LIBOR. It is expected that aLIBOR, central clearinghouses have begun to transition away from the widespread use of LIBOR to alternative rates will occur overfor valuation purposes. As of October 16, 2020, the course ofCompany changed its valuation methodology to reflect changes made by the next few years. AlthoughChicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), through which the full impact of a transition, including the potential or actual discontinuance of LIBOR publication, remains unclear, this change may have an adverse impact on the value of, return on and trading markets for a broad array ofCompany clears derivative financial products, including any LIBOR-based securities, loans and derivativesinstruments that are includedeligible for clearing. The changes from the CME changed the discounting methodology and interest calculation of cash margin from overnight index swap to secured overnight financing rate (also known as SOFR) for U.S. dollar cleared interest rate swaps. The Company believes that its improvements to its valuation methodology will result in valuations for cleared interest rate swaps that better reflect prices obtainable in the markets in which the Company transacts. The changes in valuation methodology were applied prospectively as a change in accounting estimate and are immaterial to the Company’s financial assetsstatements.

The following table presents the pre-tax impact of terminated cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) for the three and liabilities. A transition away from LIBOR may also require extensive changes to the contracts that govern these LIBOR-based products, as well as the Company’s systemssix months ended June 30, 2021 and processes.

AOCI will be amortized into earnings through January 2023. The Company expects approximately $20.6 million and $10.7 million to be reclassified into interest income from other comprehensive income related to the Company’s cash flow hedges in the next twelve months as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. This reclassification is due to anticipated payments that will be received on the swaps based upon the forward curve as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company expects approximately $12.8$23.1 million to be reclassified into interest income from other comprehensive income related to the Company’s terminated cash flow hedges in the next 12 months as of June 30, 2020. This reclassification is due to the amortization of realized but unrecognized gains from the termination of interest rate swaps during the period ended June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized gain on terminated cash flow hedges is $30.6 million.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s exposure to CME and the fair value of interest rate swap derivatives which qualify as cash flow hedges that contain credit-risk related contingent features that are in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had posted initial-margin collateral in the form of cash and a U.S. Treasury Note, to CME for these derivatives amounting to $18.7 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The cash and U.S. Treasury Note were considered restricted assets and were included in cash and due from banks and in available for sale securities, respectively.

Customer-Related Positions

Interest rate swaps offered to commercial customers do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. These swaps allow the Company to retain variable rate commercial loans while allowing the commercial customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable-to-fixed rate interest rate swap. The Company believes that its exposure to commercial customer derivatives is limited to nonperformance by either the customer or the dealer because these contracts are simultaneously matched at inception with an offsetting dealer transaction.

Risk participation agreements are entered into as financial guarantees of performance on interest rate swap derivatives. The purchased (asset) or sold (liability) guarantee allow the Company to participate-out (fee paid) or participate-in (fee received) the risk associated with certain derivative positions executed with the borrower by the lead bank in a customer-related interest rate swap derivative.

Foreign exchange contracts consist of those offered to commercial customers and those entered into to hedge the Company’s foreign currency risk associated with a foreign-currency loan. Neither qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes. These commercial customer derivatives are offset with matching derivatives with correspondent-bank counterparties in order to minimize foreign exchange rate risk to the Company. Exposure with respect to these derivatives is largely limited to nonperformance by either the customer or the other counterparty. Neither the Company nor the correspondent-bank counterparty are required to post collateral but each has established foreign-currency transaction limits to manage the exposure risk. The Company requires its customers to post collateral to minimize risk exposure.

The Company has agreements with its customer-related interest rate swap derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

Table of Contents

The Company also has agreements with certain of its customer-related interest rate swap derivative correspondent-bank counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

The Company’s exposure related to its customer-related interest rate swap derivative consists of exposure on cleared derivative transactions and exposure on non-cleared derivative transactions.

Cleared derivative transactions are with CME and exposure is settled to market daily, with additional credit exposure related to initial-margin collateral pledged to CME at trade execution. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s exposure to CME for settled variation margin in excess of the customer-related interest rate swap termination values was $0.3$0.5 million, and $1.5less than $0.1 million, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had posted initial-margin collateral in the form of a U.S. Treasury Notenote amounting to $42.2$49.5 million and $27.6$60.4 million, respectively, to CME for these derivatives. The cash and U.S. Treasury Note werenote was considered a restricted assetsasset and werewas included in cash and due from banks and in available for sale securities respectively.

within the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 the fair value of non-clearedall customer-related interest rate swap derivatives that containwith credit-risk related contingent features that arewere in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $51.3totaled $26.1 million and $14.6$42.6 million, respectively. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its non-cleared customer-related interest rate swap derivative correspondent-bank counterparties to the extent that the Company has a liability position with the correspondent-bank counterparties. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had posted collateral in the form of cash amounting to $51.7$35.0 million and $22.2$49.2 million, respectively, which was considered to be a restricted asset and was included in other short-term investments.investments within the Company's consolidated balance sheets. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 20202021 or December 31, 2019,2020, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value. In addition, the Company had cross-default provisions with its commercial customer loan agreements which provide cross-collateralization with the customer loan collateral.

12. Balance Sheet Offsetting

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with upstream financial institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts. However, the Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. The Company nets the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally required to be maintained at dealer banks by the Company is monitored and adjusted as necessary. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, it was determined that no additional collateral would have to be posted to immediately settle these instruments.

13. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Company believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or from Level 2 to Level 3.

41

Table of Contents

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgements regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these financial instruments, which have original maturities of 90 days or less, their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

Trading

Available for Sale Securities

Trading

Available for sale securities consisted of fixed income municipal securities and were recorded at fair value. All fixed incomevalue consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Agency bonds, and state and municipal bonds.
The Company’s U.S. Treasury securities are traded on active markets and therefore these securities were classified as Level 1.
The fair value of U.S. Agency bonds are evaluated using relevant trade data, benchmark quotes and spreads obtained from publicly available trade data, and generated on a price, yield or spread basis as determined by the observed market data. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2 given the use of observable inputs.
The fair value of U.S. government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities were estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2 given the valuationsuse of observable inputs.
The fair value of state and municipal bonds were estimated by a third-party pricing vendor using a valuation matrix with inputs including observable bond interest rate tables, recent transactions, and yield relationships.

Available for Sale Securities

Available for sale securities consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal bonds, and others such as a qualified zone academy bond, and were recorded at fair value.

The Company’s U.S. Treasury securities are traded on active markets and therefore Therefore, these securities were classified as Level 1.

The fair value of other U.S. government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities was estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. These securities were categorized as Level 2.

