Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

March 31, 2023:

In March 2020,2023, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform2023-02, Investments–Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 848). This update addresses optional expedients and exceptions323): Accounting 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 referenceInvestments in Tax Credit Structures Using the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. For public and nonpublic entities, the guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022. The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012 and has elected to defer the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until the nonpublic company effective dates. As such, the Company will adopt this standard on the nonpublic company effective date and is currently in the process of reviewing its contracts and existing processes in order to assess the risks and potential impact of the transition away from LIBOR.

In June 2016, FASB issued Proportional Amortization Method (“ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and relevant amendments (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”2023-02”). This update was createdpermits reporting entities to replaceelect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the current GAAPtax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if the following conditions are met:

1.It is probable that the income tax credits allocable to the tax equity investor will be available.
2.The tax equity investor does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of calculating credit losses Specifically, the standard replacesunderlying project.
3.Substantially all of the existing incurred loss impairment guidance by requiring immediate recognition of expected credit losses. For financial assets carried at amortized cost thatprojected benefits are held at the reporting date (including tradefrom income tax credits and other receivables, loans and commitments, held-to-maturity debt securitiesincome tax benefits. Projected benefits include income tax credits, other income tax benefits, and other financial assets). Credit lossesnon-income-tax-related benefits. The projected benefits are measureddetermined on a discounted basis, using a discount rate that is consistent with the cash flow assumptions used by the tax equity investor in making its decision to invest in the project.
4.The tax equity investor’s projected yield based solely on historical experience, current conditionsthe cash flows from the income tax credits and reasonable supportable forecasts. other income tax benefits is positive.
5.The standard also amendstax equity investor is a limited liability investor in the limited liability entity for both legal and tax purposes, and the tax equity investor’s liability is limited to its capital investment.
Under existing impairment guidanceaccounting standards, the proportional amortization method is allowable only for available for sale securities,equity investments in whichlow-income-housing tax credit losses will be recorded asstructures. Under the proportional amortization method, an allowance versus a write-downentity amortizes the initial cost of the amortized cost basis ofinvestment in proportion to the security. It will also allow for a reversal of impairment loss whenincome tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognizes 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. 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 accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In November 2019, 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 offnet amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits in the valuationincome statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Updates made by ASU 2023-02 allow a reporting entity to make an accounting policy election to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis. The Company had previously made an accounting policy election to account for purchased financial assets withits investments in low-income-housing tax credit deterioration. In addition,investments using the proportional amortization method. This election was made upon the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-01, Investments–Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, which introduced the option to apply proportional amortization to low-income-housing tax credit investments. For public business entities, 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 is2023-02 are effective for annual reporting periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities asin an interim period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Relevant standards that were adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2023:
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 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.2022. For all other entities, the guidance isamendments are effective for annual reporting periodsfiscal 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 adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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
11

amendments in this update were 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 Company, which currently qualifies as an EGC, anticipates to early adopt this standard during the year endingamendments on December 31, 2021TDR disclosures 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 existing 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 willvintage disclosures should 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,prospectively. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 606this standard by using the modified retrospective transition method, except with regard to amendments on TDR and vintage disclosures which were adopted prospectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of 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 sources for which the timing of recognition needed to change under the new standard.2023. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its currentConsolidated Financial Statements.

Significant Accounting Policies
The adoption of ASU 2022-02 resulted in changes in the Company’s accounting policies and practices, orestimates as it relates to loans receivable and the timing or amountallowance for loan losses. The following describes the changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from December 31, 2022, that resulted from the adoption of revenue recognized. AsASU 2022-02:
Allowance for Loan Losses - Loans Held for Investment
Troubled Debt Restructured Loans
The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Thus, 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 that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. ASU 2018-10 was issued to clarify the Codification or to correct unintended application of guidance within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows for an optional transition method in which the provisions of Topic 842 would be applied upon the adoption date and would not have to be retroactively applied to the earliest reporting period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Lastly, ASU 2018-20 provided narrow-scope improvements for lessors, which was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. ASU 2016-02 and the several additional amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as ASC 842.

ASC 842 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and requires all 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 2018-11,2023, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, the Company usednow applies the effective date asloan refinancing and restructuring guidance codified in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 of the dateAccounting Standards Codification to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation 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 permitsan existing loan. As previously indicated, the Company to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification,adopted ASU 2022-02 using the modified retrospective transition method. Accordingly, upon adoption, commercial loan TDRs existing at that time which were measured using a discounted cash flow methodology 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 itsresidential real estate and equipment operating leasesconsumer home equity loan TDRs were transitioned to the applicable segment of $92.9 million and $96.4 million, respectively. The Company recordedloans collectively evaluated for impairment based upon their risk characteristics. Commercial loan TDRs determined to be collateral dependent continue to be assessed for impairment on an adjustmentindividual basis.

Prior to remove the Company’s existing deferred rent liabilityadoption of approximately $3.5 million. TheASU 2022-02, in cases where a borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and the Company also recognizedmade certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan was classified as a transition adjustmentTDR. Modifications included adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, consumer loans where the borrower’s obligations had been effectively discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the borrower had not reaffirmed the debt to the opening balanceCompany, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of retained earningscollateral. Management identified loans as TDR loans when it had a reasonable expectation that it would execute a TDR modification with a borrower. In addition, management estimated expected credit losses on January 1, 2020 amountinga collective basis if a group of TDR loans shared similar risk characteristics. If a TDR loan’s risk characteristics were not similar to $1.1 million, netthose of tax, related to an incremental accrued rent adjustment calculated as a resultany of electing the hindsight practical expedient.Company’s other TDR loans, expected credit losses on the TDR loan were measured individually. The amount of right-of-use assets were determined based uponimpairment analysis discounted the present value of the remaining minimal rental payments under current leasing standardsanticipated 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 was collateral dependent. The amount of credit loss, if any, was recorded as a specific loss allocation to each individual loan or as a loss allocation to the pool of loans, for existing operating leases, adjustedthose loans for optionswhich credit loss was 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 had been classified as a TDR and which subsequently defaulted was reviewed to determine if the Company is reasonably certainloan should be deemed collateral-dependent. In such an instance, any shortfall between the value of the collateral and the book value of the loan was determined by measuring the recorded investment in the loan against the fair value of the collateral less costs to exercise, less accrued rentsell.
Refer to Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” for additional information regarding the Company’s measurement of the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2023 and information regarding the Company’s TDR loans as of December 31, 20192022 and for 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.

three months ended March 31, 2022.

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

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

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 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.lending. 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. 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.

20

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“Pass” rated loans.

1-6W Unrated loans are included with “Pass” rated loans for disclosure purposes.

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.

