Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Relevant standards that were recently issued but not yet adopted as of September 30, 2022:
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). This update modifies how an acquiring entity measures contract assets and contract liabilities of an acquiree in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update require the acquiring entity in a business combination to account for revenue contracts as if they had originated the contract and assess how the acquiree accounted for the contract under Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 improves comparability of recognition and measurement of revenue contracts with customers both before and after a business combination. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310-40 and amends the guidance on vintage disclosures, referenced in ASC 326-20-50, to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. This update supersedes the existing accounting guidance for TDRs in ASC 310-40 in its entirety and requires entities to evaluate all receivable modifications under existing accounting guidance in ASC 310-20 to determine whether a modification made to a borrower results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. In addition to the elimination of TDR accounting guidance, entities that adopt this update will no longer consider renewals, modifications and extensions that result from reasonably expected TDRs in their calculation of the allowance for credit losses. Further, if an entity employs a discounted cash flow method to calculate the allowance for credit losses, it will be required to use a post-modification-derived effective interest rate as part of its calculation. The update also requires new disclosures for receivables for which there has been a modification in their contractual cash flows resulting from borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may elect to apply the updated guidance on TDR recognition and measurement by using a modified retrospective transition method. The amendments on TDR disclosures and vintage disclosures should be adopted prospectively. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Relevant standards that were adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
In June 30, 2020:

2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and relevant amendments (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). This update was created to replace the then-current GAAP method of calculating credit losses. Specifically, the standard replaced the previous 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 losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The standard also amends previous impairment guidance for available for sale securities, in which credit losses are recorded as an allowance versus a write-down of the amortized cost basis of the security. It also allows 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 (“ASU 2018-19”). The amendments in ASU 2018-19 were 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. 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.
On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASUs 2016-13, 2018-19 and 2019-11 (codified in ASC 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”), which replaced the incurred loss methodology (codified in ASC 450, “Contingencies,” ASC 310, “Receivables” and ASC 320, “Debt Securities”) with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as current expected credit losses methodology (“CECL methodology”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of the Company’s date of adoption of January 1, 2022. Accordingly, results for reporting periods beginning after December

31, 2021 are presented under ASU 2016-13, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $20.1 million, net of deferred taxes of $7.9 million, as of January 1, 2022, for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets that were previously classified as purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) financial assets and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with ASU 2016-13, the Company did not reassess whether its assets previously classified as PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. Rather, loans previously determined to be PCI loans are considered to be PCD loans as of January 1, 2022. On January 1, 2022, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets was adjusted to reflect the addition of the allowance for loan losses on PCD loans. The remaining noncredit discount will be accreted into the Company’s interest income at the then-effective interest rate as of January 1, 2022. The amount of the adjustment for PCD assets was not material to the Company.
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 existingthat exist as of December 31, 2022, thatfor which 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 reviewingperformed a review its contracts and existing processes in order to assess the risks and potential impact of the transition away from LIBOR.

In June 2016, FASB issued LIBOR and noted no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies
The adoption of the ASUs 2016-13, 2018-19 and 2019-11 resulted in changes in the Company’s accounting policies and estimates as it relates to available for sale securities, held to maturity securities, loans receivable and off-balance sheet commitments to lend. The following describes the changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from December 31, 2021, that resulted from the adoption of the ASUs described above:
Allowance for Credit Losses - Available for Sale Securities
ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments–Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and relevant amendments (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). This update was createdmade targeted changes to replaceASC 320 to eliminate the current GAAP methodconcept of calculating credit losses Specifically,“other than temporary” from the standard replaces the existing incurredimpairment 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 losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The standard also amends existing impairment guidanceestimation model for available for sale (“AFS”) securities. A summary of the changes made by the Company to the existing impairment model (previously referred to as the “OTTI” model) as a result of adoption of ASU 2016-13 is as follows:
The use of an allowance approach, rather than a permanent write-down of a security’s cost basis upon determination of an impairment loss.
The amount of the allowance is limited to the amount at which the security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis.
The Company may not consider the length of time a security’s fair value has been less than amortized cost.
The Company may not consider recoveries in fair value after the balance sheet date when assessing whether a credit loss exists.
The Company’s AFS securities are carried at fair value. For AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, management will first evaluate whether there is intent to sell a security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security prior to anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria are met, the Company will record a write-down of the security’s amortized cost basis to fair value through income. For those AFS securities which do not meet the intent or requirement to sell criteria, management will evaluate whether the decline in fair value is a result of credit related matters or other factors. In performing this assessment, management considers the creditworthiness of the issuer including whether the security is guaranteed by the U.S. federal government or other government agency, the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, and changes in credit rating during the period, among other factors. If this assessment indicates the existence of credit losses, the security will be written down to fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis. To the extent the estimated cash flows do not support the amortized cost, the deficiency is considered to be due to credit loss and is recognized in earnings.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when the security is determined to be uncollectible, or when either of the aforementioned criteria surrounding intent or requirement to sell have been met. On January 1, 2022, the date on which the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, no allowance for credit losses was recorded for AFS securities.

Refer to Note 3, “Securities” for additional information regarding the measurement of impairment losses on AFS securities.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Held to Maturity Securities
The Company measures expected credit losses on held to maturity (“HTM”) securities on a collective basis by major security type which, as of September 30, 2022, includes government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Securities in the Company’s held to maturity portfolio are guaranteed by either the U.S. federal government or other government sponsored agencies with a long history of no credit losses. As a result, management has determined that these securities have a zero loss expectation and therefore does not estimate an allowance for credit losses on these securities. The Company held no securities classified as held to maturity at December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 3, “Securities” for additional information regarding the measurement of credit losses on HTM securities.
Allowance for Loan Losses - Loans Held for Investment
Loans Individually Assessed for Impairment
ASU 2016-13 indicates that a loan should be measured for impairment individually if that loan shares no similar risk characteristics with other loans. For the Company, loans which have been identified as those to be individually assessed for impairment under CECL include loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans in the corresponding reserve segment. Characteristics of loans meeting this definition may include, but are not limited to:
Loans previously restructured and determined to be TDR loans;
Loans on non-accrual status; and
Loans with a risk rating of 12 under the Company’s risk rating scale, substandard (well-defined weakness) or worse.
Collateral-Dependent Loans
Management considers a loan to be collateral-dependent when foreclosure of the underlying collateral is probable. In addition, in accordance with ASU 2016-13, the Company elected to apply the collateral-dependent practical expedient whereby the Company measures expected credit losses using the fair value of the collateral, less any estimated costs to sell, when foreclosure is not probable but repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.
Troubled Debt Restructured Loans
In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a TDR. Modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, consumer loans where the borrower’s obligations have been effectively discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt to the Company, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13, all TDR loans were subject to a specific review for impairment loss each period beginning in the period in which the modification was executed. Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, management identifies loans as TDR loans when it has a reasonable expectation that it will execute a TDR modification with a borrower. In addition, subsequent to adoption of ASU 2016-13, management estimates expected credit losses on a collective basis if a group of TDR loans share similar risk characteristics. If a TDR loan’s risk characteristics are not similar to those of any of the Company’s other TDR loans, expected credit losses on the TDR loan are measured individually. 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 credit loss, if any, is recorded as a specific loss allocation to each individual loan or as a loss allocation to the pool of loans, for those loans for which credit loss is measured on a collective basis, in the allowance for credit losses. Any commercial (commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, and business banking loans) or residential loan that has been classified as a TDR and which subsequently defaults is 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 retain any restructured loan, which is on non-accrual status prior to being modified, on non-accrual status for approximately six months subsequent to being modified before the Company considers its return to accrual status. If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, the Company reviews it to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status.