Municipal bonds were classified as Level 2 forgiven the same reasons described for the trading municipal securities.

The valuation technique for the qualified zone academy bond was a discounted cash flow methodology using market discount rates. The assumptions used included at least one significant model assumption or input that was unobservable, and therefore, this security was classified as Level 3.

use of observable inputs.

Fair value was based on the value of one unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, or estimated transaction costs. The estimated fair value of the Company’s securities available for sale, by type, is disclosed in Note 3.

the Securities footnote.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair

The fair value of loans held for sale, whose carrying amounts approximate fair value, was estimated using the anticipated market price based upon pricing indications provided by investor banks.

These assets were classified as Level 2 given the use of observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of commercial construction, commercial and industrial lines of credit, and certain other consumer loans was estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

For commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, automobile, and consumer home equity loans, fair value was estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans held for sale, whose carrying amounts approximate fair value, the fair value was estimated by the anticipated market price based upon pricing indications provided by investor banks.

The fair value of PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA, approximates the carrying amount.

Loans that are deemed to be impaired were recorded at the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent, or at a carrying value based upon expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s effective interest rate.

42

Loans are classified as Level 3 since the valuation methodology utilizes significant unobservable inputs.
FHLB Stock

The fair value of FHLB stock approximates the carrying amount based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

These assets were classified as Level 2.

Rabbi Trust Investments

Rabbi trust investments consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Governmentgovernment agency obligations, equity securities, mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds, and were recorded at fair value and included in other assets. The purpose of these rabbi trust investments is to fund certain executive non-qualified retirement benefits and deferred compensation.

The fair value of other U.S. government agency obligations was estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. These securities were categorized as Level 2.2 given the use of observable inputs. The equity securities, mutual funds and other exchange-traded funds were valued based on quoted prices from the market. The equities, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds traded in an active market were categorized as Level 1.1 as they were valued based upon quoted prices from the market. Mutual funds at net asset value amounted to $46.4$54.5 million at June 30, 20202021 and $16.2$53.9 million at December 31, 2019.2020. There were no0 redemption restrictions on these mutual funds at the end of any period presented.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The fair value of bank-owned life insurance was based upon quotations received from bank-owned life insurance dealers.

These assets were classified as Level 2 given the use of observable inputs.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, was equal to their carrying amount. The fair value of time deposits was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using current market interest rates.

Deposits were classified as Level 2 given the use of observable market inputs.

The fair value estimates of deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the wholesale market (core deposit intangibles).

Other Borrowed Funds

For other borrowed funds that mature in 90 days or less, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value. For borrowed funds that mature in more than 90 days, the fair value was based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered in the market.

FHLB Advances

The fair value of FHLB advances was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on instruments with similar remaining maturities.

FHLB advances were classified as Level 2.

Escrow Deposits of Borrowers

The fair value of escrow deposits of borrowers, which have no stated maturity, approximates the carrying amount.

Escrow deposits of borrowers were classified as Level 2.

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the interest rate swaps. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period of maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.volatility. In addition, for customer-related interest rate swaps, the analysis reflects a credit valuation adjustment to reflect the Company’s own nonperformancenon-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformancenon-performance risk in the fair value measurements. The majority of inputs used to value its interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but the credit valuation adjustments associated with the interest rate swaps utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the impact of
43

Table of Contents

the Level 3 inputs on the overall valuation of the interest rate swaps was deemed insignificant to the overall valuation. As a result, the interest rate swaps were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Risk Participations

The fair value of risk participations was determined based upon the total expected exposure of the derivative which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using market-based inputs and waswere therefore categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value also included a credit valuation adjustment which evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties by considering factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparties, its net exposures, the remaining contractual life, as well as the amount of collateral securing the position. The change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts were based upon the remaining expiration period of the contracts and bid quotations received from foreign exchange contract dealers and were categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Collateral-dependent impaired loans whose fair value is based upon appraisals$11,036 $$11,036 
For the valuation of the other real estate owned and collateral-dependent impaired loans, the Company relies primarily on third-party valuation information from certified appraisers and values are generally based upon recent appraisals of the underlying collateral, brokers’ opinions based upon recent sales of comparable properties, estimated equipment auction or liquidation values, income capitalization, or a combination of income capitalization and comparable sales. Depending on the type of underlying collateral, valuations may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of these possible adjustments may vary.

Impaired loans in which thea reserve was established based upon expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate are not deemed to be measured at fair value.

14. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard under ASC 606 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.

Revenue recognition remained substantially unchanged following adoption of ASC 606 and, therefore, there were no material changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at or for the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of adopting the new guidance.

The Company derives a portion of its noninterest income from contracts with customers as such, revenuewithin the scope of ASC, Revenue from such arrangementsContracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company measures revenue and timing of recognition by applying the following five steps:

1.

Identify the contract(s) with the customers

2.

Identify the performance obligations

3.

Determine the transaction price

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

5.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

1.Identify the contract(s) with the customers
2.Identify the performance obligations
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

Performance obligations

The Company’s performance obligations are generally satisfied either at a point in time or over time, as services are rendered. Unsatisfied performance obligations at the report date are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Because the Company’s expectation of the ultimate profit-sharing revenue amounts to be earned can vary from period to period, the Company does not recognize this revenue until it has concluded that, based on all the facts and information available, it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.

17. Subsequent Events

Plan of Reorganization and Conversion

On June 12, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Company adopted a Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will reorganize from a mutual holding company into a publicly traded stock form of organization. In connection with the reorganization, the Company will transfer to Eastern Bankshares, Inc., a recently formed Massachusetts corporation, 100% of the Bank’s common stock, and immediately thereafter the Company will merge into Eastern Bankshares, Inc. Pursuant to the Plan, Eastern Bankshares, Inc. will issue shares of common stock in a public offering. Eastern Bankshares, Inc. will offer 100% of its outstanding common stock to the Company’s eligible depositors, the employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) and certain other persons. Eastern Bankshares, Inc. will determine the range of the offering value and the number of shares of common stock to be issued based upon an independent appraiser’s valuation. The stock will be priced at $10.00 per share. In addition, the Boards of Directors of Eastern Bankshares, Inc. and the Company have adopted an ESOP, which is permitted to subscribe for up to 8% of the common stock to be outstanding following the completion of the reorganization and the offering. The Plan provides for Eastern Bankshares, Inc. to donate to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”) immediately after the offering a number of authorized but previously unissued shares of Eastern Bankshares, Inc. common stock equal to 4% of the number of shares of common stock that will be issued and outstanding immediately after the offering (including the shares donated to the Foundation) (the “Stock Donation”).