Asset Quality

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 loans on non-accrual status and without an ACL as of business,both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was not significant. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing.
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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was insignificant.
For collateral values for residential mortgage and home equity loans, the Company may become awarerelies primarily upon third-party valuation information from certified appraisers and values are generally based upon recent appraisals of possible credit problems in which borrowers exhibit potentialthe underlying collateral, brokers’ opinions based upon recent sales of comparable properties, or estimated auction or liquidation values less estimated costs to sell. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had collateral-dependent residential mortgage and home equity loans totaling $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
For collateral-dependent commercial loans, the amount of the allowance 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,loan losses is individually assessed based upon the Company’sfair 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had collateral-dependent commercial loans totaling $12.3 million and $16.2 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no residential real estate held in other real estate owned (“OREO”).

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”)

In

As described previously in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 which eliminated TDR accounting. Previously, in cases where a borrower experiencesexperienced financial difficulty and the Company makesmade certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan iswas classified as a troubled debt restructured loan.TDR. The objective is to aid in the resolution of nonperformingprocess through which management identified 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 therefore are subject to a specific review for impairment loss. The amountthe calculation of impairment loss, if any, is recorded as a specific loss allocation to each individual loan in the allowance for loan losses. Commercial loans and residential loans that have been classified as TDRs and which subsequently default are reviewed to determine if the loan should be deemed collateral dependent. In such an instance, any shortfall betweenon collateral dependent loans is described within Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within the value ofNotes to the collateralConsolidated Financial Statements included within the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. The below disclosures regarding TDRs relate to prior periods 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 iswas to have any TDR loansloan which arewas on nonaccrualnon-accrual status prior to being modified remain on nonaccrualnon-accrual status for approximately six months subsequent to being modified before management considersconsidered its return to accrual status. If the TDR loan iswas on accrual status prior to being modified, it iswas reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans consist 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 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.

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.

11. Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation Plan
On November 29, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved the Eastern Bankshares, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 26,146,141 shares of common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, any or all of which can be granted with performance-based vesting conditions. 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted to all of the Company’s executive officers and certain other employees a total of 318,577 RSUs, which vest pro-rata on an annual basis over a period of three years from the date of the grant, and a total of 108,984 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 from the date of the grant, that the Company has attained a threshold level of certain performance criteria over such period. During the three months ended March 31, 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 from the date of the grant, 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 from the date of the grant, that the Company has attained a threshold level of certain performance criteria over such period. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 4,874,695 shares and 5,302,256 shares that remained available for issuance as restricted stock or RSU awards (including those that may be issued as performance shares and PSUs), respectively, and 18,675,815 shares that remained available for issuance upon the exercise of stock options at both dates. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no stock options had been awarded under the 2021 Plan.

sale securities. The Company established a $17.4 million valuation allowance against the capital loss carryforward deferred tax asset which resulted from the sale of securities for the amount of deferred tax asset management believes is not more-likely-than-not to be realized.
In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company liquidated Market Street Securities Corporation (“MSSC”), a wholly owned subsidiary, and transferred all of MSSC’s assets to Eastern Bank. In connection with the liquidation and subsequent transfer of securities previously held by MSSC to Eastern Bank, the Company recognized an additional deferred income tax benefit of $23.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. This deferred income tax benefit resulted from a state tax rate change applied to the deferred tax asset related to the securities transferred to Eastern Bank.
13. 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.Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in each particular class of financial instruments.

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

The Company has been named a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. 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.

Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. 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 June 30, 2020. The amount of this reserve requirement included in cash and cash equivalents was approximately $3.7 million on December 31, 2019.

14. 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.Consolidated 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
37

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for interest rate swaps which qualify as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

The following table presents the pre-tax impact of terminated cash flow hedges inon AOCI for the next 12 months as of June 30, 2020. This reclassification is due to the amortization of realized but unrecognized gains from the termination of interest rate swaps during the period ended June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized gain on terminated cash flow hedges is $30.6 million.

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

Customer-Related Positions

Interest rate swaps offered to commercial customers do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. These swaps allow the Company to retain variable rate commercial loans while allowing the commercial customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable-to-fixed rate interest rate swap. The Company believes that its exposure to commercial customer derivatives is limited to nonperformancenon-performance 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 nonperformancenon-performance 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.

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.

Cleared derivative transactions are with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, or CME, and exposure is settled to market daily, with additional credit exposure related to initial-margin collateral pledged to CME at trade execution. At June 30, 2020 and DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2023, the Company’sCompany had exposure to CME for settled variation margin in excess of the customer-related and non-customer-related interest rate swap termination values was $0.3 million,of $1.7 million.

In addition, at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, the Company had posted initial-margin collateral in the form of a U.S. Treasury Notenotes amounting to $42.2$85.2 million and $27.6$84.1 million, respectively, to CME for these derivatives. The cash and U.S. Treasury Notenotes were considered restricted assets and were included in cash and due from banks and in available for sale securities respectively.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan origination commitments of $14.7 million and $8.3 million, respectively and forward sale commitments of $10.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 and $0.2 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s mortgage banking derivative asset and liability as of March 31, 2023 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, 2022 was $0.1 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.
15. Balance Sheet Offsetting

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Company’s derivative transactions with upstream financial institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts. However, the Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. The Company nets the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally required to be maintained at dealer banks by the Company is monitored and adjusted as necessary. As of June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, it was determined that no additional collateral would have to be posted to immediately settle these instruments.

16. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company uses

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument isas the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are significant to the fair value measurement.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in
43

Table of Contents

determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. 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.

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 sheetsConsolidated 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, 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, were 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.

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.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair

44

Table of Contents

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” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included within the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, 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.

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 waswere 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$41.0 million at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and $16.2$38.9 million at December 31, 2019.2022. 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

45

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, 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.

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

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.

17. 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

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

Performance obligations

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

The Company has disaggregated its revenueConsolidated Financial Statements.

Contingent revenues are variable and generally based upon the Company’s expectation of the ultimate profit-sharing revenue amounts to be earned and can vary from period to period. The Company’s contracts are generally calendar year contracts whereby revenues from underwriting enterprises are received in the calendar year following placement, generally the first and second quarters, after verification of the performance indicators outlined in the contracts. Accordingly, during each reporting period, management must make its best estimate of the amounts that have been earned using historical averages and other factors to project revenues. The Company bases its estimates each period on a contract-by-contract basis. As estimates may change significantly 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 million as of June 30, 2020, and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2019, and were included in other assets.

Deposit Service Charges

The Company offers various deposit account products to its customers governed by specific deposit agreements applicable to either personal customers or business customers. These agreements identify the general conditions and obligations of both parties and include standard information regarding deposit account-related fees.