Purchased Credit-Deteriorated Loans
As described above, the Company applied the prospective transition approach with respect to PCD assets upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. Under this approach, loans previously determined to be PCI loans are considered to be PCD loans as of January 1, 2022. PCD loans are acquired individual loans (or acquired groups of loans with similar risk characteristics) that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as determined by the Company’s assessment. A PCD loan is recorded at its purchase price plus the allowance for loan losses will be recorded as an allowance versus a write-downexpected at the time of acquisition, or “gross up” of the amortized cost basis, if any. Changes in the current estimate of the security. It will also allowallowance for aloan losses subsequent to acquisition from the estimated allowance previously recorded are recognized in the income statement as provision for credit losses or reversal of impairment loss whenprovision for credit losses in subsequent periods as they arise. A purchased loan that does not qualify as a PCD asset is accounted for similar to the Company’s method of accounting for originated assets, whereby an allowance for loan losses is recognized with a corresponding increase to the income statement provision for loan losses. Evidence that purchased loans, measured at amortized cost, have more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination and, therefore meet the PCD definition, may include past-due status, non-accrual status, risk rating and other standard indicators (i.e., TDRs, charge-offs, bankruptcy).
Allowance for Credit Losses
Through December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses represented management’s best estimate of incurred probable losses in the Company’s loan portfolios based upon management’s assessment of various factors, including the risk characteristics of its loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and trends in loan delinquencies and charge-offs. The Company’s methodology for determining the qualitative component through December 31, 2021 included an assessment of factors affecting the determination of incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Such factors included trends in economic conditions, loan growth, credit underwriting policy exceptions, regulatory and audit findings, and peer comparisons, among others. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, effective January 1, 2022, the Company changed its reserve methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the contractual life of loans and leases.
The allowance for credit losses, or ACL, is established to provide for the Company’s current estimate of expected lifetime credit losses on loans measured at amortized cost and unfunded lending commitments at the balance sheet date and is established through a provision for credit losses charged to net income. Credit losses are charged directly to the ACL. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL. 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 finance loans, policies and procedures exist that require charge-off consideration upon a certain triggering event depending on the product type. Charge-off triggers include: 120 days delinquent for automobile, home equity, and other consumer loans with the exception of cash reserve loans for which the trigger is 150 days delinquent; death of the issuer improves. borrower; or Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In addition to those events, the charge-off determination includes other loan quality indicators, such as collateral position and adequacy or the presence of other repayment sources.
The guidance requiresACL is evaluated on a cumulativeregular basis by management. Management uses a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of expected lifetime losses in the portfolio. Expected lifetime losses are estimated on a collective basis for loans sharing similar risk characteristics and are determined using a quantitative model combined with an assessment of certain qualitative factors designed to address forecast risk and model risk inherent in the quantitative model output. For commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction and business banking portfolios, the quantitative model uses a loan rating system which is comprised of management’s determination of a financial asset’s probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”) and exposure at default (“EAD”), which are derived from historical loss experience and other factors. For residential real estate, consumer home equity and other consumer portfolios, the Company’s quantitative model uses historical loss experience.
The quantitative model estimates expected credit losses using loan level data over the estimated life of the exposure, considering the effect of prepayments. Economic forecasts are incorporated into the initial applicationestimate over a reasonable and supportable forecast period, beyond which is a reversion to the Company’s historical loss average. Management has determined that a reasonable and supportable forecast period of eight quarters, and a straight-line reversion period of four quarters, are appropriate forecast periods for purposes of estimating expected credit losses. As described above, quantitative model results are adjusted for risk factors not considered within the model but which are relevant in estimating the expected credit losses within the loan portfolio. The qualitative risk factors impacting the expected risk of loss within the loan portfolio include the following:
Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery practices;
Nature and volume of the portfolio;

Volume and severity of past-due, non-accrual and classified loans;
The value of the underlying collateral for loans that are not collateral dependent;
Concentrations of credit risk;
Model and data limitations; and
Other external factors, such as changes in legal, regulatory or competitive environments.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with any pools of assets are subject to individual evaluation and are removed from the collectively assessed pools. For loans that are individually evaluated, the Company uses either a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach or, for loans deemed to be recognizedcollateral dependent or when foreclosure is probable, a fair value of collateral approach.
Accrued interest receivable amounts are excluded from balances of loans held at amortized cost and are included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Management has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on these amounts as the Company employs a timely write-off policy. Consistent with the Company's policy for non-accrual loans, accrued interest receivable is typically written off when loans reach 90 days past due and are placed on non-accrual status.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in retained earnings at the datefinancial statements when they become payable. The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the reserving method for loans receivable previously described. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments is included in other liabilities in the balance sheet.
Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of initial application.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification ImprovementsCompany’s examination process, periodically assess the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses and may require the Company to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The amendments in Update No. 2018-19 was 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 accountedincrease its allowance for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification ImprovementsGAAP.

Refer to Topic 326, Financial Instruments –Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses. This update requires entitiesLosses” for additional information regarding the Company’s measurement of credit losses on loans receivable and off-balance sheet commitments 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 entitieslend as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.September 30, 2022. For all other entities, the guidance is effectivecomparative allowance for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company, which currently qualifies as an EGC, anticipates to early adopt this standard during the year ending on December 31, 2021 and is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. To date, the Company has been assessing the key differences and gaps between its current allowance methodology and model and those it is considering using upon adoption. The Company has contracted with a vendor and is currently assessing the adequacy of existingloan loss data and developing models for default and loss estimates. While currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this ASU, it is expected that the impact of adoption will be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

Relevant standards that were adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020:

In accordance with the nonpublic company requirements, 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 sourcesinformation for which the timing of recognition needed to change under the new standard. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its current accounting policiesASC 450, “Contingencies” 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, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 (“ASU 2018-01”); 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 2018-01 permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that310, “Receivables” 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 leases 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.

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, were 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. 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 its 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

Gross realized gains from sales of available for sale securities were $0.2 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0.3 million and $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company had no significant gross realized losses from sales of securities available for sale during both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. No other-than-temporary impairment was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Management preparesASU 2016-13, management prepared an estimate of the Company’s expected cash flows for AFS investment securities available for sale that potentially may be deemed to have been an OTTI. This estimate beginsbegan with the contractual cash flows of the security. This amount issecurity which was then reduced by an estimate of probable credit losses associated with the security. When estimating the extent of probable losses on the securities, management considersconsidered the credit quality and the ability to pay of the underlying issuers. Indicators of diminished credit quality of the issuers includeincluded defaults, interest deferrals, or “payments in kind.” Management also considersconsidered 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 expected cash flows after considering credit iswas 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 expected cash flows iswas less than the current amortized cost basis, an OTTI iswas considered to have occurred and the security iswas written down to the fair value indicated by the cash flow analysis. As part of the analysis, management considersconsidered whether it intendsintended to sell the security or whether it iswas more than likely that it would be required to sell the security before the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis.

There was no OTTI recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Portfolio Segmentation

Management uses a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of loss incurredexpected losses in each segment of loans in the Company’s portfolio. Commercial and industrial business banking, investment commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial commercial construction and business banking loans are evaluated using a loan rating system,based upon loan-level risk characteristics, historical losses and other factors which form the basis for estimating incurredexpected losses. Portfolios of more homogeneous populations of loans,Other portfolios, including owner occupied commercial real estate, which includes commercial and industrial and business banking owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial construction, residential mortgages, home equity and consumer loans, are analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency ratios, and the Company’s and peer banks’ historical loss experience and charge-offs.experience. For the purposepurposes 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 possess uniquethat share similar 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, airplanesaircraft and equipment. The primary repayment source is operating cash flow and, secondarily, the liquidation of assets. TheUnder its lending guidelines, the Company often obtainsgenerally requires a corporate or personal guaranteesguarantee from individuals holdingthat hold material ownership in the borrowing entity.

entity when the loan-to-value of a commercial and industrial loan is in excess of a specified threshold.

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. TheUnder its lending guidelines, the Company often obtainsgenerally requires a corporate or personal guaranteesguarantee from individuals holdingthat hold material ownership in the borrowing equity.

entity when the loan-to-value of a commercial real estate loan is in excess of a specified threshold.

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.

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 valueloan-to-value consistent with a “prime” portfolio. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family residential dwellings. The policy standards applied to loans originated by the Company are the same as those applied to purchased loans. 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.

Table of Contents

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, automobile and automobileaircraft 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 airplaneaircraft and automobile loans.