On August 6, 2020, the corporators of the Company separately approved the Plan and the Stock Donation. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approved the application of Eastern Bankshares, Inc. to become a bank holding company upon the completion of the conversion, although the approval of the Federal Reserve Board is required before Eastern Bankshares, Inc. can consummate the offering. The Company has filed an application with respect to the offering with the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks authorized Eastern Bankshares, Inc. to commence the offering. However, final regulatory approval is required before Eastern Bankshares, Inc. can consummate the offering. The subscription offering commenced on August 18, 2020 and expired on September 16, 2020. The Company expects that the offering will close and the conversion will be completed in October 2020.

The Plan provides that eligible account holders will receive an interest in a liquidation account maintained by Eastern Bankshares, Inc. in an amount equal to (i) the Company’s ownership interest in the Bank’s total shareholders’ equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial position included in the latest prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the offering, plus (ii) the value of the net assets of the Company as of the date of the latest statement of financial position of the Company prior to the consummation of the conversion (excluding its ownership of the Bank). The Plan also provides for the establishment of a parallel liquidation account maintained at the Bank to support Eastern Bankshares, Inc.’s liquidation account in the event Eastern Bankshares, Inc. does not have sufficient assets to fund its obligations under Eastern Bankshares, Inc.’s liquidation account. Eastern Bankshares, Inc. and the Bank will hold the liquidation accounts for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain deposits in the Bank after the conversion. Following the completion of the offering, Eastern Bankshares, Inc. will not be permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock if the shareholders’ equity of Eastern Bankshares, Inc. would be reduced below the amount of the liquidation account. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation accounts. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held.

Costs associated with the stock offering have been deferred and will be deducted from the proceeds of the shares sold in the stock issuance. If the stock offering is not completed, all costs will be charged to expense. At June 30, 2020, approximately $4.5 million of stock offering costs had been incurred and deferred.

Overview

We are a bank holding company, and our principal subsidiary, Eastern Bank, is a Massachusetts-chartered bank that has served the banking needs of our customers since 1818. Our business philosophy is to operate as a diversified financial services enterprise providing a broad array of banking and other financial services primarily to retail, commercial and small business customers. We had total assets of $14.0$17.0 billion and $11.6$16.0 billion at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. We are subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”),FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

We manage our business under two business segments: our banking business, which contributed $125.7$126.2 million, or 84.0%83.9%, of our total income (interest(pre-provision net interest and dividend income and noninterest income) for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 and contributed $238.7$253.2 million, or 82.6%82.8%, of our total income for the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, and our insurance agency business, which contributed $23.9$24.2 million, or 16.0%16.1%, of our total income for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 and $50.4$52.5 million, or 17.4%17.2%, of our total income for the six months ended June 30, 2020.2021. Our banking business consists of a full range of banking, lending (commercial, residential and consumer), savings and small business offerings, including our wealth management and trust operations that we conduct through our Eastern Wealth Management division.

Our insurance agency business consists of insurance-related activities, acting as an independent agent in offering commercial, personal and employee benefits insurance products to individual and commercial clients.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 computed in accordance with GAAP was $34.8 million and $82.5 million, respectively, as compared to $29.9 million and $38.3 million for the three and six months ended
56

June 30, 2020, respectively, representing an increase of 16.6% and 115.4%, respectively. This increase was largely driven by a decrease in the provision for the allowance for loan losses of $11.9 million and $41.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which is attributable to greater prior period provisions that resulted from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bank’s borrowers during such periods, and current period releases of provisions for loans losses of $3.3 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. These items are discussed further in the “Results of Operations” section below. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 included items that our management considers non-core, which management excludes for purposes of assessing our operating net income, a non-GAAP financial measure. Operating net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $37.1 million and $83.6 million compared to operating net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 of $27.3 million and $38.2 million, respectively, representing a respective increase of 35.9% and increase of 119.2%. These increases were largely driven by the aforementioned change in the provision for the allowance for loan losses. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of operating net income to GAAP net income.
Banking Business

Our banking business offers a range of commercial, retail, wealth management and banking services, and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public, including municipalities, and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, to originate loans in a variety of sectors and to invest in securities. The financial condition and results of operations of our banking business depend primarily on (i) attracting and retaining low cost, stable deposits, (ii) using those deposits to originate and acquire loans and earn net interest income and (iii) operating expenses incurred.

Lending Activities

We use funds obtained from deposits, as well as funds obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Boston (“FHLBB”)FHLBB advances and Federalfederal funds, primarily to originate loans and to invest in securities. Our lending focuses on the following categories of loans:

Commercial Lending

Commercial and industrial: Loans in this category consist of revolving and term loans extended to businesses and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital, facilitating equipment purchases and facilitating acquisitions. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total commercial and industrial loans of $2.3 billion and $1.6 billion, representing 22.7% and 18.3%, respectively, of our total loans. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results

consistent with those projected at origination. Our primary focus for commercial and industrial loans is middle-market companies located in the markets we serve. In addition, we participate in the syndicated loan market and the Shared National Credit Program (“SNC Program”). As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our SNC Program portfolio totaled $514.5 million and $419.0 million, or 22.6%% and 25.5%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio, and 41.0% and 47.0%, respectively, of our SNC Program portfolio were loans to borrowers headquartered in our primary lending market. Our commercial and industrial portfolio also includes our Asset Based Lending Portfolio (“ABL Portfolio”). As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our ABL Portfolio totaled $159.1 million and $163.0 million, or 7.0% and 9.9%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio.

Commercial real estate: Loans in this category include mortgage loans on commercial real estate, both investment and owner occupied. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total commercial real estate loans of $3.6 billion and $3.5 billion, representing 35.8% and 39.3%, respectively, of our total loans. Property types financed include office, industrial, multi-family, affordable housing, retail, hotel and other types of properties. Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. The primary repayment sources include operating income generated by the real estate, permanent debt refinancing and/or the sale of the real estate.

Commercial construction: Loans in this category include construction project financing and are comprised of commercial real estate, business banking and residential loans for the purpose of constructing and developing real estate. Substantially all of our commercial construction portfolio is in commercial real estate. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total commercial construction loans of $282.2 million and $273.8 million, representing 2.8% and 3.0%, respectively, of our total loans.