Deposit account services include providing access to deposit accounts as well as access to the various deposit transactional services of the Company. These transactional services are primarily those that are identified in the standard fee schedule, and include, but are not limited to, services such as overdraft protection, wire transfer, and check collection. The Company chargesmay charge monthly fixed service fees associated with the customer having access to the deposit account as well as separate fixed fees associated with and at the time specific transactions are entered into by the customer. As such, the Company

considers that its performance obligations are fulfilled when customers are provided deposit account access or when the requested deposit transaction is completed.

Cash Management

Cash management services are a subset of the deposit service charges revenue stream. These services include automated clearing house, or ACH, transaction processing, positive pay, lockbox, and remote deposit services. These services are also governed by separate agreements entered into by the customer. The fee arrangement for these services is structured as a fixed fee per transaction which may be offset by earnings credits. An earnings credit is a discount that a customer receives based upon the investable balance in the applicable covered

deposit account(s) for a given month. Earnings credits are only good for the given month. That is, if cash management fees for a given month are less than the month’s earnings credit, the remainder of the credit does not carry over to the following month. Cash management fees are recognized as revenue in the month that the services are provided. Cash Managementmanagement fees earned but not yet received amounted to $0.8$1.7 million and $2.1 million as of both June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20192022 and were included in other assets.

Trust and Investment Advisory Fees
The Company offers investment management and trust services to individuals, institutions, small businesses and charitable institutions. Each investment management product is governed by its own contract along with a separate identifiable fee schedule unique to that product. The Company also offers additional services, such as estate settlement, financial planning, tax services, and other special services quoted at the customer’s request.
The asset management and/or custody fees are primarily based upon a percentage of the monthly valuation of the principal assets in the customer’s account. Customers are also charged a base fee which is prorated over a twelve-month period. Fees for additional or special services are generally fixed in nature and are charged as services are rendered. All revenue is recognized in correlation to the monthly management fee determinations or as transactional services are provided.
Debit Card Processing Fees

The Company provides debit cards to its customers which are authorized and settled through various card payment networks, and in exchange, the Company earns revenue as determined by each payment network’s interchange program. Regardless of the network that is utilized to authorize and settle the payment, the merchant that provides the product or service to the debit card holder is ultimately responsible for the interchange payment to the Company. Debit card processing fees are recognized as card transactions are settled within each network. Debit card processing fees earned but not yet received amounted to $0.3 million as of both June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20192022 and were included in other assets.

17. Subsequent Events

Plan of Reorganization and Conversion

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

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

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

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

Overview

We are a bank holding company, and our principal subsidiary, Eastern Bank, is a Massachusetts-chartered bank that has served the banking needs of our customers since 1818. Our business philosophy is to operate as a diversified financial services enterprise providing a broad array of banking and other financial services primarily to retail, commercial and small business customers. We had total assets of $14.0$22.7 billion and $11.6$22.6 billion at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, 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$171.9 million, or 84.0%122.9%, of our total income (interestloss (pre-provision net interest and dividend income and noninterest loss/income) for the three months

ended June 30, 2020 and contributed $238.7 million, or 82.6%, of our total income for the six months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023, and our insurance agency business, which contributed $23.9partially offset the banking business loss by $32.0 million, or 16.0%22.9%, of our total incomeloss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $50.4 million, or 17.4%, of our total income for the six months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2023. 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 loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 computed in accordance with GAAP was $194.1 million as compared to net income of $51.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of available for sale securities at a loss in connection with our balance sheet repositioning completed in March 2023. Refer to the later sections titled “Outlook and Trends” and “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” within this Item 2 for additional discussion. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 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 months ended March 31, 2023 was $61.1 million compared to operating net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $55.1 million representing an increase of 10.9%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income. 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):
2738
Earnings per share decreased from $0.30 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to a loss per share of $1.20 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was due to our balance sheet repositioning which included a sale of AFS securities at a loss and which was completed in March 2023 as described above.

Our GAAP efficiency ratio is our noninterest expenses divided by the sum of our net interest income and noninterest income. 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):
3443
The GAAP efficiency ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in the GAAP efficiency ratio during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was attributable to a net loss for the period, while in all other periods shown we had net income. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to the balance sheet repositioning completed in March 2023 described above. The non-GAAP operating efficiency ratio during the three months ended March 31, 2023 remained relatively consistent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 relatively 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 lines of credit 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total commercial and industrial loans of $3.2 billion, representing 23.2% of our total loans as of each period end. 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our SNC Program portfolio totaled $790.5 million and $685.8 million, or 24.9% and 21.9%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio, and 37.3% for both periods, 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”), and industrial revenue bonds (“IRBs”), the balances of which are detailed below:
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our ABL Portfolio totaled $211.5 million and $208.8 million, or 6.7% and 6.6%, respectively, of our commercial and industrial portfolio.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our commercial and industrial IRB portfolio, which is comprised of municipal bonds issued to finance major capital projects, totaled $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, or 29.6% and 31.7%, respectively, of our commercial real estate portfolio.
Commercial real estate: Loans in this category include mortgage loans and lines of credit on commercial real estate, both investment and owner occupied. Property types financed include office, industrial, multi-family, affordable housing, retail, hotel, and other type properties. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total commercial real estate loans of $5.2 billion, representing 38.1% and 38.0%, respectively, of our total loans as of each period end. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, owner occupied loans totaled $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, representing 17.2% and 17.8%, respectively, of our commercial real estate loans. Collateral values are established by independent third-party appraisals and evaluations. The primary repayment sources include operating income generated by the real estate, permanent debt refinancing and/or the sale of the real estate. Our commercial real estate loan portfolio also included IRB loans of $587.0 million and $608.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total commercial construction loans of $357.1 million and $336.3 million, representing 2.6% and 2.5%, respectively, of our total loans. Our commercial construction loan portfolio also included IRB loans as of $43.1 million and $36.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively
Business banking: Loans in this category are comprised of loans to small businesses with exposures of under $1.0 million and small investment real estate projects with exposures of under $3.0 million. These loans are separate and distinct from our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios described above due to the size of the loans. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total business banking loans of $1.1 billion, representing 7.9% and 8.0%, respectively, of our total loans as of each period end. In this category, commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $200.3 million and $878.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023, and $208.4 million and $882.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
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.
Residential Lending

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

Residential real estate: Loans in this category consist of mortgage loans on residential real estate. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had total residential loans of $2.5 billion, representing 18.3% and 18.1%, respectively, of our total loans as of each period end. 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 months ended March 31, 2023, residential real estate mortgage originations were $57.2 million, of which $9.1 million were sold on the secondary markets. Comparatively, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, residential real estate mortgage originations were $118.3 million, of which $29.2 million were sold on the secondary markets. We began purchasing residential real estate mortgage loans

Home equity lines of credit are granted for ten years with monthly interest-only repayment requirements. Home equity lines of credit can be converted to term loans that are fully amortized. 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: Loans in this category consist of unsecured personal lines of credit, overdraft protection, automobile and aircraft loans, and other personal loans. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had total other consumer loans of $334.7 million and $402.4 million, representing 3.3% and 4.5%, respectively, of our total loans. Our policy and underwriting in this category include the following factors, among others, income sources and reliability, credit histories, term of repayment and collateral value, as applicable.