Credit Quality

Commercial Lending Credit Quality

The credit quality of the Company’s 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. 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 experienced officers for individual attention.
The Company monitors credit quality indicators and utilizes portfolio scorecards to assess the risk of its commercial portfolio. Specifically, the Company utilizes a 12-point15-point credit risk-rating system to manage risk and identify potential problem loans. Risk-ratingUnder this point system, 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. Commercial loan risk ratings are (re)evaluated for each loan at least once-per-year. The risk-rating categories under the credit risk-rating system are defined as follows:

0 Risk Rating - Unrated

Certain segments of the portfolios are not rated. These segments include airplaneaircraft 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.conducted which includes the review of the business score and loan and deposit account performance. 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 line of credit component restricted

to $350,000.$1.5 million. Loans included in this category have qualification requirements that include risk rating of 6Wgenerally are not required to provide regular financial reporting or better at 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.

regular covenant monitoring.

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%, however,exists, but because of reasonably 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 workout 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 table above. Commercial and industrial and business banking PPP loans amounted to $633.0 million and $467.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 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.

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 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.

(1)The amounts presented represent the recorded investment balance of loans as of December 31, 2021.
(2)“DPD” indicated in the table above refers to “days past due.”
(3)The loans on non-accrual status and without an ACL as of September 30, 2022, were primarily comprised of collateral dependent loans for which the fair value of the underlying loan collateral exceeded the loan carrying value.
The amount of interest income recognized on non-accrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was not significant.
It is the Company’s policy to reverse any accrued interest when a loan is put on non-accrual status and, generally, to record any payments received from a borrower related to a loan on non-accrual status as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of the loan. Accrued interest reversed against interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was insignificant.
For collateral values for residential mortgage and home equity loans, the Company relies primarily upon 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, or estimated auction or liquidation values less estimated costs to sell. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had collateral-dependent residential mortgage and home equity loans totaling $0.6 million.
For collateral-dependent commercial loans, the amount of the allowance for loan losses is individually assessed based upon the fair value of the collateral. Various types of collateral are used, including real estate, inventory, equipment, accounts receivable, securities and cash, among others. For commercial real estate loans, the Company relies primarily upon 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. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had collateral-dependent commercial loans totaling $12.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
Appraisals for all loan types are obtained at the time of loan origination as part of the loan approval process and are updated at the time of a loan modification and/or refinance and as considered necessary by management for impairment review purposes. In addition, appraisals are updated as required by regulatory pronouncements.
As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no residential real estate held in other real estate owned (“OREO”). As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in-process.

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 nonperforming loans. However, basednon-performing loans (which consist of non-accrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest). Based upon the Company’s past experiences, some of thesethe loans with potential weaknesses will ultimately be restructured or placed in non-accrual status.

As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of these loans that will be restructured or placed on non-accrual status.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”)

In

As described previously in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” 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.TDR. The objective is to aid in the resolution of nonperformingprocess through which management identifies loans by modifying the contractual obligation to avoid the possibility of foreclosure.

Allas TDR loans, are considered impairedthe methodology employed to record any loan losses, and the calculation of any shortfall on collateral dependent loans, is also described within Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $17.7 million and $106.7 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 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) or the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) at the time of such modification, and therefore are subjectnot deemed troubled debt restructurings, referred to a specific reviewas TDRs. 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company continued to accrue interest on these COVID-19 modified loans and evaluated the deferred interest for impairment loss. collectability as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The amount of impairment loss, if any, is recorded as a specific loss allocationConsolidated Appropriations Act, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, extended certain provisions related to each individual loanthe COVID-19 pandemic in the allowance for loan losses. Commercial loansUnited States (which were due to expire) and residentialprovided additional emergency relief to individuals and businesses. Included within the provisions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act was the extension to January 1, 2022 of Section 4013 of the CARES Act, which provided relief from a requirement to evaluate loans that have been classified as TDRs and which subsequently default are reviewedhad received a COVID-19 modification to determine if the loans required TDR treatment, provided certain criteria were met. As such, the Company applied the TDR relief granted pursuant to such section to any qualifying loan should be deemed collateral dependent. In such an instance, any shortfall betweenmodification executed during 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.

allowable time period.

The Company’s policy is to have any TDR loansloan which areis 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.

TDR loan information as of December 31, 2021 and the period then ended was prepared in accordance with GAAP effective for the Company as of December 31, 2021, or prior to the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Table of all loans for which management has determined it is probable 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 nonaccrual loans, TDR loans and residential and home equity loans that have been partially charged off.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount of the loans, referred to as the “accretable yield,” is accreted into interest income over the life of the loans using the effective yield method. The following summarizes activity in the accretable yield for the PCI loan portfolio:

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 nonaccretable 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held commercial loan participation interests totaling $1.1 billion and $965.1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s loan participations:

5. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Allowance for Loan Losses
As disclosed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2022. As required by GAAP, the Company has included comparative prior period disclosures of its allowance for loan losses which were prepared in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” and ASC 310, “Receivables” (i.e., prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13). Refer to the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K for significant accounting policies related to the Company’s allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2021. A discussion of the Company’s calculation of its allowance for loan losses for such prior periods follows.
The allowance for loan losses was established to provide for probable losses incurred in the Company’s loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and was established through a provision for loan losses charged to net income. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, were charged directly to the allowance. Commercial and residential loans were charged-off in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Delinquent loans in these product types were subject to ongoing review and analysis to determine if a charge-off in the current period was appropriate. For consumer loans, policies and procedures existed that required charge-off consideration upon a certain triggering event depending on the product type.
Management used 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 were evaluated using a loan rating system, historical losses and other factors which formed the basis for estimating incurred losses. Portfolios of more homogeneous populations of loans, including residential mortgages and consumer loans, were 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 segregated the loan portfolio into the categories noted in the credit quality tables presented in the “Credit Quality” section below. Each of these loan categories possesses unique risk characteristics such as the purpose of the loan, repayment source, and collateral. These characteristics were considered when determining the appropriate level of the allowance for each category. The Company’s historical approach to loan portfolio segmentation by risk characteristics and monitoring of credit quality for commercial loans under previous accounting guidance was consistent with that applied under the newly adopted CECL standard. See Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion regarding the Company’s policies for loan segmentation and credit monitoring.

agreements. Factors considered by management in determining impairment included payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
The Company measured 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 was collateral dependent. The Company defined the population of impaired loans to include certain non-accrual loans, TDR loans, and residential and home equity loans that had been partially charged off.

The estimate of cash flows expected to be collected was regularly re-assessed subsequent to acquisition. A decrease in expected cash flows in subsequent periods may have indicated that the loan was 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 served, 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 resulted 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 was accounted for as a change in estimate. The additional cash flows expected to be collected were reclassified from the non-accretable difference to the accretable yield, and the amount of periodic accretion was adjusted accordingly over the remaining life of the loans.
6. Leases

The Company leases certain office space and equipment under various noncancelablenon-cancelable operating leases. These leases have original terms ranging from 1 year to 25 years. Operating lease liabilities and right of use (ROU)right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized at the lease commencement date based onupon the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term.

The assessment for the banking business included a market capitalization analysis, as well as a comparison of the banking business’ book value to the implied fair value using a pricing multiple of the Company’s tangible book value. The assessment for the insurance agency business included a price-to-earnings analysis, as well as an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiplier valuation based upon recent and observed agency mergers and acquisitions. The Company considered the current economic conditions for the period, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it pertains to the goodwill above and determined that there was no indication of impairment related to goodwill as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company did not record any impairment charges during the year ended2022 or December 31, 2019.

Rabbi Trust Variable Interest Entities
The Company established rabbi trusts 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 trusts are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”) as the equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit the trusts to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trusts as it has the power to direct the activities of the rabbi trusts that significantly affect the rabbi trusts’ economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the rabbi trusts that could potentially be significant to the rabbi trusts by virtue of its contingent call options on the rabbi trusts’ assets in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy. As the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, 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 sheets. Changes in fair value are recorded in noninterest income in the Company's consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the amount of rabbi trust investments at fair value were $71.7 million and $104.4 million, respectively.