Business banking: Loans in this category are comprised of loans to small businesses with exposures of under $ 1 million and small investment real estate projects with exposures of under $3 million. These loans are separate and distinct from our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios described above due to the size of the loans. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total business banking loans of $1.2 billion and $771.5 million, respectively, representing 12.3% and 8.6% of our total loans for each period, respectively. In this category, commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $676.2 million and $558.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020, and $229.0 million and $542.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. Business banking originations include traditionally underwritten loans as well as partially automated scored loans. Our proprietary decision matrix, which includes a number of quantitative factors including, but not limited to, a guarantor’s credit score, industry risk, and time in business, is used to determine whether to make business banking loans. We also engage in Small Business Association (“SBA”) lending. SBA guarantees reduce our risk of loss when default occurs and are considered a credit enhancement to the loan structure. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we originated $1.1 billion of loans to approximately 8,100 borrowers under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as described in further detail elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Commercial and industrial: Loans in this category consist of revolving and term loans extended to businesses and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital, facilitating equipment purchases and facilitating acquisitions. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total commercial and industrial loans of $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion, representing 18.1% and 20.6%, respectively, of our total loans. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at origination. Our primary focus for commercial and industrial loans is middle-market companies located in the markets we serve. In addition, we participate in the syndicated loan market and the SNC Program. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our SNC Program portfolio totaled $374.4 million and $425.1 million, or 21.5% and 21.3%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio, and 42.6% and 46.4%, respectively, of our SNC Program portfolio were loans to borrowers headquartered in our primary lending market. Our commercial and industrial portfolio also includes our Asset Based Lending Portfolio (“ABL Portfolio”). As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our ABL Portfolio totaled $141.6 million and $134.5 million, or 8.1% and 6.7%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio. Our commercial and industrial portfolio also includes a portion of our PPP loans. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of PPP loans included in our commercial and industrial portfolio was $366.1 million and $568.8 million, respectively.

Commercial real estate: Loans in this category include mortgage loans on commercial real estate, both investment and owner occupied. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total commercial real estate loans of $3.8 billion and $3.6 billion, representing 39.4% and 36.8%, respectively, of our total loans. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, owner occupied loans totaled $713.5 million and $694.6 million, representing 18.9% and 19.4%, respectively, of our commercial real estate loans. Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. The primary repayment sources include operating income generated by the real estate, permanent debt refinancing and/or the sale of the real estate.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total commercial construction loans of $237.9 million and $305.7 million, representing 2.5% and 3.1%, respectively, of our total loans.
Business banking: Loans in this category are comprised of loans to small businesses with exposures of under $1 million and small investment real estate projects with exposures of under $3 million. These loans are separate and distinct from our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios described above due to the size of the loans. As of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total business banking loans of $1.3 billion representing 14.0% and 13.8% of our total loans for each period end, respectively. In this category, commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $649.3 million and $690.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2021, and $675.1 million and $664.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. Business banking originations include traditionally underwritten loans as well as partially automated scored loans. Our proprietary decision matrix, which includes a number of quantitative factors including, but not limited to, a guarantor’s credit score, industry risk, and time in business, is used to determine whether to make business banking loans. We also engage in SBA lending. SBA guarantees reduce our risk of loss when default occurs and are considered a credit enhancement to the loan structure. Our business banking portfolio also includes a portion of our PPP loans which are included in the aforementioned commercial and industrial total. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of PPP loans included in our business banking portfolio was $459.7 million and $457.4 million, respectively.
Residential Lending

Residential real estate: Loans in this category consist of mortgage loans on residential real estate. As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total residential loans of $1.4 billion, representing 14.0% and 15.9%, respectively, of our total loans. Underwriting considerations include, among others, income sources and their reliability, willingness to repay as evidenced by credit repayment history, financial resources including cash reserves and the value of the collateral. We maintain policy standards for minimum credit score and cash reserves and maximum loan to value consistent with a “prime” portfolio. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on residential dwellings. We do not originate or purchase sub-prime or other high-risk loans. Residential loans are originated either for sale to investors or to retain in our loan portfolio. Decisions about whether to sell or retain residential loans are made based on the interest rate characteristics, pricing for loans in the secondary mortgage market, competitive factors and our capital needs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019, residential real estate mortgage originations were $256.9 million, $380.3 million and $443.0 million, respectively, of which $130.9 million, $201.4 million and $209.0 million, respectively, were sold on the secondary markets. We generally do not continue to service residential loans that we sell in the secondary market.

Residential real estate: Loans in this category consist of mortgage loans on residential real estate. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had total residential loans of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, representing 15.2% and 14.1%, respectively, of our total loans. Underwriting considerations include, among others, income sources and their reliability, willingness to repay as evidenced by credit repayment history, financial resources including cash reserves and the value of the collateral. We maintain policy standards for minimum credit scores and cash reserves and maximum loan to value consistent with a “prime” portfolio. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on residential dwellings. We do not originate or purchase sub-prime or other high-risk loans. Residential loans are originated either for sale to investors or to retain in our loan portfolio.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, residential real estate mortgage originations were $236.5 million and $496.6 million, respectively, of which $46.1 million and $103.3 million, respectively, were sold on the secondary markets.

Other Acquisitions
During the short-termthree and long-term economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic to our customers will continue to be significant, and that the continuing health and safety concerns relating to the ongoing pandemic will change the way we conduct our business and interact with our customers. Consistent with our philosophy of seeking to be a source of economic strength to our communities, we have taken a broad range of steps to help our colleagues, our borrowers and our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Colleagues. For our colleagues, we have enabled more than half of our employees to work remotely and we are providing premium pay for those colleagues who travel to our workplaces to serve in customer-facing positions or other positions that require them to work on-site. We have taken significant measures to ensure the health of our colleagues who must work in our branches, including promoting online and mobile banking and automatic teller machine/interactive teller machine transactions in an effort to limit in-branch transactions and limiting access to lobbies in branches with drive-through banking.

Our Borrowers. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily modified our practices with respect to the collection of delinquent loans to assist our customers during this difficult economic time, and during the threesix months ended June 30, 2020,2021, Eastern Insurance Group completed two insurance agency acquisitions. The aggregate purchase price and goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisitions were not material.

Outlook and Trends
Century Acquisition
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we originated $1.1 billionincurred and recorded merger and acquisition costs related to the proposed Century acquisition of PPP loans.