Outlook and Trends

The COVID-19 pandemic has had

Interest Rates
Beginning in March 2022, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) voted to increase the federal funds rate multiple times from a range of 0.00% to 0.25% to a range of 5.00% to 5.25% on May 3, 2023, when the FOMC stated that it will closely monitor incoming information and continuesassess the implications for monetary policy. In determining the extent to have an adverse effectwhich additional policy firming may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 percent over time, the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments.
Inevitably, not all of our interest 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 businessbalance 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 markets in which we operate. We expect the short-term and long-term economic consequencesslope of the COVID-19 pandemicinterest rate yield curve. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying, and, where appropriate, hedging our customers will continueexposure. Approximately 34% of the outstanding principal balance of our loans as of March 31, 2023 was indexed to be significant, anda market rate that is expected to reprice along with the continuing health and safety concerns relatingfederal funds rate. 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 March 31, 2023, representing approximately 17.5% of the outstanding principal balance of our loans at that date. For more detail regarding such hedging financial instruments, refer to Note 14, “Derivative Financial Instruments” within the Notes to the ongoing pandemic will change the way we conduct our business and interact with our customers. Consistent with our philosophy of seeking to be a source of economic strength to our communities, we have taken a broad range of steps to help our colleagues, our borrowers and our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Colleagues. For our colleagues, we have enabled more than half of our employees to work remotely and we are providing premium pay for those colleagues who travel to our workplaces to serveUnaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included 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 workPart I, Item 1 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 have not deferred our recognition of interest income with respect to loans subject to modifications.

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

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we originated $1.1 billion of loans to approximately 8,100 borrowers under the PPP under the CARES Act. The vast majority of our PPP borrowers are existing commercial and small business borrowers, non-profit customers, retail banking customers and clients of Eastern Wealth Management and Eastern Insurance Group LLC.Form 10-Q. We anticipate that the vast majority of our PPP exposure will be forgiven latean increase in market interest rates, whether due to an increase in the year ending December 31, 2020federal funds rate or earlyotherwise, will decrease the fair value of those interest rate swaps and consequently reduce the positive impact on our net interest income that an interest rate increase would otherwise have. Refer to the section titled “Management of Market Risk” within this Item 2 for additional discussion including the estimated change to 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.

Increases in the year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020federal funds rate over the last twelve months and greater industry-wide competition for deposits 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 resultscost of interest-bearing liabilities and funding betas. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022 and to assist in meeting our loan-growth needs, we placed additional reliance on wholesale funding in the form of borrowings and then, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we started to purchase brokered certificates of deposit. These funding sources generally have a higher cost than deposits originating within the markets we serve and are not our preferred sources of funding. We expect both our cost of interest bearing liabilities and funding betas to improve in 2023, as during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we completed a balance sheet repositioning by selling a portion of our AFS securities portfolio for total proceeds of $1.9 billion. The proceeds from the sale of such securities have been used to increase cash levels and may be used to reduce wholesale funds over time and, in turn, improve our net interest margin.

Liquidity and Uninsured Deposits
As noted previously, we completed a balance sheet repositioning during the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023 by selling a portion of our AFS investment securities portfolio for total proceeds of $1.9 billion. Such securities were lower-yielding U.S. Agency bonds and we believe it will continuegovernment-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities which were purchased when interest rates were historically low. The record rise in interest rates over the last twelve months caused the fair value of such securities to have a significant impact fordecline and, after careful consideration, management made the decision in early March and prior to the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank to sell these securities to improve liquidity and future earnings.
We also took steps to strengthen our backup sources of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 by pledging securities to the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program. As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $2.1 billion and secured borrowing capacity 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 stepsBank and Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $5.0 billion, providing total liquidity sources of $7.1 billion. These liquidity sources provide 107% coverage of all customer uninsured and uncollateralized deposits, which totaled $6.7 billion, or 36% of total deposits, on March 31, 2023. For further discussion of liquidity, refer to lower“Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” within this Item 2 and for further discussion of uninsured deposits, refer to the “Deposits” discussion within “Financial Position” within this Item 2.

Commercial Real Estate Office Exposure
Our total office-related CRE loans (which is comprised of loans secured by office space, medical office space, and mixed-use retail/office space in our commercial real estate, business banking, and construction portfolios) totaled $1.2 billion as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Given prevailing market conditions such as rising interest rates, reduced occupancy as a result of the increase in hybrid work arrangements post-COVID, and reduced the target rangelower commercial real estate valuations, we are carefully monitoring these loans for the federal funds rate to between 0.0%signs of deterioration in credit quality. As of March 31, 2023, three of these loans, totaling $0.8 million and 0.25%, compared to the previous targetwithin our business banking portfolio, were on non-accrual status. As of between 1.00% and 1.25%. These interest rate reductions, combined with the decline in longer term rates, will lower our net interest income over time from the levels we experienced in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our loan loss provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $8.62022, five of these loans, totaling $0.6 million compared to $28.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. We experienced negative migrations inand within our loan risk ratings in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, although the extentbusiness banking portfolio, were on non-accrual status.

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.

items in the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

There are items in our financial statements that impact our results thatbut which we believe are unrelated to our core business. Therefore,Accordingly, we present operating net operating earnings,income, noninterest income on an operating basis, noninterest expense on an operating basis, total operating 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) OREO gains and losses, (vii) merger and acquisition expenses.

expenses, (viii) the non-cash pension settlement charge recognized related to our Defined Benefit Plan, and (ix) certain discrete tax items. There were no expenses indirectly associated with OREO gains or losses, or impairment charges on tax credit investments and associated tax credit benefits 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, this amount is primarily comprised of a $53.2 million tax benefit, net of a valuation allowance, resulting from the sale of securities classified as available for sale and a $23.7 million tax benefit resulting from the transfer of certain securities from Market Street Securities Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary which was liquidated during the three months ended March 31, 2023, to Eastern Bank. Upon the sale of securities, we established a valuation allowance of $17.4 million as it was determined at that time it was not more likely than not that the entirety of the deferred tax asset related to the loss on such securities would be realized.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our U.S. government securities consisted of U.S. Agency bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. We maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, at zero risk weighting for capital purposes, and as collateral for interest rate derivative positions. At June 30, 2020U.S. Agency bonds include securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHLB, and December 31, 2019, our U.S. Government securities consisted solely of U.S. Treasury securities.

the Federal Farm Credit Bureau.