Under the 2021 Plan, 7,470,326 shares may be issued as restricted stock or RSUs, including those issued as performance shares and performance share units (“PSUs”), and 18,675,815 shares may be issued upon the exercise of stock options. These shares may be awarded from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares. However, the 2021 Plan permits the grant of additional awards of restricted stock or RSUs above the aforementioned limit, provided that, for each additional share of restricted stock or RSU awarded in excess of such limit, the pool of shares available to be issued upon the exercise of stock options will be reduced by three shares. Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan, each of the Company’s non-employee directors were automatically granted awards of restricted stock on November 30, 2021. Such restricted stock awards vest pro-rata on an annual basis over a five-year period. The maximum term for stock options is ten years.
On March 1, 2022, the Company granted to all of the Company’s executive officers and certain other employees a total of 978,364 RSUs, which vest pro-rata on an annual basis over a period of three or five years, and a total of 533,676 PSUs, for which vesting is contingent upon the Compensation Committee of the Board of Director’s certification, after the conclusion of a three-year period, that the Company has attained a threshold level of certain performance criteria over such period. On May 17, 2022, the Company granted a total of 31,559 shares of restricted stock to the Company’s non-employee directors which vest after approximately one year from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 5,243,671 shares and 6,787,270 shares that remained available for issuance as restricted stock or RSU awards, respectively, and 18,675,815 shares that remain available for issuance upon the exercise of stock options at both dates. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no stock options had been awarded under the 2021 Plan.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $40.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units granted and issued under the 2021 Plan, as applicable. As of September 30, 2022, this cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 3.6 years. As of December 31, 2021, this cost was expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 4.9 years.
12. 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.

Other Contingencies

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.

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a preliminary settlement of two purported class action matters concerning overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees. The matters were filed in the Massachusetts Superior Court in November 2019 and April 2021, respectively, and were consolidated into one matter for final settlement purposes. The matters were settled during the first quarter of 2022 and the total settlement expense, including related costs, was $3.3 million. The Company incurred no costs in 2022 related to these matters as the total settlement expense had been accrued in 2021 when management determined the loss contingency to be both probable and estimable. The Company’s regulators conducted inquiries and reviewed data related to one of these class action matters and, in February 2022, made an additional request for data and notified management that they may require additional restitution for certain matters associated with the nonsufficient funds fees matter. Based on this discussion, management believed that a loss contingency for this restitution was probable but was not able to determine a reasonable estimate for the loss. However, later during the first quarter of 2022, the Company was informed by its regulators that no additional remediation on this issue would be required. As a result, as of September 30, 2022, management no longer believes that a loss contingency for restitution associated with this issue is probable.

As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is required to maintain certain reserves of vault cash and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.Boston (the “FRBB”). However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve temporarily eliminated reserve requirements and therefore there was no minimum reserve requirement as of Juneeither September 30, 2020. The amount of this reserve requirement included in cash and cash equivalents was approximately $3.7 million on2022 or December 31, 2019.

13. 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. The Company also enters into residential mortgage loan commitments to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future and enters into forward sale commitments to sell such residential mortgage loans at specified prices and times in the future, both of which are considered derivative instruments. 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.

The Company’s discounting methodology and interest calculation of cash margin uses the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, for U.S. dollar cleared interest rate swaps.

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 entered 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 hasSuch interest rate swaps thatinclude those which effectively convert the floating rate one-month LIBOR, SOFR or overnight indexed swap rate, or prime rate interest payments received on the commercial loans to a fixed rate and consequently reduce the Bank’sCompany’s exposure to variability in short-term interest rates. The Company also hasFor 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 of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 20192022 for interest rate swaps which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

In addition, the world, includingfair value includes netting adjustments which represent the Federal Reserve, have commissioned working groups of market participants and official sector representatives with the goal of finding suitable replacements for the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) based on observable market transactions because of the probable phase-out of LIBOR. It is expected that a transition away from the widespread use of LIBORamounts recorded to alternative rates will occur over the course of the next few years. Although 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 of financial products, including any LIBOR-based securities, loans and derivatives that are included in the Company’s financialconvert derivative assets and liabilities.

The balance of terminated cash flow hedges in AOCI will be amortized into earnings through January 2023. The Company expects approximately $12.8the remaining $0.6 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 JuneSeptember 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.

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 derivativederivatives consists of exposure on cleared derivative transactions and exposure on non-cleared derivative transactions.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives
The Company enters into residential mortgage loan commitments in connection with its consumer mortgage banking activities to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future. In addition, the Company enters into forward sale commitments to sell such residential mortgage loans at specified prices and times in the future. These commitments are short-term in nature and generally expire in 30 to 60 days. The residential mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale and the related forward sale commitments are considered derivative instruments under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported in earnings and included in other non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan origination commitments of $9.4 million and $31.9 million, respectively and forward sale commitments of $8.1 million and $24.4 million, respectively. During both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net losses related to the change in fair value of commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans of less than $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net losses related to the change in fair value of commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s mortgage banking derivative asset and liability as of September 30, 2022 was $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s mortgage banking derivative asset and liability as of December 31, 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Mortgage banking derivative assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Residential mortgages sold are generally sold with servicing rights released. Mortgage banking derivatives do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.
14. 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 JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, it was determined that no additional collateral would have to be posted to immediately settle these instruments.

15. 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.

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.

53

Table of Contents

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

Securities

Trading securities consisted of fixed income municipal securities and were recorded at fair value. All fixed income securities were categorized as Level 2 as the valuations 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. Agency bonds (including SBA pooled securities), U.S. government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal bonds, and others such as a qualified zone academy bond, and wereother debt securities. AFS securities are recorded at fair value.

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 otherU.S. Agency bonds, including SBA pooled securities, 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 waswere estimated using either a matrix or benchmarks. The inputs used include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. TheseTherefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2.

Municipal2 given the use of observable inputs.

The fair value of state and municipal bonds were classifiedestimated using a valuation matrix with inputs including observable bond interest rate tables, recent transactions, and yield relationships. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 2 forgiven the same reasons described for the trading municipal securities.

use of observable inputs.

The fair value of other debt securities were estimated using a valuation technique for the qualified zone academymatrix with inputs including observable 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,interest rate tables, recent transactions, and therefore, this security was classifiedyield relationships. Therefore, these securities were categorized as Level 3.

2 given the 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.

3, “Securities.”

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 are classified as Level 3 since the valuation methodology utilizes significant unobservable inputs. Loans that are deemed to be impairedcollateral-dependent, as described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” 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.

collateral.

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.

54

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$36.5 million at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and $16.2$58.1 million at December 31, 2019.2021. There were no 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 Swap Collateral Funds
The fair value of interest rate swap collateral funds approximates the carrying amount. Interest rate swap collateral funds 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 itsthe Company’s 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 JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, the impact of 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.

55

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.

Mortgage Derivatives

The carrying amountsfair value of mortgage derivatives is determined based upon current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, estimatedtherefore are classified as Level 2 within the fair valuesvalue hierarchy.

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 Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4,“Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion regarding the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13 and the effect of that adoption on the management’s process for estimating the allowance for loan losses.

Loans for 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.

16. 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 606, 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 orand 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

2.Identify the performance obligations

Table of Contents

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 has disaggregated its revenue

A portion of the Company's noninterest income is derived from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606606. The Company has disaggregated such revenues by type of service, as presented in the table below. These categories reflect how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

These profit-sharing revenues are performance bonuses from the insurers based upon certain performance metrics such as floors on written premiums, loss rates, and growth rates. 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.

Insurance commissions earned but not yet received amounted to $7.7$14.4 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2022, and $3.9$15.6 million as of December 31, 2019,2021, and were included in other assets.

19. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, management determined it was probable that the lump sum payments from the Defined Benefit Plan of Reorganization and Conversion

On June 12, 2020,for the Board of Trusteesyear ending December 31, 2022 would exceed the sum of the Company adopted a Plan of Conversionservice cost and interest cost components (the “Plan”“threshold”). 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, andDefined Benefit Plan’s net periodic pension cost. ASC 715-20, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans,” requires that upon determining it is probable that such threshold will be met, management shall immediately thereafterrecognize in earnings a pro rata portion of the Company will merge into Eastern Bankshares, Inc. Pursuantaggregate unamortized gain or loss (e.g., “non-cash settlement charge”). As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management estimates the amount of such non-cash settlement charge to the Plan, Eastern Bankshares, Inc. will issue shares of common stock inbe 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.

cannot 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’ equitydetermined as of the date of this report as the latest statement of financial position included in the latest prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionactual amount is dependent upon various factors, including final lump sum benefit amounts paid for the offering, plus (ii) the valueyear ending December 31, 2022 and an actuarial remeasurement 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$22.0 billion and $11.6$23.5 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, 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$172.0 million, or 84.0%87.9%, of our total income (interest(pre-provision net interest and dividend income and noninterest income) for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and contributed $238.7$474.0 million, or 82.6%86.2%, of our total income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2022, and our insurance agency business, which contributed $23.9$23.7 million, or 16.0%12.1%, of our total income for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and $50.4$76.1 million, or 17.4%13.8%, of our total income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.2022. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 computed in accordance with GAAP was $54.8 million and $157.5 million, respectively, as compared to $37.1 million and $119.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, representing increases of 47.6% and 31.7%, respectively. These increases were primarily due to an increase in average interest earning assets, which was primarily the result of our 2021 acquisition of Century. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section below for additional discussion. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $55.7 million and $163.4 million, respectively, compared to operating net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $37.4 million and $121.0 million, respectively, representing increases of 49.1% and 35.0%, respectively. These increases were largely driven by the aforementioned change in average interest-earning assets. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of operating net income to GAAP net income.

The following chart shows our basic earnings per share on a GAAP and operating basis over the past five quarters (refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of GAAP earnings to operating earnings):
ebc-20220930_g1.jpg
Earnings per share increased from $0.22 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $0.33 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a 55.4% increase. Earnings per share increased from $0.69 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $0.94 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a 36.0% increase. These increases were due to increases in net interest income and decreases in the average number of common shares outstanding during each such period. The decreases in the average number of common shares outstanding are attributable to share repurchases in connection with our previously announced share repurchase program.
68

The following chart shows our efficiency ratio on a GAAP and operating basis over the past five quarters (refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for additional information on the determination of each measure):
ebc-20220930_g2.jpg
The GAAP efficiency and non-GAAP operating efficiency ratios for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased compared to the ratios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the efficiency ratios for such periods was primarily attributable to increased net interest income, which resulted in a margin of increase in total revenue that exceeded the rate at which noninterest expense increased for the same periods. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section below for additional discussion of the changes in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense.
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 both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had total commercial and industrial loans of $3.0 billion, representing 23.5% and 24.2%, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our SNC Program portfolio totaled $578.5 million and $480.9 million, or 19.1% and 16.2%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio, and 34.4% and 40.3%, 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”), a portion of our PPP loans, and industrial revenue bonds (“IRBs”), the balances of which are detailed below:
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our ABL Portfolio totaled $230.4 million and $224.8 million, or 7.6% and 7.6%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of PPP loans included in our commercial and industrial portfolio was $5.3 million and $112.8 million, respectively.
As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our commercial and industrial IRB portfolio, which is comprised of municipal bonds issued to finance major capital projects, totaled $1.0 billion.
Commercial real estate: Loans in this category include mortgage loans on commercial real estate, both investment and owner occupied. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had total commercial real estate loans of $5.0 billion and $4.5 billion, representing 38.7% and 36.9%, respectively, of our total loans. As of both September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, owner occupied loans totaled $1.0 billion, representing 20.2% and 21.2%, respectively, of our commercial real estate loans. In connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-13, we revised our methodology for determining owner occupied commercial real estate loans in order to conform with our corresponding pools for CECL reserve modeling purposes, and our totals as of September 30, 2022 reflect such revision. Accordingly, the amount of our owner occupied commercial real estate loans as of December 31, 2021 was also revised from the amount disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K to accommodate comparability. 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. Our commercial real estate loan portfolio also included IRB loans of $591.6 million and $629.6 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
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. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had total commercial construction loans of $314.2 million and $222.3 million, representing 2.4% and 1.8%, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had total business banking loans of $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, representing 8.5% and 10.9% of our total loans for each period end, respectively. In this category, commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $222.3 million and $874.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022, and $440.6 million and $894.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.
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 business banking total. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of PPP loans included in our business banking portfolio was $17.8 million and $218.6 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.

We generally do not continue to service residential loans that we sell in the secondary market.

respectively, representing 16.4% and 15.7%, 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, residential real estate mortgage originations were $119.8 million and $397.5 million, respectively, of which $8.1 million and $53.2 million, respectively, were sold on the secondary markets. Comparatively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, residential real estate mortgage originations were $232.1 million and $743.5 million, respectively, of which $67.8 million and $171.1 million, respectively, were sold on the secondary markets.

Outlook and Trends

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have an adverse effect on our business and the markets in which we operate.

Interest Rates
We expect the short-term and long-term economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic to our customers will continue to be significant, andbelieve that the continuing health and safety concerns relating toincreases in 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, wefederal funds rate that 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 remotelyoccurred in 2022 and we are providing premium payanticipate will occur in early 2023 will improve our net interest income 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 three months ended June 30, 2020, we originated $1.1 billion of PPP loans.

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

For our commercial and small business customers, starting in March 2020, we began modifying the terms of loans with customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through June 30, 2020, we had modified approximately $946.1 million of loans, of which approximately 56% were for full payment deferrals (both interest and principal) and 44% were for deferral of only principal payments, and included $558.9 million of commercial real estate loans, including construction loans, $157.4 million of commercial and industrial loans, $106.9 million of business banking loans, $92.8 million of residential real estate loans and $30.1 million of consumer loans, including home equity loans. Most of these deferrals will end in the third or fourth quarter of the year ending December 31, 2020. We have2022 and into 2023 on a year over year basis, although there is greater uncertainty regarding the impact in 2023. Beginning in March 2022, the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) voted to increase the federal funds rate multiple times from a range of 0.00% to 0.25% to a range of 3.75% to 4.00% on November 2, 2022, when the FOMC stated that it “anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range [for the federal funds rate] will be appropriate.”

Inevitably, not deferredall of our recognitioninterest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities will re-price simultaneously and in equal volume in response to changes in the federal funds rate, and therefore the potential for interest rate exposure exists. Management believes that several factors will affect the actual impact of interest rate changes on our balance sheet and operating results, including, but not limited to, actual changes in interest rates or expectations of future changes, the degree of volatility in the securities markets, inflation rates or expectations of inflation, and the slope of the interest rate yield curve. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying, and, where appropriate, hedging our exposure. Approximately 36% of the outstanding principal balance of our loans as of September 30, 2022 was indexed to a market rate that is expected to reprice along with the federal funds rate. As rates have risen and the shape of the yield curve has changed during the first three quarters of 2022, a portion of these loans have been hedged using interest rate swaps to convert the floating rate interest receipts to a fixed rate. The notional amount of floating rate loans swapped totaled $2.4 billion on September 30, 2022, representing approximately 18.6% of the outstanding principal balance of our loans at that date. For more detail regarding such hedging financial instruments, refer to Note 13, “Derivative Financial Instruments” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that an increase in market interest rates, whether due to an increase in the federal funds rate or otherwise, will decrease the fair value of those interest rate swaps and consequently reduce the positive impact on our net interest income with respectthat an interest rate increase would otherwise

our net interest income under interest rate risk measurement methodologies that use a variety of hypothetical scenarios assuming immediate and parallel changes in interest rates that may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates.

Defined Benefit Plan

We expect to recognize a non-cash settlement charge during the quarter ending December 31, 2022 related to the required use of settlement accounting for 2022 for our Defined Benefit Plan. As of the date of this Quarterly Report we are unable to reasonably estimateon Form 10-Q, management estimates the aggregate amount of loans that will likely become delinquent aftersuch non-cash settlement charge to be a loss within the respective deferral period. The following table shows certain data, asrange of June 30, 2020, related$10.0 million and $15.0 million. For more information, refer to loansNote 19, “Subsequent Events” within the Notes to our borrowersthe Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Paycheck Protection Program Loans
We are a participating lender in the industry categories that we believe will likely experience the most adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans includedSBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP. We concluded PPP loan originations in the tablesecond quarter of 2021 as the SBA announced in May 2021 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.

Net PPP loan fee accretion (fee accretion less cost amortization) for all PPP loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $5.9 million and $23.5 million, respectively.

Only $4.9 million of our PPP exposure at June 30, 2020 had a maturity of five years; all of our other PPP loans outstanding at June 30, 2020 have a two-year maturity.

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 PPP loans.