For our retail customers, we suspended all collection of overdue payments beginning March 16, 2020, including residential property foreclosure$3.5 million and related property sales. We resumed collection activities with respect to delinquent consumer loans beginning in late July 2020.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans
We have not deferred our recognition of interest income with respect to loans subject to modifications.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we are unable to reasonably estimate the aggregate amount of loans that will likely become delinquent after the respective deferral period. The following table shows certain data, as of June 30, 2020, related to loans to our borrowersa participating lender in the industry categories that we believe will likely experienceSBA’s Paycheck Protection Program. We concluded PPP loan originations during the most adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans included in the table that had been modified as of June 30, 2020 represented approximately 28.9% of our aggregate outstanding loan balances to all borrowers in those categories as of June 30, 2020. However, the table does not include all loans that had been modified on or before June 30, 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we originated approximately 6,600 PPP loans totaling $543.2 million. These loans have a maturity of five years. Fees received from the SBA and direct loan origination costs are being deferred over the five-year loan term.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we received $37.1 million in fees from the SBA and deferred $4.6 million in direct loan origination costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, certain 2020 originations were modified and we received a nominal amount of additional fees from the SBA.

During March 2020, the Federal Reserve took multiple steps to lower interest rates and reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to between 0.0% and 0.25%, compared to the previous target of between 1.00% and 1.25%. These interest rate reductions, combined with the decline in longer term rates, will lower our net interest income over time from the levels we experienced in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our loan loss provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $8.6 million compared to $28.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. We experienced negative migrations in our loan risk ratings in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, although the extent of negative migrations was less than we experienced in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. We expect our loan loss provision to be greater in the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to comparable prior periods, as the positive impacts of the modifications and PPP loans wane. The economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are significant, and the timing and pace of the economic recovery both locally and nationally will determine the severity and timing of our future loan losses.


Our Communities. To continue providing critical banking services in underbanked inner-city communities served by branches without drive-through banking capabilities, we have committed to remaining open in these communities to ensure our customers continue to have a place to bank. To further support our communities, the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation has directed approximately $8 million through June 30, 2020 in charitable donations to help address food, shelter, small business and housing stability, particularly for vulnerable populations, as well as providing help to public health organizations fighting to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Measures

We present certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are usedmanagement uses to evaluate our performance and which exclude the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments that we believe are unrelated to our core business and are therefore not necessarily indicative of our current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility for investors into our core businesses andas well as underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items.

items in the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

There are items in our financial statements that impact our results thatbut which we believe are unrelated to our core business. Therefore,Accordingly, we present operating net operating earnings,income, noninterest income on an operating basis, noninterest expense on an operating basis, total operating incomerevenue, operating earnings per share, and the operating efficiency ratio, on an operating basis, each of which excludes the impact of thesuch items that we do not believe are related to our core business asbecause we believe excluding these items providessuch exclusion can provide greater visibility into our core business and underlying trends. ItemsSuch items that we do not consider to be core to our business include (i) income and expenses from investments held in rabbi trusts, (ii) gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale, net, (iii) gains and losses on the sale of other assets, (iv) rabbi trust employee benefitbenefits, (v) impairment charges on tax credit investments and (v)associated tax credit benefits, (vi) expenses indirectly associated with our initial public offering (“IPO”), (vii) other real estate owned (“OREO”) gains, (viii) merger and acquisition expenses, (ix) the stock donation to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation (now known as the Eastern Bank Foundation, or the “Foundation”) in connection with our mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO, and (x) settlement of putative consumer class action litigation matters related to overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees, and associated settlement expenses.

There were no OREO gains or stock donations to the Foundation during the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We also present tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible assets, the ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, and tangible equity to tangible assets ratios,book value per share, each of which excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, as we believe these financial measures provide investors with the ability to further assess our performance, identify trends in our core business and provide a comparison of our capital adequacy to other companies. We have included information on thesethe tangible ratios because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by management to assess performance and identify trends.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to GAAP net income, or as an indication of our cash flows from operating activities, a measure of our liquidity or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. An item which we consider to be noncorenon-core and exclude when computing these non-GAAP financial measures can be of substantial importance to our results for any particular period. In addition, our methodology for calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar performance measures and, accordingly, our reported non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the same or similar performance measures reported by other companies.

The following table summarizes the impact of noncorenon-core items recorded for the time periods indicated below and reconciles them to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Securities

Our current investment policy authorizes us to invest in various types of investment securities and liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate notes, asset-backed securities and municipal securities. We do not engage in any investment hedging activities or trading activities, nor do we purchase any high-risk investment products. We typically invest in the following types of securities:

U.S. Governmentgovernment securities: At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our U.S. government securities consisted of U.S. Agency bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. We maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity

purposes, at zero risk weighting for capital purposes, and as collateral for interest rate derivative positions. At June 30, 2020U.S. Agency bonds include securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHLB, and December 31, 2019, our U.S. Government securities consisted solely of U.S. Treasury securities.

the Federal Farm Credit Bureau.

Mortgage-backed securities:We invest in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. We have not purchased any privately-issued mortgage-backed securities. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve a positive interest rate spread with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or acceleration of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. We periodically review current prepayment speeds to determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

State and municipal securities:We invest in fixed rate investment grade bonds issued primarily by municipalities in our local communities within Massachusetts and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The market value of these securities may be affected by call options, long dated maturities, general market liquidity and credit factors.

The Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for approving and overseeing our investment policy, which it reviews at least annually. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on the safety of the investment, liquidity requirements, potential returns and market risk considerations.

The following table shows the fair value of our securities by investment category as of the dates indicated:

The $9.8 million increase in our retail portfolio was primarily a result of an increase of $86.5 million in residential real estate loans during the six months ended June 30, 2021 which was partially offset by a decrease in our other consumer and consumer home equity portfolios of $43.4 million and $33.3 million, respectively.

We believe that our commercial loan portfolio composition is relatively diversified in terms of industry sectors, property types and various lending specialties, and is concentrated in the New England geographical area, with 88.5%90.7% of our loans in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as of June 30, 2020.

Asset quality. We continually monitor the asset quality of our loan portfolio utilizing portfolio scorecards and various credit quality indicators. Based on this process, loans meeting certain criteria are categorized as delinquent, impaired, or nonperformingnon-performing and further assessed to determine if nonaccrualnon-accrual status is appropriate.