Mortgage-backed securities:We invest in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac, 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 accelerationaccretion of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. We periodically review current prepayment speeds to determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

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

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

(1)Investment security weighted-average yields were calculated on a level-yield basis by weighting the tax equivalent yield for each security type by the book value of each maturity.
The yield on tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions has been adjusted to a fully taxable equivalentan FTE basis (“FTE”) by adjusting tax-exempt income upward by an amount equivalent to the prevailing federal income taxes that would have been paid if the income had been fully taxable.

Net unrealized gains on available for sale securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $62.1 million and $28.0 million, respectively.

Loans

We consider our loansloan portfolio to be relatively diversified by borrower and industry. Our gross loans increased $1.0 billion,$99.7 million, or 11.4%0.7%, to $10.0$13.7 billion at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 from $9.0$13.6 billion at December 31, 2019.2022. The increase as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 was primarily due to $1.1 billion PPPincreases in our commercial real estate and residential real estate portfolio balances.
Our commercial real estate portfolio increased by $45.9 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 which was primarily attributable to an increase of $70.1 million in commercial real estate investment loan originations,balances. Such loans represent loans secured by commercial real estate that are non-owner-occupied. The increase in such loan balances was primarily due 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 belief that the credit performance of such loans has a stable outlook.

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%3.0% and 2.6%2.2% of total commercial loans outstanding at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively.

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.

Non-accrualnon-accrual loans increased $9.9 million, or 23.3%, to $52.3 million at June 30, 2020 from $42.5 million at December 31, 2019, primarily due to a $7.7 million increase inwhich comprise our business banking portfolio and $6.1 million increase in our residential real estate portfolio, partially offset by the paydowns of certain NPLs as discussed above.

The total amount of interest recorded on NPLs was $0.3 million forduring both the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2023 and 2022 was not significant. The gross interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of those loans if they had been performing amounted to $2.0$1.1 million and $0.5 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020.

Troubled debtMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, 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. As noted within Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 which eliminated TDR accounting. Prior to the adoption of this standard, we reviewed each loan that was modified to identify whether a TDR had occurred. TDRs involved situations in which, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we granted a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise have considered. Subsequent to our adoption of this standard, we apply the loan refinancing and restructuring (“TDR”)guidance codified in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 of the Accounting Standards Codification to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan.
ASU 2022-02 requires disclosure of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The aggregate amortized cost balance as of March 31, 2023 of loans modified during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2023, determined in accordance with ASU 2022-02, which were $2.8 million (post modification balance). Theredetermined to be modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty was one$2.3 million. As of March 31, 2023, there were no loans that had been modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and which subsequently defaulted during the period.
Under previous accounting guidance, in cases where a borrower experienced financial difficulties and we made certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan was classified as a TDR. Loans modified during the three months ended March 31, 2022 which were determined to be TDRs, determined in accordance with a balanceprevious accounting guidance in effect through December 31, 2022, totaled $0.8 million. As of $1.3 millionMarch 31, 2022, there were no loans that had been modified during the preceding 12 months, which were party to a TDR and which subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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.

Purchasesubsequent 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.

Purchased credit impaireddeteriorated (“PCI”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 June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20192022, the carrying amount of PCIPCD loans was $12.4$56.0 million and $13.5$56.6 million, 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, ourOur 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 $660.6increased by $70.2 million, or 37.5%, to $257.2 million at March 31, 2023 from $187.0 million at December 31, 2022. These loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.9% at March 31, 2023 from 1.4% at December 31, 2022. The increase in potential problem loans from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the downgrade of several commercial and $157.3 million, respectively.

industrial and commercial real estate loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Allowance for loancredit losses.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 increasedis allocated to loan categories using both a formula-based approach and an analysis of certain individual loans for impairment. We use a methodology to systematically estimate the amount of 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, we enter 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The allowance for loan losses decreased by $34.3$1.3 million, or 41.7%0.9%, to $116.6$140.9 million, or 1.17%1.03% of total loans, at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 from $82.3$142.2 million, or 0.92%1.05% of total loans at December 31, 2019.2022. The increasedecrease in the allowance for loan losses was primarily athe result of our response to the COVID-19-related economic impact. During the three and six months ended, June 30, 2020, we downgraded our risk ratingsadoption of ASU 2022-02, as previously described above, which resulted in a change in reserving method for all loans secured by hotels and restaurants, and anypreviously classified as TDRs. Upon adoption of our other commercialASU 2022-02, TDR loans for which our customers are expecting 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 was determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, transitioned to their respective pools of loans sharing similar risk characteristics for which the allowance for loan losses is determined on a collective basis. As a result, the allowance for loan losses for such loans was reduced by $1.1 million.

Table of ChangesContents

Non-accrual loans increased $0.8 million, or 2.2%, to $34.6 million at March 31, 2023 from $33.8 million at March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in residential real estate non-accrual loans of $1.3 million which was partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate and business banking non-accrual loans of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase in non-accrual residential real estate loans is primarily due to an overall increase in the Allowance for Loan Losses

To determine if a loan should be charged-off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed. Possible sources of repayment include the potential for future cash flows, liquidation of the collateral and the strength of co-makers or guarantors. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged-off against the allowance for loan losses and any recoveries of such previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, we charge off the amount of any confirmed loan loss in the period when the loans, or portions of loans, are deemed uncollectible. For troubled, collateral-dependent loans, loss confirming events may include an appraisal or other valuation that reflects a shortfall between the value of the collateral and the carrying value of the loan or receivable, or a deficiency balance following the sale of the collateral.
For additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses, see Note 4, “Loans and Allowance for 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$45.2 million and $9.0$41.4 million at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively.

The amount of stock we are required to purchase is proportional to our FHLB borrowings and level of total assets. Accordingly, the increase in FHLB stock is due to increased borrowings.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets were $376.3$660.2 million and $377.7$661.1 million at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively. The decrease in goodwill and other intangibles assets was due to the amortization of definite- lived intangibles during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We did not record any impairment to our goodwill or other intangible assets at June 30, 2020.during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We will continue to assess our goodwill and other intangible assets to determine if impairments are necessary duringnecessary.
Deposits
Deposits originating within the remaindermarkets we serve continue to be our primary source of funding our earning assets. Historically, we have been able to compete effectively for deposits in our primary market areas. The distribution and market share of deposits by type of deposit and by type of depositor are important considerations in our assessment of the year ending December 31, 2020stability of our fund sources and beyond as it relatesour access to additional funds.