Our Operating Results. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and we believe it will continue to have a significant impact for at least the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020 and likely continuing into the year ending December 31, 2021.

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%,2022 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$34.3 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019.

2021. Our net interest margin has been and is expected to continue to be adversely affected as a result of the decline in net fee accretion, which is associated with the decreased volume of PPP loan loss provisionpayoffs. The impact to our net interest margin resulting from the decline in net PPP loan fee accretion is estimated to be 0.25% on an annualized basis (change computed based upon average total loans for the quarteryear 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.

2021).

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 Financial 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.

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 revenue, operating earnings per share, operating net income to average tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value 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) OREO gains and losses, (viii) merger and acquisition expenses, (ix) the stock donation to the Eastern Bank Foundation (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 expenses indirectly associated with our IPO 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, andthe ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, average tangible shareholders’ equity, the ratios of net income and operating net income to average tangible shareholders’ equity and tangible 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.

(1)The net tax benefit associated with these items is determined by assessing whether each item is included or excluded from net taxable income and applying our combined statutory tax rate only to those items included in net taxable income. The net tax benefit amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflects the impact of the reversal of the remaining $0.7 million of a $12.0 million valuation allowance (“EBF Valuation Allowance”) established in 2020 associated with the 2020 stock donation to the Foundation. The reversal of the valuation allowance, which occurred during the second quarter of 2022, was considered appropriate based upon our determination of the realizability of such deductions for tax purposes at that time. The initial $11.3 million reversal of the EBF Valuation Allowance occurred in 2021.

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. 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. 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 September 30, 2022 our U.S. government securities consisted of U.S. Agency bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. At December 31, 2021, our U.S. government securities consisted of U.S. Agency bonds, U.S. Treasury securities and Small Business Administration pooled 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, Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae.Mae, including collateralized mortgage obligations. 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, Ginnie Mae 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
77

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

This increase isdecrease was primarily due to investmenta decrease in the fair value of AFS securities, sales of AFS securities, and maturities and principal paydowns of our AFS and held to maturity (“HTM”) securities. Partially offsetting this activity were AFS and HTM security purchases as well as an increase in unrealized gains during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Trading2022.
At September 30, 2022, the unrealized loss on AFS securities totaled $1.0 millionwas $1.2 billion compared to an unrealized loss of $0.1 billion at December 31, 2019,2021, representing a $1.1 billion decrease in the fair value of such securities. The change from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 is primarily driven by rising market rates of interest.
AFS securities sales totaled $400.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. AFS and allHTM security maturities and principal paydowns totaled $880.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Loans

We consider our loansloan portfolio to be relatively diversified by borrower and industry. Our gross loans increased $1.0 billion,$622.4 million, or 11.4%5.1%, to $10.0$12.9 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 from $9.0$12.3 billion at December 31, 2019.2021. The increase as of JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 was primarily due to $1.1 billion PPP loan originations,increases in our commercial real estate, retail, and commercial construction portfolio balances, partially offset by a decrease in other consumerour business banking portfolio, as further noted below.
Our commercial real estate portfolio increased by $463.1 million from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 which was primarily attributable to an increase of $436.6 million in commercial real estate investment loan balances. Such loans of $67.7 million.

represent loans secured by commercial real estate that are non-owner-occupied. The increase in our commercial and industrial loans from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020such loan balances was primarily a resultdue to management’s active focus on originating loans collateralized by industrial/warehouse and multi-family property types, which are included in the commercial real estate investment loan category, due to management’s stable outlook as it relates to the credit performance of the $633.2such loans.

Our retail portfolio increased by $242.5 million, PPPwhich was attributable to increases of $192.0 million and $68.3 million in residential and consumer home equity loan originationsbalances, respectively, during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

2022. The increase in residential real estate loan balances was, in part, due to reduced volume of loan sales, which was precipitated by rising market rates of interest, and led to us retaining a larger number of residential real estate mortgage loan originations. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we purchased $79.9 million in residential real estate loans from a third party. Consumer home equity loan balances increased primarily due to additional customer draws on home equity lines of credit during the period attributable to normal customer activity.

Our commercial construction portfolio increased by $91.9 million which was primarily attributable to increases of $32.0 million and $20.2 million in our industrial/warehouse and multi-family collateral type loan balances, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in the balance of loans collateralized by industrial/warehouse and multi-family property types is due to management’s active focus on originating these types of loans as mentioned above.
Our business banking loans from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 wasportfolio decreased by $238.3 million primarily a result of $467.0 million in PPP loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The decrease in other consumer loans from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 was primarilyas a result of a $200.8 million decrease of $62.6 million in our automobile portfoliobusiness banking PPP loan balances during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 due to our exit from our indirect automobile lending business, which commenced during2022 as such loans were paid off or forgiven by the year ended December 31, 2018.

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. Management utilizes a loan risk rating methodology based on a 15-point scale with the assistance of risk rating scorecard tools. Pass grades are 0-10 and non-pass categories, which align with regulatory guidelines, are: special mention (11), substandard (12), doubtful (13) and loss (14).
Risk rating assignment is determined using one of 15 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 risk rating categories are as follows: unrated (0), pass (1-6W), special mention (7), substandard (8), doubtful (9) and loss (10).

Special mention, substandard and doubtful loans totaled 8.9%2.5% and 2.6%5.8% of total commercial loans outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, respectively. This increasedecrease was driven by an increaserisk rating upgrades in the special mention category, due to the downgrading of our hotelcommercial real estate and restaurant loan portfolios as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

Nonperformingloan is liquidated, or the loan is determined to be uncollectible and is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) are comprised of nonperformingnon-performing loans (“NPLs”), other real estate owned (“OREO”)OREO and nonperformingnon-performing 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 lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell on the date we obtain control.

As of December 31, 2021, NPLs included loans that were past due 90 days or more and residential real estate portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in our commercial and industrial portfolio duestill accruing which were comprised solely of purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans. PCI loans were not subject to a single, larger loan payoff and a reductionclassification as non-accrual in the outstanding balancesame manner as originated loans as their interest income related to the accretable yield recognized and not to contractual interest payments at the loan level.

Non-accrualloans. Interest income recognition for PCD loans increased $9.9 million, or 23.3%, to $52.3 millionis consistent with originated loans and, therefore, PCD loans cease accruing interest at June 30, 2020 from $42.5 million at December 31, 2019, primarily90 days past due to a $7.7 million increase in our business banking portfolio and $6.1 million increase in our residential real estate portfolio, partially offsetunless management believes that the applicable collateral held by the paydownsCompany is clearly sufficient and in full satisfaction of certain NPLs as discussed above.

been performing amounted to $2.0$2.7 million and $2.1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”)2022 and 2021, respectively.

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 within Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, loan modifications made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that 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) are not deemed TDRs. This election afforded by the CARES Act and Interagency guidance expired on January 1, 2022.
In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and we make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a TDR. Loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 which were determined to be TDRs were $9.6 million (post modification balance) and $1.0 million (post modification balance), respectively. The overall increase in TDR loans modified during the sixaforementioned periods consisted of an increase of $5.8 million and $2.8 million in commercial and consumer loan TDR modifications, respectively. There were no loans that had been modified during the preceding 12 months and which subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202022. Two loans totaling $0.5 million were $2.8 million (post modification balance). There was one loan with a balance of $1.3 million modified during the preceding 12 months, which subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
It is our policy to have any restructured loan, which is on non-accrual status prior to being modified, remain on non-accrual status for approximately six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in TDR loans was driven by $1.8 million in commercial loans and $1.0 million in consumer loans.

Purchase credit impaired (“PCI”)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.

PCD loans are loans that 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and2022, the carrying amount of PCD loans was $57.4 million. As discussed further below, we adopted ASU 2016-13, commonly referred to as CECL, on January 1, 2022. Prior to such adoption, our acquired loans that exhibited evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination were designated as PCI loans. As of December 31, 20192021, the carrying amount of PCI loans was $12.4 million$69.6 million.
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 $13.5 million, respectively.

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, extended certain expiring tax provisions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and provided 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 applied CARES Act TDR relief to any qualifying loan modifications executed during the allowable time period.