For the commercial portfolio, which includes our commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and commercial construction and business banking loans, we monitor credit quality using a 12-point commercial risk-rating system is utilized,risk rating scale, which assigns a risk-grade to each borrower based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a commercial loan transaction. Effective December 2020, management implemented an enhanced loan risk rating methodology based on a 15-point scale and adopted new risk rating scorecard tools. The rating scale expanded from the prior 12-point scale to provide more refinement in the pass grade categories; new pass grades are 0-10. There are no changes to non-pass categories, which continue to align with regulatory guidelines and are found in ratings: special mention (11), substandard (12), doubtful (13) and loss (14).
Risk rating assignment is determined using one of 14 separate scorecards developed for distinctive portfolio segments based on common attributes. Key factors includeinclude: industry and market conditions, position within the industry, earnings trends, operating cash flow, asset/liability values, debt capacity, guarantor strength, management and controls, financial reporting, collateral and other considerations. The new risk rating categories are as follows: unrated (0), pass (1-6W), special mention (7), substandard (8), doubtful (9)methodology, inclusive of the expanded grade levels and loss (10).

the scorecard tools, has increased, and is expected to continue to increase, the granularity and distribution of risk rating assignment with more precision and effectiveness; provide customized and enhanced templates to incorporate more risk factors and attributes applicable to loan and collateral types; increase precision and effectiveness of credit risk identification; and provide a foundation for enhanced reporting, including migration of risk rating analysis.

Special mention, substandard and doubtful loans totaled 8.9%6.8% and 2.6%7.7% of total commercial loans outstanding at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. This increasedecrease was driven by an increaserisk rating upgrades in the special mention category, due to the downgradingconstruction and commercial and industrial portfolios.

Our philosophy toward managing our loan portfolios is predicated upon careful monitoring, which stresses early detection and response to delinquent and default situations. We seek to make arrangements to resolve any delinquent or default situation over the shortest possible time frame.

The delinquency rate of our total loan portfolio increaseddecreased to 0.84%0.42% at June 30, 20202021 from 0.49% at December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in delinquencies in our (i) residential real estate portfolio, (ii) other consumer portfolio, (iii) consumer home equity portfolio and (iv) business banking portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in our commercial and industrial portfolio.

As a general rule, loans more than 90 days past due with respect to principal or interest are classified as non-accrual loans. However, based on our assessment of collateral and/or payment prospects, certain loans that are more than 90 days past due may be kept on an accruing status. Income accruals are suspended on all non-accrual loans and all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against current income. A loan is expected to remain on non-accrual status until it becomes current with respect to principal and interest, the loan is liquidated, or the loan is determined to be uncollectible and is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) are comprised of nonperforming loans (“NPLs”), other real estate owned (“OREO”)OREO and nonperforming securities. NPLs consist of nonaccrualnon-accrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest. OREO consists of real estate properties, which primarily serve as collateral to secure our loans, that we control due to foreclosure. These properties are recorded at the lowerforeclosure or acceptance of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell on the date we obtain control.

The gross interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of those loans if they had been performing amounted to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”)

In the course of resolving NPLs, we may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. We attempt to work-out alternative payment schedules with the borrowers in order to avoid foreclosure actions. We review each loan that is modified to identify whether a TDR has occurred. TDRs involve situations in which, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. As noted previously, loan modifications made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic met the criteria of either Section 4013 of the CARES Act or the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) and therefore are not deemed TDRs.
All TDR loans are considered impaired and therefore are subject to a specific review for impairment loss. The impairment analysis discounts the present value of the anticipated cash flows by the loan’s contractual rate of interest in effect prior to the loan’s modification or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is recorded as a specific reserve to each individual loan in the allowance for loan losses. Commercial loans (commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, and business banking) and residential loans that have been classified as TDRs and which subsequently default are reviewed to determine if the loan should be deemed collateral dependent.
TDR loans modified during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $2.8$0.8 million (post modification balance). There was one and $2.8 million, respectively. The overall decrease in TDR loans modified during the aforementioned periods consisted of a decrease of $1.4 million in commercial loan withTDR modifications and a balancedecrease of $1.3$0.7 million in consumer loan

TDR modifications. Two loans totaling $0.5 million were modified during the preceding 12 months, which subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2021. One loan totaling $1.3 million was modified during the 12 months ended June 30, 2020, which subsequently defaulted during six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in TDR
It is our policy to have any restructured loans, was driven by $1.8 million in commercial loans and $1.0 million in consumer loans.

Purchase credit impaired (“PCI”)which are on non-accrual status prior to being modified, remain on non-accrual status for approximately six months subsequent to being modified before we consider its return to accrual status. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, we review it to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status.

PCI loans are loans we acquired that have shown evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and, therefore, it was deemed unlikely that all contractually required payments would be collected upon the acquisition date. We consider factors such as payment history, collateral values and accrual status when determining whether there was evidence of deterioration at the acquisition date. The carrying value and prospective income recognition of PCI loans are predicated on future cash flows expected to be collected. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 the carrying amount of PCI loans was $12.4$4.5 million and $13.5$9.3 million, respectively.

In the normal course of business, we become aware of possible credit problems in which borrowers exhibit potential for the inability to comply with the contractual terms of their loans, but which currently do not yet meet the criteria for classification as NPLs. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we reviewed all of our credit exposures in industries that were expected to experience significant problems due to the pandemic and resulting economic contraction. As part of that review, we downgraded our hotel loans, restaurant loans and other loans that we expected to have associated challenges inas a result of the current economic environment.impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans were neither delinquent nor on non-accrual status. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, our potential problem loans (including these COVID-19-related loans), or loans with potential weaknesses that were not included in the non-accrual loans or in the loans 90 days or more past due categories, totaled $660.6$492.1 million and $157.3$563.3 million, respectively.

COVID-19 Modifications. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented loan modification programs for our borrowers that allowed for either full payment deferrals (both interest and principal) or deferral of principal only. These modifications met the criteria of either Section 4013 of the CARES Act or the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) and therefore are not deemed TDRs. We have deemed these modified loans “COVID-19 modifications.”
The Appropriations Act, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, extends certain expiring tax provisions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and provides additional emergency relief to individuals and businesses. Included within the provisions of the Appropriations Act is the extension of Section 4013 of the CARES Act to January 1, 2022. As such, we intend to apply CARES Act TDR relief to any qualifying loan modifications executed during the allowable time period.
The following table presents the balance of loans that received a COVID-19 modification and have not yet resumed repayment as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

As of June 30, 2021, we believe loans to our borrowers in retail, restaurant, and hotel industry categories represent those which have experienced and will likely continue to experience the most adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate outstanding loan balance of loans to our borrowers in retail, restaurant, and hotel industry categories was $477.5 million, $191.2 million and $169.6 million, respectively, representing 5.0%, 2.0% and 1.8% of total loans, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the percentage of loans to our borrowers in retail, restaurant, and hotel industry categories that we modified primarily due to the effects on borrowers of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic slowdown beginning in late March 2020 were 0.9%, 9.9% and 52.6%, respectively.
Allowance for loan losses.Due to our emerging growth company status under the JOBS Act, we still follow the incurred loss allowance GAAP accounting model. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—We may be required to

increase our allowance for loan losses as a result of our adoption as of January 1, 2022 of the new accounting standard for determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K.
For the purpose of estimating theour allowance for loan losses, we segregate the loan portfolio into the homogenous loan pools that possess unique risk characteristics such as loan purpose, repayment source, and collateral that are considered when determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses for each category.