This increasedecrease was primarily the result of an increasea decrease in brokered certificates of deposit of $318.9 million. Brokered certificates of deposit decreased as such accounts matured and were not renewed in full as we emphasized other means for increasing our overall liquidity as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in brokered certificates of deposit was more than offset by a shift in deposit mix of certain core deposits from demand and interest checking deposits, which decreased by $0.7 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, to certificates of $571.6 million and andeposit resulting in a net increase in certificates of $1.2 billiondeposit. This shift in demand deposits. Duringdeposit mix during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023 was due primarily to increases in rates paid on certificates of deposit, which attracted depositors to such products. Money market investments increased $0.4 billion primarily due to increased IntraFi Network deposits. Refer to the later “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” section in this Item 2 for additional discussion of such deposits.
The Bank’s estimate of total uninsured deposits was $8.4 billion and $9.0 billion at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In accordance with the FDIC’s Call Report instructions, these estimates include accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries, the holding company, and internal operating deposit accounts (together referred to as “internal deposit accounts”). In addition, these estimates include municipal deposit accounts for which securities were pledged by us to secure such deposits (“collateralized deposits”). For liquidity monitoring purposes, we transferred a product forexclude internal deposit accounts and collateralized deposits from our Financial Institutions customers from borrowings toestimate of uninsured deposits. Our estimate of uninsured deposits, totaling $299.5 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$397.6 million or 87.6%, to $29.2 million$1.1 billion at June 30, 2020 from $235.4March 31, 2023 compared to $740.8 million at December 31, 2019.2022. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to a reductionan increase in FHLB short-term advances, which we borrowed to increase our liquidity. Refer to the later “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” section in this Item 2 for additional discussion of $201.1 million of federal funds purchased. The reduction in our federal funds purchased was a result of the transfer of a product for our Financial Institution customers from borrowings to deposits.

The decreaseincrease was primarily a result of the negative impact of a lower interest rate environment.

Interest income on loans decreased by $10.1 million, or 9.9%, to $92.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $102.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest income on securities decreased $0.8 million, or 7.8%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest and dividend income decreased by $16.2 million, or 7.2%, to $208.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $224.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was a result of lower interest income on our loans asan increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 73which increased by 112 basis points duringcompared with the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by our recording of deferred fees related to our PPP loans. Our average interest-earning assets increased by $1.2 billion, or 11.1%, to $11.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 compared to $10.5 billion as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2022. Our yields on loans and securities are generally presented on an FTE basis where the embedded tax benefit on loans orand securities are calculated and added to the yield. ThisManagement believes that this presentation allows for better comparability between institutions with different tax structures.

Partially offsetting the impact of increased yields was a decrease in the average balance of our interest-earning assets which decreased slightly by $83.2 million, or 0.4%, to $21.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $21.9 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of securities.

The overall yield on our loans increased 126 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2023 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in yield was primarily due to the downward adjustmentincreases in market rates of the interest which resulted in increased yields on variable rate loans which repriced and new loans originated at higher rates on our existing adjustable-rate loans as a result of the lowering interest rate environment, whereas the average balance of loans increased due to continued efforts to expand our loan portfolio. The FTE yield on average loans decreased 59 basis points to 4.03% during the six months ended June 30, 2020.interest.

The decrease in interest income on securities was due to lower overall market rates. The FTE yield on average securities decreased 100 basis points to 2.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average balance of securities and other interest earning assets increased by $628.2 million, or 40.7%, to $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 compared to $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2019.

We received approximately $35.8 million of PPP loan origination fees from the SBA. We also deferred certain origination costs, totaling $3.5 million, related to our PPP loans. The loan fees and the deferred costs will be amortized through interest income over the life of the PPP loans, which is expected to be 24 months, but the amortization period will be adjusted as PPP loans are forgiven or repaid. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $4.1 million in PPP loan fees, net in interest income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $6.1 million, or 65.9%, to $3.2$35.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 from $9.3$30.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2022. The decreaseincrease in interest income on our securities was due to an increase in the average yield of such securities. The yield on our securities and short-term investments increased 50 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2023 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in the rate paid on our cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from an average of 0.19% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to an average of 4.59% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, our cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston increased during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 due primarily to the deposit of proceeds from the sale of AFS securities (discussed earlier) in March 2023. Partially offsetting this increase was a result of lower funding costs associated with the declinecorresponding decrease in market interest rates.

March 31, 2022. This increase was due to an increase in the rates paid on deposits and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Rates paid on deposits increased by 122 basis points to 1.33% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 0.11% during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which we increased in response to an increase in market rates of interest and heightened industry-wide competition for deposits. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we began purchasing brokered certificates of deposit. Such deposits bear higher rates of interest in comparison to our core deposits. Consequently, the purchases of brokered certificates of deposit contributed to the increase in rates paid on deposits.

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreasedrelated to our borrowings increased by $1.9$7.6 million or 96.3%, to $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from less than $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.0March 31, 2022.

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 less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023, compared to $1.5a release of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase wasMarch 31, 2022. Management determined a provision to be necessary due primarily to theincreased loan risk rating migration in commercialbalances.
Management’s estimate of our allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2023 and industrial 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 months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023, was supported, in part, by Oxford Economics’ March 2023 Baseline forecast (“the forecast”) which was used to develop management’s estimate of the effect of expected future economic conditions on the allowance for loan losses. The forecast assumed the U.S. economy will enter a recession in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily dueassumption used as of December 31, 2022 which had assumed the U.S. economy would enter a recession in the second quarter of 2023. This forecast reflects the combination of continued strong consumer product demand, consistent labor market metrics, and stronger economic growth rates than anticipated following the recent increases to the changefederal funds rate by the FOMC. Primary macroeconomic assumptions included in management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan risk ratingslosses included continued low unemployment rates and a steady gross domestic product (“GDP”). Further, the forecast assumed that the FOMC will continue to reflectraise interest rates into mid-2023 following its most recent March 2023 increase. The core consumer price index remained steady, and is expected to remain well above the FOMC’s 2% target through 2023. Refer to the section titled “Outlook and Trends” within this Item 2 for additional discussion. For additional discussion of our allowance for credit losses measurement methodology, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and 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.

To illustrate the sensitivity of the modeled result to the impact of a hypothetical change in the increased concerns about customers that are expecting to face financial difficulties due toeconomic forecast, management calculated the currentallowance for loan losses assuming the downside economic environment resulting fromforecast scenario and, separately, the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily related toupside economic forecast scenario. The downside scenario assumed the downgradingU.S. economy will enter a more severe recession in the third quarter of our hotel2023 and restaurant loan portfolios. Theexperience a decline in GDP of 3.0% peak-to-trough. Use of the downside scenario would have resulted in an incremental increase in the provision also reflects the increased concern about the performanceallowance for loan losses of approximately $9.0 million as of March 31, 2023. The upside scenario assumed GDP growth of 1.8% in 2023, 2.0% in 2024 and sustained recovery. Use of the loan portfolio given the increaseupside scenario would have resulted in an incremental decrease in the non-performing loans and delinquent loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

allowance for loan losses of approximately $4.9 million as of March 31, 2023.