September 30, 2022, the aggregate outstanding loan balance of loans to our borrowers in the office, retail, restaurant, and hotel industry categories was $1.1 billion, $605.6 million, $198.8 million, and $144.7 million respectively, representing 8.8%, 4.7%, 1.5%, and 1.1% of total loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate outstanding loan balance of loans to our borrowers in the office, retail, restaurant, and hotel industry categories was $1.1 billion, $549.0 million, $188.9 million and $189.0 million, respectively, representing 8.8%, 4.5%, 1.5% and 1.5% of total loans, respectively.

Potential Problem Loans. 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 in the current economic environment. These loans wereare neither delinquent nor on non-accrual status. At JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, 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$214.9 million and $157.3$470.9 million, respectively.

Of these potential problem loans, $129.5 million and $335.9 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are loans in COVID-19 pandemic-impacted industries.

Allowance for loancredit losses.Because we continued to qualify for emerging growth company (“EGC”) status under the Jumpstart Our Business (“JOBS”) Act until December 31, 2021, we were permitted to delay adoption of the CECL standard until the earlier of the date at which non-public business entities are required to adopt the standard and the date that we ceased to be an EGC. Included in the Appropriations Act was an extension of the adoption date to the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date on which the COVID-19 national emergency terminates. We elected this extension and, accordingly, adopted the CECL standard on January 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, we followed the incurred loss allowance GAAP accounting model.
For the purpose of estimating theour allowance for loan losses, we segregate the loan portfolio into the homogenous loan poolscategories, for loans that share similar risk characteristics, 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.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually.

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 possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses, including:
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;
lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery practices; and
current and forecasted banking industry conditions, as well as the regulatory and competitive environment.
Loans are evaluated on a regular basis by management. Expected lifetime losses are estimated on a collective basis for loans sharing similar risk characteristics and are determined using a quantitative model combined with an assessment of certain qualitative factors designed to address forecast risk and model risk inherent in the quantitative model output. For commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction and business banking portfolios, the quantitative model uses a loan rating system which is comprised of management’s determination of probability of default, or PD, loss given default, or LGD and exposure at default, or EAD, which are derived from historical loss experience and other factors. For residential real estate, consumer home equity and other consumer portfolios, our quantitative model uses historical loss experience
The allowance for loan losses is 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 expected credit loss in the loan portfolio. Under our current methodology, the allowance for loan losses contains reserves related to loans for which the related allowance for loan losses is determined on individual loan basis and on a collective basis, and other qualitative components.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable. The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the reserving method for loans receivable previously described. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments is included in other liabilities in the balance sheet.
The allowance for loan losses increased by $34.3$33.9 million, or 41.7%34.6%, to $116.6$131.7 million, or 1.17%1.02% of total loans, at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 from $82.3$97.8 million, or 0.92%0.80% of total loans at December 31, 2019.2021. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily a result of our responseadoption of CECL, as previously described above, and increased loan balances, as previously described above. The additional reserves required as a result of our adoption of CECL were primarily attributable to the COVID-19-related economic impact. Duringloans we acquired in connection with our acquisition of Century which were recorded at fair value at the three and six months ended, June 30, 2020,time of acquisition. Under ASU 2016-13, the credit mark that is a component of the day-one fair value adjustment on acquired loans cannot be considered in the allowance computation, whereas under the incurred loss model, the credit mark could be considered for reserve determination purposes. In connection with our adoption of this standard, we downgraded our risk ratings for all loans secured by hotels and restaurants, and any of our other commercial loans for which our customers are expectingrecorded an increase to face financial difficulties due to the current economic environment, and the lower risk ratings resulted in higher levels of reserves for the allowance. In total, we downgraded the risk rating on $1.7 billion of commercial loans, of which $511.9 million were transferred into the special mention, or worse, risk rating category. This, along with other factors, resulted in a provision for loan loss of $8.6 million and $37.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses of $27.1 million which represented the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment.

Non-accrual loans decreased $6.7 million, or 16.4%, to $34.0 million at September 30, 2022 from $40.6 million at September 30, 2021, primarily due to decreases in non-accrual loans in our commercial and industrial and business banking portfolios of $5.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in non-accrual loans in our consumer home equity and residential real estate portfolios of $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans and business banking loans decreased primarily due to payoffs and curing of delinquency of such loans. Non-accrual consumer home equity loans and non-accrual residential real estate loans increased primarily due to several loans moving to non-accrual status which had been acquired in connection with our acquisition of Century.

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 Credit Losses” within the Notes to the Unaudited 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$18.7 million and $9.0$10.9 million at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, respectively.

The decreaseincrease in goodwill and other intangibles assets was due to the amortizationpurchase of definite- lived intangiblestwo insurance agencies during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.2022. For more information regarding our insurance agency acquisitions, refer to Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We did not record any impairment to our goodwill or other intangible assets at Juneduring the nine months ended September 30, 2020.2022.

(1)The Bank’s estimate of total uninsured deposits was $9.8 billion and $11.0 billion at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Deposits increaseddecreased by $2.3$0.9 billion, or 24.0%4.6%, to $11.8$18.7 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 from $9.6$19.6 billion at December 31, 2019.2021. This increasedecrease was primarily the result of a decrease in money market investments of $0.8 billion, a decrease in demand deposits of $0.4 billion, and a decrease in certificate of deposits of $0.2 billion. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 billion in interest checking deposits. The overall decrease is primarily due to a runoff of higher cost deposits acquired in connection with our acquisition of $571.6 millionCentury, the runoff of government stimulus funds which had been deposited by our customers, higher market rates resulting in greater industry-wide competition for deposits, and a transfer of deposits during the second quarter of 2022. On January 14, 2022, we announced we had entered into an increaseasset purchase agreement for the transfer of $1.2 billion in demand deposits. Duringour cannabis-related and money service business deposits relationships, which we acquired from Century, to Needham Bank. On April 1, 2022, we completed the six months ended June 30, 2020, wetransfer of such deposits, which was subject to a post-transfer settlement period of 60 days. The total amount transferred, a product for our Financial Institutions customers from borrowings to deposits totaling $299.5which includes amounts transferred during the post-transfer settlement period, was $278.0 million.

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$388.4 million or 87.6%, to $29.2$422.7 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 from $235.42022 compared to $34.3 million at December 31, 2019.2021. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to a reductionan increase in FHLB advances, which we borrowed to fund loan originations. The increase was also due, in part, to an increase in interest rate swap collateral funds, which represents collateral posted to us by our financial institution counterparties for over-the-counter interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2021, our financial institution counterparties were not required to post collateral to us due to the low level of $201.1 millionmarket interest rates. Conversely, at September 30, 2022, following increases in market interest rates during the second quarter of federal funds purchased. The reduction in2022, our federal funds purchased was a resultfinancial institutions counterparties were required to post collateral to us of the transfer of a product for our Financial Institution customers from borrowings to deposits.

Net interest margin, decreased 54including PPP loan interest income, increased 34 basis points to 3.49%2.87% during the sixthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

2022, from 2.53% during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net interest margin, including PPP loan interest income, remained flat at 2.64% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in market rates of interest and was partially offset by a decline in PPP net fee accretion of $5.4 million for such periods. The consistency in our net interest margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to the impact of recent increases in market rates having been offset by a reduction in PPP net fee accretion for the same periods. For additional discussion of the decline in the PPP loan net fee accretion and increased interest rates, refer to the earlier “Outlook and Trends” section.