While we use available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions or subtractions to/from the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in NPLs, changes in economic conditions, or other reasons. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of our examination process, periodically assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to assess whether the allowance for loan losses was determined in accordance with GAAP and applicable guidance.
We perform an evaluation of our allowance for loan losses on a regular basis (at least quarterly), and establish the allowance for loan losses based upon an evaluation of our loan categories, as each possess unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses, including:
estimated probable loss in all impaired loans in each category;
known increases in concentrations within each category;
certain higher risk classes of loans, or pledged collateral;
historical loan loss experience within each category;
results of any independent review and evaluation of the category’s credit quality;
trends in volume, maturity and composition of each category;
volume and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals;
national and local economic conditions and downturns in specific local industries;
corporate goals and objectives;
expertise of our lending staff;
lending policy and practices; and
current and forecasted banking industry conditions, as well as the regulatory environment.
Loans are periodically evaluated using changes in asset quality, historical losses, and other loss allocation factors, which form our basis for estimating incurred losses. For risk rated loans, our risk-rating system takes into consideration a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, such as the borrower’s financial capacity, cash flow, liquidity, leverage, adequacy of collateral, tangible net worth, management team, industry, sales and supplier concentration, credit history, additional support and the impact of outside factors on repayment ability. Homogenous populations of loans that are not risk rated loans, are analyzed by loan category, taking into account delinquency ratios and historical loss experience.
The allowance for loan losses increasedis allocated to loan categories using both a formula-based approach and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment. We use a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of credit loss incurred in the loan portfolio. Under our current methodology, the allowance for loan losses contains specific, general and other components.
The specific component consists of reserves for impaired loans (defined as those where we determine it is probable we will not collect all payments when due, typically classified as either doubtful or substandard). All commercial, residential and consumer loan portfolios are periodically reviewed to identify the loans with deteriorating performance. The reports used to identify those loans include, but are not limited to, delinquency reports, risk rating migration (for risk rated loans), asset quality reports, watch loan list and other credit risk management reports. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement will be based on the present value of expected future cash flows, except for collateral-dependent loans, where the impairment is based on the fair value of the collateral.
The general loss reserves methodology, which is applied to categories of loans with similar characteristics, covers all non-impaired loans and is based on our portfolio’s segment historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The general loss reserve methodology considers multiple qualitative factors that may impact the loss experience during the incurred loss horizon period, including internal infrastructure factors, external macroeconomic factors, internal credit quality factors and external industry data, tailored to the specific loan category.
For additional discussion of our risk rating methodology, see Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The allowance for loan losses decreased by $34.3$7.4 million, or 41.7%6.5%, to $116.6$105.6 million, or 1.17%1.10% of total loans, at June 30, 20202021 from $82.3$113.0 million, or 0.92%1.16% of total loans at December 31, 2019.2020. The increasedecrease in the allowance for loan losses

To determine if a loan should be charged-off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed. Possible sources of repayment include the potential for future cash flows, liquidation of the collateral and the strength of co-makers or guarantors. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged-off against the allowance for loan losses and any recoveries of such previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, we charge off the amount of any confirmed loan loss in the period when the loans, or portions of loans, are deemed uncollectible. For troubled, collateral-dependent loans, loss confirming events may include an appraisal or other valuation that reflects a shortfall between the value of the collateral and the carrying value of the loan or receivable, or a deficiency balance following the sale of the collateral.
For additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock

The FHLBB is a cooperative that provides services to its member banking institutions. The primary reason for our membership in the FHLBB is to gain access to a reliable source of wholesale funding and as a tool to manage interest rate risk. The purchase of stock in the FHLB is a requirement for a member to gain access to funding. We purchase and/or are subject to redemption of FHLBB stock proportional to the volume of funding received and view the holdings as a necessary long-term investment for the purpose of balance sheet liquidity and not for investment return.
We held an investment in the FHLBB of $8.8$10.6 million and $9.0$8.8 million at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets were $376.3$380.4 million and $377.7$376.5 million at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The decreaseincrease in goodwill and other intangibles assets was due to the amortizationpurchase of definite- lived intangiblestwo insurance agencies during the six months ended June 30, 2020.2021. We did not record any impairment to our goodwill or other intangible assets atduring the six months ended June 30, 2020.2021. We will continue to assess our goodwill and other intangible assets to determine if impairments are necessary during the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020 and beyond as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities

Deposits originating within the markets we serve continue to be our primary source of funding our earning assets. We have been able to compete effectively for deposits in our primary market areas. The distribution and market share of deposits by type of deposit and by type of depositor are important considerations in our assessment of the stability of our fund sources and our access to additional funds. Furthermore, we shift the mix and maturity of the deposits depending on economic conditions and loan and investment policies in an attempt, within set policies, to minimize cost and maximize net interest margin. We do not rely upon, and in recent years have not obtained, deposit funding through brokered deposits.

Borrowings

Our borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide us with one of our sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides us with a continentcontingent source of liquidity.

Our total borrowings decreasedincreased by $206.2$0.4 million, or 87.6%1.4%, to $29.2$28.4 million at June 30, 2020 from $235.42021 compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2019.2020.

We received approximately $35.8 million of PPP loan origination fees from the SBA. We also deferred certain origination costs, totaling $3.5 million, related to our PPP loans. The loan fees and the deferred costs will be amortized through interest income over the lifeinvestment of the PPP loans, which is expectedproceeds of our October 2020 IPO.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 66.2%, to be 24 months, but$1.1 million during the amortization period will be adjusted as PPP loans are forgiven or repaid. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $4.1 million in PPP loan fees, net in interest income.

Net interest income was $204.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in our interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was due to a decrease in the cost of deposits. The average balance of deposits increased due to our increasing core deposits to help fund loan growth, whereas the average cost of deposits decreased due to the interest rate decreases occurring in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The average cost of our interest-bearing deposits decreased 21 basis points to 0.26% during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The decrease was a resultinvestment of the Bank’s asset sensitivity combined with a lower interest rate environment. The decline in interest income was only partially offset by a decline in interest expense.