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

This increasedecrease was primarily due to a $5.9$331.0 million increase in losses on sales of securities available for sale, a $3.3 million decrease in interest rate swap income which resulted from a current period net loss from such swaps compared to net income in the comparative prior period, and a $2.1 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest expense decreasedincreased by $0.8$7.4 million, or 0.8%6.8%, to $100.8$116.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 from $101.6$108.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $9.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $2.7 million increase in other noninterest expenses. Partially offsetting these increases were a $1.9 million decrease in data processing expenses and a $1.7 million decrease in office occupancy and equipment expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to an increase of $3.7 million in regular salaries and wages expense, which was primarily due to costs of living salary and wage increases and the addition of new employees. Also contributing to the increase was a $3.4 million increase in benefit expense related to our defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“DC SERP”). Participant benefits are adjusted based upon deemed investment performance. Accordingly, such investments experienced an increase in value during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulting in a corresponding increase in the related benefit expense. Also contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits was an increase in the legacy long-term cash-based incentive plan compensation expense as well as an increase in the restricted stock award expense. Expense related to the long-term cash-based incentive plan was a net credit (reduction of expense) during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which resulted from a decline in certain metrics to which the awards are tied during such periods. The decline in expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was less than the decline during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Also contributing to the increase was a $1.4 million increase in restricted stock award expense, which increased due to the restricted stock awards granted during the second quarter of 2022. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of $1.5 million in the pension service cost, which was primarily driven by a decrease in the assumed rate of compensation increase.
Other noninterest expenses increased primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in other pension expense. This is primarily due to a decrease in other noninterest expense of $1.7 million,expected return on plan assets in our Defined Benefit Plan. For further discussion on the Company’s Defined Benefit Plan refer to see Note 10, “Employee Benefits” within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also contributing to this increase was a $1.1$1.4 million increase in net periodic benefit cost, excluding service cost, andthe provision for credit losses on off balance sheet exposures, which is primarily due to an increase in unfunded commercial loan commitments. Partially offsetting these items was a $1.0 million decrease in marketingbad check losses, which is primarily due to recuperated losses from the year ended December 31, 2022. Also partially offsetting these increases was a $0.7 million decrease in other professional fees, which was driven by a decrease in printed check costs, which was higher than usual during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in order to accommodate new customers from our acquisition of Century.

Office occupancy and equipment expenses decreased primarily due to a $4.7 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $3.3 million decrease in charitable contributions and a $2.2 million decrease in net periodic benefit cost, excluding service cost, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in professional servicesdepreciation expense and $1.6 million increase in loan expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased primarily as a result of a favorable defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan expense as a result ofduring the less favorable mark-to-market adjustment on securities held in rabbi trust accounts, lower incentive expenses and deferrals of nonrefundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans (primarily due to the PPP loans), partially offset by higher commissions.

Charitable contributions decreased primarily as a result of lower contributions to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation, as a result of lower taxable income for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023 compared to during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019.

Net period benefit cost, excluding service cost, decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the expected return on plan assets.

Professional services increased primarily as a result of higher legal costs related to (i) corporate-related matters, (ii) loan- related matters and (iii) our commercial banking strategy and development services.

Loan expenses increased primarily as a result of increased mortgage loan originations.

Average interest-earning assets grew $1.2 billion, or 11.1%, to $11.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $10.5 billion as of June 30, 2019, with average total loans, our largest category of average interest-earning assets, growing $529.4 million, or 5.9%, to $9.4 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $8.9 billion as of June 30, 2019.

Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $404.3 million, or 6.4%, to $6.7 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $6.3 billion as of June 30, 2019, with average total deposits, our largest category of average interest-bearing liabilities, growing $637.5 million, or 10.7%, to $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $6.0 billion as of June 30, 2019.

Assets under management in our wealth management business increased by $134.5 million, or 5.5%, to $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2019. Our income related to our asset management business, which we record as noninterestInterest and dividend income increased by $0.2$57.4 million, or 4.3%43.7%, to $5.2$188.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $5.0March 31, 2023 from $131.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2022 which was primarily driven by an increase in the yields on interest-earning assets. The overall increase was due to the fees we earnedin our yield on interest-earning assets, which increased 112 basis points from 2.48% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily dueMarch 31, 2022 to higher valuations of our3.60% during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was partially offset by a decrease in average interest-earning assets, under management.

Interest expense increased by $0.7$47.2 million or 7.3%, to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was due to the fees we earned during the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to higher valuations of our assets under management.

Insurance Agency Segment

Noninterest income related to our insurance agency business decreased by $0.6 million, or 2.5%, to $23.9$50.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 from $24.5$3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decreaseMarch 31, 2022, which was driven primarily by a decrease in negotiated commissions and profit sharing revenues of $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in the rates paid on deposits. There was an increase of 122 basis points in rates paid on deposits, which increased from 0.11% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 1.33% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. For additional discussion, refer to the earlier “Interest and Dividends” section.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a release of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We determined a provision to be appropriate due to overall increased loan balances during the three months ended March 31, 2023 in comparison to the first quarter of 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and following continued improved economic and credit conditions, we determined that a release of the provision was necessary. For additional discussion, refer to the earlier “Provision for Loan Losses” section.
Losses on sales of securities available for sale, net, were $333.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 which represents an increase of $331.0 million compared to a loss of $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The loss on sale was due to the decision by management to sell certain available for sale securities in March 2023, the majority of which were in a net unrealized loss position at the time of sale.
Also contributing to the decrease in noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a $3.3 million decrease in our interest rate swap income resulting in a loss position, primarily as a result of an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a favorable mark-to-market adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Partially offsetting the decrease in noninterest income was income from investments held in rabbi truststrust accounts, which were $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 which represents an increase of $0.8$6.5 million andfrom a $3.9 million loss recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily a result of a favorable mark-to-market adjustment on equity securities held in these accounts during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Noninterest expense increased $5.5 million, or 6.1%, to $95.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $90.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was driven primarily by a $3.0 million increase in recurring commissionsregular salaries and wages expenses, a $2.8 million increase in other pension expenses, a $1.6 million increase in the legacy long-term cash-based incentive plan compensation expense, and a $1.4 million increase in the provision for credit losses on off balance sheet exposures. Partially offsetting these increases were a $1.9 million decrease in data processing expenses, a $1.8 million decrease in office occupancy and equipment expenses, and a $1.0 million decrease in bad check losses. Refer to the earlier “Noninterest Expense” section for additional discussion of $0.3 million due to organic growth.