Table of Contents

The following tables set forth average balance sheet items, annualized average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. Interest income on tax-exempt loans and investment securities has been adjusted to an FTE basis using a marginal tax rate of 21.7% and 21.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All average balances arein the table reflect daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

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. The
We recorded a provision for loan losses increased by $7.1 million, or 473.3%, to $8.6of $6.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2022, compared to a release of $1.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. This increase was2021. Management determined a provision to be necessary due to increased loan balances, which were partially offset by continued low historical losses during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with average historical losses for periods preceding the three months ended September 30, 2022. With respect to the three months ended September 30, 2021, management had determined that a release was necessary given the continued improved economic and credit conditions experienced at that time. Overall, we recorded a net provision for allowance for loan risk rating migrationlosses of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a release of $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 during which period management determined the Company’s allowance for loan losses in commercialaccordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” and industrialASC 310, “Receivables” (i.e., prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-13).
To determine our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2022 and commercial real estate portfolios to reflect the impact of the current economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The provision for loan losses increased by $32.7 million, or 726.7%, to $37.2 million for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, compared2022, we used Oxford Economics September 2022 Baseline forecast (“the forecast”) to $4.5 milliongenerate our modeled expected losses by loan portfolio in order to reflect management’s reasonable expectations of current and future economic conditions, which remained relatively stable in comparison to the first and second quarters of 2022. The forecast assumed overall positive but slower economic growth supported by strong employment and consumer spending for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Theremainder of 2022 and expects a mild recession in 2023. Recession expectations were supported by high inflation, rising interest rates, lingering supply chain difficulties, and softer labor market dynamics. Primary macroeconomic assumptions included in management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses included continued low, but rising, unemployment rates and slowing gross domestic product growth. Further, the forecast assumed that the FOMC will continue to raise interest rates into early 2023 following its most recent September 2022 increase was primarily dueand a decrease in the core consumer price index which is expected to remain above the FOMC’s 2% target until mid-2023.

The accrual for such expenses was initially recorded during the second quarter of 2021 and final settlement of the legal matters occurred during the first quarter of 2022.

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, 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.

At June 30, 2020, we had $3.7 billion of commitments to originate loans, comprised of $2.2 billion of commitments under commercial loans and lines of credit (including $291.8 million of unadvanced portions of construction loans), $1.2 billion of commitments under home equity loans and lines of credit, $213.9 million in overdraft coverage commitments, and $45.3 million of unfunded commitments related to residential real estate loans and $20.0 million in other consumer loans and lines of credit. In addition, at June 30, 2020, we had $57.4 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. Finally, we had $67.7 million in forward commitments to sell loans.

Management of Market Risk

General. Market risk is the sensitivity of net present value of assets and liabilities and/or 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 net present value of assets and liabilities and/or 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 asincluding, but not limited to, 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 States Treasury yield curve increasesmarket rates increase or decreasesdecrease instantaneously by +200, +300, +400, -100 and -100-200 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 market interest rates prevalent at June 30, 2020December 31, 2021 precluded the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios, includingscenarios. We do not model negative interest rates.

As of September 30, 2022, our models, as indicated above, show a decline in our net interest income in both rising and falling rate scenarios. In the rising rate scenarios, interest expense is expected to rise at a faster rate than interest income due, in part, to the extension of asset duration from our interest rate swap portfolio designated as cash flow hedges. In the declining rate scenarios, the reduction of interest income exceeds the reduction in interest expense due primarily to the relatively low level of deposit costs at September 30, 2022. The tables above indicate that at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis points increase in rates, we would have experienced a 17.0%1.3% decrease and 2.7%a 15.1% 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%2.3% and a 3.9%5.9% decrease at JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, respectively, in net interest income, on an FTE basis. We also modeled an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates at September 30, 2022, the results of which showed we would have experienced a 6.6% decrease in net interest income, on an FTE basis. We did not model an instantaneous 200 basis points decrease in interest rates at December 31, 2021, as indicated above, given the ability torelatively low level of interest rates. Management may use investment strategy, loan and deposit pricing, non-core funding strategies, and 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. WithoutFor additional information related to our interest rate derivative financial instruments, see Note 13, “Derivative Financial Instruments” within the derivatives, our FTE net interest income would decline by 2.8% with an instantaneous 100 basis point decreaseNotes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in interest rates, rather than the 2.4% decrease shownPart I, Item 1 in the table above at June 30, 2020.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the interest rate risk measurement methodologies underlying the data presented in the tables in this section. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For example, the models assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates, and actual results may differ.
Liquidity, and Capital Resources,

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

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 has been and will continue to be reduced as net proceeds from the IPO are used for general corporate purposes. Our financial condition and results of operations were enhanced by the net proceeds from the stock offering and resulted in increased net interest-earning assets and net interest and dividend income. On November 12, 2021, we completed our merger with Century for $641.9 million in cash. Although the transaction reduced the net proceeds from the IPO, 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 deploy the remaining 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.securities, subject to market conditions. 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 unencumbered cash and due from bankscash equivalents 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, allowingwhich 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 JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, we had a total of $409.0$12.2 million and $270.0$520.5 million of PromontoryIntraFi Network one-way sell deposits, respectively. These deposits could have beenAt September 30, 2022, we had repurchased as$656.9 million of previously sold reciprocal depositsdeposits. At December 31, 2021, no amounts were repurchased of previously sold reciprocal deposits. The additional capacity of $12.2 million and $520.5 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2022, we had $14.9$384.2 million in outstanding advances and the ability to borrow up to an additional $1.4$1.8 billion. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston as well as the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020,2022, we had a $485.0$543.2 million collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of BostonFRBB with no outstanding balance. Additionally, we had $1.1 billion in Paycheck Protection Program Loans that could have been pledged to the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. We had a total of $620.0$790.0 million of discretionary lines of credit at JuneSeptember 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 Planliquidity 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 itsour 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 JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 and December 31, 2019,2021, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company must maintain (1) a minimum of total risk-based capital ratio of 10%; (2) a minimum of Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8%; (3) a minimum of common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%; and (4) a minimum of Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. Management believes that the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There have been no conditions or events that management believes would cause a change in the Company’s categorization. The Company has also received a notice of non-objection from the Federal Reserve with respect to a new share repurchase program through August 31, 2023. For more information regarding the Company’s share repurchase programs, see Note 10,

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

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 September 30, 2022, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations, other commitments and contingencies from those disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.

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.
At September 30, 2022, we had $5.6 billion of commitments to originate loans, comprised of $3.2 billion of commitments under commercial loans and lines of credit (including $629.4 million of unadvanced portions of construction loans), $2.1 billion of commitments under home equity loans and lines of credit, $198.9 million in standard overdraft coverage commitments, $41.6 million of unfunded commitments related to residential real estate loans and $58.4 million in other consumer loans and lines of credit. In addition, at JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

2022, we had $66.5 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. We also had $8.1 million in forward commitments to sell loans.

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

The information required by this Item is included in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Management of Market Risk.”

Changes to Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

106

Table of Contents

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 20202022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has not experienced any material impact to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting due to the fact that most of the Company’s employees responsible for financial reporting are working remotely during the Covid-19COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is continually monitoring and assessing the impact of the Covid-19COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes us to potentially significant risks. For more information regarding the Company’s exposure generally to legal and regulatory risks, see “Business—Legal and Regulatory Proceedings” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on August 18, 2020.

2021 Form 10-K.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not involved in any pending legal proceeding as a plaintiff or a defendant other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business, and we are not involved in any legal proceeding the outcome of which we believe would be material to our financial condition or results of operations.

For additional information related to the Company’s ongoing legal proceedings see Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding the Company’s risk factors, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K, as updated by Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Q1 Form 10-Q and by Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Q2 Form 10-Q. Except for the Company’s prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on August 18, 2020. Asrevised risk factor below regarding “an increase in FDIC insurance assessments could significantly increase our expenses,” as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risk factors of the Company have not changed materially from those disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, as updated by the prospectus.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Q1 Form 10-Q and by the Q2 Form 10-Q. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to general uncertainty and adverse changes in economic conditions and has heightened, and in some cases manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in operating our business, including those disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, updated in the Q1 Form 10-Q and the Q2 Form 10-Q. The risk factors disclosure in our 2021 Form 10-K, our Q1 Form 10-Q, and our Q2 Form 10-Q is therefore qualified by the information relating to COVID-19 that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

An increase in FDIC insurance assessments could significantly increase our expenses.
The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the maximum Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) ratio of 1.5% of estimated deposits, and the FDIC has established a long-term ratio of 2.0%. On September 30, 2021, the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio was 1.27%. In September 2020, the FDIC adopted a restoration plan designed to ensure that the DIF reserve ratio reaches 1.35% by September 2028. In October 2020, the FDIC increased the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules for all FDIC insured depository institutions by 2 basis points, beginning with the quarterly assessment period ending March 31, 2023. The new assessment rate schedules will remain in effect unless and until the DIF reserve ratio meets or exceeds 2%, absent further FDIC action. In addition, if our regulators issue downgraded ratings of Eastern Bank in connection with their examinations, the FDIC could impose significant additional fees and assessments on us.