Net interest income decreased by $7.3 million, or 3.5%, to $198.9 million during the six months ended June 30,proceeds from our October 2020 from $206.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the charge to expense that is required to maintain an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. TheWe currently follow the incurred loss model for determining the provision for loan losses increased by $7.1and anticipate adopting what is commonly referred to as the “CECL model” on January 1, 2022.
We recorded a release of provision for loan losses of $3.3 million or 473.3%,for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a provision of $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million for2020. Given continued improved economic and credit conditions during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was due to the loan risk rating migration in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios to reflect the impact2021, we determined that a release of the current economic environment resulting fromprovision was necessary. We had made a similar determination in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Therelease of provision for loan losses increased by $32.7of $0.6 million or 726.7%,recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Overall, we recorded a total release of provision for loan losses of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a provision of $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. In March 2020, compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due

in response to the change in loanCOVID-19 pandemic, we downgraded the risk ratings for all commercial loans we expected to reflectbe significantly impacted by the impact of the increased concerns about customers that are expecting to face financial difficulties due to the current economic environment resulting from the COVID-19pandemic, primarily related to the downgrading ofincluding our hotel and restaurant loan portfolios. The increase in the provision also reflects the increased concern about the performance of the loan portfolio given the increase in the non-performing loans and delinquent loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Our periodic evaluation of the appropriate allowance for loan losses considers the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and trends in loan delinquencies and charge-offs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. The financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, unadvanced portions of construction loans and standby letters of credit, all of which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Management of Market Risk

General. Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. Interest rate sensitivity is the most significant market risk to which we are exposed. Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates, as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of assets and liabilities, affect net interest income, our primary source of income. Interest rate risk arises directly from our core banking activities. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in the level of interest rates can also affect the amount of loans originated, the timing of cash flows on loans and securities, and the fair value of securities and derivatives, as well as other effects. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control this risk within limits approved by the Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors.

These limits reflect our tolerance for interest rate risk over both short-term and long-term horizons. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying, and where appropriate, hedging its exposure. If assets and liabilities do not re-price simultaneously and in equal volume, the potential for interest rate exposure exists. Our objective is to maintain stability in the growth of net interest income through the maintenance of an appropriate mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and, when necessary and within limits that management determines to be prudent, through the use of off-balance sheet hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, floors and caps.

Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a 12-month period assuming no changes in interest rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumption that the United StatesU.S. Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by +200, +300, +400 and -100 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Changes in Interest Rates” column below. The model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates. The relatively low level of interest rates prevalent at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 precluded the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios, includingscenarios.

The tables above indicate that at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis points increase in rates, we would have experienced a 17.0%20.6% and 2.7%25.5% increase, respectively, in net interest income on an FTE basis, and in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis points decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 2.4%7.0% and a 3.9%5.0% decrease at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, in net interest income, on an FTE basis. We have the ability toManagement may use interest rate derivative financial instruments, within internal policy guidelines, to manage interest rate risk as part of our asset/liability strategy. These derivatives provide significant protection against falling interest rates. Without the derivatives, our FTE net interest income would decline by 2.8% with an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, rather than the 2.4% decrease shown in the table above at June 30, 2020.

Economic Value of Equity Analysis.We also analyze the sensitivity of our financial condition in interest rates through our economic value of equity (“EVE”) model. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and liabilities assuming various changes in current interest rates.

The table below represents an analysis of our interest rate risk (excluding the effect of our pension plan)plans) as measured by the estimated changes in our EVE, resulting from an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in the yield curve (+200, +300, +400 basis points and -100 basis points) at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates. The relatively low level of interest rates prevalent at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 precluded the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios, including negative interest rates.

EVE Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our earnings are not directly or materially impacted by movements in foreign currency rates or commodity prices. Movements in equity prices may have a modest impact on earnings by affecting the volume of activity or the amount of fees from investment-related business lines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet deposit withdrawals and anticipated loan fundings, as well as current and planned expenditures. We seek to maintain sources of liquidity that are deep and diversified and that may be used during the normal course of business as well as on a contingency basis.

The net proceeds from our IPO significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources at both Eastern Bankshares, Inc. and Eastern Bank. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the IPO are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loans. Our financial condition and results of operations have been enhanced by the net proceeds from the IPO, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net interest and dividend income. In April 2021, we announced that we had executed the Merger Agreement with Century, under which we expect to acquire Century for $641.9 million in cash. The transaction, which we expect to close in the middle of the fourth quarter of 2021, will reduce the net proceeds from the IPO. However, we continue to expect that due to the increase in equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in our IPO, our return on equity has been and will continue to be adversely affected until we can effectively employ the proceeds of the IPO.
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks and securities classified as available for sale.

In the future, our liquidity position will be affected by the level of customer deposits and payments, as well as acquisitions, dividends, and stock repurchases in which we may engage. We believe that our existing resources will be sufficient to meet the liquidity and capital requirements of our operations for the foreseeable future.

We participate in the Promontory InterfinancialIntraFi Network allowing(formerly “Promontory”), which allows us to provide access to multi-million dollar FDIC deposit insurance protection on customer deposits for consumers, businesses and public entities. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other Promontory networkIntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had a total of $409.0$464.7 million and $270.0$364.8 million of Promontory IntraFi Network one-way sell

deposits, respectively. These deposits could have been repurchased as reciprocal deposits and should be considered a source of liquidity.

Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining additional back up sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.FHLBB. At June 30, 2020,2021, we had $14.9$14.3 million in outstanding advances and the ability to borrow up to an additional $1.4$1.6 billion. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of BostonFRBB as well as the Federal Reserve Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. At June 30, 2020,2021, we had a $485.0$482.1 million collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of BostonFRBB with no outstanding balance. Additionally, we had $1.1 billion$825.8 million in Paycheck Protection Program LoansPPP loans that could have been pledged to the Federal Reserve Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. We had a total of $620.0$770.0 million of discretionary lines of credit at June 30, 2020.

We believe that advanced preparation, early detection, and prompt responses can avoid, minimize, or shorten potential liquidity crises. Our Board of Directors and our management's Asset Liability Committee have put a Liquidity Contingency Plan in place to establish methods for assessing and monitoring risk levels, as well as potential responses during unanticipated stress events. As part of its risk management framework, we perform periodic liquidity stress testing to assess its need for liquid assets as well as backup sources of liquidity.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve (with respect to our consolidated capital requirements). At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities. ThereAt June 30, 2021 there were no material changes in our contractual obligations, other commitments and contingencies at June 30, 2020.