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 commitmentsbenefit expense related to residential real estate loansour DC SERP and $20.0 millionincreases in other consumer loanssalaries and lineswages expenses. Refer to the earlier “Noninterest Expense”section for additional discussion 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 the 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 the 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 securitiesassets and derivatives,liabilities, as well as other effects. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to attempt 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 itsour 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.

As noted in the earlier section titled “Outlook and Trends” and the later section titled “Liquidity, Capital Resources, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies” in this Item 2, we completed a balance sheet repositioning during the three months ended March 31, 2023 by selling a portion of our AFS investment securities portfolio for total proceeds of $1.9 billion. Such securities were lower-yielding U.S. Agency bonds and government-sponsored residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities which were purchased when interest rates were historically low. As a result of such sales, we expect our net interest margin to be less susceptible to decline as a result of future increases to the federal funds rate which may occur. Prior to the sale, we placed reliance on wholesale funding, including brokered deposits, to meet our loan-growth needs which have a higher cost than deposits originating within the markets we serve and are not our preferred sources of funding. Subsequent to the sale, our reliance on such funding sources is lessened as we believe we have a stronger liquidity position.

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 calculateestimate 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 +100, +200, +300, +400, -100, -200, and -100-400 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Changes in Interest Rates” column below. The model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates. The relatively low level of interest rates prevalent at June 30, 2020 precluded the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios, includingWe do not model negative interest rates.

As of March 31, 2023, our models, as indicated above, show a decline in our net interest income in rising rate and falling rate scenarios. In the rising rate scenarios, funding costs are modeled to rise faster than the yield on earning assets, due, in part, to the mix of funding which has shifted towards higher rate paying deposits and wholesale funding in recent quarters. In the falling rate scenarios, particularly the 400 basis point decrease scenario, faster prepayment speeds on certain loan and investment types are modeled to reduce earning asset yields at a faster rate than the rate of decline in funding costs. The tables above indicate that at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis points increase in rates, we would have experienced a 17.0%0.9% decrease and 2.7% increase,a 4.2% decrease, respectively, in net interest income on an FTE basis, and in the event of an instantaneous 100200 basis points decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 2.4%1.8% decrease and a 3.9% decrease1.8% increase at June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, respectively, in net interest income, on an FTE basis. We also modeled an instantaneous 400 basis point decrease in interest rates at March 31, 2023, the results of which showed we would have experienced a 9.3% decrease in net interest income on an FTE basis. We did not model an instantaneous 400 basis point decrease in interest rates at December 31, 2022 given the abilitylower level of interest rates compared to March 31, 2023. 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.

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.

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 and securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are unencumbered cash and due from banks and securities classified as available for sale.

sale, which could be liquidated, subject to market conditions. In the future, our liquidity position will be affected by the level of customer deposits and payments, as well as acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases in which we may engage. For the next twelve months, we believe that our existing resources, including our capacity to use brokered deposits and wholesale borrowings, will be sufficient to meet the liquidity and capital requirements of our operations. We may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt financing to fund business activities such as strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, or other purposes beyond the next twelve months.

At March 31, 2023, we had $2.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $2.0 billion from $169.5 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in cash levels was due primarily to a decrease of $2.0 billion in AFS securities from $6.7 billion at December 31, 2022 to $4.7 billion at March 31, 2023. In March 2023, we completed a balance sheet repositioning by selling lower yielding AFS securities. The sale allowed us to redeploy the proceeds in the current higher interest rate environment either through increased cash levels or the reduction of wholesale funds over time. The increased cash levels at March 31, 2023 provided strong balance sheet liquidity to support the needs of our depositors as part of our liquidity contingency planning during the uncertain environment created by the bank failures in the month of March 2023. Advances from the FHLBB were used to support ongoing operations and bolster on-balance sheet liquidity and totaled $1.1 billion and $0.7 billion at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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.entities that exceed same-bank FDIC insurance thresholds. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other Promontory networkIntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs. At June 30, 2020both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022 we had a total of $409.0no IntraFi Network one-way sell deposits. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had repurchased $863.4 million and $270.0$665.0 million, respectively, of Promontory deposits, respectively. These deposits could have been repurchased aspreviously sold reciprocal deposits and should be considered a source of liquidity.

Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining back upadditional sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.FHLBB. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023, we had $14.9 million$1.1 billion in outstanding advances and the ability to borrow up to an additional $1.4$1.5 billion. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston as well as the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility.Boston. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2023, we had a $485.0 million$2.6 billion collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston with no outstanding balance. Additionally,through the Bank Term Funding Program. The Bank Term Funding Program was created by the Federal Reserve in March 2023. At March 31, 2023 we had $1.1the ability to borrow up to $879.1 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Discount Window In addition, we were able to acquire brokered deposits at our discretion to raise additional funds. At March 31, 2023, we had $609.7 million in brokered certificates of deposit. At March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $2.1 billion in Paycheck Protection Program Loans that couldand secured borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $5.0 billion, providing total liquidity sources of $7.1 billion. These liquidity sources provided 107% coverage of all customer uninsured and uncollateralized deposits, which totaled $6.7 billion, or 36% of total deposits, as of March 31, 2023.

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 itsour need for liquid assets as well as backup sources of liquidity.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve (with respect to our consolidated capital requirements). At June 30, 2020March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2019,2022, 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 regulatory capital ratio of 10.0%; (2) a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%; (3) a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0%; and (4) a minimum of Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0%. Management believes that the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There have been no conditions or events that management believes would cause a change in the Company’s categorization.

In March 2015, the FDIC issued a Financial Institution Letter (FIL-12-2015) indicating that non-advanced approaches institutions may make a one-time, permanent election to opt out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in regulatory capital. At that time, we opted to make such an election. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on our AFS securities portfolio are not included in regulatory capital. Consequently, the balance sheet repositioning we completed in March 2023 with the sale of AFS securities reduced our regulatory capital and related capital ratios, as the unrealized loss on such securities (which was included in AOCI and excluded from regulatory capital) was effectively reclassified to retained earnings (which is included in regulatory capital).
The Company’s actual capital ratios are presented in the following table:
As of March 31, 2023As of December 31, 2022
Capital Ratios:
Average equity to average assets (1)10.93 %12.52 %

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 March 31, 2023, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations, other commitments and contingencies from those disclosed in our 2022 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 March 31, 2023, we had $5.7 billion of commitments to originate loans, comprised of $3.3 billion of commitments under commercial loans and lines of credit (including $702.1 million of unadvanced portions of construction loans), $2.1 billion of commitments under home equity loans and lines of credit, $199.5 million in standard overdraft coverage commitments, $20.9 million of unfunded commitments related to residential real estate loans and $60.5 million in other consumer loans and lines of credit. In addition, at June 30, 2020.

March 31, 2023, we had $62.8 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. We also had $10.5 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.
